A field guide to the visionaries and the fans who are reinventing the art of storytelling. Not long ago we were spectators, passive consumers of mass media. Now, on YouTube and blogs and Facebook and Twitter, we are media. And while we watch more television than ever before, how we watch it is changing in ways we have barely slowed down to register. No longer content in our traditional role as couch potatoes, we approach media as experiences to immerse ourselves in at will.

Назначение этих лекций — помочь человеку, далекому от систематического изучения культуры, начать ориентироваться в мировом культурном процессе. Нравы классической Античности, живопись Высокого Возрождения, русский реализм, современное постмодернистское искусство, язык китча, рекламы и нашей повседневности — мы видим, что язык культуры меняется, но есть ли незримый закон, подобно маятнику определяющий ее движение?

It argues that the messy brand of horror mobilized in gore or "splatter" films is extremely responsive to the internal contradictions that threaten the future sustainability of capitalist accumulation. And, while responding to the prospect of that end, splatter promotes an extant truth: capitalist accumulation is and always has been a nightmare of systematized bloodshed.

Fast hätte J. R. R. Tolkien den Ersten Weltkrieg nicht überlebt. Einzig die Tatsache, dass er 1916 am sogenannten Grabenfieber erkrankte und in der Folge nach England zurückgeschickt wurde, rettete ihm wohl das Leben.

Als Professor für englische Philologie in Oxford lebte er zurückgezogen, verreiste selten und rauchte gerne Pfeife – wie die von ihm geschaffenen Hobbits. Tolkien liebte die nordische Mythologie.
