The Gamin de Paris in Nineteenth-Century Visual Culture: Delacroix, Hugo, and the French Social Imaginary (Routledge Research in Art History)
by Marilyn R. BrownThe revolutionary boy at the barricades was memorably envisioned in Eugène Delacroix’s painting Liberty Leading the People (1830) and Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables (1862). Over the course of the nineteenth century, images of the Paris urchin entered the collective social imaginary as cultural and psychic sites of memory, whether in avant-garde or more conventional visual culture. Visual and literary paradigms of the mythical gamin de Paris were born of recurring political revolutions (1830, 1832, 1848, 1871) and of masculine, bourgeois identity constructions that responded to continuing struggles over visions and fantasies of nationhood. With the destabilization of traditional, patriarchal family models, the diminishing of the father’s symbolic role, and the intensification of the brotherly urchin’s psychosexual relationship with the allegorical motherland, what had initially been socially marginal eventually became symbolically central in classed and gendered inventions and repeated re-inventions of "fraternity," "people," and "nation." Within a fundamentally split conception of "the people," the bohemian boy insurrectionary, an embodiment of freedom, was transformed by ongoing discourses of power and reform, of victimization and agency, into a capitalist entrepreneur, schoolboy, colonizer, and budding military defender of the fatherland. A contested figure of the city became a contradictory emblem of the nation.
Gaming and Geography: A Multi-perspective Approach to Understanding the Impacts on Geography (Education) (Key Challenges in Geography)
by Michael Morawski Sebastian Wolff-SeidelThis book explores the uncharted territory where gaming and geography intersect in "Gaming and Geography (Education)." This book bridges the gap between video games and geography, delving into the constructivist creative processes of game development, gameplay, and critical reflections on video games' role in geographical discourses. Through a multi-perspective lens, the book examines how video games can facilitate the exploration of geographic questions and act as catalysts for critical discourses. Scholars shed light on the geographies presented in video games, including their representations, spatial images, and policies. By viewing video games as cultural and critical geography practices, the authors enrich the political, socio-cultural, and critical geographies associated with this medium. A key argument of the book is that video games can foster systemic competence and networked thinking, particularly in addressing complex socio-ecological challenges like climate change and migration. In contrast to traditional geography classes, digital games provide valuable simulations of complex systems, enhancing students' understanding and skills. The book also explores other possibilities such as digital field trips and language support to enhance the educational experience. "Gaming and Geography (Education)" offers a compelling narrative that highlights the diverse roles video games can play in geographic education. By exploring the intersection of gaming and geography, this book deepens our understanding of this dynamic relationship and its impact on critical geographies within the realm of video games.

Gaming the Stage: Playable Media and the Rise of English Commercial Theater (Theater: Theory/Text/Performance)
by Gina BloomRich connections between gaming and theater stretch back to the 16th and 17th centuries, when England's first commercial theaters appeared right next door to gaming houses and blood-sport arenas. In the first book-length exploration of gaming in the early modern period, Gina Bloom shows that theaters succeeded in London's new entertainment marketplace largely because watching a play and playing a game were similar experiences. Audiences did not just see a play; they were encouraged to play the play, and knowledge of gaming helped them become better theatergoers. Examining dramas written for these theaters alongside evidence of analog games popular then and today, Bloom argues for games as theatrical media and theater as an interactive gaming technology. Gaming the Stage also introduces a new archive for game studies: scenes of onstage gaming, which appear at climactic moments in dramatic literature. Bloom reveals plays to be systems of information for theater spectators: games of withholding, divulging, speculating, and wagering on knowledge. Her book breaks new ground through examinations of plays such as The Tempest, Arden of Faversham, A Woman Killed with Kindness, and A Game at Chess; the histories of familiar games such as cards, backgammon, and chess; less familiar ones, like Game of the Goose; and even a mixed-reality theater videogame.

Gandhi and Architecture: A Time for Low-Cost Housing
by Venugopal MaddipatiGandhi and Architecture: A Time for Low-Cost Housing chronicles the emergence of a low-cost, low-rise housing architecture that conforms to M.K. Gandhi’s religious need to establish finite boundaries for everyday actions; finitude in turn defines Gandhi’s conservative and exclusionary conception of religion. Drawing from rich archival and field materials, the book begins with an exploration of Gandhi’s religiosity of relinquishment and the British Spiritualist, Madeline Slade’s creation of his low-cost hut, Adi Niwas, in the village of Segaon in the 1930s. Adi Niwas inaugurates a low-cost housing architecture of finitude founded on the near-simultaneous but heterogeneous, conservative Gandhian ideals of pursuing self-sacrifice and rendering the pursuit of self-sacrifice legible as the practice of an exclusionary varnashramadharma. At a considerable remove from Gandhi’s religious conservatism, successive generations in post-colonial India have reimagined a secular necessity for this Gandhian low-cost housing architecture of finitude. In the early 1950s era of mass housing for post-partition refugees from Pakistan, the making of a low-cost housing architecture was premised on the necessity of responding to economic concerns and to an emerging demographic mandate. In the 1970s, during the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries crisis, it was premised on the rise of urban and climatological necessities. More recently, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, its reception has been premised on the emergence of language-based identitarianism in Wardha, Maharashtra. Each of these moments of necessity reveals the enduring present of a Gandhian low-cost housing architecture of finitude and also the need to emancipate Gandhian finitude from Gandhi’s own exclusions. This volume is a critical intervention in the philosophy of architectural history. Drawing eclectically from science and technology studies, political science, housing studies, urban studies, religious studies, and anthropology, this richly illustrated volume will be of great interest to students and researchers of architecture and design, housing, history, sociology, economics, Gandhian studies, urban studies and development studies.
Gang Busters: The Crime Fighters of American Broadcasting
by Martin GramsFrom 1935 to 1958, GANG BUSTERS established a reputation for presenting authentic case histories from the files of law enforcement, re-enactments of the criminal underworld including "Baby-Face" Nelson, Ma Barker and her boys, John Dillinger, and Willie "The Actor" Sutton. Thrilling escapades such as the Alcatraz Prison Riot and million dollar bank robberies were the subject of GANG BUSTERS broadcasts. Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf (father of the same Gulf-War Schwarzkopf) and New York's Lewis J. Valentine were two of the many weekly hosts who introduced each broadcast. GANG BUSTERS was the first radio program to feature weekly "clues" describing convicts at large, assailants wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and listeners paid close attention to the details, which gave local law enforcement an edge in the apprehension of more than 300 criminals during the program's 20-year run. GANG BUSTERS also expanded into a television series, two big- screen movies, a matinee serial and a lengthy series of comic books. This book features a documentary about the GANG BUSTERS program, covering every aspect of the series including background production, lawsuits from listeners, a biography about Phillips H. Lord, the creator of the series, and a complete episode guide for each and every radio and television broadcast.

The Gangster Film: Fatal Success in American Cinema (Short Cuts)
by Ron WilsonThis volume examines the gangster film in its historical context with an emphasis on the ways the image of the gangster has adapted and changed as a result of socio-cultural circumstances. From its origins in Progressive-era reforms to its use as an indictment of corporate greed, the gangster film has often provided a template for critiquing American ideas and values concerning individualism, success, and business acumen. The gangster genre has also been useful in critically examining race and ethnicity in American culture in terms of "otherness." Films studied include Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912), The Racket (1928), The Captive City (1952), The Godfather, Part Two (1974), Goodfellas (1990), and Killing Them Softly (2012).

Gangsters & Grifters: Classic Crime Photos from the Chicago Tribune
by Chicago TribuneA collection of some never-before-published vintage photos that &“exposes Chicago&’s underbelly . . . an era full of guns, gore and gangsters&” (WGLT.org). Created from the Chicago Tribune's vast archives, Gangsters and Grifters is a collection of photographs featuring infamous criminals, small-time bandits, hoodlums, and more at shocking crime scenes. These vintage glass-plate and acetate negatives were taken from the early 1900s through the 1950s, and they have been largely unseen for generations. That is because most have never been published, only having been witnessed by the photographers and police in the moments after an arrest, crime, or even murder. Included are graphic crime scenes, raw evidence, and depictions of searing emotions, captured on film during a time when photographers were given unprecedented access alongside police. Some photographs resemble film noir movie stills. Some are cartoonish. All feature real people, real drama, and real crimes. Accompanying information about each is included wherever possible, often with archived news stories. Gangsters & Grifters is a powerful, visually stunning look back into the dark story of Chicago&’s nefarious crime underworld. These fascinating, surprising, and entrancing photos reveal still-unsolved murder mysteries and portraits of notorious gang overlords like John Dillinger and Al Capone. This is a must-have for photography buffs, history lovers, and anyone curious about the seedy underbelly of early twentieth-century Chicago.

Garabatos: Cómo dominar el garabateo en 6 sencillos pasos
by The Blokehead¿Qué es el garabateo? Antes de intentar aprender a garabatear es preciso aprender qué significa realmente este término. El origen de la palabra «garabato» es incierto. La actual edición del diccionario de la RAE señala que esta palabra es de origen prerromano, y otras fuentes nos indican que sus primeras acepciones fueron las de «punzón» o «garfio». La acepción moderna de la palabra «garabato» que usamos comúnmente hoy en día (refiriéndonos a dibujos pequeños que hacemos distraídamente mientras pensamos), aparece ya en textos de finales del siglo XVI, y figura en el diccionario de Covarrubias de 1611. Dejando todo el tema histórico de lado, podemos decir que un garabato no es más que un dibujo que se hace de manera distraída o inconsciente, normalmente cuando se tiene la atención puesta en cualquier otra cosa. Es por esto precisamente por lo que los garabatos suelen encontrarse en los márgenes de los cuadernos o en notas adhesivas en el trabajo: la gente que se encuentra anclada a un sitio obligada a escuchar una llamada telefónica, prestar atención en una clase, etc., cogerán un bolígrafo y comenzarán distraídamente a hacer dibujos pequeños. Estos dibujos son lo que llamamos garabatos. Cómo garabatear No hay una manera correcta o incorrecta de garabatear, al igual que no hay una manera correcta o incorrecta de dibujar. Para garabatear se podría usar un bloc de dibujo blanco inmaculado, pero también los márgenes de un cuaderno o un taco de hojas adhesivas. Se puede usar un lápiz del número dos, un bolígrafo o cualquier material de dibujo que se desee; mientras se tenga un medio, es posible garabatear. Cuando llega el momento de comenzar con los garabatos, es importante dejar que los pensamientos fluyan y concentrarse en cualquier idea creativa que se te ocurra. Quizá veas una letra A enorme en el membrete de una de tus hojas y decidas dibujar enredaderas trepando a ella en esp

The Garb of Being: Embodiment and the Pursuit of Holiness in Late Ancient Christianity (Orthodox Christianity and Contemporary Thought)
by Georgia Frank, Susan R. Holman, and Andrew S. JacobsThis collection explores how the body became a touchstone for late antique religious practice and imagination. When we read the stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different types of bodies stand before us? How do we understand the range of bodily experiences—solitary and social, private and public—that clothed ancient Christians? How can bodily experience help us explore matters of gender, religious identity, class, and ethnicity? The Garb of Being investigates these questions through stories from the Eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies.Contributors include S. Abrams Rebillard, T. Arentzen, S. P. Brock, R. S. Falcasantos , C. M. Furey, S. H. Griffith, R. Krawiec, B. McNary-Zak, J.-N. Mellon Saint-Laurent, C. T. Schroeder, A. P. Urbano, F. M. Young

Garbo
by Robert GottliebA New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice | One of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2021Award-winning master critic Robert Gottlieb takes a singular and multifaceted look at the life of silver screen legend Greta Garbo, and the culture that worshiped her.“Wherever you look in the period between 1925 and 1941,” Robert Gottlieb writes in Garbo, “Greta Garbo is in people’s minds, hearts, and dreams.” Strikingly glamorous and famously inscrutable, she managed, in sixteen short years, to infiltrate the world’s subconscious; the end of her film career, when she was thirty-six, only made her more irresistible. Garbo appeared in just twenty-four Hollywood movies, yet her impact on the world—and that indescribable, transcendent presence she possessed—was rivaled only by Marilyn Monroe’s. She was looked on as a unique phenomenon, a sphinx, a myth, the most beautiful woman in the world, but in reality she was a Swedish peasant girl, uneducated, naïve, and always on her guard. When she arrived in Hollywood, aged nineteen, she spoke barely a word of English and was completely unprepared for the ferocious publicity that quickly adhered to her as, almost overnight, she became the world’s most famous actress.In Garbo, the acclaimed critic and editor Robert Gottlieb offers a vivid and thorough retelling of her life, beginning in the slums of Stockholm and proceeding through her years of struggling to elude the attention of the world—her desperate, futile striving to be “left alone.” He takes us through the films themselves, from M-G-M’s early presentation of her as a “vamp”—her overwhelming beauty drawing men to their doom, a formula she loathed—to the artistic heights of Camille and Ninotchka (“Garbo Laughs!”), by way of Anna Christie (“Garbo Talks!”), Mata Hari, and Grand Hotel. He examines her passive withdrawal from the movies, and the endless attempts to draw her back. And he sketches the life she led as a very wealthy woman in New York—“a hermit about town”—and the life she led in Europe among the Rothschilds and men like Onassis and Churchill. Her relationships with her famous co-star John Gilbert, with Cecil Beaton, with Leopold Stokowski, with Erich Maria Remarque, with George Schlee—were they consummated? Was she bisexual? Was she sexual at all? The whole world wanted to know—and still wants to know.In addition to offering his rich account of her life, Gottlieb, in what he calls “A Garbo Reader,” brings together a remarkable assembly of glimpses of Garbo from other people’s memoirs and interviews, ranging from Ingmar Bergman and Tallulah Bankhead to Roland Barthes; from literature (she turns up everywhere—in Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, in Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and the letters of Marianne Moore and Alice B. Toklas); from countless songs and cartoons and articles of merchandise. Most extraordinary of all are the pictures—250 or so ravishing movie stills, formal portraits, and revealing snapshots—all reproduced here in superb duotone. She had no personal vanity, no interest in clothes and make-up, yet the story of Garbo is essentially the story of a face and the camera. Forty years after her career ended, she was still being tormented by unrelenting paparazzi wherever she went.Includes Black-and-White Photographs
Garcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of Renaissance Europe
by Mary E BarnardGarcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of Renaissance Europe examines the role of cultural objects in the lyric poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega, the premier poet of sixteenth-century Spain. As a pioneer of the "new poetry" of Renaissance Europe, aligned with the court, empire, and modernity, Garcilaso was fully attuned to the collection and circulation of luxury artefacts and other worldly goods. In his poems, a variety of objects, including tapestries, paintings, statues, urns, mirrors, and relics participate in lyric acts of discovery and self-revelation, reveal memory as contingent and unstable, expose knowledge of the self as deceptive, and show how history intersects with the ideology of empire.Mary E. Barnard's study argues persuasively that the material culture of early sixteenth-century Europe embedded within Garcilaso's poems offers a key to understanding the interplay between objects and texts that make those works such vibrant inventions.

Garden and Landscape Practices in Pre-colonial India: Histories from the Deccan (Visual and Media Histories)
by Daud Ali; Emma J. FlattThis book presents a set of new and innovative essays on landscape and garden culture in precolonial India, with a special focus on the Deccan. Most research to date has concentrated on the comparatively well preserved gardens and built landscapes of the celebrated Mughal empire, giving the impression that they have been lacking in other times and regions. Not only does this volume provide a corrective to such assumptions, it also moves away from traditional art-historical approaches by posing new questions and exploring hitherto neglected source materials. The contributors understand gardens in two related ways: first as real or imagined spaces and manipulated landscapes that are often invested with pronounced semiotic density; and second as congeries of institutions and practices with far-reaching social ramifications for the constitution of elite societies. The essays here present a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of garden culture in precolonial India, and together suggest several new and exciting directions of enquiry for those working in the Deccan, Mughal India, and beyond.
