Ju-On: The Grudge (Devil's Advocates)
by Marisa HayesTakashi Shimizu's Ju-on franchise was a principal instigator in the rise of contemporary Japanese horror and its international popularity at the turn of the millennium. Following the success of Hideo Nakata's Ringu (1998), the first cinematic release of Ju-on: The Grudge in 2002 crystallized Japanese horror's rise to prominence and outlined the new decade's thematic interest in supernatural technology and fear of contagions, while skilfully navigating domestic social concerns, such as Japan's growing elderly population and domestic violence.This Devil's Advocate explores the production roots of Ju-on The Grudge, followed by a critical reading of the film that highlights its essential themes and motifs, in addition to a section on cultural influences, before concluding with a section on Shimizu's continued involvement with the Ju-on franchise and its ongoing legacy. The book serves as an excellent primer for readers without prior knowledge of Japanese horror or the Ju-on film cycle, while providing fresh perspectives on the film that makes it equally appealing to J-horror aficionados.

The Judaic Nature of Israeli Theatre: A Search for Identity (Contemporary Theatre Studies #Vol. 31.)
by Dan UrianTheatre has, since the time of the Jewish Enlightenment, served the secular community in its conflict with the religious. This book surveys the secular-religious rift and then describes the enhanced concern of the secular community in Israel for its own Jewishness and its expression in the theatre - especially following the 1967 War. It then moves on to a specific study of the play Bruira and finally reviews the phenomenon of the return to Orthodox Judaism by secular individuals.
Judges, Judging and Humour
by Jessica Milner Davis Sharyn Roach AnleuThis book examines social aspects of humour relating to the judiciary, judicial behaviour, and judicial work across different cultures and eras, identifying how traditionally recorded wit and humorous portrayals of judges reflect social attitudes to the judiciary over time. It contributes to cultural studies and social science/socio-legal studies of both humour and the role of emotions in the judiciary and in judging. It explores the surprisingly varied intersections between humour and the judiciary in several legal systems: judges as the target of humour; legal decisions regulating humour; the use of humour to manage aspects of judicial work and courtroom procedure; and judicial/legal figures and customs featuring in comic and satiric entertainment through the ages.Delving into the multi-layered connections between the seriousness of the work of the judiciary on the one hand, and the lightness of humour on the other hand, this fascinating collection will be of particular interest to scholars of the legal system, the criminal justice system, humour studies, and cultural studies.

Judson Dance Theater: Performative Traces
by Ramsay Burt"The Judson Dance Theatre "explores the work and legacy of one of the most influential of all dance companies, which first performed at the Judson Memorial Church in downtown Manhattan in the early 1960s. There, a group of choreographers and dancers--including future well-known artists Twyla Tharp, Carolee Schneemann, Robert Morris, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainier, and others--created what came to be known as " postmodern dance." Taking their cues from the experiments of Merce Cunningham, they took movements from everyday life--walking, running, gymnastics--to create dances that influenced not only future dance work but also minimalism in music and art, as well as the wedding of dance and speech in solo performance pieces.Judson's legacy has been explored primarily in the work of dance critic Sally Banes, in a book published in the 1980s. Although the dancers from the so-called "Judson School" continue to perform and create new works--and their influence continues to grow from the US to Europe and beyond--there has not been a book-length study in the last two decades that discusses this work in a broader context of cultural trends. Burt is a highly respected dance critic and historian who brings a unique new vision to his study of the Judson dancers and their work which will undoubtedly influence the discussion of these seminal figures for decades to come"Performative Traces: Judson" "Dance Theatre and Its Legacy "combines history, performance analysis, theory, and criticism to give a fresh view of the work of this seminal group of dancers. It will appeal to students of dance history, theory, and practice, as well as all interested in the avant-grade arts and performance practice in the 20th century.

Judy and I: My Life with Judy Garland
by Randy L. Schmidt Sid LuftThe third of Judy Garland's five husbands, Sid Luft was the one man in her life who stuck around. He was chiefly responsible for the final act of Judy's meteoric comeback after she was unceremoniously booted off the MGM lot: he produced her iconic, Oscar-nominated vehicle A Star Is Born and expertly shaped her concert career. Previously unpublished, Sid Luft's intimate autobiography tells his and Judy's story in hard-boiled yet elegant prose. It begins on a fateful night in New York City when the not quite divorced Judy Garland and the not quite divorced Sid Luft meet at Billy Reed's Little Club and fall for each other. The romance lasted Judy's lifetime, despite the separations, the reconciliations, and the divorce. Under Luft's management, Judy came back bigger than ever, building a singing career that rivaled Sinatra's. However, her drug dependencies and suicidal tendencies put a tremendous strain on the relationship. Sid did not complete his memoir; it ended in 1960 after Judy hired David Begelman and Freddie Fields to manage her career. But Randy L. Schmidt, acclaimed editor of Judy Garland on Judy Garland and author of Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter, seamlessly pieced together the final section of the book from extensive interviews with Sid, most previously unpublished. Despite everything, Sid never stopped loving Judy and never forgave himself for not being able to ultimately save her from the demons that drove her to an early death at age forty-seven in 1969. Sid served as chief conservator of the Garland legacy until his death at the age of eighty-nine in 2005. This is his testament to the love of his life.
Judy Garland on Judy Garland: Interviews and Encounters
by Randy L. SchmidtJudy Garland on Judy Garland is the closest we will come to experiencing and exploring the legend's planned autobiography. Collecting and presenting the most important Garland interviews and encounters that took place between 1935 and 1969, this work opens with her first radio appearance under contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and concludes with her last known interview, one taped for Radio Denmark just months before her death. What makes this collection unique is that it places Judy in the role of storyteller. She wrote a number of essays for various publications and sat for countless print, radio, and television interviews. These and other autobiographical efforts she made are proof that Judy Garland wanted her story told in her own words. Finally, 45 years after her death, here it is.
Judy + Liza + Robert + Freddie + David + Sue + Me: A Memoir
by Stevie PhillipsNo star burned more ferociously than Judy Garland. And nobody witnessed Garland's fierce talent at closer range than Stevie Phillips. During the Mad Men era, Stevie Philips was a young woman muscling her way into the manscape of Manhattan's glittering office towers. After a stint as a secretary, she began working for Freddie Fields and David Begelman at Music Corporation of America (MCA) under the glare of legendary über-agent Lew Wasserman. When MCA blew apart, Fields and Begelman created Creative Management Associates (CMA), and Stevie went along. Fields convinced Garland to come on board, and Stevie became, as she puts it, "Garland's shadow," putting out fires-figurative and literal-in order to get her to the next concert in the next down-and-out town. Philips paints a portrait of Garland at the bitter end and although it was at times a nightmare, Philips says, "She became my teacher," showing her "how to" and "how not to" live.Stevie also represented Garland's fiercely talented daughter, Liza Minnelli, as well as Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Henry Fonda, George Roy Hill, Bob Fosse, Cat Stevens, and David Bowie. She produced both films and Broadway shows and counted her colleague, the legendary agent Sue Mengers, among her closest confidantes. Now Stevie Phillips reveals all in Judy & Liza & Robert & Freddie & David & Sue & Me..., a tough-talking memoir by a woman who worked with some of the biggest names in show business. It's a helluva ride.

Juego de tronos y la filosofía
by Henry Jacoby William IrwinLa lógica es más afilada que las espadas. Se acerca la casa del dragón. Todo lo que siempre has querido saber sobre Juego de tronos, el maravilloso universo creado por R.R. Martin. ¿Son el honor y la verdad necesarios para conseguir la felicidad, o bien nos impiden llegar a ella? ¿Pueden los huargos y otras criaturas fantásticas revelarnos las verdades sobre nuestra conciencia y nuestra realidad?¿La profecía nos demuestra que somos meros peones del destino o bien que somos libres de vivir una vida auténtica? Si las series de televisión son ideales para el análisis filosófico, Juego de tronos lo es por partida doble. En Westeros y más allá del Mar Angosto, el mundo de George R.R. Martin está repleto de docenas de personajes complejos en conflicto con ellos mismos y en lucha con otros, dudando de sí mismos, abocados al riesgo moral, al engaño, a la incertidumbre, a la arrogancia y a la agitación social y política. Mientras los Siete Reinos están en guerra, más allá del Muro, los horrores del invierno se acercan. Muy lejos, una joven reina lucha con su destino mientras viaja para recuperar su hogar. Todo esto es sabido, pero esta guía perspicaz se basa en las obras de Maquiavelo, Hobbes, Descartes, San Agustín, Platón, Aristóteles y muchos otros grandes filósofos para analizar los personajes y argumentos clave, mientras explora temas como la guerra, el honor, el conocimiento, la moral, la teoría de género y mucho más de una manera tan amena como sorprendente. La crítica ha dicho...«Aplica las teorías de filósofos como Platón, Aristóteles, Kant o Hume para intentar dar explicación a las motivaciones y los conflictos de los personajes de “Juego de tronos”. Y que permite a su vez que los lectores se acerquen de una forma curiosa y divertida a esa área del conocimiento humano que es la filosofía.»Fantasymundo «Puede ser la luz que necesitamos para ver y comprender mejor la historia.»The Perks of Being More than a Reader«Sumamente disfrutable.»El Economista «Analiza algunos de los temas claves de la historia de Martin a la luz de los grandes pensadores: honor guerra, conocimiento, moral, verdad...»El norte de Castilla «Me he dado cuenta de muchas cosas de la historia, del porqué de muchos actos de variospersonajes, el arco de unos, las razones de algunas muertes, etc. De pararte a reflexionar con cada línea.»ABIBLIOPHOBICX
Juegos y videojuegos: Un escape interactivo de la monotonía... (¿Cómo...? #95)
by Owen Jones¿Por qué a la gente le gusta jugar? Bueno, muchos millones de profesionales y padres preocupados se han estado haciendo esta misma pregunta durante al menos cincuenta años. Cuando los videojuegos comenzaron en los años setenta, la mayoría de la gente los veía como un poco de diversión, pero a medida que la locura se afianzaba, incluso en esa década, los intelectuales y educadores comenzaron a llamarlo “una estúpida distracción” y a los jugadores “tontos”. Esto continuó hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo, y se escribieron millones de palabras despectivas sobre los videojuegos y los jugadores. Sin embargo, la marea ahora está cambiando, y los ‘expertos’ están pontificando sobre los aspectos positivos de los juegos para los jugadores… incluso para los más jóvenes. Mientras este debate se arremolinaba a su alrededor, los jugadores seguían con lo que más les gustaba hacer: jugar videojuegos. Mucho se ha escrito acerca de por qué los juegos conquistaron a la juventud de los setenta y por qué ahora, a personas de todas las edades les encanta jugar. A algunos les gusta el juego de roles, a otros les gusta la asunción de riesgos virtuales y a otros les gusta perfeccionar habilidades que normalmente no usarían. Algunos incluso sueñan con unirse a las delgadas filas de los jugadores de élite millonarios. Sea cual sea el motivo, ¡que disfrutes mucho tiempo de tu afición y que la Fuerza te acompañe! La información en este libro electrónico sobre varios tipos de juegos, video, computadora, arcade y temas relacionados está organizada en 16 capítulos de aproximadamente 500 a 600 palabras cada uno. Como beneficio adicional, le doy permiso para utilizar el contenido en su propio sitio web o en sus propios blogs y boletines, aunque es mejor si primero los vuelve a escribir con sus propias palabras.

Julia Child: and Other Conversations (The Last Interview Series)
by Julia ChildA delightful collection of interviews with the beloved Julia Child--"The French Chef," author, and television personality who revolutionized home cooking in 20th century AmericaThis delightful collection of interviews with "The French Chef" Julia Child traces her life from her first stab at a writing career fresh out of college; to D.C., Sri Lanka, and Kunming where she worked for the Office of Strategic Services (now the CIA); to Paris where she and her husband Paul, then a member of the State Department, lived after World War II, and where Child attended the famous cooking school Le Cordon Bleu. From there, Child catapulted to fame--first with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961 and the launch of her home cooking show, "The French Chef" in 1963. In this volume of carefully selected interviews, Child's charm, guile, and no-nonsense advice are on full, irresistibly delicious display. Includes an Introduction from Helen Rosner, food critic for the New Yorker.
Julia Child's the French Chef
by Dana PolanJulia Child's TV show, The French Chef, was extraordinarily popular during its broadcast from 1963 until 1973. Child became a cultural icon in the 1960s, and, in the years since, she and her show have remained enduring influences on American cooking, American television, and American culture. In this concise book, Dana Polan considers what made Child's program such a success. It was not the first televised cooking show, but it did define and popularize the genre. Polan examines the development of the show, its day-to-day production, and its critical and fan reception. He argues that The French Chef changed the conventions of television's culinary culture by rendering personality indispensable. Child was energetic and enthusiastic, and her cooking lessons were never just about food preparation, although she was an effective and unpretentious instructor. They were also about social mobility, the discovery of foreign culture, and a personal enjoyment and fulfillment that promised to transcend domestic drudgery. Polan situates Julia Child and The French Chef in their historical and cultural moment, while never losing sight of Child's unique personality and captivating on-air presence.
