Meditaciones de cine
by Quentin TarantinoLlega el esperado y ansiado primer libro de no ficción de Quentin Tarantino. Su libro más personal: un viaje íntimo por sus películas favoritas, relatado con una voz inconfundible. Probablemente, Quentin Tarantino sea uno de los mayores cineastas de la historia, pero de lo que no hay atisbo de duda es de que estamos hablando del espectador que mejor puede contagiar su pasión entusiasta por las películas que ha visto. Ahora, por fin llega el libro con el que tantos años soñaron él y sus seguidores. En Meditaciones de cine, Tarantino analiza desde los puntos de vista más insólitos y con su particular conocimiento enciclopédico varias películas clave del cine norteamericano de los setenta, todas ellas vistas en su más tierna infancia (de las más violentas a las más tórridas), así como revisitadas compulsivamente. El resultado es una obra tan rigurosa y reflexiva como juguetona y entretenida. Meditaciones de cine es, a la vez, crítica cinematográfica, teoría del cine, reportaje literario y unas memorias formidables, a la altura de clásicos del género como los de Hitchcock y Truffaut o Luis Buñuel. La crítica ha dicho...«Lo que une todos los hilos y temas de este libro es una rotunda verdad autobiográfica: que Tarantino ha sido espectador antes de ser cineasta y lo seguirá siendo durante muchísimo tiempo. Por eso es imbatible».The New York Times «Un libro en que se mezclan memorias, disquisiciones, arrebatos, entrevistas, datos recónditos, reflexiones fortuitas sobre actores de cine y directores, comentarios mordaces y demás obsequios sobre el viejo arte de sentarse en un patio de butacas a observar con placer imágenes en movimiento».Rolling Stone «No cuesta imaginar un universo alternativo (pero mucho más pobre) en el que Tarantino sea crítico de cine en vez de cineasta ganador de dos Óscar. Se nota que conoce bien lo que le gusta y sabe enganchar al lector con suma facilidad [...]. Un libro divertidísimo».San Francisco Chronicle «A nadie puede sorprender que la crítica cinematográfica de Tarantino sea tan rotunda, inteligente y asombrosa como sus películas».The New York Times «Descocado y audaz [...]. Nutre y apasiona a partes iguales, rebosa de vida en el mejor de los sentidos. Se nota que a Tarantino nada le gusta más que ir hasta el fondo de las películas».The Guardian «Lo que aquí ofrece Tarantino son cartas de amor muy bien documentadas a sus películas favoritas, salidas de uno de los momentos históricos más ambiciosos de Hollywood. Un ensayo de altos vuelos escrito por un artista único».Kirkus (Reseña destacada) «Tarantino trae la marcha y la exuberancia de su experiencia cinematográfica, su arte para contar historias y su humor agudo, así como una mezcla impresionante de historias personales, historia cinematográfica y crítica cinematográfica. [...] Este libro nos ofrece las historias chisporroteantes que hubo tras la producción y muchas críticas especulativas y exigentes. [...] Una celebración divertida e imprescindible del cine».Booklist (Reseña destacada) «Un libro totalmente cautivador, tan repleto de ideas ágiles y desopilantes, de opiniones contundentes y de disecciones afiladas de personajes y épocas que parece ideado para suscitar las más fecundas discusiones».The New Yorker «El entusiasmo, la generosidad y el singular punto de vista de Tarantino refuerzan sus argumentos, e incluso cuando derriba a sus héroes, lo hace por amor... inteligente y obsesivo, Tarantino es muy divertido y difícil de superar».Publisher's Weekly
Meditation and Prayer
by Joel S. GoldsmithJoel Goldsmith was a Christian spiritual healer in the 20th century who repeatedly taught about the importance of prayer and meditation. Goldsmith explains that God is within us; we need merely try to make contact. If we believed that the "kingdom of God is within us," he says, "we should be willing to leave the world for a season, until such time as we could reach, touch, and respond to the Father within." This short pamphlet outlines Goldsmith's understanding of mediation and prayer.-Print ed.

Medium Hot: Images in The Age of Heat
by Hito SteyerlWHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE IMAGE IN THE AGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?Hito Steyerl is one of the most celebrated artists of our time. Her work, both as an artist and a writer, has consistently challenged the political boundaries between art and technology. In this new collection of groundbreaking essays, she explores how AI, the use of large language models and the algorithmic creation of imagery transform our understanding of the world. She argues that such practices cannot be divorced from the economic and political conditions of the times.Medium Hot is a collection of scintillating meditations on the limits of art and technology: the essential handbook for the present conjuncture. The pieces here probe the manufacture and distribution of images in the age of AI and climate change. She asks whether art can be made not only by machines but for machines. She argues against the production of images that heat up the planet, disfranchise workers and fuel the arms trade, and questions whether such creations can even be called art.In an era of such rapid change, Steyerl does vital work investigating whether machine learning will infiltrate every aspect of our lives and what that means for the future.
Medium of Instruction Policies: Which Agenda? Whose Agenda?
by James W. Tollefson Amy B. M. TsuiMedium of instruction policies in education have considerable impact not only on the school performance of students and the daily work of teachers, but also on various forms of social and economic (in)equality. In many multiethnic and multilingual countries, the choice of a language for the medium of instruction in state educational systems raises a fundamental and complex educational question: what combination of instruction in students' native language(s) and in a second language of wider communication will ensure that students gain both effective subject-content education, as well as the second-language skills necessary for higher education and employment? Beyond this educational issue of choice of language(s) of instruction, medium of instruction policies are also linked to a range of important sociopolitical issues, including globalization, migration, labor policy, elite competition, and the distribution of economic resources and political power. The contributors to this volume examine the tension between the educational agendas and other social and political agendas underlying medium of instruction policies in different countries around the world, and unravel the connections between these policies and the related, critically important educational, social, political, and economic issues. Medium of Instruction Policies: Which Agenda? Whose Agenda? is intended for scholars and specialists in education, language policy, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and language teaching, and is intended for use in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on language education and language policy.
Mediumism: A Philosophical Reconstruction of Modernism for Existential Learning
by René V. ArcillaMediumism considers what the modernist movement in the arts could mean for us today. It examines how artists and critics, particularly in the visual arts, responded to the growth of industries of distraction since the nineteenth century by creating new kinds of artworks that stress their mediums. René V. Arcilla draws out the metaphysical and ethical implications of the work of critics Clement Greenberg, T. J. Clark, and Michael Fried from a perspective rooted in existentialism. He finds in the resulting moral orientation a way to understand the distinctive purpose of liberal education and its political resistance to consumerism. Eschewing terminology that would be familiar to only one set of specialists, the book aims to be accessible to a general audience as well as to readers interested in modernist art, cultural politics, existentialist philosophy, and the philosophical principles of liberal education.
