Futurism
.... represents a striding towards the future. This is accomplished by rejecting all of the past, even going as far as saying that it is harmful. Marinetti instructs his followers to “destroy the museums, libraries, [and] academies of every kind” (Apollonio 22). He explains that it is damaging for an artist to daily visit museums, libraries, and academies, calling them “cemeteries of empty exertion, Calvaries of crucified dreams, registries of aborted beginnings!” (Apollonio 23).

GI JANE
.... to open up nurse specialists and assignments to women in the armed forces. The policy means that women will no longer be excluded from military specialists simpily because the jobs are dangerous. It opened up combat aircraft to women. It instructed the Navy to open additional ships to women. In November Congress signed legislation repealing the law barring women from serving on combat ships.
In the film Senator Dehaven was pushing the military to accept females in all possibiile military positions .....

Generation Ecstacy
.... the avoidance of personality and narrative in favor of sensation—he comes up with a portrait of hi-tech millennium that resonates well beyond its subculture confines.
There are those who might find a book to analyze music that often aims for the effect of a sledgehammer to the head a mite pretentious. Yet the radicalism of dance music lies precisely in it's "meaninglessness," which, paradoxically, requires intellectualization in order to get at its significance. This problem is particularly acu .....

Georg Handel
.... first opera, Almira. It was not until January 8, 1705 that Almira premiered. From 1706 until approximately 1710, Handel composed 100 chamber cantatas while living in Italy. Some of these cantatas were composed while Handel was employed as a household musician to Marchese Francisco Maria di Ruspoli during a sixth month span in 1707. These cantatas were composed for meetings of the Arcadian Academy.
In 1710 Handel became the director of music for the elector of Hanover. Handel then took a position .....

Gothic Architecture
.... artistic approach. Gothic cathedrals have many more
buttresses than Romanesque cathedrals. Gothic cathedrals
were also designed with statues and sculptures on them such
as the gargoyle, which also served as a rain spout.
Romanesque cathedrals had few windows, as the walls of the
cathedrals were very thick and made the placement of
windows extremely difficult. This lack of light seemed also to
project the general mentality and lifestyles .....

The development of proto-Romanesque in the Ottonian period culminated in
the true Romanesque style represented by five magnificent churches on
the international pilgrimage routes leading from central France to the
reputed tomb of St. James at Santiago de Compostela in Spain:

Greek Goddesses
.... women.
The sister and also wife of Zeus, the king of the gods, Hera may be the most well known
of the goddesses. The Titans of the Ocean along with the Tethys raised Hera ( Hamilton
28 ). Most people knew Ilithyia , Hera’s daughter, for her help of women through
childbirth. Hera held the city of Argos sacred along with the peacock and cow. In Roman
mythology, the name of Hera was changed to Juno, queen of goddesses ( Pinset 20 ).
Artemis, or Diana in Roman mytholog .....

Greek Theater 2

The audience sat at a considerable distance from the orchestra and looked down on the performance. Although the amount of detail perceived was limited, they often were drawn into the play and became characters themselves. " The action has spilled over from the orchestra to the auditorium to embrace the whole community, players and public alike" .....

Greek Mythology And Religion
.... myth as a proper way of knowing reality.
The distinctions between reason and myth and between myth and history, although essential, were never quite absolute. Aristotle concluded that in some of the early Greek creation myths, logos and mythos overlapped. Plato used myths as metaphors and also as literary devices in developing an argument.
Western Mythical Traditions
The debate over whether myth, reason, or history best expresses the meaning of the reality of the gods, humans, and nature has con .....

Ideal Nude
.... with FIG 2-1, (taken out of a womens fashion magazine). The poses are very similar, I feel that this classical type of pose is still recognised to portray the female as confident. It is interesting to note Picasso has not included pubic hair on the women, this could be recognised as innocence, (where as pubic hair is portrayed as sexual dominance/power).
Greeks created the natural human image in art, their statues consisted of highly detailed and realistic figures. The Greeks made their ‘ideal’ male .....

Inherit The Wind
.... The judge believed the actions of Drummond to be
highly unorthodox and claimed to have never known a prosecuting attorney to be called as a
witness. Brady agreed replying, “Your Honor, this entire trial is unorthodox. If the interests of
Right and Justice will be served, I will take the stand.” (page 75) Brady, at times, can be quite
ignorant and the decision he made to take the witness stand proved it. Brady did not know how
much Drummond knew about the Bible but instead he believed all the .....

Interplay Between Fantasy And Reality In The Gothic
.... version of The Shining and Wes Craven's modern gothic film The People Under the Stairs.
The most obvious use of the fantasy/reality interface in gothic fiction is the fact that the fantasy almost always exists within the reality. On a basic level this means that the stereotypical gothic castle where the story ( a fantasy ) unfolds is always in a real place. Dracula is fantasy but takes place in the "real world", The Overlook Hotel and the things that go on there in The Shining are pure gothic .....

Its A Good Thing Harry Met Sally
.... as the characters are real and funny. Crystal is a very humorous fellow, portraying his character as a talkative, intelligent and likable person, and Ryan portrays her character perfectly as a sweet, take-charge, and optimistic young woman. We laugh along, as Harry explains just why men and women can never really be friends, and the debate of whether or not sex can ruin a perfectly good friendship between a man and a woman. Harry obviously seems to think so, and Sally vehemently disagrees. Needl .....
