Book review: the hungry mind: the origins of curiosity in childhood
No full textCuriosity is vital, but it remains a surprisingly understudied characteristic. The Hungry Mind explores what curiosity is, how it can be measured, how it develops in childhood, and how it can be fostered in school. Inez von Weitershausen finds that although the reader might have come across some of the insights in this book elsewhere, the author does a brilliant job connecting a wide range of essential 20th century research on the development of children
View of the cloister at Mission Santa Inez, 1890
No full textPhotograph of a view of the cloister at Mission Santa Inez, 1890. The stucco on the walls of the cloister is deteriorating. Part of the wall on the adjoined building has deteriorated. A horse stands near the fence enclosing the front half of the cloister and part of the church (at right). Next to the church is a belfry. Chickens (or birds?) loiter on the ground near the cloister.; "Santa Inéz was the last mission built in Southern California. The only mission founded by Padre Estevan Tapes, it was dedicated to St. Agnes, a 13 year-old martyr who died in the fourth century. The mission was built too far from El Camino Real to become popular and too close to earthquake fault lines to last very long. After its destruction in the quake of 1812, a new church was finally dedicated in 1817 and the mission soon became home to California's first seminary. The mission fell into disrepair during secularization, but was never completely abandoned or parceled off." -- unknown author
Breaking the Frame
No full textRanging over the broad spectrum of contemporary literary and film theory, Breaking the Frame explores the different approaches to cinematic art that are offered by cognitive psychology, feminist theory, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. In this study Inez Hedges looks closely at films that challenge accepted norms in both form and content. The films discussed here, including Zazie, La Nuit de Varennes, and E.T., break out of conventional frames, upsetting our expectations about how films should look (the film frame) as well as how experience is usually organized by cine- matic works of art (the psychological or cognitive frame). Hedges focuses on two primary areas: the way that the structure of film texts guides the interpretations of the spectator (hermeneutics) and the way that films reflect social models (representation). Within the hermeneutic approach, the author relates the unconventional use of film language in cinematic works of the 1960s and 1970s not only to the recent novels of Beckett and Queneau and to the French nouveau roman but also to one of the founding texts of Western literature, the Oedipus Rex of Sophocles. The discussion of representation exam- ines the social ascendancy of cinematic narrative in modern times in the light of the philosophical insights of Michel Foucault and Harold Bloom. Finally, contemporary feminist and psychoanalytic theories are brought to bear on cinematic representations of gender. Breaking the Frame will be of interest not only to scholars and students of film and literature but also to today's "filmliterate" public who enjoy exploring the theoretical and philosophical implications of cinematic works
