Marc Shapiro, Bukowski: On Film.
No full textMarc Shapiro’s latest writing feat aims to shed light on the complicated relationship between the iconic American author Charles Bukowski and the American movie industry. Shapiro is known to the American readership through his numerous celebrity biographies of artists, authors, musicians, and even politicians. Driven by his own admiration for Bukowski, he coins the term “Bukowskiphile” to describe himself in the opening pages of the book. Shapiro draws information from a wide variety of sour..
Allegories of Branding:How to Successfully Fail Charles Bukowski
No full textThe American author Charles Bukowski (1904-1984) has become an authorial brand – that is, a complex symbol that projects a set of associations onto commercial products. This brand emerges from interactions between the fields of creation, production, and reception. Bukowski himself fuelled this interaction by constructing a recognizable, albeit contradictory public figure: that of the successful loser. Focusing on the Dutch reception of Bukowski as a case study, I demonstrate how cultural producers and suppliers capitalize on this figure, invoking it to suggest that their products allow consumers to partake in the Bukowskian lifestyle. However, the contradictions inherent in the persona of the successful loser subvert this process. As a consequence, instances of Bukowskian branding appear as normative failures, as their very success belies the values associated with the author

No full textAirborne mineral dust has dilatant influences on the atmosphere and local environment: dust aerosols function as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, interact with radiation, fertilize maritime ecosystems, and are harmful to the human respiratory system. In arid regions, dust storms can loft an enormous amount of dust particles into the atmosphere and reduce visibility to near zero. In particular, the Arabian Peninsula reports frequent severe dust outbreaks as a result of strong surface winds, forced either by synoptic dynamics or mesoscale downdrafts, known as haboobs. Current forecast and climate models are run at high enough resolution to simulate synoptic events but still employ convective parameterizations, which are incapable of resolving many mesoscale processes. As such, the prediction of dust storms, specifically the location and timing of haboobs, remains a significant forecasting challenge. To understand the uncertainty introduced in the location and concentration of mineral dust via the use of convective parameterizations, the ratio of convective to non-convective dust events must first be established.
This study seeks to identify the origins of regional dust events across the Arabian Peninsula and quantify the relative contributions of synoptic versus mesoscale dust lofting. Here, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) is used to simulate a 2016 summertime dust outbreak over the Arabian Peninsula. Several coarse grid simulations with various convective parameterizations are compared against the same runs with the convective parameterizations turned off, leaving only synoptic sources of dust lofting. These results are then contrasted against a fine grid simulation with resolved convection. For simulations including convection, the inception of individual dust plumes is separated into convective and non-convective source categories. Dust concentrations based on origin are then analyzed with respect to total domain dust abundance as well as horizontal and vertical extent. Results suggest that convective dust lofting over the Arabian Peninsula is a substantial source of dust to the atmosphere, and concentrations differ between simulations with convective parameterizations and those explicitly resolving convection
Charles Bukowski, outsider literature, and the Beat movement /
No full textThis book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider. Clements considers the complexities, ambiguities, and contradictions represented by the author and his work, exploring Bukowskis visceral writing of the cultural ordinary and everyday self-narrative. The study considers Bukowskis apolitical, gendered, and working-class stance to understand how the writer represents reality and is represented with regards to counter-cultural literature. In addition, Clements provides a broader socio-cultural focus that evaluates counterculture in relation to the American beat movement and mythology, highlighting the male cool anti-hero. The cultural practices and discourses utilized to situate Bukowski include the individual and society, outsiderdom, cult celebrity, fan embodiment, and disneyfication, providing a greater understanding of the beat generation and counterculture literature.First published 2013.This book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider.

Tradução dos contos Cacoethes scribendi e A razão por trás da razão, de Charles Bukowski
No full textIn this paper we present two translation’s proposals to Portuguese of the short stories Cacoethes Scribendi and The Reason Behind Reason, from the book Absence of the Hero written by Charles Bukowski. In first place, we present Charles Bukowski as a poet and writer and his literary work published in Brazil. After that, some selected aspects about the translation process of the texts from Bukowski and a brief analysis from the two short stories translated are discussed. Bukowski provided autobiographical data for his productions, therefore by analyzing the two short stories from the book Absence of the Hero we also intended to trace the links between the character’s representation and the personality of the author. There are many elements ofhis own life disguised by fiction content that aims at creating a picaresque character to his novels. Besides discussing crucial aspects regarding the author and theautobiographical content of his writings, we explain the translation process of the two short stories that are still not published in Portuguese.No presente artigo são apresentadas duas propostas de tradução para o português dos contos Cacoethes Scribendi e The Reason Behind Reason, do livro Absence of the Hero, de Charles Bukowski. Primeiramente, busca-se se apresentar o poeta e escritor Charles Bukowski e situar temporalmente suas publicações traduzidas no Brasil. Procura-se discutir alguns aspectos particulares sobre a tradução das obras desse autor, bem como, trazer uma breve análise sobre os dois contos traduzidos. Por ser Bukowski um autor que, comprovadamente, trazia dados autobiográficos para as suas produções, ao analisar os dois contos do livro Absence of the Hero pretende-se também traçar essas ligações entre a representação do personagem que se espelha em traços da personalidade do autor. Bukowski colocou em seus romances elementos de sua vida encobertos por certo teor de ficção a fim de criar um personagem picaresco para o leitor, esses elementos são descritos ao longo de seus trabalhos. Além de trazer uma discussão sobre o autor e o teor autobiográfico de sua obra, são discutidos alguns caminhos tradutórios traçados para a tradução desses dois contos que ainda não possuem traduções publicadas em português
« Writing into a Void » : Charles Bukowski and the Little Magazines
No full textThe little magazines were instrumental in turning Charles Bukowski into a hugely popular figure in American letters and, yet, their significance in Bukowski’s early career has been largely overlooked. For Bukowski, the little magazines were the ideal outlet for his prolific output, and their editors, who saw him as a spiritual leader, championed his work so vehemently that he eventually became the most published author of the 1960s––his indisputable rise to fame in the alternative literary scene is displayed in the graphs provided. Bukowski’s position was ambiguous: he needed those periodicals to satisfy his hunger for exposure and recognition and, yet, he attacked their editors for their allegedly unskillful productions, especially in the case of the mimeographs. This previously uncharted territory is illustrated by means of a critical and historical journey through the main magazines of the period, stressing how zealously they published Bukowski’s work and helped him become an international icon

Charles Bukowski düzyazısının Bakhtın'ın karnavallaşmış edebi türler kavramı doğrultusunda incelenmesi
No full textBu tez Charles Bukowski düzyazısının, Rus edebiyat kuramcısı Mikhail Mikha?lovich Bakhtin tarafından karnavallaşmış türler diye tanımlanan edebi türlere olan özdeşliğinin incelenmesidir. Bakhtin eski Yunan'dan 19. yy Rusya'sına kadar incelemiş olduğu bu karnavallaşmış türlerin bir edebi kalıtımdan yararlanarak sürekli yenilendiklerini ileri sürmektedir. Genel anlamda Bakhtin'in kuramı, karnaval ritüellerinin gayrı resmi doğasından esinlenen bu edebi türlerin, karnavallara benzer bir şekilde, gayrı resmi ve alternatif biçimler altında kendilerini ifade ettikleri düşüncesi üzerine kurulmuştur. Karnavallaşmış türler, folklorik temaların tahrip gücünden kendi edebi stilleri lehine yaralanarak, ana-akım edebiyat anlayışının yazar odaklı, otoriter yapısını ve tek taraflı ciddiyetini baş aşağı etme gayreti içerisindedirler. Karnaval zamanlarında, alt ve üst sınıfların birbiriyle kaynaşması sonucunda ortaya çıkan kozmopolit yapı ise edebi yansımasını romanda, bütün karakterlerin söz sahibi olmasını izin veren bir diyalojizm olarak bulur. Bu tez, Bukowski düz yazısının da Bakhtin'in kuramsallaştırdığı bu karnavalesk öğeleri taşıdığı iddiasındadır.This thesis examines the consubstantiality of Charles Bukowski?s prose with the literary sorts which are defined as carnivalized genres by Russian literary theorist Mikhail Mikha?lovich Bakhtin. Bakhtin maintains that those genres, which he scrutinizes from ancient Greece to 19th century?s Russia, constantly regenerate by utilizing a literary heritage. In its general meaning Bakhtin?s theory is based on an idea that those literary genres, which are inspired by the unofficial nature of carnival rituals, express themselves in a similar way to carnivals, under some alternative forms. Carnivalized genres, utilizing the subversive energies of those folkloric themes for the benefit of their literary styles, attempt to subvert the author-based, authoritarian one-sided seriousness of the main stream literature conceptions. On the other hand the cosmopolitan structure, which occurs as a result of a fusion of lower and upper classes during carnival times, finds its literary reflection as dialogism in novel; which enables all the characters to have their own voices. This thesis asserts that Charles Bukowski?s prose also bears those carnivalesque items that Bakhtin conceptualizes
