Deleuze and Cinema: The Aesthetics of Sensation
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Film theory has for so long focused on sociological, empirical, and psychoanalytic approaches that aesthetic sensibilities seem to have been forgotten. This book puts the emphasis back on film as an art form. Through discussions of Orlando, The English Patient, Romeo and Juliet, Strange Days, and Leon, the book offers a new and creative collusion between Deleuzian philosophy -- specifically Deleuze's ideas about desire, pleasure, sensation, affect, and "becoming-woman" -- and contemporary...more

On Rhetoric: A Theory of Civil Discourse
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-03 Summary: Great footnotes ... The footnotes on this text are great. A lot of the wording can be heavy for a first read-through of Aristotle, and Kennedy does his best to make Aristotle more accessible to people who are new to Rhetoric. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2001-02-01 Summary: relevant even today! ... Aristotle is amazing in his insight into the human nature. "Aristotle on rhetoric" focuses on what people like, how to talk to them, and how to act around them. However, be forewarned that the reading is not light, many hours can be spent on each chapter. If you are interested in finding out that people are the same today as they were in ancient Greece, read this book! ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Theories of rhetoric initially emerged in Greece in the fifth century B.C. with the realization that in a democracy all citizens had a right and duty to participate in their own government. Aristotle's Rhetoric was the first, systematic study of civic discourse. But this classic text has not benefited from a new translation in sixty years. Now, George A. Kennedy, a leading scholar of classics and communications, has provided an up-to-date, lucid translation which will make the Rhetoric...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-20 Summary: Information-packed ... The dictionary is compact and informative. Although an apter title would be "Oxford Concise Dictionary of Classical Music". I cannot find "punk'" in it. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2003-04-24 Summary: An indispensible guide ... A comprehensive, well-organized volume that covers composers, compositions, periods and styles, terminology (though I must agree with another reviewer--this really needs a pronunciation guide for some of the more difficult names and terms), instruments, vocalists, cultural context, and more. Major composers get more attention, with longer bios and more detailed entries, though the entries for some of the more notable people (such as George Gershwin) come up a little short in detailing their impact and significance. ...more
