Book Description

This bountiful book is a comprehensive guide to the thousands of films, DVDs, and videocasettes featuring operas and opera singers from 1896 to the present. From ABC Television to Franco Zeffirelli, the encyclopedia is a storehouse of fascinating information for film and opera aficionados and casual browsers alike. Find answers to such questions as: * What were the first operas filmed? * Why did they make silent films of operas? * Why was a pseudo-opera written for Citizen Kane? * What was Maria Callas' only film? Organized alphabetically with more than 1900 fully cross-referenced entries, the book casts a wide net that covers not only expected topics-operas, operettas, zarzuelas, composers, singers, conductors, writers, and film directors-but also the unexpected and offbeat--animated opera, first operas on film, puppet opera films, silent films about opera, and many other lesser-known topics. The Encyclopedia of Opera on Screen illuminates the many intersections between opera and film as never before.

Book Description

As long as there has been culture, there has been counterculture. At times it moves deep below the surface of things, a stealth mode of being all but invisible to the dominant paradigm; at other times it’s in plain sight, challenging the status quo; and at still other times it erupts in a fiery burst of creative–or destructive–energy to change the world forever.

But until now the countercultural phenomenon has been one of history’s great blind spots. Individual countercultures have been explored, but never before has a book set out to demonstrate the recurring nature of counterculturalism across all times and societies, and to illustrate its dynamic role in the continuous evolution of human values and cultures.

Countercultural pundit and cyberguru R. U. Sirius brilliantly sets the record straight in this colorful, anecdotal, and wide-ranging study based on ideas developed by the late Timothy Leary with Dan Joy. With a distinctive mix of scholarly erudition and gonzo passion, Sirius and Joy identify the distinguishing characteristics of countercultures, delving into history and myth to establish beyond doubt that, for all their surface differences, countercultures share important underlying principles: individualism, anti-authoritarianism, and a belief in the possibility of personal and social transformation.

Ranging from the Socratic counterculture of ancient Athens and the outsider movements of Judaism, which left indelible marks on Western culture, to the Taoist, Sufi, and Zen Buddhist countercultures, which were equally influential in the East, to the famous countercultural moments of the last century–Paris in the twenties, Haight-Ashbury in the sixties, Tropicalismo, women’s liberation, punk rock–to the cutting-edge countercultures of the twenty-first century, which combine science, art, music, technology, politics, and religion in astonishing (and sometimes disturbing) new ways, Counterculture Through the Ages is an indispensable guidebook to where we’ve been . . . and where we’re going.

Goffman indwells the dimensions traversed by the likes of Phil Dick, R. A. Wilson, Reverend Bob, Ken Kesey, Greil Marcus, Andrew Weil, Nareem Caroli Babi, und so weiter. From whence, like a character from Louis Carroll transmogrified by DMtation, this Prophetic, marvelous, incisive, incendiary, supersonic Howl holds forth the shining tool of The Fool, a timeless voice proclaiming: IT. IS. TIME.

Apart from that, Ken's a great guy, knows a lotta stuff, and knows what it all counts for. Siriusly.

"Ken Goffman (R.U. Sirius) constructs the metaphysical brain of a drug fetus in this abolition world. COUNTERCULTURE THROUGH THE AGES installs the podcast-mind to the broken modem=cardiac of a chemical=anthropoid." - Kenji Siratori, author of Blood Electric

5 out of 5 stars It's hip, hip. Hooray!.......2005-09-28

Alternative aficionados, hoist your flagons, pass your joints, heave your Molotov cocktails and give cheer! CCttA fills a vacuum you've always suspected existed but were too busy having sex, drugs and rock & roll to notice. Former underground historians have focused on only one era, one counterculture. Goffman/Day begin at the beginnings: Prometheus, Abraham, Socrates. They pay obeisance to heterodox religions--taoism, zen Buddhism, Sufism (where's tantra?). They execute a mad, four-chapter dash through a millenium or so--the Troubadours, the Enlightenment and American and French revolutions, the Transcendentalists, Parisian bohemians. Finally they get down close to home with the efflourescing rebel movements of the past half-century: beatniks, rock & roll, hippies, women's lib, punk, cyberpunk, the New Age, raves, hip-hop, hackers, environmentalism.
And just what is a counterculture, anyway? Sifting through their subjects from Alcibiades to the Zapatistas, the authors extract three central traits shared by them all: they're adamantly anti-authoritarian; they're iconoclastically individualistic; and they espouse lofty visions of personal and/or societal transformation.
We expect a history to be thoughtful and thoroughy researched, and CC fills the bill. We hope for--but seldom get--a history as anecdotally rich, as entertaining and enthusiastic as this. Pity poor James Joyce, despairing after nine consecutive women quit typing his manuscript of Ulysses in sexual huffs, "and one even threatened to throw herself out the window." est founder Werner Erhard is "a mix of Giurdjieff, Hitler and a traveling salesman"; JFK on LSD an "altered statesman." John Lennon, listening to Chuck Berry and Elvis in 1957, "knew something was happening although he didn't yet know what it ws."
If you have a jones for underground tomes, Bogart this one.

5 out of 5 stars Very readable, informative look at a fascinating topic.......2005-09-13

This is a thoroughly enjoyable, intelligent and thought-provoking look at the phenomenon of countercultures through history. Ken Goffman (aka R.U. Sirius), without oversimplifying his subject, has a style that is very accessible and engaging. By necessity, as the authors (it is co-written by Dan Joy) admit, this is a brief and incomplete look at a vast topic, one that could fill an encyclopedia. Yet what is included here leaves the reader with a surprisingly comprehensive idea of what a counterculture is, how they have influenced history and interacted with mainstream cultures.

The authors start with ancient times, looking to Prometheus and Abraham as examples of early rebels, then go on to look at Taoists, Sufis, Zen masters and medieval troubadours (who are credited with providing a blueprint for our modern ideas about love and romance). This book is not, however, a mere cataloging of countercultural movements. It contains quite a bit of useful analysis, such as the internal contradictions that exist within many countercultures --for example, the authoritarian impulses that often arise within movements that are supposedly against authority; the rather puritanical tendencies of transcendentalists Thoreau and Emerson; the ever-present danger of "selling out" or having the movement absorbed by mainstream society.

R.U. Sirius has been at the center of the counterculture himself for the last few decades, especially the cyberpunk/futurist wing of it. Here he contrasts the Promethean vs. anti-Promethean strains that exist within countercultures. This debate, over whether technology is primarily a liberating or enslaving influence, is an example of how complex and theoretical this topic can get. I think that the authors of this work do a very good job at getting beyond the dogmas that often weigh down alternative thinkers and point the way towards a truly freer way to look at life.

4 out of 5 stars Why Be Normal?.......2005-01-26

Here Ken Goffman (apparently coauthor Dan Joy worked at the conceptual level only) has created a fast-moving and fascinating discussion of countercultures throughout history and what they have in common. The most interesting aspect of this book is the locating of ancient groups, like followers of Socrates and even the original Jews, that fit the modern definition of counterculture. Goffman even includes the Enlightenment thinkers of Europe, who even though they ended up being the establishment, definitely started out by countering the dominance and dogma of the Catholic Church. Goffman finds that these and modern countercultures, such as hippies and ravers, share an anti-authoritarian worldview and a love for individualism and nonconformity, which are central to the human condition in all regions, time periods, and political environments.

Unfortunately there are some problems with this book, inherent in the methods followed by Goffman and Joy. Goffman states in the introduction that it would be impossible to describe all the countercultures the world has ever seen, so representative examples have been chosen that most illustrate the basic arguments being advanced. This works reasonably well, to the extent described in the last paragraph, but still leads to a somewhat distracting sense of arbitrary and fragmented history. More specifically, the inevitable coverage of the hippie/new left movements of the 60s and 70s is highly politicized and personalized (not a problem for most of the rest of the book), and Goffman even accidentally says "we" a few times when describing the countercultural participants of that and the current era, damaging the observational integrity of some portions of the book.

On the writing side, Goffman has fun playing with the academic language that this kind of study engenders, and can sound funny (and purposefully ironic) when spewing professor-speak like "a complex exegesis would be required to do complete justice to this peculiar conundrum." But on the other hand, he is also prone to that same type of over-analysis, such as describing an off-hand onstage comment by Janis Joplin as "subvert[ing] the very division of time into discrete units." Goffman tends to make gigantic postmodern connections, such as 12th century French troubadours to Jefferson Airplane or Picasso's cubism to hip hop beats; he's prone to incessant name-dropping (see the index for dozens of names that appear on one page only); and he can't stop quoting Bob Dylan. Luckily, these pervasive flaws in method don't significantly damage the main points Goffman is making about countercultures, and his book is a fascinating treatise on those of us who will never be happy with normal conformity.

      5 out of 5 stars Excel for the beginner.......2007-08-14

      My son-in-law owns two gas stations and all of his records are on Excel spread sheets. I wanted to help him so I needed to learn how to operate the Excel sheets. He is running the older computers which have the 2003 version on them. I had to get a book about the 2003 version. I did buy this book and I read it from cover to cover. I was surprised at how much Excel could do. Once you learn the basics of Excel you can perform most of the functions in simple steps. You can do almost anything on a spread sheet. I kept going back to the book to look up procedures as I got into more complicated procedures. The book has a good table of contents. I even look up some of the words so I could better understand what the program required me to do to get the right results. Later I looked at the Microsoft manual for Excel. The manual has the same information but it seems more technical and it has a minimal table of contents. The Dummies book was more user friendly and it was easier to use as a reference to answer a simple question.

                5 out of 5 stars Just the facts!.......2007-07-13

                And the shortcuts too! I wanted a quick reference tool and this one is perfect for me. It has hundreds of well laid out commands, shortcuts, procedures and more! I won't have to fumble thru my large manual anymore when I need a quick fact. Plus it's laminated to last a long time. In addition I placed a large order from several suppliers and indicated 2 Day Shipping...Brainstorm Publishing was the only one who delivered on time. So am I happy? You bet!
