| the portable film school: Everyday Movies Haidee Wasson, 2020-11-10 Everyday Movies documents the twentieth-century rise of portable film projectors. It demonstrates that since World War II, the vast majority of movie-watching did not happen in the glow of the large screen but rather took place alongside the glitches, distortions, and clickety-clack of small machines that transformed home, classroom, museum, community, government, industrial, and military venues into sites of moving-image display. Reorienting the history of cinema away from the magic of the movie theater, Haidee Wasson illustrates the remarkable persistence and proliferation of devices that fundamentally rejected the sleek, highly professionalized film show. She foregrounds instead another kind of apparatus, one that was accessible, affordable, adaptable, easy to use, and crucially, programmable. Revealing rich archival discoveries, this book charts a compelling and original history of film that brings to light new technologies and diverse forms of media engagement that continue to shape contemporary life. |

| the portable film school: The Portable American Realism Reader Various, 1997-12-01 During the pivotal period of America's international emergence, between the Civil War and WWI, the aligned literary movements of Realism and Naturalism not only shaped the national literature of the age, but also left an indelible and far-reaching influence on twentieth-century American and world literature. Seeking to strip narrative from pious sentimentalities, and, according to William Dean Howells, to paint life as it is, and human feelings in their true proportion and relation, Realism is best represented by this volume's masterly pieces by Twain, Henry James, Stephen Crane, Kate Chopin, and Willa Cather among others. The joining of Realist methods with the theories of Marx, Darwin, and Spencer to reveal the larger forces (biological, evolutionary, historical) which move humankind, are exemplified here in the fiction of such writers as Jack London, Frank Norris, and Theodore Dreiser. |

| the portable film school: The Portable Faulkner William Faulkner, 2003-02-25 “A real contribution to the study of Faulkner’s work.” —Edmund Wilson A Penguin Classic In prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity, William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and greed, futile nobility and obscene crimes.

| the portable film school: The Portable Conservative Reader Russell Kirk, 1982 The Portable Conservative Reader illuminates the meaning of the conservative cause. In one of the most wide-ranging and thoughtful anthologies of conservative thought in the English and American traditions, Russell Kirk excavates conservatism's foundations. The breadth of conservative writing reveals that, at bottom, the conservative idea is not an economic theory nor a political program but a penetrating way of looking at the human condition. Here, Kirk brings together a diverse group of thinkers and material - including essays, poetry, and fiction - that articulate the conservative imagination, its veneration of tradition, prudence, variety, and the enduring fallibility and imperfectibility of mankind. These selections set forth basic premises and principles at work in the minds of Edmund Burke, Benjamin Disraeli, and T. S. Eliot in Britain, Alexander Hamilton, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Adams, and Irving Kristol in America, and many more who have elucidated this turn of mind. This balanced and surprising collection is a landmark study of the most potent political force of our time. |
| the portable film school: The Escape of Giant 647 D B Gilles, 2021-12-12 17-year-old Juliet Pine is one of three teens in a single-engine plane on their way to a summer internship, six weeks before starting college. While flying over a huge, private nature reserve in upstate New York, the pilot has a heart attack, loses control and crashes into the treetops. Juliet, knocked unconscious, is the only survivor. When she comes to, someone is trying to rescue her. But when she realizes who it is, she's dumbfounded and terrified-- It's a 13-foot tall giant! His name is Damian, also 17. To her shock, he's intelligent and speaks perfect English. In fact, he speaks the King's English. After saving her, Damian takes her to the cave where he lives with his uncle (also a giant). He tells her she will be there for the rest of her life because the reserve is inescapable. This news devastates her. But Juliet is a determined young woman and she is hell-bent on finding a way to escape. What Juliet will learn is that she has crashed in a sanctuary controlled by the Catholic Church. It is where the last race of giants, who long ago populated the world, has been kept as prisoners for 150 plus years. Also living in the nature preserve are normal-sized people, each of whom got there by freak natural accidents or, like Juliet, in a plane crash. One of them, Trevor, craving a companion and lover, pursues her. Juliet takes an instant dislike to him, but she relates to Damian. He likes her too. Despite their sizes, they start to fall in love. Realizing how determined she is to escape, he tells her his secret -- he has found a way out, but he needs her help. He also tells her the origin story of the giants and reveals a secret that his mother told him. There's another place where giants live, in France. He wants to go there. She agrees to help him escape and within one week of her arrival, they make their break, only to be pursued by a man who is descended from generations of giant hunters. Will Juliet reclaim her life? Will Damian escape and get to France? |
