the future is wild torrent: Unlocking the Future Luo Xiaoming, 2023-04-28 The book highlights the urban imagination in contemporary Chinese science fiction, in order to assess the capacity of Chinese society to conceive of the future. The author argues that ‘the future’ is a set of directional and normative ideas that forms the basis of the entire social mobilization mechanism in China, while the capacity to imagine the future is likely to be produced in response to the present challenges. By discussing the urban space, the reconstruction of time, the infrastructure, and concepts of the 'urban-rural' and civilization in contemporary Chinese science fiction, she demonstrates how contemporary Chinese sci-fi may offer potential solutions to ways of ‘unlocking’ the future. In addition, she also points out the limitations of Chinese society’s imaginative vision of the future. The book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students of modern Chinese literature, science fiction studies, urban studies, or cultural studies. |

the future is wild torrent: A German deserter's war experience Anonymous, 2022-09-04 In the harrowing account 'A German deserter's war experience,' Anonymous provides a profound and gritty portrayal of the First World War, seen through the eyes of a German soldier who has chosen to desert. The narrative, submerged in realist tradition, eschews the glorification of war, offering instead a stark and sobering depiction of the emotional and physical toll it exacts on individuals. Anonymity adds a layer of universality, making the story not just a personal confession but a vessel carrying the weight of collective disillusionment. This edition by DigiCat Publishing revives the text with meticulous attention, ensuring that the raw literary energy of the original manuscript feeds into the contemporary hunger for historical authenticity and literary craftsmanship. The unnamed author's voice resonates with the intimate knowledge of the trenches, painting a picture that suggests a deeply personal connection to the soldier's plight. The author's decision to remain anonymous may well speak to the broader cultural and political peril of dissenting voices at the time of the book's conception. This silence amplifies the text's authenticity, suggesting it pulses with truths that were perhaps too perilous to share with an attribution, aligning with DigiCat Publishing's mission to preserve the words that comprise humanity's shared legacy. Lovers of history and seekers of truth will find 'A German deserter's war experience' a compelling and necessary read. The book serves not only as a powerful testament to the horrors of war but also as a reminder of the enduring human spirit that persists despite the depths of despair. This edition, presented with reverence and care, beckons to be experienced by readers yearning to comprehend the complex tapestry of war's impact on the human condition - scholars, history enthusiasts, and literary connoisseurs alike will find within its pages a sobering and enriching exploration of the past that reverberates with implications for the present and the future. |

the future is wild torrent: An Amorous History of the Silver Screen Zhang Zhen, 2005 Shanghai in the early twentieth century was alive with art and culture. With the proliferation of popular genres such as the martial arts film, the contest among various modernist filmmakers, and the advent of sound, Chinese cinema was transforming urban life. But with the Japanese invasion in 1937, all of this came to a screeching halt. Until recently, the political establishment has discouraged comprehensive studies of the cultural phenomenon of early Chinese film, and this momentous chapter in China's history has remained largely unexamined. The first sustained historical study of the emergence of cinema in China, An Amorous History of the Silver Screen is a fascinating narrative that illustrates the immense cultural significance of film and its power as a vehicle for social change. Named after a major feature film on the making of Chinese cinema, only part of which survives, An Amorous History of the Silver Screen reveals the intricacies of this cultural movement and explores its connections to other art forms such as photography, architecture, drama, and literature. In light of original archival research, Zhang Zhen examines previously unstudied films and expands the important discussion of how they modeled modern social structures and gender roles in early twentieth-century China. The first volume in the new and groundbreaking series Cinema and Modernity, An Amorous History of the Silver Screen is an innovative—and well illustrated—look at the cultural history of Chinese modernity through the lens of this seminal moment in Shanghai cinema. |

the future is wild torrent: Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men Jeffrey Hummel, 2013-11-18 This book combines a sweeping narrative of the Civil War with a bold new look at the war’s significance for American society. Professor Hummel sees the Civil War as America’s turning point: simultaneously the culmination and repudiation of the American revolution. While the chapters tell the story of the Civil War and discuss the issues raised in readable prose, each chapter is followed by a detailed bibliographical essay, looking at all the different major works on the subject, with their varying ideological viewpoints and conclusions. In his economic analysis of slavery, Professor Hummel takes a different view than the two major poles which have determined past discussions of the topic. While some writers claim that slavery was unprofitable and harmful to the Southern economy, and others maintain it was profitable and efficient for the South, Hummel uses the economic concept of Deadweight Loss to show that slavery was both highly profitable for slave owners and harmful to Southern economic development. While highly critical of Confederate policy, Hummel argues that the war was fought to prevent secession, not to end slavery, and that preservation of the Union was not necessary to end slavery: the North could have let the South secede peacefully, and slavery would still have been quickly terminated. Part of Hummel’s argument is that the South crucially relied on the Northern states to return runaway slaves to their owners. This new edition has a substantial new introduction by the author, correcting and supplementing the account given in the first edition (the major revision is an increase in the estimate of total casualties) and a foreword by John Majewski, a rising star of Civil War studies. |
