Comings And Goings

Comings and Goings is the first book to connect the study of student life with both the history of the Canadian University as a whole and the role of the university as a career-training institution.

A transplanted American, Declan Rowe, who arrives in Carack having inherited his uncle's cottage and farmland, is only one of several recent arrivals to this rural hamlet on the Dingle Peninsula. A young couple, Garret and Alice Lowry, from Dublin, who have purchased the long vacant Moony Apothecary building, are transforming it into the hamlet's second pub and restaurant to the consternation of Sean O'Malley, the owner of O'Malley's Pub. Also arriving is the new doctor, Philip Warren, who sadly is replacing the community's beloved doctor, Alice Henry, who has taken an indefinite leave from her practice to explore another practice in Cork city. A number of amazing things are also happening, including the soon to open "Inn at Moore's Point", a restaurant and tourist development that will be hiring only residents of the hamlet and surrounding area. The recent discovery of zinc and lead deposits on farmland in and around Carack area has attracted the interest of a large mining conglomerate from Europe which is discussing land purchases from several of the farmers. Amid all of this transitional excitement, and other developments, are the everyday travails of the inhabitants, which will keep the reader's interest throughout the tale.

This book examines the development of cinematic form and culture in Russia, from its late nineteenth-century beginnings as a fairground attraction to the early post-Revolutionary years. The author traces the changing perceptions of cinema and its social transition from a modernist invention to a national art form. He explores reactions to the earliest films from actors, novelists, poets, writers and journalists. His richly detailed study of the physical elements of cinematic performance includes the architecture and illumination of the cinema foyer, the speed of projection and film acoustics. In contrast to standard film histories, this book focuses on reflected images: rather than discussing films and film-makers, it features the historical film-goer and early writings on film. The book presents a vivid and changing picture of cinema culture in Russia in the twilight of the tsarist era and the first decades of the twentieth century. The study expands the whole context of reception studies and opens up questions about reception relevant to other national cinemas.

In this non literal series of exercises for actors, performers enter every ninety seconds or so to substitute (as in a basketball game). The enjoyment is in technique - pure virtuosity is required. Vignettes include a husband and wife eating breakfast in bed, a female bank robber and a woman who plays the God of Abraham.
