The Dark Side of Creativity - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Dark Side of Creativity - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

With few exceptions, scholarship on creativity has focused on its positive aspects while largely ignoring its dark side. This includes not only creativity deliberately aimed at hurting others, such as crime or terrorism, or at gaining unfair advantages, but also the accidental negative side effects of well-intentioned acts. This book brings together essays written by experts from various fields (psychology, criminal justice, sociology, engineering, education, history, and design) and with different interests (personality development, mental health, deviant behavior, law enforcement, and counter-terrorism) to illustrate the nature of negative creativity, examine its variants, call attention to its dangers, and draw conclusions about how to prevent it or protect society from its effects.

This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

F. Scott Fitzgerald''s This Side of Paradise is the opening statement of his literary career. Published originally in 1920, the novel captures the rhythm and feel of the gaudy decade that was to follow in America. This Side of Paradise made Fitzgerald simultaneously famous and infamous: famous for the stylish exuberance of his writing and infamous for the errors – in spelling, fact, grammar and chronology – that peppered his text. This authoritative critical edition offers an accurate, fully annotated text based on Fitzgerald''s original manuscript, explanatory notes, textual apparatus and appendices.

The Cambridge Companion to West Side Story - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Companion to West Side Story - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Over sixty years after its opening night, West Side Story is perhaps the most famous and beloved of twentieth-century musicals and stands as a colossus of musical and dramatic achievement. It not only helped define a generation of musical theatre lovers but is among the handful of shows that have contributed to our understanding of American musical identity at mid-century. Bringing together contemporary scholars in music, theatre, dance, literature, and performance, this Companion explores this explosive 1950s remake of Shakespeare''s Romeo and Juliet and its portrayal of the raw passion, rivalries, jealousy and rage that doom the young lovers to their tragic fate. Organised thematically, chapters range from Broadway''s history and precursors to West Side Story; the early careers of its creators; the show''s score with emphasis on writing, production, and orchestrations; issues of class, colourism, and racism; New York''s gang culture, and how the show''s legacy can be found in popular culture throughout the world.

West Side Story in Spain - Paul R. Laird - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

West Side Story in Spain - Paul R. Laird - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

West Side Story first became famous in Spain when the Robert Wise film opened there in 1962, the version remaining popular for decades. Brief international tours came to various cities in Spain in the 1980s, but their presence did not diminish memory of the film, which played a major influence on the country''s first stage adaptation of the show in 1996. Directed by Ricard Reguant and produced in Barcelona by Focus, the production also toured. After another international tour played in three Spanish cities in summer 2009, the Madrid company SOM Produce mounted a rendition in 2018 directed and choreographed by Federico Barrios, the first Spanish stage version based on the original 1957 staging. This Element compares the adaptations of the 1996 and 2018 versions in detail, illuminating issues encountered when translating a musical for another culture.

Confronting the Internet's Dark Side - Raphael Cohen Almagor - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Confronting the Internet's Dark Side - Raphael Cohen Almagor - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Terrorism, cyberbullying, child pornography, hate speech, cybercrime: along with unprecedented advancements in productivity and engagement, the Internet has ushered in a space for violent, hateful, and antisocial behavior. How do we, as individuals and as a society, protect against dangerous expressions online? Confronting the Internet''s Dark Side is the first book on social responsibility on the Internet. It aims to strike a balance between the free speech principle and the responsibilities of the individual, corporation, state, and the international community. This book brings a global perspective to the analysis of some of the most troubling uses of the Internet. It urges net users, ISPs, and liberal democracies to weigh freedom and security, finding the golden mean between unlimited license and moral responsibility. This judgment is necessary to uphold the very liberal democratic values that gave rise to the Internet and that are threatened by an unbridled use of technology.
