  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

    THE COLLECTED WORKS OF BILLY THE KID PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Michael Ondaatje | 105 pages | 19 Mar 1996 | Random House USA Inc | 9780679767862 | English | New York, United States The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (Vintage International) | Remember the first time you heard: Billy, you're so far away from home. Never kicked it. Then he started to write -- he had to write. He wrote a collage: of poems and poem fragments, prose, documentary testimonies. It's uneven, a broken western sky. But we're at the point where only impressionists can write Billy, who here says, Blood a necklace on me all my life. This is a book where a dying man's last words are, indelibly, get away from me yer stupid chicken. They went to kill it, to put it out of its misery; but it jumped and fled. Ran under the house. Couldn't get it out, but imagined the pain. Billy said he'd kill him. You should read this to find out how. If you want to know. And yet, Even though dead they buried him in leg irons. It's easy to be misunderstood. View all 8 comments. Aug 01, Khashayar Mohammadi rated it really liked it Shelves: poetry , idiosyncratic , canadian.

  • Unexpected Treasures in New Mexico: Can You Dig
    VOLUME 40, ISSUE 2 SUMMER 2015 Unexpected Treasures in New Mexico: Can You Dig It? 2015 NMAM ANNUAL CONFERENCE in CARLSBAD Nov 18-21, 2015 When thinking of Carlsbad, NM the first thing that comes to mind for most visitors is, of course, Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Hidden beneath the rugged desert terrain are more than 117 caves, with Carlsbad Caverns considered among the most beautiful in the world. But Carlsbad has many other unexpected treasures to share with those exploring this fascinating area in the Chihuahuan Desert. Did you know that a river runs through it? Many visitors are surprised to learn that the Pecos River runs through the city, home to various water sports and recreational activities. It is this beautiful treasure that will form the backdrop for the NMAM Conference 2015! “Grazing in the grass is a gas, baby can you dig it?” are the lyrics from a 1969 hit by the American band managed by football great Jim Brown, the “Friends of Distinction.” It was that song that really pushed the phrase “Can you dig it?” into the American consciousness. NMAM plays off that hit by featuring several speakers or thought leaders that conference organizers fondly termed “Friends of Distinction” – a local treasure trove of professional prowess that sprung from this oasis in the desert through the years. A view of the Pecos River and the historic Cavern Theater. Photos courtesy Preconference offerings include remarkable journeys into the of the City of Carlsbad. Chihuahuan Desert for either a geologic walk through Carlsbad’s human history or an illustration of developing an interpretive tour using a multi-abilities trek into Carlsbad Caverns as paradigm.

More than one bold pursuer bit the dust in these encounters, and a price was offered for the bodies of the outlaws, dead or alive. It has been stated by newspaper correspondents that the Kid killed McClosky. Average rating 4. All this was accomplished in the time it takes to relate it. His face was oval in form, the most noticeable feature being two projecting upper front teeth, which knowing newspaper correspondents, who never saw the man nor the scenes of his adventures, describe as "fangs which gave to his features an intensely cruel and murderous expression. They took the back track a short distance, when, finding a tolerable place of concealment for their animals, they halted. It is also true that she requested permission to return for some purpose, the firing ceased—she went bravely in—returned almost immediately, and the firing was resumed. You see, Billy the Kid was still wanted for murder and was condemned to hang. Some compelling evidence supporting the claim that Pat Garret never killed the Kid. If you meet that crowd, please say to them that they are welcome to the horses, but I shall be there when they receive them, and shall insist that they take Old Gray and some other horses along, as well as me and a few choice friends.

  • Reading Billy: Memory, Time, and Subjectivity in the Collected Works of Billy the Kid
    Reading Billy: Memory, Time, and Subjectivity in The Collected Works of Billy the Kid KATHLEEN I. BETHELL ICHAEL ONDAATJE’S 1970 volume, The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (hereafter abbreviated CW) is a rewarding, if M not an easy, read. Temporal and narrative uncertainties domi- nate the seemingly haphazard collection of documentary scraps, poetic fragments, and disconnected memories that comprise the text. The scrap- book-like qualities of CW invite its reading as a type of commonplace book; indeed, one might read it as a thematic precursor to those that figure promi- nently in Ondaatje’s later novel, The English Patient. Like Almásy’s volume of Herodotus, in which clues to a present identity are pasted into a bound volume of the recorded past (96),1 the juxtaposition of fragments in CW also suggests a present moment interleaved with records from a legendary past. Ondaatje repeatedly returns to problems of the intersection of iden- tity and memory with historiography (which for my purposes here includes biography and autobiography); his work consistently questions how one should read or write the remnants of the past. The fragmentary, randomly gathered textual elements that allow CW to be read as a type of commonplace book recur in thematic form in Ondaatje’s later prose fictions, most notably The English Patient and Anil’s Ghost. Identity in Ondaatje’s work is less a matter of self-fashioned subjec- tivity than of continuously composed legend constituted by an accretion of external readings that have occurred and continue to occur synchronically, through time. In CW, as in much of Ondaatje’s work, identity loses dia- chronic stability with each historical, critical, or reminiscently interpretive reading.
