O interesse por esses assuntos é enorme nos dias de hoje. Um número cada vez maior de pessoas deseja ter conhecimentos aprofundados sobre o tema. Acredito que a sociedade evoluiu espiritualmente, a ponto de abandonar noções pré-concebidas e de abrir a mente para entender a verdade sobre o mundo que chama de espiritual. Quando o meu primeiro livro, Conversando com os espíritos, chegou ao topo da lista dos mais vendidos do jornal New York Times, em 1997, foi considerado um verdadeiro fenômeno editorial. Sua modesta tiragem de 6 mil exemplares subiu rapidamente para 600 mil nos dois meses seguintes. Atribuo o início desse sucesso à minha participação no programa de entrevistas Larry King Live, do canal CNN, no dia 13 de dezembro de 1997. Foi a primeira vez que um médium apareceu como convidado no programa de Larry e que mensagens vindas dos mortos foram transmitidas para uma audiência internacional. As linhas telefônicas ficaram congestionadas enquanto eu estava no ar, e as pessoas continuaram ligando dias depois da transmissão do programa.

  • Jose Alvarez

    Jose Alvarez

    Jose Alvarez THE KITCHEN In 1988, Jose Alvarez toured Australia channeling the spirit of “Carlos,” a 2,000-year-old shaman who held forth on Atlantis, “corrected” the date of Jesus’s birth, reported on the movements of UFOs, and divined other sundry matters before capacity crowds at the Sydney Opera House. In the voluble tradition of fundamentalist televangelists, healers, and cultish gurus of all stripes, Alvarez charismatically staged the visionary with the help of his mentor James Randi, himself a debunker of paranormal phenomena, who also appears in the recent video Dejeuner Sur Le Dish, 2007, playing chess with Carlos; besides conducting séances, Alvarez peddled vials of tears and potent crystals and proliferated his message via the mass media. But even stranger than Alvarez’s initial hoax was the fact that scores of people were persuaded by it. Indeed, so convincing was his act that its influence survived its debunking. In laying bare the structure of such presentations, Alvarez counterintuitively reaffirmed the possibility of conviction. Even though the aim of his deception was ultimately to enlighten, Carlos’s moral is that people believe against their better judgment in matters of both lesser and greater consequence. Taking this as axiomatic, Alvarez’s first New York solo exhibition, “The Visitors,” furthered his quasi-sociological research into mysticism and magic. Having quit live performance in favor of video and collage, in this show he expanded upon the promise of his earlier work through a range of media. Placed at the gallery’s vestibule, A Separate Reality, 2007, comments on the spectacle of the earlier communions— eventually executed in Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States, as documentary photographs of Alvarez in Italy and China installed alongside the monitor suggested as well—with Alvarez inhabiting the role of the medium and of the whistleblower in turn: Clips corroborating past Carlos embodiments alternate with others culled from CNN, the Today show, and 60 Minutes, where Alvarez affirms his position as a conceptual artist.

    Play Ball! Sports As Paradigms of Masucline Performance In

    PLAY BALL! SPORTS AS PARADIGMS OF MASUCLINE PERFORMANCE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY UNITED STATES by GEOFFREY AARON DOUGLAS (Under the Direction of DAVID SALTZ) ABSTRACT This study examines the culture of baseball and football as paradigms for masculine performativity. The goal is to establish a new way to examine the construction of masculine behavior in United State popular culture. After establishing how both baseball and football present distinct performative images of masculinity, a materialist reading of plays and films representing both sports will reveal how images of gender identity extend into the United States’ popular culture.

  • Bowlers for Baseball

    Bowlers for Baseball

    Bowlers for Baseball In 2008, an American named J.B. Bernstein had an idea. He thought of a way to find new pitchers for baseball. He would look for a talented cricket player. Then he would teach him to play baseball. Cricket and baseball are both very popular, but in different countries. Baseball is most popular in the United States. Cricket is the most popular sport in India. So J.B. began his search in India. Cricket and baseball are different sports. But both use balls and bats. One player throws a ball to another player, who is holding a bat. In baseball, the thrower is called a pitcher. In cricket, the thrower is called a bowler. You need special skills and practice to be a good pitcher (or bowler). J.B. set up an Indian reality TV contest. He called it The Million Dollar Arm. His show filmed all over India. Each contestant got a chance to hit a target with a baseball. To win, you had to hit the target at the fastest speed. The reward was $100,000. Winners had a chance to win $1 million in a bonus round. Rinku Singh won the grand prize. Dinesh Patel came in second place. J.B. helped them move to the U.S. to train as baseball pitchers. J.B. hoped they would later find spots on a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. 2017 Reading Is Fundamental • Content and art created by Simone Ribke Bowlers for Baseball The idea of training bowlers to be pitchers was a new one.

    12 Aseem in New York INDIA IN NEW YORK MAY 16, 2014 Talking with titans ou watch Mad Men , the trailer of the film Million Dollar Arm – which has been on television for quite sometime – Ywill hit you big time. Yes, Disney somehow expects the fans of Don Draper – Mad Men ’s conflicted man with a serious sex addiction problem — to throng theaters to catch him in a differ - ent avatar in the film. Jon Hamm – Mad Men ’s Don Draper – is the lead character in Million Dollar Arm , playing the role of a sports agent who sets out to look for baseball pitchers in India. The film is based on the true story of two former cricket bowlers who learned to pitch for baseball and were finally picked by the Pittsburgh Pirates. I saw the film at a press screening, and it opens in the United States May 16, a week after its opening in India. It is a feel-good movie, and works through all the right notes and formulae that one expects from a Disney film. But it is also so underwhelming, suffering from a heavy Slumdog Millionaire hangover. A R Rahman tries to recreate his musical magic, but almost always ends up imitating the loud souring score of Danny Boyle’s 2008 Oscar winner. At one point, when the song Ringa Ringa starts to play, the Slumdog obsession is way too obvious. The three main Indian actors – Pitobash Tripathy, Suraj Sharma (from Life Of Pi ) and Madhur Mittal (who played the older broth - er in Slumdog ) — are likable and charming.
