  • Syria: Reżim Asadów” Znajdziemy Się W Samym Sercu Syrii I Spojrzymy Na Ręce Baszara Al-Assada, Który Prowadzi Bezwzględną Politykę Wewnętrzną I Międzynarodową
    WYBRANE PROPOZYCJE PROGRAMOWE National Geographic styczeń 2019 r. W Nowy Rok kanał National Geographic wchodzi z mnóstwem nowych produkcji. Przeniesiemy się w przeszłość, choć będą to czasy, które wielu widzów doskonale pamięta. Nowy serial fabularno- dokumentalny „Internetowy boom” pokaże nam, jak powstawała słynna Dolina Krzemowa i jak rosła bańka internetowa, która w końcu musiała pęknąć. Z kolei m.in. o powstaniu internetu opowie seria „1989 – globalna rewolucja”. Pokaże ona także inne przełomowe wydarzenia, które miały miejsce 30 lat temu, a wśród nich upadek komunizmu w Polsce. Będziemy też świadkami niezwykłych wydarzeń, które zobaczymy od wewnątrz. W programie „Krwawa szkoła” przeżyjemy wojenną misję, oglądając ją oczami żołnierzy. Dokument „Tajemnice Secret Service” pozwoli nam z kolei wziąć udział w misjach specjalnych Tajnej Służby Stanów Zjednoczonych. Za sprawą dokumentu „Syria: reżim Asadów” znajdziemy się w samym sercu Syrii i spojrzymy na ręce Baszara Al-Assada, który prowadzi bezwzględną politykę wewnętrzną i międzynarodową. W styczniu czeka nas także mocna dawka wrażeń z seriami „Plemienna szkoła przetrwania” i „Plemienna szkoła przetrwania: ryzykowna gra”. Instruktor survivalu Hazen Audel zabierze nas w rejony, z których przeciętni turyści nie uszliby z życiem. On jednak nauczy się technik przetrwania od lokalnej ludności. Seria „Szaleństwo na pokładzie” pozwoli nam z kolei uczestniczyć w najbardziej niebezpiecznych, dramatycznych i wzruszających momentach na pokładach samolotów. A skoro o pokładach mowa, zagłębimy się w historię historycznego rejsu Titanica i sprawdzimy dokładnie, co skrywa wrak leżący na dnie Atlantyku. KATASTROFA W PRZESTWORZACH AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION 18 Premiery w poniedziałki od 28 stycznia o godz. 21:00 (10x60 min) Był 28 listopada 2016 roku. Samolot z brazylijską drużyną piłkarską Chapecoense miał wkrótce lądować na lotnisku w Kolumbii.

  • Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
    Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.
