Böcker av Mark Polizzotti

Why does Surrealism continue to fascinate us a century after Andrâe Breton's Manifesto of Surrealism? How do we encounter Surrealism today? Mark Polizzotti vibrantly reframes the Surrealist movement in contemporary terms and offers insight into why it continues to inspire makers and consumers of art, literature, and culture. Polizzotti shows how many forms of popular media can thank Surrealism for their existence, including Monty Python, Theatre of the Absurd, and trends in fashion, film, and literature. While discussing the movement's iconic figures, including Andrâe Breton, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalâi, Renâe Magritte, Man Ray, and Dorothea Tanning, he also broadens the traditionally French and male-focused narrative, constructing a more diverse and global representation. And he addresses how the Surrealists grappled with ideas that mirror current concerns, including racial and economic injustice, sexual politics, issues of identity, labor unrest, and political activism.

Highway 61 Revisited gavs ut 1965 och blev en av Bob Dylans mest betydelsefulla skivor. Skivan innehåller bland annat flera klassiska låtar som Dylan även idag framför på sina konserter, exempelvis "Like A Rolling Stone" och "Desolation Row". Den sistnämnda låten handlar om den amerikanska drömmen och hur den på endast tio verser kan förvandlas till den amerikanska mardrömmen.Highway 61 är vid sidan av Route 66 den mest legendariska vägen i USA och den sträcker sig från Kanada i norr till Mexiko i söder. Vägen passerar inte bara Dylans uppväxtstad Hibbing utan även platser där andra kända musiker föddes, bland andra Elvis Presley och Muddy Waters.Mark Polizzotti (född 1957) är en amerikansk författare, översättare, poet och kritiker.

An engaging and unabashedly opinionated examination of what translation is and isn't.

Examines just what makes the songs so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. This book blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful).
