On the disaster of the culture wars. [Patreon Exclusive] Regular contributor Catherine Liu is back on to talk about her essay in Damage, issue 2, "Professional Populists in the Culture Wars". We discuss: What were the original 'culture wars' and how are they different to today? Why are the "academic populists" more elitist than anyone? Was there a need in the 1980s to "disrupt" the humanities? Why does conservatism now need to wear "populist" clothes? How should we defend the "canon"? What is the "Catherine Liu Foundation for Attacking Badness"?

Lenormand was a fortune-teller in France in the 19th century. She was hugely influential, because despite her work being illegal, very important and powerful people consulted her for cartomancy readings. Research:  "Marie Anne Lenormand."

We welcome a true pioneer of psychedelics science, Dr. David Nichols, to the show. The episode begins with panelists matching quotes about psychedelics to the famous person who gave the quote, and the substance they were referring to. The pop literature segment explores a timeline of psychedelic events from 1990 - present. Dr. Nichols provides a fascinating look into multiple landmark studies that were enabled by his lab's willingness to synthesize the required psychedelic compounds. For the peer reviewed segment the group assesses a recent publication about cutting edge methods for measuring the acute brain action of psychedelics. This inspires a conversation about the practical utility of such tools in specific research areas and for driving the field forward.

This week Jeff and Dave wander back into the lush, crowded undergrowth of Edgar Rice Burroughs' prose, guided by the inimitable Erling B. "Jack" Holstmark. Does the vine-swinging, croc-wrestling, ape-aping Tarzan really have anything to do with Odysseus? Hercules? Neither? Or does Dave's late Prof. have a case of academicitis, "seeing what's not there"? Come along with us as we finish up looking at the abiding influence of Animals, Hero, and Themes, the final chapter of Holtsmark's 1981 monograph. And remember, "We live in a world of illusion, where everything's peaches and cream. We all face a scarlet conclusion, but we spend our time in a dream." You're going to (jungle) love this episode! Just make sure that crate of papaya doesn't wait all night by your door.

The guys are back, and this time they are taking a break from the Aeneid series to focus on the appearance of classical themes and inspiration in an unexpected place: the 20th century pulp fiction novels of Tarzan. Aided by the brilliant monograph of Dave's late grad school professor, Dr. Erling B. "Jack" Holtsmark, we examine such questions as, What standards should popular literature be held to? What makes for good diction and characterization? Is Tarzan in the mold of Achilles? Along the way we look at some structures of Greek and Latin style, including polarities, chiasmus, and parallels. If you enjoyed the Tarzan books or movies as a kid, this is a vine time to renew your interest as we burroughs deep into the jungle of Tarzaniana.

We get together for this episode to discuss everything from the legacy of the late Raphael Mechoulam, PhD, to the economics of THC and regulated cannabis. This episode features Joshua Hartsel, PhD and the show begins with a fun look at Dr. Mechoulam's massive impact on cannabis research. For the second segment, we discuss the issues regarding “THC inflation” - over estimations of potency and lab shopping that are plaguing the industry. This topic inspired the episode cover art which, in a first for HLI, was created using a generative AI tool (DALL·E 2). We end by discussing our interpretation of a recent publication about the economics of the 420 “holiday” and the impact of adult use regulations on medical cannabis operations.

In this episode of the Pints & Perspectives Podcast, the guys discuss how our understandings of Hell actually aren't biblical but shaped by a few different popular works of literature over the years.

Too many people have been hurt by a church in their past, because church has become something that it was never meant to be: an event or building that we attend. At WellHouse, we believe that the people of God are the church and that the love of God should be experienced through the people of God. So, WellHouse has returned to a New Testament expression of our faith by meeting in homes and dedicating ourselves to: the teaching of the scriptures, the fellowship of the believers, the breaking of bread together, and praying together for one another. We are focused on being a genuine expression of Christian hospitality and service to our community and the people of our community. At WellHouse we want to be a place where people can Be Real, Be Relational, and Be Restored. As our leadership was dreaming up this vision, we looked at Scripture and saw that the earliest expressions of the church met in homes and it was rare that all of the believers were together. Today, most churches have found themselves spending a large portion of their budget on buildings that they rarely use. Not WellHouse. We want to keep our overhead low so we can spend our money on the things that matter, being the hands and feet of Jesus. So, we meet in the homes of our members for the majority of our meetings. Once per month, we all come together at a rented facility to devote our selves together as the whole church for the purpose of worshipping God together.

"Coffee in hand, I decided to try and collect my thoughts. I realized that a large portion of the literature we grew up reading has in many ways tried to implant this subconscious bias that contributes to gender disparities and these ideas about women that have continued to ruminate throughout parts of society to this day. Literature in and of itself is a reflection of the times in which it is and was written. Sadly, examples of stark contrasts in comportment, demeanor, and overall health and well-being amongst men and women are nowadays ever-present and are all around us. It is of paramount importance that we as physicians now take a step back and analyze how subconscious bias affects us in all aspects of medicine." Theodore Klug is a clinical research fellow. He shares his story and discusses the KevinMD article, "Gender disparities in medicine: How popular literature mirrors 2020 society."

Germany's polar expedition of 1869 took a dramatic turn when 14 men were shipwrecked on an ice floe off the eastern coast of Greenland. As the frozen island carried them slowly toward settlements in the south, it began to break apart beneath them. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the crew of the Hansa on their desperate journey toward civilization. We'll also honor a slime mold and puzzle over a reversing sunset. Intro: The yellow-bellied longclaw, Macronyx flavigaster, could produce the long-sought 10×10 word square.

What is popular literature? Walk into most bookshops and you will find fiction categories like “Crime”, “Science Fiction”, and “Horror”. You will also tend to find a section called “Literature”. But how does a book get placed here? Is there really such a thing as “Literature” (with a capital “L”), read more... The post Episode 4: Popular Literature appeared first on Words To That Effect.

Moïra Fowley-Doyle talks young adult fiction and popular literature with Dr Jane Carroll (TCD) as part of the new Popular Literature lunchtime series by the School of English.

I'm so pleased to chat with Jane Kelly, a wonderful writer and delightful human being -- one who just happens to thrive on mystery. Jane's Meg Daniels Mysteries have always had a lot of heart, but as they've evolved, the series has grown richer. It has also begun to include an element of delving into the past. Missing You in Atlantic City looks into a death linked to the 1964 Democratic National Convention and the next one in the works will involve the 1968 Miss America Pageant. Jane has launched two other series, both with an element of the Kennedy era: Widow Lady, set in 1960, and Swoon '64, a Writing in Time mystery, set in the present but investigating a crime of the past. Check out her Pinterest page for gorgeous 1960s images to set the scene. Jane gives a shout-out to historical mystery writer Annamaria Alfieri and also to the wonderful M.Phil program she did in Dublin, Ireland, at Trinity College, which I have to link to because it sounds so awesome. I live vicariously through these interviews! Here are the Meg Daniels Mysteries in order: 1. Killing Time in Ocean City 2. Cape Mayhem 3. Wrong Beach Island 4. Missing You in Atlantic City Also, the bonus book, A Fear of Seaside Heights, could be considered 3A -- it falls in between Wrong Beach Island and Missing You in Atlantic City in Meg's timeline. You can also find Jane on Facebook at her Author Page and her Meg Daniels Page. As always, if you'd rather read than listen, the transcript is below. Enjoy! Transcript of Interview with Jane Kelly Laura Brennan: My guest today is Jane Kelly, author of the Meg Daniels, Writing in Time, and Widow Lady mysteries. Her mysteries focus on personal stories: missing mothers, murders that haunt from childhood. But whether historical or contemporary, they all offer a terrific ride. Jane, thank you for joining me. Jane Kelly: Thank you for the invitation. LB: Before we talk about your writing, I'd like to talk a little bit about you. You have a Masters in Library and Information Science and an Master of Philosophy in Popular Literature from Trinity College, Dublin -- you are the queen of books! JK: Well, it does dovetail nicely, the two masters, even though they might seem very dissimilar, they do fit together very nicely. I didn't get the literature degree until later in life, so I couldn't use it in conjunction really with the library degree, but the library degree helps me immensely in terms of doing research for the books. LB: I'm not going to fib, I am crazy jealous that you studied at Trinity College in Dublin. What took you to Dublin? JK: The idea came to me -- well, not specifically Dublin -- one day I was on a panel at a conference and we were going down the row, we were asked to introduce ourselves. And the first person said, I'm so-and-so and I just got back from the writing program at the University of Iowa. And somebody else said, I'm so-and-so and I have an MFA from Columbia. And the next person said something similar, and I said, hello, I'm Jane Kelly. So it occurred to me that perhaps I should look into getting some real credentials for what I was doing because I had already published a couple of books. And I went online, and I found a program in Dublin which was popular literature. It was the first in Europe and it was one of the first in the world, if not the first. So it was very different. And I went over, I interviewed, and I went back. And I think it's been a tremendous help in terms of writing. We started in the early days with chapbooks, I think I recall they are called, and went through all the modern genres and just learned what people have been liking in literature for hundreds of years. It was really a great experience. LB: I would imagine genre literature appeared in that list. JK: It did, yes. We read mysteries, westerns, speculative, any genre. We even read romance -- I like the way I said "even romance" because I don't read romance but I kn...

"Some Strange Feelin'" is by Davis Coen, and is available at Mevio.com. "Our Pet Rat" is an essay published anonymously in Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Arts in 1878. I found it in Google Books. The publisher, William Chambers, was the Lord Provost of Edinburgh who was included as a character in the film Greyfriars Bobby. (He paid for Bobby's dog license so the dog would not be put down by the authorities after the dog's master had died.) Read about bee space at the University of Illinois Extension website. McGee harassing Gibbs: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl2G3TKckGw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999] Notice that, at about 53 seconds in, Gibbs turns on McGee with his fur fluffed out like an angry cat. "Ain't It Strange" is by Bosco and Peck, and is available at Mevio.com. A friend of mine went with me to The International Gem and Jewelry Show in Rosemont, IL. She and her husband also went to the Anime Central Convention, which was held in the same building that weekend. I would have gone to both, too, if it weren't for the facts that (a) I still had to grade a lot of final papers for my classes, (b) I am a huge wuss and a whole day of fun would have been too much for me physically, and (c) I did not have enough money lying around loose to pay for both shows. As it was, I got to take some pictures of some awesome costumes. Most people were very gracious when I asked if I could photograph them (getting asked is a compliment, I'm told). I, on the other hand, was very pleased that whenever I asked someone to pose, three or four other people immediately started photographing my models too. I took that as a signal that I have a good eye for costumes -- even though I know zippo about anime. I've tried looking these characters up, and all I found was an ad image for a site, not the series: See them there? Right in the middle? Blue eye patches, blue eye patches! The two girls (I think) in blue warned me that they were not from the same series, and I told them, "I don't care. I don't know anything about series. I just like your costumes." They were not impressed with my answer, as you can tell from their facial expressions. This guy is not from a series. Lots of people just dress up as animals. I am mainly interested in her arm armor, which she made. My friends told me later that there was a girl with homemade, lightweight armor all over her body, in curlicues reminiscent of (but less chilly than) Princess Leia's outfit in Jabba the Hutt's den. Eeeee! The guy was walking around with the box slightly open, and just his eyes peering out. I wish I knew who this was supposed to be. Gas mask! And, perhaps, Waldo. Unicorn!

When people think of Texas, they conjure up images of tumbleweeds, oil wells and, of course, cowboys. Everyone lives on a ranch, rides a horse and wears a cowboy hat. In fact, Texas is still a frontier state that is just as wild in the 21st century as it was in the 19th century. Or is it? Join the Treasures of the Texas Collection as we investigate the various portrayals of Texas throughout popular literature.
