Theorizing vision and power at the intersections of the histories of psychoanalysis; media; scientific method; and colonization; Scenes of Projection poaches the prized instruments at the heart of the so-called scientific revolution: the projecting telescope; camera obscura; magic lantern; solar microscope; and prism. From the beginnings of what is retrospectively enshrined as the origins of the Enlightenment and in the wake of colonization; the scene of projection has functioned as a contraption for creating a fantasy subject of discarnate vision for the exercise of ldquo;reason.rdquo; Jill H. Casid demonstrates across a range of sites that the scene of projection is neither a static diagram of power nor a fixed architecture but rather a pedagogical setup that operates as an influencing machine of persistent training. Thinking with queer and feminist art projects that take up old devices for casting an image to reorient this apparatus of power that produces its subject; Scenes of Projection offers a set of theses on the possibilities for felt embodiment out of the damaged and difficult pasts that haunt our present.

Author Derrick Bang skillfully takes us on a memorable journey through the jazz scene in San Francisco and other prominent musical places and introduces us to Vince Guaraldis talents; his struggles and achievements. One also gets exposed to the other creative artists; singers and jazz musicians who worked and influenced him.We can actually experience the Vince Guaraldi Trio playing in the jazz clubs; such as the hungri i in San Francisco; and feel him playing Gershwins "Summertime" along with Cal Tjader and the quartet on the Monterey Peninsula during that bewitching midnight hour. With Derrick Bangs gift for accuracy; he archives this period in history and obviously spent countless hours researching and authenticating the material. The book is both scholarly and entertaining and Bangrsquo;s passion for detail should be appreciated by all.As a huge Charles M. Schulz fan; one experiences the production of the Peanuts cartoon characters on the big screen with Guaraldis unforgettable piano accompaniments. His energetic piano music makes Charlie Brown; Snoopy; Lucy; Linus; and Schroeder quite memorable as he captures their essence.Derrick Bang brings to life Guaraldis personality; temperament and humor in this book and adds some interesting familial influences. I thoroughly enjoyed the addition of the Marcellino family with Carmella and Vincersquo;s ever-talented musical uncles; Muzzy and Joe. Many of the pictures of Guaraldi are delightful throughout the book; especially the 1933 elementary school photo of Vince in San Francisco clutching his teddy bear. This book truly is a classic piece of musical history and is informative and enjoyable.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent bio on Guaraldi.By George MitchellThoroughly enjoyed this book. Covers his entire career; from early years with Woody Herman and Cal Tjader; through his solo years. Great anecdotes with former sidemen. No other book out there on Vince. A must have for Guaraldi fans. Ive been listening to him since I was 12 years old; after hearing him on the Charlie Brown specials. Still love his music; even though jazz has changed and evolved since the 50s; 60s and 70s.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy T HonanGreat book lots of good info also
