His funeral was broadcastlive to Europe, South America and Asia.And, as one newspaper wrote, "the boysof the country were numbed. Their herohad been taken from them."With one eye on the scoreboard and theother focused clearly on the historicalrecord, Knute Rockne and his FightingIrish explores the entanglement of fact andmyth that was Knute Rockne. A Lutheranby birth who became the symbol ofCatholic pride in the 1920's; a self-createdsuper salesman who was one of the firstmedia stars; a garrulous and funny p.r.man who obligingly recreated hislegendary pep talks for the newsreelcameras, Knute Rockne was responsiblefor transforming the game of football froman obscure and innocent pastime into thecolorful amalgam of passion, spectacle,and big business we know today. Alongthe way he turned the University of NotreDame into the most famous Catholicschool in the country, leading toconfrontations with the Ku Klux Klan in1924 and, in our own time, to multi-milliondollar contracts, for football gamebroadcasts.Knute Rockne and his Fighting Irishevokes a post-World War I world in whichoptimism was rampant, a time whenconsumer culture was born and the mediaachieved a position of prominence.Offering illuminating insights on both thegenesis of the forward pass and the natureof ethnic pride, it chronicles the rise of thesports industry in America, and the life andlegend of the man who brought footballinto the modern world.Item no. : WC08880098Format : DVD (Color)Duration : 52 minutesAudience : Grade 7 or aboveCopyright : <strong>2009</strong>StdBkNo : 9781559748063Price : USD 133.00BIOGRAPHYAMERICAN EXPERIENCE:THE TRIALS OF J.

Now, after a hundredyears of colonization and missionaryactivity, only a few men still understand themagic rituals of shark calling.The SharkCallers of Kontu illustrates the effects ofcultural contact on the shark callingtraditions.The people of Kontu associate the sharkswith spiritual forces and believe men cancontrol these spiritual forces to their ownadvantage, or, through correct ritual,protect themselves from harm if they <strong>com</strong>ein contact with the sharks. Now the base oftheir culture has shifted. The influence ofWestern culture and Christian beliefs hasbrought many changes to the islands.Some of the more <strong>com</strong>plex ritualsassociated with shark calling have beenlost over the years.
