WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE "Happening recounts what it was like to be a young woman whose life changed — and world ominously narrowed — in 1963 with an unwanted pregnancy. . . . It feels urgently of the moment." --The New York Times In 1963, Annie Ernaux, 23 and unattached, realizes she is pregnant. Shame arises in her like a plague: Understanding that her pregnancy will mark her and her family as social failures, she knows she cannot keep that child. This is the story, written forty years later, of a trauma Ernaux never overcame. In a France where abortion was illegal, she attempted, in vain, to self-administer the abortion with a knitting needle. Fearful and desperate, she finally located an abortionist, and ends up in a hospital emergency ward where she nearly dies. In Happening, Ernaux sifts through her memories and her journal entries dating from those days. Clearly, cleanly, she gleans the meanings of her experience. Now an award-winning film by Audrey Diwan Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival Official Selection of the Sundance Film Festival

Everything, from electricity to electric vehicles, is about to get cheaper, cleaner, and a whole lot more powerful. The discovery is going to improve the fortunes of humanity, and of e-Trax. There’s only one problem: the deposit isn’t in a wasteland. It’s in a national park. Park ranger Moja has spent a lot of time and resources to escape her past and the sophisticated, online world of hAPPn, the largest social media app ever. But when she learns about the proposed mining project, she realizes that e-Trax is misleading hAPPn’s 3.7 billion users in order to hide their destruction of the park. But she can’t stop the megacorp alone. So she resurrects a dangerous ghost from her past to recruit Eva, hAPPn’s Chief Growth Engineer, and Jamaal, an e-Trax geologist – neither of whom want to hear that the jobs they love are enabling the devastating environmental damage that their bosses are helping to cover up. Moja, Eva, and Jamaal will lose everything they love if they insist on pursuing the truth. Will they give up life in a perfect virtual world in order to protect the only reality that humanity has left?

John has regular encounters with the supernatural like few others have experienced. To John, Creator God is full of wonders, majesty, and mystery beyond human ability to comprehend and yet can be experienced in all of His wonder through personal encounters. Dr. Leonard Hoffman's The Happening examines the possibilities of such an encounter, and while doing so, uncovers the answers to many theological issues about God and His Divine Nature that have plagued scholars for decades. Through a series of visions, a young people's group discovers answers to questions such as, how was the cross a good experience for Jesus? How does God develop His Divine Nature in believers today? And how can believers today operate in Kingdom authority? The Happening is a must read for all who are looking for a God who is greater than religion and desire a fresh encounter with Him. When the usual religious cliches fail to answer life's struggles, it is time for The Happening."

Beyond the Happening uncovers the heterogeneous, uniquely interdisciplinary performance-based works that emerged in the aftermath of the early Happenings. By the mid-1960s Happenings were widely declared outmoded or even ‘dead’, but this book reveals how many practitioners continued to work with the form during the late 1960s and 1970s, developing it into a vehicle for studying interpersonal communication that simultaneously deployed and questioned contemporary sociology and psychology. Focussing on the artists Allan Kaprow, Marta Minujín, Carolee Schneemann and Lea Lublin, it charts how they revised and retooled the premises of the Happening within a wider network of dynamic international activity. The resulting performances directly intervened in the wider discourse of communication studies, as it manifested in the politics of countercultural dropout, soft power and cultural diplomacy, alternative pedagogies, sociological art and feminist consciousness-raising.
