One reader even compared my journey to that of Lida Moser, an American photographer who traversed Quebec in 1950, capturing its rural and urban landscapes, its people and its preoccupations, on a trip that became a seminal and lyrical chronicle of the Quebec of that era.

In Hollywood, it is easier to walk unnoticed down a street while wearing snakeskin shoes and handfuls of silver rings — as Cave is known to do — than in most other places, and the city shares many of the musician's abiding preoccupations: religion, rock music, even moviemaking.

We learn the virtues of obedience and of listening to one's parents, and of course taking care of them, all preoccupations of a government whose decades of draconian family planning policies have left it with a rapidly aging population and a rebellious youth that ignores its parents.

But what we can see so far is enough to reset the colonial and rather condescending interpretations of Choucair's work, and to start analysis again with a fresh set of questions in which historical claims and narrative forms become secondary to the primary preoccupations of the artist.

Packed into the suite of galleries at Zwirner's 19th Street location are paintings sorted according to Smith's handful of innocuous preoccupations: reapers of the scythe-wielding Ingmar Bergman variety, schematic turtles, human skeletons with spider limbs, stick-figure devils, and a modest number of utterly forgettable ceramic traffic cones.

The typical BDD patient is perfectionistic and over-focused on small details, meaning that cosmetic surgery often comes with a significant downside: The unrealistic expectations that patients have can lead to distress, dissatisfaction, and new appearance preoccupations—some patients simply "switch" their area of obsessive focus after surgery.

His latest project combines his two childhood preoccupations by imagining a very different outcome to World War II—one in which America bombed its allies in the Soviet Union as well as its foes in Japan, and went on to rule the world as its sole nuclear power.
|

These preoccupations reached even into the preparations for the World Cup, where student organizers allege government agents infiltrated their Telegram group chat and tried to intimidate them into dropping protests against holding an enormous festival for soccer fans on the campus of Moscow State University during their final exams.

Strikingly, the case against Mr. Wolfe brings together several of President Trump's preoccupations: leaks, which he has railed about since taking office; Washington's permanent bureaucracy, which he derides as the "deep state"; the news media, Mr. Trump's favorite target; and the investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia.
|
|
But though he cared deeply for the trappings of the myths from which he formed his "Ring," Wagner ultimately meant those horned helmets and realistically frolicking Rhinemaidens to be a vehicle for his philosophical preoccupations: tangled layers of social utopianism, anarchism, love-conquers-all humanism, renounce-the-world nihilism.

The features, including Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), Lizzie Borden's Born in Flames (1983), and Bette Gordon's Variety (1983), the last with a script by Kathy Acker, all share with the shorts the movement's thematic preoccupations and help contextualize No Wave within cinema's history.

He urged renewal of the Élysée Treaty, the compact that has governed Franco-German relations for over half a century, and had lots to say on migration and security, preoccupations in Berlin that might form the basis for an early Franco-German deal (though a stitch-up risks alienating other members).
|
|
In my conversations with him, his political preoccupations seemed closer to libertarianism than to anything more blood and soil, but he has a habit of saying things that, depending on your view, seem either like dog whistles to the far right or like the bomb-throwing reflexes of a born controversialist.

Aided by his usual cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski, and by the production designer Adam Stockhausen, he turns a vast virtual landscape of battling avatars into a bustling pop-cultural theme park, an interactive museum of late-20th- and early-21st-century entertainment, a maze of niche tastes, cultish preoccupations and blockbuster callbacks.

There are a few things you can more or less count on to be true in a Jonathan Lethem book: Part of the pleasure of reading Lethem lies in seeing how he's combined his particular preoccupations this time around, and whether the resulting universe is just dark or downright nihilistic.

The exhibition is on view from June 7-17, with an opening reception from 6-9pm on Saturday June 10 at Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, NY. Through various media and thirteen very unique practices, the work in Commencement offers a glimpse into the concerns and preoccupations of our society as a whole.

But these areas have steadily shifted away from the G.O.P. as the party has come to be defined less by its traditional center-right agenda — like taxes and public safety — than by the preoccupations of rural white conservatives, on matters like protecting gun rights, restricting abortion and cracking down on illegal immigration.
|
|
Rather than seeking to coax voters like these back into the Republican coalition, Mr. Trump appears to have all but written them off, spending the final days of the campaign delivering a scorching message about preoccupations like birthright citizenship and a migrant "invasion" from Mexico that these voters see through as alarmist.
|

The emergence of difference from sameness is one of the central preoccupations of Bouchra Ouizguen's "Corbeaux" ("Crows"), which combines the qualities of moving sculpture and sound installation as black-robed women utter piercing cries and abruptly jerk their heads backward as they move through a site-specific space with ritualized, repetitive intent.
|
|
Ever since the 1993 publication of "The Morning After," in which a 25-year-old Roiphe derided "feminist preoccupations with rape and sexual harassment" on college campuses, she has taken care to position herself as a feminist of a particular kind: tough but not radical, assertive but not militant, cool but not cold.

If Mathews is trying to show that humans are caught up in their own preoccupations even in the face of the most dire events, fine — after all, the Trump era proves it every day — but the point is muted by his own meanderings as he careens from the picaresque to the thriller.

More importantly, I think it is imperative to recognize that Snider's interest in the relationship between popular culture, theater, dancing, innovative art, politics, and persecution, as seen through the lens of the Russian Revolution and Soviet art (which, like ballroom dancing, has been one of her longtime preoccupations), addresses the present moment.
|

Of course, all writers have preoccupations, refrains, obsessions; and by using the seasons as a thematic tarpaulin that covers the whole enterprise and publishing the volumes in fairly quick succession ("Autumn" appeared here last February) with some exciting, punctuating overlaps, she allows the books to exist at once separately and in comfortable relation.
|

Thoughts that had been slow-dripping into my developing brain—vague preoccupations with lust and death; questions such as "why do I feel terrible all the time" and "literally what is the point of being alive" that I'd been too afraid and ill-equipped to vocalize—were presented before me, clear as a polished mirror.

Celebrities fascinate us because they embody certain cultural preoccupations — Jennifer Lawrence is cool in the way we think girls should be cool; Tom Hanks is an ideal white middle-class dad — so by taking apart the way a celebrity performs a persona, Petersen can analyze what about that persona is most compelling to us.

Manohla Dargis, who named it the best film of 30, wrote in a review for The New York Times that "like any number of Ms. Akerman's other movies, this one revisits some of her preoccupations — home, exile, memory, identity, bodies, specifically the female body, on- and offscreen space — through the prism of Natalia," her mother.

Consequently, viewers who know little or nothing about her background and interests, or about her work's themes and preoccupations, may find themselves taking a necessarily formalist approach to apprehending her art — that is, they may find themselves having to look closely at each work's form, composition, color, and style for clues to its intentions, moods, and meanings.

All of Hempel's regular preoccupations appear in these stories: dogs (she fosters and trains service animals), jokes (she spent a lot of time in San Francisco comedy clubs in the 1970s), and trauma (her mother committed suicide when she was 19, her best friend died of leukemia in her twenties, and she herself survived two car accidents).
|
|
Like its removed political oversights, Infinite's deliberations over the nature of games and the passivity or impassivity of writer and player feel largely self-interested—its two central preoccupations, simplistic moralizing and prodding at narrative form, leave you convinced that rather than moral, social, or human issues, Infinite is interested in sophomoric debates about video games.
|
|
At least a decade before the twin figures of the harried working woman and the neurotic, unwed 19833-something became media preoccupations, Ms. Moore's portrayal — for which she won four of her seven Emmy Awards — expressed both the exuberance and the melancholy of the single career woman who could plot her own course without reference to cultural archetypes.
|
|
But, from another perspective, the red-on-yellow chain-link wall pattern generates a series of linkages that enable us to envision these seven works as station stops along the way to a genre of abstraction that retains its real-world baggage, so to speak, in quasi-pictorial terms — a vessel for distilling personal preoccupations and artistic influences into pure paint, impurely deployed.

St. John, who died in 2006, was the first Australian woman to be shortlisted for the Booker Prize (for a later novel, "The Essence of the Thing"), and though the plotlines here are somewhat reductive — marriage, dating and dresses are the characters' central preoccupations — the book is laced with a fierce intelligence that captures the limited options for women and postwar xenophobic views.

If one starts, as Fritzsche does, in the private sphere, with the losses and gains of everyday life, the war, or even the prospect of war, can seem at once more alien and more familiar: alien, because personal concerns had little to do with the grand themes of ideology; familiar because preoccupations with such matters as family are common to everyone.

As thought balloons exposing the preoccupations of a young, married couple, these signifiers (quotes from Ludwig Wittgenstein and Moby-Dick, silly photo-booth portraits, and a minimalist poem by a teenage girl, among other private moments and public-facing statements) take their cue from the picture-messaging and bright surfaces of Pop, while looking beyond the hollow, consumerist side of contemporary life.

The story of how Bella Spewack, the main book writer, wrestled the oft-reviled "Taming of the Shrew" into a musical, how the show shadowed gender-role preoccupations of the time, and how the change from the '40s to the '50s caused the politically bold Broadway show to be tamed for the Hollywood movie provides cultural history at its most diverting.

" Both that claim and her interest in comics primarily as an auteurist enterprise are in contrast to the mainstream preoccupations of Reed Tucker's "Slugfest: Inside the Epic 50-Year Battle Between Marvel and DC." As his subtitle indicates, his book largely concerns the two historically dominant companies in American comics, which he characterizes as "the Coke and Pepsi of spandex.

But that doesn't mean it avoids Waters's other literary preoccupations, in particular questions of class and financial insecurity, explored here through the story of a country doctor in postwar Britain who insinuates himself into a family of landed gentry struggling to maintain their way of life and ward off an increasingly unsettling (and heavily symbolic) supernatural presence in their dilapidated home. —GK

Read that way, these entertainments seem like another kind of Enlightenment backlash, a further quest to push the human perspective out from the centre of our worldly preoccupations in order to ask (a la John Gray or James Lovelock) whether other sentient organisms are not equal stakeholders on this here Mothership Earth: enfranchised party members scrambling up and down the same snakes and ladders of evolutionary consciousness.
|

But if you snap out of that and realize that the public actually is sick of the one-note preoccupations of journalists and that the allegations of sexism and racism don't have the power they had anymore, and that's good, and people are actually looking for a chaos candidate—I think the dysfunctional coalition that Donald Trump is assembling makes a lot more sense.

Yet, objectively speaking, the hazards of being gay for Greenwell's characters make their plot at least as dramatic as (say) that of Knausgaard's socially awkward teenager trying to sneak alcohol into a party in Book 1 of "My Struggle," or Lerner's expatriate poet adrift on a haze of hash in "Leaving the Atocha Station" — or either of these writer-protagonists' vainglorious preoccupations with their literary reputations.

Certain preoccupations recur across the year, most notably different treatments of the female form: the furious, needle-toothed harpy in The Woman with a Dagger, Picasso's reimagining of David's The Death of Marat; serene classical busts with engorged, proboscis-like noses in the sculptures produced at his studio at Boisgeloup; disembodied assemblages of abstract volumes, floating in space; languorous, reclining odalisques, lost in sleep or contemplation.

PM Lee: Well it is something which I say on every visit to the U.S.... And it is a message which bears repeating because I think it is the truth, which is not going to change in the short while and which needs to be made a reminder because the U.S. has so many other preoccupations -- domestically and also internationally, in other parts of the world.

He was a serious student of fashion, whose preoccupations and obsessions were evident from his first collections: With tailoring (he bucked the '80s trend for giant shoulders and developed his own narrow shoulder line instead), with proportion (caroming between tracing the body and exaggerating it under oversize designs), with color, with construction (his use of darts, seaming, exposed linings, raw seams), with trompe l'oeil.

I am Philip, I am Colson, I am Jonathan, I am Rivka, I am Virginia, I am Sylvia, I am Zora, I am Chinua, I am Saul, I am Toni, I am Nathan, I am Vladimir, I am Leo, I am Albert, I am Chimamanda — but how easily I might have been somebody else, with their feelings and preoccupations, with their obsessions and flaws and virtues.

Biden could try to win over the burn-it-down activists and young voters who were said to be taking over the party; he could lurch leftward, sign on to progressive preoccupations like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and basically try to remake himself in the image of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the person of a septuagenarian with a hair transplant.

A look at the archive of reviews, and a sampling of his prolific body of work, reveals that his reputation as a major artist — as something more than a comedian or an observer of the social mores of New Yorkers, a prisoner of his own mannerism and preoccupations — rests on the movies he made in the mid-1980s and early 1990s, the years of his involvement with Mia Farrow.

While there are no recent works on display, with the exception of an archival pigment print of a dodo bird, one of Beck's preoccupations, I would urge anyone interested in what can be done with kinetic sculpture or a diorama, or who is a fan of Joseph Cornell, William Wiley, or H. C Westermann — outliers who created self-contained worlds governed by strange laws and populated by mysterious figures — to go to this exhibition.

"The United States has the unappealing combination of a relatively short presidential term and an unusually long election process... The campaign invariably consumes a lot of the incumbent president's time, which is probably the single scarcest commodity in politics... A long electoral cycle also lengthens the period in which foreign actors can try to use our internal preoccupations to advance their own ends," Stephen Walt, a professor of international affairs at Harvard, wrote in Foreign Policy in 2012.

Where von Däniken argued that old myths and biblical tales alike contain evidence of ancient alien visitations (an idea picked up, most recently, by Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequels), Vallée suggested that contemporary U.F.O. narratives are of piece with stories about Northern European fairies and their worldwide kith and kin — and that it's more reasonable to think that we're reading our space age preoccupations into a persistent phenomenon that might be much weirder than a simple visitation from the stars.

But having genre elements isn't the same thing as fitting into a genre, and in that vein, S-Town is less a true-crime whodunit than a kaleidoscopic non-fiction novel in the shape of a true crime–tinged podcast, one whose narrative preoccupations are more tied to the spirit and myriad complexities of a place (in this case, the tiny rural town of Woodstock, Alabama) than the combustible tension of a mystery to be solved — though, there is a murder mystery involved, too.

Inveterately social and intellectually adventurous, Kennedy probably invited more blacks to his home — the black essayist and novelist James Baldwin among them — than any white politician of his era, but Martin Luther King was never among them… And yet, their preoccupations and goals — ending the war in Vietnam; tackling racial discrimination in the United States, South Africa, and elsewhere; fighting poverty — increasingly overlapped… When, in 1966, Kennedy visited Chief Albert Luthuli, the South African civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner living in internal exile, he is thought to have delivered a letter from King.

She quickly renounced the strict cubism of Leger's atelier while still in Paris and vehemently denied Western influence on her work (at least to the degree that it appeared that she was just a follower of the avant-garde artists, though Choucair did not share their preoccupations.) Choucair's work, an extended investigation of the nature of negative space, grows through distinct bodies of work: from a purely geometric understanding of the boundaries of the line (the series Trajectories of a Line, from the 1950s), to her most complex structures in which a visual model of infinity is constructed through irregular patterns, repetitions, and concave shapes (Infinite Structures, from the 1960s onward).
