Plus there's Della Street from "Perry Mason"!

Oh, agreed! I wouldn't mind having a Shelley Long-fest and watching this back-to-back with "Hello, Again!"

One I heard at work:

George Orr in Ursula Le Guin's "Lathe of Heaven." Also probably Charles Ryder in "Brideshead Revisited," though that would be a very poor decision.

Neil Gaiman's Sandman series

Tuku of Zimbabwe, singing "Neria."

From the Anais Mitchell/Michael Chorney rock opera Hadestown:

I would agree with ihatemo's suggestion of Neil Gaiman, and would also suggest something by Haruki Murakami... maybe "Kafka on the Shore"?

That's cool! I hadn't seen jazz done on the theramin before...

As for nuance, Clara Rockmore could play it with nuance:

Okay, here's one of me at my old job...

I wish I still had the book with me; then I'd be able to look back at it. I can also understand the perspective that "global" could be a method, particularly as a "world-systems" approach. My feeling about methods is they both pose and answer the question you ask (whether you forsee it or not) and "world-systems"…

That's some groovy artwork behind you!

Whew; I didn't like Abu-Lughod when I read her 3 years ago, but okay... I take it your essay (based on the question) has to have a decisive argument? That would make this question difficult for me to answer.

I guess I am... no guarantees though! One of my doctoral fields is global history... What's the question?

I have a pair of friends who started dating, and maybe three years into their relationship, they hit a rough patch. It was possibly due to never having dated anyone else seriously (they hadn't), but as an outsider, it was difficult to tell the reasons. Anyway, I'm convinced they made it through the bad time simply…

I'm not good with really recent releases, but I've liked these (mostly non-US):

Henry probably wouldn't work now... but at the time, I think we hoped he would bring some humor back into Bond. In recent years, the Bonds have been really humorless!

Yeah, I could see that! I also think Paterson Joseph could do the job (played the Marquis de Carabas from Neverwhere).

Yeah, it was a great show! Do you like British series in general?
