From Banks's brewery's yeasty stink to groaty pudding to spicy curry, Sebastian Groes and R. M. Francis have assembled a new literary history of the smells and (childhood) memories that belong to the Black Country. This often overlooked region of the United Kingdom at the frontlines of post-industrial upheaval is a veritable treasure trove for studying the relationship between olfaction and place-specific memory. Smell, Memory, and Literature in the Black Country is an interdisciplinary exploration of the relationship between smell and memory in which the contributions consider both personal and communal memory. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, memory studies, literary studies and philosophy, the critical essays reconsider psychogeography through cutting-edge sensory and philosophical engagements with physical space, smell, language and human behaviour. The creative contributions from writers including Liz Berry, Narinder Dhami, Anthony Cartwright, and Kerry Hadley-Pryce meditate on the senses, place, and identity. Not only does this book illustrate the rich cultural heritage of the Black Country, it will also appeal to those interested in place writing. The book is prefaced by Will Self.

Updated with new terms, examples, and exercises, and to reflect the 2016 MLA guidelines, the Second Edition of Essential Literary Terms defines more than 225 must-know literary terms in clear and concise prose, and offers an abundance of examples and exercises to enhance understanding.

Filme sind auf staatliche Filmfoerderung angewiesen. Die Autorin stellt in einem Rechtsvergleich die Filmfoerdersysteme in Deutschland und England einschliesslich der Foerderung auf UK-Ebene mit ihren unterschiedlichen Foerderinstrumenten gegenuber. Erstmalig wird das englische Filmfoerdersystem in seiner Gesamtheit dargestellt. Die Foerderungen werden auf eine Vereinbarkeit mit dem europaischen Beihilfenrecht untersucht, insbesondere das Tatbestandsmerkmal der staatlichen Mittel und die Rechtfertigungsgrunde. Die Autorin gibt als Resultate wertvolle Hinweise zur Korrektur von Foerdergesetzen und -richtlinien. Hervorgehoben wird das Film Tax Regime der britischen Steuererleichterungen, das sowohl Vorbild als auch Warnfunktion fur eine Weiterentwicklung des deutschen Filmfoerdersystems sein kann.

Estos grupos marginados invitan a los lectores a desarrollar nuevas formas de dialogos, practicas y alianzas transculturales.

Lo que encontramos en esta publicacion es una aproximacion al cine de David Lynch desde el pensamiento cinematografico de Gilles Deleuze. La conjuncion de estos dos autores, en apariencia muy distantes, permite la creacion de un dialogo entre filosofia y creacion audiovisual que tiene el fin de reflexionar sobre la naturaleza propia de las imagenes cinematograficas. A traves de dos peliculas del director norteamericano, Carretera Perdida (1997) y Mulholland Drive (2001), se ponen en juego imagenes pensadas por Deleuze como la imagen-recuerdo, el "sueno implicado", la imagen-sueno o la imagen-cristal.

In this learned but practical book, Jen Webb shows how 'research practices can invigorate writing; creative practices can invigorate research; and - if properly organised and managed - creative writing can operate as a mode of knowledge generation, a way of exploring problems and answering questions that matter in our current context'. Researching creative writing enables writer-researchers to craft a toolkit that will help them produce better creative work and more rigorous research work.

Life writing is people-centered nonfiction writing. Not just autobiographical or biographical, life writing encompasses a broad range of personal-experience narratives. Life writing can be serious or humorous or both. It can include any kind of subject matter because people are always at the heart of any endeavor. Fred D. White, Ph.D., author of four textbooks on writing, walks the reader through the life writing process from research to composition to revision to marketing.

This book will help students in choosing a topic for their thesis that they can investigate and turn into a short paper or a long dissertation. The book looks at questions like the following. What should feed into their choice of a supervisor? How should they compile and organise their bibliography and set about writing the introduction? What are some tips for writing paragraphs and entire chapters and producing conclusions? What are ways of providing references, using helpful (or at least correct) punctuation, avoiding common mistakes in spelling, and improving their level of writing? When difficulties arise-for instance, with their supervisor-how might they cope with and resolve such difficulties? This book is a guide. It aims to offer straightforward suggestions about doing research, putting the results into a convincing form, and dealing with difficulties that inevitably arise. The overall objective of this book is to provide students and their supervisors with some down-to-earth proposals about things to do and things to avoid when preparing and producing a long essay or a thesis. This book is the result of many years of teaching and supervising students.

Die derzeit ublichen territorialen Lizenzierungspraktiken der Filmindustrie fuhren im Online-Bereich zur Zersplitterung des europaischen Binnenmarktes, indem sie die grenzuberschreitende Nutzung von Video-on-Demand-Diensten einschranken.

El llamado auge de la visibilidad transgenero no ha sido ajeno a Latinoamerica, ejemplo de ello es el aclamado filme Una mujer fantastica (2017) galardonado con prestigiosos premios en la region y fuera de ella. El presente libro explora dicha visibilidad en la prensa y el cine de Colombia y Venezuela a traves de una metodologia interdisciplinar, interseccional y decolonial. En el, se exploran los estereotipos y estrategias discursivas que la prensa de ambos paises utiliza para construir discursivamente la imagen de las mujeres trans. Ademas, se sostiene que las producciones audiovisuales proponen formas alternativas de representacion, pues en ellas la subjetividad trans es representada de manera compleja donde convergen aspectos sociohistoricos, politicos y economicos.

In Film und Literatur gibt es durch kanonisierte UEberwachungserzahlungen eine Vielzahl von Narrativen der UEberwachung, die in das Alltagswissen ubergegangen sind und die kulturellen Verhandlungen und Vorstellungen von Privatheit und Autonomie pragen. Doch auch in einer Vielzahl von anderen Medien und Diskursen lassen sich Narrative der UEberwachung finden, wie etwa im Computerspiel, in der Werbung, in Dokumentationen oder der Aktionskunst, und nicht zuletzt in der Wissenschaft selbst. Der Band widmet sich Modellierungen von UEberwachung und geht Entwicklungen von Erzahlungen und Diskursen anhand von verschiedenen Beispielen nach. Die interdisziplinaren Perspektiven nehmen dabei auch das Verhaltnis der UEberwachungsnarrative zu Sicherheits-, Privatheits- und Digitalisierungsthemen in den Blick.

Este es el primer libro dedicado en su integridad a las adaptaciones cinematograficas de la comedia aurea. Con el, el Siglodorismo salda una deuda contraida con un patrimonio filmico que hasta fechas muy recientes habia despertado el interes solo de unos pocos. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, la autora analiza diez peliculas y ofrece un recorrido a traves de la historia del cine que permite entender como, durante los ultimos cien anos, lectores de distintas ideologias y naciones se han aproximado al teatro barroco y lo han reescrito a voluntad. Los resultados invitan a reflexionar no solo sobre el poder que poseen las pantallas para dar a conocer (o bien condenar al olvido) un espectaculo que en su dia fue de masas, sino tambien sobre la actitud que deben tomar los especialistas hacia esta clase de producciones.

Die Untersuchung bietet die erste Bestandsaufnahme eines bemerkenswerten Phanomens des politischen Gegenwartstheaters: In den Spielzeiten 2012/13 bis 2017/18 wurden 25 Theatertexte uraufgefuhrt, die sich mit der Verbrechensserie der Terrorgruppe 'Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund' (NSU) befassen. Sie reagieren damit auf Leerstellen der politischen, gesellschaftlichen sowie juristischen Aufarbeitung des NSU. Die Studie untersucht ausgewahlte prototypische Theatertexte von Elfriede Jelinek bis Nuran David Calis und deren Inszenierungen. Der Fokus auf Zeugenschaft als Analyseperspektive verbindet Fragen der Darstellung, wie jene von Angehoerigen der Opfer oder von TaterInnenfiguren, mit Fragen der Rezeption von TheaterzuschauerInnen.
