Die Studie bearbeitet ein Kapitel der Dokumentarfilmgeschichte der ehemaligen DDR. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das noch weitgehend unbekannte dokumentarische Werk des Regisseurs Eduard Schreiber vor und nach 1989. Anhand der beiden Dokumentarfilme Abhangig (1983) und Ruckfallig (1988) liefert der Autor eine filmgeschichtliche Mikrostudie zu den visuellen, kunstlerischen und rhetorischen Strategien sowie den konkreten Produktions-, Zensur- und Rezeptionskontexten. Vor dem Hintergrund der ostdeutschen Sozialgeschichte, Kulturpolitik und OEffentlichkeit sowie der internationalen Entwicklung in der dokumentarischen Filmreprasentation richtet er ein besonderes Augenmerk auf den nicht-fiktionalen Umgang mit der Alkoholismusthematik. Ein Interview mit dem Regisseur, eine detaillierte Filmografie sowie ein umfangreicher Quellenapparat zum DDR-Dokumentarfilm runden den Band ab.

Tradition in Creative Writing: Finding Inspiration Through Your Roots encourages writers to rediscover sources of creativity in the everyday, showing students how to see your writing as connected to your life. Adrian May addresses a key question for many beginning writers: Where do you get your ideas from? May argues that tradition does not mean anti-progress-but is instead a kind of hidden wealth that stems from literary and historical traditions, folk and songs, self and nature, and community. By drawing on these personal and traditional wellsprings of inspiration, writers will learn to see their writing as part of a greater continuum of influences and view their work as having innate value as part of that cultural and artistic ecology. Each chapter includes accessible discussion, literary and critical readings, creative examples, and writing exercises. While the creative examples are drawn from song lyrics and poetry, the writing exercises are appropriate for all genres. Undergraduates and practitioners will benefit from this guide to finding originality in writing through exploring sources of creative inspiration.

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.

Este libro recoge una serie de entrevistas y encuentros con mujeres cineastas del siglo XXI cuyas voces estan redibujando la cinematografia nacional, a menudo, desde los margenes de la industria. La introduccion perfila el contexto de esta emergencia y las principales lineas discursivas, subrayando el surgimiento de redes mas o menos formales que permiten pensarse de manera colectiva. Las entrevistas, realizadas por especialistas en cine espanol y acompanadas de retratos ex profeso, exploran sus trayectorias laborales y vitales, sus aportaciones artisticas y las particularidades del quehacer filmico en clave de genero. Las experiencias de creadoras diversas --cuya obra se adscribe a la ficcion, el documental y la animacion-- ofrecen una mirada poliedrica y descentrada al cine contemporaneo.

Pepe Carvalho, el singular detective creado por Manuel Vazquez Montalban, ha sido el personaje literario mas adaptado por los medios audiovisuales espanoles desde la reinstauracion de la democracia. Durante el periodo 1976-2005 ha sido objeto de tres peliculas, una serie de television y once telefilmes. Fuertemente connotado ideologicamente por su autor, su vida literaria, pero tambien la audiovisual, se entrecruza con los cambios de la sociedad espanola. Este libro propone, a traves del exhaustivo estudio de las diferentes adaptaciones de Carvalho, un analisis de como el cine y la television han recogido e intervenido en dichos cambios, basandose en tres ejes: el politico, el cultural y el espacial.

Gender and Prestige in Literature: Contemporary Australian Book Culture explores the relationship between gender, power, reputation and book publishing's consecratory institutions in the Australian literary field from 1965-2015. Focusing on book reviews, literary festivals and literary prizes, this work analyses the ways in which these institutions exist in an increasingly cooperative and generative relationship in the contemporary publishing industry, a system designed to limit field transformation. Taking an intersectional approach, this research acknowledges that a number of factors in addition to gender may influence the reception of an author or a title in the literary field and finds that progress towards equality is unstable and non-linear. By combining quantitative data analysis with interviews from authors, editors, critics, publishers and prize judges Alexandra Dane maps the circulation of prestige in Australian publishing, addressing questions around gender, identity, literary reputation, literary worth and the resilience of the status quo that have long plagued the field.

Ausgangspunkt des Buchs ist der Wahlsieg der Labour Party unter Clement Attlee im Jahr 1945. Es analysiert die Auseinandersetzung mit der Labour Party im britischen Buhnendrama, Fernsehspiel und im Film ab diesem Zeitpunkt. Die Labour Party stand ursprunglich fur die Belange der working class ein, wandelte sich spatestens infolge von Tony Blairs New Labour Politik aber zu einer Partei der Mitte. Der Band untersucht, ob und ab welchem Punkt linksorientierte Schriftsteller eine solche Entwicklung kritisieren, und orientiert sich dabei methodisch an den Herangehensweisen des New Historicism und des Cultural Materialism. Erkennbar ist eine kritische Einstellung der Dramen-/Drehbuchautoren, die in spateren Werken konstruktiver und teils milder ausfallt.

Screenplays ... How to Write and Sell Them is an accessible yet comprehensive book aimed at those with a keen interest in writing feature film screenplays. Using case studies, creative exercises and interviews from the industry, the book will guide readers through the necessary stages of writing a screenplay, from finding and developing ideas to creating and executing characters to shaping structure and constructing scenes.

The book's approach is both creative and reflective, giving readers the opportunity to learn a wealth of creative skills alongside skills that will encourage them to think about themselves as writers and the work that they are developing. As such, the book will empower readers in their own creative processes and allow them to successfully tell the stories they want to tell. Rich with analyses from classic and contemporary films, littered with practical models, paradigms and creative tasks, and enhanced by the views of key industry figures, the book is a must for any aspiring feature film screenwriter.

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.

Se analizan en esta obra formas de "insolencia" o reivindicacion femenina en la cultura hispana desde distintos enfoques, examinando temas como la identidad, el silenciamiento, la memoria historica, la desactivacion de estereotipos y la violencia de genero. Se estudian voces femeninas del Siglo de Oro espanol, como las intelectuales religiosas sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda y sor Marcela de San Felix, la prensa de mujeres de ambos lados del Atlantico durante las primeras decadas del siglo XIX y, dentro del siglo XX, obras y autoras que se situan en la II Republica y la epoca de Franco: Mercedes Ballesteros, Josefina de la Torre, Carmen de Icaza, Mercedes Formica y Josefina Rodriguez Aldecoa. Tambien, se dedican capitulos a la obra de escritoras nacidas entre los anos 40-60, como Amelia Diaz Benlliure, Mar Busquets-Mataix, Albis Torres, Ana Sofia Perez-Bustamante y Daisy Zamora. Se incluyen, ademas, artistas y formas expresivas recientes: la rapera y activista guatemalteca Rebeca Lane, humoristas espanolas que usan el tabu como elemento subversivo, escritoras chicanas que analizan el racismo en sus diferentes formas, y creadoras de fotolibros con sus representaciones del cuerpo femenino.

LATINAS EN LOS MARGENES aspira a contribuir a la comprension del genero de la autobiografia visual como medio de expresion y reivindicacion del yo que ofrece a las artistas de minorias la oportunidad de definirse a si mismas. A traves de narrativas personales, peliculas, fotografias, obras de arte y producciones digitales, estas obras exploran temas como la homofobia, la identidad politica, la soberania nativa, la maternidad, la identidad lesbiana y diferentes identidades culturales minoritarias. Las diferentes historias visuales analizan los diferentes matices de la identidad racial y sexual de mujeres que a menudo se perciben como forasteras dentro de su propio pais. Estos grupos marginados invitan a los lectores a desarrollar nuevas formas de dialogos, practicas y alianzas transculturales.

Winner of the Working-Class Studies Association's "Jake Ryan and Charles Sackrey Award for a Book about the Working-Class Academic Experience" This collection by three generations of women from predominantly working-class backgrounds explores the production of the classed, gendered and racialized subject with powerful, engaging, funny and moving stories of transitions through family relationships, education, friendships and work. The developments that take place across a life in processes of 'becoming' are examined through the fifteen autoethnographies that form the core of the book, set within an elaboration of the social, educational and geo-political developments that constitute the backdrop to contributors' lives. Clever Girls discusses the status of personal experience as 'research data' and the memory work that goes into the making of autoethnography-as-poiesis. The collection illustrates the huge potential of autoethnography as research method, mode of inquiry and creative practice to illuminate the specificities and commonalities of experiences of growing up as 'clever girls' and to sound a 'call to action' against inequality and discrimination.

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.

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. Der Autor zeigt auf, wie dieses Regulierungsproblem von der VO (EU) 2017/1128 zur grenzuberschreitenden Portabilitat von Online-Inhaltediensten im Binnenmarkt partiell geloest wird. Dabei widmet er sich zunachst der Frage, wie die Vorgaben dieser Verordnung zu handhaben sind, um einen angemessenen Ausgleich zwischen den Interessen aller beteiligten Akteure zu gewahrleisten. Anschliessend bettet er die Verordnung in einen vertragsrechtlichen Rahmen ein, der sowohl nationale als auch unionsrechtliche Vorgaben berucksichtigt.

This book presents the innovative pedagogy of Writing Fantasy: a method for exploring and shifting one's identity as a writer. The book draws on qualitative research with undergraduate creative writing students and fills a gap in the literature exploring creative writing pedagogy and creative writing exercises. Based on the potential to shift writer identity through creative writing exercises and the common ground that these share with the stance of the Lacanian analyst, the author provides a set of guidelines, exercises and case studies to trace writing fantasy, evidenced in one's creative writing texts and responses about creative writing. This innovative work offers fresh insights for scholars of creativity, Lacan and psychosocial studies, and a valuable new resource for students and teachers of creative writing.

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.
