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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lyric essayists draw on memoir, poetry, and prose to push against the arbitrary genre restrictions in creative nonfiction, opening up space not only for new forms of writing, but also new voices and a new literary canon. This anthology features some of the best lyric essays published in the last several years by prominent and emerging writers. Editors Zoe Bossiere and Erica Trabold situate this anthology within the ongoing work of resistance-to genre convention, literary tradition, and the confines of dominant-culture spaces. As sites of resistance, these essays are diverse and include investigations into deeply personal and political topics such as queer and trans identity, the American BIPOC experience, reproductive justice, belonging, grief, and more. The lyric essay is always surprising; it is bold, unbound, and free. This collection highlights the lyric essay's natural capacity for representation and resistance and celebrates the form as a subversive genre that offers a mode of expression for marginalized voices. The Lyric Essay as Resistance features contemporary work by essayists including Melissa Febos, Wendy S. Walters, Torrey Peters, Jenny Boully, Crystal Wilkinson, Elissa Washuta, Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, and many more. Their work demonstrates the power of the lyric essay to bring about change, both on the page and in our communities.

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.

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.

Off the Page examines the business and craft of screenwriting in the era of media convergence. Bernardi and Hoxter use the recent history of screenwriting labor coupled with close analysis of the screenwriting para-industry-from "how to write a winning script" books to screenwriting software-to explore the state of screenwriting throughout the US media industries. They address the conglomerate studios making tentpole movies, expanded television, Indiewood, independent animation, microbudget scripting, the video games industry, and online content creation. This book is designed to be used by students and writers who want to understand what studios want and why they want it, but also how scripting is developing in the convergent media, beneath and beyond the Hollywood tent-pole. By addressing specific genres old and new, across a wide range of media, this essential volume sets the standard for anyone in the expanded screenwriting industry and the scholars that study it.
