In 1942, Bill Manbo (1908-1992) and his family were forced from their Hollywood home into the Japanese American internment camp at Heart Mountain in Wyoming. While there, Manbo documented both the bleakness and beauty of his surroundings, using Kodachrome film, a technology then just seven years old, to capture community celebrations and to record his family's struggle to maintain a normal life under the harsh conditions of racial imprisonment. Colors of Confinement showcases sixty-five stunning images from this extremely rare collection of color photographs, presented along with three interpretive essays by leading scholars and a reflective, personal essay by a former Heart Mountain internee. The subjects of these haunting photos are the routine fare of an amateur photographer: parades, cultural events, people at play, Manbo's son. But the images are set against the backdrop of the barbed-wire enclosure surrounding the Heart Mountain Relocation Center and the dramatic expanse of Wyoming sky and landscape. The accompanying essays illuminate these scenes as they trace a tumultuous history unfolding just beyond the camera's lens, giving readers insight into Japanese American cultural life and the stark realities of life in the camps. Also contributing to the book are: Jasmine Alinder is associate professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she coordinates the program in public history. In 2009 she published Moving Images: Photography and the Japanese American Incarceration (University of Illinois Press). She has also published articles and essays on photography and incarceration, including one on the work of contemporary photographer Patrick Nagatani in the newly released catalog Desire for Magic: Patrick Nagatani--Works, 1976-2006 (University of New Mexico Art Museum, 2009). She is currently working on a book on photography and the law. Lon Kurashige is associate professor of history and American studies and ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His scholarship focuses on racial ideologies, politics of identity, emigration and immigration, historiography, cultural enactments, and social reproduction, particularly as they pertain to Asians in the United States. His exploration of Japanese American assimilation and cultural retention, Japanese American Celebration and Conflict: A History of Ethnic Identity and Festival, 1934-1990 (University of California Press, 2002), won the History Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies in 2004. He has published essays and reviews on the incarceration of Japanese Americans and has coedited with Alice Yang Murray an anthology of documents and essays, Major Problems in Asian American History (Cengage, 2003). Bacon Sakatani was born to immigrant Japanese parents in El Monte, California, twenty miles east of Los Angeles, in 1929. From the first through the fifth grade, he attended a segregated school for Hispanics and Japanese. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, his family was confined at Pomona Assembly Center and then later transferred to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming. When the war ended in 1945, his family relocated to Idaho and then returned to California. He graduated from Mount San Antonio Community College. Soon after the Korean War began, he served with the U.S. Army Engineers in Korea. He held a variety of jobs but learned computer programming and retired from that career in 1992. He has been active in Heart Mountain camp activities and with the Japanese American Korean War Veterans.

Photographer O. N. Pruitt (1891-1967) was for some forty years the de facto documentarian of Lowndes County, Mississippi, and its county seat, Columbus--known to locals as "Possum Town." His body of work recalls many FSA photographers, but Pruitt was not an outsider with an agenda; he was a community member with intimate knowledge of the town and its residents. He photographed his fellow White citizens and Black ones as well, in circumstances ranging from the mundane to the horrific: family picnics, parades, river baptisms, carnivals, fires, funerals, two of Mississippi's last public and legal executions by hanging, and most grimly, a lynching. From formal portraits to candid images of events in the moment, Pruitt's documentary of a specific yet representative southern town offers viewers today an invitation to meditate on the vexing interrelations of photography, community, race, and historical memory. Columbus native Berkley Hudson was photographed by Pruitt, and for more than three decades he has considered and curated Pruitt's expansive archive, both as a scholar of media and visual journalism and as a community member. This stunning book presents Pruitt's photography as never before, combining more than 150 images with a biographical introduction and Hudson's short essays and reflective captions on subjects such as religion and racial violence, small-town work-life and entertainment, and the idea of visual legacy as linked to historical memory.

ber homosexuelle Frauen gibt es auffallend wenig Quellen. Historisch gesehen existieren fast nur Texte ber m nnliche Homosexualit t, wohingegen eine lesbische Lebensweise kaum registriert wurde. Auch heutzutage scheint die weibliche Homosexualit t beinahe unsichtbar zu sein. Obwohl es Frauen gibt, die sich zu Frauen hingezogen f hlen, obwohl es sie wohl immer gegeben hat, sind sie in der ffentlichkeit so gut wie nicht pr sent. Die Folge davon sind zahlreiche Vorurteile und Klischees. Wirft man einen Blick auf die Welt der Spielfilme, in denen weibliche Homosexualit t thematisch involviert ist, l sst sich schnell feststellen, dass die Inszenierung lesbischer Pr senz deutlich homogen erscheint. Immer wieder wird auf die gleichen Darstellungsmethoden zur ckgegriffen, sobald weibliche Homosexualit t filmisch in Szene gesetzt wird. Die Umsetzung endet dabei in einer F lle von Ablehnungsreaktionen gegen ber lesbischen Frauen, vielen m nnlich auftretenden Frauen, zahlreichen Femmes fatales und noch mehr integrierten M nnern in einer eigentlich lesbischen love story. Konkretisiert werden kann das nur an den Filmen selbst. Und Beispiele lassen sich dabei sowohl in unterschiedlichen Entstehungszeiten, Kulturen, als auch Genres finden. Denn das 'lesbische Filmschema' beginnt in 'Die B chse der Pandora' und setzt sich bis in die heutige Zeit fort. brig bleibt die Frage, ob sich die mangelnde lesbische Pr senz in der ffentlichkeit als Antwort f r die stereotype Inszenierung von weiblicher Homosexualit t herausstellen kann.

Wie produziert man einen wirtschaftlich erfolgreichen Kinofilm? Gerade einmal 20 bis 30 gro e Filmproduktionen stellen im Jahr, etwa drei bis acht Kinofilme und knapp ein dutzend TV-Filme her. Die meisten anderen Produktionsfirmen konkurrieren auf dem Low- Budget- Markt miteinander. Das berleben vieler Firmen korreliert somit nicht selten mit dem Erfolg einzelner Filmprojekte. Wer sich bei einer derart hohen Wettbewerbsintensit t auf dem nationalen und internationalen Filmmarkt behaupten will, kommt nicht umhin sich der Frage zu stellen, warum manche Filme erfolgreicher sind als andere. Vor diesem Hintergrund will dieses Kompendium, angehenden Filmemachern und Produktionsstudenten, hilfreiche Tipps und Anregungen liefern, wie mit einem deutschen Kinofilm kommerzieller Erfolg im Vorfeld strategisch geplant werden kann. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde dabei auf die Themen Dramaturgie, Finanzierungssysteme und Marketing gelegt. Viele Aspekte dienen vornehmlich als Denkansto . Andere, die in diesem Kontext besonders wichtig erscheinen, werden ausf hrlich analysiert. Zahlreiche Filmbeispiele helfen zudem, die jeweils wesentlichen Punkte zu veranschaulichen. F r das Kapitel Stoffentwicklung" wird exemplarisch der Film Hexe Lilli - Der Drache und das magische Buch" (DE/AT/ES/IT 2009) herangezogen. Zum einen orientiert sich dieser beispielhaft an Voglers Heldenreise," mithilfe derer, dramaturgische Stationen und Wendepunkte leicht nachvollzogen werden k nnen. Zum anderen ist Hexe Lilli" als Kinderfilm, wie in dem gleichnamigen Unterkapitel genauer erl utert wird, f r einen wirtschaftlichen Erfolg geradezu pr destiniert. Grundlagen f r dieses Buch sind, neben umfangreichen Literatur- und Internetrecherchen, vor allem die Sichtung unz hliger Kinofilme, sowie verschiedene Gespr che und Interviews mit Brancheninternen.

Der stereoskopische 3D-Film erlebt derzeit im Kino dank der Fortschritte der digitalen Filmtechnologie eine Renaissance. Im Unterschied zu den ersten Anl ufen kann der digitale Film in 3D heute eine r umliche Darstellung ohne Nebenwirkungen der analogen Filmtechnologie, wie etwa Farbuntreue, Synchronisationsprobleme, Irritationen und Kopfschmerzen bei der Betrachtung l ngerer Filme bieten. Filme wie Avatar" von James Cameron oder Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" von Regisseur David Yates lockten weltweit ein Millionenpublikum ins Kino und stellten neue Allzeitrekorde an den Kinokassen auf. Sechs der zehn umsatzst rksten Kinofilme aller Zeiten (nicht inflationsbereinigt) sind auch in 3D-Versionen im Kino erschienen. Die Kinobesucher sind derzeit (noch) bereit einen bis zu 50prozentigen Preisaufschlag f r die 3D-Kinotickets im Vergleich zu herk mmlichen 2D-Vorstellungen zu zahlen. Demnach konnten am nordamerikanischen Markt im Jahr 2010 mit 25 3DNeuerscheinungen bereits 21 Prozent der gesamten Bruttoerl se an der Kinokasse erzielt werden. F r 2012 werden 69 Projekte erwartet. Branchenkenner erwarten zwar, dass sich das starke Wachstum nach 2012 etwas einbremsen sollte, weil der Neuigkeitseffekt rasch verpufft, und viele Trittbrettfahrer mit minderwertigen, oft erst nachtr glich umgewandelten 3D-Filmen den Markt berschwemmen. Dennoch sollte sich laut Medienexperten der stereoskopische Film vor allem auch durch den Druck der Heimkino-Industrie, die in 3DGer ten einen neuen Absatzmarkt sieht, und der Fernsehstationen in den n chsten Jahren als Erg nzung zu herk mmlichen" 2DFilmen nachhaltig etablieren k nnen. Auch von Seiten der Kinobetreiber besteht gro e Nachfrage nach 3DFilmen, um die derzeit voran getriebene kostenintensive Digitalisierung der Kinos le refinanzieren zu k nnen. Das vorliegende Buch besch ftigt sich mit der Frage, ob das Angebot bzw. die Herstellung von stereoskopischen Werbe- und Wirtschaftsfilmen anhand existierender 3D-Technologien a

Kommunikation ist die Basis, die unsere Gesellschaft zusammenh lt und Medien bestimmen den Modus gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation weitgehend mit. Um eine erfolgreiche Kommunikation und somit den Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft gew hrleisten zu k nnen, m ssen Medien bestimmte Funktionen erf llen. Hierzu z hlt auch die politische Funktion, die neben u.a. der Kritik- und Kontrollaufgabe vor allem die wichtige Aufgabe der Herstellung von, ffentlichkeit' bedeutet. Demzufolge sollen Medien durch die ausgewogene und alle Interessen vertretende Darbietung von Information sowie die Gew hrleistung von Orientierung ffentlichkeit, also eine interaktive Plattform des Austauschs, gew hrleisten und so der Gesellschaft die Partizipation an demokratischen Diskursen erm glichen. Da ffentlichkeit berdies stets an die Mittel ihrer Herstellung gebunden ist, findet durch die zunehmende Etablierung neuer Medientechnologien zurzeit nicht nur ein Wandel innerhalb der Medien-, sondern auch innerhalb der ffentlichkeitsstrukturen statt, der die Bedingungen einer Partizipation ma geblich ver ndert. So etablieren sich zunehmend neue mediale Formen, die im Sinne privater Vermittlungsinstanzen ein Pendant zu den bestehenden, vorwiegend hierarchisch gepr gten Medienstrukturen begr nden - wie beispielsweise das Internet. Der mit dieser Entwicklung einhergehende, zunehmende Wegfall von Produktions- und Distributionsbarrieren er ffnet somit vermehrt auch jenen die M glichkeit der Produktion und ffentlichmachung partikularer Interessen, denen dies bisher verwehrt blieb. Dies hat aber zur Folge, dass sich neue mediale Formen zunehmend von, professionellen' Qualit tsanspr chen, wie beispielsweise der neutralen Beobachtung oder der kontextualisierten Aufarbeitung von Informationen, distanzieren und stattdessen die Vertretung subjektiver Interessen sowie explizit definierter Standpunkte in den Vordergrund r ckt. Zunehmend werden soziale und politische Interessen anwaltschaftlich und im Sinne eines zune

Das Horrorgenre ist eines der umstrittensten Genres der Filmgeschichte und fuhrt seither immer wieder zu Diskussionen in der Medienwelt. Doch ein seit vielen Jahrzehnten bestandiges Sub Genre ist den meisten Konsumenten unbekannt: Die Horrorserie. Seit Beginn des Fernsehens verschlagt es das Horrorgenre immer wieder auf die heimischen Bildschirme. Das vorliegende Werk thematisiert die Entwicklung und Veranderung dieses Genres in Serien und listet die wichtigsten Vertreter der Geschichte der Horrorserie auf. Dem Leser soll ein Uberblick uber die verschiedenen Aspekte, die in Zusammenhang mit dem Thema Horror und Serie aufkommen, gegeben werden. Die Grundfrage, mit der sich diese Studie befasst, ist, ob die moderne Horrorserie nur eine harmlose Variante des Horrorfilms ist, was anhand einer Funktionsanalyse am Beispiel der Serie The Walking Dead genauer untersucht wird. Die zweite Frage, der sich diese Untersuchung annimmt, beschaftigt sich mit der Veroffentlichung von Horrorserien auf dem deutschen Markt. Eine Datenbankanalyse der DVD-Veroffentlichungen und Fernsehausstrahlungen von Horrorserien in Deutschland soll Aufschluss daruber geben, ob dieses Genre verhaltnismassig viel von Zensuren betroffen ist
