Featuring a lineup of distinguished academics, this collection
remedies the absence of scholarly attention to French cinematic
legend Isabelle Huppert. This volume deconstructs Huppert’s star
persona and public profile through critical and theoretical
analysis of her various screen roles—from her very early
appearances alongside Romy Schneider in César et Rosalie (Sautet,
1972) and Gérard Depardieu in Les Valseuses (1974) to a number of
celebrated collaborations with high-profile European auteurs such
as Catherine Breillat, Claire Denis, Jean-Luc Godard, Michael
Haneke and Joseph Losey, and with more popular auteurs such as
Claude Chabrol and François Ozon. Known for a cerebral
internalization of characterization, a technical mastery of extreme
emotions, and a singular brand of icy intellectualism, Huppert’s
performances continue to impress, stun and surprise audiences. By
focusing on several theoretical questions that relate to image,
identity, sexuality and place, this volume situates Huppert’s
star persona in the more practical creative contexts of
performance, authorship, genre and collaboration. This volume
contrasts complementary critical accounts of her stardom by working
across the different periods and territories of her career.
A field guide to the trade and art of editing, this book pulls back
the curtain on the day-to-day responsibilities of a literary
magazine editor in their role, and to the specific skills necessary
to read, mark-up and transform a piece of writing. Combining a
break-down of an editor's tasks - including creating a vision,
acquisitions, responding to submissions and corresponding with
authors - with a behind-the-scenes look at manuscripts in progress,
the book rounds up with a test editing section that teaches, by way
of engaging exercises, the nitty-gritty strategies and techniques
for working on all kinds of texts. Generous in its insight and
access to practicing editors' annotations and thought processes,
The Invisible Art of Literary Editing offers an exclusive look at
nonfiction, fiction and poetry manuscripts as they were first
submitted, as they were marked up by an editor and how the final
piece was presented before featuring an interview with the editor
on the choices they made about that piece of work, as well as their
philosophies and working practices in their job. As a skill and a
trade learnt through practice and apprenticeship, this is the
ultimate companion to editing any piece of work, offering
opportunities for learning-by-doing through exercises, reflections
and cases studies, and inviting readers to embody the role of an
editor to improve their craft and demystify the processes involved
in this exciting and highly coveted profession.
University literary journals allow students to create their own

Today, a variety of gender-based threats and discrimination
continue to characterize journalism. Both male and female

sexism, and gender-based violence, this book is ideal for
journalists, reporters, media organizations, professionals,
researchers, academicians, and students working or studying in the
fields of journalism, media and communications, human rights, and
women's studies.
