Corporate espionage thriller starring Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman
and Harrison Ford. Brooklyn-born Adam (Hemsworth) is a young
employee of a large technological firm run by the demanding CEO
Nicolas Wyatt (Oldman). When his idea for the next generation of
mobile phones gets rejected, Adam loses his job and the only means
of supporting his ailing father. Left with nothing, he seeks pity
from Wyatt. Seeing an opportunity of outdoing his old mentor and
head of a rival firm, Jock Goddard (Ford), Wyatt employs Adam to
infiltrate the other corporation in order to steal their secrets.
Adam reluctantly accepts, but will the stresses of living a double
life become too much for him to handle?
In The Golden Age Jonathan Kent is back from the 31st century and
fighting cosmic threats alongside his legendary father, Clark Kent.
But when an interdimensional breach opens near Earth, Jon
recognises the creatures that emerge: the cosmic leviathans that
the Legion of Super-Heroes credits with the death of Superman! As
Superboy desperately tries to save Superman s life from the
leviathans of the breach, Superman discovers the breach s shocking
origins. But with his powers mysteriously fading, he is utterly
outmatched. Can Superboy change the course of history and save his
father s life? Collects Action Comics #1029 and Superman #29-32.
Posing a powerful challenge to dominant trends in cultural
analysis, this book covers the whole history of the concept of
culture, providing the broadest study of this notion to date.
Johnson and Michaelsen examine the principal methodological
strategies or metaphors of anthropology in the past two decades
(embodied in works by Edward Said, James Clifford, George Marcus,
V. Y. Mudimbe, and others) and argues that they do not manage to
escape anthropologyas grounding in representational practices. To
the extent that it remains a practice of representation,
anthropology, however complex, critical, or self-reflexive, cannot
avoid objectifying its others.Extending beyond a critique of
anthropology, the book reads the twinned notions of the human and
culture across the long history of the human sciences broadly
conceived, including anthropology, cultural studies, history,
literature, and philosophy. Although there is no chance, they
argue, for a anewa anthropology that would not repeat the old
anthropologyas problem of disciplining the other, they also
recognize that there may be no way out of anthropology. We are
always writing, thinking, and living in anthropologyas wake, within
its specific compass or horizon. Moreover, they demonstrate, we
have been doing so for a very long time, since at least the
beginning of the institution of philosophy in Plato and Aristotle.
