Box set containing four films from the popular 'Batman' film series. 'Batman' (1989) was the first big screen outing for Bob Kane's caped crusader. The streets of Gotham City are no longer safe for criminals, who are being picked off by a masked vigilante in a rubber suit - dubbed 'Batman' by the press. Reporter Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl) teams with photographer Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) in an attempt to discover Batman's true identity - an investigation which leads them to the door of mysterious millioniare Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). Meanwhile, crime boss Carl Grissom's (Jack Palance) attempt to rid himself of untrustworthy henchman Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) does not go according to plan, and after emerging physically - and mentally - disfigured from a vat of chemicals, Napier reinvents himself as the psychotic Joker. In 'Batman Returns' (1992), Oswald Cobblepot was abandoned by his parents as a baby. Thirty three years later, bent on revenge, he returns to Gotham City as the Penguin (Danny DeVito). First he begins a warped campaign to become Mayor, helped by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken); next, he undertakes a mission to murder every first born son in Gotham - a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. Meanwhile, he has two adversaries to contend with: Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), the embittered ex-secretary of Max Shreck, and, of course, the old caped crusader himself (Keaton). In 'Batman Forever' (1995), former District Attorney Harvey Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) is terrorising Gotham City, when a new villain appears on the scene - the Riddler (Jim Carrey). Together they plot to discover Batman's (Val Kilmer) identity, using a device which can probe the human mind. Meanwhile, the caped crusader has been joined by Robin (Chris O'Donnell), whose trapeze-artist family have recently been slain by Two-Face. 'Finally, in 'Batman and Robin' (1997), Batman (George Clooney) and Robin (O'Donnell) have to stop the vengeful Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from taking over Gotham City by using his new ice weapon. To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost undefeatable double-whammy of a team. Luckily for the caped crusader and his rebellious ward, they can team up with a new tough and courageous new partner - Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).

What are we doing when taking psychoanalysis from the couch to the analysis of society, culture, and arts? How is it possible to do so? How is it possible to move from singular experiences to universal structures detected in culture and society? Could psychoanalysis applied to art works become more sensitive to their aesthetics form? Psychoanalysis is often disclaimed as non-scientific, since its main object - the unconscious - has no positive existence. This book, however, proposes psychoanalysis to be a "science of the signifier". It takes as its object the signifier - the signifying part of the sign - insisting that it always says more (or less) than intended, because its very materiality carries unintended messages. By defining the object of psychoanalysis as the signifier, this volume argues that we can speak of psychoanalysis as a science, even if it is closer to semiotics than biology. Analysing the Cultural Unconscious builds on this idea by arguing that the analysis of the signifier is the way to understand not only the individual unconscious, but also the cultural one. Replacing a person's monologue on the couch with ideology criticism or a piece of art, applied psychoanalysis allows us to analyse culture and the arts in a new way, uncovering the cultural unconscious.

Five animated adventures from the caped crusader of Gotham City. In 'Leather Wings', the police suspect that Batman is responsible for a horrifying bat creature that is terrorizing Gotham city. Batman must act quickly to clear his name and find the true culprit. The Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum in 'Christmas With the Joker' so that he can host his own deadly TV Christmas Special. In 'Nothing to Fear', Batman must face his deepest fear to defeat Gotham's newest super-villain, the Scarecrow. 'The Last Laugh' sees the Joker threatening Gotham City with a dangerous mind-altering lauging gas. Poison Ivy appears for the first time in 'A Pretty Poison', disguising herself as Pamela Isley to threaten the life of her new 'fiancé' District Attorney Harvey Dent with her deadly embrace, after he unwittingly eradicated a rare flower species several years before.

"Kantian Deeds" revokes and renews the tradition of Kant's moral philosophy. Through a novel reading of contemporary approaches to Kant, Henrik Bjerre draws a new map of the human capacity for morality.
Morality consists of two different abilities that are rarely appreciated at the same time. Human beings are brought up and initiated into a moral culture, which gives them the cognitive mapping necessary to act morally and responsibly. They also, however, acquire an ability to reach beyond that which is considered moral and thus develop an ability to reinterpret or break 'normal' morality.
By drawing on two very different resources in contemporary philosophy - more conservative trends in analytic philosophy and more radical sources in recent works of psychoanalytically informed philosophy - and claiming that they must be read together, "Kantian Deeds" provides a new understanding of what is termed 'the structure of moral revolutions'. Essentially, deeds are revolutionary changes of moral character that can only be performed by such creatures that have acquired one.

A study of Slavoj Zizek's political philosophy. Focusing on the combination of psychoanalytic theory and philosophy, the book offers an overview of Zizek's analysis of contemporary society. In five chapters, the reader is introduced to Zizek's method, his view of the political impasse in the postmodern world, and his suggestion for a way ahead to renewed action and political invention. Rich in examples, the book gives an engaging and entertaining tour around the landscape of Zizek's political endeavour, while at the same time insisting on a more systematic and piecemeal approach than the Slovenian tends to offer himself.

The wholly original arguments, perspectives and research findings in titles in this series make it an important and stimulating resource for students and academics from a range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences.

Ein Riss geht durch die Welt, er trennt Menschen voneinander und lasst die alten Sicherheiten schwinden. Die Dichterinnen und Dichter nehmen ihn wahr und machen ihn in ihren Texten sichtbar. Und sie versuchen mit Worten das festzuhalten, was trotz allem bleibt, was die Menschen wieder zueinander fuhrt und ihnen einen verlasslichen Ort gibt. Schreibend ertraumen sie sich dieses Bleibende und erzahlen von der Suche danach. Unwahrscheinliche Szenarien begegnen uns: Steine erlernen das Fliegen, Kopf und Herz streiten um einen Abschied und nachts klingen geheimnisvolle Melodien im Wald. Einmal marschiert sogar eine Kohorte romischer Soldaten voruber, denen der Dichter zuruft, sie mochten doch schnell nach Hause gehen. Man sollte mehr auf die Dichter horen ...

Es sind besondere Momente im Leben, wenn uns ein Gedicht berhrt. Wenn ein Vers, eine Zeile, ein Wort bis auf den Grund unserer Seele fllt oder unsere Fantasie in ungeahnte Gegenden entfhrt. In der Poesie offenbart sich die Kraft der Sprache wie sonst nirgends. Wie schn, dass es zu allen Zeiten Menschen gibt, die mit dieser Kraft umzugehen verstehen. Die sie zu zhmen wissen, ohne ihr das Eigene zu rauben. Die jedes Wort zum Klingen bringen, so dass beim Lesen eines Gedichtes eine heimliche Melodie entsteht: eine frhliche oderzrtliche, lustige oder wehmtige, spttische und manchmal auch schwermtige Weise. Der Jokers Lyrik-Wettbewerb 2007 hat mehr als 7000 deutschsprachige Dichterinnen und Dichter zu eigenen Texten inspiriert. Die hundert besten Einsendungen sind in dieser Anthologie versammelt. Zusammen ergeben sie eine wunderbare Vielfalt an Themen und sprachlichen Ausdrucksformen. Euterpe, die Muse der Lyrik, hat freigebig ihren Stift gereicht.
