An auteur and the creator of multiple cinematic universes, James
Wan has become one of the most successful directors in history, his
films breaking box office records worldwide. Yet there is little
scholarship on Wan's work. This collection of new essays fills the
gap with contributions from around the globe offering analysis of
his film and television productions, including Saw (2004), Aquaman
(2018) and The Conjuring Universe franchise, along with less
well-known works like Death Sentence (2007), Dead Silence (2007)
and his pilot for the new MacGyver series. For the first time,
Wan's films are explored in-depth from wide range of critical
perspectives.
Serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, outlaws, and
real-life homicidal maniacs have long held a grim fascination for
both filmmakers and viewers. Since the 1970s, hundreds of films and
television movies have been made covering killer from Charles
Manson to Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer creating a uniquely
morbid sub-genre within horror and thrillers. This collection of
interviews sheds light on 17 filmmakers and screenwriters who
tackled this controversial subject while attempting to explore the
warped world of infamous killers. The interviews include John
McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Tom Hanson (The
Zodiac Killer), David Wickes (Jack the Ripper), Chris Gerolmo
(Citizen X), Chuck Parello (The Hillside Stranglers), David
Jacobson (Dahmer) and Clive Saunders on his ill-fated experience
directing Gacy. Offering candid insights into the creative process
behind these movies, the interviews also show the pitfalls and
moral controversy the filmmakers had to wrestle with to bring their
visions to the screen.

The Book of Wisdom's understanding of Israel's history, of
contemporary politics and of the immortal fate of the persecuted
sage can be understood to be part of one theological system. This
system integrates texts and concepts from Jewish Wisdom, the
biblical narratives of the patriarchs from Adam to Moses,
eschatological hope and apocalyptic language, an understanding of
the spirit of God in the enabling of prophets and leaders and, most
distinctively, the Stoic concept of pneuma. This last concept
unites the biblical resources and allows Wisdom, using
eschatological language, to speak of the ordering of the cosmos for
the judgement for the wicked and the exaltation of God's people in
the present age. Matthew Edwards addresses first the question of
the literary unity of Wisdom. This is followed by an examination of
the differing uses of the term pneuma within Wisdom, that is as
divine agent of salvation, the means of the ordering the cosmos and
the substance from which souls are composed. The nature of personal
salvation within Wisdom is also considered and shown to be an
integral part of the understanding of the cosmos, ordered for
judgement and exaltation. Finally, this notion of the ordering of
the comos and history for God's people is discussed with its
consequences for Jewish life under contemporary Hellenistic and
Roman rule. Prepared as a doctoral dissertation under the direction
of J. Schaper and presented to the University of Aberdeen, this
investigation of the book of Wisdom contends that it uses the Stoic
concept of pneuma to integrate various elements of the Jewish
biblical tradition, including sapiential texts, the narratives of
the patriarchs and the exodus, eschatological hope and apocalyptic
language, and the work of the spirit of God in enabling prophets
and leaders. After dealing with introductory matters concerning the
book of Wisdom and the concepts of pneuma and eschatology within
it, it offers an argument for the theological unity of Wisdom's
different depictions of salvation. Then it discusses how the
miracles of the Exodus-Numbers narrative are understood as workings
of pneuma within the cosmos, and considers how an understanding of
the cosmos as ordered by pneuma might be related to a traditional
Jewish understanding of the world as created. Next after discussing
pneuma, Stoicism, and anthropology, it considers "spirit" in the
biblical tradition (OT, LXX, Philo). Then it treats the realized
eschatology of Wisdom, with reference to personal eschatology,
Hellenistic kingship and wisdom, and providence and fate. Edwards
concludes that Wisdom follows the Hellenistic trend toward the
philosophical explanation of human life by understanding it as set
within a larger cosmic and physical system. New Testament Abstracts

Gabriel Pagnoni Berns, Emilie von Garan, Connor John Warden, and
Sean Woodard The giallo (yellow) film cycle, characterized by its
bloody murders and blending of high art and cinematic sleaze, rose
to prominence in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with Mario
Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) and Dario Argento's The
Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), giallo films influenced the
American slasher films of the 1980s and attracted an increasingly
large fandom. In Bloodstained Narratives: The Giallo Film in Italy
and Abroad, contributors explore understudied aspects of gialli.
The chapters introduce readers to a wide range of films, including
masterpieces from Argento and overlooked gems, all of them examined
in close detail. Rather than understanding giallo as focalized
exclusively in Italy in the 1970s, this collection explores the
extension of gialli narratives abroad through different geographies
and times. This book examines Italian gialli of the 1970s as well
as American neo-gialli, French productions, Canadian horror films
of the 1980s, and Asian rewritings of this "yellow" cycle of
crime/horror films. Bloodstained Narratives also features
interviews with two giallo film directors, including cult favorite
Antonio Bido. Rather than fading from the cinematic stage, gialli
serves as a precursor and steady accomplice to horror-thriller
films through the twenty-first century.

Cicero, Politics, and the 21st Century addresses the West's current
crisis of confidence. Reflecting on how the famed Roman
philosopher-statesmen Marcus Tullius Cicero thought and acted in a
time of great turbulence in the ancient world, this book offers
lessons to 21st century students of politics and statesmen alike.
Cicero's example shows that the survival of liberal democracy
requires us to recover a sense of nobility in politics - a balance
of power, honour, and justice with the pursuit of truth for the
common good. Cicero, Politics, and the 21st Century brings the
reader into the dirty politics of the late Roman Republic and tells
how Cicero rose to the top in this environment. He managed to work
with people who were often diametrically opposed to him, juggling
different power blocks and interest groups, while trying to
implement reforms, all at a time when the state apparatus and
public consensus holding the Republic together were breaking down.
Cicero was able to attain power, all the while maintaining his
integrity and advancing the interests of his people. Additionally,
Cicero and his time bring much needed perspective to our political
thinking by enabling us to examine events through a prism of
assumptions different from those we have inherited from the turmoil
of the 20th century.
The Rwandan genocide remains one of the most controversial and
shameful events of the 20th century. For most Westerners, there
understanding of the genocide has come through the Oscar-winning
film Hotel Rwanda and the critically acclaimed Shooting Dogs. Yet
how accurate are these films in presenting what actually happened
in Rwanda in 1994? How has the genocide been portrayed on film and
why primarily only through a Western perspective that is guilty of
presenting a distorted truth of what went on in Rwanda? This
collection explores a wide variety of feature films and
documentaries associated with the Rwandan Genocide through new
scholarship from a number of writers connected to African and
Genocide studies as it attempts to explore the aftermath of the
genocide and its expression both in Western and Rwandan cinema. The
book also features exclusive interviews with a number of filmmakers
who have made films relating to, or about, the Rwandan Genocide.
The interviewees include investigative journalist Steve Bradshaw on
his trilogy of films for BBC's Panorama, an interview with 100 days
director Nick Hughes (Matthew Edwards), director Lee Isaac Chung on
his film award-winning film Munyurangabo (Matthew Edwards) and an
interviews with Rwandan filmmakers Eric Kabera and Kivu Ruhorahoza.
