Economic Crime - From Conception to Response (Paperback): Mark Button, Branislav Hock, David Shepherd Economic Crime - From Conception to Response (Paperback)
Mark Button, Branislav Hock, David Shepherd
R1,169 Discovery Miles 11 690 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book offers a fresh approach to a range of pressing issues, emphasising the value of establishing economic crime as a sub-discipline within criminology. This will be essential reading for a range of more applied graduate courses across the UK and Europe on counter-fraud, money laundering, corruption, security management and financial crime investigation. Given the prominence of 'economic crime' amongst police forces, law enforcement agencies and government, this book has a secondary market amongst practitioners.

R1,478 Discovery Miles 14 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This study analyses the causes of British manufacturing investment overseas, focusing primarily on the period from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s. During these years there were significant changes in UK direct investment and this book represented the first major analysis of these changes based on detailed case studies of British international firms. The early chapters assess the available statistical evidence and the theories of overseas investment that had hitherto been put forward. The authors emphasize the need for recognizing the dynamic and varied nature of firms and the relevance of their historical development in order to understand business decision-making. Through a detailed consideration of the activities of a large sample of companies, the book explains why they manufacture abroad and assesses the overall consequences for the British economy of its overseas investment.

The Silents of Jesus in the Cinema (1897-1927) (Paperback): David Shepherd The Silents of Jesus in the Cinema (1897-1927) (Paperback)
David Shepherd
R1,301 Discovery Miles 13 010 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While Jesus has attracted the sporadic interest of film-makers since the epics of the Sixties, it is often forgotten that between the advent of motion pictures in the 1890s and the close of the "silent" era at the end of the 1920s, some of the longest, most expensive and most watched films on both sides of the Atlantic were focused on the Life and Passion of the Christ. Drawing upon rarely seen archival footage and the work of both the era's most important directors (e.g. Alice Guy, Ferdinand Zecca, Sidney Olcott, D.W. Griffith, Carl Dreyer, and C.B. DeMille) and others who have been all but forgotten, this collection of essays offers a representative survey of the Silents of Jesus, illustrating the ways in which the earliest films and those which followed were influenced by a multiplicity of factors. Written by leading scholars in biblical and early film studies this collection explores the ways in which the Silents of Jesus were shaped not only by the performing and visual arts of the nineteenth century and the technological challenges and opportunities of a new medium and industry, but also by the artistic, theological and ideological predilections of studios and directors, and the expectations of audiences as the genre evolved. Taken together, the essays collected here offer a seminal treatment of the genesis and early evolution of the cinematic Jesus.

R1,538 Discovery Miles 15 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

It has seemed at times that there is no neutral territory between those who see Bakhtin as the practitioner of a kind of neo-Marxist, or at least materialist, deconstruction and those who look at the same texts and see a defender of traditional, liberal humanist values and classical conceptions of order, a conservative in the true sense of the term. Arising from a conference under the same title held at Texas Tech University, Carnivalizing Difference seeks to explore the actual and possible relationships between Bakhtinian theory and cultural practice. The introduction explores the changing configurations of our understanding of Bakhtin's work in the context of recent theory and outlines how that understanding can inform, and be informed by, culture both ancient and modern. Eleven articles, spanning a wide range of periods and cultural forms, then address these issues in detail, revealing the ways in which Bakhtinian thought illuminates, sometimes obfuscates, but always challenges.

The fourteen essays collected in this volume, notwithstanding their diversity of subject matter and approach, share a concern with the contexts to which we need to refer in order to understand not only the origins, but also the potential of Mikhail Bakhtin's thought: contexts both immediate and oblique, personal and impersonal, intellectual and theoretical.

The Russian philosopher and cultural theorist Mikhail Bakhtin has traditionally been seen as the leading figure in the group of intellectuals known as the Bakhtin Circle. The writings of other members of the Circle, when not attributed to Bakhtin himself, are considered much less important than his work. However, Bakhtin's achievement has been exaggerated in proportion to the downgrading of the thinkers with whom he associated in the 1920s. most important members of the Bakhtin Circle, sets out to correct the distortions in the established representations of its activity. The original contributions to literary and linguistic theory made by Valentin Voloshinov and Pavel Medvedev (but frequently credited to Bakhtin) are assessed, and the distinctiveness of their approaches is highlighted. The works and careers of less well-known members of the Circle, such as Lev Pumpianskii, Matvei Kagan, Ivan Kanaev and Ivan Sollertinskii, are also introduced. The Bakhtin Circle emerges from this reconsideration not as a set of followers or disciplines of one central figure, but as a dynamic confederation of independent thinkers. field of Bakhtin studies. It also makes available translations of key works by Voloshinov, Medvedev, Kagan and Pumpianskii. It should be a valuable point of reference for anyone interested in the trajectories of Russian thought and in the development of cultural theory in the 20th century.

R4,997 Discovery Miles 49 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Although metafiction has been the subject of much critical and theoretical writing, this is the first full-length study of its place in Soviet literature. Focusing on metafictional works by Leonid Leonov, Marietta Shaginyan, Konstantin Vaginov, and Veniamin Kaverin, it examines, within a broadly Bakhtinian theoretical framework, the relationship between their self-consciousness and their cultural and political context. The texts are shown to challenge notions about the nature and function of literature fundamental to both Soviet and Anglo-American criticism. In particular, although metafictional strategies may seem designed to confirm assumptions about the aesthetic autonomy of the literary text, their effect is to reveal the shortcomings of such assumptions. The texts discussed take us beyond conventional understandings of metafiction by highlighting the need for a theoretically informed account of the history and reception of Soviet literature in which the inescapability of politics and ideology is no longer acknowledged grudgingly, but is instead celebrated.

David Shepherd
R3,113 Discovery Miles 31 130 Out of stock

"Images of the Word: Hollywood's Bible and Beyond" is a collection of essays by leading international scholars in the field of Bible and film. Recognizing the increasingly global nature of both media and religion, the volume focuses on the ways in which the Bible is interpreted and visualized not only within Hollywood but also far beyond it. Cutting-edge analysis of films from France, Canada, Sweden, India, and elsewhere reveals that the Bible's visualization is culturally rooted and contributes to the shaping of a particular culture, including its perception of the Bible itself.Essays range across the canon from "Exodus" to "Ecclesiastes" to "Revelation", interacting with films of various national traditions and periods from Blackton's "Life of Moses" (1909) to "Karunamayudu" (1978) to Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" (1999). The volume engages the breadth of current scholarly interest in this interdisciplinary field, including the critical reading of 'Bible films', the exploration of biblical motifs and themes within contemporary cinema, and concluding responses to the essays from both a biblical scholar and a film scholar. Paperback to this edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature.
