Collaborative practices are in the very nature of theatre. One of the most thriving, vibrant and exciting theatre cultures in the world is Brazil, offering plurality of various forms of theatrical expression. Brazilian Collaborative Theatre provides the collection of fifteen interviews with the leading contemporary theater directors, performers and choreographers and their respective groups, investigating their creative approaches and experiences of theatre making processes. We explore the cultural landscape that constitutes present day collaborative theatre in Brazil, in which practitioners are concerned with the very real questions; such as how theater is created and produced, for which audiences and through which models of cultural production? Within the Brazilian performing arts and cultural context, this book of interviews is unique as it brings voices of most established and prolific creators in present day Brazilian arts theatre scene. It also looks closely at autonomous performance and authorial staging and goes beyond text and playwright and examines the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of theatre that predominated from the 1980s into the following decades. The main aim of the book is to offer new knowledge on present-day performing arts in Brazil, key artists and their companies that can have wildly influence on other cultures, creators and the audiences alike.

Diese Studie analysiert aus komparativer Perspektive die Filmkultur in Spanien und der DDR zur Zeit der Neuen Kinos. Fern von klassischen westeuropaischen Zentren nahmen in diesen Jahren Filmenthusiasten (Filmklubmitglieder, Filmkritiker und -studenten, Archiv- und Festivalbesucher...) an einer Erneuerungswelle transnationalen Charakters teil, die eine Reaktion auf die traditionellen, oft mit staatlichen Initiativen verwobenen Filmlandschaften postulierte. Trotz politischer Einschrankungen wurde die Filmkultur in beiden Diktaturen zu einem lebendigen Feld, das intensiv in die Vergangenheit schaute, sich international neu verortete und uber Kino mit einer bis dahin nicht gekannten Intensitat debattierte. Dieses Buch rekonstruiert diese Geschichte auf der Grundlage von Archivmaterialien unterschiedlicher Provenienz, Interviews mit Zeitzeugen sowie der Analyse der wichtigsten Publikationen der Zeit und bietet somit einen innovativen Beitrag, der unseren Blick auf die Geschichte der europaischen Filmkultur grundlegend erweitern soll.

The versatility of liquid chromatography (LC) allows its applicability to countless areas. From the quality control of various industries, such as pharmaceutical, alimentary or chemistry, passing through health, environmental, toxicological or forensic activities, and also in the area of genetics or R liquid chromatography applications are used world-wide. This book presents key support for everyone that works or intends to work in analytical fields, from students to senior researchers. The principles of liquid chromatography, the new fluorinated stationary phases or how to achieve robustness, are examples of fundamental liquid chromatography issues that are discussed in the book. Furthermore reviews about the latest developments on the LC-MS/MS determination of antibiotic residues in food-producing animals or of emerging pollutants in environmental samples are presented, as well as liquid chromatography applications for the determination of vitamin E isomers in foods. Preparative liquid chromatography is also discussed, as is the role of liquid chromatography to evaluate food authenticity, namely milk and dairy products. Last but not least, metabolomic and proteomic analysis, as well as serendipity are important issues that also benefit liquid chromatography utilisation. The present book is truly innovating and, certainly, will be an important tool for those that are engaged in analytical science in all of the different areas of interest.
