Highlighting rising women directors alongside ground-breaking
pioneers, this is a one-stop guide to the leading women film
directors in the 21st century, and those who inspired them. This
collection of essays, by an impressive array of international
writers, examines the progress of women film directors around the
world, and arrives at some surprising conclusions.
From the blockbusters of the Hollywood studios to emerging voices
from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Laos, we learn of women making
films in traditionally male-dominated areas such as action, fantasy
and horror. With wide-ranging contributions from countries with
mature and nascent film industries, "Celluloid Ceiling"
demonstrates that economic and technological changes are creating
new opportunities for women film directors everywhere.
With contributions from Africa, Latin America, Europe, USA, Asia
and India, chapters on new voices in Japanese and Middle Eastern
cinema, the book also covers women directors working in TV, and
reminds us of the first woman director, Frenchwoman, Alice Guy
Blache. Exploring the rise of the independent film sector including
the horror aficionados the Soska Sisters, "Celluloid Ceiling" asks
whether economic and technological change will work to the
advantage of women in film.
"Celluloid Ceiling" follows in the footsteps of Supernova's "Women
Make Noise," which lifted the lid on the widespread and destructive
misogyny that still plagues the rock music world.
Wounds Fragments Derelict is Carlos Gabriel Kelly's debut poetry
collection. These poems comprise a narrative of love and loss.
Throughout the collection, Kelly weaves poetic fragments into a
narrative expressing the torment of a relationship that clings to
the heart even with the passage of time. As the speaker conjures
his world seen through the prism of lost love, ghosts populate a
landscape in which heartbreak prevents any possibility of moving
forward. In these fragments, romantic, bold, and erotic verse
speaks to the heart, its repetitions rattling the bones with
carefully composed meter. Kelly also inventively takes advantage of
the full page to create non-traditional forms for his poems. With
honesty, poignancy, and romantic flair, he distills the most
exhilarating highs and heartbreaking lows of life and love into
evocative lines that will become etched in the reader's mind.
The author has sought to make the contents ecumenically relevant.
The book assumes a level of proficiency in English suitable for
tertiary-level study. The contents focus especially on developing
reading skills. The eleven units in Section 1 provide instruction
and practice in the skills of reading comprehension in English,
using authentic theological texts. The way in which meaning is
conveyed through mode of discourse, genre, organization of ideas,
paragraph and sentence structure, and the skills of scanning,
skimming and interpreting cohesive devices are included. The
thirteen units in Section 2 offer practice in applying reading,
listening, writing and speaking skills. English for Theology is and
has been tested by a variety of students and their teachers in the
region, including lecturers and selected students at the Auckland
Consortium for Theological Education within the University of
Auckland, New Zealand, teachers and students in West Papua (Uniting
Church), and individual students from Vietnam and China studying in
the Philippines. Copies have also been made available for
individual use and/or in selected student libraries in the
Philippines, Indonesia, Iraq and East Timor. The common theme in
feedback to date is that the book is 'very helpful' to students and
teachers alike.
A literacy training tool for students who are learning theology and
for whom English is a second language or for those who are studying
theology or scripture at the parish level. The book is a textbook
with over 150 words that come with a definition and an exercise.
The book is illustrated with art from Australalian Indigenous
students (Aboriginals), from Darwin, Australia. The book uses
simple language to explain complex theological terms or biblically
based concepts. It could be used in parishes, or in junior or
secondary school; in small groups or in a classroom setting. The
book is ecumenical in nature and written by a Catholic Dominican
Religious Sister and an Anglican Priest who teaches at Nungalinya
College, Darwin.
With eleven new contributions, this second edition of essays on the
sources and principles of Dominican values in education offers an
extended sample of the many settings in which Dominican education,
broadly understood, finds expression. Cherished by all Dominicans,
these values are exemplified not only in the lives of well-known
foundational Dominicans, but also in some of those many others who,
on every continent and across time, have responded in typically
Dominican ways at key moments in history. Educators, activists,
philosophers, teachers, preachers, artists, healers and theologians
at many levels share their analyses and reflections on educating in
many different contexts, explicitly and implicitly demonstrating
ideals and values common to the goals of Dominican education
everywhere. It is hoped that this collection, offered again in this
decade of Dominican Jubilee-1206 - 1216 to 2006 - 2016 -will
inform, inspire and encourage all those engaged in the great work
of educating not only youth but people of all ages towards greater
life and liberty.
