The problem of preventing mass human-rights violations and atrocity
crimes is one of the key issues in international relations. The
book presents the capacity of the international community in the
field. The available instruments of early warning, preventive
diplomacy as well as legal, economic, and military measures of
prevention are included. Cases of Chechnya, Rwanda, Cote d'Ivoire
and Libya allowed the analysis of international engagement in
typical situations involving mass human-rights violations and
atrocity crimes related to self-determination, ethnic tensions,
power struggles and attempts to overthrow a dictatorship. They show
that although the international community has significantly
increased its capacity to prevent, it has not created a coherent
system of prevention.
This text examines the many transformations in Husserl's
phenomenology that his discoveries of the nature of appearing lead
to. It offers a comprehensive look at the Logical Investigations'
delimitation of the phenomenological field, and continues with
Husserl's account of our consciousness of time. This volume
examines Husserl's turn to transcendental idealism and the problems
this raises for our recognition of other subjects. It details
Husserl's account of embodiment and takes largely from his
manuscripts, both published and unpublished, dealing with his
theory of instincts, his considerations of mortality and the
teleological character of our existence. This book appeals to
students and researchers and presents a genetic account of our
selfhood, one that unifies Husserl's different claims about who and
what we are.

This book examines the queer film festival and opens the discussion
on social enterprises and sustainable lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and intersex (LGBTI) organisations. With over 220
events worldwide and some of the bigger budgets exceeding $1
million, the queer film festival has grown to become a staple event
in all cosmopolitan cities' arts calendars. While activism was
instrumental in establishing these festivals, the pink dollar has
been a deciding factor in its financial sustainability. Pretty gay
boys with chiselled abs are a staple feature, rather than
underground experimental faire. Community arts events, such as
these, are now a creative industry. While clearly having a social
purpose, they must also concern themselves with the bottom line.
For all the contradictory elements of its organisational growth,
this conflict makes the queer film festival an integral site for
analysis. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach in examining
the queer film festival as a representative snapshot of the current
state of queer cinema and community based film festivals. The book
looks at queer film festivals in San Francisco, Hong Kong and
Melbourne to argue for the importance of these institutions
remaining as community events.
This collection of prefaces, originally written for the 1909
multivolume "New York" Edition of Henry James' fiction, first
appeared in book form in 1934 with an introduction by poet and
critic R. P. Blackmur. In his prefaces, James tackles the great
problems of fiction writing - character, plot, point of view,
inspiration - and explains how he came to write novels such as "The
Portrait of a Lady" and "The American". As Blackmur puts it,
"criticism has never been more ambitious, nor more useful." The
latest edition of this influential work includes a foreword by
best-selling author Colm Toibin, whose critically acclaimed novel
"The Master" is told from the point of view of Henry James. As a
guide not only to James' inspiration and execution but also to his
frustrations and triumphs, this volume will be valuable both to
students of James' fiction and to aspiring writers.
James Richards (born 1983 in Cardiff, UK) is renowned for his
provocative and intense moving-image works that collage together a
wide range of materials sourced from home movies, private and
public archives, as well as TV clips, combined with rich musical
soundtracks. Richards’ art draws on the relentless flood of
images that has become a hallmark of the 21st century. His works
filter, sort, and condense collected materials into a space where
personal interiority and digital materiality meet. Alongside his
films, Richards has created exhibition projects based on archival
research and ongoing dialogues with other artists. Published to
accompany the eponymous exhibition at Haus Mödrath, this title
brings together sound and video installations as well as sculptural
works, while outlining the relationships and influences that have
informed Richards’ practice, including collaborative projects
with long-standing partners, works created by close friends, and
artists that have inspired him. With work and contributions by
Tolia Astakhishvili, Albrecht, Becker, Christian Friedrich, Bastien
Gachet, Isa Genzken, Margarethe Held, Adrian Hermanides, Anne
McGuire, Steve Reinke, Rachel Reupke, JX Williams; Texts: Chris
McCormack, Joseph Henry, James Richards. Text in English and
German.

In this first book of a trilogy on the life of Mary Magdalene,
Estelle Isaacson presents her visions of the life of "the Apostle
to the Apostles" as seen through Magdalene's own eyes. Following a
Prologue "in the starry heavens," Part One encompasses Magdalene's
childhood, her journeys and education in Egypt, her struggle with
temptations, and her conversion. Part Two takes the reader through
some of Magdalene's experiences as she lays down her former life
and follows Jesus as his disciple. Part Three visits the Lazarus
mysteries and includes revelations concerning his initiation,
death, and resurrection. Part Four comprises five appendices
presenting subsidiary visions. Among these are two visions of
Magdalene's mysterious sister Silent Mary, a figure otherwise
unknown except through the earlier visions of the Catholic
stigmatist Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824). The book is graced
with many illustrations by James J. Tissot (1836-1902), whose work
resonates also with Estelle in a very special way, the artist's
depictions being so very close to what she herself witnesses in
vision. Those who find this volume valuable and inspiring will be
glad to know of two further volumes of the trilogy, and that works
on other subjects drawn from the ongoing wellspring of Estelle's
visions will follow. Book II of the Magdalene trilogy is subtitled
From Initiation to the Passion, and Book III is subtitled From the
Ascension to Journeys in Gaul. "Estelle invites us to stand witness
by her side, in community with the Logos and with Sophia. She tells
us we need not wait until we are perfect, for Christ comes to us
now " -From the Introduction "This book is a truly remarkable work
on Mary Magdalene, in which the mysteries she lived through are
re-experienced through her eyes in a most touching and tangible
way." -Robert Powell, author The Mystery, Biography & Destiny
of Mary Magdalene.
