This book examines the representation of death and dying in
mainstream cinema. Death and the Moving Image reveals the
ambivalent place of death in 20th and 21st century culture: the
ongoing split between its over- and under-statement, between its
cold realities and its fantastical, transcendental and, most
importantly, strategic depictions. Our screens are steeped in
death's dramatics: in spectacles of glorious sacrifice or bloody
retribution, in the ecstasy of agony, but always in the promise of
redemption. This book is about the staging of these dramatics in
mainstream Western film and the discrepancies that fuel them and
are, by return, fuelled by them. Exploring the impact of gender,
race, nation or narration upon them, this groundbreaking study
isolates how mainstream cinema works to bestow value upon certain
lives, and specific socio-cultural identities, in a hierarchical
and partisan way. It examines the formal, psychological and
political exchange between cinema and death. It is accessible
'before, during, after' structure: of death's presence as narrative
promise, physical event and spectatorial reaction. It considers how
filmmaking practice or visual medium affect the representation of
death and its cultural significance.

This book examines the representation of death and dying in
mainstream cinema. Death and the Moving Image provides the first in
depth study of the representation of death and dying in mainstream
Western cinema from its earliest to its latest renditions. It
explores the impact of gender, race, nation and narration upon
death's dramatics on screen and isolates how mainstream cinema
works to bestow value upon certain lives, and specific socio
cultural identities, in a hierarchical and partisan way. Dedicated
to the popular, to the political and ethical implications of mass
culture's themes and imperatives, this book takes mainstream cinema
to task for its mortal economies: for its adoration and absolution
of some characters and expendability of others. It also ultimately
disinters the capacity for film, and film criticism, to engage with
life and vulnerability differently. Aimed at the burgeoning field
of death studies and explosion of interest in trauma and ethics
within film studies, this book charts important new territory for
the discipline whilst arguing for the centrality of this subject to
the socio political significance of cinema. It examines the formal,
psychological and political exchange between cinema and death. It
offers an accessible 'before, during, after' structure, of death's
presence as narrative promise, physical event and spectatorial
reaction. It also provides a comparative and interdisciplinary
approach to film (draws on critical race, political theory and mise
en scene analysis and case studies from beyond Western and fiction
film).
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), Argentine educator,
statesman, and writer, self-educated after the model of Benjamin
Franklin, was "not a man but a nation," in the words of Mrs. Horace
Mann. Like De Tocqueville, this remarkable man visited the United
States in its early years and wrote a detailed account of this new
phenomenon. Full of shrewd social commentary and unique vignettes
of the America of this period-of Boston, for instance, where
Sarmiento met the Horace Manns and later Emerson and
Longfellow-Travels should take its place among the important
commentaries on the United States written during the last century
by foreign visitors. Professor Rockland's introductory essay
provides the broader context in which Travels must be seen: its
place in Sarmiento's life and career and its importance as
testimony to forgotten lines of influence between North and South
America. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
Depuis quelques annees, il semble que les gens s'interessent

inciter d'abord a faire connaissance avec les principes
fondamentaux de la musique. Sans aucun doute, les eleves et les
professeurs sauront apprecier a sa juste valeur, notre maniere de
proceder, et aussi le service que rendra cette methode progressive.
This book cuts a lucid path through the debate on spectatorship.
It revisits the classics of Hollywood; explores films beyond the
mainstream, such as Dogme 95; and shows how cinema makes a
spectacle of the everyday while turning the spectacular into
something commonplace. It also muses on the consequences of our
sharing in or witnessing the private or intimate acts of others and
our enjoyment of events that often represent a gross break with
legal and social mores.

An American Diplomat in Franco Spain is filled with Michael Aaron
Rockland's experiences as a cultural attache at the United States
embassy in Madrid, Spain in the 1960s. He captures episodes of
historical and cultural significance as he goes about doing his
country's business. Some of his stories are quite poignant while
others are quite amusing. He shares with his readers how he avoided
shaking Francisco Franco's hand, how he spent a day with Martin
Luther King in Madrid, how his son was selected to be in the movie
Dr. Zhivago, how he came to know several Kennedys, including
Senator Edward Kennedy, Pat Lawford Kennedy, and Jackie Kennedy,
and how the U.S. accidentally dropped four unarmed hydrogen bombs
on Spain. Throughout these stories, Rockland explains Spanish
culture, past and present, with his experiences involving bull
fighting, being a Jew in a very Catholic Spain, his love affair
with Spanish food, and what is lost in translation.
