Brooklyn, New York, a distinct borough of New York City, is known
for its distinctive vernacular, its communal feel on the fringes of
a booming city, and its famous bridge, a gateway to the unlimited
opportunities in Manhattan. Of course, Coney Island deserves a
mention as it garners its own fame independent of Brooklyn, its
parent locale. New York City moviemaking got its start in Brooklyn
when Charles E. Chinnock shot his silent film The Encyclopedia of
New York City in 1894. Since then, many films have been made,
studios opened and stars born in Brooklyn, contributing to its
undeniable influence in the film industry. This work is a
collection of essays on the topic of Brooklyn as portrayed in film.
It includes a discussion of race relations in films dealing with
Brooklyn, the story of Jackie Robinson as shown on film, the
changing face of cinematic Brooklyn and some thoughts on a Brooklyn
filmgoers experience. The combination of Brooklyn and baseball in
the films of Paul Auster is examined, as well as the typical
portrayal of a Brooklyn native in film.
French novelist ?mile Zola, noted for his championship of the
Naturalist novel, has been one of the most adapted authors in world
literature. There have been approximately 80 film adaptations of
his late 19th century novels and short stories, many of which
occurred during the silent era of international film production
(1895?1927). While the aesthetic elements of Zola's fiction
continue to appeal to international cinema, the author's thematic
naturalism and his ?scientific methodology? have provided an
ideological framework that incorporates art, science and history
into the many cinematic adaptations of his work. This collection of
essays, contributed by scholars of French literature and film,
explores the dynamic relationship between Zola's fiction and its
film adaptations, examining critically significant cinematic
adaptations of Zola's novels from a variety of theoretical and
interdisciplinary perspectives. The 13 essays discuss the
adaptation of Zola's works within the limitations of the silent
cinema; the challenges posed by film censorship and the notoriety
of the author's naturalist text; the ideological inflection given
to Zola's working class narratives; and Zola's representation of
women. Zola's works are placed within their respective historical
contexts, as the essays address encoded anti?Nazi sentiment in
films produced under the German occupation of France during World
War II and the French Communist Party's reception of the filmic
adaptation of Germinal. Other adapted works addressed in these
chapters include La Terre, Nana, La B?te humaine, Au Bonheur des
Dames, Th?r?se Raquin, Gervaise and Pot-Bouille.
S-BPM stands for “subject-oriented business process management”
and focuses on subjects that represent the entities (people,
programs etc.) that are actively engaged in processes. S-BPM has
become one of the most widely discussed approaches for process
professionals. Its potential particularly lies in the integration
of advanced information technology with organizational and
managerial methods to foster and leverage business innovation,
operational excellence and intra- and inter-organizational
collaboration. Thus S-BPM can also be understood as a
stakeholder-oriented and social business process management
methodology. In this book, the authors show how S-BPM and its tools
can be used in order to solve communication and synchronization
problems involving humans and/or machines in an organization. All
the activities needed in order to implement a business process are
shown step by step; it starts by analyzing the problem, continues
with modeling and validating the corresponding process, and
finishes off by embedding the process into the organization. The
final result is a workflow that executes the process without the
need for any programming. To this end, in the first step a very
simple process is implemented, which is subsequently extended and
improved in “adaption projects,” because additional problems
have to be solved. This approach reflects the organizational
reality, in which processes must always be changed and adapted to
new requirements. This is a hands-on book, written by professionals
for professionals, with a clear and concise style, a wealth of
illustrations (as the title suggests), and focusing on an ongoing
example with a real industrial background. Readers who want to
execute all the steps by themselves can simply download the S-BPM
tool suite from the www.i2pm.net website.
