Performance Anxiety in Media Culture explores the culture of
performance anxiety in the media-saturated contemporary world. It
uses comparative case studies including film, social media, and
popular music to examine the ways that personal concern regarding
self-presentation becomes transformed into shared cultural
expressions through the use of media technologies. Three initial
chapters are dedicated to exploring the work of Erving Goffman,
Jacques Lacan, and Jean Baudrillard as critical for a thorough
understanding of how implications of a range of recent
transformations in the methods for staging social performances are
staged and in the ways that they are experienced and interpreted by
others. Three subsequent chapters explore diverse case studies in
the culture of performance anxiety: the representation of such
anxieties in recent French cinema, the appearance of them in the
world of fashion-based 'outfit of the day' blogs, and the attempt
to refine a more fixed social persona in the nostalgic culture of
rockabilly music.

Solar and other renewable power can play an important role in
future electricity system, as shown by numerous energy and
electricity system model studies. Many of these studies have in
common that they focus on cost as the central issue, either by
optimizing it or using it as a key variable in simulation. This
book examines the renewable energy policies in Germany, the
Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the UK in order to identify the
policy motivations and constraints for expanding renewables in
these countries. It also discusses safety hazards associated with
the use of solar panels; rotating prism array for solar tracking;
fabrication, electronic properties and microstructure of TiO2-based
dye-sensitized solar cells; solar tower power plants performance
and reliability analysis; liquid crystal devices for photovoltaic
systems; and mechanisms for solar technologies.

Since the publication of the extremely well regarded first edition
of this title, the legal regime which forms the basis for INTERPOL
has changed significantly due to increasing criticism and calls for
reform. This timely new edition provides a complete update to
reflect the significant developments within the Organization since
2010. This new edition also examines INTERPOL’s internal and
external law and situates INTERPOL’s assistance to its members in
the legal regime of responsibility. It is the first text to
undertake this task. It draws on the jurisprudence of the
Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files and the authors’
extensive experience before this body to discuss in great detail
how an individual can challenge INTERPOL’s interventions
(including the issuance of notices) on the basis of the
Organization’s internal rules. It also meticulously describes the
procedures under which INTERPOL members might challenge
INTERPOL’s interventions and how an individual can hold INTERPOL
responsible for breaches of its external law. Retaining the clarity
of expression and expert analysis that were hallmarks of the first
edition, this book is required reading for practitioners and
academics alike. It provides academics with a valuable case study
on the creation of an international organisation and the
responsibility of international organisations, and it offers
practitioners a forensic analysis of how to challenge INTERPOL and
its actions.
