Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective, and one grounded in human
rights, Unaccompanied young migrants explores in-depth the journeys
migrant youths take through the UK legal and care systems. Arriving
with little agency, what becomes of these children as they grow and
assume new roles and identities, only to risk losing legal
protection as they reach eighteen? Through international studies
and crucially the voices of the young migrants themselves, the book
examines the narratives they present and the frameworks of culture
and legislation into which they are placed. It challenges existing
policy and questions, from a social justice perspective, what the
treatment of this group tells us about our systems and the cultural
presuppositions on which they depend.
The 1970s was an enormously creative period for experimental film.
Its innovations and debates have had far-reaching and long-lasting
influence, with a resurgence of interest in the decade revealed by
new gallery events, film screenings and social networks that
recognise its achievements. Professor Laura Mulvey, and
writer/director Sue Clayton, bring together journalists and
scholars at the cutting edge of research into 1970s radical cinema
for this collection. Chapters are at once historically grounded yet
fused with the current analysis of today's generation of
cine-philes, to rediscover a unique moment for extraordinary film
production. Other Cinemas establishes the factors that helped to
shape alternative film: world cinema and internationalism, the
politics of cultural policy and arts funding, new accessible
technologies, avant-garde theories, and the development of a
dynamic and interactive relationship between film and its
audiences. Exploring and celebrating the work of The Other Cinema,
the London Film-makers' Co-op and other cornerstones of today's
film culture, as well as the impact of creatives such as William
Raban and Stephen Dwoskin - and Mulvey and Clayton themselves -
this important book takes account of a wave of socially aware film
practice without which today's activist, queer, minority and
feminist voices would have struggled to gather such volume.

What were the conditions of possibility for art and music-making
before the era of neoliberal capitalism? What role did punk play in
turning artists to experiment with popular music in the late 1970s
and early 1980s? And why does the art and music of these times seem
so newly pertinent to our political present, despite the seeming
remoteness of its historical moment? Focusing upon the production
of post-punk art, film, music, and publishing, this book offers new
perspectives on an overlooked period ofcultural activity, and
probes the lessons that might be learnt from history for artists
and musicians working under 21st century conditions of austerity.
