- Description
- Book — 412 pages ; 25 cm
- Summary
-
From a leading historian and writer, a delightful exploration of the great English tradition of treading the boards. The English Actor charts the uniquely English approach to stagecraft, from the medieval period to the present day. In thirty chapters, Peter Ackroyd describes, with superb narrative skill, the genesis of acting--deriving from the Church tradition of Mystery Plays--through the flourishing of the craft in the Renaissance, to modern methods following the advent of film and television. Across centuries and media, The English Actor also explores the biographies of the most notable and celebrated British actors. From the first woman actor on the English stage, Margaret Hughes, who played Desdemona in 1660; to luminaries like Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, and Helen Mirren; to contemporary multihyphenates like Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh, Sophie Okonedo, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ackroyd gives all fans of the theater an original and superbly entertaining appraisal of how actors have acted, how audiences have responded, and what we mean by the magic of the stage.

- Summary
-
"Focusing on representations of Celtic motifs and traditions in post-1980s adult fantasy literature, this book illuminates how the historical, the mythological and the folkloric have served as inspiration for the fantastic in modern and popular culture of the western world. Bringing together both highly-acclaimed works with those that have received less critical attention, including French and Gaelic fantasy literature, Imagining the Celtic Past in Modern Fantasy explores such texts as Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Alan Garner's Weirdstone trilogy, the Irish fantasies of Jodi McIsaac, David Gemmell's Rigante novels, Patricia Kennealy-Morrison Keltiad books, as well as An Sgoil Dhubh by Iain F. MacLeòid and the Vertigen and Frontier series by Léa Silhol. Lively and covering new ground, the collection examines topics such as fairy magic, Celtic-inspired worldbuilding, heroic patterns, classical ethnography and genre tropes alongside analyses of the Celtic Tarot in speculative fiction and Celtic appropriation in fan culture. Introducing a nuanced understanding of the Celtic past, as it has been informed by recent debates in Celtic studies, this wide-ranging and provocative book shows how modern fantasy is indebted to medieval Celtic-language texts, folkloric traditions, as well as classical sources"-- Provided by publisher.

9. Science fiction and narrative form [2023]
- Milner, Andrew, author.
- London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2023.
- Description
- Book — 231 pages 25 cm
- Summary
-
"Locating science fiction as its own distinct and increasingly important narrative form, this book explores how the genre challenges pervasive perceptions of society as presented in the conventional modern novel. Inspired by, and building upon, Georg Lukács's criticism of the orthodox novel for its depiction of life as alienating and disjointed, Milner, Murphy and Roberts posit that science fiction steps beyond this contemporary form to be a more constructive literature, better able to conceive of society as complete, integrated and well-rounded. Taking stock of 3 kinds of science fiction which lie outside the scope of the modern novel - theological or ontological science fiction, the science fiction of future history and epic science fiction - this book demonstrates science fiction's unique capacity to encapsulate the whole world, persons and events, things and objects in a glance, and address the motive behind the wish for a meaningful totality. With reference to a vast array of works by authors such as Michel Houellebecq, Elias Canetti, Isaac Asimov, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, Marge Piercy, Iain M. Banks, Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Dirk C. Fleck, Philip K. Dick, George Orwell and Kazuo Ishiguro, this book offers a compelling argument for rethinking the position and potential of the science fiction novel and to challenge the way we perceive our culture"-- Provided by publisher.

- Summary
-
Adaptation Before Cinema highlights a range of pre-cinematic media forms, including theater, novelization, painting and illustration, transmedia art, childrens media, and other literary and visual culture. The book expands the primary scholarly audience of adaptation studies from film and media scholars to literary scholars and cultural critics working across a range of historical periods, genres, forms, and media. In doing so, it underscores the creative diversity of cultural adaptation practiced before cinema came to dominate the critical conversation on adaptation. Collectively, the chapters construct critical bridges between literary history and contemporary media studies, foregrounding diverse practices of adaptation and providing a platform for innovative critical approaches to adaptation, appropriation, or transmedia storytelling popular from the Middle Ages through the invention of cinema. At the same time, they illustrate how these forms of adaptation not only influenced the cinematic adaptation industry of the twentieth century but also continue to inform adaptation practices in the twenty-first century transmedia landscape. Written by scholars with expertise in historical, literary, and cultural scholarship ranging from the medieval period through the nineteenth century, the chapters use discourses developed in contemporary adaptation studies to shed new lights on their respective historical fields, authors, and art forms

"This book investigates literary representations and self-representations of people with cosmopolitan identities arising from mobile global childhoods which transcend categories of migrancy and diaspora. Part I focuses on the ways in which cosmopolitan characters are represented in selected novels, from the debauched Anthony Blanche in Evelyn Waugh's classic Brideshead Revisited, to the victimized Ila in Amitav Ghosh's The Shadow Lines, to John le Carré's undefinable spies. Part II focuses on self-representations of people with a cosmopolitan upbringing, in the form of autobiographical narratives by well-known authors such as Barack Obama and Edward Said, along with lesser-known writers, all of whom "write back" to the ways in which they have at times been stereotyped and othered in literary fiction and public discourse"-- Provided by publisher

15. National literature in multinational states [2022]
- First edition - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada : University of Alberta Press, 2022
- Description
- Book — xxix, 206 pages ; 23 x 16 cm
- Summary
-
"If literature has often informed the creation of a national imaginary--a sense of common history and destiny--it has also complicated, even challenged, the unifying vision assumed in the formation of a national literature and sense of nation. National Literature in Multinational States questions the persistent association of literature and nation-states, contrasting this with the reality of multinational and ethnocultural diversity. The contributors to this collection interrogate concepts and manifestations of nationalism in the context of literary production while evaluating the place of national literatures in multinational states at a time when social unity and political agreement have never been more elusive. The volume strives for synoptic analysis via the complementary, multifaceted treatment of literary creation in several geo-cultural contexts: Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, India, and Nigeria. Contributors: Sabujkoli Bandopadhyay, Albert Braz, Matthew Cormier, Doris Hambuch, Clara Joseph, Paul D. Morris, Asma Sayed, Matthew Ťtreault, Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike, Jerry White."-- Provided by publisher

In the middle of a cold, snowy winter, Donald Duck trades his house and four snow shovels for an airplane that has skis instead of wheels. He and the boys are going south where they won't have to shovel another snowbank. They're about to change the plane's skis for regular wheels when the Mayor asks them to fly an errand of mercy and deliver a shipment of penicillin to Point Marrow, Alaska. But before they can take off, two men slipped a small package into the plane and sent a message to Pete de Fox. As soon as they landed, Pete's men spotted the plane and searched for the package which the nephews had found and Donald had brought into the hotel. Pete intends to get that box! In a second adventure, Donald and the boys finally make it to Florida and Donald is bored. A man fishing on the pier hears him and tells him and the boys about a lost city in the Everglades. Pretty soon the four of them are in a boat, exploring. In the swamp they see a sign, "Beware of the Gneezles."

- Summary

Instapoetry is among the most popular literary phenomena of the present. In just a few years, millions of short to ultra-short lyrics have been published and shared on Instagram. In the battle for attention with countless other texts, the mechanisms of the platform and the usage routines of the users have to be served. The external pressure on literary production is immense. The book explains the production strategies and reception procedures of Instapoetry, explains its development and locates its significance - somewhere between the last stage of decay and the future of poetry. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. Niels Penke is a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of German Studies at the University of Siegen, where he was also coordinator of the Popular Cultures Research Unit from 2015 to 2018

25. Italian film in the present tense [2023]
- Marcus, Millicent Joy, author.
- Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, [2023]
- Description
- Book — xi, 277 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
- Summary
-
"For observers of the European film scene, Federico Fellini's death in 1993 came to stand for the demise of Italian cinema as a whole. Exploring an eclectic sampling of works from the new millennium, Italian Film in the Present Tense confronts this narrative of decline with strong evidence to the contrary. Millicent Marcus highlights Italian cinema's new sources of industrial strength, its re-placement of the Rome-centred studio system with regional film commissions, its contemporary breakthroughs on the aesthetic front, and its vital engagement with the changing economic and socio-political circumstances in twenty-first-century Italian life. Examining works that stand out for their formal brilliance and their moral urgency, the book presents a series of fourteen case studies, featuring analyses of such renowned films as Il Divo, Gomorrah, The Great Beauty, We Have a Pope, The Mafia Only Kills in the Summer, and Fire at Sea, along with lesser-known works deserving of serious critical scrutiny. In doing so, Italian Film in the Present Tense contests the widely held perception of a medium languishing in its "post-Fellini" moment, and instead acknowledges the ethical persistence and forward-looking currents of Italian cinema in the present tense."-- Provided by publisher

- Description
- Book — viii, 352 pages ; 25 cm
- Summary
-
The adultery novel, which became a pan-European literary paradigm in the second half of the 19th century, has a fascinating back story. In the wake of the French Revolution, there emerged a slew of secular marriage legislation which produced a metaphorical surplus that is still effective today. Through legal history and canonical literary texts from Rousseau to Goethe and Manzoni to Hugo and Flaubert, "Marriage as a National Fiction" traces how marriage became a figure of reflection for the modern nation-state around 1800. At the same time, law and literature are made fruitful for historical semantics of society and community. This book is a translation of an original German 1st edition "Ehe als Nationalfiktion" by Dagmar Stoferle, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the serviceDeepL.com). The author (with the support of Chris Owain Carter) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically

- Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2023]
- Description
- Book — xl, 280 pages ; 22 cm
- Summary
-
This collection explores how American science fiction television reflects, produces, and reconfigures the physical, imaginative, and cultural spaces we inhabit. It reads the proliferation of science fiction television and screen technologies as colliding heterotopias (impossible emplacements of space and time) that increasingly shape our world. With our growing awareness of population growth, the threat of ecocide, volatile geopolitics, and the rapid technological developments transforming media, we have become a space conscious age, with our lives increasingly mediated through the screen. Analyzing a plethora of science fiction television shows, the contributors explore science fictions engagement with the contested nature of inhabiting space; consider science fiction and screens as mirrors reflecting and refracting our world, its politics and conflicts; examine the nature of intersecting media and the importance of screens as science-fictional devices; and assess the transformative effects of science fiction spaces on communities and bodies

Best friends and chosen family Chris, Elise, Jo, and Alex work hard to keep themselves afloat. Their regular brunches hold them together even as the rest of their lives threaten to fall apart. In an effort to avoid being the oldest gays at the party, the crew decides to put on a new queer event called Grind-specifically for homos in their dirty thirties. Grind is a welcome distraction from their real problems: after a messy divorce, Chris adjusts to being a single parent while struggling to reconnect to their queer community. Elise is caught between feelings for her boss and the career of her dreams. Jo tries to navigate the murky boundaries of being a supportive friend and taking care of her own needs. And Alex is guarding a secret that might change his friendships forever. While navigating exes at work, physical and mental exhaustion, and drinking way, way too much on weekdays, this chosen family proves that being messy doesn't always go away with age.--Amazon

45. Al-Jazeera's "double standards" in the Arab Spring : a peace journalism analysis (2011-2021) [2022]
- Abdul-Nabi, Zainab, author.
- Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2022]
- Description
- Book — xxiv, 330 pages ; 22 cm
- Summary
-
This book finds that Al-Jazeeras coverage of Bahrain and Syria has conformed with Qatar's foreign policy, throughout the last decade (2011-2021). Al-Jazeera Arabic adopted Qatar's "double standards" policy in both countries in the beginning of the Arab Spring, framing Bahrain's protests as a sectarian movement, while depicting the Syrian armed conflict as a legitimate "revolution" (2011-2013). The book observes that when ties between Qatar and Bahrain worsened during the 2017 Gulf crisis, Al-Jazeera Arabic has shifted its coverage from being "pro-Bahraini regime" to pro-protesters, focusing on violations and giving voice to activists (2014-2021). The book concludes that the lack of "Peace Journalism" framing in Al-Jazeeras coverage of Bahrain's uprising and Syria's chemical weapons attacks has represented claims as facts, and justified military action against Syria. It also reveals distinctive differences between Al-Jazeera Arabic and English, with the former lacking objective reporting standards, and using more sectarian language than the latter
