October 2009Das Zeichen des Jägers
Kriminalroman
by Soti Triantafillou, Birgit Hildebrand
New York im Sommer 1990: Privatdetektiv Stuart Malone leidet unter der Hitze, unter Schlaflosigkeit und trüben Erinnerungen. Daß die New Yorker Polizei ihn und seine Assistentin Deenie zu laufenden Ermittlungen hinzuziehen will, hebt seine Laune nicht unbedingt. Doch die ehemaligen Kollegen brauchen seine Hilfe bei einer rätselhaften Mordserie in Chinatown. Denn dem ersten Anschein nach haben die Getöteten nur eines gemeinsam: das Zeichen eines Hirsches, das ihnen auf den Arm gemalt wurde.

The ArtsJune 2021Genre and performance: film and television
by Christine Cornea
Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen. Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films.
