Thriller | Eine Hommage an die Horror-Kult-Filme der 1970er, 80er und 90er | Eine coole Mischung aus Psychothriller, Horror und Whodunit
by Josh Winning, Thomas Wörtche, Stefan Lux
Dreißig Jahre lang hat sie sich vor ihrer Vergangenheit versteckt. Acht ungeklärte Todesfälle. Ein gespenstischer Horrorfilm. Und kein Ausweg mehr. Gerade in L.A. gelandet, wo sie das Set einer neuen Streaming-Horror-Serie besucht, sieht die Journalistin Laura Warren, wie ein Mann von einer Brücke springt und direkt hinter ihrem Auto aufschlägt. Es hat wieder angefangen, denkt sie. Denn die Serie, über die sie berichten soll, ist ein Remake von The Guesthouse, einem berüchtigten Gruselklassiker aus den 90ern, in dem sie die Hauptrolle spielte: ein kleines Mädchen mit der schrecklichen Gabe, den Leuten vorhersagen zu können, wie der Needle Man sie töten wird. Und als damals wirklich acht Mitglieder der Besetzung und der Crew während und nach dem Dreh auf unheimliche Weise starben, wurde der Film zu einem Kultklassiker ‒ und ruinierte ihr Leben. Laura änderte ihre Identität und zog nach England. Doch manche Drehbücher wollen einfach nicht begraben bleiben: Kaum hat sie mit dem Remake zu tun, geht alles wieder von vorne los. Aber jetzt, wo einer nach dem andern zu Tode kommt, will Laura den Fluch ein für alle Mal beenden ‒ wenn der Needle Man sie nicht vorher holt ...

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2007Labour, the state, social movements and the challenge of neo-liberal globalisation
by Andrew Gamble, Steven Fielding, Steve Ludlam, John Callaghan, Andrew Taylor, Steve Ludlam, Stephen Wood
With the emergence of neo-liberalism in the 1980s as the dominant domestic and international political-economic orthodoxy, labour as both a social category and political movement tended to be written off or ignored by academics, politicians and commentators. However, at a time when the world's working class is growing faster than at any previous time in history and neo-liberalism is widely challenged, this orthodoxy is clearly inadequate. The spread of global production means that to ignore labour, its organisations, interests and politics, is to ignore one of the key components of that process. Labour organisations have not gone away and neither has the state: their relationship remains as significant as ever. The strategic relationship between trade unions and social movements, nationally and internationally, has also developed markedly, especially in the south. New patterns of resistance are emerging to challenge global capital and those who assert that globalisation is irresistible. ;

The ArtsMarch 2026Acting and performance in Hitchcock
by Adrian Garvey, Victoria Lowe
Hitchcock's professed disdain for actors is belied by the extraordinary range and depth of performances featured in his films. It might even be argued that many stars gave their richest and most complex performances in his work. Hitchcock's films are also imbued with the theme of performance, as when his fugitive men and errant women assume fragile new identities and move between roles. Actors and other performers also often feature as characters. However, the exhaustive academic literature on Hitchcock has to date produced surprisingly little work about acting and performance in his films. The collection includes contributions from a range of leading scholars on Hitchcock, performance, stardom, and British Cinema, including Charles Barr, David Greven, Mark Glancy, Lucy Bolton, Lawrence Napper and Michael Williams, and an interview with leading composers/accompanists Neil Brand and Stephen Horne on scoring performance in Silent Hitchcock.

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.

The ArtsJanuary 2019From Perversion to Purity
The stardom of Catherine Deneuve
by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris
Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2026Sovereignty disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
A public order perspective
by Thomas D. Grant
Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.

The ArtsJune 2021Medieval film
by Anke Bernau, Bettina Bildhauer
Medieval film explores theoretical questions about the ideological, artistic, emotional and financial investments inhering in cinematic renditions of the medieval period. What does it mean to create and watch a 'medieval film'? What is a medieval film and why are they successful? This is the first work that attempts to answer these questions, drawing, for instance, on film theory, postcolonial theory, cultural studies and the growing body of work on medievalism. Contributors investigate British, German, Italian, Australian, French, Swedish and American film, exploring topics such translation, temporality, film noir, framing and period film - and find the medieval lurking in inexpected corners. In addition it provides in-depth studies of individual films from different countries including The Birth of a Nation to Nosferatu, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Medieval Film will be of interest to medievalists working in disciplines including literature, history, to scholars working on film and in cultural studies. It will also be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and to an informed enthusiast in film or/and medieval culture.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2011The Transformation of European Football
Towards the Europeanisation of the national game
by Arne Niemann, Borja Garcia, Wyn Grant
The book examines the transformation of European football in recent years by focusing on the impact of Europe in general and the EU in particular on the way that the game has evolved in a broad cross section of European states. The book brings together two significant research agendas: first, that on the governance of sport in Europe/the European Union; secondly, that within European integration studies on 'Europeanisation' (most commonly understood at the process of change in the domestic arena resulting from European integration). The concept of Europeanisation and in particular' top down' Europeanisation is used to shape the individual country case studies. Other transformational factors such as globalization are also assessed. The three chapters in the introductory section set the context within which the transformation of European football has occurred with particular emphasis on the role of UEFA and EU institutions. The ten country studies in the central part of the book include the five leading football nations in Europe and smaller countries that are facing new challenges in the competitive environment of modern European football. They include an example of a country that is a recent accession state and one outside the EU. What emerges from these chapters is both the shaping influence of Europeanisation but also the extent to which it is countered and modified by national culture and structures. What is also noticeable the sense of decline amongst some of the small and even larger footballing nations in the continent. This book will be of interest to students of European politics, sports governance and football, it also represents a substantial contribution to the debate on Europeanisation. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2023Politics, performance and popular culture
Theatre and society in nineteenth-century Britain
by Peter Yeandle, Katherine Newey, Jeffrey Richards
This collection brings together studies of popular performance and politics across the nineteenth century, offering a fresh perspective from an archivally grounded research base. It works with the concept that politics is performative and performance is political. The book is organised into three parts in dialogue regarding specific approaches to popular performance and politics. Part I offers a series of conceptual studies using popular culture as an analytical category for social and political history. Part II explores the ways that performance represents and constructs contemporary ideologies of race, nation and empire. Part III investigates the performance techniques of specific politicians - including Robert Peel, Keir Hardie and Henry Hyndman - and analyses the performative elements of collective movements.

by Jennifer Schumann, Moon Notes
In "Without a Word" von Jennifer Schumann begegnet die junge, ambitionierte Schauspielerin Madeleine während einer Auszeit im Café ihrer Freundin einem geheimnisvollen Stammgast. Dieser Mann, der weder spricht noch Madeleine direkt ansieht, übt eine unerklärliche Faszination auf sie aus. Trotz seiner abweisenden Haltung lässt Madeleine nicht locker und bemüht sich, ihm näher zu kommen. Nach und nach enthüllt sich ihr der Grund für sein Verhalten, und sie erkennt, dass Liebe nicht immer Worte benötigt, um wahr und tief zu sein. Die Geschichte erzählt von der langsamen, aber intensiven Annäherung zwischen Madeleine und dem jungen Mann, der sich später als Eden herausstellt. Trotz der sprachlosen Kommunikation entwickelt sich zwischen ihnen eine tiefe Verbundenheit, die zeigt, wie stark nonverbale Interaktionen sein können. Madeleine lernt dabei nicht nur Edens Geheimnis kennen, sondern auch, dass Liebe Hindernisse überwinden kann, die auf den ersten Blick unüberwindbar scheinen. Durch ihre Hartnäckigkeit und ihr offenes Herz entdeckt sie eine neue Art der Liebe – eine Liebe, die ohne Worte auskommt, dafür aber umso eindrücklicher spricht. "Without a Word" ist eine bewegende Geschichte über die Kraft der Liebe, die auch die tiefsten Barrieren durchbrechen kann.
