        Terry Gilliam

        by Peter Marks

        Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist. Analysing Gilliam's work over nearly four decades, from the brilliant anarchy of his Monty Python animations through the nightmarish masterpiece Brazil to the provocative Gothic horror of Tideland, it critically examines the variety and richness of Gilliam's sometimes troubled but always provocative output. The book situates Gilliam within the competing cultural contexts of the British, European and American film industries, examining his regular struggles against aesthetic and commercial pressures. He emerges as a passionate, immensely creative director, whose work encompasses a dizzying array of material: anarchic satire, childhood and adult fantasy, dystopia, romantic comedy, surrealism, road movie, fairy tale and the Gothic. The book charts how Gilliam interweaves these genres and forms to create magical interfaces between reality and the illuminating, frightening but liberating worlds of the imagination. Scrutinising the neglected importance of literature and adaptation in Gilliam's career, this study also observes him through the lenses of auteurism, genre, performance, design and national culture, explaining how someone born in Minnesota and raised in California came to be one of British television and film's most compelling figures.

        We all die at the end

        Storytelling in the climate apocalypse

        by Sam Haddow

        We all die at the end offers a survey of contemporary end-of-the-world fiction, spanning literature, children's fiction, video games, theatre and film. It draws on eco-critical philosophy and narrative theory to show ways in which the climate crisis is reorienting storytelling in the face of foreseeable human extinction. In the process, it argues that such stories have a role to play in helping us come to terms with the severity and scale of the crisis that we face.

        Imperial expectations and realities

        El Dorados, utopias and dystopias

        by Edited by Andrekos Varnava

        This volume explores how imperial powers established and expanded their empires through decisions that were often based on exaggerated expectations and wishful thinking, rather than on reasoned and scientific policies. It explores these exaggerations through the concepts of El Dorado, utopias and dystopias - undertakings based on irrational perceived values - in case studies from across the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, and incorporates imperial traditions including Scottish, British, French, German, Italian and American. Various colonial spaces are considered, from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas, and in doing so, the contributors offer new insights into the nature of imperialism and colonial settlement.

        Heterotopia

        Studien zur Krisis der Ordnung moderner Gesellschaften

        by Helmut Willke

        Das erste Erschrecken gilt immer dem Fremden. Als dritter Band der Atopia-Trilogie entfaltet Heterotopia Beobachtungen über den Umgang mit Fremdem. Heterotopia bezeichnet eine Welt, die aus der Selbsthypnose einer nationalstaatlich organisierten Hyperordnung erwacht und sich nun in einer anderen Realität wiederfindet. Diese ist von den Zumutungen der hochgetriebenen Kontingenzen Atopias ebenso geprägt wie von den symbolischen Verwerfungen Dystopias, aber sie ist auch eine Welt, deren Ordnung als Ordnung grundlegend erschüttert ist. Heterotopia beschreibt diese Auflösung der Ordnung hyperkomplexer Gesellschaften. Die drei Bände finden ihren Zusammenhang darin, daß sie die Erschütterung grundlegender Gewißheiten der Moderne beschreiben. Die Ordnung der Territorien, die Ordnung des Wissens und die Ordnung der Ordnung nationalstaatlich organisierter Gesellschaften stehen auf dem Spiel. Ziel des Bandes ist es, für den Fall hockkomplexer Systeme den notwendigen übergang von unmöglicher Ordnung zu möglicher Unordnung plausibel zu machen.
