January 2021Zazie in der Metro
Roman
by Raymond Queneau, Frank Heibert
Zazie in der Metro ist einer der beliebtesten französischen Romane des 20. Jahrhunderts – eine wilde, verspielt und deftig erzählte Geschichte über Paris, über die Sprachen des Alltags und über die abenteuerlustige, neunmalkluge Zazie, die so ziemlich ALLES auf den Kopf stellt. Madame Grossestittes will ungestörte Stunden mit ihrem Liebhaber verbringen. Deshalb übergibt sie ihre Tochter Zazie ihrem Bruder Gabriel, der in einem Cabaret arbeitet. Bei ihrem Onkel lernt die freche Zazie Gabriels Frau Marceline kennen, den Taxifahrer Charles, Turandot, dem die Kneipe unten im Haus gehört, die Kellnerin Mado, den Papagei Laverdure und vor allem das überbordende Paris selbst. Zazie hat einen einzigen Herzenswunsch – sie will einmal im Leben mit der Metro fahren. Doch die wird ausgerechnet an diesem Wochenende bestreikt. Dachten wir bisher! Aber nach sechzig Jahren kommt Zazie in dieser erweiterten Ausgabe des Romans erstmals wirklich in die Metro …

Critical perspectives
by Jonathan Bignell, Stephen Lacey
Popular television drama: critical perspectives' is a collection of essays examining landmark programmes of the last forty years, from 'Doctor Who' to 'The Office', and from 'The Demon Headmaster' to 'Queer As Folk'. Contributions from prominent academics focus on the full range of popular genres, from sitcoms to science fiction, gothic horror and children's drama, and challenge received wisdom by reconsidering how British television drama can be analysed. Each section is preceded by an introduction in which the editors discuss how the essays address existing problems in the field and also suggest new directions for study. The book is split into three sections, addressing the enduring appeal of popular genres, the notion of 'quality' in television drama, and analysing a range of programmes past and present. Popular television drama: critical perspectives will be of interest to students and researchers in many academic disciplines that study television drama. Its breadth and focus on popular programmes will also appeal to those interested in the shows themselves.

The ArtsDecember 2024Horizontal together
Art, dance, and queer embodiment in 1960s New York
by Paisid Aramphongphan
Horizontal together tells the story of 1960s art and queer culture in New York through the overlapping circles of Andy Warhol, underground filmmaker Jack Smith and experimental dance star Fred Herko. Taking a pioneering approach to this intersecting cultural milieu, the book uses a unique methodology that draws on queer theory, dance studies and the analysis of movement, deportment and gesture to look anew at familiar artists and artworks, but also to bring to light queer artistic figures' key cultural contributions to the 1960s New York art world. Illustrated with rarely published images and written in clear and fluid prose, Horizontal together will appeal to specialists and general readers interested in the study of modern and contemporary art, dance and queer history.

The ArtsJune 2017Gothic television
by Helen Wheatley
Gothic television is the first full length study of the Gothic released on British and US television. An historical account, the book combines detailed archival research with analyses of key programmes, from Mystery and Imagination and Dark Shadows, to The Woman in White and Twin Peaks, and uncovers an aspect of television drama history which has, until now, remained critically unexplored. While some have seen television as too literal or homely a medium to successfully present Gothic fictions, Gothic television argues that the genre, in its many guises, is, and has always been, well-suited to television as a domestic medium, given the genre's obsessions with haunted houses and troubled families. This book will be of interest to lecturers and students across a number of disciplines including television studies, Gothic studies, and adaptation studies, as well as to the general reader with an interest in the Gothic, and in the history of television drama.

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.

First World WarNovember 2015The silent morning
Culture and memory after the Armistice
by Edited by Trudi Tate and Kate Kennedy
Now available in paperback, this study of the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 contains fourteen new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style.
