        The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema

        Präsentiert von Slavoj Žižek

        by Slavoj Žižek, Sophie Fiennes

        Slavoj Žižek hat zwei große Leidenschaften: Das Kino und die Psychoanalyse. Was liegt da näher, als Hollywood – das Theater der Träume – auf die Couch zu legen? Für die Regisseurin Sophie Fiennes hat Žižek seine Lieblingsszenen aus etwa vierzig Klassikern (von Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch u. v. a.), ausgewählt, die er in diesem Film – oft an Originalschauplätzen – mit dem begrifflichen Instrumentarium von Freud und Lacan analysiert: Inwiefern korrespondiert die Architektur des Hauses von Norman Bates (»Psycho«) mit Freuds Strukturmodell der Psyche? Was hätte der Entdecker des Ödipus-Komplexes zu dem Konflikt zwischen Luke Skywalker und Darth Vader gesagt? Als »150-minütige Achterbahnfahrt durch die Geschichte von Kino und psychologischer Filmtheorie« bezeichnete die »Frankfurter Rundschau« Žižeks cineastischen Crashkurs, dem Philosophen selbst attestierte sie »beachtliches Starpotenzial.«

        Chagos Islanders in Mauritius and the UK

        Forced displacement and onward migration

        by Laura Jeffery, Alexander Smith

        The Chagos islanders were forcibly uprooted from the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean between 1965 and 1973. This is the first book to compare the experiences of displaced Chagos islanders in Mauritius with the experiences of those Chagossians who have moved to the UK since 2002. It thus provides a unique ethnographic comparative study of forced displacement and onward migration within the living memory of one community. Based on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork in Mauritius and Crawley (West Sussex), the six chapters explore Chagossians' challenging lives in Mauritius, the mobilisation of the community, reformulations of the homeland, the politics of culture in exile, onward migration to Crawley, and attempts to make a home in successive locations. Jeffery illuminates how displaced people romanticise their homeland through an exploration of changing representations of the Chagos Archipelago in song lyrics. Offering further ethnographic insights into the politics of culture, she shows how Chagossians in exile engage with contrasting conceptions of culture ranging from expectations of continuity and authenticity to enactments of change, loss and revival. The book will appeal particularly to social scientists specialising in the fields of migration studies, the anthropology of displacement, political and legal anthropology, African studies, Indian Ocean studies, and the anthropology of Britain, as well as to readers interested in the Chagossian case study. ;

        The Peeps

        Ancoats: the presence of absence

        by Dan Dubowitz

        Ancoats, in Manchester, was once unimaginably different. One of the world's earliest industrial suburbs, it was dark and dense, noisy, frenetic, violent and unhealthy. It was also vibrant and creative. It had a striking vapour, sound and feel. The area today has undergone a striking regeneration. New streets, pavements and civic spaces have been laid down. A series of installations, known as The Peeps, have been created for the area. Built into the fabric of the buildings, the brass peep holes offer a fleeting glimpse of a walled-in space, a tunnel, a disused toilet, a bell tower, a gauge. Dan Dubowitz, given the title of 'cultural masterplanner', records through photographs, interviews, commentary and contemporaneous texts, the recent past and the current regeneration of the suburb. It is a fascinating, beautifully illustrated and designed volume that eloquently depicts the common narrative of industrialisation, slow decay and rebirth.

        The Candy Guild (1). The Magic Pact

        by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko

        The most magical adventure since the discovery of chocolate! Do you believe in magic and miracles? Everyone in the little town of Belony takes magic and miracles for granted – everyone except Elina, who thinks it’s all a load of nonsense. That is, until her nervous neighbour Charlie happens to get hold of a bar of chocolate that has a very strange effect on her. Suddenly Elina is convinced that Charlie has fallen under a spell. Of all people, it’s shy Robin who comes to the girl’s rescue. He is a member of a Candy Guild family – people who have the ability to create magic sweets that will help others. This is how he knows that only the mysterious Candy Guild can lift the curse on Charlie. With a suitcase full of magic sweets, the three of them set out on a dangerous quest. Because not everyone keeps to the pact that magic sweets should only be used to do good… The Candy Guild. The Magic Pact is the first in a new series of magic-fantasy books for children of 9+ - as enchanting as chocolate and as wild as a Christmas cracker!

        Citizen Manchester

        by Dan Dubowitz, Alan Ward

        In 2008, Manchester decided to embark on a counter-cyclical project, much as the city fathers had done in the last great recession, and invest significantly in two civic buildings, two buildings that were cornerstones of the making of the first modern industrialised city: Manchester Town Hall Extension and Manchester Central Library. Early on in this major redevelopment project, artists Dan Dubowitz and Alan Ward were given privileged and open access to witness this transformational period in the life of these two iconic buildings. Through large-format photographs and interviews taken and conducted over a period of eighteen months, they captured the moment when the city's citizens and workers had been locked out and the spaces were being stripped bare; revealing both a glimpse of what they had been and what they might become. The artwork provides insights on the reciprocal relationship between people and place, and reveals how the refurbishment of a building can go far beyond physical refurbishment, questioning the relationships between a city, its citizens and place.

        The Candy Guild (2). The Lost Recipe

        by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko

        Magical sweets and real miracles? Elina has experienced them both in Belony, and now she can hardly wait to dip deeper into the world of the candy crafters. But it’s not long before a new problem arises, because just before Robin’s first candy crafting examination, his magic tool goes bust. Old Mr Snotty knows where they can get help, and he takes Elina and her friends to Bittersweet Avenue. It quickly becomes clear, though, that not all candy crafters are well disposed towards “ungifted” people. There are also rumours about the return of the mysterious Otherwise Society, which has tried once before to bring down the mighty Candy Guild. When Mr Snotty suddenly disappears without a trace, it’s up to Elina, Charlie and Robin to follow the clues he has left behind for them. They soon realize that there is a reason for his disappearance, because the Otherwise Society is looking for something in particular – and Elina, Charlie and Robin have the key to this something in their hands…
