Film theory & criticismAugust 2003Defining cult movies
The cultural politics of oppositional taste
by Susan Wiliams
Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 1994Italian women writing
by Sharon Wood
How has it happened that from being politely ignored or marginalized just half a century ago, women writers in Italy are now at the centre of literary activity? To what extent does writing by women reflect the successes and failures of Italy in the post-war period? What form did the feminist movement in Italy take, and how did this affect what - and how - women wrote? And how are women who write responding to a more fragmented post-modern age? These are just some of the questions asked of the relationship between women and fiction in post-war Italy in this anthology. It includes stories by Cialente, Ginzburg, Ortese, Morante, Romano, Maraini and Duranti as well as Bompiani, Sanvitale, Mizzau, Scaramuzzino, Capriolo and Petrignani. The thirteen stories presented offer a range of style and content indicative of the wealth and diversity of writing by women, and their reading is supported by critical notes and an extensive vocabulary. This is a clear and challenging introduction to the rich field of women and fiction in Italy. ;

September 1996Shtika
Versuch, das Tabu zu brechen
by Naomi Bubis, Sharon Mehler
Angefangen hat alles, als sich Ann und Sarah bewußt wurden, daß sie als Töchter von Überlebenden der Shoah die Geschichte ihrer Familien nur in Fragmenten kennen. Die persönliche Biographie wird zu Hause tabuisiert, totgeschwiegen. Die Eltern erzählen nichts, die Kinder stellen keine Fragen. Dieses jahrzehntelange Schweigen, hebräisch »Shtika«, hat sie interessiert. Wie war es wirklich? Sie wollen einblicken in diese Welt der Berührungsängste und gegenseitigen Rücksichtnahmen, wollen mehr erfahren.
