Language teaching & learning (other than ELT)January 2011Querido Diego, Te abraza Quiela by Elena Poniatowska
by Elena Poniatowska
by Nathanial Gardner
One of the threads that runs through Elena Poniatowska's oeuvre is that of foreigners who have fallen in love with Mexico and its people. This is certainly the case of Querido Diego, te abraza Quiela - a brief novel (so short it was originally published in its entirety in Octavio Paz's literary magazine Vuelta). The Russian exile and painter Angelina Beloff writes from the cold and impoverished post-war Paris to Diego Rivera, her spouse of over ten years. Beloff sends these letters to which there is no response during a time when the emancipation of women has broken many of the standard models and the protagonist struggles to fashion her own. Elena Poniatowska has (re)created these letters and within them one finds the unforgettable testimony of an artist and her lover during the valuable crossroads of a new time when Diego Rivera was forging a new life in his native country. In this edition, Nathanial Gardner comments on the truth and fiction Poniatowska has woven together to form this compact, yet rich, modern classic. Using archives in London, Paris and Mexico City (including Angelina's correspondence held in Frida Kahlo's own home) as well as interviews from the final remaining characters who knew the real Angelina, Gardner offers a mediation of the text and its historical groundings as well as critical commentary. This edition will appeal to both students and scholars of Latin American Studies as well as lovers of Mexican Literature and Art in general.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Joseph Losey
by Colin Gardner
The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

December 2015Frauen, die wir lieben
Filmdiven und ihre heimlichen Verehrer
by Freddy Langer
Von Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn und Romy Schneider, über Marilyn Monroe und Audrey Hepburn hin zu Catherine Deneuve und Charlotte Rampling – die Grandes Dames der Kinoleinwand, die als unwiderstehliche Ikonen, betörende Schönheiten und verwegene Femmes fatales in die Geschichte des Films eingingen, begeistern nicht nur Filmenthusiasten immer wieder aufs Neue, sie haben seit jeher auch Männerherzen höherschlagen lassen. Freddy Langer versammelt in diesem Band die schönsten Liebeserklärungen von Schauspielern, Autoren, Filmemachern, Musikern, Malern, Journalisten, Regisseuren – die geistreich, subtil, direkt, leidenschaftlich, witzig oder tiefsinnig, dabei aber immer ganz ehrlich ihre Verehrung zum Ausdruck bringen. Mit Texten von Volker Schlöndorff, Harry Rowohlt, Peter Härtling, Markus Kavka und vielen anderen.
