      • Helvetia Editrice

        Edizioni Helvetia was born in 1972 from an idea of the poet and musician Gianni Spagnol who, after a six-year experience in Zurich as a printer at an important publishing complex, wanted to found in Venice - between Campo San Rocco and Campo San Tomà, not far from the Frari Church - a printing house/publishing house that would promote and stimulate the historical-literary production of the Venetian and Venetian area in detail. Then, with the 90s, the company was moved to the mainland. In 2006, with the acquisition by its granddaughter Daniela Spagnol, the name changed to Helvetia Editrice and the publications continued to explore themes linked to the territory, especially in the "Rosso Veneziano" series - which gathers historical curiosities, with a "popular" and mainly narrative slant - and the "VeneziaeVenetoVivo" series - more linked to pure historical non-fiction and documentation. Enriched with non-fiction and fiction, since 2019 Helvetia has been back in the game with two series that challenge the usual comfort zone by leaving the local territory: "Taccuini d'Autore" (Author's Notebooks), which collects books on the road, texts that travel and travel along the frontier of writing; and "Nuovi Territori" (New Territories), a line created to enhance new authors and unusual topics from experimental themes.

        Der Briefwechsel und andere Dokumente zu Rilkes Begegnung mit Rodin

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Auguste Rodin, Rätus Luck, Heidrun Werner, Rätus Luck

        Mit dieser Ausgabe wird die Korrespondenz zwischen dem Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke und dem Bildhauer Auguste Rodin erstmals und, soweit überliefert, erstmals vollständig in deutscher Sprache vorgestellt. Die Briefe werden ergänzt durch Tagebuchnotizen und eine Vielzahl von Äußerungen des Dichters über Rodin sowie durch Augenzeugenberichte Dritter. Rätus Luck legt damit über die Dokumentation der wechselvollen Verbindung zwischen zwei großen Künstlern hinaus so etwas wie ein - nach RodinMonographie und Rodin-Vortrag - drittes Rodin-Buch Rilkes vor: Es zeigt den unmittelbaren Eindruck, den die Persönlichkeit des Bildhauers beim jungen Rilke hinterließ, und zeichnet dabei zugleich den Verlauf der Rodin-Rezeption am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nach, zu der Namen wie Anne de Noailles, Rudolf Kassner, Harry Graf Kessler, Sidonie Nádherný von Borutin, Emile Verhaeren oder Helene von Nostitz gehören.

        Monstrous adaptations

        Generic and thematic mutations in horror film

        by Richard Hand, Jay McRoy

        The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a hole. The history of the genre is full of adaptations that have drawn from fiction or folklore, or that have assumed the shape of remakes of pre-existing films. The horror genre itself also abounds with its own myriad transformations and transmutations. The essays within this volume engage with an impressive range of horror texts, from the earliest silent horror films by Thomas Edison and Jean Epstein through to important contemporary phenomena, such as the western appropriation of Japanese horror motifs. Classic works by Alfred Hitchcock, David Cronenberg and Abel Ferrara receive cutting-edge re-examination, as do unjustly neglected works by Mario Bava, Guillermo del Toro and Stan Brakhage.

        Between two worlds of father politics

        USA or Sweden?

        by Michael Rush

        The essential message of the 'two regimes' model is that the social politics of fatherhood have taken on a global significance and that the USA and Sweden represent two ends of an international continuum of ways of thinking about fatherhood. The key selling points of the two regimes model are its topicality, originality, its global appeal, and its particularised appeal to readers in the USA, the Nordic countries, Great Britain, Ireland, the European Union, Japan and China. The book offers students a comparative analytical framework and new insights into why some welfare states have 'father-friendly' social policies and others do not. The book makes an original contribution to the growing fields of welfare regime and gender studies by linking the epochal decline of patriarchal fatherhood to welfare state expansion over the course of the twentieth century and it raises new questions about the legitimacy of religiously inspired neo-patriarchy.

        Listen in terror

        British horror radio from the advent of broadcasting to the digital age

        by Richard Hand

        This groundbreaking book is the first full-length study of British horror radio from the pioneering days of recording and broadcasting right through to the digital audio cultures of our own time. The book offers an historical, critical and theoretical exploration of horror radio and audio performance examining key areas such as writing, narrative, performance practice and reception throughout the history of that most unjustly neglected of popular art forms: radio drama and 'spoken word' auditory cultures. The volume draws on extensive archival research as well as insightful interviews with significant writers, producers and actors. The book offers detailed analysis of major radio series such as Appointment with Fear, The Man in Black, The Price of Fear and Fear on Four as well as one-off horror plays, comedy-horror and experimental uses of binaural and digital technology in producing uncanny audio. ;
