Paul Auster's Writing Machine - Evija Trofimova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Auster's Writing Machine - Evija Trofimova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Auster is one of the most acclaimed figures in American literature. Known primarily as a novelist, Auster’s films and various collaborations are now gaining more recognition. Evija Trofimova offers a radically different approach to the author’s wider body of work, unpacking the fascinating web of relationships between his texts and presenting Auster’s canon as a rhizomatic facto-fictional network produced by a set of writing tools. Exploring Auster’s literal and figurative use of these tools – the typewriter , the cigarette , the doppelgänger figure, the city – Evija Trofimova discovers Auster’s “writing machine”, a device that works both as a means to write and as a construct that manifests the emblematic writer-figure. This is a book about assembling texts and textual networks, the writing machines that produce them, and the ways such machines invest them with meaning. Embarking on a scholarly quest that takes her from between the lines of Auster’s work to between the streets of his beloved New York and finally to the man himself, Paul Auster’s Writing Machine becomes not just a critical investigation but a critical collaboration, raising important questions about the ultimate meaning of Auster''s work, and about the relationship between texts, their authors, their readers and their critics.

Paul Verhoeven?s Cinema of Violence - Steven Rybin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Verhoeven?s Cinema of Violence - Steven Rybin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The first English-language critical study of the films of Paul Verhoeven, the Dutch director of provocative and vividly imagined films such as Turkish Delight (1973), Robocop (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), Showgirls (1995), Starship Troopers (1997), Black Book (2006), and Elle (2016). Where some audiences find in Paul Verhoeven little more than empty provocation (or, even worse, immoral scandal), Paul Verhoeven’s Cinema of Violence takes a more careful and nuanced look at this director’s body of work and its penchant for violence of various kinds. Exploring the breadth of this director’s career, this book encompasses everything from his early short works as a student filmmaker in the 1960s to the most recently completed Benedetta (2021), a French-language film based on Judith C. Brown’s 1986 academic volume Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy .This volume studies a wide range of themes and ideas across Verhoeven’s work, including his cinematic approach to violence, his adaptation of literature, his work in notable genres such as science fiction and the war film, his work with actors and direction of performances, his provocative treatment and representation of sexuality and gender, as well as his intense and frequently baroque cinematic style. It also traces in his work a career-long interest in religion: although an avowed atheist, Verhoeven has been obsessed with the image of Jesus in nearly all his films, a theme in his cinema that dovetails with his 2011 academic study Jesus of Nazareth . Through this comprehensive approach, Paul Verhoeven’s Cinema of Violence offers a passionate, nuanced, and comprehensive critical look at the cinematic output of one of the Netherlands’ – and Hollywood’s – most vital contemporary filmmakers.

Our Two-Track Minds - Professor Or Dr. Robert A. Paul - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Our Two-Track Minds - Professor Or Dr. Robert A. Paul - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

While many of Freud’s original formulations have required either revision or rejection and replacement with newer models, his cultural books, such as Civilization and Its Discontents and Totem and Taboo , though extremely influential in the early part of the 20th century , have more recently been either neglected or else dismissed as long-outdated fantasies. Robert A. Paul shows that Freud''s ideas in these books, and his thinking on how human society is possible, given the unpromising materials out of which it is constructed (i.e. human beings), can appear in a different and more favorable light when viewed through the lens of contemporary anthropology, cultural studies, and evolutionary theory.

The Science of Screenwriting - Paul Gulino - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Science of Screenwriting - Paul Gulino - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In a world awash in screenwriting books, The Science of Screenwriting provides an alternative approach that will help the aspiring screenwriter navigate this mass of often contradictory advice: exploring the science behind storytelling strategies. Paul Gulino, author of the best-selling Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach , and Connie Shears, a noted cognitive psychologist, build, chapter-by-chapter, an understanding of the human perceptual/cognitive processes, from the functions of our eyes and ears bringing real world information into our brains, to the intricate networks within our brains connecting our decisions and emotions. They draw on a variety of examples from film and television -- The Social Network, Silver Linings Playbook and Breaking Bad -- to show how the human perceptual process is reflected in the storytelling strategies of these filmmakers. They conclude with a detailed analysis of one of the most successful and influential films of all time, Star Wars , to discover just how it had the effect that it had.

Game Play - Paul (depaul University Booth - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The 21st century has seen a board game renaissance. At a time when streaming television finds millions of viewers, video games garner billions of dollars, and social media grows ever more intense, little has been written about the rising popularity of board games. And yet board games are one of our fastest growing hobbies, with sales increasing every year. Today’s board games are more than just your average rainy-day mainstay. Once associated solely with geek subcultures, complex and strategic board games are increasingly dominating the playful media environment. The popularity of these complex board games mirrors the rise of more complex cult media products. In Game Play: Paratextuality in Contemporary Board Games , Paul Booth examines complex board games based on book, TV, and film franchises, including Doctor Who , The Walking Dead, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Hunger Games and the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft. How does a game represent a cult world? How can narratives cross media platforms? By investigating the relationship between these media products and their board game versions, Booth illustrates the connections between cult media, gameplay, and narrative in a digital media environment.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. The open-access edition of this text was made possible by a Philip Leverhulme Prize from The Leverhulme Trust. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Where does a password end and an identity begin? A person might be more than his chosen ten-character combination, but does a bank know that? Or an email provider? What’s an ‘identity theft’ in the digital age if not the unauthorized use of a password? In untangling the histories, cultural contexts and philosophies of the password, Martin Paul Eve explores how ‘what we know’ became ‘who we are’, revealing how the modern notion of identity has been shaped by the password. Ranging from ancient Rome and the ‘watchwords’ of military encampments, through the three-factor authentication systems of Harry Potter and up to the biometric scanner in the iPhone, Password makes a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the words, phrases and special characters that determine our belonging and, often, our being.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .

Bambi's Jewish Roots and Other Essays on German-Jewish Culture - Paul (ohio State University Reitter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Bambi's Jewish Roots and Other Essays on German-Jewish Culture - Paul (ohio State University Reitter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Reitter has won acclaim as both a scholar and a public critic for his writing on German Jewish culture in the twentieth century. Bambi’s Jewish Roots brings together the best of Reitter’s essayistic work, exploring the lives of well-known figures and revealing surprising new perspectives. These include how Felix Salten’s Zionist commitments manifest themselves in his most famous work, the novel Bambi ; what Gershom Scholem’s diaries tell us about his development as a thinker and person; why German-Jewish writers hated Stefan Zweig so passionately; where myth-busting books about Franz Kafka have indulged in myth-building; how Freud’s Moses and Monotheism offers a theory of Jewish self-hatred more than an explanation of anti-Semitism; and why Heinrich Heine felt aburning need to distance himself from his fellow liberal Jewish critic Ludwig Börne.The works collected here, many of which were originally published in forums such as the New York Review of Books , London Review of Books , the Times Literary Supplement , The Nation , Harper’s Magazine , and the Jewish Review of Books , have earned Reitter his reputation as a witty, erudite, and deeply illuminating critic.

The Nobel Prize and the Formation of Contemporary World Literature - Paul Tenngart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Nobel Prize and the Formation of Contemporary World Literature - Paul Tenngart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

An exploration of the history, ambitions, and impact of the Nobel Prize in literature as it gained a central position in 20th-century global literary culture. Few scholars would deny that the Nobel Prize is the most prestigious literary award in the world. But what mechanisms made it possible for 18 Swedish intellectuals to become the world’s most influential literary critics? Paul Tenngart argues that the Nobel Prize in literature has become a special kind of international canonization: exerted from a non-central, semi-peripheral position, the award sometimes confirms and reinforces hierarchical relations between literary languages and cultures, and sometimes disturbs established patterns of dominance and dependence. Drawing from a wide range of contemporary theories and methods, this multifaceted history of the Nobel Prize questions how the Swedish Academy has managed to keep the prize''s global status through all the violent international crises of the last 120 years; how the selection of laureates shaped the idea of ''universal'' literary values and defined literary quality across languages and cultures; and what impact the prize has had on the distribution and significance of particular works, literatures and languages. The Nobel Prize and the Formation of Contemporary World Literature explores the history and impact of the Nobel Prize in literature from the first award in 1901 through recent controversies involving Bob Dylan and #MeToo, arguing that the prize is a unique performative act that has been – and still is – central in our continual and collective construction of world literature.

Northern Crossings - Paul Tenngart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Northern Crossings - Paul Tenngart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This open access book uses Swedish literature and the Swedish publishing field as recurring examples todescribe and analyse the role of the literary semi-peripheral position in world literature from various perspectives and on meso, micro and macro levels, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. This includes the role of translation in the semi-periphery and the conditions under which literature travels to and from that position. The focus is not on Sweden, as such, but rather on the semi-peripheral transitional space as exemplified by the Swedish case. Consisting of three co-written chapters, this study sheds light on what might be called the semi-peripheral condition or the semi-periphery as an area of transition. As part of the Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics in World Literatures series, it makes continuous use of the concepts of ''cosmopolitan'' and ''vernacular'' – or rather, the processual terms, cosmopolitanization and vernacularization – which provide an overall structure to the analysis of literature and literary phenomena. In this way, the authors show that the semi-periphery is an ideal point of departure to further the understanding of world literature, because it is a place where the cosmopolitan (the literary universal) and the vernacular (the rootedness in a particular culture or place) interact in ways that have not yet been thoroughly explored.

Annihilating Noise - Paul Hegarty - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Annihilating Noise - Paul Hegarty - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Noise has become a model of cultural and theoretical thinking over the last two decades. Following Hegarty''s influential 2007 book, Noise/Music , Annihilating Noise discusses in sixteen essays how noise offers a way of thinking about critical resistance, disruptive creativity and a complex yet enticing way of understanding the unexpected, the dissonant, the unfamiliar.It presents noise as a negativity with no fixed identity that can only be defined in connection and opposition to meaning and order. This book reaches beyond experimental music and considers noise as an idea and practice within a wide range of frameworks including social, ecological, and philosophical perspectives. It introduces the ways in which the disruptive implications of noise impact our ways of thinking, acting, and organizing in the world, and applies it to 21st-century concerns and today’s technological ecology.

Hollywood Independent - Dr. Paul Kerr - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Hollywood Independent dissects the Mirisch Company, one of the most successful employers of the package-unit system of film production, producing classic films like The Apartment (1960), West Side Story (1961), The Great Escape (1963) and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) as irresistible talent packages. Whilst they helped make the names of a new generation of stars including Steve McQueen and Shirley MacLaine, as well as banking on the reputations of established auteurs like Billy Wilder, they were also pioneers in dealing with controversial new themes with films about race ( In the Heat of the Night ), gender ( Some Like it Hot ) and sexuality ( The Children''s Hour ), devising new ways of working with film franchises ( The Magnificent Seven, The Pink Panther and In the Heat of the Night spun off 7 Mirisch sequels between them) and cinematic cycles, investing in adaptations of bestsellers and Broadway hits, exploiting frozen funds abroad and exploring so-called runaway productions. The Mirisch Company bridges the gap between the end of the studio system by about 1960 and the emergence of a new cinema in the mid-1970s, dominated by the Movie Brats.
