Slums and Redevelopment Policy and Practice in England 1918–1945 with Particular Reference to London

Slums and Redevelopment Policy and Practice in England 1918–1945 with Particular Reference to London

Slums and Redevelopment (1992) moves between national policy formation and detailed local studies particularly of London studies involving landlords and property tenants and rehousing and the implementation of programmes. The interwar period it examines saw the restoration of slum clearance following a period of opposition and the onset of the first national slum clearance programme reaching its climax in the plans for large-scale redevelopment mad during World War II. Inner city redevelopment of this kind had its intellectual origins in the 1930s and had much wider repercussions for property and social policy. | Slums and Redevelopment Policy and Practice in England 1918–1945 with Particular Reference to London

Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

The premise of this book is that films like other works of the imagination may be elucidated by applying methods derived from psychoanalysis and that doing so will result in a deeper and richer appreciation of the film's meaning. The book explores a number of feature films that lend themselves particularly well to this process. Both in his introduction and throughout the text the author comments on the method and discusses continuities similarities and differences among the films. The book is structured according to the central themes of the films including time and death love and lust secrets and human identity. Some of the films are relevant to more than one of these thematic elements. The introductory essay explores the themes their representation in the films and the ways in which they may be elucidated by a psychoanalytically informed critique. Brief paragraphs between the sections of the book facilitate the transitions. In an appendix there are three essays titled 'Mise-en-scene ' 'Whatever Flames Upon the Night ' and 'Mad Doctors.
