Auteurism, politics, landscape and memory
by Maria M. Delgado, Robin Fiddian
This collection offers a new lens through which to examine Spain's cinema production following the isolation imposed by the Franco regime. The seventeen key films analysed in the volume span a period of 35 years that have been crucial in the development of Spain, Spanish democracy and Spanish cinema. They encompass different genres (horror, thriller, melodrama, social realism, documentary), both popular (Los abrazos rotos/Broken Embraces, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and more select art house fare (En la ciudad de Sylvia/In the City of Sylvia, El espíritu de la colmena/Spirit of the Beehive) and are made in English (as both first and second language), Basque, Castilian, Catalan and French. Offering an expanded understanding of 'national' cinemas, the volume explores key works by Guillermo del Toro and Lucrecia Martel alongside an examination of the ways in which established auteurs (Almodóvar, José Garci, Carlos Saura) and younger generations of filmmakers (Cesc Gay, Amenábar, Bollaín) have harnessed cinematic language towards a commentary on the nation-state. The result is a bold new study of the ways in which film has created new prisms that have determined how Spain is positioned in the global marketplace.

August 1988Gedichte für Städtebewohner
Herausgegeben und mit einem Nachwort von Franco Buono
by Bertolt Brecht, Franco Buono, Franco Buono
Seit den Anfängen der Massengesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert ist sie nicht mehr aus der ›lyrischen‹ Produktion wegzudenken: die Stadt. Vervielfältigung wie Zerstörung menschlicher Beziehungen, Befreiung von (dörflicher) Naturbornierung und Zerstörung natürlicher Bedürfnisse, kurz: Faszination und Grauen sind die Pole dieses genuin ›modernen‹ Motivs. Seine raffiniertesten Versionen verschränken beides: entdecken die Trauer des Berauschenden großer Städte und die Faszination noch ihres Unmenschlichen. Auch Brechts Stadt-Gedichte sind, obwohl gewiß das Trostlose und Unmenschliche akzentuierend, nicht ohne eine solche dialektische Kehrseite. Denn ihre gesellschaftliche Hoffnung wie ihre didaktische Maxime ist, daß »die tiefste Verzweiflung die Bedingung für die Rettung« ist – so Franco Buono, der diese Auswahl zusammengestellt hat. Buonos Nachwort hebt das Besondere von Brechts Stadt-Gedichten hervor und skizziert die Geschichte des Stadt-Motivs in Brechts Werk.

Abstrakte Modelle für die Literaturgeschichte
by Franco Moretti, Florian Kessler, Alberto Piazza
Man könne auch als Literaturwissenschaftler durchaus über Bücher reden, ohne jemals eines gelesen zu haben – mit solch provokanten Thesen bringt Franco Moretti seit Jahren die internationale Literaturtheorie durcheinander. In seinem neuen Buch demonstriert Moretti, der ob seiner innovativen Verve bereits mit Umberto Eco verglichen wird, wie eine »abstrakte Literaturwissenschaft« aussehen könnte: Anstatt sich mit einzelnen kanonischen Texten auseinanderzusetzen, kartographiert er die Landschaft englischer Dorfgeschichten oder erprobt die Anwendbarkeit evolutionstheoretischer Konzepte auf die Entwicklung des Detektivromans.

The ArtsJanuary 2019The war that won't die
The Spanish Civil War in cinema
by David Archibald
The war that won't die charts the changing nature of cinematic depictions of the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, a significant number of artists, filmmakers and writers - from George Orwell and Pablo Picasso to Joris Ivens and Joan Miró - rallied to support the country's democratically-elected Republican government. The arts have played an important role in shaping popular understandings of the Spanish Civil War and this book examines the specific role cinema has played in this process. The book's focus is on fictional feature films produced within Spain and beyond its borders between the 1940s and the early years of the twenty-first century - including Hollywood blockbusters, East European films, the work of the avant garde in Paris and films produced under Franco's censorial dictatorship. The book will appeal to scholars and students of Film, Media and Hispanic Studies, but also to historians and, indeed, anyone interested in why the Spanish Civil War remains such a contested political topic.

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.
