        Roy Ward Baker

        by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;

        Multifunctional Agriculture

        A Transition Theory Perspective

        by Geoff Wilson

        In a time of great agricultural and rural change, the notion of 'multifunctionality' has remained under-theorized and poorly linked to wider debates in the social sciences. This book analyses the extent to which the proposed transition towards post-productivist agriculture holds up to scientific scrutiny, and proposes a modified productivist/non-productivist model that better encapsulates the complexity of agricultural and rural change. By combining existing notions and concepts, this book (re)conceptualizes agricultural change, creating a new transition theory, and a new way of looking at the future of agriculture.

        Intersections

        Women artists/surrealism/modernism

        by Series edited by Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon, Patricia Allmer

        Featuring new essays by established and emerging scholars, Intersections: Women artists/surrealism/modernism redefines conventional surrealist and modernist canons by focusing critical attention on women artists working in and with surrealism in the context of modernism. In doing so it redefines critical understanding of the complex relations between all three terms. The essays address work produced in a wide variety of international contexts and across several generations of surrealist production by women closely connected to the surrealist movement or more marginally influenced by it. Intersections explores work in a wide range of media, from painting and sculpture to film and fashion, by artists including Susan Hiller, Maya Deren, Birgit Jurgenssen, Aube Elléouët, Dorothea Tanning, Claude Cahun, Elsa Schiaparelli, Joyce Mansour, Leonor Fini, Mimi Parent, Lee Miller, Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun and Eileen Agar.

        Sozialstruktur und Kultur

        Herausgegeben von Hans Haferkamp

        by Hans Haferkamp, Geoff Hunter

        Die Wiederbesinnung der soziologischen Analyse auf den Erklärungsfaktor Kultur Ende der siebziger Jahre gründete nicht auf der Unterstellung der Dominanz der Kultur. Zwar legte sie besonderes Gewicht auf die Untersuchung der kulturellen Bedingtheit sozialen Geschehens, bestritt aber keineswegs den Einfluß von Sozialstruktur auf Kultur, mit anderen Worten: die soziale Bedingtheit der Kultur. Der Band »Sozialstruktur und Kultur«, in dem namhafte Vertreter verschiedener europäischer Theoriesektionen als Autoren vertreten sind, greift die Verknüpfung beider Analysestränge explizit auf. Ausgehend von der Frage nach dem Sinn und der Tragfähigkeit der analytischen Unterscheidung von Struktur und Kultur und der Darlegung der interkulturellen Besonderheiten in der Konzeptualisierung, erhalten wir Einblick sowohl in die grundlegende Theoriediskussion in Europa als auch in empirisch faßbare Materialisationen von Struktur und Kultur in einzelnen Ländern.

        Race, nation and empire

        Making histories, 1750 to the present

        by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit

        The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;
