View Rights PortalThis book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema. ;

Little Grey Rabbit and Sam Pig are just two of the inspired characters created by Alison Uttley, loved by millions and still very popular today. But who was the real woman spinning enchanting tales of country life and lore, magic and friendship? Alison Uttley gathered much of the inspiration for her stories from the fond memories of her Derbyshire childhood and her love of the countryside. A talented and prolific writer, she was still producing stories in her late eighties. Yet she was often plagued by self-doubt, and extremely possessive over her close friends, family and work. Tragically, Alison's husband committed suicide before her writing successes. She soon developed a smothering relationship with her only child John, even convincing him to jilt his first fiancée and escape to Scotland - the honeymoon destination. With exclusive and unrestricted access to her personal diaries and private letters, Denis Judd paints an intriguing portrait of one of the most successful, creative and troubled children's authors of modern times. ;
Man muss kein Joseph-Beuys-Kenner sein, um sich seine »kleinsten Aufzeichnungen« zu erschließen. Ein ungebundenes Notizbuch in Form fliegender Blätter und Zettel, sind sie über den Kontext des künstlerischen Werks hinaus immer auch als eigenständige Texte, Textbilder lesbar. Begriffsstudie, philosophische Reflexion, poetisches Fragment und politischer Traktat bezeichnen den Raum, in dem sich die Notate bewegen, ohne sich um Definitionen literarischer Genres zu kümmern. Was sie durch mehr als vier Jahrzehnte und über verschiedene Werkphasen hinweg verbindet, ist weniger eine bestimmte Form als das nicht nachlassende Interesse ihres Verfassers, das eigene Denken im Zuge der Niederschrift zu fokussieren und weiterzutreiben. Graphisch und vom Gestus her erinnert manches an Unternehmen symbolisch-begrifflicher Weltkartierung etwa Swedenborgs oder Jakob Böhmes, auf die Beuys sich bezogen hat, zugleich sind es unverkennbar Kartierungen seiner eigenen Zeit, die das Verhältnis von Ökonomie und Natur ausmessen, Transzendenz im Menschen verorten, künstlerische und gesellschaftliche Herausforderung engführen und in die Verantwortung des Einzelnen stellen. Ansätze zu Sternkarten für einen irdischen Gebrauch. Steffen Popps Auswahl zielt – nicht zuletzt im Sinne der Beuys'schen Rede vom »erweiterten Kunstbegriff« – auf das poetische Moment dieser »kleinsten Aufzeichnungen«. Sie lädt zu ihrer näheren Erkundung ein, mit wachem Blick für einen möglichen Gebrauch in der Gegenwart.

Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.
Von frechen, vorwitzigen, neugierigen, abenteuerlustigen, schüchternen und nachdenklichen Katzen handelt Robert Gernhardts Katzenbuch. Mit Humor und Wortwitz erzählt er von großen und kleinen Sorgen im Katzenalltag und von Abenteuern auf Samtpfoten: von Pumpis anstrengender Woche und ihrer Reise in den Süden, von ihrer Freundin Missu und deren Entdeckungstouren und von der besonderen Verantwortung des Katzenpräsidenten. Illustriert wurden diese Geschichten und Gedichte von Almut Gernhardt.
