The ArtsFebruary 2007Mathieu Kassovitz
by Will Higbee, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram
Mathieu Kassovitz is arguably the most important filmmaker to have emerged from French cinema in the past two decades. As a director, his work often engages with highly controversial socio-political issues whilst still managing to attract and connect with a popular audience - and, above all, with a youth audience. He is also one of the few contemporary French filmmakers who is capable of productively engaging with Hollywood, in terms of cinematic style, narrative and genre, yet still retaining his own identity as a French filmmaker. In addition to his directorial successes, Kassovitz has also achieved considerable critical and commercial success in France as a screen actor. His films - whether directed by or acted in, or both - show an astonishing variety, from his early Métisse (1993), his break-through, La Haine (1995) through to Jeunet's Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2000), Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopatre (2002) and Gothika (2003). Will Higbee's study is the first to explore of one of the most fascinating characters in French cinema. ;

Mit ihm scheint die Familie zum Leben zu erwachen.Else Lasker-Schüler: Arthur Aronymus und seine VäterDas Stück spielt um 1840 in Westfalen und zeigt, wie eine jüdische Familie, der Gutsbesitzer Moritz Schüler mit seinen dreiundzwanzig Kindern, mit der wachsenden Pogromstimmung in der christlichen Umgebung konfrontiert wird.Dea Loher: Klaras Verhältnisse Klara sucht eine echte Lebensaufgabe, einen Platz im Leben. Bei ihrer Reise durch die bundesrepublikanische Wirklichkeit begegnen ihr die unterschiedlichsten Begierden und Sehnsüchte - eine tragikomische Gratwanderung zwischen hochfliegenden Wünschen und banalen Abgründen.Roland Schimmelpfennig: Die arabische NachtSiebter Stock, Wohnung 32: Wie von einer unbestimmten Sehnsucht getrieben, treffen sich hier in dieser »arabischen Nacht« Franziska, Fatima, ihr Freund Kalil, der Hausmeister Lomeier und Karpati, der Voyeur.

April 1996Die Chroniken des Kantors
Roman
by Alvaro Cunqueiro, Elke Wehr
Eine äußerst lebhafte Gesellschaft ist es, die den Kantor und Bombardinspieler Charles Anne Guenolé Mathieu de Crozon in ihrer Kutsche zu einer Beerdigung abholt. Merkwürdig nur, daß sie dann die frische Leiche als ihresgleichen begrüßen. Hurtig geht es über die Wege einer von Revolutionsliedern widerhallenden Bretagne, worin das Licht der Aufklärung alle Gespenster der alten Welt mitsamt ihren schönsten Reizen und Rätseln zum - seinerseits nicht unangefochtenen - Teufel schicken möchte. Der Kantor aber und seine fröhliche Horde genußsüchtiger Toter besichtigen nicht ohne Wehmut ihre Welt in Ruinen.

by Julia Weißflog, Steffen Ortmüller, Daniel Wende
Saying goodbye to a loved one is always hard. Jon, the little hero of this story, serves as an example of how children can deal with the pain of loss. When Jon’s grandfather dies, he becomes a star. Jon decides to look for his grandfather’s star to say goodbye, and begins a journey through space and through his own grief. He soon realises that this is no easy search. His feelings alternates between disappointment, euphoria, anger, and sadness. Fortunately, the man on the moon explains to the little astronaut the special nature and uniqueness of the stars for the relatives on earth. Only there do the stars twinkle and shine for grandchildren, children, and everyone else who misses the deceased. Jon finally understands that his grandfather is dead, but is not simply gone, because in his memory, in his thoughts, and in the starry sky his grandfather is still there and makes his star shine for everyone who thinks of him. For: • children (ages 6–12) who suffer from the fear of losing a close family member or who have lost a family member• parents, relatives• therapists

The ArtsJanuary 2019Reframing difference
Beur and banlieue filmmaking in France
by Carrie Tarr
Reframing difference is the first major study of two overlapping strands of contemporary French cinema, cinema beur (films by young directors of Maghrebi immigrant origin) and cinema de banlieue (films set in France's disadvantaged outer-city estates). Carrie Tarr's insightful account draws on a wide range of films, from directors such as Mehdi Charef, Mathieu Kassovitz and Djamel Bensalah. Her analyses compare the work of male and female, majority and minority film-makers, and emphasise the significance of authorship in the representation of gender and ethnicity. Foregrounding such issues as the quest for identity, the negotiation of space and the recourse to memory and history, she argues that these films challenge and reframe the symbolic spaces of French culture, addressing issues of ethnicity and difference which are central to today's debates about what it means to be French. This timely book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between cinema and citizenship in a multicultural society.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2008Policing the peace in Northern Ireland
Politics, crime and security after the Belfast Agreement
by Jon Moran
This timely and controversial book shows how crime, and the authorities' response to crime, became central to the peace process in Northern Ireland. At times, paramilitary activity threatened to destabilise the peace in Northern Ireland after 1998, but crime was central to maintaining capacity should the groups return to war. Over time, the reduction of crime was central to these groups' own attempts to reform and official judgements as to whether they were genuinely demobilising. The state's response to crime added controversy. Police reform produced the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the new Organised Crime Task Force signalled the importance of crime control, but the Assets Recovery Agency, supposedly the 'magic bullet' for organised crime, misfired. Law enforcement was also deeply affected by the British state's response to paramilitary crime. By 2007, peace was apparently secure and paramilitaries were 'de-criminalising', but this often chaotic process was marked with questions about the British state's adherence to the rule of law. Incorporating first-hand research in the PSNI, the book will be of interest to general readers and scholars of Irish Studies, criminology, and British and comparative politics. ;
