The ArtsApril 2011Roy 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. ;

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Agathe Sorlet
Josephine liebte den großen Auftritt auf der Bühne. Weil in ihrer Heimat Rassentrennung herrschte, ging sie nach Paris. Dort tanzte sie in zahlreichen Shows und verzauberte das Publikum. Außerdem wurde sie zum Filmstar und arbeitete sogar als Spionin. Später kehrte sie zurück in die USA und kämpfte für Bürgerrechte. Sie adoptierte 12 Kinder aus der ganzen Welt und nannte sie ihre „Regenbogenfamilie“. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

April 1966Dichtung als symbolische Handlung
Eine Theorie der Literatur. Aus dem Amerikanischen übersetzt von Günther Rebing
by Kenneth Burke, Günter Rebing
»Es leidet keinen Zweifel, daß er der überlegenste Kritiker und Theoretiker der Literatur ist, den Amerika heute besitzt« – mit diesem Urteil begrüßt W. H. Auden 1941 Kenneth Burkes »Philosophy of Literary Form«, einen der folgenreichsten neueren Versuche, Funktion und Bedeutung der Dichtung zu bestimmen. Burkes Einfluß auf die zeitgenössische angelsächsische Kritik und Literaturwissenschaft ist intensiv, wenngleich lärmlos. Zwar hat er in seiner Ästhetik soziologische, psychoanalytische und linguistische Erkenntnisse aufgenommen, aber ohne sich einer Schule oder Perspektive mit Haut und Haaren zu verschreiben. Seine Literaturtheorie begreift dichterische Werke als ›symbolische‹ Handlungen.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure
by Larry D Carver
Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure provides a reading of Rochester's poems, dramatic works, and letters in a biographical context. In doing so, it sheds light on a central vexed issue in Rochester criticism, the relationship of the poet to his speaker. It also reveals that Rochester's work clusters about a central theme, the pursuit of pleasure, a pursuit motivated by a courtship of purity that grew out of Rochester's Christian and God-fearing upbringing. This rhetoric of courtship, in turn, reveals the unity of Rochester's work as the courtier and his various personae try to persuade his audiences, secular and divine, of his worth.

MedicineSeptember 2023Situating religion and medicine in Asia
Methodological insights and innovations
by Michael Stanley-Baker
This edited volume presents the latest research on the intersection of religion and medicine in Asia. It features chapters by internationally known scholars, who bring to bear a range of methodological and geographic expertise on this topic. The book's central question is to what extent 'religion' and 'medicine' have overlapped or interrelated in various Asian societies. Collectively, the contributions explore a number of related issues, such as: which societies separated out religious from medical concerns, at which times and in what ways? Where have medicine and religion converged, and how has such knowledge been defined by scholars and cultural actors? Are 'religion' and 'medicine' the best terms by which scholars can grapple with knowledge about the sacred and the self, destiny and disease?

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2018Race and the Yugoslav region
Postsocialist, post-conflict, postcolonial?
by Catherine Baker, Gurminder Bhambra
This is the first book to situate the territories and collective identities of former Yugoslavia within the politics of race - not just ethnicity - and the history of how ideas of racialised difference have been translated globally. The book connects critical race scholarship, global historical sociologies of 'race in translation' and south-east European cultural critique to show that the Yugoslav region is deeply embedded in global formations of race. In doing this, it considers the everyday geopolitical imagination of popular culture; the history of ethnicity, nationhood and migration; transnational formations of race before and during state socialism, including the Non-Aligned Movement; and post-Yugoslav discourses of security, migration, terrorism and international intervention, including the War on Terror and the present refugee crisis.
