View Rights PortalCinesonica: sounding film and video explores previously neglected and under-theorised aspects of film and video sound, drawing on detailed case study analyses of Hollywood cinema, art cinema, animated cartoons, and avant-garde film and video. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the soundtrack, and breaking away from the focus on narrative and signification that has tended to dominate the study of film sound, the book examines the way in which sound's materiality figures within audiovisual experience. Through a close examination of sound-image relations in a range of film and video forms and genres - including Warner Bros. cartoons, scratch video, and artist's film and video - Cinesonica recasts the film and video text as the meeting point of audio and visual materialities, cultural practices and perceptual activity. The interdisciplinary approach adopted by the book makes its discussion of sound of interest to those studying and working in a range of subject disciplines, including film studies, sound studies, sonic arts, cultural studies, music and art history.
Vom Einwanderersohn zum Millionär, vom Grafiker zum Künstler, vom schüchternen Studenten zum Star der New Yorker Partyszene – das Leben von Andy Warhol ist eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Zu Recht gilt dieses Genie der Eigenvermarktung als einer der bedeutendsten Pop-Art-Künstler, dessen größtes Kunstwerk er selbst war: Andy Warhol ist Pop, und Pop ist Andy Warhol.
Mit acht Jahren wurde Andy Warhol, der schon immer etwas bleicher aussah als alle anderen, sehr krank. Die lange Zeit im Bett vertrieb er sich mit Comicheften und er begann zu malen, aus Zeitungen schnitt er Fotos von Hollywoodstars und Gebrauchsgegenständen aus. Seine Kunstwerke zeigten häufig die alltäglichsten Dinge. Nicht allen gefiel das. Was für ein Künstler soll das sein, der die Dose einer Tomatensuppe gleich 32-mal auf dieselbe Leinwand malt. Heute ist Andy Warhol der erfolgreichste und bekannteste Pop-Art-Künstler seiner Zeit, weil er aus Alltäglichem Kunst gemacht hat. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

Will they make it to the Temple? Will they be welcomed when they arrive? Can Jothan unravel the secrets that seem to control the lives of everyone he meets, including his mysterious saviour?

Stuttgart, Café Rösler, Samstag, den 3. April 2004 (vormittags) – ein Mann trinkt. Ralph Zimmermann ist allein mit sich und dem Alkohol. Oder auch nicht. Bei ihm sind Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Jim Morrison und nicht zuletzt seine Geliebte Joey. Tot zwar allesamt, aber doch anwesend genug, um einen Stift zumindest auf glatter Fläche ein paar Millimeter rollen zu lassen. Und natürlich, um zu kommentieren, was Ralphi-Ralph erzählt: von sich, seinem Leben, seiner Liebe und seinem eigenen Ausflug ins Totenreich. »Falls es Sie interessiert, was uns nach dem Tod erwartet und was Jim Morrison und Andy Warhol heute so treiben, kommen Sie um diesen Roman nicht herum. Und falls es Sie nicht interessiert, dann sind Sie wahrscheinlich schon tot und haben es nur noch nicht gemerkt.« Denis Scheck in Druckfrisch, ARD

Tells the extraordinary story of the English poet Randall Swingler, godson of the Archbishop of Canterbury, communist, librettist, publisher, propagandist, poet and war-hero. Focuses on the Second World War and the story of the African and Italian campaigns, recorded uniquely through the eyes of the ordinary soldier. A case-study of the intellectual consequences of the Cold War in Britain, McCarthyism AND Zhdanovism. It is a book about poetry and music. And it is a love story. A wholly original contribution to an area of literary history which reclaims the lost history of the London literary Left. Differs from most other books about poetry and politics in Britain in the middle decades of the twentieth century by drawing on new and original sources. ;
