        Chantal Akerman

        by Marion Schmid, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram

        Chantal Akerman is widely acclaimed as one of the most original and important directors working in Europe today. A towering figure in women's and feminist film-making, she has produced a diverse and intensely personal body of work ranging from minimalist portraits of the everyday to exuberant romantic comedies, and from documentaries and musicals to installation art. This book traces the director's career at the crossroads between experimental and mainstream cinema, contextualising her work within the American avant-garde of the 1970s, European anti-naturalism, feminism and the post-modern aesthetics. While offering an in-depth analysis of her multi-faceted film style, it also stresses the social and ethical dimension of her work, especially as regards her representation of marginal groups and her exploration of exilic and diasporic identities. Particular attention is given to the inscription of the Holocaust and of Jewish memory in her films. ;

        Unstable universalities

        Poststructuralism and radical politics

        by Saul Newman, Simon Tormey, Jon Simons, Chantal Hamil

        Unstable universalities, available for the first time in paperback, examines the theme of universality and its place in radical political theory. Saul Newman argues that both Marxist politics of class struggle and the postmodern politics of difference have reached their historical and political limits, and that what is needed is a new approach to universality, a new way of thinking about collective politics. By exploring various themes and ideas within poststructuralist and post-Marxist theory, the book develops a new and original approach to universality - one that has important implications for politics today, particularly on questions of power, subjectivity, ethics and democracy. In so doing, it engages in debates with thinkers such as Laclau, Zizek, Badiou and Rancière over the future of radical politics. It also applies important theoretical insights to contemporary events such as the emergence of the anti-globalisation movement, the 'war on terrorism', the rise of anti-immigrant racism, and the nihilistic violence which lurks at the margins of the political. ;

Bùi, Jeremy Buultjens, Helena Maria Calado, Rita Cannas, Salvador Anton Clavé, James Andrew Graham Cooper, Janice Cumberbatch, Osman Cenk Demiroglu, Denyse S. Dookie, Danielle Edwards

It also assesses management and policy options for the future sustainability of threatened tourism coastal destinations. Part 2 presents case studies from all regions of the world (Europe, The Americas, Asia, Africa and Australasia) which synthesise findings to make recommendations that can be used to promote strategies that ameliorate projected impacts of climate change on coastal tourism infrastructure and in turn promote the future sustainability of coastal tourism destinations.

        Die Gefangene

        Nach Motiven von Marcel Proust

        by Chantal Akerman

        Als »Epiker der Innenschau«, so der Filmjournalist Thilo Wydra, gelte Proust gemeinhin als unverfilmbar. Dennoch wagte sich die belgische Regisseurin Chantal Akerman an den fünften Band der Recherche. Tatsächlich handele es sich um »eine freie, sehr freie Adaption«, antwortet sie im Interview. Akerman verlegt die Handlung ins Paris der Gegenwart, verzichtet weitgehend auf jede Psychologie, behält lediglich die Konstellation bei. Simon (wie Marcel im Film heißt) lebt mit Ariane (Albertine) in Paris und verfolgt sie auf Schritt und Tritt, wobei Akerman mit Hitchcocks Vertigo ein Meisterwerk zitiert, das ebenfalls dem Thema Obsession gewidmet ist. Indem sie entschieden auf die Mittel des Films setzt, anstatt die der Sprache nachzuahmen, zeige Akerman anderen Proust-Interpreten, »wie’s gemacht wird« (Fritz Göttler).
