        Defining cult movies

        The cultural politics of oppositional taste

        by Susan Wiliams

        Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.

        A Case for Kwiatkowski (28). The Nose of the Goddess

        by Jürgen Banscherus/Ralf Butschkow

        Private detective Kwiatkowski never fails to solve a case! A trip to Athens? Kwiatkowski can hardly believe his luck when Olga, an old friend, sends him an invitation. But no sooner has he arrived in Greece than he finds himself caught up in a very tricky case: a greenhorn detective named Hercules needs his help to expose the handiwork of two unscrupulous fraudsters. It is a matter of honour that even during his holidays Kwiatkowski must use his superskills. Soon the two detectives are on the move among the ancient temple walls in their search to solve the mystery of the goddess Athene’s nose…

        The culture of toleration in diverse societies

        Reasonable tolerance

        by Catriona McKinnon, Dario Castiglione

        The idea of toleration as the appropriate response to difference has been central to liberal thought since Locke. Although the subject has been widely and variously explored, there has been reluctance to acknowledge the new meaning that current debates on toleration have when compared with those at its origins in the early modern period and with subsequent discussions about pluralism and freedom of expression. This collection starts from a clear recognition of the new terms of the debate. It recognises that a new academic consensus is slowly emerging on a view of tolerance that is reasonable in two senses. Firstly of reflecting the capacity of seeing the other's viewpoint, secondly on the relatively limited extent to which toleration can be granted. It reflects the cross-thematic and cross-disciplinary nature of such discussions, dissecting a number of debates such as liberalism and communitarianism, public and private, multiculturalism and the politics of identity, and a number of disciplines: moral, legal and political philosophy, historical and educational studies, anthropology, sociology and psychology. A group of distinguished authors explore the complexities emerging from the new debate. They scrutinise, with analytical sophistication, the philosophical foundation, the normative content and the broadly political implications of a new culture of toleration for diverse societies. Specific issues considered include the toleration of religious discrimination in employment, city life and community, social ethos, publicity, justice and reason and ethics. The book is unique in resolutely looking forward to the theoretical and practical challenges posed by commitment to a conception of toleration demanding empathy and understanding in an ever-diversifying world. ;

        RNAi for Plant Improvement and Protection

        by Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet, Lorenzo Burgos

        RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed.

        Herbert Achternbusch: EllaDie Lebensgeschichte einer Frau namens Ella als Geschichte einer Gefangenschaft - in der Familie, im Gefängnis, in der psychiatrischen Klinik. Die Geschichte von der systematischen Vernichtung eines Menschen durch die Gesellschaft.Dario Fo: Zufälliger Tod eines AnarchistenIn Mailand war 1969 der Anarchist Pino Pinelli aus einem Fenster im 4. Stock des Mailänder Polizeipräsidiums ›gestürzt‹. Die behördenoffizielle Version der Todesursache lautete auf Selbstmord. Eine Untersuchung der tatsächlichen Vorgänge kam erst nach der Uraufführung von Fos Stück im Jahre 1970 in Gang, einer volkstümlichen Groteske, die sich der gesammelten Widersprüche der polizeiamtlichen Erklärungen bediente, um die allgemeinen Zweifel an der Selbstmordversion zu artikulieren.Barrie Keeffe: Gimme shelterEine Trilogie über die Zwänge zur Anpassung junger Leute an Verhältnisse, die nicht die ihren sind, mit denen sie nicht fertig werden können. Junge Verwaltungsangestellte versuchen vergeblich, sich den Konkurrenzspannungen und kümmerlichen Berufsperspektiven zu entziehen. - Ein Schüler droht, Lehrer, Lehrerin und Direktor in die Luft zu sprengen, weil sie ihn durch ein mieses Zeugnis zum Versager ohne Berufsaussichten gestempelt haben. - Jungmanager versuchen, mit revolutionärem Geschwätz einen jungen Gärtner zum Widerstand gegen das System zu ermuntern, dem sie sich selbst total ergeben haben.Bodo Kirchhoff: Das Kind oder Die Vernichtung von NeuseelandDas Eigenheim als geschlossene Anstalt. Ein zurückgebliebenes Kind, das nur einen Ausweg hat: sich im Garten ein Loch zu graben, durch die Erde, bis nach Neuseeland. Eine Mutter, die ihren Sohn systematisch von allem fernhält. Ein Vater, der an die Begabung seines Sohnes glaubt und einen Therapeuten engagiert, der aus dem Fluchtloch eine Baustelle machen soll, um dem Tun des Kindes einen Sinn zu geben.Heiner Müller: Germania Tod in Berlin2000 Jahre deutsche Geschichte. Die Tradition von Spaltung und Demütigung, von Opportunismus und besinnungsloser Selbstzerstörung. Eine groteske Revue der deutschen Misere, ein Angriff auf die deutschen Werte und Mythologien, ein wüstes Panorama deutscher Übermenschen und Untertanen. Auch ein Stück über die deutsche Arbeiterbewegung und ihre Niederlagen.

Not only are the selected articles humorous, but also rich in imagination. They are also rich in profound educational philosophy that can enlighten the mind and help readers to reflect on themselves. The sword of Hercules, a time-space weapon with super-killing power, was stolen, and Professor Noviton sent one of the most outstanding students at the Galaxy University, Heiyang and Baiyue, to search for the sword. All that they encountered hindered them from finding the sword. Eventually they realized that all these challenges were designed by Professor Noviton. Surprisingly, the sword of Herax was really stolen at this time ...

        Wer hat nicht von ihnen gehört? Von Ikarus, der bei seinem Vogelflug der Sonne zu nah kam, von Arachne, die besser weben konnte als die Göttin Pallas Athene? Vom überheblichen Sisyphos, von Oidipus und der Sphinx, der geraubten Europa, den Argonauten auf der Suche nach dem Goldenen Vlies?

Hier sind sie versammelt, die schönsten Mythen und Sagen der griechischen Welt, erzählt nach den antiken Quellen. Und Burkhard Neie hat mit seiner singulären Buchgestaltung und seinen Illustrationen daraus einen opulenten Geschenkband gemacht. Ein buchkünstlerisches Ereignis! »Am Anfang war das Nichts. Nur endlose Ödnis, der Weltenraum leer, ohne Ordnung oder Ziel. Dann erschien Gaia, die Göttin der Erde und Mutter allen nachfolgenden Lebens. Und mit ihr das Liebesbegehren, die mächtigste der archaischen Kräfte: Eros.«
