Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sébastien Lifshitz and Céline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors' careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.

Auteurism - the idea that a director of a film is its source of meaning and should retain creative control over the finished product - has been one of film studies' most important paradigms ever since the French New Wave of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the adoption of the term auteur by Andrew Sarris. Through the popular, controversial and critically acclaimed films of Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne borthers, Michael Haneke and Francois Ozon, this book looks into how the meaning of 'auteur' has changed over this half-century, and assesses the current state of Francophone auteur cinema. It combines French philosophical and sociological approaches with methodologies from the Anglo-American fields of gender studies, queer theory and postmodernism. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students of film studies, European cinema and French and Francophone studies, as well as to film enthusiasts.

Prinzessin Sofka Dolgorukij (1907-1994) war eine ungewöhnlich schöne, kluge und eigensinnige Frau. Ihr Lebensweg führte aus den Palästen von St. Petersburg quer durch das Europa des 20. Jahrhunderts, bis in ein schlichtes Cottage in Cornwall. Neben ihrer Begeisterung für den Kommunismus, mehreren Ehemännern und zahlreichen Liebhabern nahmen in ihrem Leben die Literatur und der Film – sie war die persönliche Assistentin von Sir Laurence Olivier – und ihr Kampf für Gerechtigkeit eine wichtige Rolle ein. Einfühlsam erzählt Sofka Zinovieff das Leben ihrer Großmutter – eine Biographie über ein Leben, wie es romanhafter nicht hätte sein können.

Mit sämtlichen Gefühls- und Spielarten der Liebe wird der Pariser Polizeikommissar Olivier konfrontiert. Er hat eine Frau zu verhören, die von sich behauptet sie verwandle die Männer nach dem Akt in alle möglichen und unmöglichen Gestalten, sie entstelle ihre Rivalinnen, bringe Liebhaber und Liebhaberinnen um. Zunächst glaubt der Kommissar, es mit einer Verwirrten zu tun zu haben. Dann begreift er, daß die Person ein ungeheures Wissen um Gefühle von Liebe und Haß, Zuneigung und Zerstörung hat. Immer wieder hört er die Bänder ihres Verhöres ab um dem Geheimnis dieser Frau auf die Spur zu kommen. Am Ende dieser großartig komponierten, spannenden und weit ausgreifenden Erzählung finden die Polizeikollegen den Kommissar ermordet auf.

Shakespeare by McBean collects 300 images, many never before published, taken by the renowned photographer Angus McBean. Incorporating images from every one of Shakespeare's plays performed at the RSC, with some from the Old Vic, between the years 1845-62, it is a veritable who's who of the British stage. Richard Burton, Vivien Leigh, Robert Donat, Alec Guiness, Michael Redgrave, Peggy Ashcroft, Laurence Olivier, Edith Evans, Paul Scofield, Diana Rigg, Anthony Quayle, Charles Laughton, John Gielgud, Peter O'Toole and Dorothy Tutin are just some of the names that appear. Angus McBean was an exceptional talent, whether he was transforming the photography of rehearsals, inspiring the Beatles, or entertaining his admireres with his light-hearted espousal of surrealism in portraiture. In a career lasting half a century his influence can be seen in everything from advertising to pop culture.

Fast dreißig Jahre lang bestand die Freundschaft zwischen Alain Robbe-Grillet und Roland Barthes. Sie begann 1953 mit einem Brief, in dem Barthes den Roman 'Die Radiergummis' als 'gelungen', weil 'avantgardistisch' charakterisierte. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt lobte der Kritiker Barthes das epische Theater Bertolt Brechts, kurz danach entzifferte er den französischen Alltag. Im Laufe der folgenden Jahrzehnte entwickelte sich eine enge Beziehung zwischen dem Romancier, der in dem Theoretiker den Schriftsteller lobte, und dem Semiologen, der im Romanautor den praktizierenden Philosophen der 'écriture' schätzte. Die hier zum ersten Mal publizierten schriftlichen und mündlichen Stellungnahmen von Alain Robbe-Grillet zu Roland Barthes zeigen prototypisch das Spannungsfeld zwischen der Lust am Text und der Lust am Spiel mit der Fiktion, in dem sich die französische Literatur in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte.

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.
