The ArtsOctober 2024Queer cinema in contemporary France
Five directors
by Todd Reeser
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.

by Randy D Allen, Harbans L Bhardwaj, Benjamin Todd Campbell, Enrico Casadei, Louise Estabrook, Daniel Geller, Lou A Honary, Murray B Isman, Peter Kulakow, Lava Kumar, J E Losey, Denis Murphy, Dharmalingam Pitchy, Sadequr Rahman, Dennis T Ray, Roger Ruan, Sivendra Sahi, Dev S Shrestha, Jorge da Silva, R Siva, Kazuhiro Takamizawa, Donghai Wang, Jay-lin Jane, Ralph E. H Sims, Gillian Eggleston, Renyong Zhao, Sarita Jaiswal. Edited by Bharat P Singh.
The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials. Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw materials, methods utilized in producing different finished products, current and future research in crop production and processing and the present state and future prospects for the industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops and their uses, this book will be an important resource for students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy makers.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2005Graham Swift
by Daniel Lea, Susan Williams
This book offers an accessible critical introduction to the work of Graham Swift, one of Britain's most significant contemporary authors. Through detailed readings of his novels and short stories from 'The Sweet Shop Owner' (1980) to 'The Light of Day' (2003), Daniel Lea lucidly addresses the key themes of history, loss, masculinity and ethical redemption, to present a fresh approach to Swift. This study proposes that one of the side-effects of modernity has been the destruction of traditional pathways of self and collective belief, leading to a loss of understanding between individuals about their duties to each other and to society. Swift's writing returns repeatedly to the question of what we can believe in when all the established markers of identity - family, community, gender, profession, history - have become destabilised. Lea suggests that Swift increasingly moves towards a notion of redemption through a lived ethical practice as the only means of finding solace in a world lacking a central symbolic authority. ;

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Der unaufhaltsame Superstar | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Borghild Fallberg, Svenja Becker
Mit 14 überredete Taylor ihre Eltern, von Pennsylvania nach Nashville, in die Stadt der Country-Musik, zu ziehen. Denn darum ging es ihr: Country-Sängerin zu werden. Als sie mit 16 ihr erstes, mit Platin ausgezeichnetes Album Taylor Swift herausbrachte, kannten sehr bald alle ihren Namen. Dann wagte sie den Wechsel von Country zu Pop. Die Texte zu ihren Songs schreibt sie auch weiterhin selbst. Sie füllt die größten Stadien der Welt, und die Erde bebt, wenn die Swifties ihr zujubeln. Sie ist ein Star ohne Allüren, der es versteht, Gefühle in Worte zu fassen, die sagen: Du bist okay, so wie du bist. 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.

September 2017Gullivers Reisen
Nacherzählt von Doron Rabinovici
by Jonathan Swift, Flix, Doron Rabinovici
Knapp dreihundert Jahre ist es her, dass die geneigte Leserschaft erstmals von den abenteuerlichen Reisen des Wundarztes und Schiffskapitäns Lemuel Gulliver erfuhr. Mit Staunen hörte sie von der Geltungssucht der daumengroßen Bewohner Liliputs, vom unmoralischen Treiben der grobschlächtigen Riesen von Brobdingnag und vom Land der edlen Houyhnhnms und ihren gierigen und gemeinen Bediensteten, den uns erschreckend ähnlichen Yahoos. Doron Rabinovici hat das Beste aus Jonathan Swifts berühmtem Roman ausgewählt und neu erzählt. Der von Flix kongenial illustrierte Band beweist, dass Swifts politische Satire auf staatliche Willkür und den Glauben an die Vernunft bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren hat.
