        The child in Spanish cinema

        by Sarah Wright

        In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Mañas's El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

        Über Gewißheit

        by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik Wright, G. E. M. Anscombe, Rush Rhees

        Der Jubiläumsband 250 der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist ein durch und durch philosophisches Buch. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1898-1951) – in der angelsächsischen Welt als »der größte Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts« geachtet, während bei uns die Diskussion über ihn erst beginnt – zieht in diesem Buch eine Summe. Er stellt die Frage: was und wie können wir wissen? Welche Grundgewißheiten gibt es in unserer Sprache, in unserem Denken, denn nur wenn wir sie wissen, können wir miteinander sprechen und uns verstehen. Die Aufzeichnungen zielen auf die Grenzen unserer Erfahrung und die Möglichkeit des Erkennens. ›Über Gewißheit‹, zum ersten Mal aus dem Nachlaß veröffentlicht, in den letzten Lebensmonaten Wittgensteins entstanden, die letzte Seite zwei Tage vor seinem Tod. Henrik von Wright schrieb: »Noch zwei Tage vor seinem Tode schrieb er neue Gedanken. Diese gehören zum Besten, was er gedacht hat.«

        Out of the ivory tower

        The Independent Group and popular culture

        by Anne Massey, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman

        The Independent Group is now the subject of global scholarly interest, and this book, a sequel to The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59, explores the Anglo-American phenomenon from a new perspective. The Group included fine artists Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull; architects Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and Colin St John Wilson; graphic designer Edward Wright; music producer Frank Cordell; and writers Lawrence Alloway, Reyner Banham, John McHale and Toni del Renzio. This radical collective met at the ICA in London during the early 1950s, and worked with and within the new world of both the avant-garde and popular culture. This sequel includes an in-depth discussion of the recent historiography of the Independent Group, and examines its history from an alternative perspective - that of popular culture. The themes of domestic space, Hollywood film, fashion, mass-circulation magazines, science-fiction and popular music are explored, broadening our general understanding. ;

        Physiology and Biochemistry of Free-living and Plant-parasitic Nematodes

        by Edited by Roland N Perry, Denis J Wright

        Accurate and detailed information on the fundamental biology of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes has several important functions. It is needed to gain an understanding of their highly complex ecology and, since many plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests, it also greatly enhances attempts to implement crop protection strategies. In addition, information on physiology and biochemistry has particular relevance to studies of gene function in nematodes and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become established as one of the most important model organisms for molecular genetic studies. Written by leading research workers from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, this is the only up-to-date reference book which reviews and integrates all the current research findings on the physiology and biochemistry of these organisms, including the molecular information which has accumulated in recent years. It is essential reading for researchers, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in plant nematology, parasitology, plant pathology and agricultural zoology and will also be a valuable reference source for students of invertebrate biology, crop protection, and pest management.
