Film theory & criticismAugust 2003Defining 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.

FictionOctober 2001Cult
by Lyubko Deresh
"Cult" is the first novel of the young author, which immediately became a hit among the readership to the extent that in some circles, as if justifying its title, became almost a cult. Youth life, relationships, slang, risky and funny games of teenagers, their attempts to get to "the other side of reality" at any price - this is all Deresh and one of his best books, which became a kind of summary of literary searches of the 90s of the 20th century

March 2022Rage!
Resolute for Anger
by Johanna Kuroczik
A stormy emotional disposition is regarded as primitive, evil. Calmness, yoga and a Buddhist-inspired zen state are good and desirable. A person who flies into a rage has lost composure and loses control. Johanna Kuroczik’s book takes a closer look at the facts about anger. What’s good about being enraged, about this fireball inside, which can also motivate changes? What does neuroscience say about the powerful emotion, and how can we deal with it positively as well as use it constructively?

The ArtsJanuary 2019Jean-Jacques Beineix
by Philip Powrie
This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2008Great Satan's rage
American negativity and rap/metal in the age of supercapitalism
by Scott Wilson
This book looks at how rap and metal, the two most pervasive popular music forms of the 1990s, have been highly engaged with America's role in the world, supercapitalism and their own role within it. This has especially been the case when genres - hitherto clearly identified as indelibly 'black' or 'white' forms of music - have crossed over as an effect of cross-racial forms of identification and desire, marketing strategy, political engagement, opportunism and experimentation. It is how examples of these forms have negotiated, contested, raged against, survived, exploited, simulated and performed 'Satan's rage' that is the subject of this book. The book offers a highly original approach in relating rap/metal to critical theories of economy and culture, introducing a new method of cultural analysis based on theories of negativity and expenditure that will be of great interest to students in media and cultural studies, American studies, critical and cultural theory, advertising and marketing, and sociology and politics. ;
