        Transitional justice in process

        Plans and politics in Tunisia

        by Mariam Salehi

        After the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011, Tunisia swiftly began dealing with its authoritarian past and initiated a comprehensive transitional justice process, with the Truth and Dignity Commission as its central institution. However, instead of bringing about peace and justice, transitional justice soon became an arena of contention. Through a process lens, the book explores why and how the process evolved, and explains how it relates to the country's political transition. Based on extensive field research in Tunisia and the US, and interviews with a broad range of international stakeholders and decision-makers, this is the first book to comprehensively study the Tunisian transitional justice process. It provides an in-depth analysis of a crucial period, examining the role of justice professionals in different stages, as well as the alliances and frictions between different actor groups that cut across the often-assumed local-international divide.

        From Perversion to Purity

        The stardom of Catherine Deneuve

        by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris

        Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.

        Das Alltagsleben

        Versuch einer Erklärung der individuellen Reproduktion. Autorisierte Übersetzung von Peter Kain

        by Agnes Heller, Hans Joas, Peter Kain

        Das Interesse an Theorien über das Alltagsleben hat bisher hauptsächlich zu »kulturrevolutionären« Proklamationen und zu einer Rezeption der modernen phänomenologischen Soziologie geführt. In beiden Fällen bleibt es mit der Entfaltung der marxistischen Gesellschaftstheorie unverbunden. Die Studie der ungarischen Philosophin Agnes Heller, einer der engsten Mitarbeiterinnen des späten Georg Lukács, leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Überwindung dieses Dilemmas. Ihr Ausgangspunkt ist ein emphatischer Begriff des »totalen Menschen«, der durch eine Interpretation philosophischer Schriften von Marx erarbeitet und zu einer geschichtsbezogenen Typologie menschlicher Sozialformen entwickelt wird. Das Alltagsleben wird als Gesamtheit der Aktivitäten des Einzelnen zu seiner Reproduktion begriffen. Es ist Anfang und Ende jeder menschlichen Tätigkeit. Die Institutionen, materiellen Werke und umfassenden Deutungssysteme werden in ihrer Entstehung aus den konkreten Bedürfnissen und Akten der Subjekte erfaßt. Der Kern des Buchs ist eine materialreiche Analyse der gemeinsamen Eigenschaften alltäglicher Handlungen, Verkehrsformen, Bewußtseins- und Wahrnehmungsstrukturen.

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.
