        Round our way

        Sam Hanna's visual legacy

        by Heather Nicholson

        Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

        Carmen

        by Prosper Mérimée, Larissa Bertonasco, Kristian Wachinger

        Die Begegnung der stolzen und leidenschaftlichen Zigeunerin Carmen mit Don José, der ihr rettungslos verfällt und sie schließlich tötet: das ist einer der bekanntesten Stoffe der Weltliteratur und zugleich Vorlage für die erfolgreichste Oper aller Zeiten, »Carmen« von Georges Bizet. Zahlreiche Verfilmungen machten die Figur endgültig zum Mythos. Die meisterhafte Erzählung von Prosper Mérimée ist auch für den, der die Geschichte zu kennen glaubt, eine Entdeckung. In der schnörkellosen, modernen Übersetzung von Kristof Wachinger erstrahlt die widersprüchliche Figur der Carmen, ihre unbändige Freiheitsliebe, ihre Unerschrockenheit und ihr respektloser Witz, in einem neuen faszinierenden Licht. Die bekannte Illustratorin Larissa Bertonasco setzt die besten Szenen einfallsreich ins Bild.

        In the company of wolves

        Werewolves, wolves and wild children

        by Sam George, Bill Hughes

        In the company of wolves presents further research from the Open Graves, Open Minds Project. It connects together innovative research from a variety of perspectives on the cultural significance of wolves, wild children and werewolves as portrayed in different media and genres. We begin with the wolf itself as it has been interpreted as a cultural symbol and how it figures in contemporary debates about wilderness and nature. Alongside this, we consider eighteenth-century debates about wild children ­- often thought to have been raised by wolves and other animals - and their role in key questions about the origins of language and society. The collection continues with essays on werewolves and other shapeshifters as depicted in folk tales, literature, film and TV, concluding with the transition from animal to human in contemporary art, poetry and fashion.
