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.

October 2017Die Geschichte der gestiefelten Kitty
by Beatrix Potter, Quentin Blake, Sabine Erbrich
»Es war einmal eine ehrliche, wohlerzogene junge schwarze Katze« … Dass Kitty alles andere als ehrlich und wohlerzogen ist, liegt bei einer Erzählung von Beatrix Potter natürlich auf der Hand. Dass sie ihrem Frauchen, einer liebenswürdigen alten Dame, aber derart hinterlistige Streiche spielt, damit konnte niemand rechnen. Anstatt nämlich brav im Gartenhäuschen zu nächtigen, streunt Kitty in Frack, Pelzstiefeln und mit einer Schrotflinte bewaffnet durch die Wälder und begegnet allerlei fiesen Gestalten wie zwei ungehobelten Frettchen und – zu Kittys großem Entsetzen – schließlich auch dem hundsgemeinen Fuchs Mr. Todd. Zum Glück gibt es da noch ihre Freunde, die Kitty aus dem größten Schlamassel wieder heraushelfen … Eine bisher unveröffentlichte Geschichte von Beatrix Potter - erstmals auf Deutsch Mit Illustrationen des britischen Großmeisters Sir Quentin Blake

January 2019Vor dem Palast
Gespräche über Einar Schleef
by Corinne Orlowski
»Der Ort vor dem Palast ist der Ort der Transformation, des Figurwerdens, des Tragödiewerdens, er ist der eigentliche Ort des Theaters«, sagt die Theaterwissenschaftlerin Ulrike Haß im Gespräch. Dort, inszenierend und über das Theater schreibend (Droge Faust Parsifal), hat sich der Theatermann Schleef aufgehalten. Von dort aus hat er operiert. Aber wer war Einar Schleef (1944-2001)?Die Gespräche dieses Bandes kreisen die kontroverse Ausnahmeerscheinung und das Werk dieses Künstlers ein, der Regisseur, Autor, Maler, Darsteller, Filmer und Fotograf in einer Person war. Die Herausgeberin fragt: Was machte ihn aus? Welche Entdeckungen sind in den künstlerischen Disziplinen, die er beherrschte, zu machen? Was an den Erkenntnissen, Thesen, Provokationen und Demonstrationen, die Einar Schleefs Arbeiten bereithalten, verlangt danach, vorgezeigt und diskutiert, verwandelt und weitergegeben zu werden? Wo steht das Theater heute? Wie geht es weiter?Mit der Herausgeberin gesprochen haben: Sebastian Baumgarten, Bibiana Beglau, Jakob Fedler, Michael Freitag (über den Maler), Christine Groß, Ulrike Haß, Carl Hegemann, Regine Herrmann (über den Fotografen), Jürgen Holtz, Elfriede Jelinek, Wolfram Koch, Thomas Köck, Hans-Ulrich Müller-Schwefe (über den Autor), Armin Petras, Claus Peymann, Günther Rühle, Ulrich Rasche, Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Heiner Sylvester (über den Filmer), Rita Thiele, Susan Todd, Martin Wuttke.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Bertrand 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.

The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction
by Rob Breton
Penny politics offers a new way to read early Victorian popular fiction such as Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, and The Mysteries of London. It locates forms of radical discourse in the popular literature that emerged simultaneously with Brittan's longest and most significant people's movement. It listens for echoes of Chartist fiction in popular fiction. The book rethinks the relationship between the popular and political, understanding that radical politics had popular appeal and that the lines separating a genuine radicalism from commercial success are complicated and never absolute. With archival work into Newgate calendars and Chartist periodicals, as well as media history and culture, it brings together histories of the popular and political so as to rewrite the radical canon.

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.
