This edited volume discusses images that bleed, speak, cry, move, and behave in ways we usually attribute to living creatures.Living images have been the object of devotion as well as targets of destruction, and they have been marginalised in both culture and cultural studies for their ambivalence as well as their transgressive nature. But what is it that makes images the loci of such powerful properties? The present volume is an attempt to recuperate the living image, draw it from the margins, and re-illuminate its importance for cultural history. The title of this book reflects the ambition of the contributions to navigate between the Middle Ages of the past and the Middle Ages of the present. Our aim is to provide new theoretical reflections and methodologies concerning the study of material agency and “living images” both historically and today. The chapters include close examination of surviving objects and archival research, as well as theoretical reflections, and span chronologically and geographically across Europe from North to South, medieval to modern.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, medieval studies, material culture, theatre studies, and religious history.

This edited collection invites fresh readings of play and storytelling in the Barbie movie (2023) through the lens of the Bible and theology. For Christopher B. Hays, Meghan R. Henning, and their contributors, the Barbie movie is more than pink and mojo dojo casa houses; they argue that the film offers a nuanced reflection of Biblical and theological ideas. The chapters herein analyze the cultural impact of Barbie on its own terms, critically engaging its explicit attempts to offer social critiques of capitalism, patriarchy, ableism, and racism. From exploring Ruth Handler as God, Barbie as both Jesus and a jezebel, and historical Judean “doll-like” figurines, this volume’s interdisciplinary interlocutors identify how Barbie depicts the stories we tell about ourselves, society, and God.

Elevate your Godot 4 development skills with SOLID principles, game architecture patterns, and scalable workflows. Learn to create maintainable systems, organize projects, and build release-ready games that grow beyond prototypesFree with your book: DRM-free PDF version + access to Packt's next-gen Reader*Key FeaturesApply SOLID principles and proven design patterns in Godot 4Build scalable game architecture using components, events, and servicesRefactor prototypes into maintainable, production-ready projectsBook DescriptionMany Godot projects start as quick prototypes but become difficult to maintain as they grow. Deep node hierarchies, tightly coupled scripts, and expanding gameplay systems can slow development and make it harder to add features, fix bugs, and ship with confidence. Godot 4 Best Practices addresses those challenges by focusing on architectural practices that help projects stay scalable and maintainable. You ll start by applying the SOLID principles to Godot s node and script model, learning when to choose scenes or scripts, how to keep hierarchies shallow, and when data-driven Resources are a better fit than extra nodes. Next, you ll implement core design patterns, including signals and notifications for decoupling, state machines, strategy-based AI, and swapping deep inheritance for modular components. You ll also apply Factories, Builders, Commands, and Services with clear Godot examples, so systems stay flexible and testable. Finally, you ll structure larger projects with data-driven saves and preferences, as well as layered gameplay architecture to avoid God classes. By the end, you ll write cleaner GDScript, organize large scenes with confidence, and build systems that are easier to test, maintain, and extend. No hype just proven practices for building Godot projects that scale. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase requiredWhat you will learnApply SOLID principles in Godot's node and script systemDecide when to use scenes, scripts, or Resources for logicUse signals, State, and Strategy patterns for gameplay logicBuild modular, component-based systems over inheritanceAutomate instancing with Factory and Builder patternsDecouple input, audio, and saves with Command and Service patternsSeparate logic from data with Resources and data-driven designStructure gameplay systems using scalable architectural patternsWho this book is forThis book is ideal for intermediate and advanced Godot developers who already know how to make simple games but want to adopt professional practices for larger, more complex projects. It is especially useful for indie developers, technical leads, and small teams who need scalable workflows, as well as educators and advanced students who want to learn how to apply SOLID principles and design patterns in Godot. If you ve ever struggled with messy prototypes, monolithic scripts, or unscalable Scene Trees, this book will show you how to organize, refactor, and future-proof your projects.

Motion picture production, distribution, exhibition and reception has always been a transnational phenomenon, yet East Germany, situated at the edge of the post-war Iron Curtain, separated by a boundary that became materialized in the Berlin Wall in 1961, resembles nothing if not an island, a protected space where film production developed under the protection of government subsidy and ideological purity. This volume proposes on the contrary that the GDR cinema was never just a monologue. Rather, its media landscape was characterized by constant dialogue, if not competition, with both the capitalist West and socialist East. These thirteen essays reshape DEFA cinema studies by exploring international networks, identifying lines of influence beyond national boundaries and recognizing genre qualities that surpass the temporal and spatial confines. The international team of film specialists present detailed analyses of over fifty films, including fiction features, adaptations of literary classics, children's films, documentaries, and examples from genres such as music, sci-fi, Westerns and crime films.With contributions by Seán Allan, Hunter Bivens, Benita Blessing, Barton Byg, Jaimey Fisher, Sabine Hake, Nick Hodgin, Manuel Köppen, Anke Pinkert, Larson Powell, Brad Prager, Marc Silberman, Stefan Soldovieri, and Henning Wrage.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit filmischer Raumkonstruktion zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Theoriegeschichte des Films. Bereits 1916 entwarf Hugo Münsterberg ein Modell filmischer Darstellungsformen in räumlichen Begriffen. Von den klassischen Filmtheorien Rudolf Arnheims, Béla Balázs'', André Bazins oder Siegfried Kracauers, über die semiotisch-psychoanalytische Ideologiekritik der 1970er Jahre bis hin zu phänomenologischen Ansätzen oder Gilles Deleuzes philosophischer Kinotheorie bildete der Raum einen zentralen Aspekt filmtheoretischer Diskurse.Neben den historischen Erscheinungsformen und theoretischen Implikationen filmischer Raumkonstruktion thematisieren die Beiträge des Bandes methodische Voraussetzungen einer kunsthistorischen Filmanalyse in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Disziplinen Film- und Medienwissenschaft, Literaturwissenschaft, Philosophie und Musikwissenschaft. Mit Beiträgen von Stephan Günzel, Malte Hagener, Rayd Khouloki, Guido Kirsten, Burkhardt Lindner, Fabienne Liptay, Martin Loiperdinger, Johannes Pause, Kathrin Rothemund, Karl Sierek, Oliver Schmidt, Iakovos Steinhauer, Ursula von Keitz, Regine Prange, Ralf Michael Fischer und Henning Engelke.

Das Buch eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf eine der produktivsten, aber in der Forschung bislang vernachlässigte Phase experimenteller Filmproduktion an den Schnittstellen von Filmästhetik, Kunsttraditionen, sozialem Wandel und wissenschaftlichem Paradigmenwechsel. Auf der Grundlage von bislang unerschlossenen Quellen folgt das Buch den miteinander verwobenen Entwicklungslinien von ästhetischer Innovation, dem Streben der Experimentalfilmer um kulturelle Anerkennung und Institutionalisierung sowie den sich verändernden Konfigurationen technologischer Bildmedien. Kanonische Arbeiten von Filmemachern wie Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren, James Broughton oder den Brüdern John und James Whitney werden im Kontext von übersehenen, hier oft erstmals besprochenen Filmen betrachtet. Diese erweiterte Sichtweise stellt etablierte historische und theoretische Annahmen zum Experimentalfilm dieser Zeit grundsätzlich in Frage. Zugleich erschließt sie neue historische Kontexte, in denen sich Produktion, Rezeption und kritischer Diskurs zum Experimentalfilm entfalteten. Methodisch verbindet das Buch ästhetische Analysen und archivalische Forschung mit einem medienarchäologischen Ansatz, um die Relevanz des Experimentalfilms für eine historische Perspektivierung aktueller Diskurse zu Medienwandel und posthumanistischen Konzeptionen von Subjektivität aufzuzeigen

Across Africa, a burgeoning middle class has become the poster child for the 'Africa rising' narrative. Ambitious, aspirational and increasingly affluent, this group is said to embody the values and hopes of the new Africa, with international bodies ranging from the United Nations Development Programme to the World Bank regarding them as important agents of both economic development and democratic change. This narrative, however, obscures the complex and often ambiguous role that this group actually plays in African societies.Bringing together economists, political scientists, anthropologists and development experts, and spanning a variety of case studies from across the continent, this collection provides a much-needed corrective to the received wisdom within development circles, and provides a fresh perspective on social transformations in contemporary Africa.

Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the phenomenon of people visiting locations from popular novels, films or television series. Places of the Imagination presents a timely and insightful analysis of this form of media tourism, exploring the question of how best to explain the increasing popularity of media tourism within contemporary culture. Drawing on extensive empirical and interview material, this book examines the representation of landscapes in popular narratives that have inspired media tourism, whilst also investigating the effects over time of such tourism on local landscapes, and the processes by which tourists appropriate the landscape, experiencing and accommodating them into their imagination. Oriented around three central case studies of popular television detective shows, famous films and classic literature, Places of the Imagination develops a new theoretical understanding of media tourism. As such, it will appeal to sociologists and cultural geographers, as well as those working in the fields of media and cultural studies, popular and fan culture, tourism and the sociology of leisure.
