At most recent count, there are no fewer than forty-five women in Brazil directing or codirecting feature-length fiction or documentary films. In the early 1990s, women filmmakers in Brazil were credited for being at the forefront of the rebirth of filmmaking, or retomada, after the abolition of the state film agency and subsequent standstill of film production. Despite their numbers and success, films by Brazilian women directors are generally absent from discussions of Latin American film and published scholarly works.
Filling this void, Brazilian Women''s Filmmaking focuses on women''s film production in Brazil from the mid-1970s to the current era. Leslie L. Marsh explains how women''s filmmaking contributed to the reformulation of sexual, cultural, and political citizenship during Brazil''s fight for the return and expansion of civil rights during the 1970s and 1980s and the recent questioning of the quality of democracy in the 1990s and 2000s. She interprets key films by Ana Carolina and Tizuka Yamasaki, documentaries with social themes, and independent videos supported by archival research and extensive interviews with Brazilian women filmmakers. Despite changes in production contexts, recent Brazilian women''s films have furthered feminist debates regarding citizenship while raising concerns about the quality of the emergent democracy. Brazilian Women''s Filmmaking offers a unique view of how women''s audiovisual production has intersected with the reconfigurations of gender and female sexuality put forth by the women''s movements in Brazil and continuing demands for greater social, cultural, and political inclusion.493 kr

Over the past two decades, the Latinx population has grown faster in the South than any other region of the United States, and Georgia now ranks among the top ten US states in terms of the size of its Latinx community. Responding to our region's changing demographic profile, this open-access textbook delves into the vibrant phenomenon of film, television, and digital media by and about the Latinx community, introducing readers to the core concepts in each of these media studies fields. Featuring thematic chapters by both distinguished and emerging scholars, the book uses media as a lens to illuminate the diversity and complexity of the US Latinx community in the past and present, delving into questions of national origin, race/color, gender, and sexuality. It also includes profiles of prominent Latinx creatives that can be used as models for classroom assignments.

“David Hardwick and Leslie Marsh have assembled a contentious collection of independent thinkers on liberalism’s identity and prospects. Should liberalism be democratic, classical, ordo, legalistic, culture-based, market-based, or what? The international crew of authors—from Australia, Canada, China and the USA—draw upon the insights of key historic figures from Locke to Montesquieu to Burke to Dewey to Hayek to Rawls (and of course others, given liberalism’s rich history), and they leave us with a set of liberalisms both in collision and in overlapping agreement. This book is stimulating reading for those engaged with next-generation liberal thought.”
—Stephen R. C. Hicks, Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University.
This collection redresses the conceptual hubris and illiteracy that has come to obscure the central presuppositions of classical liberalism - that is, the wresting of epistemic independence from overwhelming concentrations of power, monopolies and capricious zealotries, whether they be statist, religious or corporate in character.

Though Walker Percy is best known as a novelist, he was first and foremost a philosopher. This collection offers a sustained examination of key aspects to his more technical philosophy (primarily semiotics and the philosophy of language) as well as some of his lesser known philosophical interests, including the philosophy of place and dislocation. Contributors expound upon Percy’s multifaceted philosophy, an invitation to literature and theology scholars as well as to philosophers who may not be familiar with the philosophical underpinnings of his work.
