Masculine Interests
Homoerotics in Hollywood Film
AvRobert Lang
Inbunden, Engelska, 2002
2 285 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Until Masculine Interests not much had been written about men "as men" in the cinema. Now Robert Lang considers how Hollywood articulates the eroticism that is intrinsic to identification between men. He considers masculinity in social and psychoanalytic terms, maintaining that a major function of the movies is to define different types of masculinity, and to either valorize or criticize these forms. Focusing on several films-primarily The Lion King, The Most Dangerous Game, The Outlaw, Kiss Me Deadly, Midnight Cowboy, Innerspace, My Own Private Idaho, the Batman series, and Jerry Maguire-Lang questions the way in which American culture distinguishes between homosexual and nonhomosexual forms of male bonding. In arguing for a much more complex recognition of the homosocial continuum, he contends that queer sexuality is far more present in American cinema than is usually acknowledged.

New Tunisian Cinema
Allegories of Resistance

Tunisian cinema is often described as the most daring of all Arab cinemas. For many, Tunisia appeared to be a model of equipoise between "East" and "West," and yet, during Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's presidency, from 1987 to 2011, the country became the most repressive state in the Maghreb. Against considerable odds, a generation of filmmakers emerged in the mid-1980s to make films that are allegories of resistance to the increasingly illiberal trends that were marking their society. In New Tunisian Cinema, Robert Lang focuses on eight films by some of the nation's best-known directors, including Man of Ashes (1986), Bezness (1992) and Making Of (2006) by Nouri Bouzid, Halfaouine (1990) by Ferid Boughedir, The Silences of the Palace (1994) by Moufida Tlatli, Essaida (1997) by Mohamed Zran, Bedwin Hacker (2002) by Nadia El Fani, and The TV Is Coming (2006) by Moncef Dhouib. He explores the political economy and social, historical, and psychoanalytic dimensions of these works and the strategies filmmakers deployed to preserve cinema's ability to shape debates about national identity.These debates, Lang argues, not only helped initiate the 2011 uprising that ousted Ben Ali's regime but also did much to inform and articulate the aspirations of the Tunisian people in the new millennium.

With an expected population of 400 million by 2040, America is morphing into an economic system composed of twenty-three 'megapolitan' areas that will dominate the nation’s economy by midcentury. These 'megapolitan' areas are networks of metropolitan areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural characteristics.

The Birth of a Nation (1915) remains the most controversial American film ever made, and its director, D. W. Griffith, one of the most extraordinary figures in film history. It was the first true feature film and did more than any other to launch Hollywood both as an industry and as an idea. The film consolidated a trend in cinematic technique and an approach to dramatic narrative that define American cinema to this day. As a great but ideologically troubled film that offers us a reflection of ourselves as Americans, The Birth of a Nation continues to intrigue, challenge, infuriate, and awe.Robert Lang's introduction to this volume explores in fascinating detail the warped view of history that this great film presents. Griffith, a Southerner, was intent on resurrecting, idealizing, and justifying the South. In The Birth of a Nation, it is racism that unites the white North and South; the protection or abolition of slavery is not the divisive issue. In a powerful synthesis of spectacle and narrative, Griffith seeks to give the Southern cause a sense of glamour and high purpose. Lang considers the film as a historical melodrama, and by examining Griffith's "historiography as ideological practice," he traces the way in which the bloody, traumatic reality of the Civil War and Reconstruction becomes melodramatic myth. This unparalleled guide to The Birth of a Nation offers a shot-by-shot continuity script; a biographical sketch of the director; a sampling of contemporary reviews; a series of essays by distinguished critics including James Chandler, Michael Rogin, Janet Staiger, and Mimi White; and a filmography and bibliography.

With an expected population of 400 million by 2040, America is morphing into an economic system composed of twenty-three ''megapolitan'' areas that will dominate the nationâ€™s economy by midcentury. These ''megapolitan'' areas are networks of metropolitan areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural characteristics.
The rise of ''megapolitan'' areas will change how America plans. For instance, in an area comparable in size to France and the low countries of the Netherlands and Belgium â€“ considered among the world''s most densely settled â€“ America''s ''megapolitan'' areas are already home to more than two and a half times as many people. Indeed, with only eighteen percent of the contiguous forty-eight statesâ€™ land base, America''s megapolitan areas are more densely settled than Europe as a whole or the United Kingdom.
Megapolitan America goes into spectacular demographic, economic, and social detail in mapping the dramatic â€“ and surprisingly optimistic â€“ shifts ahead. It will be required reading for those interested in Americaâ€™s future.

Primary Hypertension
Basic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Some of the leading scientists in the field of hypertension accepted an invi- tation to actively participate in an international symposium on primary hypertension. Scientists from 13 countries - from western, southern, and eastern Europe, Australia, and the United States - were present. The meeting was held in Cologne in March 1985. After previous meetings and workshops at Titisee in the Black Forest and several symposia on the renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system here in Cologne, this symposium on prima- ry hypertension was organized in order to induce and to stimulate critical discussion on the basic pathogenetic mechanisms involved and the recently established therapeutic implications. Numerous studies have been based on the concept that the elevation in blood pressure is mediated by several vasopressor substances. For this reason the renin-angiotensin system has been considered to be the essential endocrine mechanism involved in developing and sustaining arterial hyper- tension. Other vasopressor factors, such as catecholamines, vasopressin, and serotonin, have been studied extensively and were assumed to play additional parts in blood pressure regulation.However, several other ap- proaches have been initiated in recent years.

Hidden beneath the rolling landscapes of modern-day Turkey lies an architectural marvel that defies belief. Discovered completely by accident when a man knocked down a basement wall in 1963, Derinkuyu is a massive, multi-level underground city capable of sheltering up to 20,000 people, along with their livestock and food stores. Featuring sophisticated ventilation shafts, deep wells, churches, and heavy rolling stone doors, it is a testament to the desperate ingenuity of ancient peoples. But who built it, and what unimaginable terrors drove an entire civilization to abandon the sunlight?This captivating book takes readers deep into the subterranean labyrinths of Cappadocia. Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, the author paints a vivid picture of life hundreds of feet below the earth. You will explore the engineering genius required to carve out miles of volcanic rock without modern tools, and the complex social structures that kept the inhabitants sane during months of lockdown. The narrative traces the history of these cities from their disputed origins in the Hittite era through their use by early Christians fleeing Roman and later Islamic persecution. Rich with historical context and thrilling archaeological detective work, this volume sheds light on humanity's incredible instinct for survival. Delve into the dark corridors of Derinkuyu and discover the forgotten secrets of a subterranean society that successfully hid from the world for centuries.
