<p><em>Cult Films: Taboo and Transgression</em> looks at nine decades of cult films history within American culture. By highlighting three films per decade including a brief summary of the decade's identity and sensibility, the book investigates the quality, ironies, and spirit of cult film evolution. The twenty-seven films selected for this study are analyzed for story content and in their respective transgressions regarding social, aesthetic, and political codes. Characteristic of this book is the notion that many exciting genres make up cult films-including horror, sci-fi, fantasy, <em>film noir</em>, and black comedy. Further, the book reaches out to several foreign film directors over the decades in order to view cult films as an intentional art form. Political and ideological controversies are covered; arresting back-story details that lend perspective on a film fill out the analysis and the historic framework for many film titles. The book, by emphasizing the condensed survey over decades and by choosing outstanding titles, differs from other general studies on cult films.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Hip-hop as survivor testimony? Rhymes as critical text? Drawing on her own experiences as a lifelong hip-hop head and philosophy professor, Lissa Skitolsky reveals the existential power of hip-hop to affect our sensibility and understanding of race and anti-black racism. Hip-Hop as Philosophical Text and Testimony: Can I Get a Witness? examines how the exclusion of hip-hop from academic discourse around knowledge, racism, white supremacy, genocide, white nationalism, and trauma reflects the very neoliberal sensibility that hip-hop exposes and opposes. At this critical moment in history, in the midst of a long overdue global reckoning with systemic anti-black racism, Skitolsky shows how it is more important than ever for white people to realize that our failure to see this systemーand take hip-hop seriouslyーhas been essential to its reproduction. In this book, she illustrates the unique power of underground hip-hop to interrupt our neoliberal and post-racial sensibility of current events.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Empathy and the Phantasmic in Ethnic American Trauma Narratives examines a burgeoning genre of ethnic American literature called phantasmic trauma narratives, which use culturally specific modes of the supernatural to connect readers to historical traumas such as slavery and genocide. Drawing on trauma theory and using an ethnic studies methodology, this book shows how phantasmic novels and films present historical trauma in ways that seek to invite reader/viewer empathy about the cultural groups represented. In so doing, the author argues that these texts also provide models of interracial alliances to encourage contemporary cross-cultural engagement as a restorative response to historical traumas. Further, the author examines how these narratives function as sites of cultural memory that provide a critical purchase on the enormity of enslavement, genocide, and dispossession.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Reflections on the Music of Ennio Morricone: Fame and Legacy provides new contextualized perspectives on Ennio Morricone’s position as a radical composer working at the cutting edge of music within the frame work of his cinematic compositions. The Italian composer has reached world fame as the creator of some 500 film scores and hundreds more arrangements for commercial recordings; however, Sciannameo argues that Morricone’s legacy must include his concert works, a catalogued list of more than 100 titles. By analyzing the composer’s formative years as a music practitioner and his transition into the world of composing for the screen, Franco Sciannameo reconsiders the best of Morricone’s popular compositions and reveals the challenging concert works which have been an intimate expression of Morricone’s lifelong creative season. Reflections on the Music of Ennio Morricone exploresMorricone’s legacy, its nature, and its eventual impact on posterity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>The Evil Twins of American Television examines evil-twin depictions in over fifty years of television, comparing male twins to female twins and male-writer depictions to female-writer depictions. Kristi Rowan Humphreys evaluates The Patty Duke Show, Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, I Dream of Jeannie, and The Brady Bunch, among other television programs that use the twinning trope to explore themes of feminism and identity. Employing traits identified by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique as belonging to the “evil” side of her “schizophrenic split” theory, Humphreys analyzes the ways in which these alter ego characters embody the desire for a separate self and independence through loose inhibitions, career interests, political interests, intellectual prowess, and assertiveness. This book then compares female-written twin episodes to male-written twin episodes, finding that when “evil twin” episodes are written by women writers, the twins are presented less as oppositional binaries and more as compatible, often symbiotic binaries. Thus, the women writers of these shows offer a compelling response to Friedan’s text, one that acknowledges and underscores the many complexities of womenーthe image of which cannot in reality be so easily split into two oppositional binaries. Humphreys then connects 1960s depictions to more current evil-twin examples, including those in Friends, Knight Rider, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>A lyrical meditation on the enduring obstacles women artists and writers face in a world still unaccustomed to recognizing female genius.</strong></p> <p>Voted the “Next Picasso” in her rural high school’s yearbook, South-African Canadian author Kasia Van Schaik considers what it means for a young woman to take up a mantle usually reserved for white heterosexual male genius. Drawing on a diverse web of literary and cultural sources and artistic icons, from Michelangelo to Ana Mendieta, Gauguin to Gertrude Stein, and Alice Walker to Alice Munro, <em>Women Among Monuments</em> asks what, beyond a room of one’s own, are the necessary conditions for female genius? Where does the inner flint of artistic permission come from? What is the oxygen that keeps it burning?</p> <p>Through her lyrical biographies of female solitude, constraint, and perseverance, Kasia Van Schaik blazes a path for more inclusive artmaking practices, communities, and monuments.</p> <p>A RARE MACHINES BOOK</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>The inside story of the grassroots fight to have a suicide barrier erected on Toronto’s “bridge of death.”</strong></p> <p>Most Torontonians have no idea their city once hosted the second most popular suicide magnet in North America, behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Since its completion in 1918, more than four hundred people jumped to their death from the Bloor Viaduct, which spans the cavernous Don Valley.</p> <p>That number might still be rising if not for the tireless efforts of a group of volunteers, led by two citizens, who fought City Hall for years to get a suicide barrier erected. Not only did they win, they saved numerous lives and brought to light valuable research on how barriers actually lower suicide numbers overall. The resulting barrier ー The Luminous Veil ー has been praised for its ingenious and inspiring design.</p> <p><em>The Suicide Magnet</em> tells how the battle was won, and explores the ongoing efforts to help those suffering from mental health challenges.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><em>Heritage Toronto Book Award ー Shortlisted, Non-Fiction Book</em></p> <p>A popular history of the Riverdale area of Toronto, including Playter Estates north of the Danforth.</p> <p>In its first 50 years, the city of Toronto changed from a rough settlement to a booming city with a voracious appetite for land. The incorporated city of Toronto grew tenfold from 1834 to 1884 ー partly through immigration, but also through the annexation of older communities. Among these were the former suburbs of Leslieville and Riverside, which were joined together in 1884 to become the new Toronto community of Riverdale. Later, the Playter Estates neighbourhood also became part of this community.</p> <p><em>Riverdale</em> tells the history of the neighbourhood, starting with the Simcoe, Scadding, Playter, and Leslie families, who shaped the area throughout its early settlement, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. It shows the waves of immigration from Britain, America, Italy, Greece, and China, that made Riverdale one of Toronto’s most diverse areas. And it tells the stories written into the map of the neighbourhood, revealing the history on display in its streets and historic buildings.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>e La Doxa, del 2021.<br /> Giuseppe Piluso inizia dunque a trattare in versi temi quali l’amore, dominante nell’intera sua opera con tutte le sfumature possibili, la violenza sulle donne, la disabilit? vissuta o mai accettata, l’amicizia vitale, deludente o sognata, la malattia conosciuta e affrontata, la morte, l’omosessualit?, la guerra, la forza di ricominciare, la bellezza della vita, la fiducia che nasce dall’essere positivi nonostante.<br /> Dentro tutte le argomentazioni trattate c’? lui: l’uomo, che da sentimentale diviene gradatamente consapevole e attento alle difficolt? che la vita gli mette davanti, l’uomo che trova il coraggio di affrontare, dopo le cadute, il dolore e le disillusioni. E se dunque quell’uomo, voce dell’umanit? intera, agisce e reagisce, in un divenire costante attraverso la trilogia di Piluso, ? forse perch? anche l’uomo-poeta lo ha seguito nello stesso, identico, fluire:<br /> Oggi ho rimosso la chiave dal quadro,<br /> oggi ho cambiato direzione,<br /> facendo ad U inversione.<br /> Ho la prima messo<br /> e andando via via<br /> l’andamento non era pi? lo stesso.<br /> La seconda ho innestato,<br /> con la terza andare veloce<br /> ho iniziato.<br /> La fine?<br /> Ancora lontana!<br /> Un cambio ad U, dal titolo di una delle poesie di questa terza raccolta, come chiave di lettura sul mondo che, da esperito diviene controllabile e quindi non pi? temibile.<br /> Giuseppe Piluso ci rivela inoltre che anche la diversit? delle lingue usate riflette l’idea che abbiamo sul mondo e lo dimostra traducendo alcuni dei suoi versi in inglese e in vernacolo di Rende: le parole dunque rimandano al lettore la forza di chi le sa scegliere.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Ambivalence.</p> <p>We have danced with war for centuries, but now, armed with nuclear weapons, we stand at the precipice. This isn't just another chapter in our violent history, in our relentless urge to conquer: to dominate. Will we step back, or at least draw breath? What purpose do these apocalyptic tools serve if we hesitate to wield them? It's a paradox that gnaws at our collective conscience.</p> <p>As the architects of our own demise, we sculpt our fate with hubris and fear. And the planet-our fragile home-bears the scars of our ambition. But do we care? It seems not.</p> <p>Yet, amidst the chaos, a lone figure emerges-a guardian of balance. Sent by those who possess the ways and the means to halt our wantonness. Their motives remain shrouded, but their resolve is unwavering.</p> <p>While the clock ticks, the guardian grapples with our existence. Can the Earth endure our presence, or would it thrive without us? The choice rests with us-the architects-turned-reformers. We must rewrite our narrative; redefine our purpose.</p> <p>It's now or never.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>The idea for this collection, <em>Sisters Across Oceans</em>, was inspired by the much needed conversation between influential Black women across the diaspora. Under the direction of poet-activist Karla Brundage, founder of West Oakland to West Africa (WO2WA) and editor of a previous production of a similar exchange, and a notable book of poetry, <em>Our Spirits Carry Our Voices</em>, she expanded her original vision of connectivity across the African Diaspora to Hawaii. In collaboration with the Links Inc., Hawaii Chapter and Ehalakasa, West Oakland to West Africa, hosted an eight-week poetry exchange between women in Hawaii, California, and Ghana. Using the <em>renshi</em> form, where each poem was started by the line of the poem previously received by the poet partners, the poets respond to each other's thoughts. This is why the book is ordered in pairs, such that each chapter reflects a paired exchange based on specific themes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Violence and love are evoked in equal measure, making up the foreground of collective tragedies such as American school shootings and the COVID-19 Pandemic. Nostalgia is infused into O'Donnell's imagery, bringing Philadelphia to life as both haunted and beautiful: "For decades I collect/ goodbye letters and try to hide them/ from myself." <em>States of Arousal</em> is a collection that takes on large-scale issues with intimate and vulnerable imagery. The reader is confronted by the brutality of the modern world while simultaneously comforted by the delicate displays of the human spirit.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
