    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis collection puts the topic of Jewish Studies and Holocaust Studies in a new American Studies perspective. This perspective compares the similarities and differences in responses and their transatlantic interaction. As the Holocaust grew into an important factor in American culture, it also became a subject of American Studies, both as a window on American trends and as a topic to which outsiders responded. When Americans responded to information on the early signs of the Holocaust, they were dependent on European official and informal sources. Some were confirmed, others were contradicted; some were ignored, others provoked a response. This book follows the chronology of this transatlantic exchange, including the alleged abandonment of the Jews in Europe and the post-war attention to the Holocaust victims.Table of ContentsHolocaust historiography – Philanthropy – European reception – Diplomacy – Austrian drama – Italian debates on Holocaust films – American response to reports about the Nazi extermination campaign – Echoes of the Shoah – Resettlement of Budapest’s Jews – American Jewish Organizations in France.

    Book SynopsisThe right information, at the right time, for the right user has become the most valuable currency of our times. Yet, traditional view on the use of information is being challenged: never before both businesses and users had to deal with the necessity of processing enormous amounts of data, often either privacy-sensitive or covered by intellectual property rights. The law tries to respond – both domestically and internationally – with new rules and novel applications of traditional rules. This book investigates these rules, their rationales, and consequences.Table of ContentsProtection of non-personal data – Data ownership – Criminal jurisdiction and transnational crime – Identity theft in the EU and in the US – Wearable technologies – Biometric data – Jurisdiction in data protection law – General Data Protection Regulation in the context of electronic commerce

    Book SynopsisThis collection assembles a number of chapters engaging different strands of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy in order to explore issues relevant to contemporary media studies. Following the release of Heidegger’s controversial Black Notebooks and the subsequent calls to abandon the philosopher, this book seeks to demonstrate why Heidegger, rather than be pushed aside and shunned by media practitioners, ought to be embraced by and further incorporated into the discipline, as he offers unique and often innovative pathways to address, and ultimately understand, our daily engagements with media-related phenomena.Table of ContentsHeideggerian concepts: Sorge, Ereignis, das Gestell, Dasein, Equipmentality – Topology and Digital Narratives – Architecture and Spatial Constructions – Photography and Dwelling – Social Media – Mediality – Technology and Technical Media

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe author examines the vigorous reception of the German theater in Greece, a phenomenon that took place along with the process of establishing in Athens, in 1901 the Royal Theater. The multiple aesthetic, social and political forms of this phenomenon provided a "locus of contact" with the German culture and accomplished a function, regarded as the instrument for the development of the bourgeois theater in Greece. This happened through the work of theater practitioners and intellectuals, as well as through the transfer of institutions, theatrical plays, and scripts of direction instructions, decorations, and props. The performances staged were the iceberg in the process of this reception, as they provided a strategy toward the revitalization of the Greek theater, realized in a productive way.

    Book SynopsisThe aim of the monograph is to present the application and practical development of the concept of remediation. Two decades after its original proposal by J.D Bolter and R. Grusin, remediation remains one of the major tools of understanding new media. The authors of this book examine the subject from the perspective of Central and Eastern Europe. Examples are drawn from artistic and literary practices in Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Slovenia. Theoretical frameworks solidify and extend the concept of remediation to new phenomena and areas of critical discourse, from biomedia and genetic transcoding to the remediation of textual media in Catholic Liturgy. As a result, the notion of medium, the nature of mediation and the essence of storytelling are redefined.Table of ContentsRemediation in Central Europe – Hypertext, e-poetry, installation and conceptual art – DNA as a medium – Genetic transcoding in bio art – Adaptations into new media – Media semiotics – Lithurgic books as textual media – Serial novel and interactive storytelling – Reality TV, video art

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisAround 1900, a series of reform movements emerge that break through the mainstream of modern, technocratic and industrial developments, and in many areas of life seek alternative possibilities and new ways. Enthusiastic, open-minded and inspired by an attitude to life that ventures ideologically, artistically and socially into hitherto unknown zones, one wants to oppose the harsh realities to a different, creative, profound and experiential reality. These diverse aspects and their interdisciplinary interweaving often remained hidden in historical retrospectives. In 2018, an exhibition in an art gallery in Budapest titled Hidden Stories - The Life Reform Movements and Art offered unique and surprising insights into the interconnectedness of people and works. In the subsequent conference of the same name, experts from science, art and culture devoted themselves to the hitherto little-known relationships between artists and individual reform movements. The resulting volume reveals and presents the international effectiveness of artists from Hungary as well as from other countries, who have shaped a changed attitude to life in the expressions of music, dance and performing arts. In artist colonies, garden centers and educational reform projects, they created specially places that allowed a changed lifestyle. There are always different ideological, religious and spiritual views in the background that are analyzed here.Table of ContentsLife reform – Art – Progressive education – Modern dance – Theosophy – Anthroposophy – Buddhism – Artist colonies – Esotheric – Central Europa

    Book SynopsisCommunication, which is a multidisciplinary discipline, covers many branches such as politics, economy, psychology, media, health and education, as well as dealing with multi-faceted human relations. Communication, which is shaped on social and individual legal and ethical foundations, takes its ethical foundations from the society. In the communication process, in which information, feelings and thoughts are transferred between individual and social groups by means of communication tools such as words, images, body movements, writing, it is very important that both the content and the forms of access comply with ethical principles. Unethical practices experienced in this process damage social trust and create a negative environment for the parties with whom they communicate. For this reason, the issue of ethics in the field of communication is discussed in this book. Ethical themes, written by academics from all fields of communication, are subjects that should be read and known in terms of creating social trust.

In Europe meets USA she captures her own experiences of living on both sides of the Atlantic, twinkling a fresh light onto the more obvious confusions. She also reveals the less conscious prejudices that exist between the denizens of the small continent of Europe and those of the giant United States. If the usual view of our divergences is full of clichés in which there are grains of truth, the same is true in reverse. From shopping to commuting, from going to school to romance, from working to annual leave, from football to heros—with 128 pages, this linen-bound booklet invites each side to appreciate the anomalies, change perspective and look at the world through the other’s eyes.Trade Review“…Liu’s outlook blends the details of daily experience with the most important happenings in human history.” * Designboom *“The simple, accessible, and stark visual format is necessarily reductive, designed as a thought-provoking tool to spark conversations and elicit a range of emotional responses.” * Du Hoc Hoan Cau *

    Book SynopsisThis volume reflects on the significance of nostalgia in the construction of traumatic pasts, both on an individual and a collective level. By employing an interdisciplinary approach, the volume enhances our understanding of how the entanglements of trauma and nostalgia influence the construction and development of identity. Scholars from a range of academic disciplines and contexts explore the integration of nostalgic memories in discussions of trauma, attending to their interactions in public spaces, patriotic symbolism and rituals, popular culture, cinema, religion, museums, and memorials. The contributors emphasize the role of media and other mass-cultural technologies in disseminating images and narratives related to traumatic and nostalgic experiences. These essays ultimately bring to light the frequently overlooked role of nostalgic longing in shaping the discursive, visual, and material aspects of collective trauma.Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisFilm Authorship in Contemporary Transmedia Culture: The Paratextual Lives of Asian Auteurs examines film authorship in the transmedia era whereby film directors have become public figures through a wide range of textual, material, and performative practices. The book draws on the notion of paratext and its related term – palimpsest – to bring forth the idea of self-reflexive authorship as a method of examining the mediated past, present, and afterlife of East Asian filmmakers. The first part of the book pays attention to materials surrounding film festivals, multi-platform distribution, and cinephile/fan creative practices, which have been created, rewritten, and shared to foster and problematize the reputations of selected filmmakers. The second part examines alternative modes of self-projections and creative productions that address the filmmakers’ sense of selves and relations with the industry and the public. Across different chapters, discourses surrrounding film authorship and East Asian cinema are revisited and expanded to highlight its multiple histories and possible futures.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Part I – East Asian Film Authorship, Transmedia Spaces, and Paratextual Economies 1.

    Book SynopsisDespite its necessary centrality within the genre, the concept of the victim has not received much direct attention within the field of horror studies. Arguably, their presence is so ubiquitous as to become invisible—the threat of horror implies the need for a victim, whose function never alters, often becoming a blank slate for audiences to project their desires and fears onto. This volume seeks to make explicit the concept of the victim within horror media and to examine their position in more detail, demonstrating that the necessity of their appearance within the genre does not equate to a simplicity of definition. The chapters within this volume cover a number of topics and approaches, examining sources from literature, film, TV, and games (both analogue and digital) to show the pervasiveness of horror’s victims, as well as the variety of their guises.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Theorizing the Victim – Marko Lukic Opening the Gate: Reconfiguring the Child Victim in Stranger Things – Lindsey Scott Black Death: Black Victims in 1980s Teen Slashers – Todd K.
