Edition Olms Western Portraits of Great Character Actors: The
Book SynopsisThe American West, as we know it, is defined by the movies, and the Western is the oldest film genre. When the movies were born, it was not that long after Promontory Point and the Civil War, so those memories were still there in the minds of the very first movie audiences as they watched The Great Train Robbery. And the myth-making is as important as the brutal truths of history. As the reporter tells Jimmy Stewart in Fords The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. Rendered in rare, evocative tones reminiscent of Edward Sheriff Curtiss immortal photographs, Western Portraits of Great Character Actors provides readers with a collection of stylised portraits that capture the allure and mystique of the Old West, complete with authentic costuming, weaponry and settings. From the epic feature film to the TV series and serial, this coffee table book will put the story of character actors and the significance of their memorable roles into an entertaining perspective. The subjects include such popular, recognizable actors as Karl Malden, David Carradine, Denver Pyle, R G Armstrong, L Q Jones, Horst Buchholz, Henry Silva, Ruta Lee, Morgan Woodward, Bo Hopkins, Clu Gulager and 72 others.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Kinematografie der Erinnerung: Band 1: Filme als
Book SynopsisAnhand paradigmatischer sowjetischer, ost- und westdeutscher Filme über den Zweiten Weltkrieg, die die kollektive Gewalterfahrung und vor allem die zentralen historischen Ereignisse der jeweiligen Staaten nach 1945 verarbeiten und so entsprechend Erinnerungs- und somit Identitätspolitik medienspezifisch mitformen, erfasst der Band filmische Strategien, mit welchen Geschichte und Erinnerung gestaltet werden. Das kollektive Gedächtnis, so die zentrale These, ist genuin filmisch. Die Filme erfüllen für das kollektive Gedächtnis dabei drei wichtige Funktionen, die auch auf ästhetische Phänomene zurückzuführen sind: Sinnkonstitution, Bewältigung und Emotionalisierung. In Band 1 des zweibändigen Werkes wird die Theorie des kollektiven Gedächtnisses entworfen.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Forschungsstand.- Theorie des kollektiven Gedächtnisses.- Narrationstypen.- Filmografie/Bibliografie

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Preparing for the Global Blackout: A Disaster
Book SynopsisDead phones, chaos in hospitals, looming nuclear meltdowns: For years, experts all over the world have been warning of a widespread power blackout-and the devastating consequences for society as a whole. However, just as before the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians and the public are hardly aware of the far-reaching risks: A blackout would catch us almost completely unprepared.As for other (supposedly improbable) disruptive events, disaster movies and sci-fi series have long shown what would happen if modern society were to lose its lifeblood. Denis Newiak looks into those filmic fictions for answers to pressing questions: How can we prepare ourselves for the dramatic consequences of such a crisis? And can the collapse of modernity still be stopped?
