University of Illinois Press Citizen Spielberg
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Friedman's passion for Spielberg films is contagious. Reading Citizen Spielberg makes you want to revisit old favorites like Jurassic Park (1993) and less familiar gems like Empire of the Sun (1987), both to appreciate Spielberg's artistry and assess Friedman's arguments. " --Australasian Journal of American Studies"Essential . . . Perhaps Friedman's greatest achievement is deciphering--in remarkably entertaining fashion--why every Spielberg film is vital to understanding his entire career." --The Film Stage"Citizen Spielberg is an indispensable study of outstanding scholarship and criticism about Steven Spielberg's life, work, and place in American film and cultural history. Friedman writes with commitment and conviction, opening new channels of understanding into Spielberg, his films, and his times."--Sam B. Girgus, author of Clint Eastwood's America"Friedman claims to have penned the first comprehensive analysis of [Spielberg's] films, and he may well be right."--Library Journal"Friedman's treatment is an exhaustive and necessary catalog."--American Interest"There is [a lack of] an exhaustive overview of the components of Spielberg's corpus, the issues which animate his most significant works, the roots of his immense popularity amongst audiences, and the influence his vast spectrum of imaginative products exerts on the public consciousness. Friedman fills that void with a systematic analysis of the various genres in which the director has worked and concludes that Spielberg's films present a sustained artistic vision combined with a technical flair matched by few other filmmakers, and makes a compelling case for Spielberg to be considered as a major film artist."--Screening the Past"Citizen Spielberg does a service to a monstrously influential director and an oeuvre whose investigations of emotion -- especially constrained masculine emotions -- have received insufficient book-length study."--Bloomsbury Review"Friedman seeks a more nuanced approach to Spielberg's cinematic output as director; taking readers through an analysis of his films and responding to the critical assessments of others, Friedman asserts that 'Spielberg is a far more complex, sophisticated, and wry filmmaker than most mainstream critics and academic scholars appreciate.’”--Shofar "Encourage your brightest students to investigate Citizen Speilberg. It's the sort of book that by eschewing jargon but employing serious critical analysis could have a profound effect."--Splice"There is [a lack of] an exhaustive overview of the components of Spielberg's corpus, the issues which animate his most significant works, the roots of his immense popularity amongst audiences, and the influence his vast spectrum of imaginative products exerts on the public consciousness.

University of Illinois Press Global Tarantella
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Against a complicated history of Italian folk music and its recovery, Inserra provides an insightful account of tarantella in its home region of Campania and in its migration throughout and outside Italy, intertwining her fieldwork with existing scholarship." --Italian American Review "Gratifying to read. Makes a significant contribution--finally, in the English language, where few studies have been previously available--to the study of this rich, diverse, and globally relevant music phenomenon."--Luisa Del Giudice, coauthor of Performing Ecstasies: Music, Dance, and Ritual in the Mediterranean "Enhances our understanding of southern Italian music and dance while also refining our general models of folklore revival. The book shows how musicians graft their performances onto ever-shifting contexts of reception among mobile Italian and international audiences. It richly demonstrates that local perspectives on musical tradition are every bit as tricky as global ones."--Dorothy Noyes, author of Humble Theory: Folklore's Grasp on Social LifeTable of ContentsCoverTitleContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1.

University of Illinois Press Film and the Anarchist Imagination
Book SynopsisHailed since its initial release, Film and the Anarchist Imagination offers the authoritative account of films featuring anarchist characters and motifs. Richard Porton delves into the many ways filmmakers have portrayed anarchism's long traditions of labor agitation and revolutionary struggle. While acknowledging cinema's predilection for ludicrous anarchist stereotypes, he focuses on films that, wittingly or otherwise, reflect or even promote workplace resistance, anarchist pedagogy, self-emancipation, and anti-statist insurrection. Porton ranges from the silent era to the classics Zéro de Conduite and Love and Anarchy to contemporary films like The Nothing Factory while engaging the works of Jean Vigo, Jean-Luc Godard, Lina Wertmüller, Yvonne Rainer, Ken Loach, and others. For this updated second edition, Porton reflects on several new topics, including the negative portrayals of anarchism over the past twenty years and the contemporary embrace of post-anarchism.Trade Review"So many mainstream movies are ultimately propaganda: propaganda for consumerism, violence, outdated gender relations, and the capitalist system. This book reminds us that films can also be rebellious, aiming not to reinforce but undermine the status quo. In this updated version of his original classic, Richard Porton traces the evolution of anarchist ideas and their influence on cinematic form and content, exploring a wide range of expressive work designed to provoke, inspire, and confound. A welcome and compelling celebration of a subversive and still-evolving genre."--Astra Taylor, author of The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age"Although I'm a feminist, but not a self-identified anarchist-feminist, Richard Porton's Film And The Anarchist Imagination has inspired me to study the texts and films he brilliantly analyzes, even revisit my own from his unique perspective."--Lizzie BordenPraise for the previous edition: "Porton's astute and engaging study provides a needed corrective to the 'laughably unsubtle' movies that recycle stereotypes and half-truths."--Catherine Saint Louis, New York Times Book ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1 Anarchism and Cinema: Representation and Self-Representation 2 Cinema, Anarchism, and Revolution: Heroes, Martyrs, and Utopian Moments 3 Anarcho-Syndicalism versus the “Revolt against Work” 4 Film and Anarchist Pedagogy 5 The Elusive Anarchist Aesthetic Afterword (2019) Notes Index

St Louis Art Museum,U.S. Monets Water Lilies
Book SynopsisClaude Monet was undoubtedly the most important of all the Impressionist painters and his water lily paintings represent the culminating moment in his career. Monet's famous garden at Giverny provided the inspiration for the paintings. The exhibition will bring to life the importance and beauty of this garden through a range of archival photographs, as well as an early, rarely seen film from 1915, showing Monet painting outdoors in his garden.Monet's Water Lilies will reunite the three panels of an exceptionally impressive water lily triptych, created by Monet between 1915 and 1926. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art each own one panel of the triptych and the exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to bring the works together. This will be the first time that this reunion has occurred for more than 30 years. With the single exception of a triptych in the Museum of Modern Art, this is the only triptych by Mon

University of Texas Press A Century of Brazilian Documentary Film
Book SynopsisSince the late nineteenth century, Brazilians have turned to documentaries to explain their country to themselves and to the world. In a magisterial history covering one hundred years of cinema, Darlene J. Sadlier identifies Brazilians' unique contributions to a diverse genre while exploring how that genre has, in turn, contributed to the making and remaking of Brazil. A Century of Brazilian Documentary Film is a comprehensive tour of feature and short films that have charted the social and political story of modern Brazil. The Amazon appears repeatedly and vividly. Sometimesas in a prize-winning 1922 featurethe rainforest is a galvanizing site of national pride; at other times, the Amazon has been a focus for land-reform and Indigenous-rights activists. Other key documentary themes include Brazil's swings from democracy to dictatorship, tensions between cosmopolitanism and rurality, and shifting attitudes toward race and gender. Sadlier also provides critical perspectives on aesthetTrade ReviewMonumental...The future of documentary production in Brazil is uncertain as is the nature of the current political process.

University Press of Mississippi Professional Wrestling
Book SynopsisProfessional wrestling is one of the most popular performance practices in the United States and around the world, drawing millions of spectators to live events and televised broadcasts. The displays of violence, simulated and actual, may be the obvious appeal, but that is just the beginning. Fans debate performance choices with as much energy as they argue about their favorite wrestlers. The ongoing scenarios and presentations of manly and not-so-manly characters--from the flamboyantly feminine to the hypermasculine--simultaneously celebrate and critique, parody and affirm the American dream and the masculine ideal.Sharon Mazer looks at the world of professional wrestling from a fan's-eye-view high in the stands and from ringside in the wrestlers' gym. She investigates how performances are constructed and sold to spectators, both on a local level and in the 'big leagues' of the WWF/E.

Liverpool University Press Phenomenal Difference: A Philosophy of Black
Book SynopsisPhenomenal Difference grants new attention to contemporary black British art, exploring its critical and social significance through attention to embodied experience, affectivity, the senses and perception.Featuring attention to works by the following artists:Said Adrus, Zarina Bhimji, Sonia Boyce, Vanley Burke, Chila Burman, Mona Hatoum, Bhajan Hunjan, Permindar Kaur, Sonia Khurana, Juginder Lamba, Manjeet Lamba, Hew Locke, Yeu-Lai Mo, Henna Nadeem, Kori Newkirk, Johannes Phokela, Keith Piper, Shanti Thomas, Aubrey Williams, Mario Ybarra Jr. Much before scholars in the arts and humanities took their recent ‘ontological turn’ toward the new materialism, black British art had begun to expose cultural criticism’s overreliance on the concepts of textuality, representation, identity and difference. Illuminating that original field of aesthetics and creativity, this book shows how black British artworks themselves can become the basis for an engaged and widely-reaching philosophy.Numerous extended descriptive studies of artworks spell out the affective and critical relations that pertain between individual works, their viewers and the world at hand: intimate, physically-involving and visceral relations that are brought into being through a wide range of phenomena including performance, photography, installation, photomontage and digital practice.Whether they subsist through movement, or in time, through gesture, or illusion, black British art is always an arresting nexus of making, feeling and thought. It celebrates particular philosophical interest in:- the use of art as a place for remembering the personal or collective past;- the fundamental ‘equivalence’ of texture and colour, and their instances of ‘rupture’;- figural presence, perceptual reversibility and the agency of objects;- the grounded materialities of mediation;- and the interconnections between art, politics and emancipation.Drawing first hand on the founding, historical texts of early and mid-twentieth century phenomenology (Heidegger; Merleau-Ponty), and current advances in art history, curating and visual anthropology, the author transposes black British art into a freshly expanded and diversified intellectual field. What emerges is a vivid understanding of phenomenal difference: the profoundly material processes of interworking philosophical knowledge and political strategy at the site of black British art.Trade ReviewReviews 'A wonderfully erudite, powerfully argued, and fascinatingly researched book.'

Liverpool University Press L’amateur à l’époque des Lumières
Book SynopsisObéissant à la logique d’une spécialisation toujours plus grande, les sociétés contemporaines ne tiennent pas l’amateur en grande estime. Or, s’il est vrai que le 18e siècle consacre le triomphe de cette figure, c’est aussi l’époque où s’amorce son irréversible déclin. Couvrant un large spectre de disciplines et d’aires culturelles au sein de l’Europe, les contributions de spécialistes réunies dans ce volume permettent de mieux cerner ce moment-pivot de l’histoire culturelle.Sans se limiter aux formes institutionnalisées de l’amateurship étudiées par les historiens de l’art ou des sciences, l’ouvrage examine ainsi les relations que le non-professionnel entretient avec les gens de métier (dans la presse, le milieu musical ou littéraire) ; la spécificité des œuvres qu’il produit et sa contribution au progrès des arts et des sciences ; l’émergence, à l’âge de l’esthétique naissante, d’un amateur compris comme instance de jugement ; la manière dont il est investi par les discours et annexé à leurs logiques propres (en tant que fiction littéraire, idéal ou ethos). Observer le phénomène dans ses manifestations plurielles, confronter l’ordre des réalités et celui des représentations, articuler les diverses approches sur la question: l’enjeu, on l’aura compris, est moins de définir une quelconque identité de l’amateur, que d’interroger sa raison d’être.---Amateurs are not particularly appreciated in our ever specialising contemporary societies. Yet the figure of the amateur was highly celebrated in the eighteenth century, even though its irremediable decline began at the same time. The articles collected in this book allow a better understanding of this turning point in cultural history as they cover a wide spectrum of academic disciplines and European cultural areas.This book does not only deal with the institutionalised forms of amateurship that have been studied by art historians and historians of science. This work considers the relationships that non-professionals had with professionals (working in periodicals, in the musical world, or in the book trade) ; the specificity of the works that amateurs produced and their contribution to the progress of arts and sciences ; the rise of the amateur as a judging instance in a period that saw the development of aesthetics ; and the way this figure was handled in different discourses and subjected to their own logics (whether as a literary fiction, an ideal or an ethos). Since this collective work focuses on the phenomenon of amateurship in its diverse manifestations, confronts the real to its representations, and articulates different perspectives on the subject, it obviously does not aim at defining any identity for the amateur, but rather intends to question its raison d'être.Table of ContentsListe des illustrationsRemerciementsJustine de Reyniès, Introduction: l’amateur à l’époque des Lumières – tour d’horizon d’une notion problématiqueI.

Liverpool University Press Politics and the arts in Lisbon and Rome: The
Book SynopsisDealing with a complex king, this edited collection elucidates a monarch’s vision of Rome that deeply affected his political choices and cultural policy during the first half of the eighteenth-century. John V of Portugal became king in 1707 in a pivotal moment for the European balance of power. The Kingdom of Portugal was still demanding the same privileges as its powerful neighbours and the relation with Rome was considered a vehicle to obtain them. Arts and music had a special and unprecedented place in the king’s plans and this book approaches that dynamic from several interdisciplinary perspectives.The unifying thread across this book’s chapters remains the omnipresence of Rome as a paradigm on several levels: political, religious, intellectual, artistic, and musical. Rather than providing an exhaustive analysis of the period as a whole, this study offers a fresh approach for English readers to this classic, but little known, topic in Portuguese national historiography.Trade Review‘This study […] constitutes a far richer and more subtle description of music in Lisbon at the time of King João V than what was previously available, and provides a broader and richer political and sociocultural context.’Translated from Spanish:‘Este estudio […] constituye una descripción mucho más completa y sutil de la música de Lisboa en la época del rey João V que la disponible hasta ahora y proporciona un contexto político y sociocultural más amplio y rico.’ David Cranmer, Cuadernos de música iberoamericana‘[Politics and the Arts in Lisbon and Rome] constitutes a much more complete and subtle description of the music of Lisbon in the time of King João V than is available up to now and provides a broader and richer political and sociocultural context.’ David Cranmer, Cuadernos de Musica Iberoamericana Translated from Spanish, ‘[Politics and the Arts in Lisbon and Rome] Constituye una descripción mucho más completa y sutil de la música de Lisboa en la época del rey João V que la disponible hasta ahora y proporciona un contexto político y sociocultural más amplio y rico.’'Meticulously researched and well presented, this new book of studies successfully blends diplomatic, artistic, and cultural history, masterfully evoking a period which has often been studied, yet rarely with the depth that these new scholars bring to the table. The sheer variety of sources, both archival and printed, bring to light hitherto unconsidered facets of this fascinating period and monarch.' James W.

Liverpool University Press All-women art spaces in Europe in the long 1970s
Book SynopsisThe texts gathered in this volume embrace women artists-only exhibitions, festivals, collective art projects, groups and associations, organised in the long 1970s in Europe (1968-1984). These all-women art initiatives are closely related to developments within the political and politicized women’s movement in Europe and America but what emerges is the varied and plural manner of their engagements with feminism(s) alongside their creation of ‘heterotopias’ in relation to specific sites/ politics/ collaborative art practices. This book presents examples from Italy, Spain, UK, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Germany (East and West), The Netherlands, France and Sweden. While each chapter is largely devoted to one country, the authors point to how the local and specific political situation in which these initiatives emerged is linked to global tendencies as well as inter-European exchanges. Each chapter of this book thus assesses the impact of travelling views of feminism, by considering connections made between women artists (often when travelling abroad) or their knowledge of art practices from abroad. Distinct and highly varied attitudes towards political activism (from strong engagement to a clearly pronounced distance and even hostility) are shown in each essay and, what is more, they are shown as based on radically different premises about feminism, politics and art.

Liverpool University Press Diderot, Rousseau and the politics of the Arts in
Book SynopsisIn mid-eighteenth-century Paris, the encyclopedists launched a campaign to radically redefine the public dimension of all ‘imaginative’ arts, starting with music – with the querelle des bouffons – then theatre, the novel and finally the visual arts. Diderot, Rousseau and the Politics of the Arts in the Enlightenment exposes the correlation between the prejudices and hierarchies of the political and social system of the time and what d’Alembert calls ‘literary superstitions’. The book reconstructs the role of Diderot and Rousseau, frères ennemis, as they engaged in a dispute that was above all else political, despite revolving entirely around forms of artistic expression. Throwing a light on this important cultural event is all the more necessary because the essentially political dimension of Diderot’s Salons has since the nineteenth-century been completely obscured from view. Indeed, at first misunderstood and then totally neglected, for over two centuries their true significance has been systematically ignored by the aesthetic-idealist school of criticism.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroductionPart I: The Beginnings: Music, Theatre, the NovelChapter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The State and the Arts: An Analysis of Key
Book SynopsisAt a time when state assistance to the arts sector has come under considerable scrutiny both in Europe and the United States, this book comprehensively examines the evolution of, and rationale for, state involvement with the so-called 'high' arts on both continents. This book offers an overview of the key economic issues arising in relation to the state and the arts in these regions, with a detailed analysis of the European and American models of state assistance to the high arts sector.John O'Hagan examines in detail the various channels - regulation, taxation and direct expenditure - through which the state interacts with the arts and compares and contrasts the experiences of America and Europe. Regulatory measures considered include the guarantee of artistic freedom, copyright, resale royalties for artists, and trade restrictions. He also considers taxation measures to support the arts, including deductions for charitable contributions to the arts, property tax exemption, and relief on artists' income. The discussion on direct expenditure covers state ownership of institutions, revenue funding and matching grants as well as new avenues of expenditure such as community arts/arts centres, and new revenue sources for this expenditure, such as lottery funding. Finally the book covers the non-profit making arts sector, and examines why it, and not the commercial sector, receives private and state funding.The State and the Arts will be indispensable for students and academics of public and social policy, cultural economics and public management. It will also be of considerable interest to policymakers and key players in the arts sector.Trade Review'O'Hagan has taken on a difficult task indeed in trying to sort through the evidence on the state and the arts. He has opened the door to numerous potential research papers, and made clear the need for much more work to be done in the area of data classification and collection. He has also done the valuable task of pulling together previous research from a variety of sources, many of which will not be familiar to economists. I will be consulting this book often.'Table of ContentsContents: Preface 1. Introduction Part I: Policy Rationale: Why the State gets Involved 2. Non-Private Benefits 3.

Liverpool University Press Antonio Pedro: Just a Story
Book SynopsisThe Portuguese Antonio Pedro (1909-1966) was a cosmopolitan and multifaceted artist; one of the pioneers of surrealism in Portugal, both as a visual artist and as a writer. He was involved in the London surrealist group in 1944-5. Today Pedro is perhaps best remembered for his steadfast opposition to Salazar's long dictatorship, initially as a BBC radio broadcaster in wartime London and, on his return to Portugal, as the director of TEP (Teatro Experimental do Porto) throughout the 1950s. Just a Story (1942) comes at the halfway point in his forward-looking transnational trajectory. Pedro lived in Brazil in 1940-1 and, while largely ignored up to now, his experience of modernity in the tropics included encounters with major Brazilian cultural players such as Mario de Andrade, Jorge de Lima, Jorge Amado, and Antonio Candido. Just a Story stands, up to a point, as a miniature Portuguese equivalent of the groundbreaking Brazilian rhapsody Macunaima: an iconoclastic novella- or a novel, if we adopt the label Pedro bestowed on his creation simply ‘because he felt like it'. Illustrated by the author, it combines surrealist tendencies with the irreverent streak that so frequently distinguished Brazilian modernism. Written predominantly from a first-person perspective, this surreal tale follows the amazing adventures of the protagonist, including his birth in the rural North of Portugal, his picaresque migration to the city, his uncanny love tryst with alluring Lulu, and his final homecoming and mind-blowing demise. To read it is to step into a child-like world of dreams and playful delight in the nonsensical. Yet, at the same time, this thought-provoking work also invites the reader on a meaningful, profound journey through human experience and reality.Table of ContentsForeword, by Helder Macedo Acknowledgements and note about the translation Introductory articles Transatlantic Travel and Modernist Transformations: the singular case of Apenas uma narrativa, by Cláudia Pazos Alonso Appendices 1–4 António Pedro in Britain and the London surrealists (1944–1945) by Bruno Rodrigues Appendices 5–8 Apenas uma Narrativa Just a Story, translation by Mariana Gray de Castro Appendices 9–11
