Spectatorship, Embodiment and Physicality in the Contemporary Mutilation Film

By: Laura Wilson

Spectatorship, Embodiment and Physicality in the Contemporary Mutilation Film explores 'physical spectatorship': the representation of mutilation on the screen and the physical responses this evokes. The book is organised around the study of a series of dynamic engagements that reconfigure the film-viewer relationship.

Women as Wartime Rapists

Beyond Sensation and Stereotyping

By: Laura Sjoberg

Women as Wartime Rapists reveals the stories of female perpetrators of sexual violence and their place in wartime conflict, legal policy, and the punishment of sexual violence. Very few women are wartime rapists. Very few women issue commands to commit sexual violence. Very few women play a role in making war plans that feature the intentional sexual violation of other women. This book is about those very few women. More broadly, Laura Sjoberg asks, what do the actions and perceptions of female perpetrators of sexual violence reveal about our broader conceptions of war, violence, sexual assault, and gender? This book explores specific historical case studies, such as Nazi Germany, Serbia, the contemporary case of ISIS, and others, to understand how and why women participate in rape during war and conflict. Sjoberg examines the contrast between the visibility of female victims and the invisibility of female perpetrators, as well as the distinction between rape and genocidal rape, which is used as a weapon against a particular ethnic or national group. Further, she explores women’s engagement with genocidal rape and how some orchestrated the ethnic cleansing of entire regions. A provocative approach to a sensationalized topic, Women as Wartime Rapists offers important insights into not only the topic of female perpetrators of wartime sexual violence, but to larger notions of gender and violence with crucial cultural, legal, and political implications.

Harvesting Change

Labor and Agrarian Reform in Nicaragua, 1979-1990

By: Laura J. Enriquez

One of the principal aims of the Sandinista government in Nicaragua was to end the exploitation of the rural poor. But its attempts to promote balanced economic development and redistribute agricultural resources created labor shortages that threatened the country's economic lifeline. New employment opportunities created through agrarian reform upset the delicate balance developed in pre-revolution years to meet the labor requirements of Nicaragua's two key crops, cotton and coffee. Laura Enriquez studied this problem extensively while working in Nicaragua between 1982 and 1989, and in Harvesting Change she provides a unique analysis of the dilemmas of reform in an agrarian society. Enriquez describes the traditional labor relations of Nicaragua's agroexport production and outlines their breakdown as agrarian reform advanced. She also assesses the alternatives adopted by the Sandinista government as it attempted to address the crisis. Her book is based on participant observation and on formal and informal interviews with a broad cross section of people involved in agricultural production, including officials involved in agrarian reform, planning, and labor; producers; workers; and representatives from associations of growers, workers, and peasants. By presenting agrarian reform in its broad social context, Enriquez makes and important contribution to our understanding of the problems associated with the transition to socialism in the Third World.

Singing in the Age of Anxiety

Lieder Performances in New York and London between the World Wars

By: Laura Tunbridge

In New York and London during World War I, the performance of lieder—German art songs—was roundly prohibited, representing as they did the music and language of the enemy. But as German musicians returned to the transatlantic circuit in the 1920s, so too did the songs of Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf, and Richard Strauss. Lieder were encountered in a variety of venues and media—at luxury hotels and on ocean liners, in vaudeville productions and at Carnegie Hall, and on gramophone recordings, radio broadcasts, and films. Laura Tunbridge explores the renewed vitality of this refugee musical form between the world wars, offering a fresh perspective on a period that was pervaded by anxieties of displacement. Through richly varied case studies, Singing in the Age of Anxiety traces how lieder were circulated, presented, and consumed in metropolitan contexts, shedding new light on how music facilitated unlikely crossings of nationalist and internationalist ideologies during the interwar period.

Pindar’s Pythian Twelve: A Linguistic Commentary and a Comparative Study

By: Laura Massetti

Pindar’s Pythian Twelve is the only choral lyric epinicion in our possession composed for the winner of a non-athletic competition. Often regarded as an ode of straightforward interpretation, close analysis of the text reveals that it presents several challenges to modern readers. This book offers an updated translation of the text and an investigation of the main interpretative issues of the epinicion with the aid of historical linguistics. By identifying devices which Pindar might have inherited from earlier periods of poetic language, the study provides insights into the thematic aspects of the ode as well as on Pindar’s compositional technique.

Brecht and Political Theatre

The Mother on Stage

Brecht and Political Theatre

The Mother on Stage

By: Laura Bradley

This production history of The Mother provides substantial new insights into Bertolt Brecht's theatre and drama, his impact on political theatre, and the relationship between text, performance, and politico-cultural context. As the only play which Brecht staged in the Weimar Republic, during his exile, and in the GDR, The Mother offers a unique opportunity to compare his theatrical practice in contrasting settings and at different points in his career. Through detailed analysis of original archival evidence, Bradley shows how Brecht became far more sensitive to his spectators' political views and cultural expectations, even making major tactical concessions in his 1951 production at the Berliner Ensemble. These compromises indicate that his 'mature' staging should not be regarded as definitive, for it was tailored to a unique and delicate situation. The Mother has appealed strongly to politically committed theatre practitioners both in and beyond Germany. By exploiting the text's generic hybridity and the interplay between Brecht's 'epic' and 'dramatic' elements, directors have interpreted it in radically different ways. So although Brecht's 1951 production stagnated into an affirmative GDR heritage piece, post-Brechtian directors have used The Mother to promote their own political and theatrical concerns, from anti-authoritarian theatre to reflections on the legacies of state Socialism. Their ideological and theatrical subversion have helped Brecht's text to outlive the political system that it came to uphold.

The Limits of Change

Was ist der Wert der beständigen Dinge?

Unsere Gegenwart scheint mehr und mehr Umbrüchen zu unterliegen. Eine Innovation folgt der nächsten, Traditionen gelten schnell als überholt, moderne Trends werden altmodisch. Dieser permanente Wandel verläuft in unserer Wahrnehmung immer rasanter. Auch bei einem Blick in die Vergangenheit scheinen Umbrüche, neue Ideen und Erfindungen zu überwiegen und in ständigen Wertverschiebungen zu resultieren. Aber was ist mit den beständigen Dingen? Nicht nur Veränderungen schaffen Werte, sondern auch Beständigkeit. Dabei stellt sich nicht nur die Frage, welche Werte durch Kontinuität entstehen, sondern auch welche Werte sie bedingen. Traditionen sind identitätsstiftend. Sie gehören zum kulturellen Gedächtnis, bilden oftmals eine Basis für Innovationen und haben dadurch eine eigene Bedeutung im Hinblick auf Veränderungen. Kontinuitäten zu erkennen, ist in einer Welt im stetigen Wandel ein schwieriges Unterfangen und auch im Rückblick nicht unproblematisch, vor allem wenn die Akteure selbst nicht mehr zu sprechen sind. Aber ein Blick auf die materielle Kultur erlaubt Aufschlüsse über Beständigkeit. Von Menschen gefertigte Objekte sind Traditionsträger, sie beherbergen die Ideen und Wertvorstellungen ihrer Gestalter und bleiben über Zeit und Raum hinweg erhalten. The Limits of Change umfasst Beiträge aus Archäologie, Philosophie und Ethnologie, die sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit der Thematik der Kontinuität auseinandersetzen und den Sachverhalt kritisch beleuchten. So wird zum einen der Blick in die Vergangenheit gerichtet und auf Basis archäologischer Überlieferungen das Thema untersucht. Zum anderen liefert die Diskussion zeitgenössischer und globaler Sachverhalte wichtige Hinweise im Hinblick auf Kontinuität und Tradition.

Take control of your future today! * * * East Lansing, Michigan-based BIGGBY(R) COFFEE started with a single store on March 15, 1995. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. That decision has fueled the dreams of hundreds of people to reinvent themselves as coffee shop owners, powered by a proven system, empowering philosophy, and a supportive community of fellow franchisees. Today, BIGGBY COFFEE is 100 percent locally owned and operated with cafes operating across the United States. BIGGBY exists to support people in building lives they love. That can be as simple as giving people a warm and inviting place to gather with friends, loved ones, clients, or coworkers. The support might be providing them with something to look forward to--maybe a reward after a great workout, some comfort in a tough time, or a bit of friendly and fun conversation with their favorite barista. But supporting people in building lives they love also can look like The Moonshot Guidebook. What began as a visioning tool for BIGGBY staff is now being offered to the world. The coauthors--Michael J. McFall, Co-owner and Co-CEO; Laura Eich, Director of the Boost Sphere; and Jeremy DeRuiter, Moonshot Guide--all started at BIGGBY as part-time baristas. Today, they have the pleasure and honor to do work that they love while making a difference in the lives of others.
