Abstract

Goodbye to Morrissey is a case study about what it means in Pop culture to place trust in someone, to be their fan. As such, it deals on the surface with the political and ethical conflict exemplified by the swing of the singer Morrissey to the radical right. On a deeper level, it treats the fundamental questions accompanying Morrissey's shift: the relationship between art and morality, idol and idolizer, critique and myth. Superficiality and profundity - Pop and philosophy - illuminate each other in one provocative essay.

Abstract

'In MOØDe presenteert de internationaal toonaangevende fotograaf en filmmaker Anton Corbijn beelden uit zijn rijke oeuvre waarin hij de cross-over tussen de fotografie en de modewereld opzoekt. Daarmee omarmt hij de term ‘mode’ in de ruimste zin. De portretten die Corbijn maakte van onder anderen Alexander McQueen, Tom Waits, Kate Moss, Björk en Clint Eastwood hebben een iconische status verworven. Als visual director achter Depeche Mode en door zijn decennialange samenwerking met onder meer U2 heeft hij een stempel gedrukt op hoe wij naar een belangrijk stuk hedendaagse cultuur kijken. In MOØDe toont Anton Corbijn dat mode overal is. Met een tekstbijdrage van Karen Van Godtsenhoven, associate curator van The Costume Institute van het Metropolitan Museum of Art.'

Abstract

“This is an impressive work that will make innovative contributions to the fields of star studies, cultural studies, aural diversity, sound studies, world cinema studies, and many other fields.” -- David Greven, Professor of English, University of South Carolina, USA This book analyses the uses of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a foreign star in Hollywood through a film philosophical, de-westernizing and sonic critical framework. It offers very close readings of the film texts, of the roles Schwarzenegger performs, and the rhetorical strategies he adopts outside his film performances to show that in spite of attempts to occupy the position of an emblematic member of the U.S. national body Schwarzenegger remains irrevocably outside as an accented migrant body continuously accumulating markers of belonging that by their very necessity attest to their insufficiency. The book’s central project is to trace back, from the uses to which a migrant star such as Schwarzenegger is put on the screen, the construction of a sense or idea of a U.S. national community through the cinema. Given that the appeal to the American myth of an immigrant nation that promises to erase difference is fundamental to the Schwarzenegger star persona, the central aim of this book is to explore the uses of his stardom as an embodiment of the promise of America and its contradictions and exclusions. Gábor Gergely works at the University of Lincoln, UK. His research applies a de-westernizing method to questions of belonging and exclusion within the framework of trans/national cinema and star studies. He has published monographs on émigré actors in Hollywood and on Hungarian production history and antisemitism. He edited Stars and Stardom in Eastern European Cinemas (2022) and co-edited The Routledge Companion to European Cinema (2022).

Abstract

‘WILDE NOW is an important contribution to the study of Oscar Wilde as a proto-postmodernist. With this book, Pierpaolo Martino has greatly enhanced our knowledge of the importance of Wilde’s life and works to the development of contemporary music, literature and film. The richness of the research and scholarship that went into the creation of this study is evident in all of the chapters. The analysis of the Wildean strand in modern music is exceptionally rewarding. This volume will undoubtedly be of value to both new and established scholars of Wilde’s life and literary oeuvre’. -Graham Price, Media Studies Lecturer, NUI Maynooth, Author of Oscar Wilde and Contemporary Irish Drama: Learning to be Oscar’s Contemporary. WILDE NOW reads Oscar Wilde through our now, through a contemporary sensibility (and approach), in which literature and popular culture interrogate and are interrogated by critical concepts and categories such as performance, celebrity, intermediality, and consumerism. This volume exceeds the shape and meaning of a critical study to turn into a drama of five different acts/moments in Wilde’s life and work: his early performances in Dublin, London and Oxford; the 1882 American tour; his successful season of the first half of the 1890s, his prison years and finally his glorious resurrection in contemporary pop culture. Most importantly WILDE NOW approaches these moments through contemporary rewritings and performances of “Oscar Wilde” in the fields of cinema, music and literature by such artists as Al Pacino, Rupert Everett, Stephen Fry, Gyles Brandreth, David Hare, David Bowie, Morrissey, Nick Cave, Neil Tennant and Gavin Friday. These artists – through their awareness of the importance of being/playing Oscar in their specific worlds and cultural contexts – will also show us that Wilde can be conceived as a subversive, critical role one might successfully perform and appropriate, now more than ever. Pierpaolo Martino is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Bari, Italy. He is the author of Mark the Music: The Language of Music in English Literature from Shakespeare to Salman Rushdie (2012), and co-editor of Oscar Wilde in the Third Millennium: Approaches, Directions, Re-evaluations (2022).

Abstract

Laat iedereen versteld staan van je algemene kennisOm de actualiteit goed te kunnen volgen, is het nodig om een aantal basisbegrippen te kennen. Het eerder verschenen 500 woorden die iedereen moet kennen plukte de meest courante uit de media en gaf er snedig tekst en uitleg bij. Het succes daarvan legde een nood bloot. Vandaar dit nieuwe boekje met 500 mensen die nu al, bij leven, een begrip zijn.Van Ahmadinejad tot Zuma, met daartussen Ben Bernanke, Lady Gaga, Edward Snowden, Peter Hicks en 494 anderen. Ook nu werkten beroepsjournalisten mee zoals Yves Desmet, Corry Hancké en Bart Van Belle.Bron : http://www.lannoocampus.be
