Many believe Max Steiner's score for King Kong (1933) was the first important attempt at integrating background music into sound film, but a closer look at the industry's early sound era (1926-1934) reveals a more extended and fascinating story. Viewing more than two hundred films from the period, Michael Slowik launches the first comprehensive study of a long-neglected phase in Hollywood's initial development, recasting the history of film sound and its relationship to the "Golden Age" of film music (1935-1950).Slowik follows filmmakers' shifting combinations of sound and image, recapturing the volatility of this era and the variety of film music strategies that were tested, abandoned, and kept. He explores early film music experiments and accompaniment practices in opera, melodrama, musicals, radio, and silent films and discusses the impact of the advent of synchronized dialogue. He concludes with a reassessment of King Kong and its groundbreaking approach to film music, challenging the film's place and importance in the timeline of sound achievement.

Metáfora de vida ¿quién no se ha sentido exiliado, digamos, de su niñez o su adolescencia, o siquiera de algún paraíso perdido?, como fenómeno histórico del exilio ha estado presente en México en forma destacada a lo largo del siglo XX. Entre los exilios mexicanos ocupa un lugar sobresaliente el de los republicanos españoles, que aportaron a México la levadura humana que habría de transformar profundamente la cultura, y por ende la sociedad mexicana entera. El grado espléndido de su éxito, la enorme riqueza de su aportación en todos los órdenes de la vida, ha oscurecido el hecho de que la decisión de abrir las puertas del país a -los refugiados- de la guerra civil española, tuvo sus raíces en una historia que se fue configurando paso a paso, con todos sus riesgos, a través de un complejo contrapunto entre el desarrollo inexorable de la tragedia española y las reacciones que fue provocando en México: entre ellas, la apropiación que el país hizo de la guerra española; la venta de armas mexicanas a la república y el apoyo de México en los frentes diplomáticos de la Sociedad de Naciones; la creación de la escuela España-México para dar refugio a los Niños de Morelia y de La Casa de España para acoger a un grupo de intelectuales republicanos; y, por fin, en la decisión de recibir a los refugiados. Las raíces del exilio es la historia compleja y contradictoria de cómo y por qué fue anudándose la tupida red de compromisos, simpatías, coincidencias y complicidades entre México y la República española, que habría de dar lugar a una de las decisiones más controvertidas, más importantes y exitosas del régimen de Lázaro Cárdenas, más definitorias, en suma, de la identidad actual del pueblo mexicano.

For many years, histories of the Holocaust focused on its perpetrators, and only recently have more scholars begun to consider in detail the experiences of victims and survivors, as well as the documents they left behind. This volume contains new research from internationally established scholars. It provides an introduction to and overview of Jewish narratives of the Holocaust. The essays include new considerations of sources ranging from diaries and oral testimony to the hidden Oyneg Shabbes archive of the Warsaw Ghetto; arguments regarding Jewish narratives and how they fit into the larger

Between the two world wars, a distinct and vibrant film culture emerged in Europe. Film festivals and schools were established; film theory and history was written that took cinema seriously as an art form; and critical writing that created the film canon flourished. This scene was decidedly transnational and creative, overcoming traditional boundaries between theory and practice, and between national and linguistic borders. This new European film culture established film as a valid form of social expression, as an art form, and as a political force to be reckoned with. By examining the extraordinarily rich and creative uses of cinema in the interwar period, we can examine the roots of film culture as we know it today.

In 1910, al-Mahdi al-Wazzani, a prominent Moroccan Islamic scholar completed his massive compilation of Maliki fatwas. An eleven-volume set, it is the most extensive collection of fatwas written and published in the Arab Middle East during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Al-Wazzani's legal opinions addressed practical concerns and questions: What are the ethical and legal duties of Muslims residing under European rule? Is emigration from non-Muslim territory an absolute duty? Is it ethical for Muslim merchants to travel to Europe? Is it legal to consume European-manufac
