This edited volume offers a wide-ranging picture of Argentine women filmmakers’ contribution to the film industry from the 1980s to the present by bringing together the work of highly acclaimed and emerging directors. Through thirteen critical essays by leading scholars in the field of Argentine cinema, the book acknowledges that contemporary women filmmakers have transformed the cinema of Argentina by questioning, challenging and debunking hegemonic patriarchal systems of representation. With a focus on women’s voices and experiences, the contributions redress both the under-representation of women and girls onscreen and the perpetuation of stereotypes, while exploring the innovative aesthetics used by these filmmakers. “This is the first book in English dedicated to the rich output of recent Argentine women filmmakers and features work by leading experts. A comprehensive, and well researched book that tells multiple stories of women’s filmmaking in Argentina.” – Deborah Shaw, Professor of Film and Screen Studies, University of Portsmouth, UK Dr Mirna Vohnsen is Assistant Lecturer in Spanish at Technological University Dublin.

Since the 1880s, electrical energies started circulating in European theaters, generated from fossil fuels in urban power plants. A mysterious force, which was still traded as romantic life force by some and for others had already come to stand in for progress, entered performance venues. Engineering knowledge, control techniques and supply chains changed fundamentally how theater was made and thought of. The mechanical image machine from Renaissance and Baroque times was transformed into a thermodynamic engine. Modern theater turned out to be electrified theater. – Retracing what happened backstage before the Avantgarde took to the front stage, this book proposes to write the genealogy of theaters modernity as a cultural history of theater technology. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Das Theater der Elektrizität. Technologie und Spektakel im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert by Ulf Otto, published by J.B.Metzler, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The author has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically. .

“One of the foremost authorities on Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, Dr. Rayna Denison has now produced what will become the go-to book on the topic. Unique for its focus on the industrial conditions under which the Miyazaki mythos is produced, Studio Ghibli: An Industrial History offers a refreshing new take not only on Studio Ghibli and its directors but also on how to write about anime period – via studios and the way studios inform animation. Everyone should read and learn from this refreshing, essential account of Ghibli." -Marc Steinberg, Associate Professor, Concordia University, Canada takes us deep into the production world of the animation studio co-founded by Oscar-winning director Hayao Miyazaki. It investigates the production culture at Studio Ghibli and considers how the studio has become one of the world’s most famous animation houses. The book breaks with the usual methods for studying Miyazaki and Ghibli’s films, going beyond textual analysis to unpack the myths that have grown up around the studio during its long history. It looks back at over 35 years of filmmaking by Miyazaki and other Ghibli directors, reconsidering the studio’s reputation for egalitarianism and feminism, re-examining its relationship to the art of cel and CG animation, investigating Studio Ghibli’s work outside of feature filmmaking from advertising to videogames and tackling the studio’s difficulties in finding new generations of directors to follow in the footsteps of Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. By reconstructing the history of Studio Ghibli through its own records, promotional documents and staff interviews, Studio Ghibli: An Industrial History offers a new perspective not just on Ghibli, but on the industrial history of Japanese animation.
