In this first extended study of Austrlian short fiction, Bruce Bennett adopts Christina Stead's metaphor of an 'ocean of story' to suggest the universality of storytelling, and the marks it leaves for posterity. Chapters look at writers and movements within a chronological span, beginning with the unquiet spirits of the nineteenth century, and proceeding through the 'masculine ascendancy' of the "Bulletin" men and Henry Lawson, to the 'alternative traditions' from 1880 to 1930 of a range of women writers, of Steele Rudd, and others writing of war, travel and the immigrant experience. A chapter on 'local loyalties and modernist impulses' covers 1930 to 1950, 'politics and storytelling' the decades from 1950 to 1970, and 'days of wine, rage and the little dance' the 1970s. 'Home and away' studies writing from the 1980s to the present, and 'states of the art' looks at preoccupations and challenges in sub-genres such as crime and science fiction.

Cycling and Cinema' explores the history of the bicycle in cinema from the late nineteenth century through to the present day. In this new book from Goldsmiths Press, Bruce Bennett examines a wide variety of films from around the world, ranging from Hollywood blockbusters and slapstick comedies to documentaries, realist dramas, and experimental films, to consider the complex, shifting cultural significance of the bicycle. 0The bicycle is an everyday technology, but in examining the ways in which bicycles are used in films, Bennett reveals the rich social and cultural importance of this apparently unremarkable machine. The cinematic bicycles discussed in this book have various functions. They are the source of absurd comedy in silent films, and the vehicles that allow their owners to work in sports films and social realist cinema. They are a means of independence and escape for children in melodramas and kids' films, and the tools that offer political agency and freedom to women, as depicted in films from around the world.

This comprehensive study of prolific British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom explores the thematic, stylistic, and intellectual consistencies running through his eclectic and controversial body of work. This volume undertakes a close analysis of a TV series directed by Winterbottom and sixteen of his films ranging from television dramas to transnational co-productions featuring Hollywood stars, and from documentaries to costume films. The critique is centered on Winterbottom's collaborative working practices, political and cultural contexts, and critical reception. Arguing that his work delineates a 'cinema of borders', this study examines Winterbottom's treatment of sexuality, class, ethnicity, and national and international politics, as well as his quest to adequately narrate inequality, injustice, and violence.

A North Korean government collapse would have serious consequences, including a humanitarian disaster and civil war. The Republic of Korea and the United States can help mitigate the consequences, seeking unification by being prepared to deliver humanitarian aid in the North, stop conflict, demilitarize the North Korean military over time, secure and eliminate North Korean weapons of mass destruction, and manage Chinese intervention.
