One morning, at dawn, a woman is walking by the sea when a tidal wave suddenly appears on the horizon, approaching the shore at tremendous speed. In fear for her life, the woman races back into the town, up a hill, through a wood and takes refuge in a hotel. Initially, ‘Cara’, as we come to know her, is relieved to be safe inside its protective walls, but being unable to ascertain from the staff what has happened down in the town, or even to go outside again herself, she quickly finds her memories beginning to seem unreal, and that her need to know is much less pressing. In the dark corridors of this hotel, with only formal, de-personalised waiters, strange books, and confusing shadowy dreams, for company, Cara feels both oppressed and ‘at home’. However, when three other guests arrive, her interest in the outside world is suddenly revived and she is encouraged to contemplate the possibility of leaving the hotel with them, on their departure.

"Since the early 1980s, the novel has been deemed by many Italian women writers to be the most apt vehicle for creating positive images of the future of women. The novel becomes the space for confession, while at the same time allowing greater expressive freedom. There is no longer one voice for the ""feminine role"" and, by creating heroines who are also intellectuals, these authors offer their readers models of alternative versions of self. This study is a partial inventory of the new women's narrative and aims to provide a broad literary framework through which both the general reader and the student can appreciate the characteristics and innovations of contemporary Italian women's fiction. The writers chosen for this study (Ginerva Bompiani, Edith Bruck, Paola Capriolo, Francesca Duranti, Rosetta Loy, Giuliana Morandini, Marta Morazzoni, Anna Maria Ortese, Sandra Petrignanni, Fabrizia Ramondino, Elisabetta Rasy and Francesca Sanvitale) have achieved both critical acclaim and public recognition and their texts show the richness of voices, topics and structures in Italian women's writing today."

John Fair and David Chapman tell the story of how filmmakers use and manipulate the appearance and performances of muscular men and women to enhance the appeal of their productions. The authors show how this practice, deeply rooted in western epistemological traditions, evolved from the art of photography through magic lantern and stage shows into the motion picture industry, arguing that the sight of muscles in action induced a higher degree of viewer entertainment. From Eugen Sandow to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, muscular actors appear capable of performing the miraculous, and with the aid of stuntmen and filming contrivances, they do. By such means, muscles are used to perfect the art of illusion, inherent in movie-making from its earliest days.

Romanzo fantasy di ambientazione medievale. Sullo sfondo del feudalesimo, creature dotate di poteri soprannaturali e sudditi inermi lottano per la sopravvivenza, oppressi da un tiranno secolare e divisi dalla superstiziosa paura dell'infezione demoniaca. L'atavica leggenda nera narra di demoni predatori talmente feroci da intimorire un drago famelico. Philip il Sanguinario persegue lo sterminio degli Infetti con il sostegno della Setta, un ordine religioso reso potente dagli oscuri alchimisti di Duran. I confratelli sono impareggiabili cacciatori di demoni, ma minacciano gli antichi privilegi dei feudatari. Nel fastoso mondo aristocratico, una donzella di nobile stirpe viene promessa in sposa al famigerato Duca. La Volpe, irrequieta custode di un insidioso segreto, suo malgrado è stretta nella morsa degli intrighi di palazzo. Nei bassifondi della città, la Caccia Rossa dei sicari sta per cominciare; la condanna al patibolo incombe su una famiglia operaia, tradita dallo stigma della nefasta malattia. Ovunque, l'Eroe Mascherato sfida gli spietati cacciatori di Infetti e si proclama paladino della giustizia. Nascosto nell'anonimato, il benefattore degli indigenti contraddice la leggenda nera sui demoni e non pare la tenebrosa creatura dei racconti popolari. In verità, nel Regno dei Lord più che altrove l'apparenza inganna. Arcani. Trame e delitti, amore e coraggio, lealtà e inganno: in fatti di sangue di tempi lontani si celano i misteri della dinastia egemone, inquietanti come lo sguardo cieco del Duca. Storie d'amore. Sotto la tirannide di Philip il Sanguinario, l'amore è un barlume di speranza, come quel raggio di luna che rischiara le fitte ombre del Lord della Notte, foriero dell'alba Wildsibling.

Corporeality in Early Cinema inspires a heightened awareness of the ways in which early film culture, and screen praxes overall are inherently embodied. Contributors argue that on- and offscreen (and in affiliated media and technological constellations), the body consists of flesh and nerves and is not just an abstract spectator or statistical audience entity. Audience responses from arousal to disgust, from identification to detachment, offer us a means to understand what spectators have always taken away from their cinematic experience. Through theoretical approaches and case studies, scholars offer a variety of models for stimulating historical research on corporeality and cinema by exploring the matrix of screened bodies, machine-made scaffolding, and their connections to the physical bodies in front of the screen.

"Contemporary fantastic fiction, particularly that written by women, often challenges traditional literary practice. At the same time the predominantly male-authored canon of fantastic literature offers a problematic range of gender stereotypes for female authors to 're-write'. Fantastic tropes, of space in particular, enable three important contemporary Italian female writers (Paola Capriolo, b. 1962; Francesca Duranti, b. 1935 and Rossana Ombres, b. 1931) to encounter and counter anxieties about writing from the female subject. All three writers begin by exploring the hermetic, fantastic space of enclosure with a critical, or troubled, eye, but eventually opt for wider national, and often international spaces, in which only a 'fantastic trace' remains. This shift mirrors their own increasingly confident distance from male-authored literary models and demonstrates the creative input that these writers bring to the literary canon, by redefining its generic boundaries."
