This collection studies the representations of the character of the monarch in literature and cinema. Being a person, an institution, a character archetype and a narrative role, the characters of the monarch and other royal or regal characters oscillate between humanity and the non-human. As such, they are hybrid forms of existence and subjectivity. The authors of this collection explore this hybridity across large spectra of genres, historical periods and cultural contexts. Some of the most prolific and widely read scholars analyze the archetype of the monarch on the page, the stage and the screen. They cover large swathes of intersecting creative and interpretive territories including ancient epic and religious poetry, Arthurian legends, British Renaissance and modern drama, British horror films and Hollywood crime and sports films. This collection also features interviews with six prominent comic book writers and artists, who discuss the influence of classical royal archetypes on their works.

This book responds to a growing interest in death, dying and the dead within and beyond the field of death studies. The collection defines an understanding of ‘difficult death’ and examines the differences between death, dying and the dead, as well as exploring the ethical challenges of researching death in mediated form. The collection is attendant to the ways in which difficult deaths are imbricated in power structures both before and after they become mediatised in culture. As such, the work navigates the many political and social complexities and inequalities – what might be deemed the difficulties – of death, dying and the dead. The book seeks to expand understandings of the difficulty of death in media and culture through a wide range of chapters from different contexts focused on literature, film, television, and in online environments, as well as several chapters examining news reportage of difficult deaths.

As properties of DC comics continue to sprout over the years, narratives that were once kept sacrosanct now spill over into one another, synergizing into one bona fide creative Universe. Intended for both professional pop culture researchers and general interest readers, this collection of essays covers DC Universe multimedia, including graphic novels, video games, movies and TV shows. Each essay is written by a recognized pop culture expert offering a distinct perspective on a wide variety of topics. Even though many of the entries address important social themes like gender and racism, the book is not limited to these topics. Also included are more lighthearted essays for full verisimilitude, including analyses of long forgotten or seemingly marginal aspects of the DC Extended Universe, as well as in-depth and original interpretations of the most beloved characters and their relationships to one another. Highly accessible and approachable, this work provides previously unavailable in-roads that create a richer comprehension of the ever-expanding DC Universe.

The essays in Muslim American Hyphenations: Cultural Production and Hybridity in the Twenty-first Century contest the lack of nuance in the public debates about American Islam and reclaim a self-determined identity by twenty-first century Muslim American writers, artists, and performers. Muslim American Hyphenations covers a wide spectrum of cultural representation based upon a shared religion that encompasses multiethnic and polylinguistic communities in the American landscape, challenging both the sacred-secular binary and the confines of multiculturalism. The contributors to this volume explore the codes of belonging in different American spheres, from transnational and local negotiations of immigrant and domestic Muslim Americans with nation, race, class, and gender, to the performance of faith in the creative manifestations of these identities. In their analyses, these scholars propose that Muslim American cultural productions provide an alternative space of dissensus and the utopian potentiality of connections with other minoritarian communities.

Giallo - saggio (229 pagine) - Una panoramica sulla detective fiction, con un focus su Agatha Christie e un'analisi di "Three Blind Mice" e il suo adattamento "The Mousetrap" La fama di Agatha Christie è profondamente legata anche a The Mousetrap, sua pièce più longeva: cosa si cela dietro la cornice di detective fiction alleggerita da momenti di effervescente comicità? L’oscurità dei temi trattati, radicata in un caso reale di violenza, riecheggia su pagine e palcoscenico a ricordarci che “Ci sono cose che non si dimenticano”. Approfondendo il concetto di identità in quanto trappola, la scrittrice inserì dettagli che permettono di riflettere su temi purtroppo ancora attuali e leggere oltre le righe, interpretando perfino il lieto (?) fine. Questo saggio offre una panoramica sulla detective fiction, per poi concentrarsi su Agatha Christie e infine analizzare Three Blind Mice e il suo adattamento The Mousetrap. Federica Crescentini ha conseguito la laurea triennale in Lingue e Culture Straniere presso l’Università degli studi di Urbino “Carlo Bo”, dove ha scelto di proseguire il percorso accademico ottenendo nel 2015 la laurea magistrale biennale in Lingue per la Didattica, l’Editoria, l’Impresa. La sua più grande passione è Agatha Christie, motivo per cui ha incentrato entrambe le tesi sulla Duchessa della Morte. Come studiosa indipendente ha continuato ad appassionarsi a ciò che più ama: nel 2017 ha partecipato alla conferenza “Agatha Christie:a Reappraisal” tenutasi a Cambridge, con un intervento focalizzato su Three Blind Mice e The Mousetrap. Successivamente ha elaborato un capitolo riguardante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale all’interno delle opere sopracitate, pubblicato nella raccolta Agatha Christie Goes to War a cura di R. Mills e J. C. Bernthal (Routledge 2020). A novembre 2019 ha preso parte come relatrice al convegno annuale Urbinoir, presso l’Università degli studi di Urbino; il tema trattato è stato inserito nel volume Non ricordo. Amnesie, vuoti di memoria e rimozioni nella letteratura e nel cinema noir a cura di Alessandra Calanchi e Roberto Danese (Aras, 2020). Nello stesso anno ha risposto a una call for papers con Wicked Speech and Evil Acts: Performativity as Discourse and Murder as Responsibility in Curtain-Poirot’s Last Case (1975) and Speedy Death (1929)”, poi inserito nella raccolta intitolata Performativity of Evil Characters in Anglophone Literature and Media a cura di Nizar Zouidi (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). Nel novembre 2022 è tornata a Urbinoir come relatrice nell’edizione dedicata a "Donne in Noir: le protagoniste della crime fiction contro la violenza e la discriminazione". Ama tutto ciò che ha a che fare col mistero.
