Mervyn LeRoy Comes to Town is the first book devoted to the career of one of the director/producers who in the early years of sound cinema was instrumental in establishing the Hollywood model of production that would endure for more than half a century. As a director and producer, LeRoy was responsible for turning out more than sixty feature films in a career that spanned five decades; as a studio executive, he contributed substantially to the success of the industry during the challenging period of the Depression and also in the period of realignment and readjustment that followed the end of World War II. This book offers chapters devoted to individual films such as Little Caesar, Waterloo Bridge, 30 Seconds over Tokyo, Gypsy, and Quo Vadis.

Like many famous figures from antiquity, we must work through layers of fantasy in order to uncover the life of Poppaea Sabina (c. 30-65 CE). In this book, Neil Bernstein critically examines these sources to produce the first modern biography of Poppaea Sabina -- describing her scandalous parentage, her affair with the emperor, and even her implication in a murder plot.

Brill’s Companion to Ancient Greek and Roman Warfare on Film is the first volume exclusively dedicated to the study of a theme that informs virtually every reimagining of the classical world on the big screen: armed conflict. Through a vast array of case studies, from the silent era to recent years, the collection traces cinema’s enduring fascination with battles and violence in antiquity and explores the reasons, both synchronic and diachronic, for the central place that war occupies in celluloid Greece and Rome. Situating films in their artistic, economic, and sociopolitical context, the essays cast light on the industrial mechanisms through which the ancient battlefield is refashioned in cinema and investigate why the medium adopts a revisionist approach to textual and visual sources.

This collection focuses on the specific issue of controversy as a cross-sectional aspect of contemporary children’s and YA literature, in a spectrum stretching from national experiences, to explore the impact of specific historical, economic and social environments on the rise of controversies; to inter-national exchanges in which controversies are generated specifically by the interactions between cultures; to international contexts that deal with controversies relevant on a global scale. By adopting controversy as an adjustable lens for a joined consideration of literary themes, narrative or aesthetic solutions, translation choices, publishing and marketing decisions, and discursive practices, the volume establishes a diversified collection of chapters that offers new insight into functions of children’s and YA literature in contemporary culture.

thersites is an international open access journal for innovative transdisciplinary classical studies edited by Annemarie Ambühl, Filippo Carlà-Uhink, Christian Rollinger and Christine Walde. thersites expands classical reception studies by publishing original scholarship free of charge and by reflecting on Greco-Roman antiquity as present phenomenon and diachronic culture that is part of today’s transcultural and highly diverse world. Antiquity, in our understanding, does not merely belong to the past, but is always experienced and engaged in the present. thersites contributes to the critical review on methods, theories, approaches and subjects in classical scholarship, which currently seems to be awkwardly divided between traditional perspectives and cultural turns. thersites brings together scholars, writers, essayists, artists and all kinds of agents in the culture industry to get a better understanding of how antiquity constitutes a part of today’s culture and (trans-)forms our present. thersites appears twice yearly and publishes regular issues as well as specially-themed and guest-edited issues focused on individual subjects and questions. Call for papers are released regularly and long in advance on our homepage (https://thersites-journal.de/) and on other pages that feature announcements for classical studies (APA, Mommsen-Gesellschaft etc.).

This collection brings together perspectives on regional and social varieties of British English in fictional dialogue across works spanning various literary genres, showcasing authorial and translation innovation while also reflecting on their impact on the representation of sociolinguistic polarities. The volume explores the ways in which different varieties of British English, including Welsh, Scots, and Received Pronunciation, are portrayed across a range of texts, including novels, films, newspapers, television series, and plays. Building on metadiscourse which highlighted the growing importance of accent as an emblem of social stance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the chapters in this book examine how popular textual forms create and reinforce links between accent and social persona, and accent and individual idiolect. A look at these themes, as explored through the lens of audiovisual translation and the challenges of dubbing, sheds further light on the creative resources authors and translators draw on in representing sociolinguistic realities through accent. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in dialectology, audiovisual translation, literary translation, and media studies.

Имя Нерона стало синонимом всех возможных пороков – полюсом на красочной палитре зла. В памяти веков Нерон остался как тиран, матереубийца, поджигатель Рима и гонитель христиан. Есть и более благосклонный взгляд: толстый невротик, беспринципный бездельник, изнеженный неудачник, увлекавшийся поэзией и скачками, абсолютно непригодный к роли римского императора.Однако воспоминания о Нероне всегда были производными от сенатской историографии. Ни одной кормилице и ни одному дегустатору не пришла в голову идея перенести на папирус свое мнение о Нероне. Молчат римские наемные рабочие и ремесленники, постоянно занятые на строительных проектах императора, безмолвны телохранители Нерона, его вольноотпущенники, возничие, актеры и вообще простой люд – подавляющее большинство населения Рима и империи.Историк-антиковед Александр Бэтц не ставит перед собой задачи обелить Нерона, и для этого нет оснований; цель книги – демифологизировать императора. Бэтц предлагает погрузиться в реалии римского общества, систему императорской власти и дворцовые интриги, чтобы попытаться увидеть в образе Нерона что-то помимо оргий, безнравственности, декаданса, жестокости и произвола.В формате PDF A4 сохранён издательский дизайн.

Il panorama odierno delle riviste italiane di slavistica è relativamente ricco e comprende periodici che spesso hanno alle spalle molti anni o alcuni decenni di attività, abbracciando diverse aree degli studi slavi e coprendo ambiti tematici vasti e variegati o, in alcuni casi, presentando una specializzazione specifica. Tuttavia, settant’anni fa, quando nel lontano 1952 Giovanni Maver fondava “Ricerche slavistiche”, la situazione era ben diversa. Con l’Europa dell’Est situata al di là della cortina di ferro, la slavistica italiana attraversava una crisi profonda, con un numero di studenti drasticamente ridotto e con un interesse per gli argomenti slavi limitati a pochi iniziati. Grazie a “Ricerche slavistiche” gli studi slavi in Italia hanno ricevuto un nuovo, fondamentale impulso e si sono potuti sviluppare nei loro diversi ambiti, offrendo frutti il cui valore è stato non di rado riconosciuto anche a livello internazionale. Il volume si propone di ripercorrere i settant’anni di storia della rivista inquadrandola nella storia della slavistica italiana e consta di saggi che presentano i principali ambiti costitutivi degli studi inclusi in “Ricerche slavistiche”. Le bibliografie allegate ai saggi e l’indice dei nomi conferiscono ulteriore pregio e valore al volume.
