Playing with Memories is the first collection of scholarly essays on the work of internationally acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin. It offers extensive perspectives on his career to date, from the early experimentation of The Dead Father (1986) to the intensely intimate revelations of My Winnipeg (2007). Featuring new and updated essays from American, Canadian, and Australian scholars, collaborators, and critics, as well as an in-depth interview with Maddin, this collection explores the aesthetics and politics behind Maddin’s work, firmly situating his films within ongoing cultural debates about postmodernism, genre, and national identity.

This dissertation challenges the conventional narrative of Danish colonial history by critiquing the predominant reliance on textual records and archives as primary carriers of historical knowledge. Through case studies focused on landscape and landscaping practices, it offers an alternative approach to understanding the past by actively engaging with material heritage in what is conceptualized as a vibrant archive. Utilizing interdisciplinary and practice-led methodologies, from cultural and memory studies to ecocriticism, the research examines and engages with colonial history through case studies in dialog with contemporary interlocutors. Emphasizing the dynamic nature of landscapes as vibrant archives-in-the-making, building on Jane Bennett’s concept of vibrant matter, the dissertation underscores their capacity to both shape and be shaped by diverse actors and forces. This perspective prioritizes ethical considerations in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage, aiming to foster inclusivity and resilience in shaping future landscapes. As landscapes embody multiple pasts that transcend national borders, they reveal a global network of interconnected material heritage. However, prevailing historical understandings often prioritize certain discursive national formations, limiting a comprehensive grasp of global connectivity. By exploring contemporary investments in constructing new relational pasts, the dissertation seeks to broaden the analytical scope and challenge such dominant narratives. Through an exploration of colonial trauma and the enduring impacts of historical violence, the research delves into the entangled relationships between past, present, and future. Additionally, the dissertation investigates the role of sound recordings in creating immersive narratives and enhancing the communication of findings, offering insights into preservation efforts, cultural revitalization projects, and community-led initiatives in a contemporary context. Throughout the research, there is a consistent advocacy for a more just and inclusive approach to caring for the colonial archive within the context of colonial exploitation and ecological crisis. This emphasis on interconnectedness across social, environmental, and cultural dynamics highlights the urgent need to reckon with colonial legacies to promote social and environmental justice. Denna avhandling utmanar den konventionella berättelsen om dansk kolonialhistoria genom att kritisera den rådande särställning som skrivna dokument och arkiv har i förmedlingen av historisk kunskap. Via fallstudier som fokuserar på landskap och landskapspraktiker erbjuder den ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för att förstå det förflutna genom att aktivt engagera sig med materiellt arv i det som konceptualiseras som ett vibrerande arkiv. Med hjälp av tvärvetenskapliga och praxisbaserade metoder, från kultur- och minnesstudier till ekokritik, undersöks kolonialhistorien i fallstudier i dialog med samtida samtalspartner. Genom att betona landskapens dynamiska natur som vibrerande arkiv under uppbyggnad, med utgångspunkt i Jane Bennetts begrepp vibrerande materia, framhåller avhandlingen deras förmåga att både forma och formas av olika aktörer och krafter. Detta perspektiv lyfter fram etiska överväganden i bevarandet och tolkningen av kulturellt arv, med målet att främja inkludering och resiliens i utformningen av framtida landskap. Eftersom landskap förkroppsligar flera skepnader av det förflutna som överskrider nationsgränser, vittnar de om ett globalt nätverk av sammanlänkat materiellt arv. Emellertid betonar rådande historiska förståelser ofta vissa diskursiva nationella formationer, vilket begränsar en heltäckande förståelse av en global sammanlänkning. Genom att utforska samtida ansatser att konstruera det förflutna som multipelt och relationellt, strävar avhandlingen efter att bredda den analytiska ramen och utmana sådana dominerande berättelser. Koloniala trauman och de bestående effekterna av historiskt våld utforskas, vilket leder till en fördjupad förståelse av de sammanflätade relationerna mellan förflutet, nutid och framtid. Dessutom undersöker avhandlingen ljudinspelningars roll i att skapa immersiva berättelser och förbättra kommunikationen av forskningsresultat, och erbjuder insikter i bevarandeinsatser, kulturella revitaliseringsprojekt och samhällsledda initiativ i en samtida kontext. Genomgående förespråkas i avhandlingen ett mer rättvist och inkluderande tillvägagångssätt när det gäller omsorgen om det koloniala arkivet inom ramen för kolonial exploatering och ekologisk kris. Denna betoning på sammanlänkning av sociala, miljömässiga och kulturella dynamiker framhäver det akuta behovet av att hantera det koloniala arvet för att främja social och miljömässig rättvisa.

Shakespeare in the 'Post'Colonies provides a wide-ranging examination of engagements with and adaptations of Shakespeare in regions that were once under European colonial rule. Arguing for the 'Post'Colonies as a distinct category within Global Shakespeares, this volume explores the reality of 21st-century Shakespeares in geographies of post-colonial and postcolonial inheritance, such as continental Africa, Australasia, the Arab world, the Indian subcontinent, East Asia and the Americas. As former colonies in Asia and Africa cross fifty and even seventy years of political independence, contributors re-examine the presence of Shakespeare in marginalised or politically disenfranchised communities, interrogating how Shakespeare intersects with the internal and global power dynamics of post-independence nations. The essays cover a rich array of genres ranging from theatrical performances, translations, and cinematic adaptations to classroom strategies. They turn to texts that have often gone ignored and give voice to Shakespeare appropriations by subaltern groups. Essays address questions of race, gender, nationality, indigeneity, caste and class, shedding new light on the diverse range of contemporary Shakespeare engagements across the global 'Post'Colonies.

“An entertaining procession through French history and culture as well as a shrewd portrait of contemporary France, it’s full of surprises and revelations.” —Chicago Tribune They Eat Horses, Don’t They?: The Truth About the French tells you what life in France is really like. Do the French eat horses? Do French women bare all on the beach? What is a bidet really used for? In this hilarious and informative book, Piu Marie Eatwell reveals the truth behind forty-five myths about the French, from the infamous horsemeat banquets of the nineteenth century that inspired an irrepressible rumor, to breaking down our long-held beliefs about French history and society (the French are a nation of cheese-eating surrender monkeys, right?). Eatwell lived in France for many years and made the most of long French weekends, extended holidays, and paid time off to sit on French beaches, evaluate the sexual allure of the French men and women around her, and, of course, scan café menus for horses and frogs. As a result, They Eat Horses, Don’t They? reveals a fascinating picture of historical and contemporary France—a country that has both changed radically in the twenty-first century, but yet still retains much of the mystery, romance, and allure that has seduced foreigners for decades. Truth, as always, is stranger than fiction . . . “Highly entertaining . . . offers a welcome corrective to the charming postcard tableaux on display in the faux innocent-abroad works that have proliferated like multicolored macarons.” —The New York Times Book Review “[A] very funny take-down of French stereotypes . . . Eatwell’s tome is not only humorous, but also painstakingly researched.” —The Boston Globe

This edited collection explores the narrative, genre, nostalgia and fandoms of the phenomenally successful Netflix original series, Stranger Things. The book brings together scholars in the fields of media, humanities, communications and cultural studies to consider the various ways in which the Duffer Brothers’ show both challenges and confirms pre-conceived notions of cult media. Through its three sections on texts, contexts and receptions, the collection examines all aspects of the series’ presence in popular culture, engaging in debates surrounding cult horror, teen drama, fan practices, and contemporary anxieties in the era of Trump. Its chapters seek to address relatively neglected areas of scholarship in the realm of cult media, such as set design, fashion, and the immersive Secret Cinema Experience. These discussions also serve to demonstrate how cult texts are facilitated by the new age of television, where notions of medium specificity are fundamentally transformed and streaming platforms open up shows to extensive analysis in the now mainstream world of cult entertainment.

1993 The Year That Went Full Blobby written by Rod Perry and has been published by Field Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with History categories.
Say hello to 1993 — the year Mr Blobby stormed the charts, Beavis and Butt-Head hit the telly, and Britain teetered gloriously between grunge and girl power. This was the year we couldn’t escape Jurassic Park (and didn’t want to), Sleepless in Seattle made us cry into our Viennetta, and Blind Date was still the height of romantic aspiration. Politically, John Major was still hanging in there, but so was the hangover from Black Wednesday, and even the Queen admitted it hadn’t been a great time lately. But never mind that — Take That had Relight My Fire, Meat Loaf wouldn’t do that (whatever “that” was), and Whitney was still belting ballads no one else could quite match. Meanwhile, The X-Files made us believe, Men Behaving Badly fully hit its stride, and The Word continued to corrupt a generation one late Friday at a time. From shell suits to slow dances, cassette singles to catalogue shopping, 1993 captures a nation muddling through with big hair, bigger tunes, and a surprising amount of custard pies. 1993 — the year we didn’t take too seriously, and that was exactly the point.

Britpop and the English Music Tradition is the first study devoted exclusively to the Britpop phenomenon and its contexts. The genre of Britpop, with its assertion of Englishness, evolved at the same time that devolution was striking deep into the hegemonic claims of English culture to represent Britain. It is usually argued that Britpop, with its strident declarations of Englishness, was a response to the dominance of grunge. The contributors in this volume take a different point of view: that Britpop celebrated Englishness at a time when British culture, with its English hegemonic core, was being challenged and dismantled. It is now timely to look back on Britpop as a cultural phenomenon of the 1990s that can be set into the political context of its time, and into the cultural context of the last fifty years - a time of fundamental revision of what it means to be British and English. The book examines issues such as the historical antecedents of Britpop, the subjectivities governing the performative conventions of Britpop, the cultural context within which Britpop unfolded, and its influence on the post-Britpop music scene in the UK. While Britpop is central to the volume, discussion of this phenomenon is used as an opportunity to examine the particularities of English popular music since the turn of the twentieth century.

Eliza Carthy is the daughter of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. The clan has often been rightly described as folk's royal family. Martin was in Steeleye Span, Albion Dance band and the Watersons as well as holding down a successful solo career. Norma was a member of the Watersons folk group. Perhaps it was inevitable that Eliza would follow the family trade and become a folk musician. She is no pale imitator though, and can play just about any stringed instrument like a virtuoso, though amazingly she underrates herself. This self- doubt seems at odds with the public persona of a brassy northern lass, who has sometimes been described as 'difficult' (though not in our experience). Her albums are exceptional slices of traditional and new folk, but the stage is her natural home, enthralling audiences with a blend of folk, jazz, rock and music hall. 2011 saw her win two out of the three categories she was nominated for in the Radio 2 British Folk Awards, to swell an already bulging trophy cabinet. At 35 years of age it seems apt to chronicle the first half of an eventful life. In addition to extensive interviews with Eliza herself, the book contains interviews with her parents and other family members and also many of the people Eliza has worked with: Billy Bragg, comedian Stewart Lee, Richard Thompson Vandyke Parkes and many more were fulsome in their praise of Eliza when interviewed. She has toured America with Joan Baez. Eliza has an extensive collection of photographs that people have taken of her and she has been exceptionally generous in letting us use them.
