Entering the Frame is the first complete study of the cinema of Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi, pioneers of archival and found-footage films that testify to war, genocide and colonialism in the twentieth century. It explores their early performance-based «scented films» of the 1970s, before focusing on the historical films, such as From the Pole to the Equator, for which they are best known. The book analyses how Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi manipulate rare footage through re-photographing, hand-tinting and altering film speeds, to produce work of an other-worldly quality.Retrospectives of the films of Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi at the Jeu de Paume in Paris (2006) and at MoMA in New York (2009) have signalled international recognition at the highest level, as have appraisals by leading scholars of cinema such as Scott MacDonald and Raymond Bellour. Their work is unusual in attracting different audiences, and in relating art practices to wider ethical, historical and political issues. Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi have transformed old documentary footage into works that resonate in debates about postcolonialism as well as about the documentary form, the corporeality of the viewing experience and the metamorphoses of cinema.The volume includes a preface by the cultural historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of Italian and History at New York University.

This longitudinal study is based on the story of Lola, who was gang raped during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. At the time, she was in a detention camp with her young children. Only one of Loläs several perpetrators was convicted but his sentence of six years of imprisonment has never been actioned by the Bosnian judiciary. Loläs rapist is still free and she lives in continual fear that he will retaliate against her and her children for her role in his trial.

Offers a collection of interviews, original historical research, and primary sources examining the trailblazing lives and movements of radical women who have shaped the modern world. Rosa Luxemburg, Claudia Jones and Leila Khaled may have joined Lenin, Mao and Che in the pantheon of twentieth-century revolutionaries, but the histories in which they figure remain unjustly dominated by men. This volume sets the record straight, revealing how women have contributed to revolutionary movements across the world in endless ways: as leaders, rebels, trailblazers, guerrillas and writers; revolutionaries who also navigated their gendered roles as women, mothers, wives and daughters. --From publisher's description.

Challenges, opportunities, and methodological issues in the creation of oral history archives in the Arab worldOral history archives have always been at the forefront of liberatory social movements in general, and of feminist movement in particular. Until the end of the twentieth century in the Arab world, archives of women's oral narratives were almost non-existent with the exception of small documentation efforts tied to individual research. However, since 2011, there has been a marked increase in the documentation of projects.In this context, the Women and Memory Forum organized a conference in 2015 about the challenges of creating gender sensitive oral history archives in times of change. The papers in this collection shed light on documentation initiatives in Arab countries in transitional and conflict situations, in addition to international experiences. They engage with questions around archives and power, the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies to the making and preserving of archives, ethical concerns in the construction of archives, women's archives and the production of alternative knowledge, as well as conceptual and methodological issues in oral history.CONTRIBUTORS: Faiha Abdulhadi, Sondra Hale, Manal Hamzeh, Maissan Hassan, Nahawand El Kaderi Issa, Diana Magdy, Jean Said Makdisi, Noor Nieftagodien, Rafif Saidawy, Lucine Taminian, Stephen Urgola

Hvad skal du gøre, hvis du støder på en Qivittoq? Kan du løbe fra den sagnomspundne Ikusik? Og hvad er en Tupilak lavet af? For ca. 4500 år siden landede de første Inuit i Grønland via Nordamerika og bragte historier med sig om de mytiske væsener, som levede sammen med dem. Disse væsener og monstre har overlevet tidens tand, selvom de nogle gange har måttet genopfinde sig selv for at passe ind i den moderne verden. Denne praktiske lomme-guide giver dig gode råd om hvad du skal gøre og ikke gøre, hvis du støder på nogle af disse væsener i den arktiske vildmark.God jagt!

Der erste Teil dieser Sprachgeschichte hat den Sprachstrukturwandel im mecklenburgischen Varietätengefüge nachgezeichnet. Der zweite Teil beleuchtet ergänzend, was 90 Zeitzeuginnen und Zeitzeugen über den Wandel in ihrem Sprachgebrauch und ihren Spracheinstellungen berichten und welche Veränderungen sie in ihrem gesellschaftlichen und sprachlichen Umfeld beobachtet haben. Der Fokus dieser oral language history liegt dabei wieder auf dem Gefüge von konkurrierenden Kontaktvarietäten, die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in Mecklenburg aufeinandertrafen: auf dem Niederdeutschen, den Herkunftsvarietäten der immigrierten Vertriebenen und dem (regionalen) Hochdeutschen. Rekonstruiert werden jeweils Entwicklungen im Spracherwerb, in der Sprachkompetenz, der Sprachpragmatik und der Sprachwahrnehmung.

Written in clear language, this volume contains step-by-step instructions, detailed advice, checklists and exercises to help teachers convey the concept of oral history. It offers teachers a useful toolkit for teaching methodological grounding, practical skills and abilities, and highlights the social significance of oral history, its challenges and potential.
