Extending from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, The Cambridge History of Cuban Literature is the first book in English to tell the intricate story of Cuban literary-intellectual culture from the seventeenth-century to the twenty-first century. This landmark book highlights the intricacies of linguistic and cultural translation embodied in telling a story in English about a body of work expressed predominantly in Spanish, but also French, Haitian Kreyòl, Angolan Portuguese, and English. Broad in its scope, this book encompasses such major figures as Gómez de Avellaneda, Heredia, Plácido, Manzano, Villaverde, Martí, Casal, Carpentier, L. Cabrera, Mañach, Loynaz, Piñera, Lezama Lima, and Cabrera Infante, as well as theatre and performance groups, film, post-revolutionary projects, post-1989 Special Period writers, and literature of Cuba's diasporas. It highlights four key features weaving through Cuban literary history: its engagement with international networks; its key role in cultural identity debates throughout Latin America; persistent debates about race, gender, and class; and the tropes of travel and movement-voluntary, exploratory, enslaved, migratory, or exilic.

Elissa R. Sloan, author of The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes, returns with a sweeping drama about two A-list stars--a former star couple--as they cross each other's paths over and over again through the years, in a story that examines the work we have to do in order to grow into the people we want to become.Maiko Fox and Adrian Hightower were young, beautiful, in love...and famous. The latest model to grace the Valentina Posh runway show and the hottest new superhero actor were Hollywood's breakout couple. They were in every magazine, all over the most popular celebrity-blogs, and on countless E! News stories.They starred in a blockbuster film together, reaping box-office gold. Fans were at a fever pitch. No one could get enough of Madrian, the couple that printed money for the studios, for the paparazzi, for themselves.But then, their relationship crumbled.Years later, with Adrian topping the Hollywood A-list as a writer and director, dating the country's biggest pop star, and Maiko starring in movies for her celebrated producer-director husband, they live totally different lives. But they can never be too far apart. Madrian is still a box office draw, and the studios keep throwing them together.As the two grow more and more entangled again professionally, Maiko and Adrian have to reckon with themselves: are they happy with their current lives? Or have they grown to be better people when with each other?

Each trick is explained in detail with an entertaining presentation, notes on patter, and professional tips to bring each routine to life.

This remastered and expanded edition includes the original 1914 publication, unabridged, plus a publisher biography and carefully remastered diagrams and amends to text for clarity.

To movie critics, a bomb is unequivocally bad-something that failed artistically, failed at the box office, or both. John Vetto, who describes himself as a cinephile but (most assuredly) NOT a professional movie critic, defines the term more broadly. To Vetto, a bomb may have bombed at the box office or become a cult classic. It may be genuinely terrible or merely silly. The one thing all bombs have in common? They're fun to watch.In Bombs Away: Fifty Old, Often Bad, and Mostly Forgotten Films, in No Particular Order, Vetto takes a deep dive into these works not to make light of them (well, not just to make light of them) but to explore their history and themes, draw connections, provide insight into human nature, and enlighten us as to how and why these cheaply-made films were created.So, grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and settle back for an edifying, entertaining journey through an underexplored corner of pop culture.

This book presents a unique framework for the inclusion of ecomedia in the English language classroom to help learners cultivate global citizenship. Foregrounding learner agency in a world at risk, the author proposes a framework that hinges on human rights and critical eco-cosmopolitanism to help learners position themselves in discourses on climate change and act for transformation. The book discusses eco-documentaries as multimodal, factional texts against the background of cutting-edge research, refuting a definition based on the binary of fiction and non-fiction. Translating the insights gained from this discussion to the language education context, learners are conceptualised as active designers of meaning making when engaged with eco-documentaries. Based on this discussion, the book puts forth an innovative, multiliteracies-informed concept which is embedded in a sustainability-oriented pedagogy of hope, which encourages learners to learn and practice languages of hope and advocacy. The book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of ecopedagogy, sustainability education, global citizenship education and cultural learning, film pedagogy and language education, as well as language educators.

In 2014, President Xi Jinping¿s Beijing Talk on Arts and Literature, which serves as Chinäs latest Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ideological direction and cultural policy, stressed that ¿the future of Chinese cultural and creative industries is to be anchored on traditional art forms, such as xiqu¿. Such Chinese cultural and creative industry distinction will be addressed in this book.

"A rollicking, deeply reported story about how the early reality TV business metastasized into an industry that now dominates entertainment in the United States. Starting in 1948, Nussbaum pulls back the curtain on the cultural meat grinder that created a generation-defining form of entertainment, examining shows from The Real World to Survivor to The Apprentice. Through extensive interviews, Nussbaum follows the reality TV industry from its inception with shows like Candid Camera to its '90s heyday and '00s aftermath. The book dives into some of the industry's most remarkable stories--for instance, the one where a serial killer on the run once appeared on The Dating Game"--

Columbus's adventurous and romantic sea voyage and indomitable zeal to explore the 'New Land' or country is concatenated as a fresh chapter to the geographical history of the world. Though Columbus discovered America, it was named after the deceitful tartuffe Amerigo Vespucci. Along with the sufferings of the sea expedition and the apprehensions of life, he has subsequently experienced and overcome the frequent conspiracies plotted against him by his crew members on the ship and the royal court. Columbus marches ahead steadily with his strong mental prowess. He comes across failures time and again. But he has yet to deviate from his path to reach the goal. His only ambition is to discover the 'New Land'. Struggling for a long time in the Atlantic Ocean, he continues his expedition despite the hiccoughs and huddles on his way. To him, life aims to carry on adventurous journeys on sea irresistibly and uncontrollably. The life of Columbus is flamboyant. More dramatic is his struggling life and exhilarative journey on the sea. The combating spirit, intense desire and apprehensions he encountered help him live life with unbeatable strength and are a humble endeavour made through this play Columbus. In Odisha's religious world, the non-Hindu poet Salabega has a strange personality. By birth, Salabega is a Muslim, but he is one of the supreme devotees of Lord Jagannath. All his hymns or devotional songs are dedicated to Lord Jagannath. He has not been confined to Islam religion. Though he was a devotee of Jagannath, he couldn't be a Hindu throughout his life. He is prohibited from entering Jagannath Temple, Puri. Being trapped on the horns of the dilemma, he suffers a lot and plans for a new religion. Later, he named it the 'Religion of Humanity' and the natural outcome of that time. The play declares that, having been released from narrow parochialism and blind beliefs of caste and religion, Salabega has come forward irresistibly to propagate and establish his religion worldwide. To him, this 'Religion of Humanity' is true and eternal. He has consistently followed the path of righteousness. Wandering between two main religions, the mental strife or agonies he has undergone are the stuff for me in creating characters like Salabega. With a poetic sensibility and soul, this play has been scripted and published for the larger audience of the world.

Atmosphere, Cinema, Architecture: Thematic Reflections on Ambiance and Place explores cinema and architecture as ambient and affective settings or circumstances that can enable the emergence of atmosphere. This book is an interdisciplinary reading of cinematographic practice which develops useful implications for spatial composition in art and architectural design. The way a film is set up, directed, composed, framed, and technically constructed can provide parallels, analogies and metaphors for the spatial organisation of cities, landscapes and buildings.  Likewise, the way a built setting is conceived and devised can inform approaches to framing and spatial organisation in cinematography. The book begins on a personal note with a series of recollected atmospheric experiences, leading to an investigation of ambiguity and consilient discrepancy as circumstantial conditions necessary for the production of atmosphere. The mood of melancholia is explored to show the pivotal role that ambiguity, discrepancy and irresolution play in its distinctive ambiance. Atmosphere is then defined as an emergent condition arising between an ambient, affective circumstance and a mooded human being. The book then moves to analyse the inherent conditions in the setup of filmic and architectural settings that render them atmospheric. Reference is made to the cinema of Bresson, Resnais, Lynch, Tarr, Malik and Campion, and to Romanesque tympanae, the architectonic scenography of Franz Kafka's novel The Castle and the work of Spanish architects Flores Prats. The concluding section, Anatomy of Atmosphere, is a lexicon of concepts, themes and tactics around atmosphere that might usefully inform creative practice.

Contemporary screen industries such as film and television have become primary sites for visualizing borders, migration, maps, and travel as processes of separation and dislocation, but also connection. Migration, Dislocation and Movement on Screen pulls case studies in film and television industries from throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia to interrogate the nature of movement via moving images. By combining theoretical, interdisciplinary engagements with empirical research, this volume offers a new way to look at screen media's representations of our contemporary world's transnational and cosmopolitan imaginaries.
