This book represents the first serious consideration of the 'domestic noir' phenomenon and, by extension, the psychological thriller. The only such landmark collection since Lee Horsley's The Noir Thriller, it extends the argument for serious, academic study of crime fiction, particularly in relation to gender, domestic violence, social and political awareness, psychological acuity, and structural and narratological inventiveness. As well as this, it shifts the debate around the sub-genre firmly up to date and brings together a range of global voices to dissect and situate the notion of 'domestic noir'. This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and fans of the psychological thriller.
" 'A camera in the hand and ideas in the head' was the primary axiom of the young originators of Brazil's Cinema Novo. This movement of the 1960s and early 1970s overcame technical constraints and produced films on minimal budgets. In Allegories of Underdevelopment, Ismail Xavier examines a number of these films, arguing that they served to represent a nation undergoing a political and social transformation into modernity. Its best-known voice, filmmaker Glauber Rocha claimed that Cinema Novo was driven by an "aesthetics of hunger." This scarcity of means demanded new cinematic approaches that eventually gave rise to a legitimate and unique Third World cinema. Xavier stands in the vanguard of scholars presenting and interpreting these revolutionary films - from the masterworks of Rocha to the groundbreaking experiments of Julio Bressane, Rogério Sganzerla, Andrea Tonacci and Arthur Omar - to an English-speaking audience. Focusing on each filmmaker's use of narrative allegories for the "conservative modernization" Brazil and other nations underwent in the 1960s and 1970s, Xavier asks questions relating to the connection between film and history. He examines the way Cinema Novo transformed Brazil's cultural memory and charts the controversial roles that Marginal Cinema and Tropicalism played in this process. Among the films he discusses are Black God, White Devil, Land in Anguish, Red Light Bandit, Macunaíma, Antônio das Mortes, The Angel Is Born, and Killed the Family and Went to the Movies." -- Book cover.

En octubre de 2007, el autor Clinton Cruickshank comenzó a recibir una serie de revelaciones con una claridad poco común. Debido al contenido de las mismas, entendió que se trataba de revelaciones de Dios. En el Misterio de Dios, Cruickshank comparte estas revelaciones del Señor que son para todos nosotros. En él, proporciona las respuestas a una serie de preguntas que han intrigado a la humanidad durante siglos. Para explicar algunas de las obras y actos divinos de Dios, Cruickshank tuvo que crear una variedad de nuevos términos y expresiones. Expresiones tales como, el principio del holograma, el principio inverso del holograma, la infraestructura infinita, el canal de recepción primario (CRP), el canal de recepción secundario (CRS) y muchas más. El Misterio de Dios también aborda más de tres docenas de preguntas esenciales con respuestas que revelan su propósito y sus designios para el ser humano y para su reino. Dios explica, asimismo, por qué él es el alfa y la omega y aclara la diferencia entre él como el Dios alfa y él como el Dios omega sin dejar de ser el mismo y único Dios. De esta manera, Cruickshank nos comparte sorprendentes revelaciones que nos da un atisbo, un extraordinario vistazo al misterio de Dios.
La obra m&á s completa de Mart&í n Lutero acerca de la justificaci&ó n por la fe, su Comentario sobre la Ep&í stola de San Pablo a los G&á latas, se ha traducido y editado desde el lat&í n a un estilo vivaz, equivalente a sus conferencias orales. El fundamento b&í blico para la crucial doctrina de la justificaci&ó n, combinado con la pasi&ó n y la fe expresadas en estas conferencias, se pone de relieve y se expone para una nueva audiencia.El comentario es, adem&á s, un documento hist&ó rico, un registro de un profesor en un aula de 1531, de julio a diciembre, que expresa el compromiso del reformador con las buenas nuevas de la muerte de Jes&ú s en lugar del pecador, y desaf&í a al lector/oyente a comparar la teolog&í a de San Pablo con lo que é l o ella escucha en la iglesia de hoy.
In the work he considered his masterpiece, Persiles and Sigismunda, Cervantes finally explores the reality of woman--an abstraction largely idealized in his earlier writing. Traditional critics have perpetuated this disembodied ideal woman: "Every Man," claimed the translators of the 1706 Don Quixote, has "some darling Dulcinea of his Thoughts." As Diana de Armas Wilson shows, however, Cervantes himself envisioned the radical embodiment of "Dulcinea" in the later Persiles, a pan-European Renaissance allegory. Wilson illuminates Cervantes's strategic use of the ancient genre of Greek romance to contest various chivalric fictions about women, love, and marriage--fictions collapsing under the constraints of an emerging bourgeois culture. Taking as her subject Cervantes's erotic imperative--to leave behind "barbaric" notions of love in quest of a new conceptual space--Wilson demonstrates how the heroes of the Persiles, unlike Don Quixote, learn to cross the borders of difference. Their journey toward marriage is illustrated by thirteen inset "exemplary novels," perhaps the most exploratory of Cervantes's writings. Allegories of Love not only examines the fundamental importance of sexual and cultural difference in Cervantes's last romance, but also reveals the historical conditions of representation itself during the late Renaissance.
