    Bringing together a range of creative practitioners and notable scholars, such as Thomas Elsaesser, Catherine Grant, Roberta Mock, Warren Buckland, Kiki Tianqi Yu, William Brown and others, this fascinating collection explores the challenges of retaining integrity during times of political and economic tensions in higher education and elsewhere. Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness offers a space for reflection for both practitioners and theorists, examining the conflict between creative inspiration and the reality of having to produce work that contributes to human knowledge, and that can also be measured against governmental standards, rules and regulations. The contributors present a radical and much-needed intervention that will interest all academics engaged with creative practice research. The volume also contains Thomas Elsaesser's unique personal account of the making of his first and only film The Sun Island. Agnieszka Piotrowska is an award-winning filmmaker and theorist, a Reader in Film Practice and Theory at the University of Bedfordshire and Visiting Professor at Gdansk University. Best known for her iconic documentary Married to the Eiffel Tower (2008), she is the author of three monographs and numerous journal articles. This is her fourth edited collection.

    Perhaps because they are so immediately absorbing, narrative films can also be profoundly confusing and disorienting. This fascinating book neither proposes fool-proof methods for avoiding confusion, nor does it suggest that disorientation is always a virtue. Instead, it argues that the best way to come to terms with our confusion is to look closely at exactly what is confusing us, and why. At the heart of the book are original close readings of four important recent films: David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (2006), Leos Carax's Holy Motors (2012), Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth (2006) and Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language (2014). Clearly written but critically and theoretically bold, The Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions explores both how we get (or fail to get) our bearings with respect to a film, and what we might discover by (and while) doing so. Dominic Lash is a film scholar and musician. His writing on film has appeared in Screen, Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism, Senses of Cinema and elsewhere. He has taught film studies at the Universities of Bristol and Reading, and at King's College London.

    'This remarkable collection of articles focusses on one of the most prominent and internationally renowned French directors seen through the lens of academics and researchers. A must-read for filmgoers as well as researchers who want to discover or rediscover Michel Gondry's inventive and very distinctive visual style as well as the mesmerizing universe he creates.' Michael Abecassis, University of Oxford The acclaimed French auteur behind the mind-bending modern classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Michel Gondry has directed a number of innovative, ground-breaking films and documentaries, episodes of the acclaimed television show Kidding and some of the most influential music videos in the history of the medium. In this collection, a range of international scholars offers a comprehensive study of this significant and influential figure, covering his French- and English-language films and videos, and framing Gondry as a transnational auteur whose work provides insight into both French/European and American cinematic and cultural identity. With detailed case studies of films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep (2006), Microbe & Gasoline (2015) and Mood Indigo (2013), this collection appeals to readers interested in the various media in which Gondry has worked, and in contemporary post-modern French and American cinema in general. Marcelline Block is a graduate of Harvard and Princeton Universities and has written numerous books and articles on French and francophone cinema, literature, music and visual art, including French Cinema in Close-up: La vie d'un acteur pour moi (2015), which was named a Best Reference Book of 2015 by Library Journal. Jennifer Kirby received her PhD in Media, Film and Television from the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2018 and is currently a Senior Tutor in Media Studies at Massey University.

    - Hermeneutics, Aesthetics and Gadamer
    av Nicholas Davey
    1 187

    Hans-Georg Gadamer's poetics completely overturns the European aesthetic tradition. By concentrating on the experience of meaning, Unfinished Worlds shows how Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics transforms aesthetics into a mode of attentive practice. It has deep implications for all of the humanities, and how we can understand the meaning of poetry, art, literature, history and theology. His emphasis on participation promises an approach that will revolutionise aesthetic and hermeneutic practice, and gives us new ways to think about the cultural productivity and social legitimacy of the humanities.

    The first reference book on First World War newspapers and magazines from the home front to the front lines While literary scholars and historians often draw on the press as a source of information, First World War periodicals have rarely been studied as cultural artefacts in their own right. However, as this volume shows, the press not only played a vital role in the conflict, but also underwent significant changes due to the war. This Companion brings together leading and emerging scholars from various fields to reassess the role and function of the periodical press during the so-called 'Greater War'. It pays specific attention to the global aspects of the war, as well as to different types of periodicals that existed during the conflict, ranging from trench, hospital and camp journals to popular newspapers, children's magazines and avant-garde journals in various national and cultural contexts. Marysa Demoor is Professor Emerita at Ghent University. She is the author of A Cross-Cultural History of Britain and Belgium, 1815-1918 Mudscapes and Artistic Entanglements (2022) and of Their Fair Share: Women, Power and Criticism in the Athenaeum, 1870-1920 (2000). With Ingo Berensmeyer and Gert Buelens she co-edited the Cambridge Handbook to Literary Authorship (2019) and with Laurel Brake she edited The Lure of Illustration in the Nineteenth Century (2009) and the Dictionary of 19C Journalism (2009). Cedric Van Dijck is a postdoctoral fellow in English Literature at Ghent University. He is the author of the forthcoming Modernism, Material Culture and the First World War (Edinburgh University Press). Birgit Van Puymbroeck is Lecturer in the Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. She is the author of Modernist Literature and European Identity (2020).
