Translating Time : Cinema, the Fantastic, and Temporal Critique (9780822345107)

Under modernity, time is regarded as linear and measurable by clocks and calendars. Despite the historicity of clock-time itself, the modern concept of time is considered universal and culturally neutral. What Walter Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" founds the modern notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded. In Translating Time, Bliss Cua Lim argues that fantastic cinema depicts the coexistence of other modes of being alongside and within the modern present, disclosing multiple "immiscible temporalities" that strain against the modern concept of homogeneous time. In this wide-ranging study-encompassing Asian American video (On Cannibalism), ghost films from the New Cinema movements of Hong Kong and the Philippines (Rouge, Itim, Haplos), Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films (Ju-on, The Grudge, A Tale of Two Sisters) and a Filipino horror film cycle on monstrous viscera ...

Arqueología de los animales, la (9788472900578)



Simon J. M. DavisDesde el primer descubrimiento de restos fósiles de animales extinguidos asociados con útiles líticos, los huesos y otros restos animales han aportado una valiosa información a la Arqueología. En el curso de los últimos veinte años los arqueozoólogos han estado colaborando con los arqueólogos y zoólogos en el estudio de los restos «arqueofaunísticos» de los yacimientos y en la reconstrucción histórica y prehistórica. ¿En qué clase de medio ambiente vivían nuestros antepasados? ¿En qué estaciones del año ocuparon determinados yacimientos? ¿Cuándo empezaron a cazar? ¿Qué responsabilidad tuvieron en la extinción de tantas especies de grandes mamíferos hace 10.000-20.000 años? ¿Cuándo, dónde y cómo fueron domesticados los primeros animales? ¿Cuándo empezó el ordeñado? ¿Cuándo se empezó a montar a caballo? ¿Tuvieron los romanos alguna influencia en nuestra alimentación? ¿Qué condiciones sanitarias prevalecían en la Inglaterra medieval? Tales son algunas de las preguntas planteadas y contestadas por Davis en su obra. Ayudándose en una abundantísima iconografía especializada, Davis describe la naturaleza y el desarrollo de los huesos y los dientes, así como los métodos utilizados por el arqueozoólogo. Fruto de sus trabajos de campo y de excavación en Israel, Irán y Chipre, y de sus viajes al Oriente Medio, Europa, el Magreb y América del Norte, el trabajo del profesor Davis representa una guía única de la arqueología de los animales, indispensable para los arqueólogos de todo nivel –profesionales, estudiantes, aficionados.

Ren Hang (9783836562072)

Ren Hang, who took his life February 23, 2017, was an unlikely rebel. Slight of build, shy by nature, prone to fits of depression, the 29-year-old Beijing photographer was nonetheless at the forefront Chinese artists' battle for creative freedom. Like his champion Ai Weiwei, Ren was controversial in his homeland and wildly popular in the rest of the world. He said, "I don't really view my work as taboo, because I don't think so much in cultural context, or political context. I don't intentionally push boundaries, I just do what I do." Why? Because his models, friends, and in his last years, fans, are naked, often outdoors, high in the trees or on the terrifyingly vertiginous rooftops of Beijing, stacked like building blocks, heads wrapped in octopi, body cavities sprouting phone cords and flowers, whatever entered his mind at the moment. He denied his intentions were sexual, and there is a clean detachment about even his most extreme images: the urine, the ...

Cyber Mercenaries : The State, Hackers, and Power (9781107566866)

Cyber Mercenaries explores the secretive relationships between states and hackers. As cyberspace has emerged as the new frontier for geopolitics, states have become entrepreneurial in their sponsorship, deployment, and exploitation of hackers as proxies to project power. Such modern-day mercenaries and privateers can impose significant harm undermining global security, stability, and human rights. These state-hacker relationships therefore raise important questions about the control, authority, and use of offensive cyber capabilities. While different countries pursue different models for their proxy relationships, they face the common challenge of balancing the benefits of these relationships with their costs and the potential risks of escalation. This book examines case studies in the United States, Iran, Syria, Russia, and China for the purpose of establishing a framework to better understand and manage the impact and risks of cyber proxies on global politics. ...

RoomHate (9781523662449)

RoomHate: The #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel. Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right? Not when it's Justin...the only person I'd ever loved...who now hates me. When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago. The same teenager who's now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match. I hadn't seen him in years, and now we're living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house. The worst part? He didn't come alone. I'd soon realize there's a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all...the boy is still there. So is our connection. The problem is...now that I can't have ...
