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notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded.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.

Red Inferno: 1945 : A Novel (9780345506061)

In April 1945, the Allies are charging toward Berlin from the west, the Russians from the east. For Hitler, the situation is hopeless. But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode. To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler. But what if "Uncle Joe" had given in to his desire to possess Germany and all of Europe? In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army. From American soldiers and German civilians trapped in the ruins of Potsdam to U.S. military men fighting behind enemy lines, from a scholarly Russia expert who becomes a secret player in a new war to Stalin's cult of killers in Moscow, this saga captures the human face of international conflict. With the Soviets vastly outnumbering the Americans--but undercut by chronic fuel ...
