The book title is also a nod to Felix Somary, the banker, social thinker, diplomat and relentless advocate for the integrity of currencies as key to democratic survival¿a man known as ¿The Raven of Zurich¿¿for his dire but accurate predictions of the future.

Performing Silence in World Cinemas considers the place of cinematic silence in the narrative construction of contemporary, globalized subjectivities and its implications in the study of aural and visual cultures. Providing an historical and critical analysis of internationally acclaimed directors like, among others, Ingmar Bergman, Marguerite Duras, Chantal Akerman, Béla Tarr, Pedro Costa, Ousmane Sémbene, Agnés Varda, Reha Erdem, Lisandro Alonso, this volume, for the first time in English, configures a theoretical framework to consider cinematic silence in sound film within a transcultural and transnational perspective. Along with an examination of specific films and contexts, Roberto Cavallini provides a timely examination of silence from a number of methodological perspectives - historical, cultural, philosophical and musical - and provides a framework to understand its aesthetic and epistemic implications for contemporary critical thought and cinema.

At the core of this book is a series of conversations with five British artist Black women who exhibited in both Lubaina Himid's 1985 The Thin Black Line and 2011 Thin Black Line(s) exhibitions: Sutapa Biswas, Sonia Boyce (OBE), Lubaina Himid (MBE, Turner Prize nominee), Claudette Johnson and Ingrid Pollard. The conversations explore their memories of art education and early careers, their experiences in the Black Arts Movement of the 1980s, and their responses to the exhibition Thin Black Line(s) at Tate Britain in 2011, a quarter of a century after the original installation at the ICA in 1985, to reflect upon the issues of race and gender over that period in terms of how Black artist women have collaborated, made art, organized and conversed despite the failure of the British art institutions to sustain, conserve and study their work. Specifically avoiding the classic form of the artist interview, this book draws on a methodology not used in art history before: Constructivist Grounded Theory, which arrives at new theories of how individuals experience the world and act in it through analysing discourse generated in informal but structured conversation that seeks to discover new knowledge, rather than to impose existing theoretical models or concepts on experience as delivered in speech. Voices of Art, Belonging and Resistance is an analysis of the structural racism of British art institutions as experienced by Black subjects, and it also inflects that larger issue specifically with issues of gender and sexuality. Avoiding the now much abused concept of intersectionality, the method allows the intricacies of race, class, gender and sexuality to be in play at all times across the accounts of life experience as artists of the subjects being interviewed and the analysis of the discourse thus generated and art historically and culturally analysed.

Weaves the transience of suburbia between the highs and lows of a family saga. . . Shocks, awes, and delights." -Bryan Washington, author of MemorialFrom the outside, the Chengs seem like so-called model immigrants.

How can a man make peace with the terrors of his past? How can a child regain trust in unconditional love? How can a family stop burying its history and forge a way through it, to a more honest intimacy?Nights When Nothing Happened is gripping storytelling immersed in the crosscurrents that have reshaped the American landscape, from a prodigious new literary talent.

Examining Power Rangers, the long-running but frequently-maligned intellectual property, by treating it seriously and on its own terms, Ranger Reboot considers how forms of mediated nostalgia respond to, and are shaped by, such production-located issues as public service and/or commercial outlooks, scheduling decisions and target audience. The study argues in favor of rejecting a primarily sociological understanding of mediated forms of nostalgia, which would account for these by linking them to perceived periods of anxiety and crisis, by instead foregrounding how production-based concerns impact upon individual constructions of nostalgia. By addressing these issues, the chapters highlight how forms of nostalgia address multiple overlapping, and frequently contradictory, audience profiles. This introduces the neologism 'glacial transmedia', arguing that greater attention should be paid towards the temporality of industrial strategies for transmedia development by analysing the relationship between the Power Rangers on television and its main licensee (and later owner), the toy manufacturer Hasbro.

Michael of Ephesus' commentary on Aristotle's On the Generation of Animals is the earliest surviving, and perhaps first, commentary on this foundational zoological treatise. Composed in the 12th century as part of the Aristotelian revival which took place under the patronage of Constantinople's Anna Comnena, this commentary represents the state of the art of Byzantine and ancient scholarship on the philosophical questions concerning the origins and development of life. Translated here for the first time into a modern language, Michael's commentary on Books I-II of Aristotle's On the Generation of Animals focuses on Aristotle's core philosophical commitments concerning animal generation: the parts of animals responsible for reproduction, the contributions of males and females, the role of nature and the divine, the creation of different kinds of soul, and the stages of embryonic development. Throughout the commentary, Michael offers unique and insightful readings of Aristotle's text and records the opinions of his predecessors and contemporaries on questions of biology. The treatise is vital reading for those studying Aristotle's biology as well as the Byzantine renaissance of biological inquiry.
