Описание: The first book-length examination of the award-winning author of poetry and fiction firmly rooted in AppalachiaSince his dramatic appearance on the southern literary stage with his debut novel, One Foot in Eden, Ron Rash has continued a prolific outpouring of award-winning poetry and fiction. His status as a regular on the New York Times Best Sellers list, coupled with his impressive critical acclaim—including two O. Henry Awards and the Frank O’Connor Award for Best International Short Fiction— attests to both his wide readership and his brilliance as a literary craftsman. In Summoning the Dead, editors Randall Wilhelm and Zackary Vernon have assembled the first book-length collection of scholarship on Ron Rash. The volume features the work of respected scholars in southern and Appalachian studies, providing a disparate but related constellation of interdisciplinary approaches to Rash’s fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.The editors contend that Rash’s work is increasingly relevant and important on regional, national, and global levels in part because of its popular and scholarly appeal and also its invaluable social critiques and celebrations, thus warranting academic attention. Wilhelm and Vernon argue that studying Rash is important because he encourages readers and critics alike to understand Appalachia in all its complexity and he consistently provides portrayals of the region that reveal both the beauty of its cultures and landscapes as well as the social and environmental pathologies that it continues to face.The landscapes, peoples, and cultures that emerge in Rash’s work represent and respond to not only Appalachia or the South, but also to national and global cultures. Firmly rooted in the mountain South, Rash’s artistic vision weaves the truths of the human condition and the perils of the human heart in a poetic language that speaks deeply to us all. Through these essays, offering a range of critical and theoretical approaches that examine important aspects of Rash’s work, Wilhelm and Vernon create a foundation for the future of Rash studies.Robert Morgan, Kappa Alpha Professor of English at Cornell University and author of fourteen books of poetry and nine volumes of fiction including the New York Times bestselling novel Gap Creek, provides a foreword.

Описание: Cinematic Flashes challenges popular notions of a uniform Hollywood style by disclosing uncanny networks of incongruities, coincidences, and contingencies at the margins of the cinematic frame. In an agile demonstration of "cinephiliac" historiography, Rashna Wadia Richards extracts intriguing film fragments from their seemingly ordinary narratives in order to explore what these unexpected moments reveal about the studio era. Inspired by Walter Benjamin's preference for studying cultural fragments rather than composing grand narratives, this unorthodox history of the films of the studio system reveals how classical Hollywood emerges as a disjointed network of accidents, excesses, and coincidences.

Описание: Following the 2008 Financial Crisis, news broke that big banks in the US were collecting hundreds of billions of dollars from non-profit parties. These enormous sums represented annual settlement and termination payments for bilateral contracts known as Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs). Starting in the late 1990s, big banks targeted non-profits for massive sales of all types of such contracts. Non-profits ended up being perennial losers, eventually owing enormous sums of money to the banks for nothing received.The effects of such monetary transfers have been disastrous -- money-strapped non-profits had to dismiss schoolteachers, shut off water supply to thousands of poor households and downsize many other essential public services. For example, over 108 public school districts and 105 government agencies in the state of Pennsylvania suffered massive losses because of dealing in IRSs. Local and state governments, universities, hospitals and transit authorities from New York to San Francisco have been and are among the largest hit. Moreover, about 500 hospitals ranging from charity to large healthcare centers became victims of bank-generated swap contracts. Members of the Service Employee International Union identified the curse of IRS payments to big banks as being 'Money for Nothing.'This book discusses selective cases of the costly undertaking of many, many non-profits whose officials were not informed that an IRS contract has only one winner, and that big banks had no intention of being the losers. The author lends support that, curiously, officials of non-profits relied heavily on the banks' self-serving representations with respect to IRS contracts. There is no evidence that any of these officials, and their advisors, fully understood the complexities, terms and nuances of IRS contracts offered by big banks. As a result, the contracting parties did not have equal bargaining power. Therefore, should not IRS contracts with non-profits be considered unconscionable contracts? Moreover, once an IRS is terminated, the presumed services of hedging, managing risk and betting would terminate. Thus, the huge sums of money big banks had collected for termination, based on the duration from the time of termination to maturity, were taken for services that had not been, and will never be, rendered. Could one then consider these termination payments tantamount to unjust enrichment?
