Описание: Iranian filmmakers have long been recognised for creating a vibrant, aesthetically rich cinema whilst working under strict state censorship regulations. As Michelle Langford reveals, many have found indirect, allegorical ways of expressing forbidden topics and issues in their films. But for many, allegory is much more than a foil against haphazardly applied censorship rules. Drawing on a long history of allegorical expression in Persian poetry and the arts, allegory has become an integral part of the poetics of Iranian cinema. Allegory in Iranian Cinema explores the allegorical aesthetics of Iranian cinema, explaining how it has emerged from deep cultural traditions and how it functions as a strategy for both supporting and resisting dominant ideology. As well as tracing the roots of allegory in Iranian cinema before and after the 1979 revolution, Langford also theorizes this cinematic mode. She draws on a range of cinematic, philosophical and cultural concepts - developed by thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Gilles Deleuze, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Christian Metz and Vivian Sobchack - to provide a theoretical framework for detailed analyses of films by renowned directors of the pre-and post-revolutionary eras including Masoud Kimiai, Dariush Mehrjui, Ebrahim Golestan, Kamran Shirdel, Majid Majidi, Jafar Panahi, Marziyeh Meshkini, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad and Asghar Farhadi.Allegory in Iranian Cinema explains how a centuries-old means of expression, interpretation, encoding and decoding becomes, in the hands of Iran’s most skilled cineastes, a powerful tool with which to critique and challenge social and cultural norms.

Описание:

Two stories. Two individuals. One journey. One destiny.

Caught Between Love and Loss

Richard's dream is to get out of the city and build a house in the country. When he meets Rachel, there's suddenly a reason to stay. Can he convince her to live amongst the beauty of nature? Rachel takes her first step towards this new life, still uncertain of how she feels, until Richard is diagnosed with cancer. Fate has a way of intervening in all our plans. Are we bound by destiny, or is the future unwritten?

A Refugee's Rage

Unsightly. Unwanted. Under the radar. Surviving, any way he can. A teenage boy lives in a park in Central Rome. He's not the only one. There are other homeless foreigners on the streets and many of them are young. Yet an encounter with a Syrian girl will have a powerful impact on his tumultuous life. They are still only two halves of nothing, yet their union will alter both of their lives forever.

Описание: Sometimes she refers to her life on the west coast as a house burning down; sometimes she refers to herself as a ghost, lingering on the island...Diary of a Langford Girl is an evocative recollection of life in a small town on the southern tip of Vancouver Island; rife with mischief and magic, childhood memories and odd perceptions, the beautiful mess of young love, and the wrench of loss when thrust across the country as a teenager. A powerful voice unhinged, pairing the angst and euphoria of coming of age, with the exquisite melancholy of nostalgia. This no-holds-barred collection of poems and narratives reveal a haunting tie to the island, and the emotional fracture of leaving it behind at a young age. A dark, sardonic, and at times, startling glimpse of relationships, family dynamics and foolish shenanigans, contrasted by the softness of romanticism, humour, contemplations and ruminations, inviting the reader into the heart of one woman's endless journey home.

Описание:

A volume written as homage to Arthur C. Clarke's Tales from the White Hart, featuring original stories from many of today's top genre writers, including Neil Gaiman, Charles Stross, Stephen Baxter, James Lovegrove, Liz Williams, Adam Roberts, Eric Brown, Ian Watson, and David Langford.

The Fountain: a traditional London pub situated in Holborn, just off Chancery Lane, where Michael, the landlord, serves excellent real ales and dodgy ploughman's, ably assisted by barmaids Sally and Bogna.

The Fountain, in whose Paradise bar a group of friends - scientists, writers and genre fans - meet regularly on a Tuesday night to swap anecdotes, reveal wondrous events from their past, tell tall tales, talk of classified invention and, maybe, just maybe, save the world...
