Описание: Over the last two decades, fatness has become the focus of ubiquitous negative rhetoric, in the USA and beyond, presented under the cover of the medicalized ‘‘war against the obesity epidemic’’. In Fat on Film , Barbara Plotz provides a critical analysis of the cinematic representation of fatness during this timeframe, specifically in contemporary Hollywood cinema, with an emphasis on the intersection of gender, race and fatness. The analysis is based on around 50 films released since 2000 and includes examples such as Transformers (2007), Precious (2009), Kung Fu Panda (2008), Paul Blart (2009) and Pitch Perfect (2012).Plotz maps the common cinematic tropes of fatness and also shows how commonplace notions of fatness that are part of the current ‘‘obesity epidemic’’ discourse are reflected in these tropes. In this original study, Plotz brings critical attention to the politics of fat representation, a topic that has so far received little attention within film and cinema studies.

Описание: From Plotzk to Boston is an 1899 memoir by author and immigration activist Mary Antin (1881-1949). It chronicles her emigration from her hometown of Polotsk in the Russian Empire (now modern Belarus) to the United States in 1894, focusing primarily on her observations of life in unfamiliar surroundings, the emotional trials endured by her family, and the hardships that accompanied their passage to and eventual settlement in Boston, Massachusetts. Her first major publication, it laid the groundwork for her later autobiography and most famous work, The Promised Land (1912). Compiled from a series of letters that Antin wrote to her uncle describing her family's journey to America in 1894, From Plotzk to Boston was inspired by the difficulties that compelled them to leave their homeland as well as Antin's own literary upbringing.

Описание: 'Tar' tells the story of professor Gallardo, who made a name for himself in the United States because of his Maya excavations in Guatemala. The combination of teaching at Berkeley University and working at the La Brea tar pits leaves him slightly unhappy and he decides to break the routine and embark on a special expedition to an asphalt lake on Trinidad. But something feels wrong when he arrives and he finds out that the water bears a secret. Equipped with a high-tech submersible drone and custom-built rover, while accompanied by a fearless crew of assistants as well as high biology-savvy daughter Zo , he reveals the riches hidden deep down in the lake. However, it turns out to be a rocky road as both unexpected people and advanced technologies turn up to convolute the scene. One of them seems almost otherworldy... When the first victim falls, it is unclear if the team, backed by a powerful Silicon Valley biotech enterprise, can make a stand against the unknown adversary. But even less clear is where the deepest secret actually resides - in the lake, with the enigmatic Zo , within Zarcon corporation, with the locals or with the professor himself? ___ Jahn-S ren Plotz is a Danish-German author with a background in technology and design. He creates a diverse cast of characters who embark on complex adventures in uniquely portrayed urban and natural landscapes of the future. His stories are true page turners; quick and intense yet not without depth or relevance. 'Tar' is Plotz' debut novel and a techno-thriller to be reckoned with.
