The Lives of Others
This study offers a fresh approach to the remarkable German film The Lives of Others (2006), known for its compelling representation of a Stasi surveillance officer and the moral and ethical turmoil that results when he begins spying on a playwright and his actress lover. Annie Ring analyses the film's cinematography, mise-en-scène and editing, tracing connections with Hollywood movies such as Casablanca and Hitchcock's Torn Curtain in the film's portrayal of an individual rebelling against a brutal dehumanising regime. Drawing on archival sources, including primary research from the Stasi files themselves, as well as Enlightenment philosophies of art and Brecht's theories on theatre dating...
After the Stasi
Why did so many citizens of the GDR agree to collaborate with the Stasi? Reading works of literature since German unification in the light of previously unseen files from the archives of the Stasi, After the Stasi uncovers how writers to the present day have explored collaboration as a challenge to the sovereignty of subjectivity. Annie Ring here interweaves close analysis of literary fiction and life-writing by former Stasi spies and victims with documents from the archive, new readings from literary modernism and cultural theories of the self. In its pursuit of the strange power of the Stasi, the book introduces an archetypal character in the writing of German unification: one who is not s...

The Idi-Odyssey
ACTUALLY, I COULD ORDAIN YOU RIGHT NOW IF YOU LIKE. THOSE WORDS PRESENTED NEWLY BLONDE, NON-RELIGIOUS ME WITH AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY SHAPE THE IDIOCY OF THE YEARS TO FOLLOW. In the United States over the last ten years, twenty-three million couples have married. The Idi-Odyssey is the story of my random journey through .000003% of those weddings. The story begins with an unplanned ordination in Lake Tahoe by Yukon Dave, a white-water rafting guide/minister. A myriad of ridiculous weddings situations and relationships followed, ultimately leading to the Year of the Wedding during which my younger brother Russ married the same woman three times in the same year. Not to be completely outdone by the marital gymnastics, I secretly married my girlfriend to keep her in the country a week after Russ' first wedding; and despite my father's counseling, Don't feel any pressure to get married just because your younger brother did. Along the way, there's also the Nantucket whale penis, the great gift wars of 1999, the Idiotarod, the weddings I officiated and much, much more.
The Ring in the Attic
It has been several years since Annie Dawson inherited Grey Gables, her Victorian-era home in Stony Point, Maine, from her grandmother, Elizabeth Holden. In those years she has been taken on many adventures that started in the labyrinth of her attic. Those mysteries have often put her in danger as she has sought to solve them, usually with the help of her best friend, Alice MacFarlane, and the rest of her handcrafting amateur sleuths in Stony Point's Hook and Needle Club. But the discovery of a priceless ring in the attic takes Annie to the brink of physical, emotional, and spiritual breakdown. Her beloved husband, Wayne, had died nearly five years earlier, and that was followed by the death of her beloved "Gram." The two events led her to Stony Point. Now one crisis after another seems to be tearing Annie away from her new home, her friends, and even the new love of her life, Stony Point's handsome, dynamic mayor. Where will it all lead? To a new start? Or does fate hold some other plans for Annie? The answers seem to be almost mystically tied to the mysterious, beautiful band, as Annie and her friends try to find its legitimate owner. (The final book in the series.)
Rings and Things and a Fine Array of Twentieth Century Associative Algebra
This book surveys more than 125 years of aspects of associative algebras, especially ring and module theory. It is the first to probe so extensively such a wealth of historical development. Moreover, the author brings the reader up to date, in particular through his report on the subject in the second half of the twentieth century. Included in the book are certain categorical properties from theorems of Frobenius and Stickelberger on the primary decomposition of finite Abeliangroups; Hilbert's basis theorem and his Nullstellensatz, including the modern formulations of the latter by Krull, Goldman, and others; Maschke's theorem on the representation theory of finite groups over a field; and t...
Uncertain Archives
Scholars from a range of disciplines interrogate terms relevant to critical studies of big data, from abuse and aggregate to visualization and vulnerability. This pathbreaking work offers an interdisciplinary perspective on big data, interrogating key terms. Scholars from a range of disciplines interrogate concepts relevant to critical studies of big data--arranged glossary style, from from abuse and aggregate to visualization and vulnerability--both challenging conventional usage of such often-used terms as prediction and objectivity and introducing such unfamiliar ones as overfitting and copynorm. The contributors include both leading researchers, including N. Katherine Hayles, Johanna Drucker and Lisa Gitelman, and such emerging agenda-setting scholars as Safiya Noble, Sarah T. Roberts and Nicole Starosielski.
