Music for Silent Film
Between 1895 and 1929, more than 15,000 motion pictures were made in the United States. We call these works “silent films,” but they were accompanied by an enormous body of music, including works adapted or arranged from pre-existing works, as well as newly composed pieces for theater orchestras, organists, or pianists. While many films and pieces are lost, a considerable amount of material remains extant and available for use in research and performance. Music for Silent Film: A Guide to North American Resources is a unique resource on North American archives and English-language materials available in for those interested in this repertoire. Part I contains information about archives of primary source materials including full and compiled scores, sheet music, published anthologies of music, interviews with cinema musicians, periodicals, and instruction books. Part II surveys the English-language scholarship on silent film music in articles, book chapters, essay collections, and monographs through 2015. The book is fully indexed for ease of access to these important sources on film music.
Ben-Hur
Ben-Hur was the first literary blockbuster to generate multiple and hugely profitable adaptations, highlighted by the 1959 film that won a record-setting 11 Oscars. General Lew Wallace's book was spun off into dozens of popular publications and media productions, becoming a veritable commercial brand name that earned tens of millions of dollars. Ben-Hur: The Original Blockbuster surveys the Ben-Hur phenomenon's unprecedented range and extraordinary endurance: various editions, spin-off publications, stage productions, movies, comic books, radio plays, and retail products were successfully marketed and sold from the 1880s and throughout the twentieth century. Today Ben-Hur Live is touring Europe and Asia, with a third MGM film in production in Italy.Jon Solomon's new book offers an exciting and detailed study of the Ben-Hur brand, tracking its spectacular journey from Wallace's original novel through to twenty-first century adaptations, and encompassing a wealth of previously unexplored material along the way

A Prescrição das Pretensões Coletivas
Lorena Colnago apresenta uma pesquisa extensa, trafegando por águas agitadas com destemor. A pesquisa parte de uma constatada “lacuna normativa”. A prescrição é matéria mal resolvida, a meio caminho entre o direito material e o direito processual. Portanto, qual a sua natureza jurídica? Por óbvio, essa é uma questão teórica e a decisão não depende da natureza, mas da justificação racional do instituto e de seus efeitos sociais. Caso seja norma processual, as regras aplicáveis são tempus regit actum, valendo apenas para os fatos processuais não ocorridos e consumados; caso seja de direito material, em casos como o direito sancionador (especialmente o penal), poderá a pre...
