Body Detox
Do you wake up each morning full of vitality and energy, with a feeling of ease at the beginning of a new day? If this sounds unfamiliar, your body may be harboring toxins. Toxins pervade the environment. They are in the food you eat, in the water you drink, in the air you breathe... among many other sources. Increased toxin levels are due to pollution of the environment, chemical detergents in households, and artificial additives in the food supply. The human body is not capable of breaking down or expelling toxins without proper care. As a result, the number of people suffering from allergies or hypersensitivity to various substances is rising. Besides the harmful effects to the body, the ...
Caring for Cultural Studies
This volume pays homage to Monika Seidl, a key figure of cultural studies at the University of Vienna's Department of English and American Studies and spotlights her many achievements in the field. The Festschrift on the occasion of her retirement reflects on cultural studies as a discipline, its history and possible futures, aspects of care as in crisis and as practiced by Monika Seidl, and engages with her academic work in articles of different styles by contributors including Magdalena Berger, Lawrence Grossberg, Sabine Harrer, Roman Horak, Christian Huck, Thomas Kühn, Elisabeth Lechner and Judith Kohlenberger, Barbara Maly-Bowie, Timo Frühwirth and Sandra Mayer, Anette Pankratz, Annegret Pelz, Monika Pietrzak-Franger, Julia Pühringer, Susanne Reichl, Ranthild Salzer and John Storey.

Unwatchable
"We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory-affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to incendiary artworks that provoke mass boycotts, many of the images in our media culture strike as beyond the pale of consumption. Yet what does it mean to proclaim a media object "unwatchable": disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible? Appealing to a broad academic and general readership, Unwatchable offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in our global visual culture, from cinema, television, and video games ...
La sottile trama dell'acqua
Una lontana alluvione, sbiadita nella memoria collettiva. A distanza di anni, un brutale delitto. Intrecci senza scrupoli di droga e prostituzione d'alto bordo. Un piccolo testimone e i poteri oscuri di cui diventa facile bersaglio. Il tutto sullo sfondo di una città, Zagabria, che sembra vivere il suo tranquillo tran-tran quotidiano, ma cela mille torbidi segreti, proprio come la superficie dell'acqua: onnipresente, mutevole acqua, a volte salvifica, altre insidiosa, perfida e persino spietata. La sottile trama dell'acqua, seconda opera della pluripremiata Nada Gašić pubblicata dalla nostra casa editrice, è un incredibile romanzo, un puzzle da capogiro di esistenze e storie tra loro apparentemente diverse e scollegate che l'autrice, mettendo a nudo la natura e la condizione umana, fa abilmente fondere in un unico, perfetto disegno della spesso macabra giostra della vita.

Women, Business and the Law 2021
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
Karloff and the East
Among Golden Age Hollywood film stars of European heritage known for playing characters from the East--Chinese, Southeast Asians, Indians and Middle Easterners--Anglo-Indian actor Boris Karloff had deep roots there. Based on extensive new research, this biography and career study of Karloff's "eastern" films provides a critical examination of 41 features, including many overlooked early roles, and offers fresh perspective on a cinematic luminary so often labeled a "horror icon." Films include The Lightning Raider (1919), 14 silent films from the 1920s, The Unholy Night (1929), The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932), The Mummy (1932), John Ford's The Lost Patrol (1934), the Mr. Wong series (1938-1940), Targets (1968), and Isle of the Snake People (1971), one of six titles released posthumously.
