“Takdir acapkali gelap dan berliku. Namun hadirnya tak pernah keliru. Hati yang membiru dan jiwa yang berjibaku dengan sangka, biaskan skenario paripurna tak kasat mata.” Kisah Berlian memang tak segemilang namanya, namun Berlian tetaplah Berlian bak batu mulia berlian yang semakin ditempa maka nilainya semakin tak terkira. Dari jodoh yang datang, lalu tuduhan tak berdasar hingga kembali memeluk hikmah dan berkah di bulan suci.
Tempo perjalanan hidup manusia terkadang merangkak lambat, tak jarang juga cepat melesat bagai kilat. Itu semua tergantung harmoni dan ritme pikiran, hati, dan jejak langkah yang kita tempa. Saat melodi cinta yang terdengar, tentu bunga-bunga bermekaran dalam taman hati. Demikian pula saat nada menyayat rasa, derai air mata pun berubah menjadi lautan duka. Namun, apapun lagu yang sedang bersenandung dalam panggung hidupmu, tetaplah tersenyu, dan nikmati setiap sensai rasa. Karena alunan musik takdir semesta akan membawamu pada puncak sejatinya jiwa.

This volume brings together new scholarship by Indonesian and non-Indonesian scholars on Indonesia’s cultural history from 1950-1965. During the new nation’s first decade and a half, Indonesia’s links with the world and its sense of nationhood were vigorously negotiated on the cultural front. Indonesia used cultural networks of the time, including those of the Cold War, to announce itself on the world stage. International links, post-colonial aspirations and nationalistic fervour interacted to produce a thriving cultural and intellectual life at home. Essays discuss the exchange of artists, intellectuals, writing and ideas between Indonesia and various countries; the development of cultural networks; and ways these networks interacted with and influenced cultural expression and discourse in Indonesia. With contributions by Keith Foulcher, Liesbeth Dolk, Hairus Salim HS, Tony Day, Budiawan, Maya H.T. Liem, Jennifer Lindsay, Els Bogaerts, Melani Budianta, Choirotun Chisaan, I Nyoman Darma Putra, Barbara Hatley, Marije Plomp, Irawati Durban Ardjo, Rhoma Dwi Aria Yuliantri and Michael Bodden.
Women occupy a privileged place in horror film. Horror is a space of entertainment and excitement, of terror and dread, and one that relishes the complexities that arise when boundaries – of taste, of bodies, of reason – are blurred and dismantled. It is also a site of expression and exploration that leverages the narrative and aesthetic horrors of the reproductive, the maternal and the sexual to expose the underpinnings of the social, political and philosophical othering of women. This book offers an in-depth analysis of women in horror films through an exploration of ‘gynaehorror’: films concerned with all aspects of female reproductive horror, from reproductive and sexual organs, ...

On paper, Kenny Everett's qualifications did not look promising – with little in the way of education, physique or social skills. What he had was a gift for funny voices, an oblique imagination and a way with a tape recorder. Yet, the British radio revolution in the ‘60s and ‘70s needed these exact qualities. Ever a corporate player, Kenny was frequently fired, but still went on to reinvent television. Meanwhile, outside the studios, the challenge to 'get a life' brought moments of ecstasy, frequent bother and at least one suicide attempt. And at the exact moment when tabloid frenzy about the AIDS epidemic reached its peak, he came out. This new biography, based on intricate documentar...
