Daniel Gutierrez on Mindfulness
We live in a world that is constantly trying to get our attention, thus making it ever so difficult to stay in the present moment. Studies show that 83 percent of us are stressed out and unable to cope with the surrounding world. Many companies today are beginning to understand that a mindful workplace is a productive workplace. The reason you can't be mindful is because there's so much going on in your brain. All it takes is allowing yourself to slow down, to become aware of your surroundings, and to be present in the moment. Mindfulness means knowing how to be at peace with yourself and seeking out the silence within you. When you do that, a new world opens up. This book will teach you why living in the "now" allows you to get ahead in life and be successful. Daniel Gutierrez reveals some of the most empowering ways to live mindfully, let go of fear, and follow your heart. Daniel Gutierrez on Mindfulness is part of the THiNKaha series, whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out AhaMessages.

Aesthetics, Ethics and Trauma in the Cinema of Pedro Almodovar
A new critical and theoretical approach to a neglected aspect of Pedro AlmodAvars cinemaOne of Spains most celebrated directors, Pedro AlmodAvar has won international recognition for his dark comedy-dramas like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother and Volver. Reconceptualising AlmodAvars films as theoretical and political resources, this innovative book examines a neglected aspect of his cinema: its engagement with the traumatic past, with subjective and collective memory, and with the ethical and political meanings that result from this engagement. With close readings of AlmodAvars films from the 1990s and 2000s, including Bad Education and The Skin I Live In, Juli...
Queering Buñuel
As the father of cinematic Surrealism, extensive critical attention has been devoted to Luis Bunuel's cinema. Much has been written about his first Surrealist films of the 1920s and 1930s and the French art movies of the 1960s and 1970s. However, here for the first time is a queer re-reading of Bunuel's Spanish-language films allowing us to view Bunuel's cinema through a lens of queer spectatorship. Focusing on the films Bunuel produced in Mexico and Spain during the 1950s and 1960s, Julian Daniel Gutierrez-Albilla argues not that Bunuel's films have a homosexual subplot, but that there are multiple forms of identity, subjectivity and sexuality present in these films."Queering Bunuel" brings together the fields of film studies, feminist and queer theory, Hispanic studies, psychoanalysis and art theory. Gutierrez-Albilla succeeds in reconceptualizing Bunuel's Mexican and Spanish films beyond geographical, historical and disciplinary boundaries, questioning not just how we see Bunuel, but also how we see cinema.

Hispanic and Lusophone Women Filmmakers
L'âediteur indique: "This volume examines the films of Hispanic and Lusophone women filmmakers from the 1930s to the present. This edited collection establishes productive connections between film practices across these geographical areas by identifying common areas of concern on the part of these female filmmakers. The volume focuses on the aesthetic, theoretical and socio-historical analyses to question the gender and sexual politics in an emerging number of films made by women in Portugal, Spain, Latin America and the US. With a combination of emerging and internationally renowned scholars from the UK, the US, Spain and Latin America, the volume documents and interprets a fascinating corpus of films made by Hispanic and Lusophone women and proposes research strategies and methodologies that can expand our understanding of socio-cultural and psychic constructions of gender and sexual politics. An essential resource to rethink notions of gender identity, memory and subjectivity, the volume is a unique contribution to Spanish and Latin American Film Studies and Film Studies."
