What does it mean to make films in Latin America? The landscape today is as complex as it is dynamic. New directors and new projects are constantly emerging; film festivals appear one after another in what could only be described as an explosion of cinema in the region. And yet inherent to this panorama, both so vital and so difficult to define, there is a troubling sense of uncertainty. This book, which brings together the writing of directors, producers, scholars and critics, examines the current state of Latin American cinema. Exploring tendencies and possibilities for the future of the audiovisual arts within the context of recent changes in methods of production and circulation, the aut...
La rilettura di uno dei capolavori del teatro eduardiano ha dato l’occasione per delle considerazioni sulle tecniche messe in campo dal traduttore per trasferire senza troppi sconvolgimenti e “tradimenti” un testo da un ambito culturale a un altro. Il presepe come luogo della ricomposizione del mal di vivere dell’uomo contemporaneo nello svolgersi degli eventi crolla, risorge per poi dilatarsi in una dimensione cosmica. Dal Vesuvio alla steppa testimonia, tra l’altro, il profondo apprezzamento che da sempre il pubblico russo ha tributato al teatro italiano, sia esso in lingua che in dialetto.
¿Qué es el cine clásico? No trataremos aquí de establecer algunos "clásicos del cine" o de discutir un canon. Lo que este libro busca es interrogar ciertas formas, estilos y funciones que suelen, en el cine, considerarse clásicas, y que poseen una trayectoria por lo menos atípica. Mientras otras artes delineaban sus percepciones de lo moderno, el cine estabilizó, y a escala planetaria, ciertos modos de mostrar y narrar durante varias décadas. No pocos vieron en ello formas de un clasicismo iniciado por realizadores como David W. Griffith y mantenido hasta el presente en otros como Clint Eastwood, mientras que en su apogeo eran sostenidos y recreados por cineastas tan dispares como F...

Preface by LEIGH EDUARDO, British poet and musician. I have never met Albert Russo and yet, through his writing, I feel I have had that privilege. He possesses that rare and enviable talent of being able to say what is important in a very few words. His contributions to the literary world are amazingly varied, reminding one of an intellectual butterfly - able to flit from one topic to another, but having first drained it of its essential qualities. Russo writes at all levels - a compulsive creator who is always going to have something important, or different, or both, to say. His work reaches into the very soul of contemporary living. Here, one comes to grips with many contemporary problems,...

Motivated by the urban transformations observed in cities that hosted the Olympic Games in the recent years, this article aims to map and analyze the scientific publications that linked mega sporting events to foreign direct investment in different times and realities in order to understand the positive and negative impact that such a conjuncture causes on the business environment with different challenges and opportunities for the companies located in these regions. The authors believe that although the Olympic Games were chosen to represent this study, its results and propositions can be applied to other mega event contexts occurring in either developed or emerging locations.

This book brings together recent research related to urban resilience, in particular, taking into account climate change impacts and hydrological hazards. Due to the complexity of our cities, which are vulnerable and continuously evolving systems, urban resilience should be considered as a transversal and multi-sectorial issue, affecting different urban services, several hazards, and all the steps of the risk management cycle. Within this context, the different pieces of research that form this book deal with the topics of multi-risk and urban resilience assessment, analysis of cascading effects, and the proposal and prioritization of adaptation measures and strategies to cope with climate-related hazards through multi-criteria analysis.
