Nationalism in Contemporary Western European Cinema
This book investigates screen representations of 21st century nationalism—arguably the most urgent and apparent phenomenon in the Western world today. The chapters explore recurrent thematic and stylistic features of 21st century western European cinema, and analyse the ways in which film responds to contemporary developments of mounting tensions and increasing hostilities to difference. The collection blends incisive sociological and historical engagement with close textual analysis of many types of screen media, including popular cinema, art-house productions, low-budget independent work, documentary and video installation. Identifying motifs of nationhood and indigeneity throughout, the contributors of this volume present important perspectives and a timely cultural response to the contemporary moment of nationalism.
The Smugglers' Caves
Jack spends a lot of time in the Hastings caves - who wouldn't if they lived with Beth, stepmum from hell? What kind of hold does sinister Beth have over Jack's dad? Who was Lady Macbeth? Is Beth a modern-day Lady Macbeth with blood on her hands? And why is a frightened little terrier with a bulging stomach led into the caves one evening and dragged out next morning looking very thin? If she's had puppies, where are they now? What is hidden in the secret cavern at the end of the spooky Monks' Walk? These are just a few of the questions Jack and his friends need to find answers to. The Smugglers' Caves is a story full of fun, mystery and suspense, that puts Hastings, with its busloads of foreign students and its eccentric local characters, as firmly on the map today as William the Conqueror did in 1066.
