Arctic Promise

Arctic Promise

In Canada's Eastern Arctic and Greenland, the Inuit have been the majority for centuries. In recent years, they have been given a promise from Canadian and Danish governments that offers them more responsibility for their lands and thus control over their lives without fear of being outnumbered by outsiders. The Arctic Promise looks at how much the Inuit vision of self-governance relates to the existing public governance systems of Greenland and Nunavut, and how much autonomy there can be for territories that remain subordinate units of larger states. By means of a bottom-up approach involving cultural immersion, contextual, jurisprudential, and historical legal comparisons of Greenland and ...

Polly Platt

This book examines the career and creative labour of production designer Polly Platt. It focuses mainly on her contributions to 1970s Hollywood, but also considers her later work. Considering films such as The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, The Bad News Bears, and The Witches of Eastwick, it argues that Platt’s construction of their visual palette and mise-en-scène was so creative and so comprehensive that it can be considered authorial. Chapters discuss Platt’s life and its influence on her work, her attention to detail, her role in location decisions and costume design, and her use of colour. An epilogue discusses her later career as a producer and her mentorship to young filmmakers like Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. This is the first full-length examination of the career of one of the women practitioners whose work was so important to 1970s cinema, and provides an alternative methodology to the auteur-driven framing that so regularly defines the era.

Piraten, Freibeuter, Buccaniere - sie schäumten die Meere und tun es wohl auch immer noch, wenn auch die heutigen Vertreter dieses Seewerks nicht so sehr unseren Sinn für Romantik und Abenteuer erregen, wie es etwa Klaus Störtebeker und Konsorten taten und tun. Doch wer meint, dass die Seeräuberei eine rein männliche Domäne , irrt, es gab einige sehr erfolgreiche Frauen in diesem Beruf, wie etwa Grace O'Malley. Ihr irischer Landsmann David Slattery geht sogar so weit zu erklären, seiner Meinung nach sei die Piraterie ein Frauenberuf. Weshalb er uns in seiner Geschichte mit einer Piratenkönigin bekannt macht, und sie ist wahrlich nicht die einzige in unserer Sammlung. In dieser Anthologie finden sich sowohl Geschichten, die der klassischen Vorstellung der Seeräuberei entsprechen, als auch solche, die von Piratinnen und Piraten im übertragenen Sinne handeln.
