Bringing together the human story of care with its representation in film, fiction and memoir, this book combines an analysis of care narratives to inform and inspire ideas about this major role in life. Alongside analysis of narratives drawn from literature and film, the author sensitively interweaves the story of his wife's illness and care to illuminate perspectives on dealing with human decline. Examining texts from a diverse range of authors such as Leo Tolstoy, Edith Wharton and Alice Munro, and filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, it addresses questions such as why caregiving is a dangerous activity, the ethical problems of writing about caregiving, the challenges of reading about caregiving, and why caregiving is so important. It serves as a fire starter on the subject of how we can gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of caregiving through the creative arts.

In zwölf Aufsätzen analysieren sie wichtige Fragen der (regionalen) Erinnerungskultur: Welche neuen Umgangsweisen haben sich etabliert durch multimediale Angebote wie die App zu Erinnerungsorten in Reutlingen oder durch neue didaktische Konzepte wie die Tübinger Jugendguides? Was hat es mit den privaten Gedenkzeremonien in israelischen Wohnzimmern auf sich? Welche Funktion haben Gästebücher für das emotionale Erleben von Gedenkstätten? Und wie verändern die Sozialen Medien unseren Blick auf die Orte der NS-Verbrechen?
Assesses how cinematic biographies of key figures reflect and shape what it means to be British. Rule, Britannia! surveys the British biopic, a genre crucial to understanding how national cinema engages with the collective experience and values of its intended audience.

The contributors engage with the vexed concept of British nationality, especially as this sense of collective belonging is pr...
