Juergen Corleis
A must read contributionn on contemporary history. Juergen Corleis (1929 - 2011) was an acclaimed journalist and documantary film maker. Corleis has also been a press photographer and a foreign correspondent for radio and print media. His acclaimed documentary on the horrors of the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen is still shown at the information centre at the camp and has been seen by millions. In his autobiography he reports on his work from Hitler to Howard's end. ""Where better to hide a young German teenager with Jewish heritage from the Nazis during the war than inside a Nazi school?"" "My point of view is: believing in the superiority of your own race, religion, ideology or way of life allows you to treat others inhumanely. I never accepted that the Germans were the master race, or the United States God's own country, or the Jews the chosen people. ""What we observe today is the widespread acceptance of discrimination""
Books Are Made Out of Books
Cormac McCarthy told an interviewer for the New York Times Magazine that "books are made out of books," but he has been famously unwilling to discuss how his own writing draws on the works of other writers. Yet his novels and plays masterfully appropriate and allude to an extensive range of literary works, demonstrating that McCarthy is well aware of literary tradition, respectful of the canon, and deliberately situating himself in a knowing relationship to precursors. The Wittliff Collection at Texas State University acquired McCarthy's literary archive in 2007. In Books Are Made Out of Books, Michael Lynn Crews thoroughly mines the archive to identify nearly 150 writers and thinkers that M...
Hiding Jekyll
"In a world of corruption and greed none are as bad as the infamous Hyde, a man whose only pleasure is the torture and pain of others. But, even the most thoroughly evil can sense a conscience at times and it is Hyde's determined aim to rid himself of his conscience once and for all. However, in his bid to eradicate what remains of his conscience, he inadvertently creates a new conscience, that of Jekyll, the kindest man you'll ever meet." Hiding Jekyll subverts the thematic undertones of the classic novella revealing the fragility of Victorian men's long held notions of power and authority. It's a perverse look at people who actively pursue power through destruction and those who are bound to follow them. Hiding Jekyll delivers a comical blend of dark humour, satire and a little old fashioned slapstick, that will make you rethink the classic tale with a grin.
Icons of Dissent
The global icon is an omnipresent but poorly understood element of mass culture. This book asks why audiences around the world have embraced particular iconic figures, how perceptions of these figures have changed, and what this tells us about transnational relations since the Cold War era. Prestholdt addresses these questions by examining one type of icon: the anti-establishment figure. As symbols that represent sentiments, ideals, or something else recognizable to a wide audience, icons of dissent have been integrated into diverse political and consumer cultures, and global audiences have reinterpreted them over time. To illustrate these points the book examines four of the most evocative ...

The Maintenance Room
NEW AUSTRALIAN PLAY OFFERS HOPE AND TRUST IN THE FACE OF DESPAIR When you're at the precipice... whom can you trust? Sydney is about to see new play about friendship and self-discovery... on the edge. Two strangers who meet atop a tall building must make a leap of faith or embrace their own despair in a new Australian play which makes its debut in Sydney in November 2013. Award winning playwright Gerry Greenland was inspired to write this play after witnessing the devastating effect that loss had on a friend. "People fall into very dark places when they lose faith in themselves, in others and in life itself," Greenland says, "Rational thinking disappears, and existence itself seems pointless. Regaining hope and trust in something, or someone, however small, is the life-raft that can rescue them from disaster.I wanted to write a play that would make audiences laugh, yet still engage them to share that dark journey, and to help them hear in others that hidden cry for a life-raft."
