Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina. Jordan played college basketball at the University of North Carolina, where he won a national championship in 1982. He then entered the NBA draft in 1984 and was drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls. Jordan quickly established himself as a dominant force in the NBA, winning Rookie of the Year in his first season. He would go on to lead the Bulls to six NBA championships, winning five Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards along the way. Jordan retired from basketball three times, but each time he would return to the court and continue to dazzle fans with his skills.

Joseph Cornell Versus Cinema
Joseph Cornell is one of the most significant American artists of the twentieth century. His work is highly visible in the the world's most prestigious galleries, including the Tate Modern and MOMA. His famous boxes and his collage work have been admired and widely studied. However, Cornell also produced an extraordinary body of film work, a serious contribution to 20th-century avant-garde cinema, and this has been much less examined. In this book, Michael Piggott makes the case for the significance of Joseph Cornell's films. This is an important contribution to our knowledge of twentieth century culture for scholars and students of film and art history and American studies and for all those interested in pop culture, celebrity and fandom.
Literary Intermediality
The increasing transfer of literary texts and of related writing/reading processes from the printed page to analog and digital media (and vice versa) is the phenomenon under investigation in this book, for which the term 'literary intermediality' has been coined. Literature is 'in transit', i.e. travelling incessantly through mass-media, personal-media, and the internet, with crucial effects both on the ways it is perceived by younger generations of users and on the ways it is devised by contemporary authors. The literary text far from being restricted to printed media keeps moving across the whole media circuit, thus acquiring at any stage a new, temporary identity. Based on the seminar «Intermediality and Literary Practices» at the 7th ESSE Conference in 2004, the essays of this collection by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic focus on the seminar's common topics - cinema, theatre, postmodernism, and new critical issues.
