Cinematic Women, From Objecthood to Heroism: Essays on Female Gender Representation on Western Screens and in TV Productions
Women have fulfilled film roles that exhibit their historically subservient or sexualised positions in society, among others. Over the decades, the gender identity of women has fluctuated to include powerful women, emotionally strong women, lesbian women, and even neurologically atypical women. These identities reflect the change in societal norms and what is now acknowledged as more likely and more mainstream. The evolution of society’s views of women can be mapped through these roles; from 1950’s America where women were depicted as the counterpart to male characters and their masculinity either as a threat or support to the patriarchal norms; to more recent times, where these norms ha...
Gender-induzierte Proxemik in Patty Jenkins "Wonder Woman". Der "Male Gaze" im "female" Film?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich Filmwissenschaft, Note: 1,3, Universität des Saarlandes (Lehrstuhl für Neuere Deutsche Literatur- und Medienwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Einführungsseminar Filmwissenschaften, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit wird die vermeintlich feministische Inszenierung einer "Wonder Woman" im Jahr 2017 auf der Leinwand in Frage gestellt. Warum dies durchaus so gesehen werden kann, wird zuerst in Kapitel 2 zur Filmkonzeption dargelegt. Anschließend soll in Kapitel 3 auf die Proxemik der Figur "Wonder Woman" und auch zum Teil "Steve Trevor" eingegangen werden, da jene, im Film mit Kameraperspektive und -sicht arbeitend, ein gender-camoufliertes Zerrbild evoziert, das die gender-theoretische Filmkonzeption an manchen Stellen tarnt, an anderen wiederum den "male gaze" erst gar nicht verbergen möchte. Gezeigt wird das exemplarisch an mehreren Filmszenen.
Europe's Foreign and Security Policy
The emergence of a common security and foreign policy has been one of the most contentious issues accompanying the integration of the European Union. In this book, Michael Smith examines the specific ways foreign policy cooperation has been institutionalized in the EU, the way institutional development affects cooperative outcomes in foreign policy, and how those outcomes lead to new institutional reforms. Smith explains the evolution and performance of the institutional procedures of the EU using a unique analytical framework, supported by extensive empirical evidence drawn from interviews, case studies, official documents and secondary sources. His perceptive and well-informed analysis covers the entire history of EU foreign policy cooperation, from its origins in the late 1960s up to the start of the 2003 constitutional convention. Demonstrating the importance and extent of EU foreign/security policy, the book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and policy-makers.

The Short Stories of Frank Yerby
Frank Yerby’s first novel, The Foxes of Harrow, established him as a writer and launched a forty-nine-year career in which he published thirty-three novels. He also became the first African American writer to sell more than a million copies of his work and to have a book adapted into a movie by a Hollywood studio. He garnered legions of loyal fans of his writing. Yet, few know that Yerby began his writing career with the publication of a short story in his school newspaper in 1936, the first of nine stories he would publish in the 1930s and ’40s. Most stories appeared in small journals and magazines and were largely forgotten once he started writing novels. This groundbreaking collection...

Multi-level Governance
The power and future role of nation states are a topic of increasing importance. The dispersion of authority both vertically to supranational and subnational institutions and horizontally to non-state actors has challenged the structure and capacity of national governments. Multi-level governance has emerged as an important concept for understanding the dynamic relationships between state and non-state actors within territorially overarching networks. Multi-level Governance explores definitions and applications of the concept by drawing on contributions from scholars with different concerns within the broad discipline of Political Studies. It contends that new analytical frameworks that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and epistemological positions are essential for comprehending the changing nature of governance. In this context, this volume undertakes a critical assessment of both the potentialities and the limitations of multi-level governance.
