The Long 1968 in Hungary and Romania
This book advances a local, regional, and comparative analysis of the history of the sixty-eighters from Hungary and Romania between 1956 and 1975. The aim of the book is to answer to the following research question: to what extent does ‘the long 1968’ mark and change protest history? Another axis of my research, equally important, is: how can one genuinely distinguish between a protest, an opposition, and a pastime? Where did radicalisation truly begin, and when was it solely an auto-perception as a dissident? In other words, how can one truly distinguish between a leisure activity like listening to Radio Free Europe or exploring an altered state of consciousness, and an explicit politi...
Postmodern Medievalisms
Studies of texts from the late middle ages to the contemporary moment, together they indicate, broadly, directions both in postmodern studies and studies in medievalism.
Bloodheir
After 1000 years of his reign, Dracula has fallen…and Jesper is his heir. Being Dracula’s heir has always been a joke, as Jesper Degore never thought he’d actually take the throne in his lifetime. But when Dracula finally falls, Jesper takes the throne, and the transition is anything but peaceful. Soon after his ascension, he finds five armies on his doorstep, threatening to take his crown, including the formidable dark elf army. He only has one choice. To take the elven princess as his mate or doom his entire kingdom to war and destruction. Alavara Elroris has known nothing but darkness and control, acting as her father’s puppet in his quest for power. When the elven king sets his sights on Ichor Knell, she has no choice but to obey. But she never suspected to be attracted to the vampire king, drawn to his good looks despite his cold attitude toward her. As they grow closer, she fears for his life. Because she can’t protect him from her father. And she especially can’t protect him from herself.
Close to the Edge
The first half of the 1970s was an especially fertile period for British progressive rock, laying claim to classics such as Tarkus, Selling England by the Pound, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Thick as a Brick. Collectively these and other works represent the best British progressive rock had to offer. Yet, it's Yes's 1972 three-track masterpiece, Close to the Edge, that presents a snapshot of an adventurous rock band at the peak of its powers, daring to push itself musically, both as individuals and as a unit. In this absorbing chronicle, which draws upon dozens of original and archived interviews and features rare photographs and an extensive discography, acclaimed...
Beyond the New Romanian Cinema
“A stellar representative of the New Romanian Cinema, Radu Jude also belongs to a select group of politically-minded East European filmmakers who have taken as their subject the nature of the media and the circulation of images (Vertov and Eisenstein, Dušan Makavejev, the Ukrainian documentari- an Sergei Loznitsa). For that reason, Andrei Gorzo and Veronica Lazăr’s Beyond the New Romanian Cinema: Romanian Culture, History, and the Films of Radu Jude is both welcome and essential.” / J. Hoberman, author of The Red Atlantis: Communist Culture in the Absence of Communism “Beyond the New Romanian Cinema: Romanian Culture, History, and the Films of Radu Jude delivers what it promises in...
