No Trespassing
In this scholarly yet highly accessible work, Eva Hemmungs Wirtén traces three main themes within the scope of cultural ownership: authorship as one of the basic features of print culture, the use of intellectual property rights as a privileged instrument of control, and finally globalization as a pre-condition under which both operate. Underwritten by rapid technological change and increased global interdependence, intellectual property rights are designed to protect a production that is no longer industrial, but informational. No Trespassing tells the story of a century of profound change in cultural ownership. It begins with late nineteenth-century Europe, exploring cultural ownership in...
Re-examining the Holocaust through Literature
In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
Branded Content and Entertainment in Advertising
In recent years, branded content and entertainment have become standard practice for brands, advertising agencies, and production companies. This volume analyzes branded content through a theoretical and empirical study to examine the factors that have led to exponential growth and the adaptation of creative advertising processes in the creation of branded content. The book debates the suitability and acceptability of branded entertainment as an advertising practice, the different degrees of involvement of the brand in creating content, and the brands' mastery of entertainment. It explores the implications that may underpin the practice and discusses the necessary creative elements involved in their successful execution, as well as the effects it has on consumers and audiences. This insightful book will be a valuable guide for academics and upper-level students across marketing disciplines, including advertising, brand management and communications, as well as screenwriting.

Le grand frère
Quand ils montent tous les deux à Paname, pour des petits larcins, des vols à la tir, des cambriolages, le Grand Frère se met alors à causer. Le plus souvent, il cause de religion, de philosophie, de littérature... Il raconte des histoires auxquelles Rachid ne comprend pas un traître mot, mais de toutes façons, Rachid n’a jamais rien compris au Grand Frère. Il sait juste qu’il a fait la guerre en Tchétchénie et que depuis, ce n’est plus le même homme. Mais Rachid ne pose aucune question. Il préfère écouter. Écouter et apprendre.
Sartre's Sink
For too long DIY books have suffered the neglect of the literary establishment. Finally, here in one volume, are the essential DIY tips of the world's greatest writers. Dostoyevsky tells of a young man employed by an elderly lady to retile her bathroom; Caesar puts up a shelf for his rebellious tribe of adolescenti; the existentialist hero of the Sartre pastiche is both disgusted and nauseated to discover in a blocked sink the revelation of his own condition. We also learn how to repair a dripping tap under Conrad's eyes, replace a window pane with a voyeuristic Milan Kundera, and hang wallpaper under the watchful eye of Mark Twain. Other handy hints include how to: replace a roof tile; remedy a squeaking floor board; remove a carpet stain and bleed a radiator, by writers including Bronte, Shakespeare, Duras, Salinger and Paul Auster. As in the companion book, Kafka's Soup, each piece is illustrated by a famous artist, including da Vinci, Hokusai and Rembrandt.
Bol d'air
En pleine faillite, harcelé par les créanciers et les liquidateurs judiciaires, Philippe a décidé d’aller prendre un grand bol d’air chez ses parents, des agriculteurs avec lesquels il pense ne plus rien avoir en commun. Serge Joncour (U.V, L’Idole) dépeint le monde rural tel un impressionniste et nous montre le besoin qu’ont les hommes, quand leur vie bascule, de comprendre d’où ils viennent pour savoir où ils vont.
The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins
A lively tale of “pitch-perfect suspense” set in eighteenth-century England—one of Publishers Weekly’s Top Ten Crime/Mystery Novels of the Year. Winner of the CWA Historical Dagger Award London, 1728. Tom Hawkins is headed to the gallows, accused of murder. Gentlemen don’t hang, and Tom will be damned if he’s the first—he is innocent, after all. It’s hard to say when Tom’s troubles began. He was happily living in sin with his beloved—though their neighbors weren’t happy about that. He probably shouldn’t have told London’s great criminal mastermind that he was in need of adventure. Nor should he have joined the king’s mistress in her fight against her vindictive husband. And he definitely shouldn’t have trusted the calculating Queen Caroline. She’s promised him a royal pardon if he holds his tongue, but there’s nothing more silent than a hanged man. Now Tom’s scrambling to save his life and protect those he loves. But as the noose tightens, his time is running out.
