La memoria de las sombras
En plena posguerra, Martín Olaeta, hijo de un fugitivo republicano, comienza a trabajar de secretario para un famoso escritor de Donostia. Sin embargo, un oscuro e impredecible inspector de policía, marcado por el odio y la obsesión hacia su padre, hace que la vida de Martin se convierta en un calvario. Entre tanto, el joven protagonista se sentirá atraído por una vieja mansión, colindante a la de su nuevo patrón. La curiosidad le llevará a descubrir los sorprendentes e insólitos misterios que el caserón encierra entre sus paredes. Y, casualmente, también le ofrecerá la oportunidad de conocer a Isabel Mendoza, la hija rebelde del coronel al mando del Cuartel de Loyola. La memoria de las sombras, la ópera prima de Sergio Pereira, es una novela compleja, rica en personajes y tramas, cargada de intriga y suspense que absorberá al lector hasta la última página.
Movie Wars
Contrary to what a number of disillusioned critics have written and what appears to be the pervading conventional wisdom, Jonathan Rosenbaum believes that cinema is very much alive and well. The problem is, he feels, that all too often we just do not get the opportunity to see the best of it. In Movie Wars, America's leading film critic explores the production, distribution and promotion of mainstream contemporary cinema and how, at every turn, the industry treats the viewer with contempt. Using examples such as Miramax's buying of films solely to keep them out of the hands of competitors with no intention of distributing them, the American Film Institute's narrow championing of Hollywood studio product in their 'Best 100 Films' list, and the mainstream media's unquestioning acceptance of the Hollywood PR machine, Movie Wars is a damning critique of corporate cinematic culture and a no- holds-barred call to arms for those looking for life outside the multiplex.
Placing Movies
Jonathan Rosenbaum, longtime contributor to such publications as Film Quarterly, Sight and Sound, and The Village Voice, is arguably the most eloquent, insightful film critic writing in America today. Placing Movies, the first collection of his work, gathers together thirty of his most distinctive and illuminating pieces. Written over a span of twenty-one years, these essays cover an extraordinarily broad range of films—from Hollywood blockbusters to foreign art movies to experimental cinema. They include not just reviews but perceptive commentary on directors, actors, and trends; and thoughtful analysis of the practice of film criticism. It is this last element—Rosenbaum's reflections o...

Persistent Creativity
Recent years have seen the increasing valuation and promotion of ‘creativity’. Future success, we are often assured, will rest on the creativity of our endeavours, often aligned specifically with ‘cultural’ activity. This book considers the emergence and persistence of this pattern, particularly with regards to cultural policy, and examines the methods and evidence deployed to make the case for art, culture and the creative industries. The origins of current practices are considered, as is the gradual accretion of a broad range of meanings around the term ‘creative’, and the implications this has for the success of the wider ‘Creativity Agenda’. The specific experience of the city of Liverpool in adopting and furthering this agenda both in the UK and beyond is considered, as is the persistence of a range of problematic, and often contradictory, assumptions and practices relating to this agenda up to the present day.
Entitled
"Two centuries ago, wealthy entrepreneurs founded the American cathedrals of culture--museums, theater companies, and symphony orchestras--to mirror European art. But today's American arts scene has widened to embrace multitudes: photography, design, comics, graffiti, jazz, and other forms of folk, vernacular, and popular culture. What led to this dramatic expansion? Entitled shows how organizational transformations in the American art world--amid a shifting political, economic, technological, and social landscape--made such change possible."--Page 4 of cover.
