The Gothic Peckinpah
This book argues for the importance of Gothic in understanding one of the key elements within the films of Sam Peckinpah (1925-1984). Although occasionally noted in the past, the Gothic has been generally overlooked when most critics consider the work of Sam Peckinpah with the exception of the Freudian based Crucified Heroes (1979) by Terence Butler. This work not only examines the films made after that date, especially the often dismissed The Osterman Weekend (1983) and the two music videos he made for Julian Lennon, but also places the director within the context of the developing work on Gothic that has since appeared. Peckinpah has been identified as the director of one undisputed masterpiece, The Wild Bunch (1969). By focussing on the key role Gothic plays in most of the director’s work, this book offers a way to see Peckinpah beyond The Wild Bunch and the Western, viewing him as a director who had the potential of evolving further, had circumstances permitted, to continue his critique of American life within the developing lens of the Gothic.
Folk Horror
While the undisputed heyday of folk horror was Britain in the 1960s and 1970s, the genre has not only a rich cinematic and literary prehistory, but directors and novelists around the world have also been reinventing folk horror for the contemporary moment. This study sets out to rethink the assumptions that have guided critical writing on the genre in the face of such expansions, with chapters exploring a range of subjects from the fiction of E. F. Benson to Scooby-Doo, video games, and community engagement with the Lancashire witches. In looking beyond Britain, the essays collected here extend folk horror's geographic terrain to map new conceptualisations of the genre now seen emerging from Italy, Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico and the Appalachian region of the US.
Tutela Jurídica dos Torcedores
A Lei n.o 14.597/2023 revogou o Estatuto de Defesa do Torcedor, reunindo parte deste diploma legal com outros conjuntos normativos concernentes à temática.

Freiheit und Populismus
Ostmitteleuropa rückte nach dem Fall des Kommunismus in den Vordergrund der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Interessen. Die früheren Ostblockstaaten versuchten ihre Unabhängigkeit zu verifizieren, viele neuen Staaten entstanden, Europa wurde bunter, damit auch komplizierter.

Was sind die wichtigsten Charakteristiken dieser Region, wie sind sie zu verstehen und was sind die Konsequenzen davon? Diese Fragen bewegen heutzutage viele Verantwortliche in Europa. Dieses Buch versucht eine Antwort auf diese Fragen zu geben, und zwar aufgrund der Autopoiese der Gesellschaften der Region und durch die Konzentration auf die Transformationen des Religiösen. Der Inhalt Die Region Ostmitteleuropa Verwundung Religion – Kirche – Theologie Die Zielgruppen Studierende und Dozierende der Soziologie sowie Sozial- und Religionswissenschaften Der AutorAndrás Máté-Tóth ist Professor für Religionswissenschaft an der Universität Szeged.
