Out of the Past: Lacan and Film Noir
Author: Ben Tyrer
File Type: pdf
This bookpresents a new reading of film noir through psychoanalytic theory. In a field now dominated by Deleuzian and phenomenological approaches to film-philosophy, this book argues that, far from having passed, the time for Lacan in Film Studies is only just beginning.The chapters engage with Lacanian psychoanalysis to perform a meta-critical analysis of the writing on noir in the last seven decades and to present an original theory of criticism and historiography for the cinema. The book is also an act of mourning for a lost past of the cinema, for a longstanding critical tradition and for film noir.It asks how we can talk about film noir when, in fact, film noir doesnt exist. The answer starts with Lacan and a refusal to relinquish psychoanalysis. Lacanian theories of retroactivity and ontology can be read together with film history, genre and narrative to show the ways in which theory and history, past and present, cinema and psychoanalysis are fundamentally knotted together.Tyrer also explores Lacan through particular noir films, such asDouble IndemnityandThe Maltese Falcon and demonstrates the possibilities for a Lacanian Film Studies (as one that engages fully with Lacans entire body of work) that has hitherto not been realised. **

JOHN
84808
Author: John Rae
File Type: pdf
John Rae is best known today as the first European to reveal the fate of the Franklin Expedition, yet the range of Raes accomplishments is much greater. Over five expeditions, Rae mapped some 1,550 miles (1,850 kilometres) of Arctic coastline he is undoubtedly one of the Arctics greatest explorers, yet today his significance is all but lost. John Rae, Arctic Explorer is an annotated version of Raes unfinished autobiography. William Barr has extended Raes previously unpublished manuscript and completed his story based on Raes reports and correspondence-including reaction to his revelations about the Franklin Expedition. Barrs meticulously researched, long overdue presentation of Raes life and legacy is an immensely valuable addition to the literature of Arctic exploration.** bJohn Raeb (18131893) was an employee of the Hudsons Bay Company who explored substantial sections of the north coast of North America, and was the first to reveal the fate of the Franklin expedition. William Barr has researched the history of exploration of the polar regions for over 40 years. He has published 23 books, including edited translations from French, German, and Russian. He is a Senior Research Associate with the Arctic Institute of North America, University of Calgary.

TERRO
37713
Author: Leon Trotsky
File Type: mobi
This work constitutes a rebuttal to charges made against the Bolsheviks by Karl Kautsky in 1919. Trotskys defense of Bolshevism is devoted to two basic questions. One is the question of the revolutionary seizure of power to establish and maintain the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Soviet form, the kind of party required for this purpose, and the role it must play. The other is the question of the methods to be pursued by a socialist revolution in realizing socialism, that is, in reorganizing the economic foundation of society.

MORAL
94684
Author: Nancie Erhard
File Type: pdf
Moral Habitat explores how our moral imaginations and moral norms have been shaped by and even cocreated with Earth in diverse biotic communities. Weaving together science and religion with indigenous and womanist traditions, Nancie Erhard uses examples from a variety of sources, including post-Cartesian science, the Old Testament, and the Mi kmaq tribe of Eastern Canada. She demonstrates how each portrays the agencyincluding the moral agencyof the natural world. From this cross-cultural approach, she recasts the question of how we conceive of humans as moral agents. While written for the sake of Earth, this thought-provoking book goes well beyond the issue of ecology to show the contribution that such an approach can make to pluralist ethics on a range of timely social issues.

EMERS
66416
Author: Christopher Hanlon
File Type: pdf
Ralph Waldo Emersons dementia, an ordeal that marked his final two decades, has never been a secret among those who study Emersons life. Still, few have focused on the period of Emersons decline. Thus, his later thinking has succumbed to a process of critical forgetting too often ignored by scholars if not excluded from his oeuvre altogether. And yet Emersons late output, composed as his patterns of cognition transformed profoundly, stages a reconsideration of interests that had preoccupied him for decades the continuum of human thought and the rest of nature, the bearing of the individual toward the collective, the minds relationship with the body. Emersons Memory Loss presents an archive of texts documenting Emersons intellectual, affective, and associative states during his late phase, along with the varying forms of shared connection from which these works emerge. It is also about the way such texts connect Emerson with a stream of thought in America, coursing through the works of other nineteenth-century writers and thinkers adjacent to Emerson, that emphasizes the aggregate over the singular, the social over the solipsistic, the engaged over the distant, and the many over the one. Hanlon attends to manuscripts and publications marking Emersons collaborations with others which Emerson himself articulated as his most important work-texts written even as his ability to do so independently waned. Hanlon measures its resonance across broader strains of U.S. culture familiar to Margaret Fuller, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, and more. **

Author: Ali Al Tuma
File Type: pdf
The history of the Moroccan troops in the Spanish Civil War (19361939) is the story of an encounter between two culturally and ethnically different people, and the attempts by both sides, Moroccan and Spanish, to take control of this contact. This book shows to what extent colonials could participate in negotiating limits and taboos rather than being only on the receiving end of them. The examination of this encounter, in its military, religious, as well as sexual aspects, sheds new light on colonial relations, and on how unique or typical the Spanish colonial case is in comparison to other European ones. **About the Author Ali Al Tuma is a JSPS fellow at the United Nations University in Tokyo, andwas a faculty member at Leiden University.
