Author: Jana Brubaker File Type: pdf What do James Freys A Million Little Pieces, Margaret B. Jones Love and Consequence and Wanda Koolmatries My Own Sweet Time have in common? None of these popular books are what they appear to be. Freys fraudulent drug addiction memoir was really a semi-fictional novel, Jones chronicle of her life in a street gang was a complete fabrication, and Koolmatrie was not an Aboriginal woman removed from her family as a child, as in her seemingly autobiographical account, but rather a white taxi driver named Leon Carmen.Deceptive literary works mislead readers and present librarians with a dilemma. Whether making recommendations to patrons or creating catalog records, objectivity and accuracy are crucialand can be difficult when a books authorship or veracity is in doubt.This informative (and entertaining!) study addresses ethical considerations for deceptive works and proposes cataloging solutions that are provocative and designed to spark debate. An extensive annotated bibliography describes books that are not what they seem. **About the Author With over 25 years of cataloging experience, Jana Brubaker is the acting associate dean for collections, technical services, and digital scholarship at Northern Illinois University Libraries in DeKalb.

Author: Alexander Graf File Type: pdf This volume on avant-garde film has emerged as part of a wider reassessment of 20th century avant-garde art, literature and film carried out in the framework of a research project at the University of Edinburgh. It paves the way for a fresh assessment of avant-garde film and develops its theory as an integral part of a newly defined conception of the avant-garde as a whole, by closing the gap between theoretical approaches towards the avant-garde as defined on the basis of art and literature on the one hand and avant-garde cinema on the other. It gathers contributions by the most esteemed scholars in the field of avant-garde studies relating to the classical avant-garde cinema of the 1920s, to new trends emerging in the 1950s and 1960s and to the impact that innovative technologies have recently had on the further development of avant-garde and experimental film. The contributions reflect the broad range of different moving-image media that make up what we refer to today simply as film, at the same time as reconsidering the applicability of the label avant-garde, to offer a comprehensive and updated framework that will prove invaluable to scholars of both Moving Image Studies and Art History disciplines.
