Geschichte der literarischen Vortragskunst
by Reinhart Meyer-KalkusLiterarische Vortragskunst entstand in Deutschland in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts als ein von Schauspiel und anderen Vortragsgattungen (Rede, Predigt, Vorlesung etc.) unterschiedenes Sprachspiel des Vorlesens, Rezitierens und Deklamierens von Gedichten, Erzählungen und Dramen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist die erste umfassende Geschichte dieser Vortragskunst von Klopstock bis zu Kling, ja bis zum Poetry-Slam. Sie konzentriert sich auf die verschiedenen Akteure (Autoren, professionelle Rezitatoren, Deutschlehrer, Sprecherzieher und Laien) sowie auf deren Vortragsformate und Zuhörer im Kontext der Veränderung vortragsästhetischer Normen und mediengeschichtlicher Innovationen. Mit Rückgriff auf Einsichten der Medienwissenschaft, Performance-Analyse und Stimmforschung entwickelt sie einen analytischen Ansatz, um Vortragsformate und Vortragsweisen in ihrer Historizität zu beschreiben.

Gestural Imaginaries: Dance and Cultural Theory in the Early Twentieth Century (Oxford Studies in Dance Theory)
by Lucia RuprechtGestural Imaginaries: Dance and Cultural Theory in the Early Twentieth Century offers a new interpretation of European modernist dance by addressing it as guiding medium in a vibrant field of gestural culture that ranged across art and philosophy. Taking further Cornelius Castoriadis's concept of the social imaginary, it explores this imaginary's embodied forms. Close readings of dances, photographs, and literary texts are juxtaposed with discussions of gestural theory by thinkers including Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, and Aby Warburg. Choreographic gesture is defined as a force of intermittency that creates a new theoretical status of dance. Author Lucia Ruprecht shows how this also bears on contemporary theory. She shifts emphasis from Giorgio Agamben's preoccupation with gestural mediality to Jacques Rancière's multiplicity of proliferating, singular gestures, arguing for their ethical and political relevance. Mobilizing dance history and movement analysis, Ruprecht highlights the critical impact of works by choreographers such as Vaslav Nijinsky, Jo Mihaly, and Alexander and Clotilde Sakharoff. She also offers choreographic readings of Franz Kafka and Alfred Döblin. Gestural Imaginaries proposes that modernist dance conducts a gestural revolution which enacts but also exceeds the insights of past and present cultural theory. It makes a case for archive-based, cross-medial, and critically informed dance studies, transnational German studies, and the theoretical potential of performance itself.

Gestures of Seeing in Film, Video and Drawing (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies)
by Asbjø Grønstad Henrik Gustafsson Øyvind VågnesThe first book of its kind, Gestures of Seeing in Film, Video and Drawing engages broadly with the often too neglected yet significant questions of gesture in visual culture. In our turbulent mediasphere where images – as lenses bearing on their own circumstances – are constantly mobilized to enact symbolic forms of warfare and where they get entangled in all kinds of cultural conflicts and controversies, a turn to the gestural life of images seems to promise a particularly pertinent avenue of intellectual inquiry. The complex gestures of the artwork remain an under-explored theoretical topos in contemporary visual culture studies. In visual art, the gestural appears to be that which intervenes between form and content, materiality and meaning. But as a conceptual force it also impinges upon the very process of seeing itself. As a critical and heuristic trope, the gestural galvanizes many of the most pertinent areas of inquiry in contemporary debates and scholarship in visual culture and related disciplines: ethics (images and their values and affects), aesthetics (from visual essentialism to transesthetics and synesthesia), ecology (iconoclastic gestures and spaces of conflict), and epistemology (questions of the archive, memory and documentation). Offering fresh perspectives on many of these areas, Gestures of Seeing in Film, Video and Drawing will be intensely awaited by readers from and across several disciplines, such as anthropology, linguistics, performance, theater, film and visual studies.

Get Carter: The British Film Guide 6
by Steve ChibnallGet Carter is now widely acknowledged as the finest British gangster film of all time. Released in the dog days of the early 1970s, the film fell out of fashion until the cultural changes of the 1990s gave a new currency to its pessimistic vision of a doomed male within a decaying social order. Before its re-release in 1999, Mike Hodges' fusion of the crime genre with social realism received surprisingly little critical attention. Steve Chibnall's book now gives Get Carter the consideration its quality demands. With the co-operation of Hodges and access to rare documents such as call sheets and an early draft of the script, Chibnall places the film in its social context, describes its making, discusses its characteristics scene by scene, and charts its changing status over the last three decades.
Get Close: Lean Team Documentary Filmmaking
by Rustin ThompsonA refreshing new practical approach to documentary filmmaking, Get Close: Lean Team Documentary Filmmaking equips new and veteran filmmakers with the knowhow to make artistically rewarding documentaries for less money, less hassle, and less time.

Throughout the book, Thompson demystifies and de-clutters the way docs are produced today, illustrating the use of a few simple and accessible tools and techniques while still engaging with the aesthetic possibilities of the medium, its creative opportunities and its satisfying rewards of giving back to the world. Using the essential lessons in Get Close, filmmakers will learn to eliminate physical and financial barriers between themselves and their subject matter, ultimately leading them to tell more artful, illuminating stories and find the joy in documentary filmmaking.

Get In!: Football according to Mark Goldbridge
by Mark GoldbridgeIt doesn't really matter who you support. Football is a cruel, cruel game. All of us fans have had moments of shock, disappointment, and feeling like a right knobhead. We want our teams to play like winners who’ll fight for the badge to their last breath. More often, there's so many clowns on the pitch we think the circus is in town. We've endured abject surrenders in the pissing down rain, watched multi-millionaire managers lose the plot, and signed players who couldn't pass a parcel, all to the sound of Michael Owen's 'expert' analysis. Season after bloody season. It stings so much your team might as well be sponsored by Dettol. Why do we do it to ourselves?There’s a lot to love I guess. Nothing will ever emulate the high that a major win or seeing your team lift a trophy brings. Take Manchester United winning the treble: footballing perfection. And nothing else will ever come close. Life doesn’t get any better than that.As I talk you through everything from transfers to trophies to touchline tantrums, join me as I give my definitive take on football. There's a lot to get through, so take my hand like an over-eager mascot and walk with me out of the tunnel into the glaring floodlights of what it means to be a fan……and how to survive it.
