This book interrogates the relation between film spectatorship and film theory in order to criticise some of the disciplinary and authoritarian assumptions of 1970s apparatus theory, without dismissing its core political concerns. Theory, in this perspective, should not be seen as a practice distinct from spectatorship but rather as an integral aspect of the spectator’s gaze. Combining Jacques Rancière’s emancipated spectator with Judith Butler’s queer theory of subjectivity, Spectatorship and Film Theory foregrounds the contingent, embodied and dialogic aspects of our experience of film. Erratic and always a step beyond the grasp of disciplinary discourse, this singular work rejects the notion of the spectator as a fixed position, and instead presents it as a field of tensions—a “wayward” history of encounters.

This book establishes a dialogue between Yorgos Lanthimos and Giorgio Agamben as a way of interpreting the “weird” roles, rules, and rituals that define and discipline lives in Lanthimos’s early works, from Kinetta to The Killing of a Sacred Deer. By exploring the resonance between Lanthimos’s cinema and Agamben’s understanding of gesture, this work wants to contribute to a theory of performative power under biopolitical and spectacular modalities of government, focussing in particular on Agamben’s ideas of operativity and inoperativity and on the construction and deconstruction of the white bourgeois, normative, and consensual “formality” of life. In turn, the role gestures play in Lanthimos’s critique of patriarchy and of neoliberal forms of vulnerabilisation is used to question Agamben’s unspoken affinities with contemporary radical feminism and queer theory.

No homeseekers were ever plagued with more bad luck than those who followed the Englishman John Charles Beales to southern Texas late in 1834. On the banks of Las Moras Creek, not far from the Rio Grande, they established the colony of Dolores. Among them were the British-born Sarah Ann Horn and her husband and two small sons. For the pretty Sarah Ann, who shared her neighbors' fear of Comanche raids, the year or so in Dolores was a preview of a special hell to come. The threat of an invasion by Santa Anna, an uncongenial climate, a lack of trees for lumber, an unnavigable river, crop failures, and a scarcity of commodities contributed to the colonists' discouragement and discord. In Comanche Bondage the distinguished southwestern historian Carl Coke Rister has written the history of the Dolores enterprise, drawing on Beale's journals and other documents, and including reports of the survivors. Leaving Dolores in the wake of news about the Alamo and Goliad disasters, the Horn family and their neighbors the Harrises headed toward Matamoras. They never arrived there. Later a broken Sarah Ann Horn told the horrifying story of the murder of the men and of the years of captivity she and Mrs. Harris and their children endured at the hands of the Comanches. Rister has edited and annotated her 1839 narrative, which complements and extends his account of Beales's folly.

- Le has contado a alguien que me has visto? -No, de verdad, a nadie. Y no lo har si no quieres, pero con una condici n. - Cu l? -Que me dejes ayudarte. Y no me digas que no necesitas ayuda porque no me lo creer . - Por qu ? -Porque tengo la impresi n de que est s metida en un l o. Y los l os se suelen complicar. En la vida de Bruno, un estudiante al que le han quedado asignaturas y que intenta recuperarlas en una residencia de verano, interviene un suceso inesperado y se involucra, en uni n de una joven intr pida, en la empresa de averiguar el secreto de una familia que guarda muchos m s de los que ambos creen. Aurora Ventura naci en Madrid, en 1941, con todo lo que eso implica. Al poco tiempo adquiri el vicio de escribir del que no ha podido quitarse hasta ahora. Miembro de familia numerosa, hija de miembros de familias numerosas, a su alrededor nunca han faltado los ni os y los j venes. A ellos est dedicada una buena parte de lo que escribe. Quiz sea porque cree en esas peque as personas que a n conservan los superpoderes que todos traemos de f brica y que luego se pierden con la kryptonita de la madurez. O tal vez sea porque espere que, el escribir para ellos le haga un poco inmune a esa kryptonita.
Well, here's what the blurb for the audiobook says: "Carla is a beautiful girl. She was plucked from the obscurity of a Polish slum to be the wife of a wealthy man-a man who seemingly gives her everything a wife could want. Except the one thing that she needs most: the pleasure she burns for while he snores beside her, the passion that only a lover can give."But adultery seems impossible until, suddenly, it happens. When she seduces a filling-station attendant, ruining her clothes in the grease of a mechanic's floor, she starts to spin out of control. He is the first but not the last, as Carla learns that infidelity is no work at all."What it doesn't say, but I will, is that Carla was my first published novel. In the summer of 1958 I came home from a vacation in Mexico to a note from my agent: Did I know what a sex novel was? Could I write one? We both knew I could write a book, I'd sent him one then under consideration at Gold Medal, and now I sat down and wrote a portion and outline of a book to be set in my hometown of Buffalo, where I was spending what remained of the summer before going back to college in the fall.Midway Tower Books, a new publisher founded by Harry Shorten of Archie Comics, lapped up Carla, so to speak. I met Harry some months later, and all he wanted to talk about was the scene in the grease put at the gas station. I guess it really worked for him.One other thing perhaps worth noting. After my portion and outline had been okayed, I completed the book. Then my agent let me know that it was a little too short. Could I please write another chapter to be inserted anywhere in the book?That was a poser, as the plot-such as it was-didn't have a lot of leftover space in it. But I figured out what to write, and sent along a chapter with the notation that it could indeed be inserted anywhere in the book. My good buddy Don Westlake, who also labored some in the Shorten vineyard, thought this was a remarkable tour de force, but I'm not so sure. I mean, what else was I supposed to do?You can probably spot the chapter in question.As I said, Carla was my first published book, and that's reason enough for me to be pleased by its renewed availability. It may even be reason enough for you to read it. I'd hope, though, that it's not your very first exposure to my work.Still, if it is, there's a bright side. From here on, they get better. And I'm delighted we've been able to reproduce the original Midwood cover, with a painting by the great Paul Rader
Carla al-Hassan lives in two worlds. In one, she is known as a mild-mannered young woman who dropped out of college to work full time to pay for her grandfather's medical bills. In the other, she is a professional killer who does the will of a mysterious domestic terrorist group called the Cicero Organization. For years, Carla has maintained this delicate balance. But a jealous act of betrayal and an investigation by a determined lawyer threaten her balance...and her life.
