Описание: The crimson eyes of the werewolf still glare at us from the midnight depths of our ancient roots deep in primordial forest. From the halls of Ancient Greek kings and from Roman horror stories, to medieval law courts and modern crime scenes, the lycanthrope has stalked us across the centuries.
In the contemporary world of the concrete jungle we may feel masters of our bestial ancestry, but the werewolf reminds us that our teeth were evolved to tear living - perhaps even human - flesh, that our place atop the food chain remains precarious.
We are now most familiar with the wolfman courtesy of Hollywood. Over the past century, a diverse pack of lycanthropes has manifest on the silver screen - in big-bucks blockbusters and zero-budget B-movies - each revealing a little more of the nature of the beast.
Within these colorful pages we will encounter reluctant wolfmen and shapeshifting sadists, Nazi werewolves and werewolf nuns, big bad fairytale wolves and lycanthropic nymphomaniacs.
Your guide is acclaimed author, broadcaster, occult historian - and lifelong werewolf obsessive - Gavin Baddeley. By finding fresh perspectives on established classics, uncovering neglected gems, and even examining a few howlers among the definitive selection of werewolf movies reviewed, Baddeley shows how the myth has adapted and transformed: whereby werewolves become analogies for alcoholism or adolescence, or ciphers for sexual awakening or serial murder.
Providing our foreword is the award-winning director, writer and producer Neil Marshall, whose brilliant debut feature DOG SOLDIERS reinvigorated the werewolf movie for the 21st Century.
So, the moon is full, the wolfsbane is in bloom... Time to brave the fogbound moors to find out who - or what - is responsible for that baleful howling... all is revealed in the FrightFest Guide to Werewolf Movies.

Автор: Baddeley, Oriana Fraser, Valerie Название: Drawing the Line: Art and Cultural Identity in Contemporary Latin America (Cultural studies in Latin American culture) ISBN: 0860919536 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780860919537 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 19790.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Recent international interest in the painters of the Mexican mural movement, such as Rivera and Orozco, has brought Latin American art to a wider audience than ever before but has often failed to confront its continuing marginalization within art criticism. Drawing the Line is an exploration of the areas occupied by Latin American art and culture between the ongoing traditions of its indigenous inhabitants, its colonial heritage and its contemporary relationship to the cultural politics of North America and Europe. It looks at the way cultural identity has been constructed by artists from the 1940s to the present day and challenges the way art criticism has hitherto dealt with Latin American art. Established stereotypes of Latin American culture are discussed in terms of their relevance to contemporary artists. The book looks at the frequent subversion of dominant images and conventions of European art--such as the political significance of landscape painted as an attempt to define a specifically Latin American reality, or the constant reworking of familiar icons of European art--and explores the importance of Latin America to the European surrealist movement. The authors examine the significance of popular art--such as the Chilean arpilleras whichcommemorate the "disappeared" of Pinochet's regime--and relate it to the traditional "high art/low art" dichotomy. Including new perspectives on race and gender, Drawing the Line is the most comprehensive account of contemporary Latin American art ever to appear in English.
