• Sommario/riassunto: Der Horrorfilm lässt Erscheinungsformen des Körpers sichtbar werden, die in übrigen Diskursen meist ausgeschlossen oder verworfen werden. Diese genrespezifischen Strategien der Visualisierung zeigen ein »Unzeigbares«, das nicht nur zum abweichenden Gegenbild des Körpers, sondern auch zum Faszinosum und Spektakel erhoben wird. Die Studie deutet diese Körperbilder vor dem Hintergrund kultureller Konzeptionen des Körperlichen und erschließt die heterogenen und historischen Dimensionen, die sich in ihnen einzeichnen. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Themenfelder Monstrosität, phantastische Krankheit und Tod.; »Die Anlage, der theoretische Aufbau der Studie sowie die inhaltliche Detailfülle dieser Studie [sind] von ausgezeichneter Qualität [...].« Björn Schäffer, MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2009) »Catherine Sheltons Zugang zu den Körperbildern im Horrorfilm verspricht eine Vielzahl von Diskurssträngen, aus denen die dem Genre zugrundeliegende ästhetische Wirkabsicht des Unheimlichen, Schockierenden und Ekelerregenden bezogen wird, ans Licht zu befördern und so die Horrorforschung durch eine Genealogie genreüblicher Motive des ; Körperlichen, die insbesondere im ›postklassischen‹ Horrorfilm als spektakelhafter, filmischer Exzess in den Vordergrund treten, zu bereichern.« Jörg Hackfurth, www.literaturkritik.de, 5 (2009) Besprochen in: film-dienst, 1 (2009)

• Sommario/riassunto: Leading historians and policy advisors explore the implications of incorporating historical sensibilities into key development policy issues.; "If history matters for understanding key development outcomes then surely historians should be active contributors to the debates informing these understandings. This volume integrates, for the first time, contributions from ten leading historians and seven policy advisors around the central development issues of social protection, public health, public education and natural resource management. Where did the policy ideas underpinning these sectors come from? How did certain ideas, and not others, gain traction in shaping particular policy responses? How did the content and effectiveness of these responses vary across different countries, and indeed within them? Answering these questions requires incorporating historical sensibilities into development policy deliberations in ways that take seriously the importance of context, process, and contestation. Achieving this is not merely a matter of seeking to "know more" about specific times, places and issues, but recognizing the distinctive ways in which historians rigorously assemble, analyze and interpret diverse forms of evidence. Doing so gives rise to policy conclusions rather different to those emerging from prevailing analytical approaches. This book will appeal to students and scholars in Development Studies, History, International Relations, Politics, Geography as well as policy makers and those working for or studying NGO's." --Publisher's website.
