Sommario/riassunto

Screening the male re-examines the problematic status of masculinity both in Hollywood cinema and feminist film theory.Classical Hollywood cinema has been theoretically established as a vast pleasure machine, manufacturing an idealized viewer through its phallocentric ideological apparatus. Feminist criticism has shown how difficult it is for the female viewer to resist becoming implicated in this representational system. But the theroies have overlooked the significance of the problem itself - of the masuline motivation at the core of the system. The essays here explore those mal

Sommario/riassunto

Das Onomastikon des Eusebius von Caesarea ist eine unentbehrliche Quelle für die Topographie des Heiligen Landes. Beruhend auf biblischen Texten und antiken Autoren bietet das Onomastikon bis heute zentrale Anhaltspunkte für die Lokalisierung antiker Stätten. Diese Neuedition berichtigt eine Reihe von Fehlern der Ausgabe von Klostermann (1902) und bezieht neue Quellen für die Textetablierung mit ein.

Eusebius of Caesarea’s Onomasticon has been an essential source for the topography of the Holy Land. Based on Biblical texts and the works of ancient authors, the Onomasticon is still the starting point for establishing the localization of ancient cities. This new edition corrects many errors in the Klostermann edition (1902) and makes reference to new sources to establish the text.

Sommario/riassunto

This work is a study of the nature and origin of nationality and modern social ideals in the Middle East, particularly Egypt, in the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Bringing together writings on political and social reform with literary works, Noorani challenges dominant assumptions about the emergence of modernity. It shows that while nationalist, liberal, and democratic ideals emerged in the Middle East under European influence, these ideals were nevertheless created out of existing cultural values by reformers and intellectuals. The central element of this process, the book argues, was the transformation of virtue into nationality.

Sommario/riassunto

Failure is not on the whiteboard. Feel like you're drowning in paperwork? Beaten by the impenetrable weight of office bureaucracy? Adrift in a sea of jargon? You're not alone. Andrew he's setting his sights on implementing a bold leaving him adrift in a world of KPIs performance reviews and a general manager who refuses to return from his holiday in Thailand. A Strategic Plan is Geelong-based playwright Ross Mueller's contemporary satire about office life arts funding and the perils of following your heart. Hilarious pointed and painfully observant it's sure to cut close to the bone for anyone who's ever tried to make a difference at work."
