Conclusion: Routes of Re-membering."Through a number of pertinent, and in many instances canon-expanding, case studies that unite form, history and meaning, this book offers a nuanced reframing of the Gothic mode on film from the 1920s to the 1950s through the notion of memory. Jacob Ramalho takes the reader on a rewarding journey to the itinerant, border-crossing and tactile heart of cinematic darkness." -Xavier Aldana Reyes, author of Gothic Cinema (2020) "Joana Jacob Ramalho's revelatory book proposes a radical new reading of the gothic in its filmic incarnations that roots its aesthetic in histories of exile and dislocation and memory. Ramalho teaches us that the surface of these films spanning across time, space, and genre is political, and her book generates not only a brilliantly original interpretation of the aesthetics and cultural work of the transnational filmic gothic but also a model for the reading of the deep meanings that reside in objects and forms and affects. Ramalho's dazzling book is simultaneously beautifully written and profound and shall be significant to the multidisciplinary study of the gothic and the study of film." -Lee Grieveson, author of Cinema and the Wealth of Nations (2018) This open access book defines the cinematic Gothic as an aesthetics of memory and exile. Guided by three intersecting concepts - memory, travelling, and touch - it suggests that the cross-border movements of exiles, émigrés, and professional travellers had a crucial impact on the emergence, development, and dissemination of the Gothic. This approach expands the canon to overlooked films, filmmakers, and national traditions. Drawing on film, memory, and gothic studies, the book urges the reader to think across other disciplines, including phenomenology, neurology, cognitive neuroscience, and disability studies. From hands to pianos, accordions, gloves, amnesia, and wounded bodies, the volume proposes a reappraisal of the Gothic by redrawing its scope, retracing its origins, and refocusing attention on surfaces as sites of socio-political meaning. Joana Jacob Ramalho is Lecturer (Teaching) at University College London. Her publications include work on thing theory, radical humour in punk cabaret, gothic musicals, and Ludwig II of Bavaria.Palgrave Gothic,2634-6222Goth culture (Subculture)Collective memoryGothic StudiesMemory StudiesGoth culture (Subculture)Collective memory.Gothic Studies.Memory Studies.306809.38729Jacob Ramalho Joana1780212MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910911299303321Memory and the Gothic Aesthetic in Film4303879UNINA03389nam 22006372 450 991096553510332120151005020620.01-107-12114-00-511-15263-90-521-79358-00-511-17352-00-511-32761-71-280-43272-10-511-04654-50-511-49104-2(CKB)111056485622526(EBL)164754(OCoLC)475873355(SSID)ssj0000223657(PQKBManifestationID)11186069(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000223657(PQKBWorkID)10205004(PQKB)11078297(MiAaPQ)EBC164754(UkCbUP)CR9780511491047(PPN)183065220(EXLCZ)9911105648562252620090302d2001|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPolitical parties, games and redistribution /Rosa Mulé1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2001.1 online resource (xiv, 255 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-79008-5 0-511-01689-1 Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-243) and index.List of figures -- List of tables -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Conclusions -- Technical addendum -- Bibliography -- Index.This book explores the impact of political parties on income redistribution policy in liberal democracies. Rosa Mulé illustrates how public policy on inequality is influenced by strategic interactions among party leaders, rather than responses to social constituencies. Using game theory in detailed case studies of intraparty conflicts, Mulé evaluates her findings against a broad range of theories - political business cycle, median convergence, 'shrinking middle class' and demographic movements. She analyses trends in income inequality in selected OECD countries since the 1970s and provides in-depth examinations of Canada, Australia, Britain and the United States. Her methodology effectively blends sophisticated quantitative techniques with qualitative, analytic narratives. In evaluating both the impact of intraparty cohesion and ideology on redistributive policy, and trends in income inequality, this book brings a unique perspective to those interested in the study of public policy and political parties.Political Parties, Games & RedistributionIncome distributionPolitical partiesIncome distribution.Political parties.339.52Mulé Rosa436958UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910965535103321Political parties, games and redistribution985009UNINA
