Introduction -- 2. The ‘Local’ and the ‘National’: Kinetta (2005), Dogtooth (2009), Alps (2011) -- 3. From The ‘National’ to The ‘International’: An Uncanny Visual Language in The Lobster (2015) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) -- 4. Towards an Accessible Weirdness? The Favourite (2018) and Poor Things (2023) -- 5. Instead of a Conclusion.This book examines the Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos’s feature films. Lanthimos’s films have been linked to the so called Greek weird wave in Greek cinema, which is commonly agreed to have started with his Dogtooth (2009), and so they have largely been discussed as national and localised cinematic phenomena allegorically commenting on the Greek economic crisis or society. Lanthimos’s distinctive style is discussed in this book in terms of both national and European cinematic traditions, in the latter case specifically Brecht and the aesthetics of the uncanny. The author provides an in-depth, thorough and systematic analysis of the ‘weird’ mixture of uncanniness and Brecht in Lanthimos’s cinema as performing an uncanny transformation of Brechtian aesthetics within the context of Greek and international cinema. As the author proposes, the Brechtian aesthetics, that we also find in the modernist cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, in combination with the aesthetics of the uncanny and the unnatural narratives, is what marks, and links, formally the feature films by Yorgos Lanthimos. The filmmaker’s radical film form and subversive thematics are linked to the uncanny here, and this Brechtian uncanny, as the author calls it, redefines Brechtian aesthetics. This unique book will interest scholars and students of film studies, media studies, modern Greek studies, cultural studies, theatre studies, psychology, literary studies, philosophy.

One Supreme Objective for the Future --Notes --Bibliography --IndexStatutes and regulations are frequently designed to affect the public in specific ways. But exactly how these laws ultimately impact the public often depends on how politicians go about securing control of the complex public agencies that implement policies, and how these organizations in turn are used to define the often-contested concept of "national security." Governing Security explores this dynamic by investigating the surprising history of two major federal agencies that touch the lives of Americans every day: the Roosevelt-era Federal Security Agency––which eventually became today's Department of Health and Human Services––and the more recently created Department of Homeland Security. By describing the legal, political, and institutional history of both organizations, Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar offers a compelling account of crucial developments affecting the basic architecture of our nation. He shows how Americans end up choosing security goals not through an elaborate technical process, but in lively and overlapping settings involving conflict over statutory programs, agency autonomy, presidential power, and priorities for domestic and international risk regulation. Ultimately, as Cuéllar shows, ongoing fights about the scope of national security reshape the very structure of government and the intricate process through which statutes and regulations are implemented, particularly during––or in anticipation of––a national crisis.National securityUnited StatesInternal securityUnited StatesNational securityInternal security355.033073355/.033073Cuéllar Mariano-Florentino1944833MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911102076503321Governing security4732836UNINA
