Selected Writings 1963-2002

Horror Studies

Blending folklore studies, media theory, horror criticism and cultural geography, this collection charts an unprecedented map of urbanlegend storytelling, from haunted cemeteries to pixelated backrooms. Across three themed sections, international scholars trace how tales of hookhanded killers and countless other spectres migrate through oral tradition, cinema, television, board games and video games, to continually reshape the fears and identities of the communities that share them. By foregrounding space the cemetery, the highway, the small town, the livestreamed haunted house as a dynamic agent rather than passive backdrop, the book reveals how legends build cultural memory, police social boundaries and critique neoliberal landscapes. Interdisciplinary, globally-scoped and mediaagnostic, this volume moves beyond folkloric catalogues and genre surveys to show precisely where horror lives today and why those locations matter.

A Cultural History of Computer Graphics presents a fundamentally new approach to analyzing digital images aesthetically through the example of 3D computer graphics (CG). While numerous methods for creating digital imagery have long existed, the advent of AI-generated content is causing a rise in debates and conflict. It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate digital photographs, CG, and AI images, and yet, because these types of images carry different cultural or even political implications, it is becoming increasingly important to do so. In response to the need of new methods to culturally decode digital imagery, this book starts from the production process and describes computer graphics as an independent method of expression, containing a specific ideological concept of realism. Through this study, it becomes clear that a particular understanding of the world is inscribed in computer graphics software development and consequently the image creation process, and it becomes necessary to perceive production aesthetically, hence there is a focus on production aesthetics. In its own unique way, every digital imaging method embodies its own sense of the world. This book will be of great interest to researchers of computer graphics, 3D image generation, and the cultural history of computer-generated imagery.

Lynne Tillman: Paying Attention

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.

Eine interdisziplinäre Theorie des Zwischen

This book examines the integral role that makeup plays in the construction and promotion of female stardom, focusing on the transitional Hollywood period, between 1950 and 1970, a time of great change in Hollywood with the advent of television, the break-up of the studios and the break-down of the production code. Cathy Lomax's compelling study features in-depth case studies of stars Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Dorothy Dandridge and Joan Crawford alongside archival images of make-up promotional material and the make up used by stars and their fans to interrogate the role of makeup in defining and adjusting the appearance of race, beauty, ageing, naturalness, and sexual appeal in the star image. Makeup is a vital technical material in film and photography; correcting skin-tones for different film stocks and making features visible under bright lights. But it is also a component of a film's mise-en-scene, intrinsically linked to the visual allure of cinema and helps to shape and refine the female star image, both on- and off-screen. Lomax's case studies show how makeup was used to create female figures such as the femme fatale played by Marilyn Monroe in Niagara (1953); how in various roles Natalie Wood's makeup was used to suggest a youthful, natural and openly sexual young woman, or, when as a white actress she was cast in 'ethnic' roles, to create an impression of a Hispanic, Native American or Black identity; how Dorothy Dandridge's light skin challenged codes around inter-racial relationships, with the result that her skin was darkened for love scenes with Black actors, and how the transition to colour impacted Joan Crawford's star persona as she aged, and how ideas about the grotesque nature of female ageing were represented in the 1960s cycle of 'hag horror' movies such as 1962's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Drawing on film studies, feminist debates on masquerade theory, celebrity studies and fashion and cultural studies, alongside information from biographies, fan magazines, archives, and practical experience from her own work as a makeup artist, Lomax reveals the vital and under-examined role that makeup plays in the display of femininity on film, and how this is exemplified through the construction of individuated stardom. By making visible a material, that because of its connection with feminine adornment has been overlooked or disregarded, this book highlights undervalued labour, and foregrounds the female agency that was articulated by the design and application of makeup.

We live in an age of extremes: populist leaders are setting the agenda, autocracies are on the march, and the liberal establishment is a bewildered blob, devoid of new ideas or fresh solutions. Having once powered progress in the form of democracy, mass welfare and defeating totalitarianism, liberals have the power to save the world again - but only if they rediscover the lost genius of their creed. Guiding us skilfully and entertainingly through the intellectual, cultural and political histories of liberalism, this book lays out a centrist agenda for today's problems. It reminds us of the dynamism and fixed principles that have shaped the successes of liberalism and warns us against splitting into sub-groups that fail to grapple with the common good. Wooldridge proposes that, as well as reviving social mobility, liberals today need to be much more critical of big business - particularly if it makes money by manipulating choices and spreading misinformation - and rethink the laissez-faire approach to immigration, social disorder, and substance abuse. A powerful call to action, Centrists of the World Unite! shows us how liberals of all parties and none can come together in defending the values of liberal civilization from enemies without and within.
