Hoare Philip: William Blake and The Sea
Monsters of Love / B

William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love

*GIRL, INTERRUPTED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY* *A JENNETTE MCCURDY BOOKCLUB PICK* 'The story is extraordinary, but more importantly, the storytelling is exceptional... If you read one memoir this year, make it this one.' - PANDORA SYKES 'An impressive feat of writing.' - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Written elegantly with humor and compassion... Alice manages to tell her story with insight and forgiveness for her parents and herself, and we root for them all, all the way.' - SUSAN SARANDON 'I spent a feverish few days devouring it with a mixture of anguish and awe.' - SOPHIE WHITE, IRISH INDEPENDENT 'Mind-blowing' - LENA DUNHAM This exceptional memoir and love story tells of a young woman's harrowing coming-of-age amid glamour, excess, and neglect, and her journey, against the odds, to find herself. Alice Carrière tells the story of her unconventional upbringing in Greenwich Village as the daughter of a remote mother, the renowned artist Jennifer Bartlett and a charismatic father, European actor Mathieu Carrière. Her days are a mixture of privilege, neglect, loneliness, and danger-a child living in an adult's world, with little-to-no enforcement of boundaries or supervision. Alice begins to lose her grasp on reality as a dissociative disorder erases her identity and overzealous doctors medicate her further away from herself. She inhabits various roles: as a patient in expensive psychiatric hospitals, a denizen of the downtown New York music scene, the ingenue in destructive encounters with older men-ricocheting from experience to experience until a medication-induced psychosis brings these personas crashing down. With gallows humor and brutal honesty, Everything/Nothing/Someone explores what it means for our body and mind to belong to us wholly, irrevocably, and on our own terms. In pulsing, energetic prose that is both precise and probing, Alice manages to untangle the stories told to her by her parents, the American psychiatric complex, and her own broken mind to craft a unique and mesmerizing narrative of emergence and, finally, cure. 'Spellbinding' - JENNETTE MCCURDY 'It's extraordinary... make your way to this book.' - SARAH JESSICA PARKER 'Remarkable' - NEW YORK TIMES

A reprint of the sold-out 2007 first edition with a new introduction, Mapping Water embraces uncharted artistic terrains.&nbsp;Tuwaletstiwa writes, “In this vast desert, a thin membrane separates the daily world and the world of spirit. This elemental landscape holds a deep reservoir of the unconscious, continually reminding me of the fragility and tenacity of life. Whether writing, painting, working with fiber, sand, or glass, I seek to embody the elusive images that emanate from the unconscious.”The first section in Mapping Water explores the etymology of the word “genesis” alongside paintings that relate (and don’t relate) to parts of the text, evoking thoughts on the “genesis” of ideas. Subsequent sections continue this exploration with content that varies from the deconstruction of an iconic Holocaust photograph to the construction of a series using feathers and bones to honor the spirit of a dead crow.

Global Exploitation Cinemas

Discourses of cult cinema primarily centre around the West, with a particular emphasis upon Anglo-American cinema and fandom. Meanwhile, scholarship on world cinema privileges art cinema traditions and downplays those areas of popular cinema that intersect with cult. Global Cult Cinemas makes a decisive intervention by specifically addressing the transnational dynamics underpinning cult cinema. From studies of film reception that trace the international spread of cult film practices through to accounts of cult filmmaking traditions from a diverse range of film cultures, Global Cult Cinemas works towards the goal of de-Westernizing the discipline.

With contributors and topics from across the globe, Global Cult Cinemas explores this de-Westernization through filmmakers and current events such as Alejandro Jodorowsky in the era of #MeToo, cinephilia in Pakistan, and the reception of the Czech Crazy Comedy. While broadening the study of cult cinema beyond its predominant US focus, this book disrupts the realm of traditional cult cinema scholarship.

Global Cult Cinemas calls for a decolonisation of cult film studies. 
 
To date, discourses of cult cinema have predominantly focused upon Anglo-American cinema and its reception in the West. Even when cult scholarship has expanded to include non-English language cinema from regions such as East and Southeast Asia, what nevertheless tends to define these cinemas as cult has been the subcultural fandom for those films in the West. Shifting the focus onto cult film traditions and fandoms beyond the Anglosphere, Global Cult Cinemas makes a decisive intervention in the field by calling for a decolonisation of cult film studies. 
 
This volume therefore interrogates both the coloniality and gendered nature of much cult scholarship and the extent to which an implicit white male perspective needs challenging in an age of decolonising the academy. Our contributors focus their research on circuits of cult film production and reception beyond the predominant Anglophone centres, with particular attention to cult practices across the Global South. Chapters include investigations of specific cult film traditions within countries such as Brazil, Indonesia and Pakistan, alongside explorations of the politics of indigenous cult filmmaking, the global circulation of cult icons such as El Santo, and the status of auteurs such as Alejandro Jodorowsky in the era of #MeToo. In sum, this collection critiques the Eurocentric assumptions that lie at the heart of much existing cult film scholarship, and offers new ways of theorizing global cult cinemas to work towards the goal of decolonising cult film studies.

A Portrait of John Singer Sargent

Beyond Beauty

Raised on Radio

'Art is my life and my life is art . . .' The story of the twentieth-century avant-garde movement is a story of difference, of the outsider, of strangeness, of individual freedom, of overcoming marginalisation through self-expression. It is also a story that can be told through the prism of one of its most renowned figureheads: Yoko Ono. From her early life in aristocratic Japanese society to a self-imposed exile in New York, Ono's work built upon the histories of Dada, surrealism, Zen Buddhism, and absurdism. Finding herself at the centre of the notorious Fluxus network, she was connected to all its major proponents. Pursuing disciplined freedom and attempting to free herself from creative fetters, she carved out a legacy - despite her tumultuous personal life - as one of the most essential artists and activists of her generation. Marking the intersection of biography, cultural history and artistic meditation, Love Magic Power Danger Bliss captures the avant-garde movement and the figure at its heart in compelling, vivid detail.

A Forest History of Russia and its Empires

The Oak and The Larch

Described as 'exhilarating' by Katy Hessel, a compelling and lively history that examines the lives of British artists from the late-19th century to today. In This is Tomorrow Michael Bird takes a fresh look at the 'long twentieth century', from the closing years of Queen Victoria's reign to the turn of the millennium, through the lens of the artists who lived and worked in this ever-changing Britain. Bird examines how the rhythms of change and adaptation in art became embedded in the collective consciousness of the nation and vividly evokes the personalities who populate and drive this story, looking beyond individual careers and historical moments to weave together interconnecting currents of change that flowed through London, Glasgow, Leeds, Cornwall, the Caribbean, New York, Moscow and Berlin. From the American James McNeill Whistler's defence of his new kind of modern art against the British art establishment in the latter half of the 19th century to the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's melting icebergs in London, he traverses the lives of the artists that have recorded, questioned and defined our times. At the heart of this original book are the successive waves of displacement caused by global wars and persecution that conversely brought fresh ideas and new points of view to the British Isles; educational reforms opened new routes for young people from working-class backgrounds; movements of social change enabled the emergence of female artists and artists of colour; and the emergence of the mass media shaped modern modes of communication and culture. These are the ebbs and flows that Michael Bird teases out in this panoramic account of Britain and its artists in across the twentieth century.

The Beatles Changed the World. but Who Changed Theirs?

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THEIR FRIENDS

Author Helen Muir drew on her journalistic and personal correspondence to provide a memoir of her friendship with poet Robert Frost during the 30 years he wintered in South Miami (between 1934-1963). Frost and his wife, Elinor, brought a property in Miami to escape public life. After Elinor's death, Frost maintained their five-acre home named Pencil Pines, comforting himself with birdwatching and stargazing, cultivating flowers and friendships. Muir's children have taken up the task of releasing the work in paperback with a new foreword and new photos to give readers a fresh look at this iconic memoir written by their mother.
