Book Description
On a strange station in a sector he had never been to before, Fnord was on the run. He had no idea that he was about to meet a teenage gladiator, a pre pubescent hacker and the most sarcastic robot (ghost) in the galaxy. With the promise of death, capture and war the unlikely team must make their way to Earth. While they are doing so they might want to find out why, and lets not forget that the empire, an evil corporation and every pirate in ten sectors will be searching for them. If only Fnord had friends who could help him out, oh wait a minuet, that’s how this whole mess started in the first place!With thrills spills and all the other things they usually say about this kind of story, Cyber Messiah promises to leave you with a feeling of obscure happiness that you just can’t explain. Although how a book made from paper can make a promise is quite beyond me. Last time I checked books were not sentient. Enjoy :-)

Book Description

Book Description
Arts, Pedagogy and Cultural Resistance brings cultural studies’ perspectives to bear on Arts practices. Each contribution synthesizes creative approaches to philosophy and new materialist understanding of practice to show how human-nonhuman interaction at the core of Arts practice is a critical post human pedagogy. Across fine art, dance, gallery education, film and philosophy, the book contends that certain kinds of Arts practice can be a critical pedagogy in which tactical engagements with community, space, place and materiality become means of not only disrupting dominant discourse but also of making new discourses come to matter. It demonstrates how embodied, located acts of making can materially disrupt cultural hegemony and suggest different ways the world might materialize. It argues that the practice of Arts making is a post human cultural pedagogy in which people become part of a broader assemblage of matter, and all aspects of this network are solidified in objects or processes that are themselves pedagogical. In doing so the book offers a fresh and theoretically engaged perspective on arts as pedagogy.

Book Description
“The Dread of Difference is a classic. Few film studies texts have been so widely read and so influential. It’s rarely on the shelf at my university library, so continuously does it circulate. Now this new edition expands the already comprehensive coverage of gender in the horror film with new essays on recent developments such as the Hostel series and torture porn. Informative and enlightening, this updated classic is an essential reference for fans and students of horror movies.”—Stephen Prince, editor of The Horror Film and author of Digital Visual Effects in Cinema: The Seduction of Reality “An impressive array of distinguished scholars . . . gazes deeply into the darkness and then forms a Dionysian chorus reaffirming that sexuality and the monstrous are indeed mated in many horror films.”—Choice “An extremely useful introduction to recent thinking about gender issues within this genre.”—Film Theory
