Book Description
Uncovering class divisions, racial conflicts, and tangled emotions, this gritty, shocking novel of suspense heralds the arrival of a major new talent. Henning Juul is a veteran investigative crime reporter in Oslo, Norway. A horrific fire killed his six-year-old son, cut scars across his face, and ended his marriage, and on his first day back at the job after the terrible tragedy a body is discovered in one of the city’s public parks. A beautiful female college student has been stoned to death and buried up to her neck, her body left bloody and exposed. The brutality of the crime shakes the whole country, but despite his own recent trauma – and the fact that his ex-wife’s new boyfriend is also on the case - Henning is given the assignment. When the victim’s boyfriend, a Pakistani native, is arrested, Henning feels certain the man is innocent. This was not simply a Middle Eastern-style honor killing in the face of adultery – it was a far more complicated gesture, and one that will drag Henning into a darkness he’s never dreamed of.

Book Description
Reconceptualizing the epic genre and opening it up to a world of storytelling, The Epic World makes a timely and bold intervention toward understanding the human propensity to aestheticize and normalize mass deployments of power and violence. The collection broadly considers three kinds of epic literature: conventional celebratory tales of conquest that glorify heroism, especially male heroism; anti-epics or stories of conquest from the perspectives of the dispossessed, the oppressed, the despised, and the murdered; and heroic stories utilized for imperialist or nationalist purposes. The Epic World illustrates global patterns of epic storytelling, such as the durability of stories tied to religious traditions and/or to peoples who have largely "stayed put"; the tendency to reimagine and retell stories in new ways over centuries; and the imbrication of epic storytelling and forms of colonialism and imperialism, especially those perpetuated and glorified by Euro-Americans over the past 500 years, resulting in unspeakable and immeasurable harms to humans, other living beings, and the planet Earth. The Epic World is a go-to volume for anyone interested in epic literature in a global framework. Engaging with powerful stories and ways of knowing beyond those of the predominantly white Global North, this field-shifting volume exposes the false premises of "Western civilization" and "Classics," and brings new questions and perspectives to epic studies.

Book Description
Pushing Past the Human in Latin American Cinema brings together fourteen scholars to analyze Latin American cinema in dialogue with recent theories of posthumanism and ecocriticism. Together they grapple with how Latin American filmmakers have attempted to "push past the human," and destabilize the myth of anthropocentric exceptionalism that has historically been privileged by cinema and has led to the current climate crisis. While some chapters question the very nature of this enterprise—whether cinema should or even could actualize such a maneuver beyond the human—others signal the ways in which the category of the "human" itself is interrogated by Latin American cinema, revealed to be a fiction that excludes more than it unifies. This volume explores how the moving image reinforces or contests the division between human and nonhuman, and troubles the settler epistemic partition of culture and nature that is at the core of the climate crisis. As the first volume to specifically address how such questions are staged by Latin American cinema, this book brings together analysis of films that respond to environmental degradation, as well as those that articulate a posthumanist ethos that blurs the line between species.

Book Description
En los años noventa los teóricos y analistas más sobresalientes en el campo audiovisual anunciaban que se había producido la muerte del cine. Se quería advertir con ello, obviamente, no de la muerte de la industria cinematográfica ni de la de sus productos, pero sí de la muerte de los específicamente cinematográfico que hasta entonces había pervivido en esa forma de expresión. En cualquer caso, muerte o no, se hablaba de una transformación cualitativa del lenguaje cinematográfico, cuya causa había que buscarla en la hegemonía de la televisión y su voraz omnipresencia, y, en particular, en lo que se vivió como una de sus consecuencias más directas: la práctica desaparición de las salas cinematográficas tradicionales. Había (y hay) muchos argumentos para sostener esa perspectiva, sin embargo es hora de replanteársela. De eso trata este libro. Ubicado en las intersecciones de la Teoría fílmica, la Historia del cine y la Estética de la comunicación, y deudor, por tanto, de sus postulados, reflexiones y herramientas de análisis, nace con la intención de demostrar la necesidad de cuestionarse si ha habido una profunda transformación del lenguaje cinematográfico debida a su adaptación a los nuevos modos de exhibición mayoritarios (televisión, vídeo/DVD, internet...). Para ello aboga por la realización de un análisis empírico deun corpus fílmico determinado, aportando razones de diversa índole que muestran tal necesidad, y realiza, además, una revisión historiográfica de la gran transformación que ha experimentado la industria audiovisual en las últimas décadas.
