 Konstantin Mierau, "Capturing the Pícaro in Words: Literary and Institutional Representations of Marginal Communities in Early Modern Madrid" English | ISBN: 0367000334 | 2018 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB Capturing the Pícaro in Words discusses the framing of the transient marginals of early modern Madrid in the literary pícaro. It compares the perceptions of constables, shopkeepers, and criminals, to those of mass-produced literary representations, and argues that the literary representations "displaced" the pícaro, assigning the marginals different places in the literary texts in order to centralise the problem of urban vagrancy. The texts "spanished" the pícaro, thus establishing the image of a culturally homogenous group; and lastly, "silenced" the pícaro, under-representing the power marginals in the city derived from their knowledge of the information flows in the city.

BPP Learning Media, "Business Essentials Research Project: Study Text" English | 2010 | pages: 313 | ISBN: 0751768340 | PDF | 6,9 mb [center]  Brokeback Mountain By Gary Needham 2010 | 152 Pages | ISBN: 0748633820 | PDF | 1 MB Since its release in 2005, Brokeback Mountain became a major cultural event and a milestone in independent American filmmaking. Based on the short story by Annie Proulx and directed by Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain situated a love story between two closeted cowboys at the heart of American mythology, film spectatorship and genre. Brokeback Mountain offered an independent and queer revision of the conventions and clichés of the western and the melodrama through a studied exploration of homophobia and the closet. This book examines Brokeback Mountain in relation to indie cinema, genre, spectatorship, editing, and homosexuality. In doing so it brings film studies and queer theory into dialogue with one another and explains the importance of Brokeback Mountain as both a contemporary independent and queer film. |
