About this book

This book tells the genre's 100-year-old story around the globe, featuring key players in Europe, North America, and Asia. From its earliest days, animation has developed multiple iterations and created myriad dynamic styles, innovative techniques, iconic characters, and memorable stories. The author's account is organized chronologically and covers pioneers, feature films, television programs, digital films, games, independent films, and the web. A time line of films and innovations acts as the narrative backbone, and must-see films are listed along with synopses and in-depth biographies of individuals and studios. The book explains the evolution of animation techniques, from rotoscoping to refinements of cel techniques, direct film, claymation, and more.

Teatro y Revolución Cubana

Jesús J. Barquet

"Denying concept of East Indian docility and conservatism, author argues that their militancy, especially on sugar estates where they were exploited, demonstrates their willingness and ability to champion their rights. Links this trait to aggressive nature of their 20th-century political efforts to enhance material conditions of workers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Translating Mount Fuji

Dennis Washburn

"Dennis Washburn traces the changing character of Japanese national identity in the works of six major authors: Ueda Akinari, Natsume Soseki, Mori Ogai, Yokomitsu Riichi, Ooka Shohei, and Mishima Yukio. By focusing on certain interconnected themes, Washburn illuminates the contradictory desires of a nation trapped between emulating the West and preserving the traditions of Asia." "A unique combination of intellectual history and critical literary analysis, Translating Mount Fuji recounts the evolution of a conflict that inspired remarkable literary experimentation and achievement."--BOOK JACKET

Cover of Jean Rhys

Jean Rhys

Sylvie Maurel

This book examines Jean Rhys's writings through the frames of feminist criticism and literary theory, while providing close readings of the texts and of their language. It explores the various forms of feminine dissent at work in Jean Rhys's fiction. Jean Rhys is shown to develop an ethics of subversion through resistance to closure, irony, parody and her daring rewriting of Jane Eyre. Each novel is treated as an aesthetic whole, with substantial references to Jean Rhys's short stories, for a more penetrating insight into her fictional universe.
