Andre Bazin on Adaptation: Cinema's Literary Imagination
by André BazinAdaptation was central to André Bazin’s lifelong query: What is cinema? Placing films alongside literature allowed him to identify the aesthetic and sociological distinctiveness of each medium. More importantly, it helped him wage his campaign for a modern conception of cinema, one that owed a great deal to developments in the novel. The critical genius of one of the greatest film and cultural critics of the twentieth century is on full display in this collection, in which readers are introduced to Bazin's foundational concepts of the relationship between film and literary adaptation. Expertly curated and with an introduction by celebrated film scholar Dudley Andrew, the book begins with a selection of essays that show Bazin’s film theory in action, followed by reviews of films adapted from renowned novels of the day (Conrad, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Colette, Sagan, Duras, and others) as well as classic novels of the nineteenth century (Bronte, Melville, Tolstoy, Balzac, Hugo, Zola, Stendhal, and more). As a bonus, two hundred and fifty years of French fiction are put into play as Bazin assesses adaptation after adaptation to determine what is at stake for culture, for literature, and especially for cinema. This volume will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in literary adaptation, authorship, classical film theory, French film history, and André Bazin’s criticism.
Andre Bazin's New Media
by Dudley Andrew André BazinAndré Bazin's writings on cinema are among the most influential reflections on the medium ever written. Even so, his critical interests ranged widely and encompassed the "new media" of the 1950s, including television, 3D film, Cinerama, and CinemaScope. Fifty-seven of his reviews and essays addressing these new technologies--their artistic potential, social influence, and relationship to existing art forms--have been translated here for the first time in English with notes and an introduction by leading Bazin authority Dudley Andrew. These essays show Bazin's astute approach to a range of visual media and the relevance of his critical thought to our own era of new media. An exciting companion to the essential What Is Cinema? volumes, André Bazin's New Media is excellent for classroom use and vital for anyone interested in the history of media.

Andre Green at the Squiggle Foundation
by Jan AbramDespite being one of the foremost psychoanalysts working today, much of Andre Green's work has until recently been unavailable in English. This work aims to rectify this, by collecting together five lectures given to the Squiggle Foundation in London. This accessible and clearly written book provides a unique introduction to Green's work and its relation to the work of D.W. Winnicott, as promoted by the Squiggle Foundation itself. The Squiggle Foundation has as its goal "to study and cultivate the tradition of D.W. Winnicott", and has achieved an international reputation in doing so. Dr Green's lectures touch particularly on the links between his thought and that of Winnicott - as can be seen from the lecture titles: "Experience and Thinking in Analytic Practice", "Objects(s) and Subject", "On Thirdness", "The Posthumous Winnicott: On Human Nature", and "The Intuition of the Negative Playing and Reality".

Through discussion of his work the contributors in this volume examine the shifting currents of the world economy and the accompanying controversies, advances, and regressions in the understanding of global patterns in present and past. Frank's publications from the 1960s to his death in 2005 enlivened and advanced debates on every continent. He analyzed Latin American dependency, long-term accumulation of capital, world systems, shifting dominance in the world economy, and social movements. His style of wide-ranging scholarship, shared by a growing number of analysts, demonstrated its relevance to the basic causes and effects of economic and social change. This collection provides a comprehensive overview of the legacy of Frank’s work and takes stock of the recent and expected developments in global and historical analysis of political economy. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of international political economy, international relations and political theory.

by Stephen A. ThebergeThe story begins in the 2030s. The Great Purge, a plague infinitely worse than Covid, wipes out a large part of the world’s population. After his long convalescence, Andre, a wealthy writer, is now a paraplegic as well as blind. He engages Jared, a solicitous personal care attendant, and manages to remain more or less independent in his boyhood home on the East Coast. <P><P> Andre also invests in android development. After all, androids are very much needed to fill many jobs after the deaths of so many humans. But neither Andre’s motives nor those of a great many others are entirely altruistic. <P><P> The story moves quickly into the worlds of mob bosses, drug deals, prostitution, and even art forgery, but also into the emotional realm of growing attachment between Andre and Jared. <P><P> What people thought were their servants soon get more ambitious ideas, and they move into the world of politics. They twist religious texts into cloaks of respectability and justification for their actions. The results of their power grab, of course, are disastrous for humankind. Only the epilogue offers a hint of rebellion and a ray of hope. <P><P> Succinct, often moving, and chillingly plausible, this is a tale of near–future possibilities that we can only hope are not just over the horizon here in 2023.
Andre's Side Of The Story
by Toby JoyceHe had everything. Special Agent Andre Dominique lived a life that most men only dreamed of. His job was full of adventure, intrigue and danger. He had plenty of money, good looks and was in excellent physical condition. He had loving parents and a brother who was his best friend. The only thing he didn't have was a love of his own. Most women, he learned, didn't want a partner who risked their life on a daily basis. Yet, he remained hopeful. Yes, he was a special agent, strong and confident; but he was also a man, much like any other man, with needs, vulnerabilities, and insecurities, especially when it came to women. Was he destined to live along, married to his career; or would he find that one woman to love, who had evaded him for so many years?

Andrea Dworkin: The Feminist As Revolutionary
by Martin DubermanFifteen years after her death, Andrea Dworkin remains one of the most important and challenging figures in second-wave feminism. Although frequently relegated to its more radical fringes, Dworkin was without doubt a profoundly influential writer, thinker, and activist--a formidable, brilliant, and uncompromising public figure who inspired and infuriated in equal measure. Her detractors were eager to reduce her to the caricature of the angry, man-hating feminist who believed that all heterosexual sex was rape, and as a result, her work has long been misunderstood. It is only in recent years, especially with the emergence of the #MeToo movement, that there has been a resurgence of interest in her ideas. Given exclusive access to Dworkin's massive and previously closed archives, award-winning biographer Martin Duberman traces Dworkin's life, from her brutal mistreatment after being arrested for protesting against the Vietnam War and her abusive first marriage through her central, crusading role in the sex and pornography wars of the following decades that sharply divided the feminist movement and continue to reverberate to this day. With a keen eye to how her prolific writing fits into her life and into the history and politics of the time, this is a vital and long-overdue reassessment of the life and work of one of the towering and most complex figures in feminist history. MARTIN DUBERMAN is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he founded and for a decade directed the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies. The author of more than twenty books--including Paul Robeson, Stonewall, The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein, A Saving Remnant, Howard Zinn, Hold Tight Gently, and Has the Gay Movement Failed?--Duberman has won a Bancroft Prize and been a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Duberman has also won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Historical Association, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Amherst College, and an honorary Doctor of Letters from Columbia University.
