From childhood, Christopher Miles was fascinated by celluloid. This love of the moving image announced itself early: he was just 17 when the BBC screened his first film in 1957. To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film. Later, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen. He writes revealingly of his relationship with his father, of whether he is related to the royal family, and of the host of key figures in the film industry he worked with. Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.

In five chapters, Opatrn analyzes the story of the Good Samaritan. He examines interpretations ranging from economic to charitable, pastoral, and diaconal readings of the Bible and highlights the public message of the story|one that is not exclusively Christian or ecclesiastical.

Discover the story of salvation in Christ through Levitical ritualsAtonement lies at the heart of the Christian faith. In Christs work of atonement, we are reconciled to God, enabled to draw near to him, and can see his glory. Through studying the Levitical burnt offering, Roy McDaniel takes readers on a deep exploration of Leviticus 1:1-9 in this thought-provoking volume, part of the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series from IVP Academic. Using elements of narrative analysis like setting, plot, and hero, McDaniel shows how the Levitical burnt offering is a ritual recapitulation of the narrative of Israels election and deliverance as depicted in Genesis and Exodus, and how in doing so, it proclaims the atoning work of Christ.At the heart of this work lies the "logic" of atonement, present in the Levitical burnt offering, an idea that contributes to the doctrine of atonement by demonstrating how Christs incarnate sacrifice is rooted in his eternal identity as God the Son.In Enacting Atonement, Roy McDaniel: Provides a coherent account of atonement centered on the eternal identity of the Son, Shows how Levitical sacrifice can inform the churchs doctrine of atonement by modeling a careful theological exegesis of Leviticus, and Explores questions about the meaning of sacrifice and its relationship to the being and attributes of God. Whether youre a scholar, student, pastor-theologian, or a layperson seeking deeper understanding, Enacting Atonement invites you to uncover the rich tapestry of Gods redemptive narrative in the Levitical ritual.

Leonore Mau traveled for almost two decades with the writer Hubert Fichte to research Afrodiasporic religions. Her photographs remained largely unpublished. They present us with challenges: What does it mean to look at them todayafter debates about representation and the treatment of artistic ethnographic photographs? As a case study, A Year and A Day focuses on Maus pictures taken in Haiti in the 1970s during the Duvalier dictatorship. The title refers to the cosmology of Vodou, according to which souls live under water for a year and a day before rebirth. Artists and scientists delve deeper into the historical background and shed light on Haiti in the 1970s, the relationship between Germany and Haiti, the photography of rituals, and the ethics of taking picture and looking.Leonore Mau (19162013) began taking photographs in Hamburg in the 1950s. From the 1960s she lived and traveled with the writer Hubert Fichte (19351986).

Este nuevo volumen de la Colección Letral sigue la estela de los anteriores, dedicados a las literaturas latinoamericanas del siglo XXI, pero ahora nos centramos en el género narrativo, concretamente en las escrituras, lecturas y materialidades que van a la contra, en oposicion a las politicas de la literatura que van a favor, es decir, que buscan el consenso. Ponemos el foco en las narrativas "emancipadas" (Marx), "menores (Deleuze), "marginales" (Rama), "ilegibles" (Barthes), "invisibles" (Ranciere), "anacronicas" (Didi-Huberman) y "desobedientes" (Gago), que enfrentan el gusto hegemonico, la tradicion, el canon y lo normativo.Asi, el objetivo principal de este libro es pensar, desde el latinoamericanismo de ambos lados del Atlantico, el modo en que el valor de lo literario se disputa en la actualidad a partir de esteticas y practicas editoriales que producen resistencia y disenso para articular una serie de politicas de lo comun.

Provenance research is so much more than a search for origin: It offers new perspectives on objects, collections, their histories, and the multifaceted relationships embedded within them. The Museum der Kulturen Basel is systematically examining its collection for coloniality and highlighting the central importance of collaborating with communities in the Global South. This work also reveals how complex and demanding ethnological provenance research is. This volume "raises groundbreaking questions that will shape ethnological provenance research in the decades to come" (George Meiu).The Museum der Kulturen Basel is one of the five state museums of the Canton of Basel-Stadt and, with a collection of over 340,000 objects from all regions of the world, it is Switzerlands largest ethnological museum. Managing this collection acquiring, preserving, securing, exhibiting, and mediating the collection is the core mission around which the museums activities are centered. In recent years, provenance research and collaboration with so-called "source communities" have played a prominent role.
