Forgotten Blockbusters

Sinopse

Forgotten Blockbusters explores the intriguing phenomenon of commercially successful films that have faded from cultural memory. It investigates why some blockbusters endure while others, despite initial box office success, become forgotten footnotes in film history. The book argues that a film's legacy depends not only on artistic merit but also on its resonance with subsequent generations and adaptability to evolving cultural norms.

 
The book examines the initial context of a film's release, the evolution of audience tastes, and the mechanics of cultural memory. For instance, a film's societal, political, and economic climate can greatly influence its initial success. Forgotten Blockbusters challenges traditional film history by focusing on commercially successful yet overlooked films.

 
Beginning with a theoretical framework for understanding cinematic memory, the book presents detailed case studies of films from the 1970s to the 2000s, meticulously researched with box office data, reviews, and audience surveys. This approach provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of cinematic success and failure, making it valuable for film enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in popular culture.

Russia After Putin and Trump

Sergey Shelin

This gripping book by the prominent Russian journalist and analyst Sergey Shelin aims to explain why most Russians suddenly "understood" the need to attack Ukraine and Europe and are confident that their country is on the right path.

Shelin, who was declared a "foreign agent" by the Putin regime and forced to leave Russia, argues that while most Russians now want a break from war, they are not going to apologize for the aggression and do not believe it stems from Vladimir Putin's actions. They have come to see Donald Trump as the only Western leader who understands and respects Russia and have embraced a kind of alternative West led by Trump and the European far right.

Body Horror - Capitalism Fear...

Anne Elizabeth Moore

Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
 
A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.

Air-Conditioned Nation...

Cherian George

"Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability." 
 
Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from Singapore, Incomplete (2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of Air-Conditioned Nation offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.
