Sinopsis

Lost Media explores the fascinating phenomenon of films and television shows that have vanished from public access, examining why these disappearances occur and their broader cultural significance. The book highlights how factors like accidental destruction, studio negligence, and even deliberate suppression contribute to media loss, impacting our collective memory and understanding of history. For instance, the nitrate film fires of the early 20th century underscore the fragility of early film archives, while copyright disputes can lead to the intentional withholding of content. The book uniquely investigates the impact of lost media on cultural heritage and the efforts to recover and preserve these forgotten pieces of entertainment. It analyzes specific cases, such as missing episodes of Doctor Who or the original cut of The Magnificent Ambersons, to illustrate the consequences of media loss on popular culture. It progresses by first defining lost media, then delving into the causes, examining detailed case studies, and finally discussing recovery and preservation efforts, ultimately emphasizing the importance of safeguarding our shared media history.

Improvised Explosive Device

Arji Manuelpillai

Improvised Explosive Device is a startlingly innovative exploration of extremism, hate crime and violence by poet Arji Manuelpillai. In this powerful and unsettling first collection, Manuelpillai presents a vision of the contemporary haunted by Melville's image of the whale – the terror beneath the surface of the sea. His uncompromising focus on violence is laced with gallows humour and the surreal, framed against the mundane detritus of modern life: two boys playing Mortal Kombat; a field of old trainers; the lonely glare of laptop light; a suspicious looking package in the back seat of a van.
The poems in Improvised Explosive Device emerged through research and interviews with academics, sociologists, and former members of extremist groups and their families – from the English Defence League and the National Front to ISIS and the Tamil Tigers. These complex, unnerving texts ask a series of important questions. What drives a person to commit a radical act of violence? How is that violence mediated through screens and social media? And how does the British government police marginalised groups? Improvised Explosive Device is a brave, surprising and risk-taking book; it will change the way you look at the world.
"Refusing glib analysis and easy answers, Improvised Explosive Device is a work of radical empathy, fuelled by honesty and compassion, both for those stirred to violence against minorities, and those who suffer from it." Rishi Dastidar
"The project of Arji Manuelpillai's Improvised Explosive Device leans into the mighty disciplines of poetry, sociology, and reportage to formulate an arresting debut which contests the ways we're conditioned to internalise notions of terrorism, nationalism and belonging...a bold and startling new work." Anthony Anaxagorou
