They offer a vision of the United States as a rational universe in which the physical needs to fight to find its place and to escape what fate has in store for it. Ali and Stephanie, our two characters, do not appear in the short stories, and Craig Davidson’s collection already seems to belong to the prehistory of the project, but the power and brutality of the tale, our desire to use drama, indeed melodrama, to magnify their characters all have their immediate source in those stories.

  • A Prophet of Grace a Prophet of Grace an Expository'& Devotional Study of the Life of Elisha
    A PROPHET OF GRACE A PROPHET OF GRACE AN EXPOSITORY'& DEVOTIONAL STUDY OF THE LIFE OF ELISHA BY THE REV. ALEXANDER STEWART EDINBURGH W. F. HENDERSON 19 GEORGE IV BRIDGE Prl,.ted t"n Great JJritain by T1<rnhull & Spears, Edinburgh TO THE CONGREGATION OF ST COLUMBA AND FOUNTAINBRIDGE FREE OHURCH, EDINBURGH THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED PREFACE THE following pages deal with a portion of the Old Testament Scriptures which can scarcely be supposed to offer any special attraction to the modern mind, and which therefore, as a matter of fact, is to a great extent neglected alike by preachers and by. writers on Bible themes. It is indeed not too much to say. that in many quarters to-day the claim that the recorded events of the life of Elisha should be regarded as serious history would be dismissed with a derisive smile as the survival of a discredited doctrine of Scripture. This attitude is of course due to the miraculous element which occupies so large a place in the narrative. In an age when a daring challenge is being offered to the miracles of Jesus Christ Himself, it is hardly to be expected that the marvels associated with a shadowy figure which looms out from the mists of a much more distant past should be accepted as literal historical happenings. In those far­ off days, we are told, men's minds were more credulous than they are in this scientific age ; they were accordingly disposed to invest with supernatural significance every phenomenon of the natural world which they were unable to understand ; and in this way a fertile soil was provided for the propagation of myth and legend.

  • Thomas Vinterberg Film
    LUC BESSON PRESENTS MATTHIAS LÉA COLIN SCHOENAERTS SEYDOUX FIRTH A THOMAS VINTERBERG FILM COMING SOON SYNOPSIS Kursk is inspired by the unforgettable true story of the K-141 Kursk, a Russian flagship nuclear-powered submarine that sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea in August 2000. As 23 sailors fought for survival aboard the disabled sub, their families desperately battled bureaucratic obstacles and impossible odds to find answers and save them. 2 THE KURSK TRAGEDY On August 10, 2000, Kursk — a submarine twice the size of a jumbo jet and longer than two football fields, the “unsinkable” pride of the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet — embarked upon a naval exercise. It was their first exercise in a decade and the maneuvers entailed 30 ships and three submarines. Two days later, two internal explosions, powerful enough to register on seismographs as far away as Alaska, sent the ship to the bottom of the Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. At least 23 of the 118 sailors aboard survived the explosions. Over the next nine days, the entire world was on tenterhooks, as rescue operations faltered and foreign assistance was refused. The fate of the men aboard hung in the balance. Journalist Robert Moore’s book A Time to Die: The Untold Story of the Kursk Tragedy scrupulously dissects all the forensic evidence and every agonizing moment on the final hours in the lives of those doomed sailors. 3 PRODUCTION NOTES FROM BOOK TO SCREEN recalls. “But one thing that stayed with me, from the what happened. They all died. So we surrounded news coverage, was the tapping.

  • Jacques Audiard
    J A C Q U E S AUDIARD J A C Q U E S AUDIARD French director Jacques Audiard’s latest feature Dheepan won Cannes’ Palme d’Or in 2015 and his critically acclaimed prison film A Prophet (2009) and romantic drama Rust and Bone (2012) made him that rare thing: an internationally renowned filmmaker not in the English language. Despite an auspicious personal heritage, Audiard came late to directing, a writer first and foremost. His stories, wildly varying in subject matter, have in common a fascination with the struggle for identity and the reforging of a self after or through trauma. They are shocking, beautiful and have captivated both audiences and actors like Marion Cotillard and Vincent Cassel. He is soon to make the move to anglophone cinema. Interview Joshua Bullock 82 83 © Jean-Claude Lother Joshua Bullock: The name Audiard is now well known in the world of I don’t know if it is symbolic or poetic; it’s very natural. I don’t say, “Hey, French cinema. How did you get into the film business? bring me a symbol!” These are the things I do. I did fades. I used to put my hand over the lens and take shots like that. I do the same today. Jacques Audiard: My father was a very well known scriptwriter and director in France who left behind a huge legacy. Cinema for him was JB: There’s a scene where Emmanuelle Devos looks in the mirror in Read a job, a way to earn a living. He was of a literary bent.

  • Beyond the Asylum: Colonial Psychiatry in French Indochina, 1880-1940
    Beyond the asylum: Colonial psychiatry in French Indochina, 1880-1940 Claire Ellen Edington Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 2013 Claire Ellen Edington All rights reserved ABSTRACT Beyond the asylum: Colonial psychiatry in French Indochina, 1880-1940 Claire Ellen Edington This dissertation looks beyond the asylum to consider the development of psychiatry in French Indochina as the product of everyday exchanges between lay people and experts. Drawing on archival research conducted over two years in Vietnam and France - including hundreds of patient case files - I trace the movements of patients in and out of asylums and between prisons, poor houses, youth reformatories, hospitals and family homes. Together, these individual patient itineraries challenge our notion of the colonial asylum as a closed setting where patients rarely left, run by experts who enjoyed broad and unquestioned authority. Instead, they reveal how ideas about what it meant to be abnormal, as well as normal enough to return to social life, were debated between psychiatrists, colonial authorities and the public throughout the early decades of twentieth century. By examining the dynamics of patient movements in and out of psychiatric care, this study shifts our perspective from the asylum itself to its relationship with the world beyond its walls. Colonial scholars have focused on the way psychiatry provided a new scientific discourse of racial difference and how it figured within a wider biopolitics of colonial rule. However the social histories of the asylums themselves, and how they functioned within colonial political systems, remain little explored.

  • 1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, A
    1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3. Title: 12:08 East of Bucharest ISBN: n/a 12:08pm on the 22 December 1989 was the exact time of Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania. Sixteen years on, a provincial TV talk show decides to commemorate the event by asking local heroes to reminisce about their own contributions to the revolution. But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants - a drink addled history teacher and a retired and lonely sometime-Santa Claus grateful for the company.
