Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

BACKGROUND OF THE SOCIAL INNOVATIONS Emergence of local proactive welfare policies: As far as housing and childcare policies are concerned, multi-level governance is the predominant situation with more or less shared responsibilities between national and local governments. It introduces complex institutional relations and potential tensions on issues such as priorities on the agenda and funding. Indeed, childcare and housing issues are partly determined by national policies. Nevertheless, cities and metropolises have taken more responsibilities throughout the years for different reasons: continuation of the decentralisation process; context of the economic crisis implying state withdrawal from welfare policies; development of technical resources and expertise at the level of cities and metropolises, enabling them to develop their own policies.

    City Nantes Metropolis Country France Population 630,000 inhabitants Title of policy or practice Appel à projet "installations agricoles" (Call for "Agricultural Installations" Project) Subtitle (optional) How to attract promoters of sustainable agricultural projects in a dense urban context? URL video Category Food Production SDGs SDGs: 8, 11, 12, 15, 17. Brief description Background: Nantes urban area includes 24 municipalities with 630,000 inhabitants (6th in France). It is remarkably dynamic, while preserving two thirds of its surface area for agricultural and natural activities (30,000 hectares i.e. 300 km²). Although there is strong land pressure, diversified agriculture has resisted quite well since the city launched an ambitious programme to protect and re-cultivate fallow land. During the period 2009- 2017, nearly 180 hectares were cleared, and 30 farms were set up with the financial support of Nantes Metropolis (NM). Today, new areas are ready to embrace new agricultural projects that are consistent with the community's objectives in terms of business activity, environmental and biodiversity preservation, and the social dynamics of our peri-urban and urban areas. A working group has been set up to facilitate the installation of new farms. It aims to characterize the potential of each area, identify project leaders likely to be interested and look for the best possible match between the areas and the candidates for installation by an innovative and participatory method. Objectives of the approach: • Find the right match between

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) - i i - Abstract For the past two decades, scholars have been reassessing the ways in which Western writers and intellectuals have traditionally misrepresented the non-white world for their own ideological purposes. Orientalism, Edward Said's ground-breaking study of the ways in which Europeans projected their own social problems onto the nations of the Near East in an attempt to take their minds off the same phenomena as they occurred closer to home, was largely responsible for this shift in emphasis. Fantasy America: The United States as Seen Through French and Italian Eyes is an exploration of a parallel occurrence that could easily be dubbed "Occidentalism." More specifically, it is a study of the ways in which French and Italian writers and filmmakers have sought to situate the New World within an Old World context.
