Book Description
The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter’s fidelity to the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.

Sex Without Consent
Author: Shireen J Jejeebhoy
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1848137788
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The pressing need to break the silence on non-consensual sex among young people – an issue shrouded by denial, underreporting and stigma – is self-evident. Despite the growing body of research regarding young people’s sexual behaviours, the study of coercive sexual experiences has generally been overlooked by both researchers and national programmes. Available evidence has been scattered and unrepresentative and despite this evidence, non-consensual sex among young people is perceived to be a rare occurrence. This volume dispels any such misconception. It presents a disturbing picture of non-consensual sex among girls as well as boys, and among married as well as unmarried young women in a variety of settings. This volume documents, moreover, the expanse of non-consensual experiences that young people face – from unwanted touch to forced penetrative sex and gang rape. Although the focus is on young females, the volume also sheds light on the experience of young males as both victims and perpetrators. This pioneering volume highlights key factors placing young people at risk, whilst outlining the significant distinctive health and social implications they face. Sex Without Consent also documents the unsupportive – and sometimes abusive or negligent – roles of families, teachers, health care providers and law enforcement agents, outlines promising efforts intended to prevent non-consensual sex or support survivors, and argues for profound changes in norms and values that tolerate or encourage non-consensual sex. The editors, based at the Population Council (New Delhi), the World Health Organization (Geneva), and Family Health International (Virginia) argue compellingly for a radical review and reform of existing programmes designed to prevent this kind of abuse and to support young survivors of sexual trauma in the developing world. Addressing the magnitude, determinants and consequences of sex without consent, this volume provides evidence-based directions for programming.

Contemporary Issues in Global Criminal Justice
Author: Ed Johnston
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793637342
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Contemporary Issues in Global Criminal Justice provides a holistic analysis of modern criminal justice issues, encompassing the pre-trial, investigative, and post-conviction stages of criminal justice in legal settings across the world. The contributors acknowledge and examine the vast array of challenges in global criminal justice, from the role of the International Criminal Court to policing, the integration of technology, and how marginalized groups, such as sex workers and those with addictions, are treated in the courts. With contributions from scholars in England and Wales, New Zealand, Croatia, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, and The Republic of North Macedonia, this book is not limited to one jurisdiction, and highlights that criminal justice is very much a global issue in a state of crisis. From policing to the courts, it is in urgent need of reform. Without a competent criminal justice system, justice does not exist. This book would be of interest to scholars in the legal, criminal justice, and criminology fields.

Otra vuelta de tuerca - The Turn of the Screw
Author: Henry James
Publisher: Rosetta Edu
ISBN: 1915088305
Category : Fiction
Languages : es
Pages : 945
Book Description
Otra vuelta de tuerca es una de las novelas de terror más difundidas en la literatura universal y sin embargo está lejos de ser una obra inmediatamente accesible. Si bien en sus inicios fue considerada simplemente como una historia de terror o de fantasmas la crítica fue redescubriendo la obra para enfatizar su pertenencia a la ficción gótica, la inclusión de elementos sobrenaturales y las ambigüedades psicológicas. No por eso deja de contar una historia absorbente, siguiendo a una institutriz a cargo de dos niños en una gran mansión en la campiña inglesa que parece estar embrujada. Si bien el argumento es simple, los detalles de la descripción y la narración en primera persona van conformando un mundo que puede inspirar terror de manera genuina. Eso le ha valido numerosas adaptaciones al cine, al teatro, y a la televisión. La prosa de Henry James es rica y erudita, los lectores van a beneficiarse de esta nueva traducción al español que ha tenido en cuenta las ambigüedades del texto, permitiendo toda su riqueza psicológica.
