Pages : 174
Book Description
Do you hear that mysterious knocking at the door? You peek outside, yet there’s no one there. You wonder if your mind is playing tricks on you, if perhaps you imagined it. But, before you even realize it, you’ve opened the door to malevolent and shadowy forces—energies we can’t fully comprehend, yet we know they are there. At some point, we've all felt the hairs on the back of our necks stand up, or experienced sudden waves of sadness, anger, or desolation. Haven’t you ever asked yourself that question? They are out there, lurking in the shadows—invisible, yet always present. Have you ever felt that you're being watched, as though someone is silently observing you? Even as we remain ignorant of so much about life, there is one undeniable truth: demons have been silent companions on our journey through the centuries. They are elusive entities, hiding at the edge of our understanding, immersed in the darkest mysteries. Through this cursed book, I will recount my own pilgrimage through the unknown, my quest for answers in the world of the occult and the sinister. This dictionary on demons takes an academic approach, grounded in rigorous historical, cultural, and scholarly research. Its primary purpose is to provide an objective and factual compilation of information about demons, exploring mythologies, cultural beliefs, and historical representations in a precise and documented manner. Within the pages of this illustrative dictionary, I will present a gallery of demonic entities as you have never seen them before. Accompanied by vivid illustrations and the most comprehensive information, these malevolent creatures will transport you to a world of mystery and darkness.

Pages : 244
Book Description
Apocalyptic Transformation explores how one the oldest sense-making paradigms, the apocalyptic myth, is altered when postmodern authors and filmmakers adopt it.

The Migration and Politics of Monsters in Latin American Cinema
Author: Gabriel Eljaiek-Rodríguez
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319972502
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The Migration and Politics of Monsters in Latin America proposes a cinematic cartography of contemporary Latin American horror films that take up the idea of the American continent as a space of radical otherness, or monstrosity, and use it for political purposes. The book explores how Latin American film directors migrate foreign horror tropes to create cinematographic horror hybrids that reclaim and transform monstrosity as a form of historical rewriting. By emphasizing the specificities of the Latin American experience, this book contributes to broad scholarship on horror cinema, at the same time connecting the horror tradition with contemporary discussions on violence, migration, fear of immigrants, and the rewriting of colonial discourses.

Routledge Handbook of Transnational Organized Crime
Author: Felia Allum
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135424578
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
Transnational organized crime crosses borders, challenges States, exploits individuals, pursues profit, wrecks economies, destroys civil society, and ultimately weakens global democracy. It is a phenomenon that is all too often misunderstood and misrepresented. This handbook attempts to redress the balance, by providing a fresh and interdisciplinary overview of the problems which transnational organized crime represents. The innovative aspect of this handbook is not only its interdisciplinary nature but also the dialogue between international academics and practitioners that it presents. The handbook seeks to provide the definitive overview of transnational organized crime, including contributions from leading international scholars as well as emerging researchers. The work starts by examining the origins, concepts, contagion and evolution of transnational organized crime and then moves on to discuss the impact, governance and reactions of governments and their agencies, before looking to the future of transnational organized crime, and how the State will seek to respond. Providing a cutting edge survey of the discipline, this work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in this dangerous phenomenon.
