Tim Burton : A Cinema of Transformations
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9782367812595
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Tim Burton is now recognized by critics and audiences, as a major film director who has created a universe of his own, constantly inventive and identifiable both in terms of contents and style. Throughout a career that started in the eighties and spans more than 35 years, Burton has brought a new approach to the filmic genres he has delved into, both in animation and live-action movies. He has also acquired a form of cult status and major exhibitions have been devoted to his films and his drawings. The papers in this volume seek to offer fresh perspectives on Burton's cinema and address several issues in five sections. "Origins and Cultural Heritage" examines the roots of Burton's work, in terms of subject matter and technique. "Strange Bodies : across Genders and Genres" focuses on an essential aspect of Burton's imaginary world. "A Matter of Life and Death (Family and Trauma)" explores recurrent, obsessional themes. "Adaptations, Remakes, Re-appropriations" deals with the way in which he rewrites, recycles or parodies literary works, musicals or TV series. "Artists and the Creative/Interpretive Process" brings to the fore the staging of the artist, which implies a self-reflexive approach and an often ironical stance.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Author: Maya Angelou
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 030747772X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.
