ISBN-13: 978-1-85733-528-6, ISBN: 1-85733-528-7

"Laid back, sun-drenched tropical paradise, or hotbed of drug-related crime and violence? Neither stereotype is true. Jamaica suffers from a PR problem, created largely by tabloid headlines written thousands of miles away. The reality is more complex and more fascinating. Despite its small size, Jamaica punches above its weight. It’s footprints in sport and music are, like its people, larger than life. It is one of the few countries to ..."






The Desiring-Image(1st Edition)
Gilles Deleuze and Contemporary Queer Cinema

Paperback, 330 Pages, Published 2013 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-999316-1, ISBN: 0-19-999316-5

"The Desiring-Image yields new models of queer cinema produced since the late 1980s, based on close formal analysis of diverse films as well as innovative contributions to current film theory. The book defines "queer cinema" less as a specific genre or in terms of gay and lesbian identity, but more broadly as a kind of filmmaking that conveys sexual desire and orientation as potentially fluid within any individual's experience, and as fo ..."

"Reading a wide range of early modern authors and exploring their cultural-historical, philosophical and scientific contexts, Early Modern Writing and the Privatization of Experience examines the shift in focus from reliance on shared experience to placing of trust in individualized experience which occurs in the writing and culture of the period.

ISBN-13: 978-1-84014-649-3, ISBN: 1-84014-649-4

"This title re-examines narrative design in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", "the Faerie Queene", "King Lear" and "Paradise Lost". Written in a period newly set on finding practical application for available systems of reasoning, these texts confront in their different ways reason's absolute limitation in the face of a Real which it cannot adequately represent to itself or recruit to its own purposes. An influential model for the stagi ..."

Hardcover, 202 Pages, Published 2016 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-138-18466-4, ISBN: 1-138-18466-7

"This volume addresses dealings with the wondrous, magical, holy, sacred, sainted, numinous, uncanny, auratic, and sacral in the plays of Shakespeare and contemporaries, produced in an era often associated with the irresistible rise of a thinned-out secular rationalism. By starting from the literary text and looking outwards to social, cultural, and historical aspects, it comes to grips with the instabilities of ‘enchanted’ and ‘disencha ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-317-29067-4, ISBN: 1-317-29067-4

"Paracelsus asserts that even poison contains the “mystery of nature” as created by God, which means that it is often blessed with “some great gift for the benefit of man” (95). The weeds of Lucianus also recall the “unweeded garden” that “grows to seed” in Hamlet's first soliloquy, yet the underworld goddess Hecate in the Mousetrap, together with the magical influence of the time of night on the material composition of the weeds, s ..."

"As film reviewer Patrick Goldstein points out, “Many of the best buddy films spring into high gear when the filmmaker introduces a dramatic irritant, usually in the form of a beautiful, free-spirited woman who sparks the flame of romantic conflict. ... That John endured a largely unhappy marriage to May, especially in comparison with Max's happy years with Amy, whom he meets on the rebound, makes no difference in terms of the feud ..."

"... including one brother's panicky seizure of an anesthetized patient's oxygen mask, and the same brother's insinuation that one of his patients has corrupted her uterine environment by having sex with a dog.30 Despite the obvious influence of this article on Dead Ringers's screenplay, the only pretext mentioned in the film's opening credits or press materials is the novel Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, published in 1977.

"However, Cronenberg's collaborators have been key in establishing a coherent aesthetic and philosophy in the films I analyze, plus all of his later and much of his earlier work. This steady repertory encompasses composer Howard Shore (a constant since The Brood), editor Ronald Sanders (since Fast Company), production designer Carol Spier (since Videodrome, though missing from Spider) , and costume designer Denise Cronenberg (the dir ..."
