Women, Film, and Law - Suzanne Bouclin - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

Entertainment and profit constitute the driving force behind popular representations of women in correctional facilities. But the creative influence of film and television also generates legal meaning. The women-in-prison (WIP) genre can leave viewers feeling both empathetic toward the women portrayed in these representations and troubled about the crimes for which they have been convicted. Focusing on five exemplary WIP films and a television series – Ann Vickers, Caged, Caged Heat, Stranger Inside, Civil Brand , and Orange Is the New Black – Women, Film, and Law asks how fictional representations explore, shape, and refine beliefs about women who are incarcerated. From melodrama to exploitation, and from theatre screenings to on-demand film, television programs, and music videos, these texts bring into view the legal, economic, and political structures that criminalize women differently from men, and that target those women who are already marginalized. Women, Film, and Law convincingly argues that popular depictions of women’s imprisonment can illuminate the multiple forms of social exclusion and oppression experienced by criminalized women.

Susan Glaspell's Century of American Women - Veronica Makowsky - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

As a female writer in the shadow of the cultural nimbus generated by her male peers, and as a transcendentalist in the spirit of Emerson among modernists, Susan Glaspell has suffered from literary obscurity from the start. An accomplished playwright, and co-founder of the Provincetown Players, Glaspell created self-reliant female heroines in works which were often dismissed as "experimental" by her colleagues. Makowsky''s engagingly written study, by focusing on the women of Glaspell''s writing and their struggles with the issues of motherhood and social limitation, seeks to vindicate Susan Glaspell and to offer her work to the attention of a new generation of readers. At the same time, Makowsky offers a valuable and topical inquiry into the nature of the cultural and political forces that shape our perceptions of literary "greatness" and, ultimately, the canon.

Sue Kwon began her career at the Village Voice and went on to shoot primarily hip hop artists for record labels such as Def Jam, Sony and Loud Records.

Miraklet 1996-2006 - Per Juul Carlsen - Bog - BOOK LAB ApS - Plusbog.dk

De fleste troede knap deres egne øjne, da Nattevagten ramte biograferne i 1994. Kunne en dansk film se sådan ud? Senere blev publikum tryllebundet af blandt andet Breaking the Waves, Pusher, Festen, Den eneste ene, Blinkende lygter, Italiensk for begyndere og Bænken. Hvad var det, der skete med dansk film i midten af 1990’erne? Det forsøger denne bog at komme til bunds i.Få år inden miraklet i dansk film havde biografgæsterne været vidner til folkekomedier og historiske dramaer, hvor alle talte, som om de stod på en teaterscene. Pludselig skiftede tempoet. Der kom gysere, pistoler, håndholdte kameraer, mumlende og bandende skuespillere og filmproducenter uden tøj på. Det var, som om alt kunne ske. Bølgen opstod som et rent dansk fænomen. Der var ydre påvirkninger, især Murens fald i 1989 og den digitale teknologi, men det var kreative filmfolk, oprørske skuespillere, nytænkende manuskriptforfattere og visionære købmænd, der sammen skabte dansk films Mirakel. Per Juul Carlsen har genset filmene, gransket arkiverne, talt med alle de centrale aktører og giver her den forunderlige beretning om Dogme 95, Zentropa, Nimbus, Lars von Trier, Lone Scherfig, Thomas Vinterberg, Susanne Bier, Anders Thomas Jensen Mogens Rukov og mange andre af de fænomener og personligheder, der fra 1996 til 2006 gjorde dansk film til en verdensbegivenhed.

The Practitioner's Guide to POLCA - Rajan Suri - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

POLCA ( P aired-cell O verlapping L oops of C ards with A uthorization) is a card-based visual control system that manages the flow of jobs through the shop floor: at each operation, it controls which job should be worked on next to meet delivery targets. POLCA ensures that upstream operations use their capacity effectively by working on jobs that are needed downstream, while at the same time preventing excessive work-in-process (WIP) build-ups when bottlenecks appear unexpectedly. POLCA is particularly suited to companies manufacturing high-mix, low-volume and customized products. Such companies struggle with long lead times, late deliveries, and daily expediting to meet delivery dates. ERP systems are not designed to deal with this highly variable environment, and add-on software such as Finite Capacity Scheduling systems can require complex installation. Also, the Kanban system does not work well with low-volume or custom production. POLCA has delivered impressive results in such environments. It does not require any complex software implementation: it can be used without an ERP system or it can seamlessly complement an existing ERP system. This book: - Provides a step-by-step roadmap on how to implement POLCA; invaluable for both companies that wish to implement POLCA as well as consultants and academics advising such companies. Explains the concepts in practical and easy-to-understand terms by showing detailed shop-floor examples. Includes more than 100 illustrations for understanding how POLCA works as well as for elaborating on details of the implementation steps. Contains case studies written by company owners and executives documenting their POLCA implementation process and the results achieved in various industries in six countries.

Audi quattro - Dirk Michael Conradt - Bog - Delius, Klasing & Co - Plusbog.dk

At Audi, they are fond of recalling how a pre-production quattro left all rear-wheel-drive sedans behind on an incline in wintry Austria - with summer tires! In fact, the well-known Audi slogan "Vorsprung durch Technik" (Progress through Technology) has seldom been put into practice as tangibly as with the presentation of permanent all-wheel drive in the Audi quattro, which established this drive variant as one of the first in production vehicle manufacturing. And it was not only on snow-covered mountain passes that the four driven wheels played out their advantages: They were safer and, above all, faster on all kinds of surfaces. There are numerous special features that make this brand-defining sports coupe stand out: the five-cylinder in-line engine made for a husky voice, the digital displays installed in the interior from 1982 onward gave it a futuristic look, and the angular body design with its distinctive twin headlights had a high recognition factor. Anyone who drove a quattro stood out. This successful package was crowned by the successes of the sports version: Walter Röhrl''s victory in the 1984 Monte Carlo Rally and the record-breaking drive in the 1987 Pikes Peak Hillclimb cemented the nimbus of the sporty all-purpose weapon. Forty years after its unveiling at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the Audi quattro now receives its well-deserved tribute in a comprehensive monograph written by brand connoisseur, Audi driver, and noted automotive journalist Dirk-Michael Conradt. This 400 page, heavily illustrated book offers a complete chronology of the Urquattro from prototype to final model, and includes technical data and production figures. The illustrations include numerous previously unpublished images from the Audi factory archive.

The Ethics of Justice Without Illusions - Louis E. (university Of Washington Wolcher - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The founding premise of this book is that the nimbus of prestige, which once surrounded the idea of justice, has now been dimmed to such a degree that it is no longer sufficient to secure the possibility of a good conscience for those who undertake, in good faith, to make the world a better place in the spheres of politics and law. The many decent human beings who have noticed and experienced this diminishment of justice’s prestige find themselves in a thoroughly disenchanted existential situation. For them, the attempt to do justice without the illusion of being grounded in something beyond the sheer facticity of their own performances is a distinctly ethical theme, which cries out to be investigated in its own right. Heeding the cry, this book asks and attempts to answer the following fundamental ethical question: is a life in the law – even one spent in the pursuit of justice – worth living, and if so, how can a disenchanted person come to bear the living of it without constantly having to engage in self-deception? If Nietzsche is right that living without illusions is impossible for human beings, then the most important ethical implication of this essentially anthropological fact goes far beyond the question of what illusions we ought to choose. It must also include the question of whether we should succumb to that most seductive and pernicious of all illusions: namely, the belief that exercising great care and responsibility in choosing our illusions – which we might then call our ‘principles of justice’ – excuses us ethically for what we do to others in their name. The culmination of a 10 year legal-philosophical project, this book will appeal to graduate students, scholars and curious non-academic intellectuals interested in continental philosophy, critical legal theory, postmodern theology, the philosophy of human rights and the study of individual ethics in the context of law.

Denim - Tony Nourmand - Bog - Reel Art Press - Plusbog.dk

DENIM: THE FABRIC THAT BUILT AMERICA 1935-1944 is a beautiful and irresistible portrait of an iconic cloth and a celebration of style''s most enduring inspiration. It is said that over 80 percent of the planet have owned an item of denim clothing. We spend hours crafting the insouciant turn of a hem and the casual roll of a collar; we spend our hard-earned money on carefully weathered, faded denim. And here is our original inspiration: defined over 70 years ago by hard-working people in their hard-working labours in a timeless look that has never gone out of style. In black and white and colour, these are photographs of ordinary Americans relentlessly toiling - hands, face, boots and denim dirty - to push America out of the Great Depression into the prosperity of its post-War years. And all wearing the toughest utility fabric available to them - denim. Levi''s, Wrangler, Lee, OshKosh, Carhartt - all the iconic American brands and more are here on workwear overalls, jeans, jackets and shirts. Americans of every race, young and old - the images are reproduced here in exquisite print quality. In such context, the detail of the denim - heft of the weave; white stitching stark against blue; selvedge edges; turned-up hems - is seen as startingly modern. The photographs in this coffee table volume are taken from the archive of the Farm Security Administration and O''ce of War Information. The archive holds over 170,000 images and some of the most recognisable photographs of the twentieth century, such as Lange''s ''Migrant Mother''. Many more have rarely been seen. The archive holds well-known stories and untold histories, but it has never been looked at through the prism of fashion history before. An extraordinary feat of curation, 250 images have been discovered in the hidden depths of the archive to form this book. It is written and art-directed by denim historian and vintage-clothing expert Graham Marsh, who is responsible for the seminal publication, Denim: From Cowboys to Catwalk. Marsh places the photographs in their historical context and discusses the clothing with an infectious turn of phrase that is authoritative, humorous, and with an obsessive attention to detail. The treasure trove of images is edited by Tony Nourmand, who has a peerless curatorial ability to unearth priceless gems from archives both famous and unknown.
