"Ignored, nameless and faceless in the eyes of Rohmer's guillible subject, they
may well be the key to the destiny of the film. And when they are seen, they are '
seen' but not looked at, either by the protagonist or the spectator. They are
neutral recipients of the nongaze. In Full Moon in Paris (1984), Rohmer supplies
us with his cruel exception to the efficacy of the blindfold. Louise overlooks the
presence of Marianne with Rémi a ..."

"Few topics cause more concern than rising crime. And few remedies have been more talked about, on both sides of the Atlantic, than zero-tolerance policing. When William Bratton was appointed Commissioner of New York Police Department in 1994 crime was perceived to be running out of control. The no-nonsense approach which he developed towards petty crime and incivility, which he believed to be indicators of potentially serious criminal b ..."
"The serious crimes of strangers are those which have leapt in the statistics during
the same period as the rise of the serial killer, and the collective fear, the terror of
the strange rather than the familiar, has fuelled Hollywood's take on seriality.
Seriality, after all, is a key ingredient of a melodrama where a series thought
random is found to have an alarming pattern. Its suspenseful discovery by the
shrewd investigator is ..."

"Few topics cause more concern than rising crime. And few remedies have been more discussed, on both sides of the Atlantic, than "zero-tolerance policing". Over the past three years, in places like New York and Hartlepool, England, a no-nonsense approach has been instilled. Each city's police departments cracked down on petty crime and incivility, which proponents of "zero-tolerance policing" believe to be starters to potentially serious ..."

"A reappraisal of some of the trends in western cinema from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Drawing particularly on European and American films, the author points to the emergence of a neo-modern movement which subverts American melodrama and supplants Italian neo-realism, also echoing the early modernisms of Dreyer, Eisenstein, Bunuel and Fritz Lang.
In the American cinema paticular attention is paid to the work of Welles, Hitchcock, and t ..."

"This study examines the historical relationship between tragicomedy in the modernist theatre and the performative culture of Western consumer societies. While discussing a wide range of playwrights, it focusses specifically on the work of Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter and Sam Shepard. Their plays, it is argued, illuminate the forms of pleasure, fear, performance and corruption which dominate our daily lives. Tragicomedy is seen as uniqu ..."
