Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First study of cinema, media and the Balkan wars; Wide-ranging view of politics and culture of the region; The break-up of Yugoslavia triggered a truly international film-making project. Underground, Ulysses' Gaze, Before the Rain, Pretty Village, Pretty Flame and Welcome to Sarajevo were amongst a host of films created as the conflicts in the region unravelled. These conflicts restored the Balkans as a centrepiece of Western imagery and the media (especially cinema) assumed a leading but ambiguous role in defining it for global consumption through a narrow range of selectively defined images. Simultaneously, a lot of the high-quality cinematic and television work made in the region (much of it discussed in this book) remains relatively unknown. Cinema of Flames attempts to go deeper than the imagery and address some of the general concerns of the cross-cultural representation and self-representation of the Balkans: narrative strategies within the context of Balkan exclusion from the European cultural sphere, the cosmopolitan image of Sarejevo, diaspora, and the representations of villains, victims, women, and ethnic minorities, all considered in the general context of Balkan cinema. 'encyclopaedic in scope and brilliance, making excellent use of the scholarly literature whilst interweaving analysis of films and other mass media. The book will be a superb addition to the literatures on Bosnia and Yugoslavia. It will also serve as a standard reference on Balkans film.' Robert Hayden (University of Pittsburgh)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Arts' hold a revered and respected place within modern Western society - but what exactly defines 'culture'; what gives it this enigmatic status; what influences its composition and propagation; what controls and limitations is it subject to; and what can it achieve within our world?Arthur Marwick tackles these issues head on, with a both detailed and eclectic account of the 'Arts' in the West since the Second World War. He looks at the full range of possible candidates for the category of 'Art', from both elite and popular cultures: from high literature to pulp fiction, fromart-house cinema to soap-opera, Art Music to Rock and Pop.This book looks at the fascinating diversity of twentieth-century art in the context of the social, technological, and political events, movements, and developments that have shaped our history - such as the holocaust, the television, feminism. Marwick examines how these factors have affected thecultural output of Western society since 1945, and in turn how art has fed back its own agenda and priorities into this society.
