    French Cinema: A Very Short Introduction Audiobook by Dudley Andrew

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free ID: 798117 Title: French Cinema: A Very Short Introduction Author: Dudley Andrew Narrator: Alex Mortensen Format: Unabridged Length: 06:09:29 Language: English Release date: 07-30-24 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Europe Summary: It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the 'made up' aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.

    Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture Audiobook by Angela Y. Davis

    Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free ID: 603318 Title: Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture Author: Angela Y. Davis Narrator: Angela Y. Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 04:30:00 Language: English Release date: 10-24-23 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Politics, North America, Social Science, Political Advocacy Summary: Revelations about U.S. policies and practices of torture and abuse have captured headlines ever since the breaking of the Abu Ghraib prison story in April 2004. Since then, a debate has raged regarding what is and what is not acceptable behavior for the world's leading democracy. It is within this context that Angela Davis, one of America's most remarkable political figures, gave a series of interviews to discuss resistance and law, institutional sexual coercion, politics, and prison. Davis talks about her own incarceration, as well as her experiences as 'enemy of the state,' and about having been put on the FBI's 'most wanted' list. She talks about the crucial role that international activism played in her case and the case of many other political prisoners. Throughout these interviews, Davis returns to her critique of a democracy that has been compromised by its racist origins and institutions. Discussing the most recent disclosures about the disavowed 'chain of command,' and the formal reports by the Red Cross and Human Rights Watch denouncing U.S. violation of human rights and the laws of war in Guantánamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, Davis focuses on the underpinnings of prison regimes in the United States.
