Der sympathische Vampir
Aktuell befindet sich der Vampir-Boom – insbesondere unter Jugendlichen – auf einem Höhepunkt. Marcus Recht untersucht, wie in der populären TV Serie »Buffy« Geschlecht bei den männlichen Vampir-Charakteren visuell dar- und hergestellt wird. Sein Resultat: Die Inszenierung klassischer Männlichkeit wird durch visuelle Strategien gebrochen. Innerhalb der TV-Serie eröffnen sich damit alternative Formen von Geschlecht und Sexualität. Als erstes nicht-englischsprachiges Buch ausgezeichnet mit dem von der "Whedon Studies Association" verliehenen "Mr. Pointy”-Award für das beste Buch des Jahres 2014.
A Handbook to the Swallows and Martins of the World
This reference guide gives general details about the swallows and martins of the world. These include appearance, the basic coloration and differences between the sexes and immatures and the function of other areas of colouring. Several species within the same geographical area are often segregated by feeding in different habitats or at different heights or by eating different size-classes of insects. The two sub-families, one being the two river martins, the other containing about 72 species mainly in the genus hirundo, are dealt with, including their distribution and migration patterns. Feeding, courtship and breeding habits are considered, together with details of nesting sites, clutch size, incubation and life-span. Finally, the population sizes of the various species are examined, noting that whilst many have expanded their range by using man-made structures, forest species probably remain small and one species, the Red Sea swallow is known from only one specimen. The book follows the same approach, style and presentation as The Herons Handbook published in 1985. It is illustrated by the winner of the prestigious British Birds Illustrator of the Year Award and the author has contributed to many scientific papers and journals including BBC's Wildlife Magazine.
Televised Morality
The increasing frequency of moralist critiques of television shows is an acknowledgment of television's growing role in the shaping of a culture's moral values. Yet many moralist critiques misconstrue the full moral message of a show due to a restrictive focus on sex, violence, and profanity. Televised Morality explores the nature of moral discourse on television by using "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as a case study. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has simultaneously been heralded as one of the most morally sophisticated shows on television and one of the most morally corrupt. The program offers a fascinating look into the divergent issues involved in the moral evaluation of television today. Stevenson argues that analysis of this show's moral vision, its methods of moral reasoning, and its narrative function reveal the complexity of moral discourse on television and provides a good model for the moral critique of other television shows.
