Interactivity as performance allows Nash to draw attention to affect and emotion, considering the different forms that interactive documentary engages with embodied performances such as augmented and virtual reality documentary and gaming. Nash acknowledges the fragility of the interactive documentary because of its experimental approach adopting software platforms that are still in development limiting the audience reach, but she remains hopeful throughout the book that the future for the interactive documentary lies ahead, and we have perhaps only scratched the surface. This book shows how interactive documentary appropriates digital technologies in order to find new methods of engaging with realities that often confront contemporary social concerns and the intricacies of truth.

Film scholar Lucy Fischer opens this book with a preface called "Magritte and Me" in which she tells of her longstanding love of René Magritte's art and the significance this art has had on her life and on her teaching film studies. She then elaborates this concept of resonance arguing that Magritte's art is "realistic" but that it raises conceptual issues that are of importance to film and cinema, arguing that he is as much a philosopher as he is a surrealist artist. Part one; "Backstory", consisting of four chapters, examines films that have been made about Magritte, films Magritte made himself (home movies), film tributes to Magritte and surrealist films directly influenced by Magritte's work.

Beginning with a promise of realizing a spatial critique in film studies, this book contributes to the spatial turn in film studies.It discusses a variety of issues using space as an entry point: cinematic space, place images, institutional and pre-production contexts and their afterlives. The book broadly uses colonial films, Hindi cinema and Bengali films in constituting India as a filmed space; a clarification to this end would have been useful. [Extracted from the article]

The relationship between the motion picture industry and the city of Paris has a long and fascinating dynamic that is as old as cinema itself. Despite its foundational role in film history and position as a cultural model for aspiring filmmakers and movie enthusiasts alike, "In film studies, Paris has gone largely unexamined" (p. 5). Eric Smoodin's I Paris in the Dark i takes on the daunting task of examining 'the varied audiences of Paris, the movies they watched, and their neighbourhood cinemas also highlights significant changes in the practices of film studies' (p. 4).

One may question such a selection process, as the anthology does seem to focus on a select group of philosophers at the expense of many focused practitioners of the very film theory that the edition hopes to elucidate. I Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou i is a recent collection of essays from leading Continental Philosophers of the past century. [Extracted from the article]

This chapter contains the most sustained interrogation of Kubrick's work and I was especially struck by Coëgnaarts's elaboration of screening relationships in this chapter. Maarten Coëgnarts's I Film as Embodied Art i is very much a book that buries the lede and honestly warrants rereading (or beginning with the concluding chapter) to fully grasp the fascinating consequences to understanding the dynamic between film viewer and filmmaker. This book approaches meaning-making in Stanley Kubrick's oeuvre from a cognitivist standpoint, elaborating image schemas, embodied metaphors and metonymies from which the viewer may construe a model of mental causation.

The paper discusses the Italian reception of Russian language poetry taking into account translations carried out between 1987 and 2022. The survey deals mainly with anthologies, journal issues devoted entirely or partially (but significantly) to Russian poetry, and single volumes of Russian poets translated into Italian entirely devoted to poets writing in Russian. With more than four hundred publications, it is clear Russian poetry has found a place in the Italian language. This is shown by the amount of poets who have appeared in Italian (and have been included in the table attached to the paper), and by the extensive bibliography placed in the repository of the journal “Studi Slavistici”.

Rarely is a book published with a specific focus on 'Female Psychology'—one of the three branches of the 'Psychology of Women' field of study. It is more common to see texts that focus on 'Feminine Psychology', and arguably the greatest number of texts in this area are in fact dedicated to 'Feminist Psychology'. This makes the annotated psychoanalytic bibliography, edited by Eleanor Schuker and Nadine A. Levinson a rare, but important resource. This book review assesses the re-printed text for its content and novel contribution to the field, but does so framing it in the wider context of studies into the Psychology of Women, the changing times, and the current landscape of similar research. Furthermore, this review frames the text in a wider psycho-socio-cultural academic debate about the similarities, differences, and conceptual meanings of the three (distinct) branches of: Feminist, Feminine, and Female Psychology; concluding the difference in origin of these schools of thought has allowed for their individualization and continued utility as separate areas of study into the Psychology of Women.

Kleine Schriften III, by Harry Falk, Haiyan Hu-von Hinüber and Walter Slaje, eds As the editors inform us (p. vii), on 18 February 2019 Prof. von Hinüber celebrated his 80th birthday, but there are few signs that he has even considered slowing down his scholarly engagement or output. In 2009, two large volumes (of some 1200 pages) of his Kleine Schriften were published.[1] It is little short of astonishing, then, that after a mere ten years has passed a third volume of wholly new material has appeared, containing an additional 704 pages of scholarship.

The volume "The Transnistrian Conflict Chronology" by Mihai Melintei, edited and printed by the ARMANIS Publishing House in Sibiu in 2018, represents the research product within the Laboratory for the Transnistrian Conflict Analysis (research structure of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu). The main goal of research is offering an analyzing and working instrument useful for both public interested in the Transnistrian problem and for those who has concerns in the area of the management of conflicts. We can read here the only achievement in the literature for the Transnistrian conflict, which links the event with a bibliographic source (written mainly in Romanian and Russian, but sometimes also in English or Ukrainian). And not just a source; each event has a tabular allocation for two, three or even four bibliographic sources - which gives the reader the opportunity to go to sources and deepen the subject matter of his interest, in a detailed, nuanced and objective manner. A final review of the bibliography used during the research, proposed by the author at the end of the paper, shows impressively: 1665 titles, which are books, studies, articles or documents. The book impresses throughout its dimension - to be more precisely, 450 pages in A4 format. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
