Les morts iront tous voter est le titre d¿une pièce qui représente des scènes vivantes retraçant les combines que les pouvoirs en Afrique, et notamment au Congo, pratiquent pour arriver à leurs fins. L¿exemple pris par la pièce est celui d¿une campagne présidentielle où le personnage principal, Nzambi, cherche à se faire réélire, mais les sondages le désignent comme le futur perdant. Et comme tous les moyens sont bons pour celui qui gouverne, il en use pour gagner, c¿est pourquoi il s¿en prend aux morts pour qüils assurent leur devoir de citoyens¿Dans cette pièce, Kamanda réaffirme sa continuité dans la dénonciation de pratiques malsaines qui continuent à transformer le vécu africain en une tragédie permanente. C¿est pourquoi, l¿allégorie aidant, il use d¿une écriture atypique, où le réel est mêlé au virtuel avec un mixage du naturel et du surnaturel pour montrer, certainement, que les codes de la déontologie ne servent plus à grand-chose de même que les limites n¿existent plus dans la pensée humaine.

Este libro profundiza en los intrincados componentes de las artes comerciales -líneas, trazos, forma, composición y luz-, cruciales para comunicar la identidad y las emociones de una marca. Explora la evolución de la representación de la figura humana en el arte de los nuevos medios, desde las técnicas tradicionales a las digitales. La narración despliega la esencia de la supervivencia y la comunicación a través del viaje del grabado, destacando su papel en la difusión de ideas a lo largo de la historia. Desde las plantillas manuales prehistóricas hasta las impresiones digitales contemporáneas, los grabados surgen como embajadores globales de la estética cultural, fomentando la evolución colectiva. El mural de Benode Behari Mukherjee, "Paisaje de Birbhum", ejemplifica la cualidad inmersiva del arte, que exige el compromiso y la exploración del espectador. El capítulo también desentraña las obras transformadoras de Joseph Beuys y Santiago Sierra, que desafían las normas sociales a través de la "Escultura social", presentando una nueva era en la que el arte influye en todos los aspectos de la vida. La creación de mitos de Beuys y la crítica de Sierra redefinen colectivamente el papel del arte, instando a los lectores a reflexionar sobre las normas sociales a través de la lente de la creatividad.

Elckerlijc is de bekendste en beste moraliteit (een didactisch-allegorisch toneelspel) uit de middeleeuwen en een hoogtepunt uit de Nederlandse letterkunde. Ruim vijf eeuwen na dato is het toneelstuk nog steeds boeiend voor de moderne lezer of toeschouwer, omdat de boodschap en moraal tijdloos zijn. Het stuk is in vele talen vertaald en bewerkt en wordt nog vaak opgevoerd.Elckerlijc (= iedereen) wordt gedagvaard om voor God rekenschap af te leggen van zijn leven. Hij realiseert zich dan dat hij een zondig leven heeft geleid en niets goeds heeft gedaan. Niemand wil met hem mee op zijn pelgrimstocht naar het hiernamaals. Zelfs zijn vrienden en familieleden laten hem in de steek. Alleen het personage Deugd blijft hem trouw. Samen met haar stapt hij in het graf, waarna zijn ziel in de hemel wordt opgenomen.Deze uitgave van de neerlandicus Robert Castermans is geschikt voor middelbare scholieren, studenten Nederlands en iedereen die dit prachtige toneelstuk wil lezen zonder afgeleid te worden door verklarende voetnoten.'een werk dat tot de Wereldliteratuur kan worden gerekend' ¿ prof. dr. A. van Elslander'Elckerlijc, een geschenk aan de wereldliteratuur' ¿ prof. dr. Bart Ramakers

Bloody Women traces changing gender dynamics in the horror film industry to explore how women have played a crucial role in defining the genre of horror understood as a scholarly discipline, cultural institution, and site of pleasure. While acknowledging that women in the industry face ongoing challenges, this book focuses on their diverse contributions as creators, consumers, and critics of horror, showing how women have been essential in shaping the goals and methods of the genre. Aimed at both scholarly and general readers, the chapters bring together the expertise of filmmakers, festival programmers, and scholars to argue that women have effected a reimagining of horror. To this end, the volume considers a range of historical and theoretical issues relevant to gender and the genre of horror, broadly conceived. The collection explores, for example, female-directed horror films as a distinctive enterprise, one that is potentially marked by unique cinematic techniques and topical concerns. The book also moves into a more public domain, probing how the cultural experience of horror is transformed when the genre's major festivals and conventions are developed and directed by women. Together, these essays offer a wide-ranging investigation into the stakes of women's growing prominence in the horror industry. Most centrally, Bloody Women analyzes how the ethics, investments, and objectives of the genre shift when women deploy horror for their own enjoyment.
