Language and Conflict Selected Issues Karol Janicki, University of Bergen, Norway
'Language and Conflict is a fascinating trip into the power of language in engendering or averting conflict and in promoting peace. Once again, Karol Janicki reveals his profound concern for a linguistics that is sensitive to social problems, one that offers a new perspective on how meaning creation can have broad-ranging social repercussions. Through various riveting examples, he illustrates how aspects of this process may be used in developing greater tolerance, open-mindedness and peaceful co-existence, starting with the very young. Written in a highly engaging and accessible style, it is undoubtedly an essential introductory text for students of linguistics and communication, but also an ideal read for anybody interested in language in use.' - Maria Sifianou, University of Athens, Greece An entertaining and accessible guide for students taking an undergraduate course in discourse analysis or sociolinguistics.

BFI FILM CLASSICS
The Birth of a Nation
The BFI Film Classics series introduces, interprets and celebrates landmarks of world cinema. Each volume offers an argument for the film's 'classic' status, together with discussion of its production and reception history, its place within a genre or national cinema, an account of its technical and aesthetic importance, and in many cases, the author's personal response to the film.
Paul McEwan, Muhlenberg College, USA The Birth of a Nation is widely considered to be the most controversial film of all time. Published on the 100th anniversary of its release, this richly detailed study recounts the film's development and historical context and traces tensions between art and racism that have made this the only film to have an unbroken decade of reception history.
The Sound of Music Caryl Flinn, University of Michigan, USA A half-century after its release, The Sound of Music remains the most profitable and recognisable film musical ever made. Foregrounding the film's iconic musical numbers as key to its global longevity and appeal, Caryl Flinn's fresh new study traces the film's prehistories, its place amongst the events of the 1960s, and its afterlife amongst fans.

Toy Story
Head-On (Gegen die Wand) Tom Kemper, University of Southern California, USA
Daniela Berghahn, University of London, UK
The first computer-generated animated feature film, Toy Story (1995) sustains a dynamic vitality that appeals to audiences of all ages. This lively study explores how its depiction of a glimmering commercial world both deconstructs and affirms modern popular culture and in doing so provides a distinctive alternative to the usual Disney formula.
The award-winning love story Head-On (2004) has been embroiled in TurkishGerman identity politics since its release. Opening up fresh lines of enquiry, Daniela Berghahn's detailed and entertaining account of the film's production history and reception instead situates the film in the rich context of global art cinema and transnational melodrama.

HISTORY

The Bicycle - Towards a Global History
Existentialism and Romantic Love Skye Cleary, Columbia University, USA
Paul Smethurst, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong The modern bicycle is favoured as a sustainable form of transport, while also reinventing itself as a chic and sportive fashion object, and a generic protest vehicle. With contradictory strands like these, the bicycle's cultural history is a rich subject for cross-cultural study. This is the first history of the bicycle to trace not only the technical background to its invention, but also to contrast its social and cultural impact in different parts of the world, and assess its future as a continuing global phenomenon.
