Realism in Greek cinema : from the post-war period to the present
This book explores the development of post-1945 Greek cinema focusing on the work of some of its most influential and internationally known film-makers. After examining the foundational historical and stylistic questions of Greek cinematic tradition, it discusses the work of Michael Cacoyannis, the first director who brought Greek cinema to international repute with his famous films Stella, Electra, Zorba the Greek amongst others. After him, the book presents for the first time in English the seminal work of Nikos Koundouros probably the most innovative and versatile film-maker of the country. Together with them, Yannis Dalialidis was the most commercially successful and prolific director of the Golden Age of Greek cinema during the sixties. His underestimated work is discussed with special emphasis on films made between 1965 and 1975. Any discussion of Greek cinema would have been incomplete without mentioning the work of its most celebrated auteur Theo Angelopoulos. The analysis gives foregrounds his use of colour, mise-en-scene and continuity from his early political films to his later incomplete projects. After him, the book explores the diversity of cinematic styles that thrived in the country especially during the seventies. The work of Antouanetta Angelidi gives the opportunity to study women's cinema and the local tradition of experimental or poetic film-makers. Finally, the book explores contemporary Greek film-makers, in an era when the Greek society is experiencing one of its greatest crises.

Power, Judgment and Political Evil
In an interview with Günther Gaus for German television in 1964, Hannah Arendt insisted that she was not a philosopher but a political theorist. Disillusioned by the cooperation of German intellectuals with the Nazis, she said farewell to philosophy when she fled the country. This book examines Arendt's ideas about thinking, acting and political responsibility, investigating the relationship between the life of the mind and the life of action that preoccupied Arendt throughout her life. By joining in the conversation between Arendt and Gaus, each contributor probes her ideas about thinking and judging and their relation to responsibility, power and violence. An insightful and intelligent treatment of the work of Hannah Arendt, this volume will appeal to a wide number of fields beyond political theory and philosophy, including law, literary studies, social anthropology and cultural history.
