Enforcing silence : academic freedom, palestine and the criticism of Israel
Examines the institutional pressures, controversies, and suppression surrounding academic freedom and the discussion of Palestine within Western universities. Drawing on sociological research and case studies, the work analyzes how criticism of Israel is monitored, restricted, or penalized on campuses, exploring the broader political, legal, and ideological conflicts shaping free speech in higher education.
BOOK
The Routledge Companion to Film History
The Routledge Companion to Film History is an indispensable guide for anyone studying film history for the first time. The approach taken presents a substantial and readable overview of the field and provides students with a tool of reference that will be valuable throughout their studies.
The volume is divided into two parts. The first is a set of eleven essays that approaches film history around the following themes:
History of the moving image
Film as art and popular culture
Production process
Evolution of sound
Alternative modes: experimental, documentary, animation
Cultural difference
Film’s relationship to history
The second is a critical dictionary that explains concepts, summarizes debates in film studies, defines technical terms, describes major periods and movements, and discusses historical situations and the film industry. The volume as a whole is designed as an active system of cross-references: readers of the essays are referred to dictionary entries (and vice versa) and both provide short bibliographies that encourage readers to investigate topics.
