Close-Up: Reclaiming Blaxploitation in the Global Diaspora: \You Really Want to Mess with Whitey\: The Politics of Form in The Spook Who Sat by the Door
This essay explores the radical politics and possibilities of the film The Spook Who Sat by the Door through a close reading of film form, especially the ways the film subverts and re-purposes dominant codes and conventions for its own revolutionary messaging. I specifically examine the way Spook critically inhabits the codes of racial liberalism to expose how they operate to contain Black radical politics and coerce an identification with white supremacy and US imperialism. I then examine how the film flips the script to offer a Black radical cinematic space and perspective. To contextualize these operations, I provide a section on the history of racial liberalism and its relationship to Black radical internationalism. I also explore the film's relationship to the genre of Blaxploitation and argue for the ways the film mobilizes the language of the genre rather than rejecting it, as is commonly argued.

Rivers
A critically acclaimed, award-winning collection drawing sparkling prose from the inspiration of three rivers passing through different times and places. On the storm-swollen Aisne in northeastern France, an alcoholic actor combats both his demons and nature's tempests. Along the Main and Rhine in Germany, a kindhearted logger has but one wish: to travel with the lumber from his small Franconian hometown to the end of the river in the Netherlands, where it feeds into the majestic North Sea. In a bucolic vale in the French region of Brittany, two families, divided by religion and an unnamed stream, sustain a centuries-old feud, their resolve no match for the constantly shifting flow of water.

Peter Michael Martin's Corporeal Visions: Love, Death, and Democracy in Moby-Dick
Moby-Dick has been the near-exclusive focus of artist Peter Michael Martin's prolific output—in woodblock print, papercut, sculpture, and photograph—over the past decade. By examining Martin's depictions of bodies—in isolation, in pairs, in collectives—this essay provides a primer on Martin's recent works. The essay begins by considering Martin's portraits of Ishmael, Queequeg, and Ahab in two series of black-and-white photographs, Altered Visions and Call me Ahab. Altered Visions illustrates the union of Queequeg and Ishmael as their embrace transcends physical and social divisions. Call Me Ahab , conversely, emphasizes Ahab's solitude, as he communes only with the \"naught beyond\" (Melville 159). Juxtaposing scenes of intimacy with emblems of death, these works consider the body as a site of both connection and isolation, friendship and subjugation. The second half of this essay discusses two of Martin's larger-scale works (the mixed-media assemblage Trumped Up Optimism and the woodblock print Above the Rest ), designed for display in public spaces. These works depict bodies en masse as deindividuated crowds under the control of a sole leader, recasting the social visions of Ishmael and Ahab as a conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. Ultimately, I argue, in the nude form, Martin finds an allegory for artistic vulnerability, which enables the radical self-expression Melville champions through Ishmael. Thus, in his depictions of bodies, Martin probes tensions between individual and collective agency and advances \"Melvillean vulnerability\" as a strategy for social transformation.

What are the treatment effects of a work-first participation programme on young unemployed people in the Netherlands?
This paper evaluates the effects of the employment programme on young unemployed people in the Netherlands. The effectiveness of the programme is measured by probability of both re-employment and participation within the regular educational system. This evaluation is made in comparison to that of an individual who would continue seeking employment as an openly unemployed person. The effects of the programme are evaluated a year/two years following the start of the programme. We apply a propensity score matching method. The identification of an average treatment effect is based on the conditional independence assumption. The effects on re-employment probability and the probability of participation in the regular educational system are statistically negative, applicable to both long and short-term scenarios. nema
