Film Music in the Sound Era: A Research and Information Guide offers a comprehensive bibliography of scholarship on music in sound film (1927–2017). Thematically organized sections cover historical studies, studies of musicians and filmmakers, genre studies, theory and aesthetics, and other key aspects of film music studies. Broad coverage of works from around the globe, paired with robust indexes and thorough cross-referencing, make this research guide an invaluable tool for all scholars and students investigating the intersection of music and film.

A decir de Juan Alberto Apodaca en el prólogo de esta publicación, las experiencias cinematográficas dispuestas en este libro invitan a sus lectores a evidenciar la diversidad del documental mexicano contemporáneo como pieza artística, como propuesta política, como rastros de realidad nunca total, pero que en su parcialidad detonan y complejizan los puntos de vista de realizadores, de investigadores y del público que, en esas historias nos reflejamos nosotros mismos en una búsqueda permanente de sentido ante la apabullante realidad que nos atraviesa.
La relevancia que a lo largo de la historia ha tenido el rock en el cine, ha dado pauta para considerarlo un elemento clave de la narrativa cinematográfica en el sonido, la música, el guion, el montaje y la imagen en sí; es decir, el rock ha configurado una estética fílmica. En tal sentido, este libro se propone realizar un análisis sobre el rol que en México ha jugado este género musical en los momentos en que se ha incorporado al cine, tomando en cuenta dos épocas claves en la historia de este país tanto para el cine como para el rock: la década de los ochenta y la transición al nuevo milenio.
Motivados por el 50 aniversario de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación, este libro es el resultado del trabajo de académicos del ITESO y de su Departamento de Estudios Socioculturales que, de manera comprometida y profesional, asumieron la pertinencia de objetivar y compartir los desafíos que a lo largo de medio siglo ha enfrentado la apuesta de formación universitaria de comunicadores en la Universidad.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
