Book Description
This is the first volume of essays published on the television series Troy: Fall of a City (BBC One and Netflix, 2018). Covering a wide range of engaging topics, such as gender, race and politics, international scholars in the fields of classics, history and film studies discuss how the story of Troy has been recreated on screen to suit the expectations of modern audiences. The series is commended for the thought-provoking way it handles important issues arising from the Trojan War narrative that continue to impact our society today. With discussions centered on epic narrative, cast and character, as well as tragic resonances, the contributors tackle gender roles by exploring the innovative ways in which mythological female figures such as Helen, Aphrodite and the Amazons are depicted in the series. An examination is also made into the concept of the hero and how the series challenges conventional representations of masculinity. We encounter a significant investigation of race focusing on the controversial casting of Achilles, Patroclus, Zeus and other series characters with Black actors. Several essays deal with the moral and ethical complexities surrounding warfare, power and politics. The significance of costume and production design are also explored throughout the volume.

Book Description
Anlasslich des 10-jahrigen Jubilaums der JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION konzipiert der britische Kunstler Ed Atkins die Ausstellung GENERATION LOSS. DEr Begriff bezeichnet den Prozess der Qualitatsverschlechterung von Daten insbesondere infolge sich verandernder Technologien. DIeser Verlust von Qualitat manifestiert sich jedoch auch im ideologischen Sinne, im gesellschaftlichen Wandel von einer Generation zur nachsten. DEr Katalog greift diese Analogien auf und nimmt sich der Frage an, wie sich die Rezeption fur das Bewegtbild von den 1970er-Jahren bis heute verandert hat. NEben Video- und Filmstills enthalt der Katalog historisches Material der gezeigten Werke sowie Installationsansichten der Ausstellung.
