Gil Z. Hochberg, Becoming Palestine
No abstract available.
Be Wary of Anniversaries
The uprisings categorized as the “Arab Spring” were not spontaneous events. To make them seem so is to marginalize the lineage of activism that brought them into being. Within cinema, this decades-long struggle has been invigorated by militant manifesto writing, collective film production, and the development of viewing communities dedicated to Third World liberation, often infrastructurally supported by now vanquished nationalized post- and anti…
Re-citation and resuscitation from the archives of Arab revolution
From graffiti to festival films, revolutionary expression aligned to what is popularly labelled ‘the Arab Spring’ has made regular and sustained reference to film and other media from Egypt’s past. One moment in particular dominates, that of the mid to late 1960s, when explicitly anticolonial and revolutionary media was produced and widely disseminated across the Arab world, backed by largely state-run industries. Drawing on postcolonial Arab his…
Arab Film and Video Manifestos
Arab Film and Video Manifestos presents, in their entirety, five key documents that have fundamentally shaken up and helped change the face of image culture in the Middle East and beyond. The book collects together, for the first time, these influential, collectively written calls and directives that span a fifty-year period and hail from a range of different countries. Each urges a radical rethinking of film and video’s role in culture, its rela…
“Everyone’s Property”
Arab Cinema Travels
Exploring the impact of travel on Arab cinema, Kay Dickinson reveals how the cinemas of Syria, Palestine and Dubai have been shaped by the history and politics of international circulation. This compelling book offers fresh insights into film, mobility and the Middle East
Financial incentives in health
This paper studies the health effects of one of the world's largest demand-side financial incentive programmes--India's Janani Suraksha Yojana. Our difference-in-difference estimates exploit heterogeneity in the implementation of the financial incentive programme across districts. We find that cash incentives to women were associated with increased uptake of maternity services but there is no strong evidence that the JSY was associated with a red…

Off KeyWhen Film and Music Won't Work Together
In 'Off Key', Kay Dickinson offers a study of how certain alliances of music and film are judged aesthetic failures. The book expands the ways in which the union of the film and music businesses can be understood by moving beyond the score to incorporate analyses of rock 'n' roll movies, composer biopics, and pop stars' acting.

Hollywood Musicals, the Film Reader
Believe'? Vocoders, digitalised female identity and camp
In the two or so years since Cher's 'Believe' rather unexpectedly became the number one selling British single of 1998, the vocoder effect - which arguably snagged the track such widespread popularity - grew into one of the safest, maybe laziest, means of guaranteeing chart success. Since then, vocoder-wielding tracks such as Eiffel 65's 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' and Sonique's 'It Feels So Good' have held fast at the slippery British number one spot for…
