    Series Statement: Gender and Islam
    Content: Reporting Islam examines the coverage of Muslim women in the New York Times from 1979-2011. The analysis addresses the nature of the coverage; whether there are parallels in the depiction of Muslim women from the Middle East and South Asia and with the US government policies toward these countries; and the relationship between feminism in the US and the representation of Muslim women in the US. At a time when women often become the iconic representatives of their nations, their cultures and their religions, this book offers unique insight into how a dramatic period of contemporary history for the Middle East and South Asia was depicted by the leading print newspaper in the world. The coverage captures the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the rise of Islamist movements across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, the first Gulf War, the 9/11 events, the second Gulf War, the War on Terror, and the Arab uprisings. The book asks critical questions about the wider implications of the misrepresentation of Muslim women in the media, and the links between print news, US foreign policy and women.

    Creation and Creativity in Indigenous Lowland South America : Anthropological Perspectives (2023)

    Content: Investigating local Indigenous processes of creation and creativity, this book uses ethnographic and comparative anthropological perspectives to enquire about creative transformative practices in lowland South America. The volume shows how people create and reinforce their conditions of being by employing different genres of transgression and by creatively shifting contexts of significance. Local socio-cosmic orders, the interrelation of creative genres (myth, verbal art, song, ritual, and handicrafts), and their changing frames of reference (from communal celebrations to wider political and commercial realms) demonstrate the relational, generative, and processual quality of Amerindian creativity.

    Content: The "meantime" represents the gap between what is past and the unknown future. When considered as waiting, the meantime is defined as a period of suspension to be endured. By contrast, the contributors of this volume understand it as a space of "the possible" where calculation coexists with uncertainty, promises with disappointment, and imminence with deferral. Attending to the temporalities of emerging rather than settled facts, they put the stress on the temporal tactics, social commitments, material connections, dispositional orientations, and affective circuits that emerge in the meantime even in the most desperate times.

    Grandma, A Thousand Times (Teta, Alf Marra) (2015)

    Content: Grandma, A Thousand Times (also titled Teta, Alf Marra) is a poetic documentary that puts a feisty Beiruti grandmother at the center of brave film exercises concocted by her grandson to commemorate her many worlds before they are erased by the passage of time and her eventual death. Teta Kaabour is an 83-year old family matriarch and sharp-witted queen bee of an old Beiruti quarter. She's been gripped as of late by the silence of her once-buzzing household where she raised children and grandchildren. Resigned to Argileh smoking and day-long coffee drinking on a now-empty balcony, Teta now invokes the deepest memories of her violinist husband who died twenty years ago. She claims a preparedness to re-unite with him. Filmmaker Mahmoud Kaabour, Teta's favorite grandson and the bearer of his grandfather's full name, has also been pre-occupied for years with the memory of his grandfather. Prior to his death, the late violinist had audio taped heart-wrenching violin improvisations in the privacy of his room in that same flat. That music, along with the details of his long career playing with the Arab world's most famous divas, remains unpublished. The filmmaker's anguish is compounded at the thought that this personal and cultural heritage, as well as grandma's own stories, rare recipes, and naughty humor, will go with her when she parts this life. "Teta, Alf Marra" brings together grandfather, grandmother, and grandson in a playful magic-realist documentary that aims to defy a past death and a future one. It documents with great intimacy the larger-than-life character of Teta Kaabour, her telling of the trials of her violinist husband and his Beirut, as well as her imaginings of what awaits her beyond death. All while the filmmaker constantly switches roles between the film's silent creator, Teta's grandson in front of the camera, and a re-enactor of his late grandfather. Meanwhile, the deceased violinist circles them with his seven violin improvisations that serve as the impetus of the film and its soundtrack.

    The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers (2015)

    Content: In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, concludes that the war is based on decades of lies and leaks 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world. The Most Dangerous Man in America is a riveting story of how one man's profound change of heart created a landmark struggle involving America's newspapers, president and Supreme Court-- a political thriller whose events led directly to Watergate, Nixon's resignation and the end of the Vietnam War. "A great teaching tool! The Pentagon Papers controversy remains the key test of press freedom vs. national security and this film brilliantly lays out the competing claims with a rare combination of objectivity and passion." Robert Scheer, Journalist and Professor of Communications, University of Southern California

    Content: If you are arrested in New York City and can't make bail, Rikers Island will be your new home. Most young men in New York City have a better chance of going to Rikers Island than they do of going to college. Lock-Up: The Prisoners of Rikers Island profiles the world's largest jail, with 20,000 inmates it is a city within a city. But in this city 90% of the inhabitants are black or hispanic, only 10% have graduated from high school, 20% are HIV positive, 25% test positive for tuberculosis, and 70% are there for drug-related crimes. The residents of Rikers are murderers, thieves and pick-pockets. Entire cell blocks are filled with pregnant women; specific jails are reserved for gay inmates. Solitary confinement is a special place for inmates like Eddie White, who has already escaped three times. Another man, an HIV+ addict named Jimmy, was born in jail to a drug addicted mother and is likely to die in jail, too. A night at Rikers comes with a high price tag, ultimately costing taxpayers more than a night in the Waldorf Astoria. And, it's not effective: 70% of the inmates are back in Rikers within 2 years of their release. Yet one billion dollars has been spent adding landfill to build more cells. Painting an uncompromising picture of America's "criminal justice" system, this gripping documentary will provoke serious discussion about our society's distribution of resources. Is this vast penal institution truly America's best solution to crime?

    Content: Composed in 1988, premiered in 1991, The Celtic Mass for the Sea has become a contemporary choral classic. Combining a chamber string orchestra and choir with a Celtic ensemble of harp, pipes, mandolin, fiddle and guitars, the Mass is an exuberant celebration of the teeming life in the waters covering our planet - and a warning of the dangers of abusing it. The libretto is based on ancient Celtic incantation and prayers that express startlingly-modern environmental concerns. Since its premiere, the Mass has been performed at least once every year in various parts of Canada. It received a standing ovation at its New York premiere at Carnegie Hall in June of 2002, and it has since been performed in many other countries, including Switzerland, the United States and the United Kingdom. It has become a particular favourite in Germany, where it has been presented at least ten times, and it continues to be a bestseller on the Marquis Classics label, having sold more than 20,000 copies.

    Content: "Recommended. Pictures of the Naskapi people and the harsh landscape are strikingly detailed. The faces and expressions are vivid and clear." -EMRO Review "Some of the artifacts Cabot gathered, including a drum, a bow and arrow, caribou-skin mittens and a pouch, and moccasins, are on display at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. His journals and photographs form an invaluable anthropological record of the region's native people before they lost much of their traditional culture." -Harvard Magazine William Brooks Cabot (1858-1949) was born in Brattleboro, Vermont, of a prosperous banking family, and lived primarily around Boston, where he was an eminent engineer. He is remembered for having designed a number some of the most technologically advanced projects of his day, including bridges over the Charles River in Boston. Massachusets, and others in Connecticut, miles of the Catskill aqueduct in upper New York that brought water to New York City, and subway tunnels under Times Square in Manhattan. Yet Cabot also had another love; for years he would escape city life and the demands of engineering to explore the wild waterways and native lands of northern Canada. He made annual trips from 1903 - 1910 to Labrador, Canada, to meet the Innu, then known as the Naskapi, native people - an almost mythical band of caribou hunters who had minimal contact with the outside world. He mapped their routes, visited their hunting camps, kept a journal, which eventually became his book, In Northern Labrador, which was published in 1912, and photographed what he could of the native people's life that changed dramatically when the caribou disappeared. This fascinating documentary is an account of that stunning record of Innu life at that time.

    Content: Escape to Life: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story, the result of a remarkable pairing between fiction and non-fiction filmmakers, depicts an even more remarkable relationship. Erika and Klaus Mann, the brilliant eldest children of German author Thomas Mann, claimed to be identical twins, despite being born more than a year apart and of different genders. Living under the shadow of Hitler's rise, Erika and Klaus were intellectuals, homosexuals, and pacifists who lived as exiles. Erika was an actress whose satirical revues were censored throughout Europe. Klaus was a self-doubting writer whose banned novel, Mephisto, didn't become a bestseller until long after his suicide. Filled with contradictions, their fascinating lives stand as a testament to the power of the individual "" and art "" against the forces of history. Weiss and Speck weave a seamless blend of dramatic scenes, compelling interviews (including Mann's youngest daughter), and amazing archival footage. "It's a stimulating ride, and an often witty one." -- Brandon Judell, PlanetOut "Intriguing moving documentary" -- D.N., Film Journal International "Brilliant! A stranger-than-fiction tale of fascinating lives in a troubled time." -- Loren King, The Boston Globe "An imaginative, insightful exploration of the lives and times of two of Thomas Mann's children... The voicing by the Redgraves is an inspired stroke, underscoring the Manns' rivalry and intimacy." -- Gareth Evans, TIME OUT London "An especially interesting documentary... that illustrates the human fates as well as the dictates of history."-- Jukka Kajava, Helsinki (Finland) Sanomat Awards and Screenings Cinema Jury Award, Best Documentary Feature, Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2001 South Carolina Arts Commissions Southern Circuit Laemmle Theatres Documentary Days, California Zeitgeist Theater Experiment, New Orleans Quad Cinema, New York Coolidge Corner, Boston Museum of Modern Art, New York City Atlantic Film Festival Valladolid International Film Festival Spain Warsaw International Film Festival Poland Bergen International Film Festival Norway Jerusalem International Film Festival Outfest Directors Guild of America Los Angeles Seattle International Film Festival San Francisco International Gay and lesbian Film Festival Double Take Documentary Film Festival Duke University Durham NC Inside Out Film and Video Festival Toronto Human Rights Watch International Film Festival London Berlin International Film Festival Rotterdam International Film Festival Hof Film Days, Germany
