Las experiencias de los jugadores son, ahora, el centro de los debates gamers en los foros más profundos de la deep web, pero sus usuarios no parecen ponerse de acuerdo: ¿era un juego de horror para frikis, una puesta en escena inmoral o un ejercicio poético? ¿Son tan hondas y retorcidas como parecen las entrañas de esa habitación? Seis jóvenes comparten un piso en Barcelona. En sus habitaciones se gestan actividades tan inquietantes y turbias como la escritura de una novela pornográfica, el deseo frustrado de autocastración o el desarrollo de diseños para la demoscene, subcultura informática artística. En sus espacios privados se explora el territorio de los cuerpos, de la mente y de la infancia. Mirillas hacia lo abyecto que los conecta al proceso de creación de un videojuego de culto.

"The Story of Atlantis" and "The Lost Lemuria" are two pieces by W. Scott-Elliot, a Theosophist and an associate of Madame H.P. Blavatsky and Henry Steele Olcott in the early days of the Theosophical Society. The Theosophists believed they were descendants of the Aryans, and that the Aryans had originally come from Atlantis. Atlantis and Lemuria (also called Mu) were continents in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that were supposedly destroyed in great catastrophes in prehistoric days and sank beneath the sea. They were said to be highly advanced civilizations, capable of many things not possible in later days. Scott-Elliot expands on the work of Ignatius Donelly, whose "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World" started the subsequent craze on the topic, and adds an imaginative Theosophic history of the Earth, including details of the Theosophic concept of human evolution and everyday life in old Atlantis and Lemuria.

Two particular perspectives inform this wide-ranging and richly illustrated survey of the art produced in England, or by English artists, between c. 600 and c.1100, in a variety of media, manuscripts, stone and wooden sculpture, ivory carving, textiles, and architecture. Firstly, from a post-colonial angle, it examines the way art can both create and narrate national and cultural identity over the centuries during which England was coming into being, moving from Romano-Britain to Anglo-Saxon England to Anglo-Scandinavian England to Anglo-Norman England. Secondly, it treats Anglo-Saxon art as works of art, works that have both an aesthetic and an emotional value, rather than as simply passive historical or archaeological objects. This double focus on art as an aesthetic vehicle and art as an active political force allows us to ask questions not only about what makes something a work of art, but what makes it endure as such, as well as questions about the work that art does in the creation of peoples, cultures, nations and histories. Professor Catherine Karkov teaches in the School of Fine Art, University of Leeds.

Jung, schön, exhibitionistisch: Die Modelle haben alle eines gemeinsam - sie lieben den Sex. Allein oder zu zweit, mit einem Freund oder einer Freundin. Was sie aber alle am meisten mögen, ist, dabei von einem Fotografen beobachtet zu werden, der ihre feuchte Lust für die ganze Welt in aufregenden Bildern festhält. Der vorliegende Bildband zeigt uns Paare und Frauen, allein oder zu zweit, die sich fotografieren lassen wollen, weil es sie erregt. Ihre Libido wird durch die Anwesenheit der Kamera verstärkt, ihre Fantasie gerade dadurch angeregt, dass sie beim Orgasmus beobachtet werden. Durch die Anwesenheit des Objektivs werden sie wagemutig.
Writing A Novel is not a set of rules and regulations. It is an atlas, a guide to finding your own way over the treacherous passes of your first novel. Pulling together his years of experience as a novelist and a teacher, Richard Skinner covers the basics of writing great fiction - narrators, characters, settings - with charm and rigour. But more than that, he argues that the journey towards a final manuscript is as important as the finished article itself. His approach works: many of Richard's students have gone on to secure publishing deals and many more have left his courses with work to be proud of. With its balance of warmth and wisdom, Writing a Novel will give any aspiring writer the confidence to face the blank page -- and to fill it.

This book investigates the specific conception and descent of a language of 'degeneration' from 1848–1918, with particular reference to France, Italy and England.

While Emilio Villa (1914-2003) was referred to as Zeus because of his greatness and Rabelais because of his mental voracity, for decades his work remained in oblivion, only recently surfacing to reveal him to be one of the most formidable figures of the Italian Novecento, if not of world culture. His marginalization was in part self-inflicted, due to his sibylline nature if not to his great erudition, which gave rise to a poetics so unconventional that few knew what to make of it: a biblicist who composed experimental verse in over ten different languages, including tongues from Milanese dialect and Italian to French, Portuguese, ancient Greek, and even Sumerian and Akkadian. As Andrea Zanzotto declared, "From the very beginning, Villa was so advanced that, even today, his initial writings or graphemes appear ahead of the times and even the future, suspended between a polymorphous sixth sense and pure non-sense." In merging his background as a scholar, translator, and philologist of ancient languages with his conception of poetics, Villa creates the sensation that, when reading his work, we are coming into contact with language at its origins, spoken as if for the first time, with endless possibilities. Whether penning verse, translating Homer's Odyssey, or writing on contemporary or primordial art, Villa engages in a paleoization of the present and a modernization of the past, wherein history is abolished and interpretation suspended, leaving room only for the purely generative linguistic act, one as potent today as it was eons ago. This volume of Villa's multilingual poetry ranges across his entire writing life and also includes selections from his translation of the Bible, his writings on ancient and modern art, and his visual poetry. Presented in English for the very first time, The Selected Poetry of Emilio Villa also contains material that is rare even to Italian readers. In adhering to the original notion of poetry as making, Villa acts as the poet-faber in tandem with his readers, creating une niche dans un niche for them to enter and create within, as if language itself were an eternal and infinite void in which creation remains an ever possible and continuously new event. * As the universe expands and its galaxies grow further apart with a speed proportionate to their respective distances, so does the linguistic universe of Emilio Villa. - Adriano Spatola
