This book is the first of its kind to trace the development of one of the largest and most important companies in British cinema history, EMI Films. From 1969 to its eventual demise in 1986, EMI would produce many of the key works of seventies and eighties British cinema, ranging from popular family dramas like The Railway Children (Lionel Jeffries, 1970) through to critically acclaimed arthouse successes like Britannia Hospital (Lindsay Anderson, 1982). However, EMI’s role in these productions has been recorded only marginally, as footnotes in general histories of British cinema. The reasons for this critical neglect raise important questions about the processes involved in the creation of cultural canons and the definition of national culture. This book argues that EMI’s amorphous nature as a transnational film company has led to its omission from this history and makes it an ideal subject to explore the ‘limits’ of British cinema.

At the end of the Civil War, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman was surprisingly more popular in the newly defeated South than he was in the North. Yet only thirty years later, his name was synonymous with evil and destruction in the South. Here, historian Wesley Moody examines these perplexing contradictions and how they and others function in past and present myths about Sherman. Demon of the Lost Cause reveals the machinations behind the Sherman myth and the reasons behind the acceptance of such myths, no matter who invented them. In the case of Sherman's own mythmaking, Moody postulates that his motivation was to secure a military position to support his wife and children. For the other Sherman mythmakers, personal or political gain was typically the rationale. In tracing Sherman's ever-changing reputation, Moody sheds light on current and past understanding of the Civil War through the lens of one of its most controversial figures.--From publisher description.

It's 2047 in Dayton, Ohio. In response to food and water shortages, the U.S. government has developed an enormous, and powerfully successful, agricultural area-the "Heartland Grid"-just north of the city. In the meantime, in the wake of declining American power a multinational force has established itself in Cleveland. Behind these quickly shifting alliances lies a troubling yet tantalizing question: what will the American future look like? Sharp and Dangerous Virtues is the story of ordinary people caught in situations they had never planned for or even imagined. There are Chad and Sharis,

The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways inwhich dissonant pasts, rather than being "forgotten histories", persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with constructions of "place" and "identity", has been shaped by legacies of transatlantic slavery itself, as well as other events, contexts andphenomena along its trajectory, revealing the ways in which current narratives and debate around difficult histories have histories of their own. By the 21st century, Liverpool, once the "slaving capital of the world", had more permanent and long-lasting memory work relating to transatlantic slaverythan any other British city. The long history of how Liverpool, home to Britain's oldest continuous black presence, has publicly "remembered" its own slaving past, how this has changed over time and why, is of central significance and relevance to current and ongoing efforts to face contestedhistories, particularly those surrounding race, slavery and empire.

On November 20, 1989, the United Nations General Assembly ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. How is the evolution of the socio-legal status of the child that resulted in this Convention understood as well as the attitudes and strategies of stakeholders during the twentieth century? Through this book, Zoe Moody fills an important gap in the study of children's rights by analyzing for the first time the processes of genesis, institutionalization, and distribution of treaties on children's rights from a historical and transnational perspective. Le 20 novembre 1989, l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies ratifiait la Convention relative aux Droits de l’Enfant, convention qui allait rapidement connaître un écho mondial auprès des chefs d’État comme de la société civile. Comment comprendre l’évolution du statut socio-juridique de l’enfant qui a abouti à cette Convention ainsi que les attitudes et les stratégies des acteurs concernés durant le XXe siècle ? Bien que l’évolution du statut de l’enfant soit souvent perçue comme un processus linéaire, sa mise en perspective historique montre au contraire les tensions et les controverses qui nourrissent les conceptions de l’enfance, de l’enfant et de ses droits. Les droits de l’enfant se développent au travers de subtils jeux de pouvoir et d’échelles entre les contextes nationaux et inter-nationaux et par le biais de réseaux d’acteurs. Ceux-ci portent la question de l’enfance et de ses droits au coeur des organisations inter- et non-gouvernementales, leur donnant une dimension nouvelle. À travers cet ouvrage, Zoe Moody comble une lacune importante de l’étude des droits de l’enfant en analysant pour la première fois les processus de genèse, d’institutionnalisation et de diffusion des traités relatifs aux droits de l’enfant dans une perspective historique et transnationale. Une attention particulière est portée aux acteurs qui contribuent à ces processus de même qu’aux problèmes éducatifs qu’ils soulèvent. La mise en dialogue de ces traités est réalisée à la lumière des sources archivistiques inédites, conservées par les organisations internationales.

For decades, T cells were thought to solely respond to protein-derived antigens. However, the discovery of the CD1 antigen presenting system shows how antigen presenting cells can display lipid antigens to T cells. Crystal structures show that CD1 proteins accomplish this function by inserting lipids into a hydrophobic groove on the distal surface of the protein, forming CD1-lipid complexes that act as ligands for T cell receptors. CD1-reactive T cells with conserved (NK T cells) or diverse T cell receptors possess cytokine secretion and other effector mechanisms that influence many aspects of immune response. There is increasing evidence that the CD1 system has been conserved throughout mammalian evolution and is capable of presenting structurally diverse diacyglycerol, sphingolipid, polyisoprenol and lipopeptide antigens. These features of CD1 antigen presentation systems now point to a new and expanded view of the natural function of ab T cells, which involves surveillance of both the protein and lipid components of target cells. Further, cellular systems that were previously considered to have functions in lipid metabolism can now be studied in context of their immunological functions. This volume provides a comprehensive discussion of these basic aspects of CD1 biology and summarizes the most recent research into the role of CD1 in infectious, autoimmune, allergic and neoplastic disease.
