Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) is an enigma. A box-office failure when initially released on the grindhouse circuit, it has since been embraced by art-house audiences, and referenced in countless films, television series, and songs. A riot of styles and story clichés lifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, and beach party movies, it has the coherence of a dream, and the improvisatory daring of a jazz solo. John Waters has called it the greatest movie ever made, and Quentin Tarantino has long promised to remake it. But what draws them, and so many other cult fans to Pussycat? To help answer that question, this book looks at the production and critical reception of the film, its place within the cultural history of the 1960's, its representations of gender and sexuality, and the specific ways it meets the criteria of a cult film.

In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich die literaturwissenschaftlichen Fächer für kultur- und mediengeschichtliche Fragestellungen geöffnet. Das führt zu einer Erweiterung des Literaturbegriffs, zur Aufhebung der Differenz zwischen Hoch- und Populärkultur sowie zu neuen literatur- und medientheoretischen Überlegungen. Diesen Veränderungen geht die Anthologie exemplarisch an einem konkreten Beispiel nach: Im Zentrum der interdisziplinären Beiträge, die film- und literaturwissenschaftliche Aspekte mit kulturvergleichenden Ansätzen verbinden, steht Quentin Tarantinos Film »Kill Bill«. Mit Beiträgen von Gereon Blaseio und Claudia Liebrand, Martin Przybilski und Franziska Schößler, Rolf Parr, Georg Mein, Uwe Lindemann und Michaela Schmidt, Oliver Kohns und Paul Fleming. »›Unzensierter Tarantino-Style für Fans von Martial-Arts-Filmen der Luxusklasse‹. Achim Geisenhanslüke und Christian Steltz haben [den Sammelband] herausgegeben und eine Reihe Kultur- und GeisteswissenschaftlerInnen für ihn gewonnen, die ausnahmslos mit lesenswerten Beiträgen voller origineller ›Lesarten‹ des Films und erhellender Erkenntnisse aufwarten.« Rolf Löchel, www.literaturkritik.de, 11 (2006) Besprochen in: Jenniver Pavlik, IASL online MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2007), Andreas Kirchner epd Film, 1 (2007)

La 4e de couverture indique: "Livre culte dans le monde entier, Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur raconte l'histoire d'Atticus Finch, jeune avocat, qui élève seul ses deux enfants Jem et Scout. Lorsqu'il est commis d'office pour la défense d'un homme noir accusé d'avoir violé une femme blanche, la vie de la petite famille bascule. Nous sommes dans les années 1930, dans une petite ville de l'Alabama et certaines vérités peuvent être dangereuses à démontrer... Grâce au talent de Fred Fordham (notamment découvert en France grâce à Nightfall, paru chez Delcourt), ce roman graphique donne une nouvelle vie au chef d'oeuvre d'Harper Lee. L'illustrateur a exploré les lieux qui ont compté pour la mythique auteure américaine en se plongeant dans sa vie afin de s'approcher au plus près de son imaginaire. Fred Fordham offre un éclairage inédit du texte avec ce magnifique ouvrage qui renforce encore la modernité de l'oeuvre de Lee. Couronné par le prix Pulitzer en 1961, Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur est l'un des plus grands classiques de la littérature du xxème siècle.

Wireworms are major crop pests, and the withdrawal of insecticides such as neonicotinoids has made their control increasingly challenging. An attract and kill strategy, which combines an attractive chemical signal with an entomopathogenic fungus, presents a promising alternative for reducing wireworm populations and minimizing crop damage. This study aimed to evaluate the biocidal efficacy of various fungi, investigate the orientation behaviour of wireworms towards these fungi in the absence of additional attractants, and characterize their volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles. We hypothesised that specific fungi efficient at killing wireworms, could also attract them, through their VOCs. A second objective evaluated the effectiveness of the attract and kill formulation in protecting sugar beet crops under semi-controlled and field conditions, hypothesising a reduction in crop damage. Additionally, the safety of the formulation was tested on the non-target carabid beetle species Pterostichus melanarius, with the assumption that it would not increase morbidity or mortality. The results identified Metarhizium anisopliae NEW as the most effective fungus for killing wireworms. Moreover, M. anisopliae NEW and Trichoderma harzianum produced specific VOCs that attract wireworms. Results showed that the attract and kill formulation significantly enhanced foliar growth in sugar beet crops without negatively impacting the morbidity or mortality of carabid beetles. In conclusion, Metarhizium anisopliae NEW is a highly promising candidate for a biopesticide targeting wireworms while being non-harmful to non-target species, providing an effective solution for sustainable sugar beet cultivation. Les larves de taupins sont des ravageurs majeurs des cultures, et le retrait des insecticides tels que les néonicotinoïdes complique leur contrôle. Une stratégie attractante et tueuse, qui combine un signal chimique attractif et un champignon entomopathogène, constitue une alternative prometteuse pour réduire les populations de taupins et minimiser les dommages causés aux cultures. Cette étude visait à évaluer l'efficacité biocide de divers champignons, à étudier le comportement d'orientation des taupins vers ces champignons en l'absence d'attractifs supplémentaires et à caractériser leurs profils de composés organiques volatils (COV). Nous avons émis l'hypothèse que des champignons spécifiques efficaces pour tuer les taupins pouvaient également les attirer grâce à leurs COV. Un deuxième objectif consistait à évaluer l'efficacité de la formulation attract and kill dans la protection des cultures de betteraves sucrières dans des conditions semi-contrôlées et sur le terrain, en émettant l'hypothèse d'une réduction des dommages causés aux cultures. En outre, la sécurité de la formulation a été testée sur l'espèce de carabes non-cible Pterostichus melanarius, en supposant qu'elle n'augmenterait pas la morbidité ou la mortalité. Les résultats ont permis d'identifier Metarhizium anisopliae NEW comme le champignon le plus efficace pour tuer les taupins. De plus, M. anisopliae NEW et Trichoderma harzianum produisent des COV spécifiques qui attirent les larves de taupins. Les essais en champ ont démontré que la formulation attract and kill améliorait significativement la croissance foliaire des cultures de betteraves sucrières sans avoir d'impact négatif sur la morbidité ou la mortalité des carabes. En conclusion, Metarhizium anisopliae NEW combiné à un attractant ciblant les larves de taupins est un candidat très prometteur pour un biopesticide ciblant les taupins tout en étant non nocif pour les espèces non-cibles, ce qui constitue une solution efficace pour la culture durable de la betterave sucrière.

This title examines the most formative period in Eleanor Roosevelt's life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. Wilson takes care to show all the nuances and complexities of the women's relationship, which blended the political with the personal.
