Reframing Italy fills this gap. The book introduces readers to films and documentaries by recognized women directors such as Cristina Comencini, Wilma Labate, Alina Marazzi, Antonietta De Lillo, Marina Spada, and Francesca Comencini, as well as to filmmakers whose work has so far been undeservedly ignored....

In addition, it is a handy reference work for...

Die titel van Gibson se vyfde bundel verwys na die Vrystaatse ruimte waarin die digter grootgeword het en steeds woon, maar dit dui ook op die ontglippende aard van betekenis, selfs te midde van die alledaagse ervaring van die gesinslewe, die spreker se lewe as mediese dokter en sy jeugherinneringe. Soos in Gibson se vorige bundels is daar gedigte wat intense intellektuele betrokkenheid eis voor dit die leser ryklik beloon, maar daar is ook heelwat gedigte wat onmiddellik tref, en liefdesgedigte...

Verdieping 4, 14, 24, 34 en 40 tot 49 ontbreek in dié wolkekrabbers. Baie mense in China, Korea en Japan ly aan tetrafobie en het...
