Shanghai, long known as mainland China's most cosmopolitan city, is today a global cultural capital. This book offers the first in-depth examination of contemporary Shanghai-based art and design - from state-sponsored exhibitions to fashionable cultural complexes to cutting edge films and installations. Informed by years of in-situ research, the book looks beyond contemporary art's global hype to reveal the socio-political tensions accompanying Shanghai's transitions from semi-colonial capitalism to Maoist socialism to Communist Party-sponsored capitalism. Case studies reveal how Shanghai's global aesthetic constructs glamorising artifices that mask the conflicts between vying notions of foreign-influenced modernity and anti-colonialist nationalism, as well as the city's repressed socialist past and its consumerist present.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,7, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: James Bond. There is hardly a person in the Western world who has never heard of the almost mythical secret agent; who has never seen at least one movie or heard the famous quotation “Bond. James Bond”. The secret agent, originally invented by the British author Ian Fleming has almost become something like a brand: there is just one Bond out there. Or, in this case seven. Ever since Ian Fleming published the first novel starring who would become the world’s most famous spy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, there have been many different interpretations of the character that actually is James Bond. The factors that played a major role in this matter were dependant on a number of different aspects. Even though it is undisputable that, in the case of the movies, one of the factors is always the actor, there are a number of different aspects to be taken into consideration: cultural and historical ones.

Download and read online ebook The Signs of James Bond write by Daniel Ferreras Savoye. This book was released on 2013-02-27. The Signs of James Bond available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is an analysis of the most significant elements that compose the "Bond formula," such as names, binary oppositions and narrative patterns. It tackles Ian Fleming's novels as well as the 22 films of the Eon Productions series and follows the evolution of certain determining features (paradigms) from the text to the screen, to determine their function within the narration. This study reveals how the James Bond universe goes well beyond mere spy adventures to become a genre in itself as well as, now, a standard cultural reference. The book also shows that the underlying ideology of the James Bond narration is not as conservative as it might appear, for it promotes ideals of the Enlightenment period such as secularity, pragmatism and the common good.

This book was released on 2019-05-14. Shaken available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Readers can explore James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s writing on the pleasures of drinking and mix themselves fifty delicious cocktails from recipes inspired by his books and developed by award-winning London bar, Swift. Both Bond and Fleming were partial to a stiff drink. In both fiction and real life, cocktails were an important and well-chosen accompaniment to adventure and daring and often relaxing. Fleming made the Martini famous with Bond’s ritual of always ordering it “shaken, not stirred”. But in every James Bond book a wide selection of strong, sophisticated and carefully crafted drinks are essential details to the story. The recipes in Shaken are divided into five categories: Straight Up; On the Rocks; Tall; Fizzy; and Exotic. Sip on inventions such as Smersh, Moneypenny, That Old Devil M and Diamonds Are Forever, as well as classic Bond cocktails such as the Vesper—and, of course, the Dry Martini. Each recipe is illustrated by a stunning full-color photo of the drink and wonderful extracts from Fleming’s writing—taken from the passage where the drink was featured or a place, character, or plot that inspired it. Shaken features a foreword written by the novelist’s nephew, Fergus Fleming, as well as plenty of his writing on whisky, gin, rum, and other spirits.
