Print: $27.33 In this book Camelia Elias introduces key terms in feminist, queer, and postcolonial/diaspora film. Taking her point of departure in the question, “what do you want from me?” she detours through Lacanian theory of the gaze and reframes questions of subjectivity and representation in an entertaining entanglement of visual with textual poetics in film.

Print: $18.21 The present collection focuses on the use and function of titles in various cases of postmodern American and Scottish literature. While the postmodern may at first glance appear to seek to transcend the religious practices of yesteryear and associate itself with a distrust of grand narratives such as Christianity, it may as easily be claimed that much postmodern literature in fact investigates the interstices between narrative traditions and conventions, in order to explore what might be left of the sublime or mystical in narratives and in textuality per se.
The essays specifically engage with instances of titles and titling as may be termed problematic titling, conspicuous over-titling, limit titles, or meta-titles.

Print: $21.13 Celebrated American author Raymond Federman is 80 this year. The present volume, which is a collaboration between scholars at Aalborg and Roskilde University, marks this event in addition to introducing Federman to the general public. As Federman has given the editor, Camelia Elias, his permission “to use and abuse whatever you need and want from my work including my body,” she has not hesitated to do so. The result is a fascinating read. The volume features 4 scholarly essays and an inédit encounter between Federman and Elias, featuring both of these authors’ texts.

Print: $21.19 Derrida is still with us. Through his writings and his performances. This book offers a unique insight into Derrida's last years through analyses by 4 Danish scholars of Kirby Dick and Amy Kofman Ziering’s movie "Derrida" (2002). Derrida emerges not only as a wise man, but also as one who can touch our most sensitive cores. The four essays presented here end with a fifth text which is a dialogue between Bent Sørensen, the editor, who met Derrida immediately after 9/11, Camelia Elias, who personally knew Derrida, Steen Ledet Christiansen, who has never seen Derrida, and Søren Hattesen Balle, who personally tried to convince Derrida that he is a Romantic.

Print: $18.20 Download: $11.19 This volume of prose poems takes the reader through a journey which starts in the living-room. At the core of the collection are a number of Socratic dialogic exchanges between the main speaker of each poem and a number of other figures (fictional and non-fictional). The initiating conversations between a woman and a man continue through dialogues between the woman speaker and other voices (mainly academics and writers) and culminate with exchanges between the woman's voice and that of literary protagonists. There is an intended symmetry at work between the poems which are dedicated to real-life authors and the poems which are dedicated to fictional characters. The poems show how literature is entangled with the geography of being on more than one level.
