Don Juan is one of the intriguing creations of Western literature. A legendary seducer of women, trickster and transgressor of sacred boundaries, he has been the object of countless revisions over the centuries. The twentieth-century has viewed the figure afresh through the prism of its own cultural terms of reference and social concerns. Using an interdisciplinary approach, 'Tales of Seduction' focuses on the intersections between myth, culture and intellectual inquiry. Sarah Wright takes Don Juan back to Spain, his birth-place, and examines the confluences of Spanish culture with aspects of...

There was a time that the idea of me writing this page in a book which I had authored would have been inconceivable. Then again, I never imagined that at forty-five I would be a widow. But, as this life would have it, here I am. Most importantly, I didn't know that losing someone so special in my life would lead me closer to God. But, praise the Lord, it did. Let me begin by thanking God for being my life-line and for being faithful to me and my children in this process. God's goodness and faithfulness brought me out of darkness and into His marvelous light. To my Friday morning bible study...

The average student loan debt for the class of 2013 exceeded $30,000. The...

Where is the place of the voice in film? Where others have focused on Hollywood film, this volume aims to extend the field to other cinemas from around the world, encompassing Latin America, Asia and Africa amongst others. Traditional theoretical accounts, based on classical narrative cinema, examine the importance of the voice in terms of a desired perfect match between visuals and sonic effects. But, as the chapters of this volume illustrate, what is normative in one film industry may not apply in another. The widespread practices of dubbing, postsynch sound and "playback singing" in...
