  Subjective Realist Cinema

  From Expressionism to Inception

  Campora, M.

  “…identifies and defines a distinct group of films within contemporary complex narrative films, partly tracing historical antecedents, using a useful taxonomy for contemporary complex narrative films.” · Nitzan Ben Shaul, Tel Aviv University

  Subjective Realist Cinema looks at the fragmented narratives and multiple realities of a wide range of films that depict subjective experience and employ “subjective realist” narration, including recent examples such as Mulholland Drive, Memento, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The author proposes that an understanding of the narrative structures of these films, particularly their use of mixed and multiple realities, enhances viewers’ enjoyment and comprehension of such films, and that such comprehension offers a key to understanding contemporary filmmaking.

  Morality and Economic Growth in Rural West Africa

  Indigenous Accumulation in Hausaland

  Clough, P.

  Based on fieldwork conducted in two national economic cycles in Nigeria - the petroleum-boom prosperity (in 1977-1979), and the macro-economic decline (in 1985, 1996 and 1998) - this book unveils a new paradigm of economic change in the West African savannah, demonstrating how rural accumulation in a polygynous society actually limits the extent of inequality while at the same time promoting technical change.  A uniquely African non-capitalist trajectory of accumulation subordinates the acquisition of capital to the expansion of polygynous families, clientage networks, and circles of trading friends.  The whole trajectory is driven by an indigenous ethics of personal responsibility. This model disputes the validity of both Marxian theories of capitalist transformation in Africa and the New Institutional Economics.

  Exchange and Markets in Early Economic Development

  Informal Economy in the Three New Guineas

  Conroy, J. D.

  The idea of an informal economy emerged from, and is a critique of, the ideology of ‘economic development’. It originated from Keith Hart’s recognition of informal economic activity in 1960s Ghana. In the context of four colonialisms – German, British, Australian and Dutch – this book recounts Hart’s effort in 1972 to introduce the informal ‘sector’ into development planning in Papua New Guinea.
