Drawing together the work of ten leading playwrights - a mixture of established and emerging writers - this National Theatre Connections anthology is published to coincide with the 2014 festival, which takes place across the UK and finishes up at the National Theatre in London. It offers young performers between the ages of thirteen and nineteen everywhere an engaging selection of plays to perform, read or study. Each play is specifically commissioned by the National Theatre''s literary department with the young performer in mind. The plays are performed by approximately 200 schools and youth theatre companies across the UK and Ireland, in partnership with multiple professional regional theatres where the works are showcased. As with previous anthologies, the volume will feature an introduction by Anthony Banks, Associate Director of the National Theatre Discover Programme, and each play includes notes from the writer and director addressing the themes and ideas behind the play, as well as production notes and exercises. The National Theatre Connections series has been running for nineteen years and the anthology that accompanies it, published for the last three years by Methuen Drama, is gaining a greater profile by the year. Some iconic plays have grown out of the Connections programme including Citizenship by Mark Ravenhill, Burn by Deborah Gearing, Chatroom by Enda Walsh, Baby Girl by Roy Williams, DNA by Dennis Kelly, and The Miracle by Lin Coghlan. The series has a recognisable brand and the anthologies continue to be an extremely useful resource, their value extending well beyond their year of publication. This year''s anthology includes plays by Sabrina Mahfouz, Simon Vinnicombe, Catherine Johnson, Pauline McLynn, Dafydd James, Luke Norris and Sam Holcroft.

digitali Paul Grainge Catherine Johnson Trailer cinematografici, promo televisivi, pubblicità, video «brandizzati» e contenuti realizzati apposta per vendere un prodotto occupano uno spazio sempre maggiore: circolano in abbondanza nei luoghi digitali e sono condivisi sui social, colonizzano ampie porzioni del tempo che passiamo davanti a uno schermo (grande o piccolo, statico o mobile). Industrie della promozione e schermi digitali è dedicato a tutte queste forme testuali che crescono ai margini dei film e dei programmi televisivi, contribuendo a sottolinearne il valore o intrecciandosi inestricabilmente con la loro fruizione. In particolare, l''analisi di Grainge e Johnson si concentra sulle industrie e sulle culture della produzione di questi contenuti promozionali, studiando il ruolo sempre più importante di tutti gli intermediari – dalle agenzie pubblicitarie agli specialisti della promozione televisiva, dalle società di marketing digitale ai professionisti dei trailer – che collaborano o competono tra loro in uno scenario solo apparentemente marginale, ma in realtà denso, fluido e in continua evoluzione. Attraverso numerose interviste realizzate tra Regno Unito, Stati Uniti e Cina, si mette in evidenza come le logiche promozionali, al contempo creative e industriali, costituiscano insieme un''opportunità e un rischi, e si mostra come nell''attuale scenario digitale i confini tra i contenuti e la loro promozione siano sempre più sfuggenti. Questo volume è stato realizzato grazie alla collaborazione con Tivù S.r.l.

Nur einer hochbegabten Autistin wie Temple Grandin konnte es gelingen, das Verhalten von Tieren so genau zu beobachten und zu analysieren, dass sie mehr uber sie verstand als die meisten anderen Menschen. Denn Tiere sind uns ahnlich, viel mehr, als wir bislang dachten. Temple Grandin gehort zu den wenigen Autisten, denen es gelang, sich die Welt der Sprache zunutze zu machen, um ihre Welt der Farben, Bilder und Filme anderen zuganglich zu machen. Sie machte eine beispiellose Karriere und gilt heute als eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Tierpsychologinnen. Denn sie kann die Welt so sehen, wie es Tiere tun. Und deshalb kann sie das Verhalten, die Begabungen und Angste von Tieren verstehen und so den Umgang mit ihnen verbessern helfen. Immer wieder findet Temple Grandin bestatigt, wie sehr ihre eigene Wahrnehmung derjenigen von Tieren ahnelt. In ihrem Bewusstsein und ihrem Gedachtnis sind nur Bilder, die sie fur die Aussenwelt in Worte ubersetzt. Und sie kann Gedanken und Gefuhle von Tieren in unsere Sprache ubersetzen. Damit revolutioniert sie unser Verstandnis von Tieren."
