In the great sea of the web the prophesy "Blessed are the last for they shall be first" is coming true. Not in another life, but in this one. Not in another world but in another dimension. There, in the Beyondscreen, people are judged on their integrity, their uniqueness as human beings, and their resources of mind and spirit rather than on social class, race, sexual preference or gender. A "bible for web practitioners." A hundred or so pages written in the blunt, aphoristic and inspired stile of the Net. Provocative. Heresy, possibly. But a heresy which in four "digital precepts" restores the basic values advocated by a hero of yesterday and tomorrow named Jesus. An "open" work fed by the thoughts of many. And one which, in order to live, must be nourished by all of you, the angels of a new digital heaven. As a collective work, it is not just the thinking of one person, but of all those the author read and met (virtually) online.

'Magical', 'out of this world', 'an experience you'll never forget': Peter Weir's films have enthralled audiences around the globe. Whether in iconic Australian works such as Picnic at Hanging Rock and Gallipoli or international mainstream thrillers such as Witness, Weir has deliberately created mystical movie experiences. Modern cinema studies is used to dissecting films on the basis of gender, class or race: now, for the first time, Richard Leonard shows that a mystical gaze also exists and is exercised in the secular multiplex temples of today. The Mystical Gaze of the Cinema is a meticulous and accessible book that uses a psychoanalytic approach incorporating the insights of Jung, film theory and theology to break new ground in what continues to be a hot topic in cinema studies: the spectator/screen relationship. Leonard provides a fresh and innovative perspective on what happens when we behold a film.

In Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility, Arianna Dagnino analyzes a new type of literature emerging from artists' increased movement and cultural flows spawned by globalization. This "transcultural" literature is produced by authors who write across cultural and national boundaries. Dagnino's book contains a creative rendition of interviews conducted with five internationally renowned writers-Inez Baranay, Brian Castro, Alberto Manguel, Tim Parks, and Ilija Trojanow-and a critical exegesis reflecting on thematic critical, and stylistic aspects. By studying the selected authors' corpus of work, life experiences, and cultural orientations, Dagnino explores the implicit, often subconscious process of cultural and imaginative metamorphosis that leads transcultural writers and their fictionalized characters beyond ethnic national, racial, or religious loci of identity and identity formation. "The work is a significant contribution to scholorship, for it increases our theoretical awareness of today's literary developments, providing us with critical tools that enable us to approach literary texts with an innovative perspective."-Maurizio Ascari, Universita di Bologna.
