Emobility and the New Cinema of Complexity
The ‘Cinema of Complexity’ describes the condition of film in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in which the form itself is no longer film as it was once understood, but a complex interaction of no longer mechanical production techniques and their attendant human readings and responses. ‘Post-digitalism’, a condition in which mobile technologies are at the fore, draws its discourse and its modes from a sense of space and time not necessarily connected with location. However, this is a technological revolution in which Europe has led the way. Its impact on European culture and European individuals is itself revolutionary, although it has so far been little discussed.

The Tsadik and His Soul’s Sparks: From Kabbalah to Hasidism
The present study shows the continuity between the Safedian Kabbalistic view of the relations between the sparks of a certain soul, and the Hasidic theory, that was conceived of as innovated by and characteristic of 18th century Hasidism, as to the responsibility of the Tsadik for the sparks that belongs to his soul. In the two literatures, the rescue of a spark of one's soul is related to the beautiful captive woman that is conceived of as an externalization of an inner dimension of the righteous person, immersed in a shell.
