The power of perception: The impact of the Macedonian question on inter‐ethnic relations in the republic of Macedonia
Introduction The present article explores the impact of the Macedonian Question on the relations between the Macedonian majority and the Albanian minority in the Republic of Macedonia. The central argument put forth here is that the attitudes of Bulgaria and Greece, and to a lesser extent Serbia and Albania, towards the Macedonian nation, influence the ongoing conflict between Macedonians and Albanians as to the kind of state the Republic of Macedonia should be. At the heart of the Macedonian Question are conflicting perceptions and dogmas of the ethnic origin of the Macedonian nation, and the specific question of whether a distinct Macedonian nation actually exists.
French film theory and criticism : a history/anthology, 1907-1939
These two volumes examine a significant but previously neglected moment in French cultural history: the emergence of French film theory and criticism before the essays of Andr Bazin. Richard Abel has devised an organizational scheme of six nearly symmetrical periods that serve to "bite into" the discursive flow of early French writing on the cinema. Each of the periods is discussed in a separate and extensive historical introduction, with convincing explications of the various concepts current at the time. In each instance, Abel goes on to provide a complementary anthology of selected texts in translation. Amounting to a portable archive, these anthologies make available a rich selection of nearly one hundred and fifty important texts, most of them never before published in English.
