A Modernist Cinema: Film Art from 1914 to 1941

In A Modernist Cinema, sixteen distinguished scholars in the field of the New Modernist Studies explore the interrelationships among modernism, cinema, and modernity. Focusing on several culturally influential films from Europe, America, and Asia produced between 1914 and 1941, this collection of essays contends that cinema was always a modernist enterprise. Examining the dialectical relationship between a modernist cinema and modernity itself, these essays reveal how the movies represented and altered our notions and practices of modern life, as well as how the so-called crises of modernity shaped the evolution of filmmaking. Attending to the technical achievements and formal qualities of the works of several prominent directors - Giovanni Pastrone, D. W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, F. W. Murnau, Carl Theodore Dreyer, Dziga Vertov, Luis Buñuel, Yasujiro Ozu, John Ford, Jean Renoir, Charlie Chaplin, Leni Riefenstahl, and Orson Welles - these essays investigate several interrelated topics: how a modernist cinema represented and intervened in the political and social struggles of the era; the ambivalent relationship between cinema and the other modernist arts; the controversial interconnection between modern technology and the new art of filmmaking; the significance of representing the mobile human body in a new medium; the gendered history of modernity; and the transformative effects of cinema on modern conceptions of temporality, spatial relations, and political geography.

As the worlds of technology and financial services collide, Understanding FINTech and Banking Law: A Practical Guide, examines the current state and application of law and regulation to financial technology. Financial technology is rapidly evolving with new and innovative companies and applications forming to provide consumers and businesses alternative ways to access the payments and financial services networks. This book examines in depth, the legal and regulatory framework that may apply to these new services and companies.  The sweeping new legal framework established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 may have significant ramifications on financial technology. The creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) extended federal legal and regulatory power into a large swath of previously non-federally regulated financial products and services. State based regulation remains and many states are moving quickly to rewrite their regulations in the face of new products such as Bitcoin.  This book takes a comprehensive look at the evolving intersection between financial technology and regulation. Beginning with a review of the history of the payment system, the book delves in-depth to examine the state and federal legal and regulatory structures in place, which may govern financial technology. Following the global nature of FinTech, the book covers significant regulatory structures of major U.S. trading partners, including the United Kingdom, European Union, and Japan.
