1 Constructivism in the USA: machine art and architecture at The Little Review exhibitions For Americans, the picture of Russian art in the first decade and a half following the Revolution was chequered, and attempts to disseminate Soviet artworks in books, articles, and exhibitions were sporadic and uneven. Too often a prerevolutionary rationale determined the discourse on post-revolutionary work by situating the works within the amorphous and increasingly institutionalized figure of modern art. Therefore the treatment of Constructivism, the most far
7 Alfonso Cuarón’s first films in Mexico and the USA Sólo con tu pareja: bringing the middle classes back to Mexican cinemas Alfonso Cuarón’s filmmaking career has many parallels to that of Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro González Iñárritu. All have made a first film in Mexico, before consolidating their careers in the USA. The difference between Cuarón’s trajectory and that of the other two directors is that he is the only one who has returned to Mexico to make a film – Y tu mamá también (2001) – and this transnational nationally successful film came after
9 The anarchist anti-conscription movement in the USA Kathy E. Ferguson This chapter explores the conceptual logic and political strategies of the anarchist anti-conscription movement in the USA before and during the First World War.

22 The outreach programme at Sewanee, University of the South, USA Felix M. Bivens Context T he Outreach and Community Service programme at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, was created in 1989. It was part of a wave of many such programmes started by US universities and colleges in the late 1980s and early 1990s, bolstered by Boyer’s Scholarship Reconsidered report for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (1990).

v 9 v Catholic anti-communism, the bomb and perceptions of apocalypse in West Germany and the USA, 1945–90 Daniel Gerster Christian religion and war have shared a common history for centuries. There is, in fact, a long and entangled Christian discourse on ‘war’, even though Christianity has repeatedly emphasised the founding myth of it being purely a ‘peace religion’.1 Yet, since the late third century at the latest, such self-perception has conflicted with different Christian concepts that justified war and thus made it conceivable.

This article defends the view that Gothic Studies should encourage research on contemporary gothic youth cultures from a Cultural Studies point of view. This is justified on two grounds: research on these youth cultures is a unique chance to consider gothic as a living cultural practice and not just as textual analysis mostly disengaged from the present; on the other hand, these subcultures are currently under attack by the media and moral minorities, especially in the USA, and Gothic Studies could - maybe should - help correct this regrettable situation born of prejudice against, and ignorance about, Gothic itself. The article reviews the embarrassing position of the Gothic Studies researcher today as regards gothic youth cultures and calls for the reinforcement of the poor knowledge we have of the evolution of these cultures in the last 20 years.
