This timely book takes an original transnational approach to the theme of Nazism and neo-Nazism in film, media, and popular culture, with examples drawn from mainland Europe, the UK, North and Latin America, Asia, and beyond. This approach fits with the established dominance of global multimedia formats, and will be useful for students, scholars, and researchers in all forms of film and media. Along with the essential need to examine current trends in Nazism and neo-Nazism in contemporary media globally, what makesthis book even more necessary is that it engages with debates that go to the very heart of our understanding of knowledge: history, memory, meaning, and truth.

Desde que el presidente Felipe Calderón declaró su “guerra al narco”, el periodo que va de 2006 a 2016 es quizás el más trágico para México desde el fin del conflicto armado de la Revolución y la Guerra Cristera. A la impresionante cantidad de muertos y desaparecidos que ha dejado la violencia extrema en prácticamente todo el territorio nacional, se suman la precariedad creciente de las condiciones de vida de gran parte de la población, la impunidad, la corrupción, la represión y el autoritarismo. En este número de Magis se ha querido hacer un recuento de los modos más significativos en que la sociedad civil ha opuesto resistencia al sistema político, económico, ambiental y social que ha propiciado semejante estado de cosas. Por otra parte, se hace un repaso de la inspiración que hay en las empresas lanzadas por Elon Musk, el personaje de portada. Visionario y soñador, aunque no ajeno a las críticas, el fundador de PayPal no sólo ha impulsado también la posibilidad de que algún día no muy lejano dejemos de movernos en vehículos alimentados por combustibles fósiles, sino que además está protagonizando un relanzamiento de la carrera espacial, con miras a llegar pronto a Marte, uno de los anhelos más desafiantes para nuestra especie.

The Psychology of Screenwriting is more than an interesting book on the theory and practice of screenwriting. It is also a philosophical analysis of predetermination and freewill in the context of writing and human life in our mediated world of technology. Drawing on humanism, existentialism, Buddhism, postmodernism and transhumanism, and diverse thinkers from Meister Eckhart to Friedrich Nietzsche, Theodor Adorno, Jacques Derrida, Jean Baudrillard and Gilles Deleuze, The Psychology of Screenwriting will be of use to screenwriters, film students, philosophers and all those interested in contemporary theory. This book combines in-depth critical and cultural analysis with an elaboration on practice in an innovative fashion. It explores how people, such as those in the Dogme 95 movement, have tried to overcome traditional screenwriting, looking in detail at the psychology of writing and the practicalities of how to write well for the screen. This is the first book to include high-theory with screenwriting practice whilst incorporating the Enneagram for character development. Numerous filmmakers and writers, including David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, David Cronenberg, Pedro Almodóvar, Darren Aronofsky, Sally Potter and Charlie Kaufman are explored. The Psychology of Screenwriting is invaluable for those who want to delve deeper into writing for the screen.
