In the beginning this was word ... It was a cold but bright winter day When Maya opened her eyes to life. The coldest was born in the hour just before dawn. When the moment of birth came, she was still not sure she wanted to be born. She was full of doubts, She wonder if she hadn't come? Years later, When she recalled this pre-natal memory, she was surprised because she was still at birth with a feeling of doubt, but despite doubt, the always dominant hope was again at work. Among her recalls was an energy field that encouraged her to be born, facilitated her exit to life, and with that strong support, Maya opened her eyes to this realm with a hope overcoming her suspicion. As the rebellious little girl of a family with two children, she was now in the world. In fact, her rebellion was an inherent flow that came from curiosity, not to oppose anything. Shee had an ordinary childhood in a crowded and loving family. Her older sister Asya was ten years older than her, always more mature than her age, and a socially compatible child. They were two brothers, but throughout her childhood she grew up in a crowded family full of relatives and cousins, and she never even had a memory of being alone in a room. She was in an ordinary life When viewed from the outside, whereas to her, everything she saw was unusual. The people around her thought she was a bit of a rebellion, but she only reacted to situations in which she wanted to be restricted, to unfair behavior, objected to injustice regardless of who was committed, she did not understand people's acceptance of things without question. She was tired of obeying the obligations, always trying to find a vulnerability in the imposed rules. She does not like to directly admit the taught information She was first filtering her, so to society she was a little rebel she was. Although this situation often caused her family to be angry, this nature of her nature had spontaneously narrowed its boundaries in time so that it could not be seen from the outside. In fact, as she grew up, she became a very compliant girl, as everyone wanted, but for Maya these periods of harmony were the beginning of a time When she stopped hearing her creation. The little rebel was a lovely girl with big inquisitive eyes and brown curly hair. E.g; She always thought she could fly until her mother insisted that she wouldn't fly. According to her, the reason she could not fly was that her wing arms had not yet strengthened enough, the wing arms would have become stronger in a little more time and the rest was easy. She would spread her wings and accelerate with every sparrow she saw on the road to experiment. The acceleration part was complete, but it could not pass to the glide part. Even When she grew up, she thought that maybe she would have already flown if her mother hadn't insisted that "you can't fly" she would never know. How easy and how difficult everything was in this world. In fact, other people had sculpted their wings on many issues, do's and can't do. Over the years she would realize that really easy and difficult were at the same time, in the same place, whicshever one we saw and chose was the one. Maya was curious and did not understand that her elders got angry with what she was doing, weren't they? E.g; She had played first, then tried to find out what was inside and opened it When a full ball was taken to her, but her mother was very angry for damaging the toy. It was so exciting to reach the liquid in the ball and the sparkling stars, and for her mother that meant messing up, cutting the ball, not listening. Again one day, wondering how the trousers her mother made for her would look with fringes, she showed it with excitement When she cut it across, but her mother screamed. She would say "OK" every time she was warned, but still read what she knew because her sense of curiosity always dominated. To her, she just went all the way to discover something, so she couldn't make sense of the reactions. In time she had a breaking point and learned to suppress curiosity. She didn't quite know what that breaking point was, but something changed with her adolescence. Each child is beautiful in their own right, but she was a girl with a Mayan build, an ordinary physique, but she stood out and stopped not wanting to stand out with adolescence. The courageous darling girl, who was curious about everything until the age of ten, started to be more cautious with adolescence and stopped after a while on many issues. She learned to manage in the middle When she could do more than she could, trying too much was glaring, she might not be liked When she was glaring. Although her curiosity was trying to emerge, Maya had learned to suppress it step by step. Her poverty relaxed her family.

In Permanent Transit: Discourses and Maps of the Intercultural Experience builds interdisciplinary approaches to the study of migrations, traffics, globalisation, communication, regulations, arts, literature, and other intercultural processes, in the context of past and present times. The book offers a convergence of perspectives, combining conceptual and empirical work by sociologists, anthropologists, historians, linguists, educators, lawyers, media specialists, and literary studies writers, in their shared attempt to understand the many routes of the intercultural experience. This Permanent Transit generates an overlapping of cultures, characteristic of a site of cultural translation. In their incessant creation of uncertainties, these pages also produce new hypotheses, theories and explanations, while pushing limits, bringing about epistemological changes, and opening new spaces for independent discussion and research. The potential for change is located at peripheries marked by hybridity, where the ‘new arrivals’ and the ‘excluded’ – like this book and many of its contributors – are able to use subversion to undermine the strategies of the powerful, regardless of who they are. Cultural translation – both as Judith Butler’s ‘return of the excluded’ and as Homi Bhabha’s hybridity – is a major force of contemporary democracy, also in the academic field.

Identifies key – and in some cases previously overlooked – cult horror films from around the world and reappraises them by approaching and interrogating them in new ways. New productions in the horror genre occupy a prominent space within the cinematic landscape of the 21st century, but the genre's back catalogue of older films refuses to be consigned to the motion picture graveyard just yet. Interest in older horror films remains high, and an ever-increasing number of these films have enjoyed an afterlife as cult movies thanks to regular film festival screenings, television broadcasts and home video releases. Similarly, academic interest in the horror genre has remained high. The frameworks applied by contributors to the collection include genre studies, narrative theory, socio-political readings, aspects of cultural studies, gendered readings, archival research, fan culture work, interviews with filmmakers, aspects of film historiography, spatial theory and cult film theory. Covering a corpus of films that ranges from recognised cult horror classics such as The Wicker Man, The Shining and Candyman to more obscure films like Daughters of Darkness, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires, Shivers, Howling III: The Marsupials and Inside, Broughton has curated an international selection of case studies that show the diverse nature of the cult horror subgenre. Be they star-laden, stylish, violent, bizarre or simply little heard-of obscurities, this book offers a multitude of new critical insights into a truly eclectic selection of cult horror films.
