Download or read book Wagadu Volume 15 written by Franziska Dübgen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epistemic injustice points to experiences that we struggle to articulate due to the injuries of hegemonic speech. Detecting such injuries enables social philosophers and activists alike to name injustices, which have not been previously addressed as such. By looking at epistemic injustice in practice, this special issue seeks to analyze epistemologies of marginalized groups, pointing to hidden practices of power as well as silenced subject positions. The published articles investigate the workings of epistemic injustice in the fields of transgender identities, racial discrimination, legal mechanisms of retribution, disability, global social inequalities, and in theorizing justice.

Book excerpt: The United Nations has proclaimed the 21st century to be the century of water.

Contributors also explore feminist analyses of the aesthetic dimension of water and the feminine, since water is often associated with women, shown in cross-cultural examples of mythology, symbols and legends.

This book was released on 2019-05-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When transposed into the botanical world cherished by writer Jamaica Kincaid, the creolization that has long characterized Caribbean cultures can be reread as the art of grafting. In this volume, the notion of grafting—whether of plants, of human beings, or of literary genres—is the basis for the critical readings of the diasporic traces that crisscross Jamaica Kincaid’s oeuvre, here, specifically in the more recent works: My Garden (Book):; Among Flowers: A Walk in the Himalaya; and See Now Then, with connections also to The Autobiography of My Mother.

Download or read book Wagadu Vol 16 written by Nikita Dhawan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the hype of intersectionality and diversity, they remain predominantly symbolic commitments in academic discourses, policy measures and institutional practices. The rhetoric of diversity and intersectionality is strategically mobilized to deflect charges of racism and hetero/sexism, even as there is ongoing systematic resistance against the implementation of their emancipatory potential. Despite commitments to do diversity and adopt intersectional methodology, the status quo is sustained through Eurocentric and Androcentric approaches. This special issue outlines the ideological function of diversity and intersectionality as legitimizing performance indicators in policies, discourses and institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asserting that Coetzee’s representation of the body as subject to dismemberment counters the colonial representation of the other’s body as exotic and erotically-charged, this study inspects the ambivalence pertaining to Coetzee’s embodied representation of the other and reveals the risks that come with such contrapuntal reiteration. Through the study of the narrative identity of the colonial other and her/his body’s representation, the book also unveils the author’s own authorial identity exposed through the repetitive narrative patterns and characterization choices.

Book Synopsis Woman Blooming Out of Gloom by : Jayant S. Cherekar
Download or read book Woman Blooming Out of Gloom written by Jayant S. Cherekar and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woman Blooming out of Gloom is a doctoral thesis that provides an in-depth analysis of the works of Senegalese author Mariama Bâ. By addressing such issues as marriage, polygamy, motherhood, and womanhood, Bâ was able to establish a creative space for herself and use the act of creative writing as a tool for self-affirmation. The underlying theme of most of Bâ's writings is a powerful appeal for the emancipation of women, and African women in particular. This well-crafted and engaging analysis is divided into five chapters; each of which attempts its own in-depth review of separate aspects of Bâ's works. The book ultimately endeavors to take a critical review of contemporary African socio-political reality by proposing a re-reading of Bâ's writings. The author of this book, Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar, was inspired by a sincere desire to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of Bâ's female protagonists. In so doing, the author also attempts to bring into global focus the vast socio-political-cultural realities prevalent in the African world today. Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar is an assistant professor in English who specializes in grammar, literary criticism, and fiction. Prior to this book, he has published research papers in national and international journals. For his next book he plans a comparative analysis of Mariama Bâ with female Indian authors. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JayantSCherekar
Book Synopsis Contemporary Gothic and Horror Film by : Keith McDonald
Download or read book Contemporary Gothic and Horror Film written by Keith McDonald and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at contemporary Gothic cinema within a transnational approach. With a focus on the aesthetic and philosophical roots which lie at the heart of the Gothic, the study invokes its literary as well as filmic forebears, by exploring how these styles informed strands of the modern filmic Gothic: the ghost narrative, folk horror, the vampire movie, cosmic horror and finally, the zombie film. In recent years, the concept of transnationalism has ‘trans’-cended its original boundaries, perhaps excessively in the minds of some. Originally defined in the wake of the rise of globalisation in the 1990s, as a way to study cinema beyond national boundaries, where the look and the story of a film reflected the input of more than one nation, or region, or culture. It was considered too confining to study national cinemas in an age of internationalization, witnessing the fusions of cultures, and post-colonialism, exile and diasporas. The concept allows us to appreciate the broader range of forces from a wider international perspective while at the same time also engaging with concepts of nationalism, identity and an acknowledgement of cinema itself. It also facilitated studies to focus on notions of hybridity where terms were not fixed but were constantly shifting and mobile. The central idea of the book is that after horror/Gothic film was dragged into disrepute by the rise of torture porn and endless North American remakes, a set of international filmmakers are seeking to emphasize the aesthetic, artistic and philosophical potential of the Gothic. Such filmmakers include Guillermo del Toro (Crimson Peak), Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night), Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden, Stoker), Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In), Wim Wenders (Only Lovers Left Alive), Ben Wheatley (A Field in England), Jane Campion (Top of the Lake), and Carol Morley (The Falling). Although written in an accessible manner, the book incorporates theory and engages extensively into research to tap into key developments in Gothic studies – transnationalism, fandom and genre fiction, and transmedia exchanges – bringing these together along with popular culture and associated phenomena.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Disability by : Patrick Devlieger
Download or read book Rethinking Disability written by Patrick Devlieger and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The act of life is a lived experience, common and unique, that ties each of us to every other lived experience. The fact of disability does not alter this fundamental truth. In this edition of Rethinking Disability: World Perspectives in Culture and Society, we are presented with a system of thinking that considers the values of disability, as a resource, as a creative source of culture that moves disability out of the realm of victimized people and insurmountable barriers, and provides opportunities to use the experience of disability to enter into networks that recognize strengths of differing abilities. The authors within will intrigue you, will move you, will charm you, but always will challenge your notion of sameness and difference as they confront the construct and (de)construct of disability and ableism. They present compelling arguments for viewing disABILITY through the multiple lenses of disability culture. They explore themes and issues that transcend past and origins, time and place, nuances of genetics, to experiences of present and becoming, and towards the future and beyond mere human, yet always intrinsically connected to being human. This book is intended for all audiences who dare to confront difference and sameness within themselves and in connection with others; to inspire researchers who wish to explore, and examine disability across social, cultural and economic barriers. It is an invitation to push away the barriers, bring ableism inside to a place where the prosthesis is no longer the elephant in the room.
