The Woman in the Novels of Saul Bellow
The Book Presents In Brief A Critical Study Of Saul Bellow S Vision Of Woman In General. As The Novelist Has Presented A Variety Of Women Having Contradictory Traits, Any Attempt At Flat Generalisation Has Been Considered Forbidding. In Spite Of His Jewish Lineage And Specific Jewish Themes, Saul Bellow Has Established Himself As A Humanistic And Conscientious American Novelist. Hence, Such Conception, As Popular In Jewish Tradition, That His Woman Characters Must Occupy A Subordinate Place And Their Freedom Of Mind Shall Be Restricted, Seems To Be Futile. Far From Being Misogynous As It Is Sometimes Alleged By A Few Critics, His Vision Of Woman Appears To Be Balanced, Objective And Free From Personal Prejudice.The Book Is A Valuable Study On Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow, And All Those Who Admire His Works Would Find It Interesting And Useful As It Will Enable Them To See His Characters From A Different Perspective. Students And Also The Teachers Of English Literature Will Find It Highly Informative.
Rethinking Global Modernism
This anthology collects developing scholarship that outlines a new decentred history of global modernism in architecture using postcolonial and other related theoretical frameworks. By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize those canons, the volume explores what a genuinely "global" history of architectural modernism might begin to look like. Its chapters explore the historiography and weaknesses of modernism's normative interpretations and propose alternatives to them. The collection offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally. Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are engaged. With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference for a new understanding of this crucial and developing topic.

John F. Kennedy and the Politics of Faith
In John F. Kennedy and the Politics of Faith Patrick Lacroix explores the intersection of religion and politics in the era of Kennedy’s presidency. In doing so Lacroix challenges the established view that the postwar religious revival disappeared when President Eisenhower left office and that the contentious election of 1960, which carried John F. Kennedy to the White House, struck a definitive blow to anti-Catholic prejudice. Where most studies on the origins of the Christian right trace its emergence to the first battles of the culture wars of the late 1960s and early 1970s, echoing the Christian right’s own assertion that the “secular sixties” was a decade of waning religiosity in...

Genre Hybridisation
Der Band widmet sich den vielfältigen Globalisierungsprozessen in filmischen Genrekonfigurationen. Dieser bislang erst in Ansätzen erforschte Themenkomplex wird anhand paradigmatischer Beispiele sowohl theoretisch perspektiviert als auch filmhistorisch kontextualisiert. Neben Analysen US-amerikanischer und europäischer Produktionen liegt der Fokus vor allem auch auf Filmen aus Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika, wobei Kategorien wie nationale Kinematografien oder abgrenzbare Genremuster in den Fallbeispielen nur noch bedingt greifen. Den transnationalen Dimensionen der Filme entsprechend, versammelt der Band auch Beiträge von internationalen Vertretern der Film- und Medienwissenschaft, daru...
