Spivak and Postcolonialism
Exploring, amongst other themes, representations of the other, strategies adopted to resist such representations, the issues of identity, nationalism, colonialism, feminism, subaltern studies and the English language within the context of Empire, this book projects a study of post-colonialism through the work of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
Watching the Cops
Globally, police officers are the object of unprecedented visual scrutiny. The use of mobile phones, CCTV and personal body cams means that police are not only being filmed on the job but are also filming themselves. In popular culture, police have featured heavily on the big screen since the era of silent shorts and on television since the 1930s. Their fictional portrayals today take on added significance in light of social unrest surrounding cases of police brutality and discrimination. These essays explore 21st century portrayals of police on film and television. Chapters often emphasize the Black Lives Matter movement and consider the tone, quality, appropriateness and intention of film and television featuring police activity. Extensively covered works include Mindhunter, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Cops, Criminal Minds and RoboCop, and among the major topics addressed are policing communities, hunting serial killers, police animals, and police in historic settings ranging from the 19th century through the present day and into science fiction futures.
Identity and the Dynamics of Border Crossing
The concept of identity is shaped by the experience of crossing borders. Whether moving between nations, cultures, languages, or social spaces, individuals are often compelled to renegotiate their identity in response to new environments and expectations. These transitions can lead to both conflict and growth in notions of self. The dynamics of border crossing reveal how identity is fluid, formed through interaction with shifting boundaries of belonging, power, and recognition. Exploring this intersection provides insight into the complex, evolving nature of personal and collective identity in a globalized world. Identity and the Dynamics of Border Crossing explores how individuals and communities grapple with questions of identity, displacement, and belonging in the postcolonial world. It examines the effects of border crossing, interrogating power structures like immigration laws, cultural dominance, and colonial histories. Covering topics such as cultural identity, border employment, and ethics and law, this book is an excellent resource for government officials, policymakers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
Dalit Theology after Continental Philosophy
This book, steeped in the traditions of both postcolonial theory and Continental philosophy, addresses fundamental questions about God and theology in the postcolonial world. Namely, Y.T. Vinayaraj asks whether Continental philosophies of God and the ‘other’ can attend to the struggles that entail human pain and suffering in the postcolonial context. The volume offers a constructive proposal for a Dalit theology of immanent God or de-othering God as it emerges out of the Lokayata, the Indian materialist epistemology. Engaging with the post-Continental philosophers of immanence such as Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Catherine Malabou, and Jean-Luc Nancy, Vinayaraj explores the idea of a Dalit theology of God and body in the post-Continental context. The book investigates how there can be a Dalit theology of God without any Christian philosophical baggage of transcendentalism. The study ends with a clarion call for Indian Christian Theology to take a turn toward an immanence that is political and polydoxical in content.
