Many Tongues, One People
ISBN: 9780801439124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Tharu of lowland Nepal are a group of culturally and linguistically diverse people who, only a few generations ago, would not have acknowledged each other as belonging to the same ethnic group. Today the Tharu are actively redefining themselves as a single ethnic group in Nepal's multiethnic polity. In Many Tongues, One People, Arjun Guneratne argues that shared cultural symbols including religion, language, and common myths of descent are not a necessary condition for the existence of a shared sense of peoplehood. The many diverse and distinct socio-cultural groups sharing the name...

Rethinking Third Cinema
ISBN: 9780415213530 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This important anthology addresses established notions about Third Cinema theory, and the cinema practice of developing and postcolonial nations. The 'Third Cinema' movement called for a politicised film-making practice in Africa, Asia and Latin America, one which would take on board issues of race, class, religion, and national integrity. The films which resulted from the movement, from directors such as Ousmane Sembene, Satyajit Ray and Nelson Pereira dos Santos, are among the most culturally signficant, politically sophisticated and frequently studied films of the 1960s and 1970s....

In doing so, it reveals the interplay between politics, cultural values, human security, and historical luck.
