Social Movements in India: Poverty, Power, and Politics
ISBN: 9780742538436 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Social movements have played a vital role in Indian politics since well before the inception of India as a new nation in 1947. During the Nehruvian era, from Independence to Nehru's death in 1964, poverty alleviation was a foundational standard against which policy proposals and political claims were measured; at this time, movement activism was directly accountable to this state discourse. However, the role of social movements in India has shifted during the last several decades to accompany a changed political focus--from state to market and from reigning ideologies of secularism to credos...

Diana and Beyond: White Femininity, National Identity, and Contemporary Media Culture
ISBN: 9780252080302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The death of Princess Diana unleashed an international outpouring of grief, love, and press attention virtually unprecedented in history. Yet the exhaustive effort to link an upper class white British woman with "the people" raises questions. What narrative of white femininity transformed Diana into a simultaneous signifier of a national and global popular? What ideologies did the narrative tap into to transform her into an idealized woman of the millennium? Why would a similar idealization not have appeared around a non-white, non-Western, or immigrant woman?

Perverse Politics?: Feminism, Anti-Imperialism, Multiplicity
ISBN: 9781786350749 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this special issue, we address what we refer to as 'perversity of the political' or 'perverse politics': namely, the assumptions political theory and movements, and in our specific case feminism, often make on behalf of their subjects, and how their subjects, in return, perform individual and collective contrariness, unruliness and resistance to what is expected or desired from their 'subjectivity'. Specifically focusing on the themes of 'false consciousness', multiplicity, and uneasy alliances, the papers collected here seek to empirically lay out a number of such 'perverse' moments, and...
