The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world of film theory. By marrying the explanation of a film theory with the interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. The second book in the series, Postcolonial Theory and Avatar offers a concise introduction to postcolonial theory in jargon-free language and shows how this theory can be deployed to interpret James Cameron's high-grossing, immensely popular, and critically acclaimed 2009 film.
Avatar is widely celebrated for its politically and culturally sensitive critique of the "West's" neocolonial wars and exploitation of the "global south" - an allegory for (neo)colonialism - and for highlighting the plight of tribal communities throughout the world (for instance, the case of the Dongriah Kondh tribe of India). At the same time, it has been also criticized for repeating the colonialist fantasy of saving natives doomed by imperialist aggression. Intervening in this debate over how to read the film, Basu Thakur focuses on issues of representations, discourse, subalternity, and subjectivity, all of which have been central to postcolonial theory and postcolonial analyses of culture. This history will help students and scholars who are eager to learn more about this important area of theory and bring the concepts of postcolonial theory into practice through a detailed interpretation of the film.
Автор: Bhan Gautam Название: In the Public`s Interest: Evictions, Citizenship, and Inequality in Contemporary Delhi ISBN: 0820350095 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780820350097 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 79470.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book studies the recent legacy of basti “evictions” in Delhi—mass clearings of some of the city’s poorest neighborhoods as a way to understand how the urban poor are disenfranchised in the name of “public interest” and, in the case of Delhi, by the very courts meant to empower and protect them. Studying bastis, says Gautam Bhan, provokes six clear lines of inquiry applicable to studies of urbanism across the global south.The first is the long-standing debate over urban informality and illegality: the debate’s impact on conceptions and practices of urban planning, the production of space, and the regulation of value. The second is a set of debates on “good governance,” read through their intersections with ideas of “planned development” within rapidly transforming cities. The third is the political field of urban citizenship and the possibilities of substantive rights and belonging in the city. The fourth is resistance and the ability of a city’s subaltern residents to struggle against exclusion. The two remaining inquiries both cut across and unify the first four. One of these is the role of the judiciary and the relationships between law and urbanism in cities of the global south. The other is the relationship between democracy and inequality in the city.What emerges about Delhi in particular is a multilayered double standard in attention to, and enforcement of, property laws. Rights are lost, citizenship is unequal and differentiated, the promise of development is refused, and poverty and inequality are reproduced and deepened. The task at hand, says Bhan, is not just to explain evictions but also to listen to what they are telling us about “the city that is as well as the city that can be.”

Автор: Deb, Anish Sarkar, Gautam Sengupta, Anindita Название: Triangular orthogonal functions for the analysis of continuous time systems ISBN: 0857289993 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780857289995 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 105750.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book deals with a new set of triangular orthogonal functions, which evolved from the set of well known block pulse functions (BPF), a major member of the piecewise constant orthogonal function family (PCOF). Unlike PCOF, providing staircase solutions, this new set of triangular functions provides piecewise linear solution with less mean integral squared error (MISE). After introducing the rich background of PCOF family, which includes Walsh, block pulse and other related functions, fundamentals of the newly proposed set - such as basic properties, function approximation, integral operational metrics, etc. - are presented. This set has been used for integration of functions, analysis and synthesis of dynamic systems and solution of integral equations. The study ends with microprocessor based simulation of SISO control systems using sample-and-hold functions and Dirac delta functions. This book is a source of new knowledge to researchers and academicians in the area of mathematics as well as systems and control.
