Free Download Aaron Hunter, "Polly Platt: Hollywood Production Design and Creative Authorship" English | ISBN: 3030821226 | 2021 | 240 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book examines the career and creative labour of production designer Polly Platt. It focuses mainly on her contributions to 1970s Hollywood, but also considers her later work. Considering films such as The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, The Bad News Bears, and The Witches of Eastwick, it argues that Platt's construction of their visual palette and mise-en-scène was so creative and so comprehensive that it can be considered authorial. Chapters discuss Platt's life and its influence on her work, her attention to detail, her role in location decisions and costume design, and her use of colour. An epilogue discusses her later career as a producer and her mentorship to young filmmakers like Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. This is the first full-length examination of the career of one of the women practitioners whose work was so important to 1970s cinema, and provides an alternative methodology to the auteur-driven framing that so regularly defines the era.

Free Download Politics of Religious Freedom By Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, Saba Mahmood, Peter G. Danchin 2015 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 022624847X | PDF | 2 MB In a remarkably short period of time, the realization of religious freedom has achieved broad consensus as an indispensable condition for peace. Faced with widespread reports of religious persecution, public and private actors around the world have responded with laws and policies designed to promote freedom of religion. But what precisely is being promoted? What are the cultural and epistemological assumptions underlying this response, and what forms of politics are enabled in the process? The fruits of the three-year Politics of Religious Freedom research project, the contributions to this volume unsettle the assumption-ubiquitous in policy circles-that religious freedom is a singular achievement, an easily understood state of affairs, and that the problem lies in its incomplete accomplishment. Taking a global perspective, the more than two dozen contributors delineate the different conceptions of religious freedom predominant in the world today, as well as their histories and social and political contexts. Together, the contributions make clear that the reasons for persecution are more varied and complex than is widely acknowledged, and that the indiscriminate promotion of a single legal and cultural tool meant to address conflict across a wide variety of cultures can have the perverse effect of exacerbating the problems that plague the communities cited as falling short.  Free Download Kevin C. Dunn, "Politics of Origin in Africa: Autochthony, Citizenship and Conflict" English | 2013 | ISBN: 1848139977, 1848139969 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.7 mb In this revealing new book, Bøås and Dunn explore the phenomenon of 'autochthony' - literally 'son of the soil' - in African politics. In contemporary Africa, questions concerning origin are currently among the most crucial and contested issues in political life, directly relating to the politics of place, belonging, identity and contested citizenship. Thus, land claims and autochthony disputes are the hallmark of political crises in many places on the African continent.  Free Download Politics of Hate: Religious Majoritarianism in South Asia edited by Farahnaz Ispahani English | March 2, 2023 | ISBN: 9356293554, ASIN: B0BPZ1SKC2 | True AZW3/EPUB | 336 pages | 0.8/0.8 MB Over the years, politicians across the world have exploited ethnic and religious sentiments to mobilize support in their favour. Majoritarian communalism entails rehashing historical grievances and creating fear among the majority that minorities threaten the former's religion, culture or tradition. In many instances, the minority groups are described as privileged, unduly supported by the state, a threat to economic and job opportunities for the majority and so on. |
