Folklore Studies in India: Critical Regional Responses
Folklore Studies in India: Critical Regional Responses is an interesting compilation of twenty-eight critical articles on the beginning of folklore studies in the different parts of India. In the absence of a book that could map the history of Indian folklore studies single-handedly, this book can be deemed as the first-of-its-kind to feature the historical development of folklore studies in the different states of India. This book succinctly introduces the readers to the folk culture, folk arts, and folk genres of a particular region and to the different aspects of folkloristic researches carried out in that region.
Genetic Conversion and Posthumanism in Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake
Genetic Conversion and Posthumanism in Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake focuses on a future scenario in which inherited transformation nearly wipes out the human population. Crake, the main character, is a scientist; specialising in genetic changes. He is credited with creating a group of genetically modified creatures known as “the Children of Crake.” These entities embody a state of existence beyond human, challenging conventional concepts of what it means to be the human. The characters’ inherited formation and the variations they endure influence their identity. The selected book emphasizes the concept of authenticity and its implications in a society where inherent alterations are prevalent, prompting reflection on the essence of being human. When people treat the innately altered creatures known as ‘Crakers’ differently due to their unique characteristics, this phenomenon is known as othering.
Physiology, Genomics, and Biotechnological Applications of Extremophiles
Extremophiles are organisms that are able to live in extreme conditions due to their unique physiological and genetic adaptations. Extremophiles are harnessed for their extremozymes that have wide applications in biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and industry. Recent developments in genomics and proteomics have helped unravel the mechanism of survival, physiological adaptation, and genomics structure of extremophiles. Physiology, Genomics, and Biotechnological Applications of Extremophiles covers innovative developments in understanding the physiology and biochemistry of extremophiles using the -omics perspective, focuses on the advancement in mechanisms of the extremophiles that makes them able to survive under extreme conditions, and discusses the applications of extremophiles in astrobiology. Covering topics such as genomics and the history and identification of extremophiles, it is ideal for students, professors, researchers, academicians, microbiologists, agricultural scientists, and biotechnologists.

The Politics of Expertise in Cultural Labour
What is expertise? In the arts, or cultural work, the experts in this area are commonly regarded to be art critics, dealers or intermediaries. Why are they considered experts? What about the expertise of the artists or cultural workers themselves? The Politics of Expertise in Cultural Labour provides a much-needed account of the concept of expertise in cultural work, providing new insights into the individual experiences of cultural workers and the role of social media in their creative practice and development of expertise. It also explores the potential reasons for inequalities in the sector which centre not only on protected characteristics such as class, gender and race, but increasingly...
