World Literature, Non-Synchronism, and the Politics of Time
Drawing on a Marxist concept of world literature, this book is a study of the manipulations of time in contemporary anglophone fiction from Africa and South Asia. Through critical work and literary reading, this research explores the times other than the present that seem to haunt an era of capitalist globalisation: nostalgic feelings about bygone ideals of identity and community, appeals to Golden Ages, returns of the repressed and anxious anticipations of global extinction and catastrophe. The term non-synchronism explored in this book captures these dislocations of the present, while offering a critical lens to grasp the politics of time of an era marked by the continuing expansion of capitalist modernity. Most importantly, non-synchronism is a dialectical paradigm charged with antagonistic political valences. The literary analysis presented in the volume hence connects the literary manipulation of time to discourses on extinction, accumulation, nostalgia, modernity and survival in global politics and literature.
On the Brink
A wonderfully entertaining exploration of the lives of the rarest of animals in India. The majestic Bengal tiger sets out for a hunt and the forest erupts, animals chittering and barking in alarm. A pack of wild dogs whistle to each other even as they rip open the flanks of a still-running spotted deer. Sarus cranes do their elaborate, spellbinding mating dance and pair for life. Ancient turtles haul themselves out of the ocean once every three years to lay their eggs in the moonlit sands. Sooner than most of us expect, these rituals will be part of history. On the Brink introduces us to these and seven other animal species of India that are in imminent peril, victims of human greed and call...

New Perspectives On Indian Cinema
Los Carmelitas Descalzos no pudieron estudiar grados académicos hasta el Concilio Vaticano II (1962-1965), circunstancia que impidió su ejercicio como profesores universitarios, al contrario que el resto de integrantes de las demás Órdenes Mendicantes. No obstante, su labor docente fue variada y próspera como se comprueba y se detalla a lo largo de los diversos capítulos del libro, aunque siempre bajo el carisma de una finalidad concreta: que nacieran y se consolidaran vocaciones religiosas. Esta monografía ofrece un recorrido completo sobre la historia de los Colegios Carmelitanos desde la fundación de la Orden en el siglo XVI hasta la actualidad. Es el resultado de un trabajo de in...
