Anticolonialism, Ontology, and Semiotics

Autor: Patrick D. Anderson

Número de Páginas: 168

Anticolonialism, Ontology, and Semiotics places anticolonial theory, semiotic analysis, and contemporary Hollywood film into conversation. Synthesizing Algirdas Greimas’ semiotic square with the theories of anticolonial philosophers like Frantz Fanon, Eldridge Cleaver, and Sylvia Wynter, Anderson reconstructs an anticolonial social ontology for use as a method of film analysis. Using this ontology to interpret a wide range of films, the book defies the assumptions and challenges the conclusions of postcolonial and intersectional approaches. Reaching beyond the application of anticolonial theory for the purpose of film criticism, the book uses theory to interpret film while using film to illustrate and interpret theory. Along the way, readers are challenged to reconsider class, race, gender, sexuality, violence, and liberation not only in the cinematic world but also in the worlds we all inhabit. This concise yet broad-reaching work will interest scholars and students of film studies, film philosophy, anticolonialism and postcolonialism, race and gender studies.

Make it Work

Autor: Jan Ellyn Goggans

Número de Páginas: 183

Imagine a new critical theory that bases its literary value on fashion. In this theory exists a community that explores and interrogates conventionality, and in American literature of the 20th century, it includes fashion and home decoration, two paths to achieving white femininity, a prized component of many novels written by and for women. Drawing on cultural materialism and its connection to the cultural forms of objects, including apparel, Making it Work: 20th Century American Fiction and Fashion provides readers a new understanding of the aims of American writers, and the desires of their readers.

Amy Biehl’s Last Home

Autor: Steven D. Gish

Número de Páginas: 537

In 1993, white American Fulbright scholar Amy Biehl was killed in a racially motivated attack near Cape Town, after spending months working to promote democracy and women’s rights in South Africa. The ironic circumstances of her death generated enormous international publicity and yielded one of South Africa’s most heralded stories of postapartheid reconciliation. Amy’s parents not only established a humanitarian foundation to serve the black township where she was killed, but supported amnesty for her killers and hired two of the young men to work for the Amy Biehl Foundation. The Biehls were hailed as heroes by Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, and many others in South Africa and the United States—but their path toward healing was neither quick nor easy. Granted unrestricted access to the Biehl family’s papers, Steven Gish brings Amy and the Foundation to life in ways that have eluded previous authors. He is the first to place Biehl’s story in its full historical context, while also presenting a gripping portrait of this remarkable young woman and the aftermath of her death across two continents.
