    Blackness, Symbolism, and American Modernism: Class, Race, Gender, and Sexuality (Routledge Research in Art and Race)

    Explore how race, class, gender, and sexuality intersect with American modernism through powerful symbolism in Blackness, Symbolism, and American Modernism: Class, Race, Gender, and Sexuality. Part of the acclaimed Routledge Research in Art and Race series, this thought-provoking work is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and scholars of art history, American studies, cultural studies, and race theory. Now available at Books Hub PK, this title is perfect for university courses, research libraries, and readers interested in understanding how Blackness has shaped — and been shaped by — modernist art and cultural movements in the United States.

    This book examines how modernist artists and writers in the early to mid-20th century engaged with the complex symbols and narratives surrounding Blackness. It explores the ways in which race, gender, sexuality, and class have historically influenced — and continue to influence — artistic production, interpretation, and cultural politics. Through detailed analysis of key figures, artworks, texts, and cultural moments, the author uncovers the symbolic dimensions of Blackness in American modernism and traces how they inform our understanding of identity and representation today.

    Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship, the book situates Blackness not only within the visual arts but also in broader cultural and political discourses. It highlights how artists, critics, and movements navigated stereotypes, resistance, marginalization, and the reimagining of identity. For students and researchers alike, this book provides a crucial framework for critically analyzing American modernism through an intersectional lens.

    Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook of Musical Theatre Screen Adaptations, Volume 2

    Price range: ₨820 through ₨1,250

    Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook of Musical Theatre Screen Adaptations, Volume 2

    Hollywood's conversion to sound in the 1920s created an early peak in the film musical, following the immense success of The Jazz Singer. The opportunity to synchronize moving pictures with a soundtrack suited the musical in particular, since the heightened experience of song and dance drew attention to the novelty of the technological development. Until the near-collapse of the genre in the 1960s, the film musical enjoyed around thirty years of development, as landmarks such as The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain, and Gigi showed the exciting possibilities of putting musicals on the silver screen. The second of three volumes, Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook, traces how the genre of the stage-to-screen musical has evolved, focusing in particular of issues of race, gender and sexuality. Enduringly popular adaptations such as Kiss Me Kate and Pal Joey are considered through the lens of identity, while several chapters consider how different adaptations of the same stage musical reflect shifting historical contexts. Together, the chapters incite lively debates about the process of adapting Broadway for the big screen and provide models for future studies. This book is available at Books Hub Pk.

    Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia

    Price range: ₨680 through ₨1,030

    Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia

    Arguing that we have become culturally obsessed with healing trauma, Sexuality Beyond Consent calls attention to what traumatized subjects do with their pain. The erotics of racism offers a paradigmatic example of how what is proximal to violation may become an unexpected site of flourishing. Central to the transformational possibilities of trauma is a queer form of consent, limit consent, that is not about guarding the self but about risking experience. Saketopoulou thereby shows why sexualities beyond consent may be worth risking-and how risk can solicit the future. Moving between clinical and cultural case studies, Saketopoulou takes up theatrical and cinematic works such as Slave Play and The Night Porter, to chart how trauma and sexuality join forces to surge through the aesthetic domain. Putting the psychoanalytic theory of Jean Laplanche in conversation with queer of color critique, performance studies, and philosophy, Sexuality Beyond Consent proposes that enduring the strange in ourselves, not to master trauma but to rub up against it, can open us up to encounters with opacity. The book concludes by theorizing currents of sadism that, when pursued ethically, can animate unique forms of interpersonal and social care. This book is available at Books Hub Pk.
