Robert Doran.-- London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2017.
x,229p. , 25cm.
ISBN : 9781474225939.
170 DOR 146650
In this book, the author offers the first broad
assessment of the ethical challenges of Critical Theory
across the humanities and social sciences, calling into
question the sharp dichotomy typically drawn between the
theoretical and the ethical, the analytical and the
prescriptive. He exposes the ethical underpinnings of
theoretical discourses that are often perceived as either
oblivious to or highly skeptical of any attempt to define
ethics or politics.

epistemological and metaphysical issues. The contributors

and a philological perspective.They demonstrate the importance
of the subject matter for an understanding of Indian thought
in general and they highlight its wider philosophical significance.

5 Spina, Nanette R

Macmillan, 2017.
xiv, 327p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9781137589088.

This book investigates women-s ritual authority and the
common boundaries between religion and notions of
gender, ethnicity, and identity. The author situates her study
within the transnational Melmaruvathur
Adhiparasakthi movement established by the Tamil Indian
guru, Bangaru Adigalar. This represents an extraordinary
shift from orthodox tradition in which religious
authority has been the exclusive domain of male Brahmin
priests.Presenting historical and contemporary perspectives
on the transnational Adhiparasakthi organization, the author
analyzes women-s roles and means of expression within the tradition.

13 Helgesson, Stefan (ed)
Institutions of world literature : writing, translation,

York: Routledge, 2016.
viii, 233p. , 24cm.
(Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ,
32).
ISBN : 9781138832541.
801 HEL 146659
This book engages critically with the recent and ongoing
consolidation of "world literature" as a paradigm of
study. On the basis of an extended, active, and
ultimately more literary sense of what it means to
institute world literature, it views processes of
institutionalization not as limitations, but as
challenges to understand how literature may
simultaneously function as an enabling and exclusionary
world of its own. It starts from the observation that
literature is never simply a given, but is always
performatively and materially instituted by translators,
publishers, academies and academics, critics, and
readers, as well as authors themselves. This volume
therefore substantiates, refines, as well as
interrogates current approaches to world literature,
such as those developed by David Damrosch, Pascale
Casanova, and Emily Apter.

(Routledge research in postcolonial literatures, 62).
ISBN : 9781138125056.
809.93358 ATI 146661
This book explores the extent to which popular forms are
infused with colonial logics, and whether they can be
employed by those advocating for change. It considers a
range of fiction, film, and non-hegemonic cultural
forms, engaging with topics such as environmental change,
language activism, and cultural imperialism alongside
analysis of figures like Tarzan and Frankenstein.
Building on the work of cultural theorists, it asks
whether the popular is actually where elite conceptions
of the world may best be challenged. It also addresses
middlebrow cultural production, which has tended to be
seen as antithetical to radical traditions, asking
whether this might, in fact, form an unlikely realm from
which to question, critique, or challenge colonial
tropes.
