Hul! Hul! The Suppression of the Santal Rebellion in Bengal, 1855

Hul! Hul! The Suppression of the Santal Rebellion in Bengal, 1855
Peter Stanley, "Hul! Hul!: The Suppression of the Santal Rebellion in Bengal, 1855"
English | ISBN: 1787385426 | 2022 | 328 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
If not for the famous Indian mutiny-rebellion of 1857, the Santal "Hul" (rebellion) of 1855 would today be remembered as the most serious uprising that the East India Company ever faced. Instead, this rebellion-to which 10 per cent of the Bengal Army's infantry was committed and in which at least 10,000 Santals died-has been forgotten. While its memory lived among Santals, British officers published little about it, and most of the sepoys involved died in 1857. In the words of one British officer, the Hul was "not war ... but execution", and perhaps thus was dismissed as unworthy of attention by military historians.

Hollywood by Hollywood The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies

Hollywood by Hollywood The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies
Steven Cohan, "Hollywood by Hollywood: The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies"
English | ISBN: 0190865784 | 2018 | 288 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1445 KB + 13 MB
The backstudio picture, or the movie about movie-making, is a staple of Hollywood film production harking back to the silent era and extending to the present day. What gives backstudios their coherence as a distinctive genre, Steven Cohan argues in Hollywood by Hollywood, is their fascination with the mystique of Hollywood as a geographic place, a self-contained industry, and a fantasy of fame, leisure, sexual freedom, and modernity. Yet by the same token, if backstudio pictures have rarely achieved blockbuster box-office success, what accounts for the film industry's interest in continuing to produce them? The backstudio picture has been an enduring genre because, aside from offering a director or writer a chance to settle old scores, in branding filmmaking with the Hollywood mystique, the genre solicits consumers' strong investment in the movies. Whether inspiring the "movie crazy" fan girls of the early teens and twenties or the wannabe filmmakers of this century heading to

Heroism as a Global Phenomenon in Contemporary Culture

Heroism as a Global Phenomenon in Contemporary Culture
Simon Wendt, "Heroism as a Global Phenomenon in Contemporary Culture "
English | ISBN: 036720665X | 2019 | 250 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Heroes and heroic discourse have gained new visibility in the twenty-first century. This is noted in recent research on the heroic, but it has been largely ignored that heroism is increasingly a global phenomenon both in terms of production and consumption. This edited collection aims to bridge this research void and brings together case studies by scholars from different parts of the world and diverse fields. They explore how transnational and transcultural processes of translation and adaptation shape notions of the heroic in non-Western and Western cultures alike. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies.
