M. Keith Booker, PhD Dissertation Director Yajaira M. Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Domestic Violence Against Women in India: a Case Study
    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY ABSTRACT OF THE /^C THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of $I)ilDs;opl)p •^ ^'^ IN (, POLITICAL SCIENCE BY RAHAT ZAMANI Under the Supervision of Dr. Rachana Kanshal DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALJGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 ABSTRACT Today human beings live in the so-called civilized and democratic society that is based on the principles of equality and freedom for all. It automatically results into the non-acceptance of gender discrimination in principle. Therefore, various International Human Rights norms are in place that insist on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and advocate equal rights for women. Womens' year, women decade etc. are observed that led to the creation of mass awareness and sensitization of people about rights of women. Many steps are taken by the government in the form of various policies and programmes to promote the status of women and to realize women's rights. But despite all the efforts, the basic issue that threatens and endangers the very existence of women is the issue of domestic violence against women. John Stuart Mill put it into his book 'the subjection of women' in 1869 that, 'marriage should be thought of as a partnership of equals analogous to a business partnership and the family not a school of despotism but the real school of the virtues of freedom'. Contrary to this women who constitute about half of the world's population are the worst victim of violence and exploitation within home.

Three words are engraved on the ancient stone: LIBERTt­ T;EGALITt-FRATERNITt. The camera drops a frac­ tion. We see a harshly modern enamel plate-Place d'Arret. This shot from Avant Ie deluge, written and co-directed by Charles Spaak, bespeaks the thesis, with all its attendant over­ simplifications, of one of the most provocative screen writers working today-namely, that we are all assassins and that justice is never done. While the cinema in this country is suffering from an overdose of skill-fetichism (one technical gimmick after an­ other vainly trying to make up. for an emptiness of soul) , and while the Italian realist film is proving steadily more inelastic, Spaak is quietly proceeding with the serious business of the cin­ ema, enlarging it "in depth" by lending it that most unlikely di­ mension, real intellectual fervor.

  • Alien Love- Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Alien Love: Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar African American Novels, 1945-1956 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy In English By Hannah Wonkyung Nahm 2021 © Copyright by Hannah Wonkyung Nahm 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Alien Love: Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar African American Novels, 1945-1956 by Hannah Wonkyung Nahm Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor King-Kok Cheung, Co-Chair Professor Richard Yarborough, Co-Chair This dissertation examines Black-authored novels featuring White (or White-passing) protagonists in the post-World War II decade (1945-1956). Published during the fraught postwar political climate of agitation for integration and the continual systematic racism, many novels by Black authors addressed the urgent topic of interracial relationality, probing the tabooed question of whether Black and White can abide in love and kinship. One of the prominent—and controversial—literary strategies sundry Black novelists used in this decade was casting seemingly raceless or ambiguously-raced characters. Collectively, these novels generated a mixture of critical approval and dismissal in their time and up until recently, marginalized from the African American literary tradition. Even more critically overlooked than the ostensibly raceless project was the strategic mobilization of the trope of passing by some midcentury Black ii writers to imagine the racial divide and possible reconciliation. This dissertation intersects passing with postwar Black fiction that features either racially-anomalous or biracial central characters. Examining three novels from this historical period as my case studies, I argue that one of the ways in which Black writers of this decade have imagined the possibility of interracial love—with all its political pitfalls and ethical imperatives —is through the trope of passing.

He was a visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2007–08 BLACK FRIDAY Mediation and the Impossibility of Justice Anuj Bhuwania INTRODUCTION The subject was so sensitive, the film was almost like a trial. It dealt with real people, real names.’—Anurag Kashyap, Director, Black Friday1 his paper examines the anxieties of publicity and mediation in contemporary India by analyzing the ramifications of the Tlegal challenge to the release of a Hindi film called Black Friday based on a book on the police investigation of the serial bomb blasts, in the city then called Bombay, in March 1993. The film was to have an all-India release on 28 January 2005 but could not be released because one of the accused in the trial successfully filed a case asking for an injunction against it, arguing that the film in re-enacting the police investigation would pre-judge him as guilty and would thus vitiate the trial that was still in process. It would therefore be a ‘contempt of court’ as it would ‘interfere with the course of justice’ and would also defame the accused pronouncing them guilty before a public audience before the court has actually done so.

On the Connection Between Law and Justice, by Anthony D'Amato,* 26 U. C. Davis L. Rev. 527-582 (1992-93) Abstract: What does it mean to assert that judges should decide cases according to justice and not according to the law? Is there something incoherent in the question itself? That question will serve as our springboard in examining what is—or should be—the connection between justice and law. Legal and political theorists since the time of Plato have wrestled with the problem of whether justice is part of law or is simply a moral judgment about law. Nearly every writer on the subject has either concluded that justice is only a judgment about law or has offered no reason to support a conclusion that justice is somehow part of law. This Essay attempts to reason toward such a conclusion, arguing that justice is an inherent component of the law and not separate or distinct from it.
