The Bard in Retrospect
₹500.00
The essays collected in The Bard in Retrospect explore the many ways in which Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate in modern and contemporary culture. Rather than approaching Shakespeare solely as a canonical literary figure of the past, the contributors examine how his texts function as living cultural resources that are constantly reimagined across artistic media, intellectual traditions, and global contexts. The volume brings together scholars working across different disciplines including literary studies, film studies, cultural studies, visual studies, and digital humanities. Through these diverse perspectives, the book highlights the continuing vitality of Shakespearean thought in contemporary critical debates.

These ideas have long fascinated scholars across disciplines, serving as pivotal lenses through which one analyzes societal transformation, artistic innovation, and media phenomena. This edited volume emerges from a transdisciplinary seminar that was held on March 27 and 28, 2024 organized by the Department of English, Sister Nivedita University.

Visual Anthropocenes
₹500.00Add to cartWhen Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer proposed the term Anthropocene at the turn of the millennium, they gave geology a name for what many disciplines had already begun to recognise: that human activity had become a force visible in strata, ice cores, atmospheric chemistry, and planetary transformation (Crutzen and Stoermer 2000). The concept quickly became a cultural and narrative problem as much as a geological one, raising questions about how environmental transformation is experienced, represented, remembered, and resisted. This volume, Visual Anthropocenes, begins from the premise that literature, cinema, television, and popular culture are not simply illustrations of an ecological crisis first defined by science; they are among the cultural forms through which the Anthropocene becomes intelligible, giving narrative structure, bodies, landscapes, and futures to processes that otherwise appear only as abstract measurements and planetary statistics.

Add to cartBengali Christian Women: An Empirical Study by Dr Tumpa Mukherjee is a much-needed sociological examination of the condition of Bengali Christian women in the twentieth century. Specializing in the mores and manners of the women belonging to the Protestant denomination within the larger Christian community, she looks at their location, aspirations, educational qualifications, employment opportunities, marital status, degree of acculturation with the mainstream Hindu Bengali society and their contribution within and beyond the community.
Tracing the evolution of the mentioned demographic category, Dr Mukherjee privileges a particular focus on Women’s Christian College, Kolkata as a pathbreaker in the dissemination of education since 1945, nurturing generations of students towards a better future. She emphasizes the role of successive Principals and teachers of the institution as a microcosmic instance of the larger spread of education in the country, as also the nodal nature of the incubating impetus provided by the college.
Dr Mukherjee breaks new ground with her percipient insights into the circumstances, influences and possibilities of Bengali Christian women as they strive to play a meaningful role in challenging situations. While the size of the sample is small the research methodology followed is rigorous and the overall enquiry meticulous in its attention to detail, balance and objectivity.
