Free Download Rebecca J. Cook, "Frontiers of Gender Equality: Transnational Legal Perspectives "
English | ISBN: 1512823554 | 2023 | 616 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In Frontiers of Gender Equality, editor Rebecca Cook enlarges the chorus of voices to introduce new and different discourses about the wrongs of gender discrimination and to explain the multiple dimensions of gender equality. This volume demonstrates that the wrongs of discrimination can best be understood from the perspective of the discriminated, and that gender discrimination persists and grows in new and different contexts, widening the gap between the principle of gender equality and its realization, particularly for subgroups of women and LGBTQ+ peoples.

Free Download Transnational Kaiju: Exploitation, Globalisation and Cult Monster Movies by Steven Rawle
English | Aug 25, 2022 | ISBN: 1474475809 | 296 pages | PDF | 3 MB
From relatively humble beginnings in a King Kong-inspired Japanese studio picture, the kaijū eiga has developed into a global genre. While the origins of giant kaijū - the term often preferred to 'monster' - remain firmly rooted in Japan, the figure has become a transnational spectacle. This book explores how kaijū went global, from the adoption of Godzilla movies in translation to the appropriation of cultural material across borders. With reference to the genre's global development, its exploitative Western circulation and the labour of fans, the book examines how genres with deep national roots can become transnational phenomena.

Free Download Aaron Kerner, "Extreme Cinema: Affective Strategies in Transnational Media"
English | ISBN: 1474402909 | 2016 | 192 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Extreme Cinema examines the highly stylized treatment of sex and violence in post-millennial transnational cinema, where the governing convention is not the narrative but the spectacle. Using profound experiments in form and composition, including jarring editing, extreme close-ups, visual disorientation and sounds that straddle the boundary between non-diegetic and diegetic registers, this mode of cinema dwells instead on the exhibition of intense violence and an acute intimacy with the sexual body. Interrogating works such as

Free Download Rebecca Prime, "Cinematic Homecomings: Exile and Return in Transnational Cinema"
English | ISBN: 1441124470 | 2014 | 336 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The history of cinema charts multiple histories of exile. From the German émigrés in 1930s Hollywood to today's Iranian filmmakers in Europe and the United States, these histories continue to exert a profound influence on the evolution of cinematic narratives and aesthetics. But while the effect of exile and diaspora on film practice has been fruitfully explored from both historical and contemporary perspectives, the issues raised by return, whether literal or metaphorical, have yet to be fully considered.

Free Download Goffredo Plastino, "Neapolitan Postcards: The Canzone Napoletana as Transnational Subject"
English | 2016 | pages: 267 | ISBN: 0810881594 | PDF | 7,2 mb
Neapolitan Postcards gathers a diverse group of international scholars to investigate unexplored transnational aspects of the intimate yet globally popular canzone napoletana. Performed and beloved worldwide in almost every language, the style had hits such as "Funiculì funiculà" (1880) and "'O sole mio" (1898) which sold millions of copies. These hits fueled the tradition's spread across the world over the course of the twentieth century with the eventual popularity of covers by singers and musicians of all music genres and styles, from popular music to opera and jazz.

Free Download Nelson Ribeiro, "Revisiting Transnational Broadcasting: The BBC's foreign-language services during the Second World War"
English | ISBN: 036702943X | 2019 | 114 pages | EPUB | 221 KB
Presenting a collection of original chapters, this book reassesses the history of the BBC foreign-language services prior to, and during, the Second World War. The communication between the British government and foreign publics by way of mass media constituted a fundamental, if often ignored, aspect of Britain's international relations. From the 1930s onwards, transnational broadcasting - that is, broadcasting across national borders - became a major element in the conduct of Britain's diplomacy, and the BBC was employed by the government to further its diplomatic, strategic, and economic interests in times of rising international tension and conflict.

Free Download Marie Sandell, "The Rise of Women's Transnational Activism: Identity and Sisterhood Between the World Wars"
English | ISBN: 1350154865 | 2020 | 304 pages | EPUB | 942 KB
What characterised women's international co-operation in the interwar period? How did female activists from different countries and continents relate to one another? Marie Sandell here explores the changing experiences of women involved in the major international women's organisations - including the International Council of Women, International Alliance of Women, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and the International Federation of University Women - as well as the changing compositions and aims of the organisations themselves. Moving beyond an Anglo-American focus, Sandell analyses what the term 'international sisterhood' meant in this broader context, which for the first time included women from the beyond the Western world. Focusing on shifting identities, this book investigates how notions of 'sisterhood' were played out, and contested, during the interwar period and will be invaluable reading for scholars of women's history and twentieth-century world history.

In recent decades, hundreds of millions of people across the world have moved from rural areas to metropolitan regions, some of them crossing national borders on the way. While urbanization and globalization are proceeding with an intensity that seems unprecedented, these are only the most recent iterations of long-term transformations-cities have for centuries served as vital points of contact between different peoples, economies, and cultures.
