![]() ![]() She reveals a political system of male dominance and female subordination that sexualizes power for men and powerlessness for women. ![]() She argues that viewing gender as a matter of sameness and difference―as virtually all existing theory and law have done―covers up the reality of gender, which is a system of social hierarchy, an imposed inequality of power. Through these engaged works on issues such as rape, abortion, athletics, sexual harassment, and pornography, MacKinnon seeks feminism on its own terms, unconstrained by the limits of prior traditions. Authentic in voice, sweeping in scope, startling in clarity, urgent, never compromised and often visionary, these discourses advance a new theory of sex inequality and imagine new possibilities for social change. MacKinnon offers a unique retrospective on the law of sexual harassment, which she designed and has worked for a decade to establish, and a prospectus on the law of pornography, which she proposes to change in the next ten years. These discourses, originally delivered as speeches, have been brilliantly woven into a book that retains all the spontaneity and accessibility of a live presentation. ![]() MacKinnon, noted feminist and legal scholar, explores and develops her original theories and practical proposals on sexual politics and law. ![]()

Rucka delves i nto the complexity behind Wonder Woman's character, examining her role as a symbol of peace and and as the god of war. Easily one of the best Rebirth one-shots to date, Rucka does a great job exploring what makes the character so great: her duality. Apart from those small issues, this is a great issue. And while he sets everything up brilliantly, he does seem a bit too harsh on Brian Azzarello's run on the character. It really seems like the only focus of this issue was to setup the upcoming "Lies" storyline. The only problem with this issue is the fact that Rucka doesn't really do much with the story. Rucka sets up the new status quo for Wonder Woman while exploring the constantly shifting nature of her origin. Arguably my most anticapated new DC title, Wonder Woman sees legendary writer Greg Rucka return to one of his most well-known works. ![]() ![]() Mark Spitz is a member of one of the civilian teams working in lower Manhattan. While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety-the “malfunctioning” stragglers, who exist in a catatonic state, transfixed by their former lives. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street-aka Zone One-but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuilding civilization under orders from the provisional government based in Buffalo. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a pandemic has devastated the planet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Partway through the novel its focus shifts, conspicuously, from recounting Lenny’s personal narrative of disabled embodiment and corrective surgery to the cultural history of Partition and the social consequences of subcontinental politics. Just as Netsai’s amputated leg surfaces compulsively throughout The Book of Not as a signifier of the trauma of chimurenga, Cracking India’s Partition narrative is haunted by recurring images of corporeal dismemberment - tearing, cracking, bleeding, pain - that emerge from the protagonist Lenny’s childhood experiences of disability (she is lame as a result of polio). Echoing a problematic conflation of individual and national bodies that was apparent in nationalist discourses in this period, the text performs a discomfiting oscillation between materialist constructions of disability as a social presence and the deployment of disability as a prosthesis standing in for colonial disablement and the mutilated - partitioned - body politic. ![]() Of all the texts analysed in this book, Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India (1991),1 a child-narrated account of the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, offers the most conflicted negotiation between material and metaphorical modes of representation. ![]() ![]() I’m a Batman fan from before I could read, but that didn’t mean I was 100% in sync with the then-current continuity. In writing Tim Drake, what were some decisions you made that helped get a handle on and appreciation for the character?Ĭhuck Dixon: It wasn’t that I needed to be talked into the job. You’ve spoken before that you didn’t accept the job at first because you didn’t care for Robin as a concept. TBU: Your first Batman work (and your first work for DC) was the initial Robin miniseries that launched the character of Tim Drake. ![]() Hope you enjoy this peek into the mind of a major force behind The Batman Universe that spanned two decades.
