Bondage in freedom : colonial plantations in southern India, c. 1797-1947

Opposing views persist with regard to the emergence of plantations in southern India and the transfer of slave labour to these plantations: the abolition of slavery as an end in itself and, second, as a means to an end. In spite of the fact that slavery had been abolished by the mid-nineteenth century, workers on plantations found themselves no better off than slaves and bondsmen - so intensive and painful was the ill treatment meted out to them. The workers with their newly realised freedom from the feudal relations spared no means to revolt against the new Masters. Yet, a truly systemic transformation failed to materialise. The present paper attempts to unravel the constituents of changing forms of bondage and the coercive/disciplinary strategies adopted by the planters which in effect gave rise to a new labour regime. It also attempts to unravel the way in which the reborn ‘slaves’ unleashed their resistance at the capitalist work sites.

Overcoming the challenges of phage therapy for industrial aquaculture: A review

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing sector in food industry. Its development is powered by the intensification ofthe production which increased bacterial disease occurrence and spreading. As aquaculture deeply relies on amassive prophylactic and therapeutic use of antibiotics, it is threatened by the emergence of multi drug resistantbacteria. The stalled development of new antibiotics makes finding new therapeutic solutions a burning issue.Thanks to their specific host range, their ability to treat both the farmed species and the environment, theirlimited ecological impact and their abundance in the environment, bacteriophages represent a promising sustainablesolution to control pathogenic aquaculture bacteria.In this review we discuss the interest of phage biocontrol for aquaculture and how can bacterial resistance,ecological, pharmacological and production related issues be solved

Dying in Full Detail

In 'Dying in Full Detail' Jennifer Malkowski explores digital media's impact on one of documentary film's greatest taboos: the recording of death. Despite technological advances that allow for the easy creation and distribution of death footage, digital media often fail to live up to their promise to reveal the world in greater fidelity. Malkowski analyzes a wide range of death footage, from feature films about the terminally ill (Dying, Silverlake Life, Sick), to surreptitiously recorded suicides (The Bridge), to #BlackLivesMatter YouTube videos and their precursors. Contextualizing these recordings in the long history of attempts to capture the moment of death in American culture, Malkowski shows how digital media are unable to deliver death "in full detail," as its metaphysical truth remains beyond representation

Distopijsko društvo u romanu Margaret Atwood Sluškinjina priča

Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian theocracy. This thesis analyzes dystopian elements in Atwood’s novel. It explores the Gileadan social hierarchy, emphasizing the imbalance between different social structures in the Republic of Gilead. It describes how the regime uses its power to limit one’s freedom, comparing the Atwood’s work with the classic slave narrative. Additionally, it explores the mechanics of fear in the novel, i.e. different methods the totalitarian regime uses in order to oppress its citizens. Since Atwood’s novel is a representative of the female dystopia, the position of women in the Republic of Gilead is discussed in detail. The paper focuses on different interpretations of women and their position in the overall society, relying on the principles of the second-wave feminism, as well as Plato’s understanding of women in The Republic. Further on, it debates whether sex is an act of compliance or rebellion. It compares the sexual repression present in Atwood’s novel with the one explored in Orwell’s 1984. This paper explains the influence of religious fundamentalism on the rise of the misogynistic regime in the Republic of Gilead. It compares Gileadan regime with the fundamentalist groups, listing several prominent fundamentalist features present in Atwood’s novel. The paper explores the notion of language in the Handmaid’s Tale, exemplifying how it can be used both as the means of oppression and act of rebellion
