09/09/2010

Professors Dom Alessio (Professor of History and Director of the Study Abroad Program) and Jessica Langer (former Adjunct Professor of History and Communication at Richmond and now a professor at University of Toronto), have just had their second co-authored piece come out. The piece is entitled “Science Fiction, Hindu Nationalism and Modernity: Bollywood’s Koi... Mil Gaya”. It was published in a new book edited by E. Hoagland and R. Sarwal entitled, Science Fiction, Imperialism and the Third World (McFarland Press, 2010). Their chapter examines Bollywood science fiction film and how such cultural productions can be used to chart the rise and influence of Hindu extremism in modern India. It also examines contemporary Indian responses to western political, cultural and economic hegemony.
