Postcolonial Studies in Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 9 years, 5 months agoThe ability to colonize, even to poison the people under the power of a colonial power has been studied in other countries. I would claim that the same “dumping” goes on in the Rust belt. People living in the Rust Belt in the US are under-represented in the United States “imaginary.”
Having grown up in the Rust Belt the child of a s…[Read more]

CLCS 20th- and 21st-Century on MLA Commons 9 years, 5 months agoAbstract: This article poses a challenge to contemporary historicist tendency to silence significant semantic threads within Hamlet, attempts to restore our critical interest in the age-old problem of delay of the protagonist, and thus distinguish the text in itself from its historicised version.
