2018 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 8 years, 1 month agoIf you want to get away from the conference and eat the best/cheapest South Indian food, go to Temple Canteen. Take the 7 train to Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Ave, Woodside, or Citifield & catch a cab/Lyft from there. The ride won’t cost much & you’ll save $ on the food. Seriously cheap & you can get a feast. Open daily 8:30 to 9:30.

Tobias Steiner deposited Bron/Broen, the Pilot Episode as Space between Cultures, and (re)negotiations of Nordic Noir in the group
MS Screen Arts and Culture on MLA Commons 8 years, 1 month agoNordic Noir has, since the early-2000s, evolved into a globally-popular genre that now easily transcends media-specific boundaries.

Indeed, the variety and ubiquity of a professorial character across a range of post soul fictional novels is not simply a curiosity to comment on, but phenomena available for critical interrogation. This analysis explores the location of Deck Lee’s c…[Read more]

TM Literary and Cultural Theory on MLA Commons 8 years, 1 month agoPostcolonial theory has a people problem. By this, I am unabashedly suggesting that postcolonial theoreticians’ overemphasis on people as the site of analysis lies at the heart of the limitations of the field’s key terms, epistemological boundaries, and approach to understanding phenomena as a whole. Indeed, if postcolonial theory and its rel…[Read more]
