'Bad' Women of Bombay Films

This book presents a feminist mapping of the articulation and suppression of female desire in Hindi films, which comprise one of modern India’s most popular cultural narratives. It explores the lineament of evil and the corresponding closure of chastisement or domesticity that appear as necessary conditions for the representation of subversive female desire. The term ‘bad’ is used heuristically, and not as a moral or essential category, to examine some of the iconic disruptive women of Hindi cinema and to uncover the nexus between patriarchy and other hierarchies, such as class, caste and religion in these representations. The twenty-one essays examine the politics of female desire/s from the 1930s to the present day - both through in-depth analyses of single films and by tracing the typologies in multiple films. The essays are divided into five sections indicating the various gendered desires and rebellions that patriarchal society seeks to police, silence and domesticate.

Imaging Living Cells

Improved technology for imaging living cells, specific cellular targets and organelles is having a dramatic impact on basic and applied research. By combining optical design and molecular genetics, a new series of tools is being developed and successfully applied together with classical probes. Novel labelling strategies, better software for image enhancement and analysis are now available and allow image acquisition with greater speed and precision. This lab manual, intended as for bench-top use, is suitable for both scientists and graduate students, combines an update on the most advanced imaging procedures with detailed protocols. Examples, cleverly selected from the wide repertoire of cell pyhsiology, cover different functional aspects such as distribution of multiple ions, electrical activity, exo-endocytosis, gene expression, and the cell cycle.
