It evaluates how filmmakers employ Voodoo aesthetics to reenact black women's spirituality on screen by engaging themes of body politics, expressions of sexuality, agency, self-determination, and cultural appropriation.Black Diasporic Worlds: Origins and Evolutions from New World SlavingMotion picturesSocial aspectsUnited StatesFeminist criticismUnited StatesReligion in motion picturesMotion picturesReligious aspectsFeminism and motion picturesAfrican Americans and mass mediaMotion picturesUnited StatesHistoryVodou in motion picturesMotion picturesSocial aspectsFeminist criticismReligion in motion pictures.Motion picturesReligious aspects.Feminism and motion pictures.African Americans and mass media.Motion picturesHistory.Vodou in motion pictures.791.43/682Martin Kameelah L.1978-1507489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798775703321Envisioning Black feminist voodoo aesthetics3738278UNINA02756nam 2200577 a 450 991086659070332120200520144314.01-86189-969-61-299-19103-7(CKB)2550000001006001(EBL)1127633(OCoLC)828424751(SSID)ssj0000907574(PQKBManifestationID)11570516(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000907574(PQKBWorkID)10903316(PQKB)10956052(MiAaPQ)EBC1127633(EXLCZ)99255000000100600120130222d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrItaly modern architectures in history /Diane Ghirardo1st ed.London Reaktion Books20131 online resource (338 p.)Modern architectures in historyDescription based upon print version of record.1-86189-864-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Italy Cover; Imprint Page; Contents; Introduction; 1.

Entering the Twenty-first Century; References; Select Bibliography; Acknowledgements; Photo Acknowledgements; IndexPacked in its dense, historic city centers, Italy holds some of the most prized architecture and art in the world, with which planners and politicians have had to negotiate as they struggle to cope with massive migration from the countryside to the city. Early modern architecture coincided with a sustained drive to transform a country that was still primarily rural into a modern industrial state, and throughout the twentieth century, architects in Italy have attempted to define the role of architecture within a capitalist economy and under diverse political systems.
