Muslim Culture

This study aims to examine the poetics of the representation of Muslim culture, and, more generally, the worldview portrayed in a number of prominent Tajik films of both the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, and thus to determine the trends affecting the development of Tajik cinema in the early twenty-first century. With examples from selected films, cultural practices, and theatrical forms and traditions, the author distinguishes the salient features of the cinema of Tajikistan, including social normativity, spiritual escapism, the edifying nature of the films, and the thematic restriction meant to preserve traditional Muslim values.

Multicultural Citizenship

This chapter explains how the emergent controversy over multiculturalism/interculturalism resides in the logic of the necessary requirements for managing a society that recognises itself as diverse. The great multicultural debates of the late twentieth century, and even the early twenty-first century, followed a cultural rights-based approach to diversity. They were centred on questions such as the rights of cultural recognition in the public sphere and how to reassess equality and cultural rights of non-national citizens with different languages, religions, and cultural practices. This approach characterised multicultural citizenship studies until the emergence of a new paradigm that is taking shape in this second decade of the twenty-first century: intercultural citizenship.

The questions that drove Blake’s American reception, from its earliest moments in the nineteenth century through to the explosion of Blakeanism in the mid-twentieth century, did not disappear. Visions of America continued to be part of Blake’s late twentieth- and early twenty-first century American legacy. This chapter begins with the 1982 film Blade Runner, which was directed by the British Ridley Scott but had an American-authored screenplay and was based on a 1968 American novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It moves to Jim Jarmusch’s 1995 film, Dead Man and Paul Chan’s twenty-first century social activism as part of a protest group called The Friends of William Blake, exploring common themes of democracy, freedom, limit, nationhood, and poetic shape.
