Postcolonial Human Identity in Mahesh Dattani’s Select Plays

Mahesh Dattani is rightly regarded by the international Herald Tribune as one of the best and the most serious playwrights writing in English, His plays expose the violence of private thoughts and the hypocricy of public morality, Dattani wants to get rid of all kinds of evils in the society which spoil the degnifid life. All the atrocities in the name of religion, class, race, or gender can be eradicated if a person is able to understand the power of the human nature. It is not intelligent to be submissive to the cruelties of the oppressor and demising human dignity. This paper analyses a few plays of Dattani to prove that Dattani is against both the atrocities of the dominating and the submissiveness of the dominated in order to attain a dignified life with self -identity.

Letters from Paris

From 1957 to 1964, Annette Michelson wrote over seventy-five columns and reviews from Paris for the International Herald Tribune, Arts Magazine, and Art International. As Yve-Alain Bois demonstrates, Michelson's subject matter as an art critic during this time was varied, but her tone remained consistent and inimitable, characterized by erudition, irony, and attention to formal detail. Bois quotes from her self-confident appraisals of contemporary painting, traces her burgeoning interest in film, and highlights her particular interest in sculpture, from Daumier's modeled busts to Matisse's small bronze nudes to Tinguely's kinetic machines.

Re-artification in a World of De-artification: Materiality and Intellectualization in Fashion Media Discourse (1949–2010)

Through a grounded theory analysis of 1301 collection reviews from The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune, issued between 1949 and 2010, the article discusses the shift in the themes that journalists employ to make sense of the latest collections. Contemporary journalists pay far less attention to the materiality of fashion than their earlier colleagues did. In the late 20th century they construed designer fashion as an intellectual practice. The article traces this shift to developments in the structural organization of the field of high-end fashion production, which today is involved in a process of de-artification, as the commercial aspects of the fashion system became more apparent in the later 20th century. In the 1990s leading fashion journalists drew on the new intellectual conception of designer fashion to engage in a process of re-artification. Hereby they seek to create an image of cultural worth for their object of criticism and for themselves, while they also seek to reinforce the long-standing but challenged division between mass market and high-end fashion.
