From dog-fighting in Mexico to issues of transsexuality in Cuba, contemporary Latin American cinema covers a diverse array of topics. Lauren Mulvey, British feminist film theorist, uses pyschoanaylitics to offer a feminist critique of all classical narrative cinema. She establishes that narrative cinema is viewed from the male gaze and women are coded for their "to-be-looked-at-ness". She offers that female characters add nothing or very little to actual elements of plot and character but rather are subjected to male scopophilia, the fetishistic and voyeuristic, due to phallocentrici...

A whole subcontinent was picked up without half trying Images of the British raj in India are everywhere of late. On television reruns, the divided rulers of Paul Scott's Jewel in the Crown sip their tea in scented hill stations and swap idle gossip in the palaces of local princes. At movie houses, we can savor all the hot intensities that blast a decorous English visitor the moment she steps ashore after A Passage to India, to be engulfed in a whirlwind of mendicants, elephants, snake charmers and crowds.

Abstract This paper will explore the role of defense in depth security procedures in improving computer and data security. It outlines step-by-step approaches for improving security by defining risks, assessing vulnerabilities, and implementing measures to reduce the likelihood that vulnerabilities may be exploited. The use of a defense-in-depth structure mandates that layered security mechanisms be used to increase security of the system as a whole. If an attack causes one security mechanism to fail, other mechanisms may still provide the necessary security to protect the system. This rese...

As such, the photovoltaic reaction of single-intersection cells is constrained to the segment of the sun's range whose energy is over the band hole of the engrossing material, and lower-energy photons are not utilized. One approach to get around this impediment is to utilize two (or more) diverse cells, with more than one band hole and more than one intersection, to produce a voltage. ...

Darwin's On the Origin of Species clearly contains the characteristics of a scientific paper in the sense that he presents a thesis, and rigorously supports it though abundant documentation of natural observations as well as experimental data. However unlike most scientific papers, his target audience is not specific to the men of his field. Instead, he argues against Creationism specifically and with it virtually all of Victorian England. Darwin carefully crafts his opening chapter to immediately grant him credit with the scientific community, but more importantly, the commoner throug...

This then leads to a continuous and controversial debate on democracy, in which Plato also b...
