Medievalisms
From King Arthur and Robin Hood, through to video games and jousting-themed restaurants, medieval culture continues to surround us and has retained a strong influence on literature and culture throughout the ages. This fascinating and illuminating guide is written by two of the leading contemporary scholars of medieval literature, and explores:
The influence of medieval cultural concepts on literature and film, including key authors such as Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Mark Twain
The continued appeal of medieval cultural figures such as Dante, King Arthur, and Robin Hood
The influence of the medieval on such varied disciplines such as politics, music, children's literature, and art.
Contemporary efforts to relive the Middle Ages.
Medievalisms: Making the Past in the Present surveys the critical field and sets the boundaries for future study, providing an essential background for literary study from the medieval period through to the twenty-first century.

Migratory Surfaces: An Informal Visual Economy and the Repair of the Colonial Archive
In London in November 2015, a major exhibition at the Tate Britain will explore the attempted departures, dispersals, trajectories, and trade routes of making and collecting art in the nineteenth century, and how these were mediated by the mutual entanglements of the European imperial project.2 In addition, Okwui Enwezor, a noted critical voice on matters of urbanity, African art in the postcolonial era, and the archive as subject and source, is curating the 2015 Venice Biennale. THE (AN)ARCHIVAL IMPULSE IN POSTCOLONIAL PAKISTAN Previously I have compared public destruction ceremonies of seized media to the burning of vernacular media archives, halting processes of preservation by dissemination, and of acquisition through digital migration.4 In many media landscapes, particularly in those countries indicted by the United States Trade Representative (USTR)'s Special 301 Report Watch List, an annual list of top violators of international copyright law, the architectonic environments of bootleg trading are revelatory of the socioeconomic conditions of the postcolonial metropolis.

Bananas!
BANANAS!* is a suspenseful court room drama that examines the intricacies and injustices of the global politics of food. Focusing on a landmark and highly controversial legal case pitting a dozen Nicaraguan banana plantation workers against Dole Food Corporation, BANANAS!* uncovers the alleged usage of a banned pesticide and its probable link to generations of sterilized workers. Central to both the film and case is Juan “Accidentes” Dominguez, a Los Angeles-based personal injury attorney who, although iconic within the Latino community for his ubiquitous billboard ads, is unquestionably facing the biggest case and challenge of his career. At stake in the classic David vs. Goliath story are the futures of generations of workers and their families, as well as the culture of global, multinational business. If successful, the case could rock the economic foundations of Dole, and could open the US courts to other global victims, representing a new day in international justice.
