As Stern argues, this pattern concludes with Julie riding off on a cart of yellow fever victims—a different kind of “social death” than that described by Orlando Patterson, but one which illustrates the kind of “affinity” across racial lines that Stern traces across Davis’s career (50). One result of Stern’s careful readings of costume and makeup is a stunning account of whiteness in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? As the penultimate chapter, this reading of Jane’s maniacal efforts as a clutching at white privilege and politics of resentment in the film’s present of 1962 represents a culmination of the work Stern has carefully prepared to this point. She argues, “Bette Davis’s whiteface masquerade . . . would mark an attempt to solidify her social status above the African American housekeeper. She believes Elvira has kicked her down the chain of being. As ultra-white, there can be no mistaking her station” (153). The argument of this chapter is one that will make readers want to revisit this cult classic to consider its deeper significance and perhaps teach the film rather than leaving it to late-night screenings. In addition to being an enjoyable read, it is easy to imagine this book being incorporated into classes on race and popular culture alongside other recent books such as Miriam Petty’s Stealing the Show and Alisha Gaines’s Black for a Day. Together, these books consider the way fan attachments and star turns complicate theories of cross-racial identification and the staging of racial difference. Turning to an iconic white actress and her racialized performances onscreen and off, Bette Davis Black and White offers a model for engagement with stardom that may be at once deeply personal and idiosyncratic and culturally significant.","PeriodicalId":18699,"journal":{"name":"Modernism/modernity","volume":"30 1","pages":"215 - 217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43542335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Majumdar also locates a crisis of masculinity within the city films. Whereas some of Ray’s previous films, such as Mahanagar (The Big City, 1963), which is also set in an urban environment, imagined the woman as the modern postcolonial subject, his later trilogy is almost solely focused on male protagonists as central figures within the milieu of urban conflict. The epilogue reflects on the possible reasons for the decline of art cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. Majumdar finds two major developments as causes for this decline: one, the reconfiguration of National Film Development Corporation from a funding entity to a one focused on procuring modernized equipment for film production and, two, the growth of the televisual sector in India that began in the 1980s and reached its full-blown potential in the 1990s post-liberalization. Majumdar concludes her book with this insightful sentence about the significance of art cinema across time: “In this, art films offer us resources with which to inhabit our own disorienting times—wracked by a global pandemic, authoritarian politics, and the tremendous might of neoliberal states challenging the conditions of being citizens and humans the world over” (229). Although Majumdar’s book as a whole is a rich secondary source of the ideas and opinions of those at the forefront of the Indian cinematic avant-garde, it is the second part of the book that proves to be the most accessible and engaging to read. Quoted extracts from archives, letters, biographies, newspaper articles, and essays in film magazines—presented in collated form in the first three chapters—function as a retelling, yet certain pertinent ideas remain unexamined or are mentioned only in passing. Questions such as the relationship of class and caste elitism to “good cinema” (a term never quite defined by the author), for instance, remain in the background even as large sections of written archives are reproduced verbatim in the book. Most important, is perhaps the question of why Majumdar’s interrogation of art cinema remains Bengal-centric and ignores the work of filmmakers such as Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Gulzar, Mani Kaul, and Sai Paranjpye, among others, who were also at the forefront of the Indian New Wave. Despite some of its thematic lacunae, Majumdar’s book is painstakingly researched and well-documented and provides a useful starting point to any researcher interested in the origins and history of the Indian New Wave.","PeriodicalId":18699,"journal":{"name":"Modernism/modernity","volume":"63 11-14","pages":"213 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41307834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A brain is dissected into two-dimensional slices, from which the anatomist must then project its three-dimensional structures; similarly, “Stein’s descriptive method in The Making of Americans is almost sculptural, evoking a spatial quality similar to the sense of volume present in her descriptions of the morphology of neuronal tissues” (215). Finally, in “Clouds” we return to Robertson and her claim that “description is the imagination of matter,” a Lucretian idea by which “description does not operate representationally, as a transparent layer through which phenomena are observed; rather, it operates additively, as a mode of decoration, which elaborates the surfaces of entities” (266–67). A poetics of liveliness adds to or amplifies the phenomena it describes, communicating the activity of materiality to the reader; to return to Elizabeth Grosz’s idea about “the subsistence of the ideal in the material”: “Such a position suggests that ideality is immanent in materiality so as to provide the framing conditions for a nonreductive materialism. In other words, it seeks to ‘frame, orient, and direct material things and processes,’ allowing matter to become other than what it is in the present and to assume meaning” (274). Smailbegović’s gamble follows that of Jane Bennett, who argues that “a touch of anthropomorphism . . . can catalyze a sensibility” that reveals “‘isomorphisms’ across what had previously seemed to be ‘categorical divides’” (164). In other words, her project is to break down reified discourses of materiality by means of a poetics as lively as the nonhuman things it describes, or decorates. It is a significant, serious, yet playful account of how, in the hands of these poetnaturalists, metaphor can be used strategically to liberate readers and their reading matter alike.","PeriodicalId":18699,"journal":{"name":"Modernism/modernity","volume":"30 1","pages":"219 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46427053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
