It is an interdisciplinary project that spans fine art, film, colonial and legal policy, manifestos, prose fiction, and theoretical and philosophical texts concerning the relationship between France and Algeria. Khanna investigates gendered representation, identification, and justice, and in the process, calls into question the ways in which conventional disciplinary frameworks foreclose certain avenues of reflection while foregrounding others. Algeria Cuts seeks to understand Algeria and Algerian women as a philosophical site that facilitates an understanding of justice and the pursuit of feminism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007581618449,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007584338193,"sku":"NIN9780804752626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00G3LN2GE.jpg?v=1757413745"},{"product_id":"asylum-book-ranjana-khanna-9781478034476","title":"Asylum","description":"In \u003ci\u003eAsylum\u003c\/i\u003e, Ranjana Khanna examines how sanctuaries, refugee camps, mental asylums, holding facilities for asylum seekers, and state boundaries are all understood through the term \"asylum.\" Engaging with continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary theory, postcolonial studies, and Marxist critique, Khanna considers the multiple and entangled senses of asylum in the histories of mental health, incarceration, and human rights. She shows that a diversity of forms of migration are assessed in the terms of a new set of moral criteria concerning the right to political asylum. Simultaneously signifying safety and incarceration, Khanna shows how postcolonial asylum constructs spaces of hospitality and hostility that render divisions between the human and nonhuman, dignity and shame, value and disposability.
