Smita’s narrative is interjected with Meena’s first-person narrative as she talks about her life with Abdul and her struggle to fight the violent system of female oppression that led to the attack against her. Honor follows the story of Smita, told from a third-person limited point of view, as she returns to India to write a newspaper article on Meena, a woman who was assaulted by her brothers for marrying a Muslim man and subsequently filed a lawsuit against them.

One of my favorite ever award show jokes is from the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards when John Mulaney describes Frances McDormand thusly: "Frances McDormand, you are no bullshit.

Traverso's argument draws on Walter Benjamin's notions of materialist history, redemptive memory, and knowing melancholy. ![]() After the end of the Soviet Union and the global triumph of neoliberal capitalism, the communist utopian imagination of a classless society, Traverso suggests, can be reignited through memorial practices of resilient, resistant melancholy. Enzo Traverso's inspired book Left-Wing Melancholia revisits iconic representations of revolutionary hopes and defeats not to draw up an inventory of what has been lost but rather to remind his readers that past defeats also contain the traces of unfulfilled possibilities. ![]() ![]() Ironically, between the events of " The General (Foundation)" and " The Mule", Trantor is sacked.
