Abstract:
This article explores the demise of the Crompton Company, which filed for bankruptcy in October 1984, causing 2,450 workers in five states to lose their jobs. Crompton was founded in 1807 in Providence, Rhode Island and when it went out of business it was the oldest textile firm in the country, having been in continuous operation for 178 years. Despite its history, scholars have overlooked Crompton, partly because most work on deindustrialization has concentrated on heavy manufacturing industries, especially steel and automobiles. I argue that Crompton's demise throws much light on the broader

AbstractThis article analyzes the phenomena of dancing and wedding apparel in weddings of rural members of an unusual Protestant denomination of Anabaptist origins in Matabeleland, colonial Zimbabwe.

The church in North America was firm at home on the matter of dancing (it was forbidden), and internally conflicted regarding men's garb.

Ellis Island remains in the American collective consciousness a centre of immigration where thousands of Europeans who expected to enter the United States between 1892 and 1954, went through.

It is the vision of this bridge, or rather a no man’s land between the two worlds that Emanuele Crialese wants to give of Ellis Island in his movie Nuovomondo (Golden Door in the international version). It deals with the journey to America of a Sicilian family at the beginning of the 20th century. It is divided into three parts

In The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin argues that the American dream is far from being a reality in part because there is much Americans do not wish to know about themselves.

Baldwin’s politics and thinking about race and religion are informed by an optimistic belief in the human capacity to love and change for the better, in contrast with Ta-Nehisi Coates, the heir apparent to Baldwin’s legacy.

Abstract:
Abstract As the apparent progeny of Cold War politics in the West, espionage films witnessed unprecedented popularity around the globe in the 1960s. With the success of Dr. No (1962) and Goldfinger (1964)—along with French, Italian, and German copycats—in Asia, film industries in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea recognized the market potential and embarked on churning out their own James Bond-mimetic espionage films in the late 1960s. Since the regional political sphere has always been multifaceted, however, each country approached genre conventions with its own interpretation. In the

Abstract:
After the July 1971 Theses, in which Ceaușescu harshly criticized “the plodding towards what is foreign and especially towards what is produced in the West”, it was no longer possible to make films in communist Romania without a clear, “on the line” ideological orientation. The idealization of everyday life in the communist present and the falsification of history became sine qua non conditions for Romanian film in the next two decades. And yet, after those (few) years of freedom and apparent openness to the West (ca. 1968-1970), when the public could enjoy a few foreign films, especially “Ame

The central concept of the article is performance as a form of expression specific to non-normative people. In confrontation with the oppressive discourse of dominant groups, the body of an excluded individual and its metamorphoses in themselves appear to be an alternative way of non-alienated expression. This phenomenon is discussed via the example of the practices of New York’s ballroom culture — primarily via the example of the film Paris is Burning from 1990, directed by Jennie Livingston. In the ballroom community, black and non-heteronormative Americans found a safe space for experiments

Abstract:
Pumiceous deposits, commonly found in volcanic regions such as the Ring of Fire and the Alpide Belt, pose significant engineering challenges due to the presence of highly crushable and compressible grains in their matrix. These deposits exhibit complex geotechnical characteristics and are frequently linked to natural events like landslides and earthquakes. Research in countries such as New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Italy, and Central and South America aims to better understand the mechanical behaviour of these materials.

US–China economic ties have expanded substantially since China began reforming its economy and liberalizing its trade regime in the late 1970s. Total US–China merchandise trade rose from $2 billion in 1979 (when China’s economic reforms began) to $636 billion in 2017. China is currently the United States’ largest merchandise trading partner, its third-largest export market, and its biggest source of imports. There are multiple areas of disagreement that preceded the trade war. One ground is that China is buying off American assets. It is also alleged that China violates US patent rights. It is

Currently, the diagnosis of ITP is principally based on the exclusion of other possible concurrent causes of thrombocytopenia. In the guidelines proposed by the American Society of Hematology, the panel recommended that no specific laboratory tests are considered necessary for the diagnosis. However, availability of reliable laboratory assays should be helpful in supporting the diagnosis of ITP.

The concept of ‘Gondwana’, an ancient Southern Hemisphere supercontinent, is firmly established in geological and biogeographical models of Earth history. The term Gondwana (Gondwanaland of some authors) derives from the recognition by workers at the Indian Geological Survey in the mid- to late 19th century of a distinctive sedimentary sequence preserved in east central India. This succession, now known to range in age from Permian to Cretaceous, is lithologically and palaeontologically similar to coeval non-marine sedimentary successions developed in most of the Southern Hemisphere continents

It also suggests a connection to the apparent lack of intellectual vitality claimed to exist on many American campuses. At the same time, drawing on discursive traditions associa

Analyzing 11,757 firm‐year observations from 19 emerging countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America between 2013 and 2022, we document a U‐shaped relationship between ESG performance and firm value, with financial performance failing to mediate this nexus.
