This book questions how feminist beliefs are enacted within an artistic context. It critically examines the intersection of violence, gender, performance and power through contemporary interventionist performances. The volume explores a host of key themes like feminism and folk epic, community theatre, performance as radical cultural intervention, volatile bodies and celebratory protests. Through analysing performances of theatre stalwarts like Usha Ganguly, Maya Krishna Rao, Sanjoy Ganguly, Shilpi Marwaha and Teejan Bai, the volume discusses the complexities and contradictions of a feminist reading of contemporary performances. A major intervention in the field of feminism and performance, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of gender studies, performance studies, theatre studies, women’s studies, cultural studies, sociology of gender and literature.

Take one tent. Fill with 12 amateur bakers. Garnish with one venerable cookery writer, one blue-eyed bread-maker, and two comedy queens with a love of innuendo. And there you have the recipe for the most popular show of our times. When The Great British Bake Off made its debut in August 2010, it had the makings of a modest hit. But nobody – not the programme-makers and certainly not those first contestants – could have predicted what was to come. Here was a show in which the biggest weekly drama was whether or not a sponge cake would sink in the middle. And oh, how we loved it. Here is the ultimate Bake Off fan book: from bread lion to bin-gate; heart throbs to Twitter trolls; soggy bottoms to sticky buns. This is the celebration of Britain's most popular cookery contest.

The present title describes the entire work on this topic in five different sections to accomplish specific objectives. Section (1) describes determination of effect of low temperature treatment on longevity and morphological characteristics of P. ricini larvae. Section (2) presents the determination of the levels of some biochemical constituents in cold stressed P. ricini larvae. Section (3) deals with the evaluation of the activities of some key enzymes such in P. ricini larvae exposed to low temperature. Keeping in view the role of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in mediating nerve impulse transmission, Section (4) was added to demonstrate the impact of cold stress on silk worms and other insects. In order to present the assessment of the impact of cold stress onto the extent of gene expression in the insects, Section (5) exhibits protein profiling of P. ricini larvae exposed to the cold shock below the sub-optimal rearing temperature for a specific time period which demonstrated the appearance of additional protein bands. We are confident that the present book may be of great use to all those interested in knowing response of insects in general and the silk worms in particular.
