This book examines the dramatic work of Dickens, Browning, Collins,
and Tennyson, their interaction with the theatrical world, and
their attempts to develop their reputations as playwrights. These
major Victorian writers each authored several professional plays,
but why has their achievement been overlooked?

Why do screen narratives remain so different in an age of
convergence and globalisation that many think is blurring
distinctions? This collection attempts to answer this question
using examples drawn from a range of media, from Hollywood
franchises to digital comics, and a range of countries, from the
United States to Japan

Gender and development theory and analysis is replete with implicit
assumptions that women's entry into the world of paid work will
positively affect their status both in the household and in the
public sphere. Until recently the debate on global factories and
export production has remained focused on women's individual
experience of export employment- and the extent to which this
represents a positive opportunity or gross exploitation. In spite
of the extended discussion of rights and citizenship in the global
economy, little attention has hitherto been paid to the
implications for women's entitlements arising out of their pivotal
role in export sectors. Whilst many assume that women's visible and
crucial presence in key economic sectors will be reflected in the
ways in which social policies are formulated, there has been up to
now little empirical and analytical engagement with this question.
This volume, bringing together detailed commissioned studies from
six developing countries, aims to fill this gap.
This book examines the interaction between multinationals and women in UK, Ireland, France and Germany, looking at inward investment by US and Japanese multinationals, as well as outward investment by European multinationals.;It attempts to show how multinationals perpetuate an unequal division of labour by gender in which women production workers are merely "nimble fingers". It discusses whether multinationals are exporting women's jobs from Europe in an international search for cheap labour; and it looks at how women have reacted to both the creation and destruction of employment by multinationals.
Multinationals have global reach in their search for profits;
women, even more than men, are confined to their immediate
community in their search for jobs. This book examines the
interaction between multinationals and women in UK, Ireland, France
and Germany, looking at inward investment by US and Japanese
multinationals, as well as outward investment by European
multinationals.
