Winner of the 2026 Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra International Publications Prize (Prémio Publicações Internacionais da FLUC)Ominous Homelands in World Cinema examines contemporary films from a range of national settings that expose and critically engage with representations of “Homeland” – a term that resurfaced with renewed intensity in the United States through the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11 and gained traction across Europe, contributing to the formation of new securitarian configurations whose impact has resonated globally.By drawing on contemporary films from different national contexts, and relating these with emerging political discourses, this book explores some of the new meanings and images associated with ideas of home and land. The analysis also traces how notions and representations of “Homeland” in popular culture have increasingly become infused with themes of security and control, not only linked to terrorism but also progressively connected to a number of other global processes such as the so-called “refugee crisis,” the emergence of new geopolitical powers, wars and the rise of authoritarian leaders and nationalistic movements in different parts of the world.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in media and film studies, American studies, cultural studies, critical security studies, international relations, contemporary history and global studies.

Ominous Homelands in World Cinema examines contemporary films, produced in different national contexts, which disclose and interrogate ideas and images of “Homeland”— a concept which re-emerged in the US after 9/11, and has since travelled to Europe and other parts of the world.
By drawing on contemporary films from different national contexts, and relating these with emerging political discourses, this book explores some of the new meanings associated with notions of “Homeland” since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in the US in 2002. The analysis shows how notions and images of “Home/land” have come to absorb securitarian connotations in popular culture, not only linked to terrorism but progressively connected to a number of other global processes such as the so-called “refugee crisis,” the emergence of new geo-political powers, new wars and the rise of authoritarian leaders and nationalistic movements in different parts of the world.
This book will interest students and scholars not only in film studies, media studies and popular culture, but also in global security, contemporary history, American studies, and global cultural studies

Extending the study of post-9/11 literature to include transnational perspectives, this book explores the ways in which contemporary writers from Europe as well as the USA have responded to the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the ensuing 'war on terror.' Transatlantic Fictions of 9/11 and the ‘War on Terror' demonstrates the ways in which contemporary fiction has wrestled with anxieties about national and international security in the 21st century. Reading a wide range of novels by such writers as Amy Waldman, Michael Cunningham, Frédéric Beigbeder, Ian McEwan, Joseph O'Neill, Moshin Hamid, José Saramago, Ricardo Menéndez Salmón, J.M. Coetzee and Salman Rushdie, Susana Araújo explores how the rhetoric of the 'war on terror' has shaped recent representations of the city and how “security” discourses circulate transatlantically and transnationally. By focusing not only on 9/11 but also on the way subsequent events such as the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq are represented in fiction, this book demonstrates how notions of “terror” and “insecurity” have been absorbed, reworked or critiqued in fiction. Araújo examines to what extent transatlantic relations have reinforced or challenged new fictions of “white western middle class captivity.”

Fear and Fantasy in a Global World

At a time when the mass media insist on bombarding us with news about natural, political and economic disasters, words, ideas and images associated with such “crises” and “catastrophes” shape to a great extent collective memory and current imagination. Fear and Fantasy in a Global World seeks to stir the debate on the processes and meanings of, as well as on the relations between, fear and fantasy in the globalized world. Collective fears and fantasies are analysed from a number of cross-disciplinary perspectives, promoted by the epistemological underpinnings of comparative literature. In various ways and from different disciplinary angles, the 17 essays here gathered respond to and scrutinize key questions related to the imaginaries of fear and fantasy, as well as their relations to trauma, crisis, anxiety, and representations of both the conscious and the unconscious.Contributors: Alexandra Hills, Ana Filipa Prata, Brecht de Groote, Christin Grunert, Christopher Bollas, Daniela Di Pasquale, David Vichnar, Edith Beltrán, Gero Guttzeit, Hande Gurses, Harriet Hulme, James Rushing Daniel, João Pedro da Costa, Margarita García Candeira, Marija Sruk, Martijn Boven, and Ortwin de Graef.

This book comprehensively introduces all aspects of the physiology, stress responses and tolerance to abiotic stresses of the Fabaceae plants. Different plant families have been providing food, fodder, fuel, medicine and other basic needs for the human and animal since the ancient time. Among the plant families Fabaceae have special importance for their agri-horticultural importance and multifarious uses apart from the basic needs. Interest in the response of Fabaceae plants toward abiotic stresses is growing considering the economic importance and the special adaptive mechanisms. Recent advances and developments in molecular and biotechnological tools has contributed to ease and wider this mission. This book provides up-to-date findings that will be of greater use for the students and researchers, particularly Plant Physiologists, Environmental Scientists, Biotechnologists, Botanists, Food Scientists and Agronomists, to get the information on the recent advances on this plant family in regard to physiology and stress tolerance.
