Being. First, I examine the creation of the Subject vs Object dichotomy as seen in the Newtonian theory of Space, in relation to that of Leibniz.

of Bollywood’s actresses served to normalize sexual harassment. The new trend being, the asexual, good Indian girl (who ultimately is coveted by the hero) constructed against the sexualized item-girl and one instantly thinks of the mother-whore dichotomy in place here.
