From Ex Machina to Men, Alex Garland is always exploring original sin
[image: Jessie Buckley bites into an apple.] Alex Garland’s new film *Men* is rife with Eden imagery — but that’s true of all of his work. | A24 The filmmaker’s new movie continues his penchant for ancient iconography and spoiled paradise. He’d almost certainly resist pinning it down this way. But the more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that Alex Garland’s directorial work is a variety of angles on one core, eternally troubling, ancient idea: the notion of humankind’s original sin. It’s a mythic, biblical sort of idea, that we were made for paradise but spoiled it. Yet... read more

British Missionaries And Their Sati Propaganda
In the final years of the eighteenth century, British missionaries started exaggerating the occurrence of sati in India because they wanted to make the case that burning widows at the funeral pyre of their husbands was a common practice among India’s Hindus, and that christianization and anglicization of India was necessary to save the Hindu widows from the fate of being burned alive. The missionary propaganda turned sati into a sort of “original sin” of the Hindus even though sati had always been the rarest of the rare crimes in India. In Hinduism, fire is seen as a purifying a... read more
