Race and the Senses
The Most Beautiful Job in the World
Christopher Brown & Sachi Sekimoto
An emblematic sector of contemporary capitalism, fashion, today, is one of its most powerful industries and one of its most efficient dream merchants. In this work the author sets out to understand and deconstruct the symbolic power which surrounds the creative members of the high fashion and ready-to-wear industries. Based on an in-depth investigation involving designers, models, freelance creators, hairdressers, make-up artists, salespeople, journalists, dressmakers, interns, sales representatives, etc., this book reveals the reality of the work behind the glamorous facade of fashion.
The Felt Politics of Racial Embodiment In this book, Sachi Sekimoto and Chris Brown show how race is not simply marked on our bodies, but rather is felt or sensed. They argue that bodily experiences of race are an important part of the mechanisms of social and ideological constructions of race that uphold hierarchy and oppression. Grounded on the authors’ experiences, one as a Japanese woman living in the USA, and the other as an African American man from Chicago, this is a book about how we feel the racialized world into being.

Why Muslim Women and Smartphones Mirror Images
Karen Waltorp, Aarhus University, Denmark In this study, Karen Waltorp examines the effect that social media has upon Muslim women in Denmark. Building on years of ethnographic fieldwork, Waltorp's ethnography reflects her trusting relationships with these women which in turn open up nuanced discussions about both the subject at hand and best practice in conducting anthropological research. With a strong combination of rich detail and theoretical framing, this will be an important read for students of anthropology, visual culture and ethnography, and Muslim studies.

An Anthropology of Home and Mobility in Europe
A Theoretical Approach to Shifting Roofs Paolo Boccagni, University of Trento, Italy, Alejandro Miranda Nieto, University of Trento, Italy, Sara Bonfanti, University of Trento, Italy & Aurora Massa, University of Trento, Italy This book lays out a framework for understanding connections between home and mobility, and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into pressing contemporary topics such as forced migration, diversity and inequality. Using original fieldwork conducted across Europe, the authors consider a comparative approach with case studies from Latin America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

Living with Strangers
Bedsits and Boarding Houses in Modern English Life, Literature and Film Edited by Chiara Briganti, King's College London, UK & Kathy Mezei, Simon Fraser University, Canada This book examines the history and cultural representation of bed-sitting rooms and boarding houses in England from the early 20th century to the present. The authors explore how these alternative domestic spaces came to provide shelter for a diverse demographic from working women to criminals. Drawing on historical records, case studies, and examples from literature, art, and film, they look at the prevalence of bedsits in novels, detective thrillers, cartoons, Ealing comedies, and contemporary fiction and film. This is a significant contribution to the growing cross-disciplinary field of home studies.

Food Identities at Home and on the Move Explorations at the Intersection of Dwelling and Belonging
Edited by Raul Matta, Taylor's University, Malaysia, Charles-Edouard de Suremain, Director of Investigation, UMR 208 PaLoc « Local Heritage, Environment & Globalization » (IRD/ MNHN, Paris, France) & Chantal Crenn, Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France This volume examines how the idea of “home” is negotiated around food in the current worldwide context of uncertainty, mobility, and displacement.

Thinking Home
Interdisciplinary Dialogues Edited by Bojana Petric, Birkbeck University of London, UK & Sanja Bahun, University of Essex, UK In a period which has seen unprecedented levels of movement across the globe, Sanja Bahun and Bojana Petric have collated essays that examine what it means to be at home. While ideas about the home inform our feelings of belonging and displacement, and our activities, such as migration, housing, and language learning, Thinking Home looks to specific under-studied areas and presents a framework for assessment of these aspects using multiple disciplinary and expressive lenses. Fresh, timely and topical, this collection is rooted in activism and policy-making in the sector of 'home'.

Space, Identity and Belonging in the Nineteenth-Century American West Nina Vollenbröker
Entangled Things takes the concept of entanglement as its starting point in investigating the often unintentional relationship between us and the material things we love or hate, are obsessed with or reliant upon. Alison Hulme uses each chapter to focus on a specific ethnography to illustrate a particular form of entanglement and uses this to discuss specific theories that relate to entanglement.
This book considers how migrants and settlers in the 19th-century American West used their architecture, spatial practice, clothes and diet to make themselves at home in unfamiliar surroundings. Nina Vollenbröker brings together a large number of historic photographs, drawings, manuscript diaries and needlework projects from archives across the United States and, in the process, deconstructs stereotypes which have clung to the nineteenth-century western spaces and people for decades.

Caravans
Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe Hege Høyer Leivestad, Stockholm University, Sweden Leivestad opens the caravan door to show how daily life is organised among Britons and Swedes in mobile homes. This highly detailed, engaging and topical ethnography investigates how the caravan and campsite come to fit and challenge conventional domestic ideals, and how the static mobile caravan can instill a sense of freedom despite always staying still. As the first ethnographic study of caravan life, this is a refreshing take on contemporary mobility debates.

The Anthropologist as Curator Edited by Roger Sansi
Can the ethnographer learn from the managing skills developed by curators? Are there skills to be learned by anthropologists from curators in relation to mediation? Are the micro-politics of mediation between institutions, communities, and different kinds of agent something for consideration in anthropological study? In this collection, these questions are engaged with, alongside ideas from Arnd Schneider, Chris Wright and Tim Ingold to suggest a new way of thinking about anthropological practice.

The Time of Anthropology
Studies of Contemporary Chronopolitics Edited by Elisabeth Kirtsoglou & Bob Simpson Using questions raised as part of the Enlightenment movement, this volume is structured around some of the key themes the Enlightenment fostered, including human nature, time, earth and the cosmos, beauty, order, harmony and design, and moral sentiments. The volume focuses in particular on how 'moral sentiment' offered a guiding idea in Enlightenment thought, and the idea of it is central to the essays' grappling with the ethical anxieties of contemporary anthropology. With an Afterword from Marilyn Strathern, this volume will be a strong addition to the ASA conference proceedings.

Ethnographic Encounters
Crowds, masses and other types of large groups form in every human culture and society. But what exactly is a crowd? This book features essays from ten anthropologists who reflect on encounters with crowds during their fieldwork. The wide selection of case studies includes crowds at the Hajj, New Year celebrations in China, commuters on the Delhi metro, and protest movements in Thailand and Syria. A key contribution towards establishing an anthropological theory of crowds, this is essential reading for students and researchers.

How are notions of ‘home’ made and negotiated by ethnographers? And how does the researcher relate to forms of home encountered during fieldwork? This collection asks how home gains its meaning and significance through ongoing efforts to create, sustain or remake a sense of home. It explores how researchers and informants alike are involved in the process of making and unmaking home, and challenges readers to reimagine ethnographic practice in terms of active, morally complex processes of home-making. Contributions reach across the globe and different social contexts, including council housing and middle-class apartment buildings, and homelessness and migration.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art
An Anthropology of Identity Production in Far North Queensland Gretchen Stolte, the University of Western Australia, Australia. This book explores how urban indigenous artists in Queensland, Australia, face a number of stereotypes and public expectations when producing art. In particular, this book demonstrates that the actions of the government body established in the 1950s to create a market for Aboriginal art, Queensland Aboriginal Creations (QAC), has left a mixed legacy for Queensland's indigenous artists. Their art styles have been misinterpreted as derivative copies of ‘true’ indigenous works and positive outcomes that emerged from QAC’s engagement with communities and artists have been overlooked.

Jagannath, Popular Culture and Community Formation
What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the study of anthropology? Using insights from art curators and anthropologists, this volume uses the Dak'Art biennale to encourage conversations around these topics. The book surveys the history of the event and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art in Senegal. It also includes discussions on Dak’Art's objectives and its position in the international art world’s networks.
Jagannath is metonymic of Odisha and Odia way of life, arguably much more than any other god for a particular geography or its peoples. The volume attempts looks at the deployment of Jagannath in contemporary cultural practices involving the sensorium in the widest sense. Jagannath’s tribal origin, his association with Buddhism and Jainism and his avatari status makes him an all-encompassing, multi-layered symbol and a treasure trove for multiple interpretations.

Politics of Recuperation
Denis Regnier, University of French Polynesia in Tahiti.
Edited by Francisco Martinez
Ethnography, History, Cognition
Denis Regnier explores the prejudice against slave descendants in highland Madagascar and considers its persistence for more than a century after the official abolition of slavery. Regnier's field experiments prove the inaccuracy of the widely accepted idea that the social stigma against slavery is a legacy of pre-colonial society. With fascinating implications, based on detailed and painstaking fieldwork, Regnier's work will be of interest to anthropologists of Africa, students of international development, and those looking at the legacy of slavery.

Repair and Recovery in Post-Crisis Portugal How did Portuguese society recover after the economic crisis? Through a range of ethnographic case studies focusing on the Portuguese recovery, this book begins a conversation about the experience of recuperation. With chapters focusing on public art in Lisbon and on recuperative modes of action, the book takes a thorough look at a society in post-economic crisis, and shows how the people of the community created micro-communities of resistance. Ultimately, Politics of Recuperation reflects on the meaning of personal and collective resilience in Europe today, as well as on the limits and margins of contemporary democracy.

Collaborations
Anthropology in a Neoliberal Age Edited by Emma Heffernan, Fiona Murphy & Jonathan Skinner Cuts in public spending and the introduction of neoliberal values into academia have led to growing pressure on the humanities and social sciences to justify their impact and utility. Collaborations responds to this challenge and explains how anthropology can not only survive but thrive under these conditions. Arguing ‘in defence of’ anthropology, the book demonstrates its continued importance and shows how the discipline contributes towards solving major problems in contemporary society. It also suggests that symbiotic collaboration with other disciplines is the key to anthropology’s longterm sustainability and survival.

Early Islamic North Africa
Jose C. Carvajal Lopez, University of Leicester, UK
Corisande Fenwick, University College London, UK

This fresh approach to the study of Islamisation suggests an innovative conceptual framework by dealing with the subject as a particular case of cultural change. This makes Islamisation amenable to the research through the archaeological and historical analyses of changes in material conditions of life. The aim is to provide an explanation of what Islam and Islamisation mean in a particular social context. The book will appeal to scholars interested in associating cultural and religious change and, in particular, those working on Islam, whether within or outside archaeology.

A New Perspective
Presenting a challenge to the current debates about the impact of the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam in North Africa, this volume proposes a new approach to this pivotal period. It offers the first assessment of the archaeology of early Islamic North Africa, drawing on a wide range of new evidence from recent archaeological work. Essential reading for those interested in understanding the impact of the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam on daily life, it will also challenge students of archaeology and history to think in new ways about North Africa, the nature of the earliest Islamic empires and the transition from the Roman to the medieval Mediterranean.

Afterglow of Empire
Egypt from the Fall of the New Kingdom to the Saite Renaissance (Revised Edition) Aidan Dodson
Discovery at Rosetta Revealing Ancient Egypt Jonathan Downs
During the half-millennium from the eleventh through the sixth centuries BC, the power and the glory of the imperial pharaohs of the New Kingdom crumbled in the face of internal crises and external pressures. Much of this era remains obscure, with little consensus among Egyptologists. Against this background, Aidan Dodson considers the era's art, architecture, and archaeology and proposes a number of new solutions to the problems of the period. Afterglow of Empire is extensively illustrated with images of this material, much of which is little known to non-specialists.
In 1798, the young French general, Napoleon Bonaparte, entered Egypt with an army and a brigade of savants, scientists, anthropologists, and historians. His aim was not just conquest on the banks of the Nile but the rediscovery of the ancient world after centuries of Ottoman rule. At the heart of this quest was a stone that was discovered in the small town of Rosetta in the Nile Delta that would offer the key to unlock the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Discovery at Rosetta reveals the extraordinary characters involved in the race to decipher the Stone's code, as well as the story of how the English won the battle to claim the Stone.

The Quest for Thoth’s Book of Secrets Egyptian Magic illustrated with wonderful and mysterious objects from European museum collections, describes how Egyptian sorcerers used their craft to protect the weakest members of society, to support the gods in their fight against evil, and to imbue the dead with immortality, and explores the arcane systems and traditions of the occult that governed this well-organized universe of ancient Egypt.

Notes and Views in Egypt and Nubia Edited by Jason Thompson The great nineteenth-century British traveler Edward William Lane (1801–76) was the author of several highly influential works. Yet in 1831, publication of one of his greatest works, Description of Egypt, was delayed, and eventually dropped. The manuscript was sold to the British Library in 1891 and was salvaged for publication as a hardcover book in 2000, nearly 170 years after its completion. Now available in paperback, this book takes the form of a journey through Egypt from north to south, with descriptions of all the ancient monuments and contemporary life that Lane explored along the way.

Contesting Antiquity in Egypt
Archaeologies, Museums, and the Struggle for Identities from World War I to Nasser Donald Malcolm Reid Emphasizing the three decades from 1922 until Nasser’s revolution in 1952, this compelling followup to Whose Pharaohs? looks at the ways in which Egypt developed its own archaeologies—Islamic, Coptic, and GrecoRoman, as well as the more dominant ancient Egyptian. Drawing on rich archival and published sources, extensive interviews, and material objects ranging from statues and murals to photographs and postage stamps, this comprehensive study by one of the leading scholars in the field will make fascinating reading for scholars and students of Middle East history, archaeology, politics, and heritage studies, as well as for the interested lay reader.

Rameses III, King of Egypt
Aidan Dodson
Aidan Dodson
His Life and Afterlife
King Sethy I (also transcribed as Seti, Sethi, and Sethos) ruled for around a decade in the early thirteenth century BC. His lifetime coincided with a critical point in Egyptian history, following the ill-starred religious revolution of Akhenaten, and heralding the last phase of Egypt’s imperial splendor. Sethy was also a great builder, apparently with exquisite artistic taste, to judge from the unique quality of the decoration of his celebrated monuments at Abydos and Thebes. This richly illustrated book tells the story of Sethy's career and monuments, not only in his own era, but also in more recent times, and the impact of his legacy on today’s understanding and appreciation of ancient Egypt.

Nubian Gold
Ancient Jewelry from Sudan and Egypt Peter Lacovara & Yvonne J. Markowitz The fabled land of Nubia, whose very name means ‘gold,’ was famous in ancient times for its supplies of precious metal, exotic material, and intricate craftsmanship. Richly illustrated with beautiful photographs of these exquisite items, many of them never before published, Nubian Gold places the jewelry within the cultural contexts in which it was manufactured and employed. It not only tells the story of the treasures themselves but of the exciting tales of their discovery and the rich background of the exotic and remote civilizations that produced them.

His Life and Afterlife
Rameses III—often dubbed the “last great pharaoh”—lived and ruled during the first half of the 12th-century bc, a tumultuous time that saw the almost complete overthrow of established order in the eastern Mediterranean, and among Rameses’s achievements was the preservation of Egypt as a nation-state in the face of external assault. This richly illustrated book follows the king from his birth to his resurrection through modern research, describing the key events of the reign, his major monuments, and the people and events that led to these becoming once again known to the world.

The Fayum Landscape
Ten Thousand Years of Archaeology, Texts, and Traditions in Egypt Claire J. Malleson Located some one hundred kilometers southwest of Cairo, the Fayum region has long been regarded as unique, often described in terms that conjure up images of an idealized Garden of Eden. In The Fayum Landscape Claire J. Malleson takes a novel approach to the study of the region by exploring the ways in which people have, through millennia, perceived and engaged with the Fayum landscape. Distinguishing between the experienced landscape of state and bureaucratic record and the imagined landscape of myth, meaning, and observers’ personal influences and expectations, Malleson questions in detail where those perceptions come from. She traces religious practices, follows the tracks of myths and traditions, and investigates the roots of stories found in texts from the pharaonic, classical, and Medieval Islamic periods.

Living Forever
Self-presentation in Ancient Egypt Edited by Hussein Bassir Living Forever: Self-presentation in Ancient Egypt looks at how and why non-royal elites in ancient Egypt represented themselves, through language and art, on monuments, tombs, stelae, and statues, and in literary texts, from the Early Dynastic Period to the Thirtieth Dynasty. Bringing together essays by international Egyptologists and archaeologists from a range of backgrounds, the chapters in this volume offer fresh insight into the form, content, and purpose of ancient Egyptian presentations of the self.

Securing Eternity
Ancient Egyptian Tomb Protection from Prehistory to the Pyramids Reg Clark In Securing Eternity, Reg Clark traces in detail the development of the Egyptian royal and private tombs from the Predynastic Period to the early Fourth Dynasty. In doing so, he demonstrates that many of the familiar architectural elements of the Egyptian tomb that we take for granted today in fact originated from security features to protect the tomb, rather than from monumental or religious considerations. Richly illustrated with more than 150 photographs and tomb plans, this unique study will be of interest to students, specialists, and general readers alike.

Five Egyptian Goddesses
Their Possible Beginnings, Actions, and Relationships in the Third Millennium BCE Susan Tower Hollis, State University of New York, USA This volume explores the earliest appearances and functions of the five major Egyptian goddesses Neith, Hathor, Nut, Isis and Nephthys. Their importance endured throughout the three millennia of Egyptian history but their origins and earliest roles in religion and myth have never before been studied together in detail. Showcasing the latest research and a full bibliography on the five goddesses, this is vital reading for all scholars of Egyptian religion, mythology and early dynastic history. Hollis is particularly interested in the evidence that these goddesses had very close ties with royalty and, at least in the case of Neith and Hathor, special connections to early queens.

Euripides: Iphigenia among the Taurians Isabelle Torrance, Aarhus University, Denmark
In this new student introduction, Isabelle Torrance looks at what makes Iphigenia among the Taurians a successful tragedy in ancient Greek terms, and how dramatic excitement is achieved through the exotic setting, the cast of characters, and the Chorus. Assuming no knowledge of Greek, and with students in mind, the central themes of ethnicity and gender relations are examined to show how Euripides manipulates established stereotypes. The play’s significant concerns with ritual and the gods are also addressed to highlight how the drama asks probing theological questions, and the vast reception history of the play is sketched out.

Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception Faulkner’s Reception of Apuleius’ The Golden Ass in The Reivers Vernon L. Provencal, Acadia University, Canada
Vernon L. Provencal studies the presence of The Golden Ass in Faulkner’s posthumous novel The Reivers by examining key intertextual parallels in genre, narrative, characters, plot, events, motifs and themes. Chief among these are parallels between the semiautobiographical protagonists Lucius Priest and the priest Lucius Apuleius, their picaresque adventures enabled by the metamorphic magic of the automobile and the magical metamorphosis into an ass, and climatic scenes of restoration to which roses supply the salvific motif to these serio-comic morality tales.

The Thucydidean Turn
(Re)Interpreting Thucydides’ Political Thought Before, During and After the Great War Benjamin Earley, Friedrich Meinecke Institute, Freie Unversitat, Germany This volume rectifies the neglect by scholars of the emergence of Thucydides as an influential political thinker in the first half of the 20th century by examining his prominent position in political discourse in the US and Europe today. In the years before, during and after the Great War, Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War was mined for the insights it offered into contemporary politics. Classicists such as Francis Cornford, Gilbert Murray and Enoch Powell, as well as international-relations scholars such as Alfred Zimmern, Albert Toynbee and George Abbott ‘turned’ to Thucydides in order to better understand contemporary global and European politics.

Sex, Symbolists and the Greek Body Richard Warren, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
This book explores Symbolist artists’ fascination with ancient Greek art and myth, and how the erotic played a major role in this. Building upon the traditions of Academic neoclassicism, but fired with a new zeal, they turned back to Greek art and myth for inspiration. Warren shows how in their painting, drawing and sculpture the Symbolists re-invented Greek statuary and transposed it to new and unwonted contexts, as the imaginary inner worlds of artists were mapped onto the landscapes of Greek myth. It shows how they made of the Greek body, whether female, male, androgyne or sexual other, at once an object of beauty, desire, fear, and - at times - of horror.

Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage
Edited by Rosa Andújar, King's College London, UK & Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos, Saint Joseph’s University, USA The first comprehensive treatment in English of the rich and varied afterlife of classical drama across Latin America, this volume explores the myriad ways in which ancient Greek and Roman texts have been adapted, invoked, and re-worked in notable modern theatrical works across North and South America and the Caribbean, while also paying particular attention to the national and local context of each play. Fourteen case studies demonstrate a strong connection to the ancient text and comment upon the important socio-political crises in the modern history of Latin America.

Kinaesthesia and Classical Antiquity 1750–1820 Moved by Stone
Helen Slaney, Roehampton University, UK This books argues that touch and movement played a significant role, long overlooked, in generating perceptions of ancient material culture in the late 18th century. At this time the reception of classical antiquity had been transformed. Interactions with material culture – ruins, sculpture, and artefacts – formed the core of this transformation. The sense typically associated with the Enlightenment is vision, but this has obscured the equally important contribution made by touch and movement to the way in which a newly materialised Graeco-Roman world was perceived. This book shows how ideas about classical antiquity in the volatile milieu of the late 18th century developed as a result of diverse kinaesthetic relationships.

Epic, Novel and the Progress of Antiquity Ahuvia Kahane, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
James Joyce’s well-known engagement with classical literature is usually understood as distinct from or even in opposition to the most experimental qualities of his modernist aesthetic. From the time of the first publication of Ulysses, readers have tended to view classical literature as an interpretive key by which to decode and manage the allusive and stylistic complexity of Joyce’s writing. This study tracks Joyce’s sensitive, on-going readings of classical literature from his earliest work at the turn of the twentieth century through the appearance of Ulysses in 1922, the watershed year of high modernist writing.
This book rethinks the characterization of two highly contrastive forms of ancient literary tradition - epic and novel - and re-frames their function as dynamic points of reference in the history of ideas and in our understanding of the interface between antiquity and the modern. Ahuvia Kahane argues for the fallibility of each of several major differential attributes, to the point of generic disintegration. He then sets out to construct a new understanding of epic and novel in antiquity as part of a more fragile, dynamic framework, governed by intertextuality and openness on the one hand, and by fragmented interpretive traditions on the other.

Classical Influence on the Modern Right John Bloxham, Open University, UK "An admirable example of scholarly detachment and penetrating analysis." The Classical Journal This innovative work of reception studies offers a rich understanding of the American Right, and provides important reading for classicists, modern US historians and political scientists alike. By tracing the phenomenon of how US conservatives have repeatedly turned to classical Greece for inspiration and rhetorical power, John Bloxham employs classical thought to explore competing strands in American conservatism.

Classical Antiquity in Video Games Playing with the Ancient World
Edited by Christian Rollinger, University of Trier, Germany This volume explores the varied influences of the ancient world on video games and demonstrates the potential applications of video games and game engines for educational and scholarly purposes. Yet classical scholarship, though embracing other popular media as areas of research, has so far largely ignored video games as a vehicle of classical reception. This collection of essays fills this gap with a dedicated study of receptions, remediations and representations of Classical Antiquity across all electronic gaming platforms and genres. It presents both classicists and a general audience with cutting-edge research in classics and classical receptions, game studies and archaeogaming.

James Joyce and Classical Modernism
This volume investigates how ancient women, and particular powerful women have been re-imagined in Western art, and highlights how this re-imagination and re-visualization is, more often than not, the product of Orientalist stereotypes – even when dealing with women who had nothing to do with Eastern regions. Through the chapters in this volume, readers will discover how little has changed in the ways in which women in power are described and decried by their opponents, even today.

Representations of Classical Greece in Theme Parks Filippo Carlà-Uhink, Potsdam University, Germany
Which elements of classical Greece find their way into a theme park and how are they chosen and represented? What is the “entertainment” element in ancient Greek history, culture and myth, which allows its presence in commercial structures aiming towards people's entertainment? How does the representation of Greece change against different cultural backgrounds, e.g. across Europe, the USA and China? This book frames a discussion of these representations within the current debates about immersive spaces, uses of history and postmodern aesthetics, and analyses how ancient Greece has been represented and made “enjoyable” in seven different theme parks across the world, providing an original and ground-breaking contribution to theme park studies and classical reception.

Lucan's Imperial World
The Bellum Civile in its Contemporary Contexts Edited by Laura Zientek, Brigham Young University, USA & Mark Thorne, Brigham Young University, USA These new essays comprise the first collective study of Lucan and his epic poem, The Bellum Civile, that focuses specifically on points of contact between his text and the later environment in which he lived and wrote. The contributors offer innovative readings that seek to interpret Lucan’s epic in terms of the contemporary politics, philosophy, literature, rhetoric, geography, and cultural memory of the author’s lifetime. In doing so, these studies illuminate how approaching Lucan and his text in light of their contemporary environments enriches our understanding of author, text, and context individually and in conversation with each other.

Visualising Harbours in the Classical World
Iconography and Representation around the Mediterranean Federico Ugolini, Professional Archaeologist, UK In recent years, there has been intense debate about the reality behind the depiction of maritime cityscapes, especially harbours. This book argues that the available textual and iconographic evidence supports the argument that these representations have a symbolic, rather than literal, meaning and message. Ugolini focuses in particular on the triumphal imagery and identity of the harbour iconography in three main ancient ports: Alexandria, Rome and Leptis Magna. Bridging the gap between archaeological sciences and the humanities, this volume integrates iconographic materials, epigraphic sources, history and archaeology, along with visual culture.
Mirrors and Mirroring from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period Edited by Maria Gerolemou, University of Cyprus, Cyprus & Lilia Diamantopoulou, University of Vienna, Austria
The volume examines mirrors and mirroring through a series of multidisciplinary essays, especially focusing on the intersection between technological and cultural dynamics of mirrors. The international scholars brought together here explore critical questions around the mirror as artefact and the phenomenon of mirroring. Part I looks at a selection of theory from ancient writers. Part II considers the role reflections can play in forming ideas of gender and identity. Beyond the everyday, we see in Part III how oracular mirrors and magical mirrors reveal the invisible divine. Finally, Part IV considers mirrors' roles in displaying the visible and invisible in antiquity and since.

Xenophon and Sparta
Edited by Anton Powell & Nicolas Richer Xenophon has long been identified as a chief contemporary source, if not the chief source, for the history of classical Sparta. But his information has commonly been treated in restricted ways. In this volume, 12 internationally-recognised experts on Sparta examine the quality of Xenophon's information on central topics of Laconian history, in the light of the author's political, literary and intellectual characteristics. This book is the first of a series in which the Classical Press of Wales will focus on each of the main sources on which historians depend.

Hegemonic Finances
Funding Athenian Domination in the 5th Centuries BC Edited by T.J. Figueira & Sean R. Jensen Research into the mechanisms and the morality of Athenian hegemony is now perhaps livelier than ever, specifically on methods by which Athens drew money from the Aegean world with which to fund a vast fleet, to facilitate her own demokratia and to create ambitious public buildings still visible today. This collection of new studies sheds light on more familiar questions: How oppressive, or otherwise, was Athens to fellow-Greeks and how did her demands vary over time? Contributors here suggest that Athens may have exercised hegemonic ambitions for longer than usually thought, applying greater experience, and more sensitivity to individual communities.

Didactic Poetry of Greece, Rome and Beyond Knowledge, Power, Tradition
Edited by Lilah Grace Canevaro & Donncha O'Rourke This volume examines poetic texts of wisdom and teaching related to the great line of Greek and Latin poems descended from Hesiod. Previous scholarship has engaged with the near-total absence in ancient literary criticism of explicit discussion of didactic as a discrete genre. The present volume approaches didactic poetry from different perspectives: the diachronic, mapping the development of didactic through changing social and political landscapes (from Homer and Hesiod to Neo-Latin didactic); and the comparative, setting the Graeco-Roman tradition against a wider backdrop (including ancient near-eastern and contemporary African traditions).

Tim Rood, University of Oxford, UK, Carol Atack, University of Oxford, UK & Tom Phillips, University of Manchester, UK This book explores both the post-classical origins of the term ‘anachronism’ and the theoretical presence of anachronism in a variety of classical texts, including drama, historiography and philosophy, in ancient criticism and scholarship, and in material objects. It also argues that there are many indications that the ancients did have a sense of anachronism that is not wholly different from modern notions. Anachronism and Antiquity offers a new conceptual map of antiquity through the notion of anachronism, offering a synthetic treatment of the topic which is suitable for scholars and students both of classical antiquity and of modern history, anthropology and visual culture.

After the Crisis: Remembrance, Re-anchoring and Recovery in Ancient Greece and Rome Jacqueline Klooster, University of Groningen, Netherlands & Inger N.I. Kuin, Dartmouth College, USA
Crises resulting from war or other upheavals turn the lives of individuals upside down, and they can leave marks on a community for many years after the event. This volume aims to explore how such crises were remembered in the ancient world, and how communities reconstituted themselves after a crisis. This volume finds traces of recovery strategies in texts as well as visual representations; in literary as well as in documentary texts; in official ideology as much as in subaltern responses. The contributors bring together the diverse testimonies for such ways of coping that have survived from antiquity.

Coffee

Compact Disc
Robert Barry, Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, London, UK
Coffee—it’s the thing that gets us through, and over, and around. The thing—the beverage, the break, the ritual we choose to slow ourselves down or speed ourselves up. Coffee goes to lifestyle, and character, and sensibility: where do we buy it, how do we brew it, how strong can we take it? How often, how hot, how cold? How does coffee remind us, stir us, comfort us? But Coffee is about more than coffee: it’s a personal history and a promise to self; in her confrontation with the hours (with time—big picture, little picture), Dinah Lenney faces head on the challenges of growing older and carrying on.
The story of the compact disc is also the story of the end of physical media. For in the passage from analogue media, like records and tapes, to digital media, like CDs, something changed in the nature of media and in the relationship we have with music. Music became code, a sequence of 1s and 0s. A flow of pure information. The material structure of the medium itself was always supposed to disappear. But the physical has proved to possess an uncanny knack for returning. Today the CD persists – a zombie medium, still popular amongst certain avantgarde record labels and Japanese consumers. Against all the odds, the spectre endures.

Ocean
Steve Mentz, St John’s University, USA The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet. Steve Mentz's Ocean shows us that retelling human history from an oceanic rather than terrestrial point of view disorients familiar stories and creates a new sense of our relationship with nature. Unlike conventional stories that describe civilizations made through agricultural settlement or violent conquest, in the ocean humans labor more vulnerably as either sailors or swimmers. Our engagement with the planet’s waters can be destructive, as with today’s deluge of plastic trash and acidification, but the discrepancy between small bodies and vast seas also emphasizes the frailty of human experience. Embracing the omnipresence of salt water in human history, Ocean combines history, myth, poetry, and narrative in order to revise the human story on a nonhuman scale.

The cell tower is a gigantic object we rarely see, effectively invisible, at the periphery of our vision but at the center of everyday experience. Cropping up everywhere, whether steel latticework or tapered monopoles, encrusted with fiberglass antennas, cell towers raise up high into the air the communications equipment that channels our calls, texts, and downloads. For security reasons, their locations are never advertised. But it’s our romantic notions of connectivity that hide them in plain sight. We want the network to be invisible, ethereal, and ubiquitous: the cell tower stands as a challenge to these desires.

Erik Anderson, Franklin & Marshall College, USA
"Nothing's bulletproof," the salesman said. "The thing's only bullet resistant." The New York Times reporter Kenneth R. Rosen had just purchased his first Kevlar vest and was headed off on assignment in Iraq. He was travelling into Mosul when he came to realize that the idea of a bulletproof vest is more effective than the vest itself. What Rosen learned through an intimate use of his bulletproof vest was that it acts as a metaphor for all the precautions we take toward digital, physical, and social security: at its most extreme, bulletproof vests represent a human desire to forge ahead, never yielding to uncertainty or worry.

"Hope," as Emily Dickinson famously wrote, "is the thing with feathers." But Erik Anderson regards our obsession with birds as too sentimental, too precious or romantic. Birds don’t express hope. They express themselves. But this tension between the various versions of nature that lodge in our minds and the realities that surround us is the central concern of Bird. Anderson investigates our natural and metaphorical affinity for avifauna--our desire to confer on birds, as objects, human qualities like hope.

Set in the early Thatcher years, Top Girls is a seminal play of the modern theatre, revealing a world of women's experience at a pivotal moment in British history. Told by an eclectic group of historical and modern characters in a continuous conversation across ages and generations it was described by The Guardian as ‘the best British play ever from a woman dramatist’.
In 1995 Sarah Kane's first full-length play Blasted sent shockwaves throughout the theatrical world. Making front-page headlines, the play outraged critics with its depiction of rape, torture and violence in civil war. However, from being roundly condemned by the critics the play is now considered a seminal work of European theatre and has defined an entire era of stage writing.

Sydney & the Old Girl
Claire and her wife Kit have moved from the confines of London to the wide open coasts of South Shields.
Nell and Sydney Stock are at war - and it's mutually assured destruction. After 50 years cooped up in the same shabby East London house where ghosts of a hard life still linger, the points scored in never ending arguments continue to bind the pair together. And then, there is the not so simple matter of the inheritance…As the twisted game between mother and son reaches breaking point, Irish care worker Marion Fee finds herself an unwitting pawn, played from both sides. Nell will stop at nothing for her bitter triumph over Sydney - but he has his own plans.
Zoe Cooper

Rutherford and Son Githa Sowerby
In a northern industrial town, John Rutherford rules both factory and family with an iron will.

D R A M A – Methuen Drama: Acting and Performance
Performer Training Reconfigured Post-Psychophysical Perspectives for the Twenty-First Century Frank Camilleri, University of Malta, Malta Performer Training Reconfigured rethinks the phenomenon of training for theatre and performance in the light of 21st-century developments, technologies and conditions. Stemming from the author's extensive practice and incorporating a review of current practices and theories, it advances different perspectives on how material circumstances shape and affect processes of training, devising, rehearsing and performing. Frank Camilleri puts forward the 'post-psychophysical' as a more extended form of psychophysical discursivity and practices that emerged and dominated in the 20th century. It offers invaluable introductions to a wide range of theories that can be applied to other areas of theatre, dance and performance.
Edited by Tom Cantrell, University of Westminster, UK & Christopher Hogg, Sheffield Hallam University, UK This is the first book to bring together scholarly and practitioner perspectives on acting for television. In 15 new essays by internationally distinguished researchers and actor-trainers, and the most exciting early-career scholars, this collection analyses the acting processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed television actors such as Hugh Bonneville, Viola Davis, Philip Glenister, Hugh Laurie, Maxine Peake and Jason Watkin.

Applied Theatre: Women and the Criminal Justice System
Caoimhe McAvinchey, Queen Mary University London, UK
Alternative Comedy
1979 and the Reinvention of British Stand-Up Oliver Double, University of Kent, UK
This book provides the first sustained critical enquiry into applied theatre practice with women affected by the criminal justice system. Drawing on a range of international case studies, interviews with practitioners and participants and original documentation from applied theatre projects, the book articulates new understanding about the cultural representations of women who offend, how government policy inscribes social, economic and political values upon these bodies and how applied theatre practice negotiates ideas of identity, agency, authority and representation.
This book draws on a wealth of archive material – including unpublished recordings of early performances – and new interviews with key figures such as Alexei Sayle, Andy de la Tour and Jim Barclay, to provide a detailed history of the alternative comedy scene in Britain since the late 1970s, and an examination of the distinctive modes of performance style which developed. It traces the influence of American stand-ups and the significance of the opening of the Comedy Store in 1979, but it also looks at smaller venues and less celebrated acts before assessing alternative comedy’s legacy today.

Exploring Television Acting
Performance, Medicine and the Human Alex Mermikides, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London, UK
This book explores parallels between two ancient human practices: performance on the one hand, and medicine on the other. Its rationale is that performance and medicine share a number of concerns including questions of corporeality, subjectivity, identity and embodiment; and both individual and social responses to health, illness and the advances of biomedical knowledge and technologies. Above all, though, performance and medicine share an engagement with the human, at a time when the ‘concept of the human’ is ‘exploded’ (Braidotti, 2013).The study is illustrated with first-hand accounts of hospital wards, operating theatre, laboratories, rehearsal rooms, theatre auditoria and stages.

George Farquhar
A Migrant Life Reversed
D R A M A – Methuen Drama: Theatre Studies
Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance
David Roberts, Birmingham City University, UK "This captivating biography, full of previously undiscovered material, tells the story of Restoration playwright George Farquhar (1677–1707) in reverse: from his death in poverty, through the success of The Beaux Stratagem and A Recruiting Officer, and ending with his birth in Londonderry. Essential reading not only for those interested in Farquhar or 18th-century theatre, but also in the literature of the dispossessed, it is the first study to combine elegant readings of Farquhar’s plays with migrancy criticism. Farquhar, it shows, was more modern than any other writer of the period."

Performing the Unstageable Success, Imagination, Failure

Fiery Temporalities in Theatre and Performance The Initiation of History
Maurya Wickstrom, City University of New York, USA "In a wonderful book that sets itself compellingly against death, against tragedy, against the closures and comforts of (theatrical) repetition, Maurya Wickstrom designates the theatre she loves as the source of an irruptive force of initiation. An initiation that is not against anything, that is not mere resistance, but insists instead upon being for something, for something before the end, for revolution, perhaps. Its bold claims are sustained through illuminating attention to the experience of a contemporary theatre that wrestles with its own contemporaneity."

Shakespeare and Posthumanist Theory Karen Raber, University of Mississippi, USA
This book charts challenges in the field of Shakespeare studies to the assumption that the category 'human' is real, stable, or worthy of privileging in discussions of the playwright’s work. Drawing on a variety of methodologies – cognitive theory, systems theory, animal studies, ecostudies, the new materialisms – the volume investigates the world of Shakespeare’s plays and poems in order to represent more thoroughly its variety, its ethics of inclusion, and its resistance to human triumphalism and exceptionalism.

Childhood in Contemporary Performance of Shakespeare Gemma Miller, King’s College London, UK
Child characters feature more numerously and prominently in the Shakespearean canon than in that of any other early modern playwright. Focusing on stage and film productions from the past four decades, this study addresses how Shakespeare's child characters are reflected, refracted and reinterpreted in performance. By adopting an inter-disciplinary approach that incorporates close reading, historicist literary criticism, semiotics, childhood studies, queer theory and performance studies, Gemma Miller explores the ways in which performing childhood in Shakespeare’s plays can reveal often uncomfortable truths about ideas of childhood, both in the early modern period and today.

Picture Pedagogy
Visual Culture Concepts to Enhance the Curriculum Paul Duncum, University of Illinois, USA, and University of Tasmania, Australia. Duncum explores key concepts and curriculum examples from across a wide range of subjects to empower readers to support students to develop a critical consciousness about images, whether teaching art, media, language or social studies. Drawing on the interpretive concepts of representation, rhetoric, ideology, aesthetic pleasure, intertextuality and the gaze, he shows how to develop students’ skills so that their power as viewers can match the seductive power of images. Examples from the history of fine art and contemporary popular mass media, including Big Data and fake news, are drawn on. Often these pleasures are benign, but also often problematic, helping to promote morally questionable ideas about a range of topics including gender, race and sexual orientation, and this is explored fully.

Concepts of the Public in Market-Driven Education
Ruth Boyask, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand This book opens a conversation on the nature of the public in education systems weary from market driven educational reform. Within contemporary education settings Ruth Boyask observes publicness, defined by public sphere and democratic education theory. Boyask’s investigations of publicness are founded in conceptualising public education as pluralist, unbounded and conditional. These concepts are important for ongoing and future debate on public education. Boyask argues that by opening a conversation about the nature of the public within these sites they become open to public scrutiny and through debate arise new ideas for challenging market-driven restrictions to contemporary public education.

Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy Education Without Learning
René V. Arcilla, New York University, USA This study focuses on the education that shapes us outside schools and derives from it a basis for criticizing and improving the learning that takes place inside them, particularly liberal learning in colleges and universities. Akin to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Dewey, Arcilla seeks to attune schooling to a more primal education we are all naturally undergoing. He develops a philosophical theory of the experience of being led out—a theory latent in the Latin term, educere—by examining the road movies of Wim Wenders. These films show how their protagonists realize their life paths.

Rethinking Youth Citizenship After the Age of Entitlement
Lucas Walsh, Monash University, Australia & Rosalyn Black, Deakin University, Australia Rethinking Youth Citizenship After the Age of Entitlement asks hard questions about how young people understand, experience and enact their citizenship in uncertain times and under the new social contract which those times promote, with a particular focus on the Australian context. It considers the role of key institutions such as schools in constructing young people’s citizenship and looks at how some young people are opting out of established expressions and enactments of citizenship while creating new ones. It also reinvigorates the discussion about citizenship rights, and what these might mean for young people in the neoliberalist era.

A History of Education for the Many From Colonization and Slavery to the Decline of US Imperialism Curry Malott, West Chester University, USA A History of Education for the Many offers a window into the history of US education that challenges long held beliefs that the historical development of education reflects either the flourishing of democracy, or a ruling class project designed to reproduce structural inequalities.

Education, Individualization and Neoliberalism Youth in Southern Europe
Valerie Visanich, University of Malta, Malta Using Beck & Beck-Gernsheim's concept of individualization to refer to increased freedom in one’s life choices yet at the same time increased risks, Visanich unpacks the trajectories of life experiences of tertiary educated millennials in the contemporary neoliberal Anglo-American setting in relation to recent cultural and socio-economic changes. She examines how this individualized mode is adopted and adapted in countries across Southern Europe including Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta and Greece – in locations where cultural conditions habitually cushion-out, often by family networks and patronage, some of the burdens of being young today.

Identity, Culture and Belonging
Educating Young Children for a Changing World Tony Eaude, independent scholar, UK Eaude argues that the foundations of a robust but flexible identity are formed in early childhood and that children live within many intersecting, fragmented and sometimes conflicting cultures. Three meanings of culture are considered, associated with (often implicit) values and beliefs; the arts; and spaces for growth. In exploring how young children’s identities, as constructed and constantly changing narratives, are shaped, controversial issues related to power in terms of ethnicity, gender, religion, class, physical ability and age are discussed. This radical, inclusive, culturally sensitive vision, for an international audience, challenges many current assumptions about identity, culture, childhood and education.

Accent and Teacher Identity in Britain Linguistic Favouritism and Imposed Identities
Alex Baratta, University of Manchester, UK "This refreshing book raises some fundamental issues: the crucial importance of sociolinguistic reflexivity in teacher training, and the delicate play of accent inequalities affecting not just learners but teachers as well. Baratta breaks ground by bringing them up as relevant topics for debate." Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, The Netherlands Baratta investigates the notion of linguistic power and the intersection between the personal and professional linguistic identities, notably for those who are made to feel that their accent is not 'appropriate' for the teaching profession, and the impact of being forced to take on a different identity.

The Governance of British Higher Education
The Impact of Governmental, Financial and Market Pressures Michael Shattock & Aniko Horvath, both UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK Drawing on the authors' investigation of the governance of higher education in the four UK nations, including extensive on-site interviews, and discussions with government, the book shows how global, national and system level pressures have changed the face both of the external governance of higher education institutions and of how universities govern themselves. New forms of institutional governance are emerging to match the increasing diversity between institutions, which promises to have profound effects on research and the provision of teaching. The study discusses the effects of a state regulated system compared with the more heterarchical system which preceded it.

Scholarly Leadership in Higher Education An Intellectual History of James Bryan Conant
Wayne J. Urban, University of Alabama, USA Urban explores the ways in which Conant achieved largely successful attempts to modernize Harvard by upgrading both its student body and its faculty. He explores the intellectual excellence agenda that Conant pursued both with students and academics, and the ramifications of this, as well as the nature of Conant’s part-time handling of the role of president. Urban also looks at Conant’s intellectual breadth, as scientist and humanist, which showed itself prominently in his activities in pursuit of general education reform. Conant’s combination of intellect and agenda was unusual for a president in his own time, and is exceedingly rare in contemporary university presidencies.

Exploring Consensual Leadership in Higher Education Co-operation, Collaboration and Partnership
Edited by Lynne Gornall, University of South Wales, UK, Brychan Thomas, University of South Wales, UK & Lucy Sweetman, Bath Spa University, UK The premise of Exploring Consensual Leadership in Higher Education is that the nature of academic work is both creative and consensual. Higher education relationships are at their most effective when rooted in partnership, teamwork, collaboration and collegiality. The term ‘consensual’ is used because it situates new leadership models as structures based on consent. The contributors offer a range of alternative perspectives on leadership, reflecting the diverse forms and ways of working practised in different national higher educational contexts and cultural settings.

Jan McArthur and Paul Ashwin bring together chapters from international researchers that explore these relations in a range of national contexts and consider their implications for policies, pedagogy and our understanding of the roles of graduates in societies. As a whole, the book argues that social justice needs to be more than a topic of higher education research and must also be part of the way that research is undertaken. Social justice must be located in research practices as well as in the issues that are researched.

Assessment for Social Justice
Perspectives and Practices within Higher Education Jan McArthur, Lancaster University, UK Assessment for Social Justice looks at assessment in higher education through the lens of critical pedagogy and social justice. The starting premise, adopted from Assessment for Learning (AfL), is that the way in which we form and practice assessment can and should influence the social justice outcomes of higher education. Looking at a number of different theories of social justice, McArthur explores how alternative theories provide the foundations for different types of assessment practice, drawing on the work of Rawls, Adorno, Sen, Nussbaum, Fraser and Honneth.

Peter Krämer's insightful study explores 2001's complex origins, the unique shape it took and the extraordinary impact it made on contemporary audiences, drawing on new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive to challenges many of the widely-held assumptions about the film. This edition includes a new afterword by the author.
Catherine Wheatley's study of Michael Haneke's enigmatic, multilayered mystery addresses the key themes at the heart of the 'meaning' of Caché: the film as thriller; post-colonial bourgeois guilt; political accountability and lastly, reality, the media and its audiences, tracing these strands through the film by means of close readings of individual scenes and moments.

Cléo de 5 a 7
Babette's Feast
Steven Ungar provides a close reading of Agnes Varda's classic 1962 work that depicts, in near real-time, ninety minutes in the life of Cléo, a young woman in Paris awaiting the results of medical tests that she fears will confirm a fatal condition. Ungar situates the film in its social, political and cinematic contexts, and, in his foreword to the new edition, considers Varda's film-making career and contribution to the French New Wave.
In his study of this cult classic, Julian Baggini, reknown philosopher, journalist and the author of over 20 books, argues that Babette's Feast is not about the battle between a life-denying religiosity and a life-affirming sensuality but a deep examination of how the two can come together. Baggini's analysis focuses on themes of love, pleasure, artistry and grace, to provide a rich philosophical reading of this most sensual of films.

Do the Right Thing
La dolce vita
Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989) is one of the most celebrated examples of the ‘new black film wave’. In its depiction of the simmering racial tension in a Brooklyn neighbourhood, the movie takes in hip-hop fashions, rap music, police brutality, gentrification, immigration, deindustrialisation and joblessness. In his foreword to this new edition, Ed Guerrero looks back on the movie in the context of Spike Lee's film-making career and contemporary tensions between the police and the African-American community.
Fellini's La dolce vita has been a phenomenon since before it was made, a scandal in the making and on its release in 1963, and a reference point ever since. Much of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time. Richard Dyer's study considers the film's key aspects – as phenomenon, document, and aesthetic – and argues that they are connected.

BFI Film Classics Meshes of the Afternoon
John David Rhodes, University of Cambridge, UK Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), by Maya Deren and her then husband Alexader Hammid, is the most important film in the history of American avant-garde cinema. John David Rhodes traces the film's history back into the lives of Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid, but in particular that of Deren. He reads the film as a culmination of Deren's abiding interest in modernism and her intense engagement in socialist politics. Rhodes argues that while the film remains a powerful point of reference for feminist film-makers and experimentalists, it is also an example of political art in the broadest terms. This edition includes a new foreword by the author.

Pandora's Box
Performance
G.W. Pabst's silent era classic Pandora's Box (Die Büchse der Pandora, 1929) stars Louise Brooks as the mysterious heroine whose libidinous charms lead to disaster for the men drawn into her web. Pamela Hutchinson's study analyses the conflicted relationship between star and director, the film's contexts in Weimar Berlin, and its changing fortunes since its release.
Co-directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, and starring James Fox, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg, Performance's extraordinary combination of the worlds of rock music and street violence, reality and fantasy, politics and art so shocked its studio backers that it was almost never released. Colin MacCabe provides a definitive history of the film's making and a compelling interpretation of its consummate artistry, and a new afterword for this edition reflecting on Performance at 50.

Ratcatcher
Rosemary's Baby
Annette Kuhn's study of Ratcatcher, director Lynne Ramsay's bleak yet beautifully-photographed debut, traces the film's production history in the context of Scottish media and literary cultures, and its cinematic influences, while acknowledging the distinctiveness of Ramsay's poetic, visionary style.
Michael Newton's study of Roman Polanski's art-house horror classic traces its development and production history and provides a close textual analysis of the film's meanings and resonances. Looking beyond the film itself, he examines its reception and cultural impact, and its afterlife, in which it has become linked with the murder of Polanski's wife and unborn child by members of the Manson cult, and with controversies surrounding the director.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
The Manchurian Candidate
Powell and Pressburger's 1943 classic The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is a film about how England dreams of itself as a nation and how this dream disguised inadequacy and brutality in the clothes of honour. A.L. Kennedy writes as a Scot about this exploration of English nationalism and finds deep pathos in its depiction of stifled emotions and unfulfilled lives. This new edition includes a foreword by the author reflecting on the film's contemporary relevance in relation to Brexit and conflicting ideas about British and English national identity.
Pauline Kael called John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate, the story of an American serviceman brainwashed in Korea and turned into an assassin "the most sophisticated political thriller ever made in Hollywood". Greil Marcus explores how the film has burrowed deep into American culture, its themes of political conspiracy and manipulation freshly and disturbingly prophetic.

The Japanese Cinema Book
Edited by Hideaki Fujiki, Nagoya University, Japan & Alastair Phillips, University of Warwick, UK The Japanese Cinema Book provides a new and comprehensive survey of one of the world’s most fascinating and widely admired film-making regions, exploring the different ways in which Japanese cinema may be understood as a local, regional, national, transnational and global phenomenon. The book is structured around seven interrelated sections, addressing theories and approaches; institutions and industry; film style; genre; times and spaces of representation; social contexts, and flows and interactions. Ranging from internationally renowned directors such as Akira Kurosawa to neglected popular genres such as the film musical and encompassing topics such as ecology, spectatorship, home-movies, colonial history and relations with Hollywood and Europe, The Japanese Cinema Book presents a set of new, and often surprising, perspectives on Japanese film. The book’s innovative multi-focal approach combines general surveys of a particular historical topic or critical approach with various curated themes at a more micro level. It argues there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but instead a fluid and varied field of Japanese film-making cultures that continue to exist in a dynamic relationship with other cinemas and regions. To underline its historical and geographical diversity, The Japanese Cinema Book also offers a genuinely inter-disciplinary dialogue with related fields of study. It explores the multi-faceted wealth of Japanese cinema through the eyes not only of renowned film scholars, but also writers with backgrounds in Asian Studies, Comparative Literature, the Performing Arts, History, and Cultural Studies.

Reframing Cult Westerns
From The Magnificent Seven to The Hateful Eight Edited by Lee Broughton, University of Leeds, UK The Western played a significant role in the birth of early narrative cinema and it remained the most popular of film genres until the late 1950s. When the era of post-classical filmmaking began in 1960, the number of Westerns being produced went into an accelerated decline. However, key filmmakers remained reluctant to completely write-off this most durable of genres. Thanks to regular repertory cinema and television screenings, home video releases and critical reappraisals by cultural gatekeepers such as Quentin Tarantino, an ever-increasing number of these Westerns have become cult films. Be they star-laden, stylish, violent, bizarre or simply little heard-of obscurities, Reframing Cult Westerns offers a multitude of new critical insights into a truly eclectic selection of cult Westerns.

The Dialectic of Desire/Fantasy and the Ethics of Narrative Cinema
How Three Film Communities Revolutionized Digital Film Sound In the 1990s, the initial transition from analogue to digital postproduction sound practices began in motion pictures. The three major American film sound communities—Hollywood, the San Francisco Bay Area, and New York—had developed unique approaches to sound design largely due to cultural, labor, and economic differences between the three cities. Through examining case studies of award-winning soundtracks from each region, the author makes clear that these communities, when confronted with the initial technological changes of the 1990s, experienced similar challenges with the inelegant transition from analogue to digital.

Applying Design Principles to Filmmaking
With an abundance of information on how to create motion graphics already available, Design in Motion focuses on the why of moving image and less about the how. By unpacking the reasons behind screen designer’s production choices, each chapter deconstructs examples of motion graphics by drawing on case studies of both familiar examples from contemporary cinema and unseen work from postgraduate motion graphic designers. It examines the value of image, text, motion, camera and transitions, explaining in detail why some methods work, while others fail. This book is structured to follow the production process and will be a by-your-side companion to guide you through your next project.

In this ground-breaking new biography, Alan Strachan uses previously unseen sources from her archive, recently acquired by the V&A, shedding new light on her fractious relationship with Laurence Olivier, based on their letters and diaries, as well as on the bipolar disorder which so affected her later life and work.

Stardom, Comedy, and Legacy
A historical critique of the development and reception of Carole Lombard’s stardom from the classical Hollywood period to present day. Based on original archival research, Olympia Kiriakou combines theoretically informed textual analyses of Lombard’s performances and star image across different media with a critical engagement of the cultural, economic, social and industrial conditions that shaped her stardom. Sitting at the intersection of feminist film theory, star studies and comedy theory, this work presents Lombard as a case study to challenge the screwball canon and existent academic discourse about female physical comedy and the alleged “delicate” female body.

Deborah Jermyn, University of Roehampton, UK Nancy Meyers proposes that Meyers' box-office success, the consistency of style and theme across her films, and the breadth of her body of work as a writer/producer/director across more than three decades at the forefront of Hollywood (thus importantly bridging the second/third waves of feminism), make her a key contemporary US filmmaker. Structured to meet the needs of both the student and scholar, Jermyn's volume situates Deborah Meyers within this historical and critical context, exploring key collaborative relationships and new ways of watching her films.

After Kubrick
A Filmmaker’s Legacy Edited by Jeremi Szaniawski, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Taking at its starting point the idea that Kubrick’s cinema has constituted an intellectual, cerebral, and philosophical maze in which many filmmakers (as well as thinkers and a substantial fringe of the general public) have gotten lost at one point or another, this collection looks at the legacy of Kubrick’s films in the 21st century. The contributions coalesce around the concept of a Kubrickian substrate, rich and complex, which permeates our Western cultural landscape very much to this day, informing and sometimes announcing/reflecting it in twisted ways, 20 years after the director’s death.

The Lost Worlds of John Ford
Ida Lupino, Filmmaker
Jeffrey Richards, Lancaster University, UK
Ida Lupino, Filmmaker begins with an exploration of biographical studies and analytical treatments of her film and television work as director, moving forward to assess her career in film and television with particular attention given to Lupino’s singular, pioneering achievements and her role(s) within the cultural milieu(s) of her time, particularly the representation of women in cinema. Each chapter includes a close analysis of the film or television work with insights drawn from film history and cultural/gender studies to demonstrate that Lupino was a significant directorial figure in the development of film, especially in the late 1940s and early 1950s—and in television extending well into the 1960s.
Beyond the Western
Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of John Ford's film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford’s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford's other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards' revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideon’s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home (1940).

Wim Wenders
Making Films that Matter Edited by Olivier Delers, University of Richmond, USA & Martin Sulzer-Reichel, University of Richmond, USA Wim Wenders: Making Films That Matter is the first book in 15 years to take a comprehensive look at Wim Wenders’s extensive filmography. In addition to offering new insights into his cult masterpieces, the 10 essays in this volume highlight the thematic and aesthetic continuities between his early films and his latest productions. Wenders’s films have much to contribute to current conversations on intermediality, whether it be through his adaptations of important literary works or his filmic reinventions of famous paintings by Edward Hopper or Andrew Wyeth. Wenders has also positioned himself as a decidedly transnational and translingual filmmaker taking on the challenge of representing peripheral spaces without falling into the trap of a neocolonial gaze.

It charts the specific cinematic visions that these women have brought to the re-emergence of Portuguese national cinema in the wake of the 1974 Revolution and African decolonisation, and to the growing internationalisation of Portugal’s arguably ‘minor’ or ‘small nation’ cinema, with significant young women directors such as Leonor Teles achieving prominence abroad.

Representations in Society, Media and Popular Culture
The Reproduction of Gender in Contemporary Youth Cultures
What happens to gender at 120mph? Are HarleyDavidsons more masculine than Yamahas? The Gendered Motorcycle answers such questions through a critical examination of motorcycles in film, advertising and television, revealing how representations of motorcycles can produce different gendered bodies, identities, spaces and practices.
Combining unique empirical research with a strong theoretical framework, Cann widens the fields of gender and taste studies to show the everyday reality of 21st-century youth and their apprehensions - especially of young boys- about participating in activities, or embracing pop-cultural preferences that have traditionally only been associated with femininity.

Women, Emotions, and Contemporary Horror Rikke Schubart, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark Mastering Fear analyzes horror as play and examines what functions horror has and why it is adaptive and beneficial for audiences, including women. It takes a biocultural approach, focusing on emotions, gender, and play. It argues that the audience engages not only with the negative emotions of fear and disgust, but with a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative, and the aim is for the audience to master these emotions. The book lays out a new theory of horror and analyzes female protagonists in contemporary horror from child to teen, adult, middle age, and old age.

Making Media Theory
Thinking Critically with Technology Marcel O’Gorman, University of Waterloo, Canada Making Media Theory is about the study and practice of media theory. It looks at experimental research methods and engages in media analysis, inviting readers to engage directly with the materiality of media – looking at the media itself and considering the implications having to do with labor and technoculture. Within applied media theory, the author creates digital objects to think with, where digital art practices serve as problem-solving tools for social and philosophical issues. An example is the smartphone basket – where one of the workshop chapters asks the readers to weave a straw basket, equip it with a sensor and LCD screen, and then use the object to think about how other cultures and identities might theorize media.

Media Ownership, Journalism and Diversity
Fear and Loathing Worldwide
Steven Barnett, University of Westminster, UK
Edited by Robert Alexander, Brock University, Canada & Christine Isager, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
What's Wrong With Media Monopolies? Media companies are in the midst of fundamental transformation, resulting in consolidation into larger entities. Though industrially pragmatic, this practice collides with the need for diversity of voice in a healthy democracy. Media Ownership, Journalism and Diversity analyses this tension within the UK, using evidence gathered from personal interviews with senior policy makers and analysis of a 2008 House of Lords select inquiry committee on news and media ownership, for which the author was specialist advisor. The material is set within a broader international context and explores up through the period of the News Corp hacking crisis.

Gonzo Journalism Beyond Hunter S. Thompson
Scholars from 14 countries discuss writers, male and female, from Europe, the Americas, and Australia, whose work bears unmistakable traces of the mutant Gonzo gene. In each chapter, “Gonzo” emerges as a powerful but unstable signifier, read and practiced with different accents and emphases in the various national, cultural, political, and journalistic contexts in which it has erupted. Each, however, is driven by the same fearless disdain for convention and profound commitment to rattling received opinion with which the “outlaw journalist” Thompson scorched his way into the American consciousness in the 1960s, ’70s, and beyond.

John Hartley, Curtin University, Western Australia This book guides the reader through the tangled undergrowth of communication and cultural expression towards a new understanding of the role of group-mediating stories at global and digital scale.

Using striking examples and compelling analysis, the book tells us about how intimate human communication is organised and used to stage organised conflict, to test the ‘fighting fitness’ of contending groups, unwittingly creating new stories, identities and classes along the way.

Indie Games in the Digital Age
War Games
A host of digital affordances, including reduced cost production tools, open distribution platforms, and ubiquitous connectivity, have engendered the growth of indie games among makers and users, forcing critics to reconsider the question of who makes games and why. Taking seriously this new mode of cultural production compels analysts to reconsider the blurred boundaries and relations of makers, users and texts as well as their respective relationship to cultural power and hierarchy. The contributions to Indie Games in the Digital Age consider these questions and examine a series of firms, makers, games and scenes, to chart more precisely the productive and instructive disruption that this new site of cultural production offers.

Memory, Militarism, and the Subject of Play
While combat games like Call of Duty and Company of Heroes are marketed as authentic representations of war, they often provide a selective form of realism that eschews problematic, yet salient aspects of war. In addition, changes in the way Western states wage and frame actual wars seem to imply that contemporary conflicts increasingly resemble videogames when perceived from the vantage point of western audiences. This interdisciplinary volume examines the complex relationships between military-themed videogames and real-world conflict, and considers how videogames might deal with history, memory, and conflict in alternative ways.

Genndy Tartakovsky Sincerity in Animation
Kwasu David Tembo, Independent Scholar, Zimbabwe Genndy Tartakovsky is widely regarded as a pioneer in contemporary Western animation of the 20th and 21st centuries. His groundbreaking and prolific output, ranging from Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory to Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan has become a mainstay of contemporary animated programming, and collectively, the cornerstone of both titans of the industry such as Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. This work draws attention to the comparatively mysterious figure of the aforementioned shows' creator, while simultaneously celebrating his singular vision, mastery of formal technique, genre sensitivity, personal stylistic flair, and how these aesthetic and narrative elements combine to produce what the author calls an 'animation of sincerity' in all his works.

The Classical Animated Documentary and Its Contemporary Evolution Cristina Formenti, University of Milan, Italy
Drawing on archival research and textual analysis, Cristina Formenti shows how this form took shape in the 1940s. Formenti integrates a theoretical and a historical approach in order to shed new light on the animated documentary as a form as well as on the work of renowned studios such as The Walt Disney Studios, Halas & Batchelor, National Film Board of Canada, and Corona Cinematografica. She also highlights the differences and the similarities existing among the animated documentaries created from the 1940s through the present day, demonstrating how the latter do not represent a complete otherness in respect to the former, but rather an evolution.

An Introduction from 1830 to Present Nicola Humble, University of Roehampton, UK This fascinating exploration into the literature of food is aimed at students of food and literature across a range of disciplines. Considering the food of modernist, post-modernism, crime fiction, the realist novel and children's literature, this is the first systematic study of the literature of food from the 19th century to the present. Food is shown to be as prevalent and active in literary texts as it is in our own lives, from the lavish dinner parties of the Victorian novel to the scrumptious feasts of the childhood story.

Valeria Siniscalchi, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, France
What Ancient Greece Can Tell Us About Food and Wine Is sharing a good meal with friends and family an experience of life at its best? Or does food exemplify the worst of our world - a burdensome necessity which distracts us from the serious business of living? David Roochnik explores these questions by discussing classical works of Greek literature and philosophy in which food and drink play an important role. He shows how foregrounding food in philosophy can open up ways of understanding these different thinkers and their approaches to the purpose and meaning of life.

Thinking with Soils
Material Politics and Social Theory Edited by Juan Francisco Salazar, University of Western Sydney, Australia Without soil there can be no life. Two major societal concerns at present – food security and ecological threats brought about by global climate change – have soil at the centre of them. This book challenges us to attend more carefully to how we think about soil, both materially and theoretically. With contributions outlining the politics of caring for soils; the ecological and symbiotic relations between soils, minerals, and their animal and vegetable companions; the volume develops a novel and systematic social theory of soil.

Food, Faith and Gender in South Asia The Cultural Politics of Women's Food Practices Edited by Nita Kumar & Usha Sanyal How do women express individual agency when engaging in seemingly prescribed or approved practices such as religious fasting? How are sectarian identities played out in the performance of food piety? What do food practices tell us about how women negotiate changes in family relationships, and home and workplace balance?

Edited by Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford, UK & André Reyes Novaes, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Hugh Campbell reimagines the farm as a key player in the creation of political, economic and ecological power, particularly in colonised landscapes like New Zealand, America and Australia. Campbell shows how farm power was instrumental in creating a specific dynamic in colonised settings, while also serving to silence other voices and ways of using the land. He shows how this dynamic has been destabilised, with widereaching implications for the role farms play in our food systems and landscapes. This is an exciting addition to food theory.

Winfried Baumgart, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
Politics, Community and Culture in Transnational Context, 1775-1922 Revolutionary Europe is an original examination of radical political movements during Europe’s long 19th century. Rather than assessing revolution as a purely theoretical, socially-driven force or a structural phenomenon, the book presents revolution as a process of community building and cultural identification born from instances of acute social and political crisis. It employs both national and transnational contexts, incorporating new debates in Atlantic history, empire studies and cultural history to give a comprehensive narrative of the period from 1775 to 1922.

Religion and Society at the Dawn of Modern Europe
Christianity Transformed, 1750-1850 Rudolf Schlögl, University of Konstanz, Germany Translated by Helen Imhoff This book reveals how, in confrontation with secularity, various new forms of Christianity evolved during the time of Europe's crisis of modernisation.

A Short History of the Renaissance in Northern Europe Malcolm Vale, University of Oxford, UK
The concept of a ‘Renaissance’ in the arts, in thought, and in more general culture North of the Alps often evokes the idea of a cultural transplant which was not indigenous to, or rooted in, the society from which it emerged. Yet there were certainly differences, divergences and dichotomies between North and South which have to be addressed. Here, Malcolm Vale argues for a Northern Renaissance which, while cognisant of Italian developments, displayed strong continuities with the indigenous cultures of northern Europe. But it also contributed novelties and innovations which often tended to stem from, and build upon, those continuities.

Their Role as Expert Witnesses Mathew Turner
The Frankfurt Auschwitz trial saw the engagement of four of the nation's leading historians as expert witnesses - Martin Broszat, Hans Buchheim, Helmut Krausnick, and Hans-Adolf Jacobsen.

Transforming Occupation in the Western Zones of Germany Politics, Everyday Life and Social Interactions, 1945-55
Edited by Camilo Erlichman, Leiden University, The Netherlands & Christopher Knowles, Kings College London, UK This book provides an in-depth transnational study of power politics, daily life and social interactions in the Western Zones of occupied Germany during the aftermath of the Second World War. Adopting a history from below approach, the volume explores the personal memories and the spatial and environmental history of marginalised groups in occupied zones, highlighting regime change, nation building, transitional justice, reconstruction, and the multifaceted relationship between the occupiers and the occupied. It also provides a new perspective on the impact and legacy of German occupation, one focusing on German occupation as a shared experience.
Nazi Buildings, Cold War Traces and Governmentality in PostUnification Berlin Clare Copley, University of Central Lancashire, UK
This study reflects on post-unification responses to iconic Nazi architecture to reveal insights into power, legitimacy and memory politics in the Berlin Republic. Analysing public debates, physical interventions into the buildings and the structuring of the memory landscapes around them, the book demonstrates that memory politics impact not just upon the built environment of the post-dictatorship city, but upon the way decisions about it are made. In doing so, it makes the case for conceiving of a specifically ‘post-authoritarian’ governmentality and uses the responses to constructions like Goering’s Aviation Ministry and the Olympic complex to explore its features.

A Social History of Early Rock ‘n’ Roll in Germany
Holocaust Perpetrators of the German Police Battalions
Julia Sneeringer, Queens College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
Ian Rich, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Hamburg from Burlesque to The Beatles, 1956-69
A Social History of Early Rock ‘n’ Roll in Germany explores the people and spaces of Hamburg's rock'n'roll scene in the 1960s. Sneeringer weaves together the histories of youth culture, sex, gender, and the media, to reveal that transnational encounters in the St. Pauli district produced a musical style that provided emotional and physical liberation, and challenged powerful forces of conservatism and conformity with effects that transformed the world for decades to come.
Holocaust Perpetrators of the German Police Battalions examines the structures and actions of two previously unstudied German police battalions in Poland and Ukraine between 1940 to 1942. Using these case studies, Ian Rich draws attention to the actions and motivations of individual lower-ranking policemen who participated in the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust. He illuminates their pivotal roles as organizers, educators and role models, and the ways they were able to influence their subordinates to carry out these atrocities.

Censorship in Czech and Hungarian Academic Publishing, 1969-1989 Snakes and Ladders
Libora Oates-Indruchová, University of Graz, Austria
Ranging from WWII to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Roman Krakovsky's innovative analysis considers the impact of Stakhanovism, the impossible-to-achieve production targets intended to assert socialism's future potential; the attempt to replace Sunday's Christian attributes with socialist ones; and the profound changes brought about to the public and private spheres, including the culture of informing and the ways this was circumvented. Across a wide range of case studies, State and Society in Communist Czechoslovakia demonstrates both the far-reaching extent of the communist vision and the inherent flaws and contradictions that gradually destabilised it.
Drawing on primary source material from the Editorial Board of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and policy state documents, Libora Oates-Indruchová explores to what extent scholarly publishing in state-socialist Czechoslovakia and Hungary was affected by censorship. This book provides a fascinating insight into the ambivalent beneficial and detrimental effects of censorship on scholarly work from the Prague Spring of 1968 to the Velvet Revolution of 1989, as well as reflecting on the cultural significance of scholarly publishing in the light of current debates on the neoliberal academia and the future of the humanities.

Aid and Influence in the Cold War
Edited by Philip E. Muehlenbeck, George Washington University, USA & Natalia Telepneva, University College London, UK This important book examines the agency of Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania during the 'discovery' of the 'Third World' from the 1950s to the 1970s. Drawing from a diverse range of overlooked archival sources, contributors study the diplomacy of the eastern and central European communist states to reveal their myriad motivations and goals which were, importantly, often in direct conflict with Soviet directives. This work, the first revisionist review of the role of the junior members as a whole, will be of interest to all scholars of the Cold War.

State, Nationalism, and the Jewish Communities of Modern Greece Evdoxios Doxiadis, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Imperial Control in Cyprus
Education and Political Manipulation in the British Empire Antigone Heraclidou
Based on the evidence of numerous Greek consular reports, speeches, memoirs, political interviews and coverage of the status and treatment of the communities by the international Jewish press, State, Nationalism, and the Jewish Communities of Modern Greece sketches a detailed picture of the Greek political elite and the state’s bureaucratic view of the various Jewish communities. By focusing on the state, though not ignoring popular attitudes, the book successfully argues that the Greek state followed policies that did not conform, and often were in opposition to, popular attitudes when it came to minorities and the Jews in particular.
Imperial Control in Cyprus charts the cultural and educational aspects of British colonial rule in Cyprus and analyses what these policies reveal about internal struggles on the island between 1931 and 1960. Cyprus had been under British occupation since 1878, but it was in the 1930s that educational policies acquired a strong political significance. Gradually, the education system reflected the shifting political developments in colonial Cyprus and by the start of the 1950s, schools had become a breeding ground for discontent. Antigone Heraclidou provides a new dimension to understandings of the deadlock that was to prove one of the most intractable in the final years of the British Empire.

Special Operations in Norway SOE and Resistance in World War II Ian Herrington Between 1940 and 1945, Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) carried out sabotage and organised resistance across occupied Europe. Over 5 years, SOE sent over 500 agents into Norway to carry out a range of operations from sabotage and assassination to attempts to organise an underground guerrilla army. This book is the first multi-archival, international academic analysis of SOE’s policy and operations in Norway and the influences that shaped them, challenging previous interpretations of the relationship between this organisation and both the Norwegian authorities and the Milorg resistance movement.

Antiauthoritarian Youth Culture in Francoist Spain
The Decline of the Congress System
Clashing with Fascism
Miroslav Šedivý, University of West Bohemia, Czech Republic
Louie Dean Valencia-García, Texas State University, USA
In The Decline of the Congress System, Mirolsav Šedivý analyses Austrian Chancellor Metternich’s policy towards the pre-united Italian states from 1830 to 1848. With an emphasis on geopolitics and international law and drawing attention to the unsettled role of the Italian states within European diplomacy in the period, this book explains why the Italian peninsula never developed into the stable region that Metternich hoped to establish at the heart of the Congress System.
This book explores the role of young people in shaping a democratic Spain, focusing on their urban performances of dissent, their consumption of various forms of censored literature, and their involvement in a newly developed punk scene. This antiauthoritarian youth culture reflected a mixture of sexual liberation, a rejection of the perceived 'backwardness' of dictatorship, a reinvention of native Iberian pluralistic traditions and a burgeoning global youth culture that connected the USA, Britain, France and Spain. Antiauthoritarian Youth Culture in Francoist Spain offers a fascinating account of Madrid's youth culture and its role in the transition to democracy.

Island of Beauty and Conflict With settlers from early tribes to the Greeks and Romans, through the Arabs, Normans, French, Spanish and finally Italians, the island’s culture has been changed dramatically by each of the foreign powers. In this book, Jeremy Dummett writes an engrossing history of the entire island, through excess of power, cultural prosperity and flourishing art, to extreme poverty and oppression in times of war and invasion. Dummett delves into the stories and personalities that make up this extraordinary island, with a great cathedral and temples built to impress but never finished; Sicily uncovers the background behind the island’s beauty.

The Anglo-Florentines
The British in Tuscany, 1814-1860 Diana Webb & Tony Webb This book gives a fuller picture than has hitherto been attempted of the variety of Britons who became residents of Florence between the end of the Napoleonic wars and the absorption of Tuscany into the kingdom of Italy. Many of them were leisured, and some aristocratic; a few were writers or artists; the British clergy and physicians who ministered to them were gentlemen. Many others were shopkeepers, merchants and even engineers. Some achieved a more profound knowledge of the country (and its language) than others, but all were affected to some degree by the momentous events which led to Italian unification.

Metternich, Italy and European Diplomacy
The Making of a Postwar Republic
This book offers a fresh perspective on the genesis of the Italian republic as viewed through the efforts of its three most influential leaders: Christian Democrat Alcide De Gasperi, Socialist Pietro Nenni and Communist Palmiro Togliatti. The author demonstrates how De Gasperi and his fellow statesmen’s shared experience of Fascist oppression, belief in popular sovereignty and ability to compromise despite ideological differences enabled the creation of Italy’s postwar republic. Drawing on personal papers, speeches and writings as well as governmental and party archives, he shows how these leaders' political practices and customs continue to define Italian parliamentary life today.

Britain, France and Europe, 1945-1975 Almost Allies
Anthony Adamthwaite, University of California, Berkeley, USA In the aftermath of the Second World War, France seized the initiative in European construction, gaining ascendancy in Western Europe; Britain became the sick man. How and why did the French outsmart their arch-rivals? Drawing on American, British and French official records, together with private papers and interviews, Anthony Adamthwaite explores the reasons for French success. As well as reassessing Britain’s membership bids for the European Community, the comparative study evaluates key influences: the mentality of decision makers; leadership styles; the post-1945 international system; policy making machinery; the ‘democratic deficit’ in British and French politics and public opinion.

The Making of England
A New History of the Anglo-Saxon World Mark Atherton, Oxford University, UK During the 10th century England began to emerge as a distinct country with an identity that was both part of, yet separate from, 'Christendom'. Here, Mark Atherton shows how the stories, legends, biographies and chronicles of Anglo-Saxon England reflected both this exciting time of innovation as well as the myriad lives, loves and hates of the people who wrote them. Bringing a volatile age to vivid and muscular life, Atherton argues that it was the vernacular of Alfred the Great, as much as Viking war, that truly forged the nation.

Microhistories of Domestic Murder
With 10 case studies and 30 images, this book will take you inside the homes that were murder crime scenes to read their geographical and symbolic meanings in the light of the development of crime scene photography, forensic analysis and psychological testing. In doing so, it reveals how photographs of domestic objects and spaces were often used to recreate a motive for the murder based on the defendant's identity rather than to prove if they committed the crime at all.

The Second World War and the 'Other British Isles'
Peace and Power in Cold War Britain
Daniel Travers, Laurentian University, Canada
Christopher R. Hill, Birmingham City University, UK
Memory and Heritage in the Isle of Man, Orkney and the Channel Islands In this remarkable contribution to British Island Studies, Daniel Travers pursues these histories and their commemoration across numerous local sites of memory: museums, heritage sites, public spaces. He examines the way these island identities assert their own distinctiveness over the British wartime story, and ultimately the way they fit into the ongoing discourse about how the memory of the Second World War has been constructed since 1945.

Gender, Dating and the Rise of ‘the Single’
Seeking Love in Modern Britain charts the emergence of the modern British single through an account of the dating industry that sprang up to serve her and him from the 1970s onwards. It shows how – amid a period of unprecedented sexual and social change – ‘the single’ became a key unisex identity and lifestyle. Refuting the widespread idea that the Internet invented modern dating, this book uses an eclectic and engaging range of first-person accounts and snapshots from the time to show that the story of contemporary romance, mediated courtship and singleness began in a time long before Tinder.

British Children's Literature and the First World War Representations since 1914
David Budgen, University of Kent, UK Using novels, school textbooks, comics and story papers, as well as publishers’ archives, social surveys, Department of Education files and other primary documents, this book examines developments in understandings of the First World War throughout the 20th century. Budgen raises important questions about the presentation of history: are modern children’s books about the past more accurate than their forebears? Why do children’s authors want to write about the war? Do they successfully represent the reality of the past, and is accuracy important?

Neo-Tories
The Revolt of British Conservatives against Democracy and Political Modernity (1929-1939) Bernhard Dietz, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Germany The danger to British democracy in the interwar period came from a different source to that which has thus far been assumed: from a network of radical Conservatives who challenged the political system and sought to replace it with an authoritarian corporate state. In this book this network is systematically analysed for the first time and its members are given a name: Neo-Tories. With strong links to the European right, yet a minority back home, this group of British Conservatives are all the more fascinating today because it is on their ultimate failure that the success of British democracy rested.

Leisure, Voluntary Action and Social Change in Britain, 18801939 Robert Snape, University of Bolton, UK
'A fascinating account of how a wide range of different groups and individuals saw and promoted leisure as a means of reforming society for better.' Martin Johnes, Swansea University, UK This book documents the cultural shift from aristocratic charitable philanthropy to the social service of the masses, and it teases out the intellectual influences underpinning the movement from figures like Matthew Arnold, John Ruskin, and William Morris. Leisure, as Robert Snape demonstrates, has been a central and poorly recognised organizing force in British communities, from its developments at the grassroots and neighbourhood level to its rise in social pillars like the YMCA & YWCA, Working-men's Clubs, and the National Council of Social Service.

Britannia's Zealots, Volume I
Tradition, Empire and the Forging of the Conservative Right N.C. Fleming, University of Worcester, UK Britannia's Zealots is the first book-length study to examine the Tory Right from the late19th century to the present day. Neil Fleming explores the overlooked ways in which Tory Right parliamentarians have shaped their party’s policies and propaganda, in and out of office, and their relationships with the press and ordinary activists. It demonstrates that this influence could be circumscribing, and on occasion highly disruptive, with consequences which remain relevant for today’s Conservative party.

Manufacturing Consensus
Donna Loftus, The Open University, UK Capital and Labour in Victorian England explores how accounts of industrial society evolved in the 19th century and how they inspired reform movements designed to accommodate the conflicts and contradictions that were a feature of industrial capitalism. It traces the rise of capitalist utopianism in the mid-century and looks at how such visions fell apart in the face of industrial unrest, organised labour and more aggressive forms of capitalism. This book reveals and challenges how certain understandings of the past were accepted and offers new interventions by drawing on a range of sources.

The WRNS in Wartime
The Women's Royal Naval Service 19171945 Hannah Roberts, Godalming College, UK The Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) was created in 1917, re-formed in 1938 and maintained after 1945. This book determines for the first time the reasons for the expansion and contraction of the service, the impact of key individuals, and in turn, the influence the service had on its members. Hannah Roberts offers new insights into a previously under-studied British military institution, which celebrated its centenary in 2017. She shows how political and military decision-making within the fluctuating national security situation, coupled with the growing cultural acceptability of women taking on military roles, allowed for the unprecedented growth of the service in World War II. Using 21 new oral histories and a multitude of archived personal documents, this book demonstrates the vital importance of the Women's Royal Naval Service in both the world wars.

Ireland and the Great War A Social and Political History
Niamh Gallagher, St Catharine’s College at the University of Cambridge, UK In Ireland and the Great War Niamh Gallagher draws upon a formidable array of original research to offer a radical new reading of Irish involvement in the world’s first total war. Exploring the ‘home front’ and Irish diasporic communities in Canada, Australia, and Britain, Gallagher reveals that substantial support for the Allied war effort continued largely unabated not only until November 1918, but afterwards as well. Often this was a joint effort between Protestants and Catholics, who collaborated in various ways to support an international cause they both believed in. Rich in social texture and with fascinating new case studies of Irish participation in the conflict, this book has the makings of a major rethinking of Ireland’s twentieth century.

Oppression, Opportunism and Religious Identity in Tsarist Moscow While scholars have commonly painted the history of the Old Believers as one of survival in the face of persistent persecution, Peter De Simone offers a more nuanced picture. Based on research into extensive, yet mostly unknown, archival materials in Moscow, he shows the Old Believers as versatile and opportunistic, and demonstrates that they actively engaged with, and even challenged, the very notion of the spiritual and ideological place of Moscow in Imperial Russia.

Life and Change from Peter the Great to Vladimir Putin
Remembering World War II in Brezhnev’s Hero City The 1943 battle to free the Soviet Black Sea port of Novorossiisk from German occupation was fought from the beach head of Malaia Zemlia, where the young Colonel Leonid Brezhnev saw action. Through the prism of this provincial Russian town, Vicky Davis sheds light on the character of Brezhnev as perceived by his people, and on the process of memory for the ordinary Russian citizen. This book represents a much-needed departure from the study of myth and memory in larger cities of the former Soviet Union, adding nuance to the existing portrait of Brezhnev and demonstrating the continued importance of war memory in Russia today.

The Communist Party in the Russian Civil War A Political History
Gayle Lonergan, Higher School of Economics, Russia This book challenges the traditional historical view that the communist party in-fighting during the Russian civil war was a dualistic struggle between Trotsky’s democratically inclined party and the bureaucratic Stalinist version. Rather, what emerges from Lonergan’s meticulous research is a party in constant flux, whose unstable membership in many ways actually pushed the leadership into an increasingly authoritarian stance. Examining the six party congresses that took place during the civil war and drawing from the political and personal archives of various party members, this book is a much-needed re-assessment of the Soviet Union’s formative political years.

Russia in the Time of Cholera
Soviet Americana
John P. Davis, Hopkinsville Community College, Kentucky, USA
Sergei Zhuk, Ball State University, USA
Disease under Romanovs and Soviets
Drawing on extensive archival research and the so-called 'material turn' in historiography, John P. Davis demonstrates that Romanov-era physicians' environmental approach to disease was not ill-grounded but born of pragmatic scientific considerations. The physicians confronted cholera in a broad and sophisticated way, essentially laying the foundations for the system of public health that the Soviets successfully used to defeat cholera during the New Economic Policy (1922-1928). By focusing for the first time on the conclusion of the cholera epoch in Russia, Davis adds an indispensable layer of nuance to the existing conception of Romanov Russia and its complicated legacy in the Soviet period.

Grounding its analysis in the works of historians Timofei Granovskii, Vasilii Klyuchevskii, and Ivan Grevs, Writing History in Late Imperial Russia explores how Russian thinkers--being sensitive to the social, cultural, and psychological resonances of creative writing--drew on the literary canon as a valuable resource for understanding the past. The result is a novel and nuanced discussion of the influences of literature on the development of Russian historiography, which shines new light both on late Imperial attitudes to historical investigation and considers the legacy of such historical practice on Russia today.

Nomads and Soviet Rule
A Life in the Shadow of Stalin’s Terror
Alun Thomas, Staffordshire University, UK
Ludmila Miklashevskaya
The nomads of Central Asia were already well accustomed to life under the power of a distant capital when the Bolsheviks fomented revolution on the streets of Petrograd. Yet after the fall of the Tsar, the nature, ambition and potency of that power would change dramatically, ultimately resulting in the near eradication of Central Asian nomadism. Based on extensive primary source work in Almaty, Bishkek and Moscow, Nomads and Soviet Rule charts the development of this volatile and brutal relationship and challenges the often repeated view that events followed a linear path of gradually escalating violence.
Edited and Translated by Elaine MacKinnon, University of West Georgia, USA Accompanied by a translator’s introduction and historical explanatory notes, Gender and Survival in Soviet Russia sheds new light on the relationship between power, gender, and society in 20th-century Russia. From her Jewish upbringing in Odessa to her exile and false imprisonment in a labour camp, this book tells the important story of Ludmila Miklashevskaya’s persecution in Soviet Russia and provides insight into Soviet artistic, intellectual, and political life set against the tumultuous backdrop of revolutions, wars, and repressive regimes. It is thus a vital primary resource for scholars of modern Russian history and gender studies.

Criminal Subculture in the Gulag Prisoner Society in the Stalinist Labour Camps Mark Vincent, Independent Scholar, UK From Gulag journals to tattoo drawings, Mark Vincent draws on a range of archival materials from the Moscow Criminological Bureau to reconstruct a fuller picture of Gulag daily life. In thematic chapters, Criminal Subculture in the Gulag maps the ‘penal arc’ of prisoners across initiation tests, means of communication, the importance of card playing, punishment rituals and the notorious 1948-52 cyka (‘bitches’) internal prison war between military veterans and vory-v-zakone. This interdisciplinary volume is important reading for all scholars of modern Russia as well as those interested in international criminality and penology.

The Caspian Frontier before the Great Game S. Peter Poullada Translated by Claora E. Styron In the mid-18th century the Russian tsar sent two expeditions across the Caspian Sea in response to an plea for assistance from the recently subjugated Kalmyk Khan. The official journals of these expeditions, here translated into English for the first time, record the encounters of Captains Tebelev and Kopitovskii with the Turkmen tribes of the Caspian frontier zone. Together they form the basis for Peter Poullada's study of the relationship between the expanding Russian empire and the tribal peoples of Central Asia over a period of more than 200 years. Russian-Turkmen Encounters provides a valuable new resource that will lead to a deeper understanding of Russia's imperial expansion and its involvement with the major political groups in Central Asia.

Gender, Slavery and Abolition in the British Straits Settlements, 1795-1841 Shawna Herzog, Washington State University, USA
Shawna Herzog explores the ways sex and gender complicated the enforcement of colonial antislavery policies, the challenges local officials faced in identifying slave populations, and how European reclassification of slave labor to systems of indenture, or ‘free,’ labor created a new illicit trade for women and girls to the Strait Settlements of Southeast Asia. This book provides an important new perspective for scholars of slavery interested in Southeast Asia, British imperialism in the Indian Ocean world and Asia, the East India Company in the Straits, and gender and sexuality in the context of empire.

The result is a nuanced and enlightening study which provides a base to explore the role of culture in the formation of North and South Korea.

The Dutch East India Company in Early Modern Japan Gift Giving and Diplomacy
Michael Laver, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA Michael Laver examines how the giving of exotic gifts in early modern Japan facilitated Dutch trade by ascribing legitimacy to the shogunal government and by playing into the shogun’s desire to create a worldview centered on a Japanese tributary state. The book reveals how formal and informal gift exchange also created a smooth working relationship between the Dutch and the Japanese bureaucracy, allowing the politically charged issue of foreign trade to proceed relatively uninterrupted for over two centuries.

Indian Muslim Minorities and the 1857 Rebellion Religion, Rebels and Jihad
Ilyse R. Morgenstein Fuerst, University of Vermont, USA While jihad has been the subject of countless studies in the wake of recent terrorist attacks, scholarship on the topic has so far paid little attention to South Asian Islam and, more specifically, its place in South Asian history. Seeking to address these gaps, Ilyse R. Morgenstein Fuerst examines the 1857 Rebellion, and explores how interpretations of the Rebellion as jihad shaped subsequent discourses, definitions and codifications of Islam in the region. Drawing on extensive primary source analysis, this unique take on Islamic identities in South Asia will be invaluable to scholars working on British colonial history, India and the Raj, as well as to those studying Islam in the region and beyond.

Mass Media, Consumerism and National Identity in Postwar Japan Martyn David Smith, SOAS, University of London, UK
Martyn Smith addresses Japan’s evolving nationalism and national identity in relation to its newly rising consumerism through a study of the transformation of the print media and the market for weekly and monthly magazines. Examining housewife magazines, news magazines and publications aimed at young people, Smith shows how the relationship of nationalism to everyday life is best understood by taking into account the changing nature of consumption. By presenting an alternative to the traditional ‘topdown’ narrative of state-driven economic nationalism, this book makes a unique contribution to the study of postwar Japanese history and Japanese nationalism.

Engineering Asia
Technology, Colonial Development, and the Cold War Order Edited by Hiromi Mizuno, University of Minnesota, USA, Aaron S. Moore, Arizona State University, USA & John DiMoia, Seoul National University, South Korea
Drawing upon written and oral Japanese, Indonesian, Dutch and English-language sources from both wartime and the postwar period, this book narrates the Japanese occupation of Indonesia as a transnational intersection between two complex Asian societies. It places this narrative in a larger wartime context of domestic, regional, and global crisis that was not only military, but also social, cultural, and economic: a crisis of imperial and liberal capitalist modernity itself. Breaking new ground interpretatively as well as thematically and narratively, Mark’s monumental study is vital for students and scholars of modern Asian history.
Weaving together chapters on Imperial Japan’s wartime mobilization, Asia's first wave of postwar decolonization and Cold War geopolitical conflict, Engineering Asia demonstrates how Asia’s present prosperity was born not of a so-called ‘economic miracle’ but of violent and dynamic eras of the 20th century. The book argues that what continued to operate throughout these tumultuous eras were engineering networks of technology and it highlights how these networks helped shape Asia’s contemporary economic landscape.

A Short History of Babylon Karen Radner
Much of our perception of Babylon in the West is filtered through the poignant echoes of loss and longing that resonate in the Hebrew Bible. The lamenting exiles of Judah craved a return to their lost homeland after the sack of Jerusalem in 587 BC and their forcible removal by Nebuchadnezzar to the alien floodlands of the Euphrates. But to see Babylon only as an adjunct to Old Testament history (while it may be fascinating for the correspondences between – for example – Hammurabi’s famous law code and the Book of Deuteronomy, or the biblical story of the Flood and the Epic of Gilgamesh), is misleading. By the time ill-fated Judaean ruler Hezekiah rebelled against his Babylonian overlord, and was blinded, bound and hustled off to captivity in the city that the Book of Revelation portrays as an epicentre of depravity and harlotry, Babylon had already, for fifteen hundred years, enjoyed a rich and independent history. A Short History of Babylon explores the everchanging city that shaped world history for two millennia.

Gender, Power and Sexual Abuse in the Pacific
Rev. Simpson’s “Improper Liberties” Emily J. Manktelow, University of Kent, UK In 1843 on the island of Tahiti, the evangelical missionary Rev.

Simpson's case, this book provides insights into the gender, power and racial dynamics of a case of sexual abuse on the frontiers of European colonialism. In so doing it explores the social and sexual context of clerical abuse, considers the hierarchies of gender and power that determined how the case was handled, and investigates the nature of colonialism, gender and abuse in the 19th century.

The Women of the Viking World Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir, Yale University, USA Valkyries: the female supernatural beings that choose who dies and who lives on the battlefield. They protect some, but guide spears, arrows and sword blades into the bodies of others. The fateful agency of women is widespread in Norse sources. Norse sagas and viking myths tell stories of war and strife, loyalty and betrayal, murder and revenge, privation and success. Valkyrie will introduce readers to the diverse and fascinating texts recorded in medieval Iceland, a culture able to imagine women in all kinds of roles carrying power, not just in this world, but pulling the strings in the other-world, too.

Women, Writing and Religion in England and Beyond, 650–1100 Diane Watt, University of Surrey, UK
Women’s literary histories usually start in the later Middle Ages, but recent scholarship has shown that actually women were at the heart of the emergence of the English literary tradition. Women, Writing and Religion in England and Beyond, 650–1100 focuses on the period before the so-called ‘Barking Renaissance’ of women’s writing in the 12th century. By examining the surviving evidence of women’s authorship, as well as the evidence of women’s engagement with literary culture more widely, Diane Watt argues that early women’s writing was often lost, suppressed, and deliberately destroyed. This book provides a much-needed look at women’s writing in the early medieval period that is crucial to understanding women’s literary history more broadly.

County and Nobility in Norman Italy Power and Authority in the Kingdom of Sicily Hervin Fernández-Aceves, Leeds Humanities Research Institute, UK Whilst it is often seen as centralised and administratively advanced, the genesis and social structures of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily were constantly fraught between the forces of royal power and local aristocracy authority. This book is the result of thorough research conducted on the vast source material for the history of this fascinating 12th century world. Starting with the activities of Norman counts and the configuration of the counties, it explores how social control operated in these nodes of regional authority, and argues that the Sicilian monarchy relied on the counties (and the counts' authority) to keep the realm united and exercise control.

The Irish Scholarly Presence at St. Gall Networks of Knowledge in the Early Middle Ages
Sven Meeder, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands The Carolingian period represented a Golden Age for the abbey of St Gall, an Alpine monastery in modern-day Switzerland. Among its books are several of Irish origin, while others contain works of learning originally written in Ireland. This study explores the practicalities of the spread of this Irish scholarship to St. Gall and the reception it received once there. In doing so, this book for the first time investigates a part of the network of knowledge that fed this important centre of learning with scholarship and offers a new viewpoint on the spread and reception of Irish learning in the Carolingian period.

Writing Battles
New Perspectives on Warfare and Memory in Medieval Europe Edited by Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, University of Cambridge, UK, Rory Naismith, King's College London, UK & Elizabeth Ashman Rowe, University of Cambridge, UK Battles have long featured prominently in historical consciousness, as moments when the balance of power was seen to have tipped, or when aspects of collective identity were shaped. But how have perspectives on warfare changed? How similar are present day ideologies of warfare to those of the Medieval period?

Magic as a Political Crime in Medieval and Early Modern England A History of Sorcery and Treason
Francis Young, Independent Scholar, UK Magic as a Political Crime in Medieval and Early Modern England offers the first concerted historical analysis of allegations of the use of magic to either harm or kill the monarch, or else manipulate the course of political events in England, between the 14th century and the dawn of the Enlightenment. This book addresses a subject usually either passed over or elided within the study of witchcraft. It argues that, while charges of treasonable magic certainly were used to destroy reputations or to ensure the convictions of undesirables, magic was also perceived as a genuine threat by English governments into the Civil War era and beyond.

Food, Religion and Communities in Early Modern Europe Christopher Kissane, London School of Economics & Political Science, UK
Food, Religion and Communities in Early Modern Europe employs three key case studies in Castile, Zurich and Shetland to explore what food can reveal about the wider social and cultural history of early modern communities undergoing religious upheaval. Christopher Kissane uses a three-part structure focused on the major historical subjects of the Inquisition, the Reformation and witchcraft to examine issues of identity, culture, gender, symbolism, and community. This is an important study for food historians and anyone seeking to understand the significant issues and events in early modern Europe from a fresh perspective.

Social Difference in NineteenthCentury Spanish America An Intellectual History
Francisco A. Ortega, National University of Colombia, Colombia This book explores the transformation of political culture in northwest Spanish America during the age of the Atlantic revolutions and the subsequent period of nation building. It examines these transformations by focusing on the meaning and intellectual importance of social difference, both as a resource and as an obstacle, for diverse political and intellectual actors. Following key political debates, this book discusses the powerful independent projects and ambitious institutional efforts within these spheres and shows how they draw from a shared EuroAmerican history in order to respond to the post-colonial challenge of constructing representative republics with heterogeneous populations.

Garrison Nelson, University of Vermont, USA In the first biography of U.S. House Speaker John W.

POWs and Sexual Desire in the United States during the Second World War Matthias Reiss, University of Exeter, UK This is the first book to examine the nature, extent and impact of the sexual activities of Axis prisoners of war in the United States during the Second World War. Matthias Reiss argues that fraternisation among captors and captives in America led to sexual relationships which caused significant tensions in American society. By focusing on the fight against fraternisation and same-sex activities, this study treads new ground. It highlights the transnational impact of fraternisation, and argues that the prisoners’ sojourn in the United States also influenced American society as captivity became a site for non-violent encounters in times of war.

The First Mapping of America tells the story of the General Survey, the remarkable maps, and the men who made them.

The Lost Cause of the Confederacy and American Civil War Memory David J. Anderson, Swansea University, UK
This book examines the ways in which white and black southerners used historical material to define and understand themselves. Taking as its thematic starting point the Confederacy's defeat in 1865, it builds on the idea that memories are produced out of experience before reshaping it. Using diaries, letters, reminiscences, magazines, fiction and film, this study illustrates how the creation of the Lost Cause was at once political and emotional, not only reflecting the political, economic and racial interests it served, but also reflecting the genuine desire to compensate for what had been loved and lost.

The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens Film and History
Nicole Beth Wallenbrock, University of Tennessee, USA The Algerian War of Independence is a powerful symbol for both the former empire and its last colony. Cinema played an active role in representing and re-forming the public’s understanding of the conflict. In The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens, Wallenbrock uses production details, box office figures, and narrative analogy to probe this cinematic discourse to shed light on topics such as immigration and national identity as shown in recent depictions of the war from both sides of the Mediterranean.

War, Law and Humanity
The Campaign to Control Warfare, 18531914 James Crossland, Liverpool John Moores University, UK War, Law and Humanity tells the story of the transatlantic campaign to either mitigate the destructive forces of the battlefield, or prevent wars from being waged altogether, in the decades prior to the disastrous summer of 1914. Starting with the Crimean War of the 1850s, James Crossland traces this campaign to control warfare from the scandalous barracks of Scutari to the shambolic hospitals of the American Civil War, from the bloody sieges of Paris and Erzurum to the combative conference halls of Geneva and The Hague, uncovering the intertwined histories of a generation of humanitarians, surgeons, pacifists and utopians who were shocked into action by the barbarism and depravities of war.

World War I in Central and Eastern Europe
Politics, Conflict and Military Experience Edited by Judith Devlin, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland, John Paul Newman, NUI Maynooth, Republic of Ireland & Maria Falina, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland In the English language World War I has largely been analysed through the lens of the Western Front. This book examines wartime experiences and the memory of war in the East. Analysing soldiers' letters and diaries to discover the nature and impact of displacement and refugee status on memory, this volume offers a basis for comparison between experiences in these two areas. It also provides intra-regional comparisons that are missing from current research. Was the war in the East wholly 'other'? Were soldiers in this region as alienated as those in the West? Did they see themselves as citizens and was there continuity between their civilian and military identities? How did soldiers and citizens in this region experience and react to the traumas and upheavals of war and with what consequences for the post-war era? In seeking to answer these questions and others, this volume significantly adds to our understanding of World War I as experienced in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Art of Political Storytelling Why Stories Win Votes in Post-truth Politics
Philip Seargeant, The Open University, UK From Donald Trump to Brexit Britain, tapping into people’s emotions has proved far more effective than rational argument in post-truth politics — and, as Philip Seargeant argues, the most powerful tool for manipulating emotions is a gripping narrative. Looking at how stories are created, shared and contested, this book illuminates the pivotal role that persuasive storytelling plays in shaping the political world. Explaining the tools and tricks of narrative, and evaluating the language and rhetorical strategies used, this book offers a compelling way of understanding the chaotic world of today’s politics.

The Sociopolitics of English Language Testing
Edited by Seyyed-Abdolhamid Mirhosseini, Alzahra University, Iran & Peter I. De Costa, Michigan State University, USA
This book examines the ways in which stylistic cues affect the main experiential features of narrative texts: the moods evoked in readers, readers’ relationships with characters and readers’ responses to plot events. It considers how the language used to create moods and characters triggers blends of positive and negative emotion, where humorous amusement is evoked alongside a negative feeling. The book offers an approach to such features of comedy as dark humour, cringe humour and comic suspense, emphasising the relationship between humorous language and mental states which are typically considered serious.
Highlighting marginalized but significant perspectives about the sociopolitical essence of English language tests and testing processes worldwide, this book explores the social considerations of testing theories and practices from a critical perspective and investigates concerns surrounding power inequalities. Through socially-sensitive theoretical as well as empirical discussion and investigation, the book offers valuable insights, addressing issues of ideology, diversity, power, and dominance in English language testing.

Cognitive Semiotics
Signs, Mind and Meaning Per Aage Brandt, Case Western Reserve University, USA Interrogating the relatively new field of cognitive semiotics, this book explores shared issues in cognitive science and semiotics and investigates the potential of a cognitive semiotic approach to enhance our understanding of language, thought and semiosis in general. It discusses the understanding of meaning and mind through four major dimensions: mental architecture, mental spaces, discourse coherence and eco-organization. Encompassing a rich variety of topics and debates, Cognitive Semiotics outlines several bridges between 'continental' and 'analytic' thinking in the study of semantics, pragmatics, discourse and the philosophy of language and mind.

On Invisible Language in Modern English
A Corpus-based Approach to Ellipsis Evelyn Gandón-Chapela, University of Cantabria, Spain
Drawing on discourse analysis, corpus methods, conversation analysis, cognitive linguistics, multiculturalism research, metaphor analysis and online communications research, this volume demonstrates how linguistic analysis can improve our understanding of a variety of international healthcare contexts. These include not only the livedexperience of different illnesses, but also communications training, disease prevention, the effectiveness of public health messaging, access to appropriate care, professional mobility and professional terminology.
Taking into account grammatical, semantic and discursive, usage and processing variables, this book identifies the linguistic forces that trigger ellipsis in English. Evelyn Gandón-Chapela builds upon the few previous empirical works on ellipsis in present-day English to offer the first comparative analysis of ellipsis and its development throughput the recent history of the English language. She also provides a complex query algorithm which automatically detects and retrieves cases of ellipsis, leading to successful recall ratios and is applicable to a wide range of parsed corpora.

Edited by Kiene Brillenburg Wurth, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, Kári Driscoll, Utrecht University, The Netherlands & Jessica Pressman, San Diego State University, USA Book Presence in a Digital Age explores the resilience and resurgence of print literatures, book art, and zines in the late age of print within both a contemporary and a historical perspective. Even as they focus on the materiality of books as bodies of literary writing in the present, the contributors seek to understand these present developments by considering them in the light of earlier “moments” of media transition. Book Presence in a Digital Age offers a new outlook on media plurality and divergence in the present, as well as on the resilience of books and paper as bearers of the literary.

Liberalism and Education
Forgetfulness
Francis O'Gorman, University of Edinburgh, UK
Francis O'Gorman, University of Edinburgh, UK
The Monopoly of an Idea
Francis O’Gorman examines the damaging consequences of a liberalism that seems almost obligatory within modern western universities and in literature and art. In the 20th century what had been open-minded inquiry gradually gathered an assumption that judgment, particularly moral judgment, had no part in a university education. Liberal values became the norm but the costs were not considered, including the rise of populism and nationalism. Because liberals have insisted that intolerance is morally unacceptable, the only forms of intolerance that we can now perceive are extreme. Liberalism has handed to the extremists the only realistic option for taking a different view.

"Forgetfulness is for anyone who wants to remember what it is like to read an intelligent and provocative book." Robert Hewison, cultural historian This is a book about modern culture and its profound rejection of the past. It charts emergence of the idea that what's important in human life and work is what will happen in the future. Forgetfulness asks what the absence of history does to our sense of purpose, as well as what belonging both to time and place might mean in cultures without a memory. It is written in praise of the best achievements and deeds of the past, but is also an expression of profound anxiety about what forgetting them is doing to us.

The Making of Samuel Beckett's Play/Comedie and Film Olga Beloborodova, Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium
Beckett’s play Play / Comédie and his only film, Film, were written around the same time (19621963). Although medium-specific opportunities and challenges underlie their very different geneses, they have influenced each other in both form and content. Both works are grounded in technology and rely on explanatory notes for the members of their production teams, thus exposing the inherently collaborative nature of such projects. The genetic critical analysis of the manuscripts of Play / Comédie and Film not only contributes to the interpretation of each work separately but considers the two works together through the prism of Beckett’s multimedial authorship.

Modernist Lives
Biography and Autobiography at Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press Claire Battershill, Simon Fraser University, Canada Focusing on the biographies and autobiographies published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press from 1917-1946, Battershill shows the importance of publishing history in understanding modernist literary work and culture. Modernist Lives draws on the press's archival material to show how the Woolfs' literary theories were expressed in all aspects of their publishing: their marketing strategies, editorial practices and the literary composition of their acquisitions. Featuring the works of figures like Christopher Isherwood, Henry Green, Viola Tree, Vita Sackville-West and the Woolfs, Battershill illuminates the history of Hogarth books from their initial solicitation to their reception by readers and critics.

Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism
Edited by Robin Truth Goodman, Florida State University, USA Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism traces Adorno’s social and aesthetic ideas as they appear and reappear in his corpus. As per other volumes in the series, this book is divided into three parts. The first, “Adorno’s Keywords,” is organized by the aesthetic terms around which Adorno’s philosophy circulates. The second section is devoted to “Adorno and Aesthetics.” While Adorno’s philosophical viewpoints influenced modernism’s evolution into the twenty-first century, the history of modernist aesthetics also shaped his philosophical approaches. The third and final part, “Adorno’s Constellations,” discusses how aesthetic form in Adorno’s thinking underlies the terms of his social analysis.

Samuel Beckett in Confinement The Politics of Closed Space
James Little, Masaryk University, Czech Republic Prisons appear again and again in Samuel Beckett’s work – from the literal asylum central to Watt to the metaphors of confinement that appear throughout the prose and dramatic works such as Waiting for Godot. Drawing on spatial theory and new archival research, Samuel Beckett in Confinement explores these recurring ideas of confinement to cast new light on the ethical and political dimensions of Beckett’s work. Covering the full range of Beckett’s writing, the book shows how this engagement with the ethics of representing prisons and asylums stands at the heart of his poetics.

The Politics of 1930s British Literature Education, Class, Gender
Natasha Periyan, Falmouth University, UK Drawing on a rich array of archival sources and historical detail, The Politics of 1930s British Literature tells the story of a school-minded decade and illuminates new readings of the politics and aesthetics of 1930s literature. In a period of shifting political claims, educational policy shaped writers’ social and gender ideals. This book explores how a wide array of writers including Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, George Orwell, Winifred Holtby and Graham Greene were informed by their pedagogic work. It considers the ways in which education influenced writers’ analysis of literary style and their conception of future literary forms.

Understanding Blanchot, Understanding Modernism
Edited by Christopher Langlois, Concordia University, Canada "Goes a good deal further than a reassessment of Blanchot's work in the context of what we might call modernism (since the term itself resonates by its very absence within Blanchot's oeuvre): as we put this book down we are reminded that Blanchot's work represents one of the profoundest meditations of the 20th century, but one which has nonetheless brought us closer to an understanding of the infinite and timeless power of literature itself."

Elsa Högberg, University of Uppsala, Sweden
Virginia Woolf and the Ethics of Intimacy explores the politics and ethics of Woolf's psychologically intimate literary method. The book reveals how the notions of intimacy central to Woolf's interwar novels - Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and The Waves - inform her political and ethical stances against violence, patriotism and war. Drawing on contemporary theory, including the works of Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, Elsa Högberg casts new light on the politics of modernism's aesthetic commitments.

Modernist Crisis and the Pedagogy of Form
Woolf, Delany, and Coetzee at the Limits of Fiction Matthew Cheney, Plymouth State University, USA What is the role of the author in times of crisis? Modernist Crisis and the Pedagogy of Form examines how Virginia Woolf, Samuel R. Delany, and J. M. Coetzee developed literary strategies in common to cope with crisis periods they were anticipating, living through, or looking back on. Matthew Cheney outlines how the three writers shaped their art to create an author/ audience relationship congruent with the goals of critical pedagogy espoused by such thinkers as Paulo Freire and bell hooks. Seeking to stimulate ethical thought, Woolf, Delany, and Coetzee required their readers to be active interpreters of their texts’ forms, contents, and contexts.

The Fictional Minds of Modernism
Narrative Cognition from Henry James to Christopher Isherwood Edited by Ricardo Miguel-Alfonso, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Challenging the notion that modernism is marked by an “inward turn,” this collection delineates the relationship between the mind and material and social systems, refreshing our understanding of modernism’s representation of cognitive and affective processes. Through analysis of a variety of international novels, short stories, and films—all published roughly between 1890 and 1945—the contributors to this collection demonstrate how modernist narratives offer insights into the real, historical world not as a mere object of contemplation but as an object of knowledge, thus bridging the gap between classical narratology and modernist experimentation.
Material Spirituality in Modernist Women’s Writing Elizabeth Anderson, University of Glasgow, UK
For Virginia Woolf, H.D., Mary Butts and Gwendolyn Brooks, things mobilise creativity; traverse domestic, public and rural spaces; and stage the interaction between the sublime and the mundane. Ordinary things are rendered extraordinary by their spiritual or emotional significance. This book addresses the intersection of spirituality, things and places – both natural and built environments – in the work of these four women modernists.

Ecocritical Pedagogy and Poetics
Environmental and nature writing is an increasingly popular topic in the creative writing classroom. The first comprehensive study of teaching practice in this field, Teaching Environmental Writing critically reflects on how students are taught to write about the natural world. The book draws on interviews with teachers and students to bring insights from the classroom into conversation with close readings of contemporary environmental poetry informed by the latest developments in ecocriticism. From this conversation, Isabel Galleymore proposes a set of pedagogical exercises to expand the scope of nature writing education and help student writers engage more deeply with their environments.

Ecospectrality
Haunting and Environmental Justice in Contemporary Anglophone Novels Laura A. White, Middle Tennessee State University, USA Along with humans and animals, ghosts populate the pages of contemporary Anglophone novels. Ecospectrality analyses novels from across the world—including Australia, Nigeria, South Africa, India and Jamaica—to explore how these ghosts can help readers to perceive difficult to visualise environmental threats and access marginalised environmental knowledges. Instead of prompting fear, these hauntings foster understanding across species and generations to enable inclusive formulations of environmental justice. Drawing on the latest work in postcolonial ecocriticism, hauntology and environmental philosophy, this book is an essential read for anyone working in the environmental humanities today.

New insights from cognitive theory and literary ecocriticism have the power to transform our understanding of one of the most important literary genres: the lyric poem. In Cognitive Ecopoetics, Sharon Lattig brings these two schools of criticism together for the first time to consider the ways in which lyric forms reenact cognitive processes of the mind and brain. Along the way the book reads anew the long history of the lyric, from Andrew Marvell, through canonical poets such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Dickinson to contemporary writers such as Susan Howe and Charles Olson.

Jemma Deer, Harvard University, USA

Reading for the End of the World The reckoning of climate change calls for us to fundamentally re-think our notions of an anthropocentric world. Drawing on a wide range of modern writers and thinkers – from Freud and Darwin to Frazer and Derrida, from Shakespeare to Kafka, Woolf and Lispector – Radical Animism develops a new theory of life for our era of environmental crisis. In this important new work, Jemma Deer explores how the ‘animism’ of literature, literature’s capacity to exert a compelling and transformative life of its own on its readers can open our thinking to the power of the non-human world on our existence.

Reclaiming Romanticism
Graham Huggan, University of Leeds, UK
Kate Rigby, Monash University, Australia
The Cetacean Quartet
Towards an Ecopoetics of Decolonisation
Written by leading postcolonial critic Graham Huggan, Colonialism, Culture, Whales: The Cetacean Quartet explores how our attitudes to whales, whale-hunting and whale-watching expose colonial attitudes to the natural world in modern culture. Across four innovative, multi-disciplinary chapters, the book explores colonial histories of whaling, their legacies in contemporary tourism from whale-watching excursions to the performing orcas at SeaWorld, and cultural representations of anxieties of extinction in literature, film and television. Examining the relationship between colonialism and modernity, the book goes on to seek alternative paradigms for understanding the whale in native and aboriginal thought.
The earliest environmental criticism took its inspiration from the Romantic poets and their immersion in the natural world. Today the “romanticising” of nature has come to be viewed with suspicion. Written by one of the leading ecocritics writing today, Reclaiming Romanticism rediscovers the importance of the European Romantic tradition to the ways that writers and critics engage with the environment in the Anthropocene era. Exploring the work of such poets as Wordsworth, Shelley and Clare, the book discovers a rich vein of Romantic eco-materialism and brings these writers into dialogue with contemporary American and Australian poets and artists.

Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives
Edited by Olaf Berwald, Chair, Department of Foreign Languages, and Professor of German, Kennesaw State University, USA, Stephen D. Dowden, Professor of German Literature, Brandeis University, USA & Gregor Thuswaldner, Dean of Arts of Sciences and Professor of Humanities, North Park University, USA In his prose fiction, memoirs, poetry, and drama, Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989)—one of the twentieth century’s most uniquely gifted writers—created a new and radical style. His furious prose, seemingly shapeless but composed with unparalleled musicality, and taxing by conventional standards, has been echoed in many writers since Bernhard’s death in 1989. These explorers have found in Bernhard’s singular accomplishment new paths for the expression of life and truth. Writers in Italian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, English, and French have succeeded in making Bernhard’s Austrian vision an international vision. Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives tells that story.

Sissi’s World
The Empress Elisabeth in Memory and Myth Edited by Maura E. Hametz, Old Dominion University, USA & Heidi Schlipphacke, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Sissi’s World offers a transdisciplinary approach to the study of the Habsburg Empress Elizabeth of Austria, a Bavarian duchess born in 1837, the longest-serving Austrian empress, and the queen of Hungary who died in 1898 at the hands of a crazed anarchist. Despite the continuing fascination with "the beloved Sissi," the Habsburg empress, her impact, and legacy have received scant attention from scholars. This collection goes beyond the popular biographical accounts, recountings of her mythic beauty, and scattered studies of her well-known eccentricities to offer transdisciplinary cultural perspectives across art, film, fashion, history, literature, and media.

Romantic Enchantment Fantasy, Theology and Affect Gavin Hopps
From Flannery O’Connor and James Baldwin to the post-9/11 writings of Jonathan Franzen and Don DeLillo, imaginative writers have often been the most insightful chroniclers of the USA’s changing religious life since the end of World War 2. Exploring a wide range of writers from Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and secular writers, this book is an in-depth study of contemporary fiction’s engagement with religious faith, identity and practice. By reading the major writers of our time, Mark Eaton discovers a more nuanced picture of the varieties of American religious experience than commonplace cultural ideas of progressive secularisation or faith-based polarization might suggest.
Despite the burgeoning popularity of fantasy fiction and the increasing recognition of its spiritual significance and subversive effects, criticism of Romantic literature has often dismissed elements of the fantastic in the work of such canonical writers as Byron and Keats as matters of escapism, false-consciousness or wish-fulfilment. In Romantic Enchantment, Gavin Hopps challenges this view and offers an alternative 'post-nihilistic' reading of the fantastic gestures and transcendent aspirations of Romantic poetry. Drawing on the seminal reflections of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien on fantasy, this interdisciplinary study provides a provocative riposte to materialist interpretations of Romantic writing.

Truth, Meaning, Fiction
In this full-career reassessment of J. M. Coetzee, Anthony Uhlmann illuminates the intellectual and philosophical interests that drive Coetzee’s writing. Whilst looking at Coetzee’s writing career, from his dissertation through to The Schooldays of Jesus (2016), Uhlmann also offers revealing glimpses, informed by archival research, of Coetzee’s writing process. Among the main themes that Uhlmann draws out from Coetzee’s writing, and which remain highly relevant today, are the ideas that there is truth in fiction, or that fiction can provide valuable understandings of real world problems, and there are also fictions of the truth: that we are surrounded, in our everyday lives, by stories we wish to believe are true.

Afropolitan Literature as World Literature Edited by James Hodapp, Northwestern University, Qatar
What is the new, Afropolitan vision of Africa’s place in the world offered by African writers of the 21st century? How does it differ from that of previous generations? Why do some dissent? Afropolitanism refuses to reinforce images of Africa in world media as merely poor, war-torn, diseased, and constantly falling into chaos. Complicating the image of Africa as a hapless victim, Afropolitanism focuses on the wide-ranging influence Africa has on the world. However, some have characterized this kind of writing as light, populist fare that panders to Western audiences. Afropolitan Literature as World Literature examines this controversy in light of the unprecedented circulation of culture made possible by globalization.

Beyond the Haunted House
Shirley Jackson and Domesticity takes on American horror writer Shirley Jackson's domestic narratives— those fictionalized in her novels and short stories as well as the ones captured in her memoirs—to explore the extraordinary and often supernatural ways domestic practices and the ecology of the home influence Jackson’s storytelling. Examining various areas of homemaking—child-rearing and reproduction, housekeeping, architecture and spatiality, the housewife mythos— through the theoretical frameworks of gothic, queer, gender, supernatural, humor, and architectural studies, this collection contextualizes Jackson’s archive in a Cold War framework and assesses the impact of the work of a writer seeking to question the status quo of her time and culture.

Stowe, Hawthorne, and Melville The Logic of Sentiment is a study of sentimentality, a literary mode that aims to answer the question, “What holds us together?” Against the grain of cultural studies, which understands sentimentality as consolidating communities on the basis of material or historical foundations, Kenneth Dauber takes a philosophical approach. He argues that sentimentality is a mode of love conceptualized in the denial of skepticism, understood as a problem of people’s otherness to each other. The Logic of Sentiment traces the movement from sentimentality to realism, the relation between epistemology and ethics, and the kind of investments that writers attempt to solicit from their readers.

The Ruins of Urban Modernity Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day
Utku Mogultay, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany "Rises to the challenge presented by Pynchon’s spatial imaginary, making a brilliant case for reading Against the Day as an urban novel offering vital insights into the contradictory geographies of modernity." Hsuan L. Hsu, University of California, Davis, USA The Ruins of Urban Modernity examines Thomas Pynchon's 2006 novel Against the Day through the critical lens of urban spatiality. As the complex novel collapses and rebuilds anew the spatial imaginaries underlying the popular fictions of urban modernity, Utku Mogultay explores how such creative disfiguration throws light on the contemporary urban world.

The Literature of Catastrophe
Rebecca Tillett, University of East Anglia, UK
Carlos Fonseca, Cambridge University, UK
Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead Leslie Marmon Silko's 1991 novel Almanac of the Dead is a profound and challenging analysis of late capitalist society and how powerful minority elites ensure that their power is never challenged nor shared, through the complicit discourses of imperialism, patriarchy, religion, medicine, science and technology. Rebecca Tillett assesses the continued relevance of Almanac's vision of oppressive capitalism. Perhaps most importantly, this study provides a groundbreaking reading of Almanac for the 21st century, comparing Silko's activist armies with international popular social justice activism such as the Arab Spring and the international Occupy movement.

Prison Writing of Latin America Joey Whitfield, Cardiff University, UK
"Offers both a theoretical reflection around notions of penality and a specific study of literary and artistic representations of prison culture in a modern Latin-American context.

War, Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson is a timely critique situated within the historical and theoretical contexts so fundamental to understanding Jameson's work. Presenting previously unpublished archival material that documents her work as an ambassador for British writers during a time of national upheaval, Katherine Cooper reveals how the novelist’s pacifism and evolving attitudes to war and peace were underpinned by her overarching vision for the post-war world. Drawing comparisons to the works of Virginia Woolf, Graham Green and others, this study shows how Jameson’s novels reshape how we view the literary history of the period.

Does the Internet Have an Unconscious? Slavoj Žižek and Digital Culture
Clint Burnham, Simon Fraser University, Canada "Clint Burnham does not merely apply psychoanalysis to the internet; he demonstrates how the unconscious itself is 'structured like the internet,' how our entanglement in the impenetrable digital web allows us to understand properly the way the unconscious overdetermines our thinking and activities. This is why Burnham’s path-breaking book reaches much deeper than the usual analyses of the social and psychological implications of the internet: it does not just socialize and historicise the internet, it throws a new light on the unconscious itself."

This new biography brings her work to a broader readership by connecting Kristeva’s personal journey with the history of her ideas. Informed by interviews with Kristeva, it clearly analyzes the complexities of Kristeva’s contributions, with emphasis on her call for an urgent revival of bold interdisciplinary thinking in order to understand and act in our own time.

Emma Lieber, National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, USA The Writing Cure tells four interlocking stories about author Emma Lieber: her time as a scholar of Russian literature; her decade-long analysis; her becoming a psychoanalyst; and the end of her marriage. It does so by tracing dreams, scenes, and signifiers that emerged from her analysis while also undertaking a critical exploration of works of psychoanalytic theory and literary texts. Most centrally, it articulates what psychoanalysis does for its patients by writing the moment of its termination—at the same time as it examines both the end of a marriage and the passage from a literary scholar to a psychoanalyst.

Posing Sex
Jacob Bittner, Independent Scholar, Denmark

An Archaeology of Modern Literary Theory
The Emergence of Literature is an extension and reworking of a series of significant propositions in philosophy and literary theory: Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe’s examination of the concept of the literary absolute, Martin Heidegger’s destruction and Giorgio Agamben’s archaeology of the metaphysics of will, Maurice Blanchot’s delimitation of the space of literature and Michel Foucault’s archaeology of literature. Its core contribution to the history of theory is to understand the literary absolute not simply as philosophical concept, but as a paradigm that delimits the horizon for currents of literary theory through the course of the 20th century where the literary criteria change from the theme of sincerity to the theme of the death of the author.

Affect, Psychoanalysis, and American Poetry This Feeling of Exaltation

From modernists to mid-century poets, and finally to contemporary practitioners, John Steen argues that new poetic techniques arise from the poetic productivity of negative affects, and that a new model of poetic value can be found in poems that are permeable, social spaces of intimacy, attachment, and withdrawal.

Along the way Mooney explores mediations on wilderness, on the enigma of self-deception, the role of maternal love and the pain of separations, and the pervasiveness of “difficult reality” where valuable things are presented to us under two (or more) aspects at once.

Toward a Perceptual Ethics for Literary and Visual Art "This risk-taking, fearless book is a continually rewarding act of looking and feeling and thinking, insisting on their intimacy but also enacting it on the page, where Singer's intellectual reach and analytical rigor produce an abundance of arresting perceptions of sensuous aesthetic experience." Ross Posnock, Columbia University, USA Posing Sex views the long and provocative tradition of representing the sexual act in Western art as an occasion for challenging assumptions about personhood. Singer draws upon a rich philosophical tradition—from the Greek Stoics, Descartes, Spinoza, and Hegel to contemporary theorists—to show how the stakes of aesthetic experience epitomized in the sex-image are essentially ethical.

Synaesthetics
Art as Synaesthesia Paul Gordon, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA Paul Gordon proposes a new theory of art as synaesthetic and applies this idea to various media, including works—such as movies, illustrated books and song lyrics—that explicitly cross over into media involving the different senses. The idea of art as synaesthetic is not, however, limited to those “cross-over” works because even an individual poem or novel or painting calls upon different senses in creating its syn-aesthetic “meaning.” Although previous studies have often devolved into those who see an obvious connection between art and synesthesia and those who adamantly reject such a notion, Synaesthetics furthers our understanding of synesthesia as an important, if not essential, component of artistic expression.

Deteriorations of the Event During some of the most demanding years of the twentieth century two distinctive bodies of work sought to respond to this problem: the writings of Maurice Blanchot and American film noir. Understanding how this darkness became the means of responding to the darkness of the times is the focus of Noir and Blanchot, which examines key films from the period (including Double Indemnity and Vertigo) alongside Blanchot’s writings (particularly his 1948 narrative Death Sentence). What emerges from this investigation is the complex manner in which these works disrupt the experience of time and the event and in doing so expose an entirely different mode of material expression.

The trajectory in between illustrates that the detective and mystery genres continue unabated their stock yellowface characters, who exude a magnetic field so powerful as to pull in Japanese anime.

The Metamorphoses of Myth in Fiction since 1960 Kathryn Hume, Penn State University, USA
Why do contemporary writers use myths from ancient Greece and Rome, Pharaonic Egypt, the Viking north, Africa’s west coast, and Hebrew and Christian traditions? What do these stories from premodern cultures have to offer us? The Metamorphoses of Myth in Fiction since 1960 examines how myth has shaped writings by Acker, Atwood, Burroughs, Byatt, Gaiman, Hoban, Mailer, Morrison, Reed, Powers, Pynchon, Vonnegut, and Winterson, among others, and contrasts such canonical texts with fantasy, speculative fiction, post-singularity fiction, pornography, horror, and graphic narratives. Working across genres, populations, and critical perspectives, Kathryn Hume elicits an understanding of the current uses of mythology in fiction.

Framing Literary Humour
Cells, Masks and Bodies as 20th-Century Sites of Imprisonment Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard, University of Ottawa, Canada Contrary to their oppressive design, could structures of imprisonment actually incite humour, itself a form of liberation? Starting with the most obvious areas of imprisonment (war camps, prison cells) and moving to the less obvious (masks, bodies), Framing Literary Humour demonstrates how 20th-century humour in theory and in fiction cannot be fully understood without a careful look at its connection with the notion of imprisonment. Understanding imprisonment as a concrete spatial setting or a metaphorical image, Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard analyzes selected works of Romain Gary, Giovannino Guareschi, Wyndham Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov, and Luigi Pirandello to reconfigure confinement as an essential structural condition for the emergence of humour.

The Romantic Historicism to Come
Jonathan Crimmins, University of Virginia’s College at Wise, USA Focusing attention on Romantic conceptions of history’s connection to the future, The Romantic Historicism to Come examines the complications of not only Romantic historicism, but also our own contemporary critical methods: what would it mean if the causal assumptions that underpin our historical judgments do not themselves develop in a stable, notional, progressive manner? Steering a middle course between historical teleology and random disconnection, Jonathan Crimmins creates a theoretical apparatus that can account for the mutual interaction of the scientific and the sociocultural without collapsing one into the other.

Six Plays
Eugene Ionesco
Six Characters in Search of an Author, Henry IV, Caps and Bells, Right You Are (if You Think You Are), The Jar, The Patent
Translated by Donald Watson & Derek Prouse
Luigi Pirandello
This collection brings together the four plays that feature Ionesco’s everyman protagonist Jean Bérenger. While each play in the Bérenger cycle is unique, they are all prime examples of Ionesco’s conception of the theatre of the absurd, and touch on themes that preoccupied Ionesco throughout his career, such as mortality, alienation, freedom and the evils of Fascism. This volume constitutes a perfect introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most original and influential playwrights.

Translated by Felicity Firth, Robert Rietty, John Wardle, Bruce Penman & Carlo Ardito This selection of plays by Luigi Pirandello contains some of his best-known works, such as Six Characters in Search of an Author and Henry IV. Preoccupied with the nature of truth and delusion, and treading dangerously on the borderline between sanity and madness, Pirandello’s plays are a daring exploration of human actions and the dark motives lying behind them, and the culmination of the naturalistic school of theatre inaugurated by authors such as Ibsen and Chekhov.

Eclipse – Concrete Poems Alan Riddell
In this volume of typographical poems, or “concrete poems”, Alan Riddell weaves words and the very letters they’re made of into shapes and patterns that heighten or, in some cases, completely undermine the professed message of the poems. When Eclipse was first published in 1972, concrete poetry was still a relatively new art form, and this book was the first substantial one-man collection to be published in Britain. Now, almost fifty years since its inception, this volume provides a unique perspective on the cutting-edge technique.

Politics and Literature Jean-Paul Sartre
L I T E R A R Y S T U D I E S – Calder Publications
The Bérenger Plays
First published in French magazines in the 1960s, the essays and interviews collected in this volume tackle two of Sartre’s most enduring concerns as a philosopher: politics and literature. With regard to the former, they develop the notion of the intellectual not only as an aloof theoretician, but also as a constructive agent of change. His writings on literature explore the limitations of language as an exact vehicle for meaning, the author’s lack of ownership of his own words and the avenues that certain types of theatre such as Artaud’s open for non-verbal communication.

Europe after the Rain Alan Burns
Alan Burns has been described by a character in Ian McEwan's novel 'Sweet Tooth' as by far the best experimentalist in this country. He was associated with the 1960s British experimental circle of writers led by B.S. Johnson. Europe after the Rain takes its title from Max Ernst’s surrealist work, which depicts a vision of rampant destruction – a theme which Burns here takes to its conclusion, showing man not merely trying to come to terms with desolation, but combating human cruelty with that resilience of spirit without which survival would be impossible. Upon the novel’s first publication, Burns was heralded as presenting a picture of his age and capturing the ‘collective unconscious’ of the twentieth century – in a language that can have few rivals for economy, beauty and rhythm.

Creative Radicalism in the Middle East
Media, Public Space and Temporality
Caroline Rooney, University of Kent, UK
Edited by Tarik Sabry & Joe F. Khalil
In the face of oppression and years of authoritarian and neoliberal ideology, how did the left assert itself during the Arab Uprisings? Caroline Rooney here outlines the importance of aesthetic strategies and creative expression in the left’s critique of authoritarian and Islamic extremist discourse during the revolutions.
In this revealing new study, Tarik Sabry and Joe Khalil preside over an original new exploration of Arab culture. They employ subjects as varied as anthropology, media studies, philosophy, political economy and cultural studies to illuminate the relationship between culture, time and publics in an Arab context, whilst also laying the foundations for a much more nuanced picture of Arab society. Providing a grounded orientation to key debates on time and what can be defined as public in modern Arab cultures, Sabry and Khalil address teachers, students and those concerned about the delicate structures that underpin the upheavals of the modern Arab world.

Beirut, Imagining the City
Space and Place in Lebanese Literature Ghenwa Hayek, University of Chicago, USA Ghenwa Hayek here explores how anxieties over the past, present and future of Beirut have been articulated through a sense of dislocation present in Lebanese writing since the 1960s. Drawing on theories of cultural studies, geography and history, and examining a wide range of modern and contemporary literature, the author uses an interdisciplinary framework to explore the role that spaces - from rural to urban - have played in the defining, and re-defining, of national identity in the seventy years since the creation of the Lebanese nation state.

Shi'i Islam and Sufism
Classical Views and Modern Perspectives Edited by Denis Hermann & Mathieu Terrier Offering new perspectives on the relationship between Shi'is and Sufis in modern and pre-modern times, this book challenges the supposed opposition between these two esoteric traditions in Islam by exploring what could be called "Shi'i Sufism" and "Sufi-oriented Shi'ism" at various points in history. With contributions from leading scholars in Shi'ism and Sufism Studies, the book is the first to reveal the mutual influences and connections between Shi'ism and Sufism, which until now have been little explored.

Intellectual Interactions in the Islamic World The Ismaili Thread
Edited by Orkhan Mir-Kasimov, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK How has the Ismaili branch of Shi‘i Islam interacted with other Islamic communities throughout history? While scholarship has analysed many branches of Islam in isolation, the exchanges and mutual influences between them have not been sufficiently recognised. This book traces the interactions between Ismaili intellectual thought and the philosophies of other Islamic groups to shed light on the complex and interwoven nature of Islamic civilisation. Based on primary sources from the early medieval to the late nineteenth century, the book brings together different disciplines within Islamic Studies to cover polemical and doctrinal literature, law, mysticism, rituals and philosophy.

The Master and the Disciple An Early Islamic Spiritual Dialogue Edited by James W. Morris This volume includes a fully annotated translation and Arabic critical edition of one of the earliest surviving Ismaili Shi'i writings, by the Yemeni author Ja'far Ibn Mansur al-Yaman. In addition to being a key source for pre-Fatimid Ismaili history, The Master and the Disciple is important as the most elaborate example of the narrated dramatic dialogue form in Arabic. It also illustrates the processes by which early esoteric Shi'i ideas and institutions eventually contributed to the evolution of more familiar forms of Sufism in the Islamic West.

Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam Bilateral Descent and the Legacy of Fatima
Alyssa Gabbay, University of North California, USA Through the lens of Fatima, and drawing on a host of texts including Qur’an commentaries, hadith, historical chronicles, court records and poetry taken from India to Morocco, and everywhere in between, Alyssa Gabbay here reconsiders various episodes from the medieval Islamic world in which individuals or societies acknowledged bilateral descent. In the process, Gabbay sheds important light onto gender roles in the pre-modern world and beliefs and practices on lineage and bilateral descent, as well as considering Fatima as a ‘feminist icon’ and her resounding (and long-lasting) influence throughout the medieval Islamic world more generally.

Cross Veneration in the Medieval Islamic World
Christian Identity and Practice under Muslim Rule Charles Tieszen, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA How and why did medieval Eastern Christian communities continue to venerate crosses in the face of confusion and hostility in Islamic majority lands? Charles Tieszen here looks at every known apologetic or polemical text written between the eighth and fourteenth centuries, with sources taken from across the Mediterranean basin, Egypt, Syria and Palestine, to examine this key theological debate, which lay at the heart of these communities' religious identities. Considering the perspectives of both Muslim and Christian authors, the book also raises important questions concerning cross-cultural debate and exchange, and the development of Christianity and Islam in the medieval period.

Arab Conquests and Early Islamic Historiography
The Futuh al-Buldan of al-Baladhuri Ryan J. Lynch, Columbus State University, USA Al-Baladhuri’s Kitab Futuh al-buldan (The Book of the Conquest of Lands) is one of the most important sources on 7th and 8th century Islamic history. Questions over the text’s construction, purpose, and reception, however, have been overlooked in current scholarship. This is despite the text’s important historical material and its early date of creation. It is commonplace for researchers to turn to the Futuh for information on a specific location or topic, but to ignore questions over the text’s creation and limitation. This book corrects these gaps in knowledge by investigating the form, construction, content, and early reception history of al-Baladhuri’s text.

A Tenth-Century Treatise on ArabByzantine Relations Maria Vaiou
Arab messengers played a vital role in the medieval Islamic world and its diplomatic relations with foreign powers. An innovative treatise from the 10th Century - 'Rusul al-Muluk' or 'Messengers of Kings' - is perhaps the most important account of the diplomacy of the period, and it is here translated into English for the first time. 'Rusul al-Muluk' is an extraordinarily important and original contribution to our understanding of the early Islamic world and the field of International Relations and Diplomatic History.

Islamism and Intelligence in South Asia Militancy, Politics and Security
Prem Mahadevan, Center for Security Studies, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Prem Mahadevan demonstrates here how over several decades, radical Islamists, sometimes with the tacit support of parts of the military establishment, have weakened democratic governance in Pakistan and acquired progressively larger influence over policy-making. Mahadevan traces this history back to the anti-colonial Deobandi movement, which was born out of the post-partition political atmosphere and a rediscovery of the thinking of Ibn Taymiyyah. Using Pakistani media and academic sources for the bulk of its raw data, the book tracks Pakistan's trajectory towards a 'soft' Islamic revolution.

Writing Queer Identities in Morocco
Abdellah Taïa and Marginal Sexualities in Moroccan Literature Tina Dransfeldt Christensen, Roskilde University, Denmark This book explores queer identity in Morocco through the work of author and LGBT activist Abdellah Taïa, who defied the country’s anti-homosexuality laws by publicly coming out in 2006. Placing key novels such as Salvation Army and Infidels in dialogue with Moroccan writers including Driss Chraïbi and Abdelkebir Khatibi, the author shows how Taïa draws upon a long tradition of politically committed art in Morocco to subvert traditional notions of heteronormativity. By foregrounding silenced or otherwise marginalised voices, she shows how his writings offer a powerful critique of discourses of class, authenticity, culture and nationality in Morocco and North Africa.

Belgium has an elaborate legal system for protecting the rights of LGBT individuals, particularly LGBT asylum seekers. But it has been criticized for its 'homonationalism' where some queer subjects - such as ethnic, racial and religious minorities - are excluded from the dominant discourse on LGBT rights. This book foregrounds the lived experiences of queer Muslims who migrated to Belgium because of their sexuality and queer Muslims who are the children of economic migrants. Based on extensive fieldwork, Wim Peumans examines how these Muslims negotiate silence and disclosure around their sexuality and interpret their religious beliefs.

Edited by Sussan Babaie
This new volume in “The Idea of Iran” series follows the complexities surrounding the cultural reinvention of Iran after the Mongol invasions. The book is unique in capturing not only the effects of Mongol rule but also the period following the collapse of Mongol-based Ilkhanid rule. Analysing the fourteenth century in its own right, Sussan Babaie and her fellow contributors capture the cultural complexity of an era that produced some of the most luminous masterpieces in Persian literature and the most significant new building work in Tabriz, Yazd, Herat and Shiraz. Featuring contributions by leading scholars, this is a wide-ranging treatment of an under-researched period and the volume will be essential reading for scholars of Iranian Studies and Middle Eastern History.
The Timurid Century The Idea of Iran Vol.9

The Jews of Iran
The History, Religion and Culture of a Community in the Islamic World Edited by Houman M. Sarshar, Center for Iranian Jewish Oral History, USA Living continuously in Iran for over 2700 years, Jews have played an integral role in the history of the country. This book examines the ancient texts, objects and art from a wide range of times and places throughout Iranian history, as well as the medieval trade routes along which these would have travelled, to understand the material and visual culture of this community. The book also explores modern novels and the implications of fictional representations of the Jews of Iran. Providing a long view of the Jewish cultural influence on Iran's development, this book is a unique contribution to Judeo-Iranian studies.

Persia in Crisis
Safavid Decline and the Fall of Isfahan Rudi Matthee, University of Delaware, USA The decline and fall of Safavid Iran is traditionally seen as the natural outcome of the unrelieved political stagnation and moral degeneration which characterised late Safavid Iran. Persia in Crisis challenges this view. In this ground-breaking new book, Rudi Matthee revisits traditional sources and introduces new ones to take a fresh look at Safavid Iran in the century preceding the fall of Isfahan in 1722, which brought down the dynasty and ushered in a long period of turbulence in Iranian history.

Attar and the Persian Sufi Tradition
Iran and the West
L. Lewisohn & C. Shackle
Edited by Margaux Whiskin, University of Warwick, UK & David Bagot, Newcastle-underLyme College, UK
The Art of Spiritual Flight
Edited by L. Lewisohn & C. Shackle Farid al-Din 'Attar (d. 1221) was the principal Muslim religious poet of the second half of the twelfth century. His pithy and paradoxical poems and statements are still known by heart and sung by minstrels throughout Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and wherever Persian is spoken or understood. The essays in the volume are grouped in three sections, and feature contributions by sixteen scholars from North America, Europe and Iran, which illustrate, from a variety of critical prespectives, the full range of 'Attar's monumental achievement. They show how and why 'Attar's poetical work, as well as his mystical doctrines, came to wield such tremendous and formative influence over the whole of Persian Sufism.

Cultural Perceptions from the Sasanian Empire to the Islamic Republic
Since the age of the Sasanian Empire (224-651 AD), Iran and the West have time and again appeared to be at odds. Iran and the West charts this contentious and complex relationship by examining the myriad ways the two have perceived each other, from antiquity to today. Contributors consider literary, imagined, mythical, visual, filmic, political and historical representations of the 'other' and the ways in which these have been constructed in, and often in spite of, their specific historical contexts.

International and Regional Engagement in the Middle East Marianna Charountaki The foreign policies of Turkey and Iran seem increasingly to dictate the course of events in the Middle East. In this book, Marianna Charountaki examines these states' politics and policies since 1979. Using material gathered from interviews with leading political figures from Turkey, Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the book examines the impact of both external and internal factors on foreign policy and how the interaction between state and non-state actors informs political decisions. Charountaki places these issues in a theoretical framework to pioneer a new conceptual map within International Relations.

The British in the Levant
Trade and Perceptions of the Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century Christine Laidlaw For more than two centuries following its formation in 1581, the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court. Rather than focusing on 'the Turkey trade' itself, Christine Laidlaw examines the supporting cast of Britons - officials, clergymen, physicians and accompanying family members - who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts at Istanbul, Izmir and Aleppo during the eighteenth century. This unique perspective will be invaluable for historians of the eighteenth century and the Ottoman Empire.

Empire and Education under the Ottomans
Gender Politics in Turkey and Russia
Emine O. Evered, Michigan State University, USA
Both Turkey and Russia were pioneering examples of “state feminism” in the early 20th Century, when the Republican and Bolshevik states embraced the ideology of women’s equality. But more recently sexism in these countries has dramatically intensified. This book explores the historical and contemporary parallels between Turkey and Russia, and how the state perpetuates and benefits from the subjugation of women. The research is based on analysis of legal documents, statistical data and reports, as well as in-depth interviews with experts, activists and public officials.
Politics, Reform and Resistance from the Tanzimat to the Young Turks
Of all the institutions of the Ottoman Empire, few have had more lasting impact than its schools and educational policies. Through a focus on the regional impact of decrees from Istanbul, Emine O. Evered here demonstrates how educational changes devised as part of wider reforms to strengthen the Empire in fact hastened its demise. This book is the first history of education in the Ottoman Middle East to evaluate policies in the context of local responses and resistance, and includes the first published English translation of the watershed 1869 Ottoman Education Law.

The 'People's Houses', the State and the Citizen Alexandros Lamprou From 1924 to 1946 the Republic of Turkey was in effect ruled as an authoritarian single-party regime. During these years the state embarked upon an extensive reform programme of modernisation and nation-building. Alexandros Lamprou here offers an alternative understanding of social change and state-society relations in Turkey, shifting the focus from the state as the prime instigator of change to the population's participation in the process of reform. Using previously unpublished archival material, Lamprou analyses how ordinary people experienced, negotiated and resisted the reforms in the 1930s and 1940s and how this process contributed to the shaping of social identities. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of nation-building, sociocultural change and state-society relations in modern Turkey.

The Struggle for Modern Turkey Justice, Activism and a Revolutionary Female Journalist Sabiha Sertel Edited by Tia O'Brien & Nur Deris Translated by David Selim Sayers & Evrim EmirSayers Sabiha Sertel was born into revolution in 1895 as an independent Turkey rose out of the dying Ottoman Empire. The nation’s first professional female journalist, her unrelenting push for democracy and social reforms ultimately cost Sertel her country and freedom. Shortly before her death in 1968, Sertel completed her autobiography Roman Gibi (Like a Novel), which was written during her forced exile in the Soviet Union. Translated here into English for the first time, and complete with a new introduction and comprehensive annotations, it offers a rare perspective on Turkey’s history as it moved to embrace democracy, then violently recoiled.

Turkey
An Economic Geography Aksel Ersoy, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Turkey's economy is a complex mix of modern industry, a traditional agricultural sector, and a rapidly growing private sector. To date, many of the policy interventions adopted have been based on models drawn from developed economies and the outcome has raised a number of concerns. Are policy interventions drawn from advanced economies appropriate for transitional economies such as Turkey? Aksel Ersoy's book is the first work to explore the dynamics of local and regional development in Turkey. In addition, he offers a new theoretical framework for understanding the local and regional dynamics of emerging and transitional economies more generally.

The Foreign Policy of Modern Turkey
Conspiracy Theory in Turkey

Power and the Ideology of Eurasianism
M I D D L E E A S T S T U D I E S / I . B . T A U R I S – Turkey and the Ottoman Empire
Nation-Building in Modern Turkey
Politics and Protest in the Age of 'PostTruth'
Ozgur Tufekci argues that Eurasianist ideology has been fundamental to Turkish foreign policy and continues to have influence today. The author first explores the historical roots of Eurasianism in the 19th century, comparing this to Neo-Eurasianism and Pan-Slavism. The Ozal era (1983-1993), the Cem era (1997-2002) and Davutoglu era (since 2003) are then examined to reveal how foreign policy making has been informed by discourses of Eurasianism, and how Eurasianist ideas were implemented through internal and external socio-economic and political factors.
Turkey is witnessing an era of political upheaval. Julian de Medeiros here analyses the many unfolding challenges of Erdogan's New Turkey, and shows how a fixedly Turkish-style of 'posttruth' has taken root. Examining the relationship between conspiracy theory and 'post-truth', this book sheds light on the strategies of political paranoia that threaten to undermine the success of Turkey's democratic model. De Medeiros argues that both the Gezi protests and the failed coup attempt need to be considered alongside the emerging anti-democratic and conspiratorial tendencies of an increasingly authoritarian Turkish government.

Libya's Fragmentation
Structure and Process in Violent Conflict Wolfram Lacher, German Institute for International and Security Affairs, Germany
Gender, Politics and the Sahrawi
Konstantina Isidoros, University of Oxford, UK
This book analyzes the forces that have shaped Libya's trajectory into political fragmentation since 2011. Questioning widely held assumptions about the role of Libya’s tribes in the revolution, Wolfram Lacher sheds new light on the complex community rifts between the revolutionaries and loyalists, and shows why Khalifa Haftar has been able to consolidate his sway over the northeast. Based on hundreds of interviews with key actors in the conflict, Lacher advances a new approach to the study of civil wars, placing the social ties of actors at the centre of analysis and exploring the link between violent conflict and social cohesion.
Today the Sahrawi are admired as soldier-statesmen and refugee-diplomats. Konstantina Isidoros provides a rich ethnographic portrait of this unique desert society's life in one of Earth's most extreme ecosystems. Her extensive anthropological research, conducted over nine years, illuminates an Arab-Berber Muslim society in which men wear full face veils and are matrifocused toward women, who are the propertyholders of tent households forming powerful matrilocal coalitions. Isidoros offers new analytical insights on gender relations, strategic tribe-to-state symbiosis and the tactical formation of 'tent-cities'.

Dialogue in Palestine
The People-to-People Diplomacy Programme and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Nadia Naser-Najjab, University of Exeter, UK Since 1993, various international donors have poured money into a People-to-People (P2P) diplomacy programme in Palestine. This grassroots initiative – still funded by prominent external donors today – seeks to foster public engagement through contact and therefore remove deeply embedded barriers. This book examines the limited nature of this ‘contact’ and explains why the P2P framework ultimately served to reinforce conflict and power relations. The book is based on the author’s own experience of the solidarity activities during the First Intifada and her first-hand involvement as a coordinator of the P2P projects.

The Failure of International Diplomacy
After almost seventy years, the Palestinian refugee problem remains unsolved. But if a deal ever could have been reached involving the repatriation of Palestinian refugees, it should have been in the early years of the Arab-Israeli conflict. So why didn’t this happen? This book is the first comprehensive study of the international community’s earliest efforts to solve the refugee problem. Based on a wide range of international primary sources from Israeli, US, UK and UN archives, it presents new evidence to reveal the major proposals to solve the conflict between 1948 and 1968, and to understand why these failed.

The British Empire and the Armenian Genocide
Humanitarianism and Imperial Politics from Gladstone to Churchill Michelle Tusan, University of Nevada, USA The Armenian question emerged as one of the most popular humanitarian causes in British society, capturing the imagination of philanthropists, politicians and the press. For liberals, it was seen as the embodiment of the humanitarian ideals espoused by their former leader (and four-time Prime Minister), W.E. Gladstone. For conservatives, as articulated most clearly by Winston Churchill, it proved a test case for British imperial power. In looking at the British response to the events in Anatolia, Michelle Tusan provides a new perspective on the genocide and sheds light on one of the first ever international humanitarian campaigns.

Democracy in Lebanon
Policy-Making in the GCC
Abbas Assi, Lebanese University
Edited by Neil Quilliam, Chatham House, UK & Mark C. Thompson, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia
Political Parties and the Struggle for Power Since Syrian Withdrawal The 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon, sparked by the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri on 14 February 2005, was seen by many as an opportunity for Lebanon's fragile political system to move towards a more stable form of democracy. But contrary to these expectations, in the years since Syrian military withdrawal in April 2005, Lebanon has been plagued with sectarian and political unrest and conflict. Abbas Assi here explores the obstacles that impeded the democratic transition process and how subsequent events since 2005 have bolstered this trend. Assi examines how the intersection of the influence of external factors and powers with domestic conflicts has shaped the behaviour of political parties and has had implications on their ability to reach compromises and initiate democratic reforms.

The Makers of Modern Syria
The Rise and Fall of Syrian Democracy 1918-1958 Sami Moubayed In the aftermath of World War I, Syria paved a path towards democracy. Initially as part of the French mandate in the Middle East and latterly as an independent republic, Syria put in place the instruments of democratic government that it was hoped would lead to a stable future. This book tells the story of Syria's formative years, using previously-unseen material from the personal papers of Ahmad Sharabati, a prominent nationalist who served in different capacities during colonial times and early independence, first as minister of defense and then as minister of education. His experiences and those of his contemporaries tell the story of Syria's short-lived democratic years, up to the union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic between 1958 and 1961.

State, Citizens and Institutions
Despite the rise in prominence of individual Gulf states and the growth of the GCC as a collective entity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual mechanics of policy-making in the region. In this book contributors assess the changing relationship between state and citizen and evaluate the role that formal and informal institutions play in mediating change and informing policy. With chapters from both academics and practitioners, the book shows how academic, social and economic institutions are responding to the increasingly complex process of decision-making in the region.

C. Brad Faught, Tyndale University College, Canada
Michael Berdine here examines the life of Sir Mark Sykes, the young British aristocrat who helped formulate many of Britain's policies in the Middle East that are responsible for much of the instability that has affected the region ever since.
Edmund Allenby, Viscount Allenby of Megiddo and Felixstowe, as he became later, was the principal British military figure in the region from 1917 to 1919. He fulfilled a similar proconsular role in Egypt from the latter year until 1925. In these two roles Allenby’s eight years in the Middle East were of great impact, and in probing his life an especially revealing window can be found through which to observe closely and understand more fully the history that has resulted in the terminal roil afflicting the Middle East and international affairs today.
Berdine shows that the general impression given of Sykes is at variance with the facts. He supported Zionist ambitions as part of a pro-British post-war Middle East peace settlement, although he was not himself a Zionist. Likewise, far from championing the Arab cause, the book reveals much evidence that he routinely exhibited a complete lack of empathy with the Arabs
Brad Faught’s biography of Allenby explores the events and actions of Allenby’s life, as well as to examine his thinking on both the British Empire and the post-World War I international order. Faught brings clarity to Allenby’s decisive impact on British imperial policy in the making of the modern Middle East, and thereby on the long arc of the region’s continuing and controversial place in world affairs.

America's Forgotten Middle East Initiative
Lady Anne Blunt in the Middle East
Andrew Patrick, Tennessee State University, USA
Lisa McCracken Lacy
The King-Crane Commission of 1919 Here, in the first book-length analysis of the KingCrane report in nearly 50 years, Andrew Patrick chronicles the history of early US involvement in the region, and challenges extant interpretations of the turbulent relationship between the United States and the Middle East. In particular, it explores the King-Crane Commission's controversial dismissal of claims by Zionist representatives like David Ben-Gurion on their 'right to Palestine', which proved particularly divisive, with some historians labeling it prophetic and accurate, and others arguing that Commission members were biased and ill-informed.

Travel, Politics and the Idea of Empire
Lady Anne Blunt was a woman ahead of her time. After marrying the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt in 1869, the pair travelled extensively in the Middle East, developing an especial fondness for the region and its people. With a broad knowledge of the Arab world, she challenged prevailing assumptions and, as a result of her aristocratic heritage, exerted strong influence in British political circles. Her extensive journeys in the Mediterranean region, North Africa, Egypt, Arabia, Syria, Iraq and Persia formed the basis of her knowledge about the Middle East. She pursued an intimate knowledge of Bedouin life in Arabia, the town culture of Syria and Mesopotamia and the politics of nationalism in Egypt. In this book, Lisa Lacy explores the life, travels and political ideas of Lady Anne.

A Novel
A Novel
Tucked away in a rundown quarter, just out of sight of downtown Cairo, a group of intellectuals gather regularly to smoke hashish in Hakeem’s den. The den is the center of their lives, both a refuge and a stimulus, and at the center of the den is the remarkable man who keeps their hashish bowls topped up—Rowdy Salih. While his former life is a mystery to his loyal clientele of writers, painters, film directors, and even window dressers, each sees himself reflected in Salih; but without his humor, humility, or insight, or his occasional passions fueled by hootch.
In the shadows of great wealth, and among Cairo’s famous monuments, runs a world of street children. Mustafa, a former student radical who never really believed in the slogans, sets out to tell their story through a documentary he is making with his American girlfriend, Marcia. Alienated from a corrupt and corrupting society, Mustafa watches as the Cairo he cherishes crumbles around him. His former leftist comrades are now all either capitalists or Islamists, while his friends and acquaintances struggle to find lovers worthy of their love and causes worthy of their sacrifice.

Akhenaten
Arabian Nights and Days
Naguib Mahfouz
Translated by Denys Johnson-Davies
Dweller in Truth Translated by Tagreid Abu-Hassabo In Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz tells with remarkable insight the story of the ‘heretic’ pharaoh whose iconoclastic and controversial career has such resonance with modern sensibilities. Years after the king’s death, a young man with a passion for the truth questions the pharaoh’s contemporaries— including his closest friends, his bitterest enemies, and his enigmatic wife Nefertiti—in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten’s court.

Naguib Mahfouz
Drawing on the characters and the spirit of the classic A Thousand and One Nights, Arabian Nights and Days is a significant departure for Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. Though it is set in an Islamic city in medieval times, the modern reader will find much in this novel that is surprisingly familiar. It depicts a city plagued by widespread corruption among its most powerful citizens, and a pervasive sense of social unrest and insecurity. The chief of police is kept particularly busy dealing with the underground activities of various religious sects that are intent on changing the unscrupulous regime. Amid all of this, as in the Thousand and One Nights, genies appear out of bottles accidentally opened by innocent individuals, affecting their lives in exciting, sometimes detrimental ways.

Sugar Street
Palace of Desire
Translated by William M. Hutchins & Angele Botros Samaan
Translated by William M. Hutchins, Lorne Kenny & Olive E. Kenny
In this final volume of Naguib Mahfouz's masterpiece trilogy, alSayyid Ahmad is aging, ill, and confined behind the mashrabiya that once confined his wife. But in his grandsons we see a modern Egypt emerging: one becomes a communist activist, another a Muslim fundamentalist, both working for what they believe will be a better world. And a third launches a promising political career abetted by a homosexual relationship with a prominent politician.
In this second volume of The Cairo Trilogy, the master storyteller spins a sensual, provocative tale, following the al-Jawad family into the awakening world of the 1920s, where increased freedoms prove as troubling as domination and repression once did. Like Palace Walk, Palace of Desire affords a fascinating look at a period of modern Egyptian history by lovingly and painstakingly examining the day-today lives of a single family.

Naguib Mahfouz
The Day the Leader Was Killed Naguib Mahfouz
Translated by Malak Hashem Mahfouz traces the life of a middle-class Cairene family living in the early 1980s under President Sadat. It was an era of transition in Egypt, a time of acute crisis, as everywhere ordinary people were being pushed into the ‘’abyss of Infitah.’’ In the mad rush, there was a sense of an ending, a feeling of panic as the innocent helplessly watched their world rapidly disintegrating. A whole way of life with its age-old traditions and values was simply falling apart, making way for a merciless new materialism in ‘’the kingdom of the corrupt,’’ where survival had indeed to be for the fittest.

Art in Egypt between the Islamic and the Contemporary Alex Dika Seggerman Analyzing the modernist art movement that arose in Cairo and Alexandria from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s, Alex Dika Seggerman reveals how the visual arts were part of a multifaceted transnational modernism. While the work of diverse, major Egyptian artists during this era may have appeared to be secular, she argues, it reflected the subtle but essential inflection of Islam, as a faith, history, and lived experience, in the overarching development of Middle Eastern modernity.

MUSIC AND SOUND STUDIES - 33 1/3
33 1/3 David Bowie's Diamond Dogs Glenn Hendler, Fordham University, USA
Goldie’s Timeless
Martyn Deykers, DJ, Promoter and Music Producer, The Netherlands
After his breakthrough with Ziggy Stardust and before his U.S. pop hits “Fame” and “Golden Years” David Bowie produced a dark and difficult concept album set in a post-apocalytic “Hunger City” populated by post-human “mutants.” In this book, Glenn Hendler reveals Diamond Dogs’s connections to the larger world of 1973-4, including the neoliberal vision of urban decline registered in the album’s setting and the shifts in the meanings of gender, sexuality, and race that David Bowie both reflected and contributed to through his writing, his music, and his persona. These are just some of the reasons many Bowie fans rate Diamond Dogs his richest and most important album of the 1970s.
Timeless describes how the album came to be: A short description of the sparkling drum ‘n bass scene of the time, and Goldie’s unlikely personal journey as a graffiti writer turned music wunderkind. It digs deeper into the music itself, analyzing several of the key tracks, uncovering highly autobiographical lyrical content but also looking at plenty of interesting sonic ideas that reference Goldie’s previous music and that of his peers, hip hop, graffiti culture and movies. From the beautifully epic radio hit “Innercity Life” to the darker, grimier textures of “Jah the Seventh Seal”, the album covers a wide array of emotions and musical ideas.

Judy Garland's Judy at Carnegie Hall Manuel Betancourt, Independent Scholar, USA
On the night of Sunday April 23, 1961 Judy Garland made history. That’s no hyperbole. Surrounded by a throng of ecstatic fans (3,165 to be exact), the legendary performer delivered a concert in Carnegie Hall whose live recording became, upon release, an unlikely pop cultural phenomenon. What the recording highlights, and what’s made it an enduring classic on a class of its own, is the palpable connection between the songstress and her fans. By looking at her song choices, her stage banter, the album’s cultural impact, and her place in the gay pantheon, this book argues that Judy’s palpable connection with her fans is precisely what her Capitol Records’ 2-disc album captured.

Elton John's Blue Moves
Matthew Restall, Penn State University, USA By 1976, Elton John was the best-selling recording artist and the highest-grossing touring act in the world. With seven #1 albums in a row and a reputation as a riveting piano-pounding performer, the former Reggie Dwight had gone with dazzling speed to the pinnacles of rock stardom. Then he released Blue Moves, and it all came crashing down. Was the commercially disappointing and poorly reviewed double album to blame? No, argues Matthew Restall; Blue Moves is a foursided masterpiece, as fantastic as Captain Fantastic, as colorful as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a showcase for the three elements— piano-playing troubadour, full orchestra, rock band—with which Elton John and his collaborators redirected the evolution of popular music. Instead, both album and career were derailed by a perfect storm of circumstances: Elton’s decisions to stop touring and start his own label; the turbulent shiftings of popular culture in the punk era and the minefield of attitudes towards celebrity and sexuality. The closer we get to Blue Moves, the better we understand the world into which it was born—and vice versa.

Japan's Tin Drum
Agata Pyzik, Independent Scholar, UK Tin Drum seeks to provide an outsider look at one of the most mysterious post-punk albums, the 1981 Orientalist and escapist manifesto by the English synth-pop/new wave English band Japan. As an act of cultural appropriation and a meditation on the perils of Western civilisation, seeking solace in a virtual trip to the “Orient of the self” and Maoist ideology, Tin Drum invites external analysis to be culturally appropriated itself. Agata Pyzik tells how the fruitful encounter between the neurotic Western youngsters and dream of the radically other East produced one of the most dissonant and compelling records of the era, too strange to be appreciated at the time, a big hit at the time but too peculiar to be fully understood.

D’Angelo’s Voodoo
Faith A. Pennick, Independent Scholar, USA Voodoo, D’Angelo’s much-anticipated 2000 release set the standard for the musical cycle anointed the “neo-soul” movement. The album is a product of heightened and fused sensibilities; an amalgamation of soul and rock, jazz and gospel, hip-hop, Afrobeats and literal vodou chants. Despite nearly universal acclaim for the album, its sonic expansiveness proved too nebulous for airplay on many R&B and pop radio stations. Voodoo was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D’Angelo’s sweat-glistened six-pack abs. The album created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.

Marc A. Hertzman, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, USA Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the twentieth (and twenty-first) century’s great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected array of people, places, and things spread across the globe from Brazil to England to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don’t always seem to fit.

Engaging this album, this book provides a unique lens through which to examine current trends in European pop and electronic music history beyond standard examples of German pop and electronic music, such as Kraftwerk and Rammstein.

Joe Hisaishi's Soundtrack for My Neighbor Totoro Kunio Hara, University of South Carolina, USA
My Neighbor Totoro is a long-standing international icon of Japanese pop-culture that grew out of the partnership between the legendary animator Miyazaki Hayao and the world-renowned composer Joe Hisaishi. A crucial step in the two artists’ collaboration was the creation of the album, My Neighbor Totoro: Image Song Collection, with lyrics penned by Miyazaki and Nakagawa Rieko, a famed children’s book author, and music composed by Hisaishi. This book investigates the extent to which Hisaishi’s music shaped Miyazaki’s vision by examining the relationship between the images created by Miyazaki and the music composed by Hisaishi.

Its musical traditions are distinct from other parts of Japan, varying in instrumentation, poetic forms, and musical scales.

Prince, Race, Sex, Religion, and Music
A Literary Soundtrack
An intelligent, timely, and illuminating biography, This Thing Called Life sheds new light on one of the late 20th century’s most unique and gifted artists. The book highlights the artist’s proclivity for challenging, blurring, and stretching traditional categories such as race, gender, sex, religion, and death. And with a reputation for being apolitical and reclusive, Prince had a surprising amount to say about these issues through his music. This Thing Called Life offers a vivid, multi-faceted look at the artist, and demonstrates how profound his influence was and still is on American and global culture.

"Fresh approach to understanding the output of the On the Road novelist, which uses music to illuminate his written work." The Bookseller He was the king of the Beat Generation and the most dynamic novelist of his time, but Jack Kerouac had a lifelong passion for music. The novelist, most famous for his 1957 book On the Road, admired the sounds of bebop and attempted to bring something of their original energy to his own writing. In Kerouac on Record, contributors consider the writer's own recorded output, those rock tributes that have kept his memory alive, and the scores that have featured in a string of Hollywood adaptations of his fictional adventures.

Critical Perspectives on an Interdisciplinary Life
Edited by Mike Alleyne, Middle Tennessee State University, USA & Kirsty Fairclough, University of Salford, UK Prince’s position in popular culture has undergone only limited academic scrutiny. This book provides an academic examination of Prince, encompassing the many layers of his cultural and creative impact. It assesses Prince’s life and legacy holistically, exploring his multiple identities and the ways in which they were manifested through his recorded catalogue and audiovisual personae. In 15 essays organized thematically, the anthology includes a diverse range of contributions - taking ethnographic, musicological, sociological, gender studies and cultural studies approaches to analysing Prince’s career.
This book explores the ways in which cars and car journeys have shaped us as well as the way we have shaped them. It suggests that automobiles have not only provided a literal space for the experience of music. Including both broad synergies and specific case studies, Popular Music and Automobiles explores how attention to an ongoing relationship can reveal insights about the assertion and negotiation of identity. Using methods of enquiry that are as diverse as the topics they tackle, its contributors closely consider specific genders, genres, places and texts. Readers will emerge with a better understanding of the meaningful ways in which ordinary people have brought automobiles and music together.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music and Social Class
Edited by Ian Peddie, Sul Ross State University, USA
An interdisciplinary volume, drawing from sociology, geography, ethnomusicology, media, cultural, and communication studies, this book covers a widerange of topics germane to the production and consumption of place in popular music. Through considerations of changes in technology and the mediascape that have shaped the experience of popular music (vinyl, iPods, social media), the role of social difference and how it shapes sociomusical encounters (queer spaces, gendered and racialised spaces), as well as the construction and representations of place (musical tourism, city branding, urban mythologies), this is an up-to-the-moment overview of central discussions about place and music.
This is the first extensive analysis of the most important themes and concepts in this field. Encompassing contemporary research in ethnomusicology, sociology, cultural studies, history, and race studies, the volume explores the intersections between music and class, and how the meanings of class are asserted and denied, confused and clarified, through music. With chapters on key genres, traditions, and subcultures, as well as fresh and engaging directions for future scholarship, the volume considers how music has thought about and articulated social class. It consists entirely of original contributions written by internationally renowned scholars, and provides an essential reference point for scholars interested in the relationship between popular music and social class.

Pop Music and Hip Ennui
Live from the Other Side of Nowhere
Macon Holt, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
Sam Cleeve, Birmingham City University, UK
A Sonic Fiction of Capitalist Realism
This book provides the imaginative and analytical resources to think with contemporary pop music to investigate the ambivalences of contemporary culture and the potentials in it for change. Drawing on Kodwo Eshun’s practice of Sonic Fiction and Mark Fisher’s analytical framework of capitalist realism, Holt explores the multiplicities contained in contemporary pop from sensation to abstraction and from the personal to the political. Pop Music and Hip Ennui unravels the assumptions embedded in the cultural and critical analysis of popular music. In doing so, it provides new ways to understand the experience of listening to pop music and living in the sonic atmosphere it produces. This book neither excuses pop’s oppressive tendencies nor dismisses the pleasures of its sensations.

Contemplating Musical Performance in an Age of Virtual Reality In recent years VR has become an increasingly prevalent platform for musical performance—Björk, U2, Gorillaz, and even the LA Philharmonic all having taken to the virtual stage. These virtual encounters profoundly disrupt assumptions long held to be true of live music, undermining the necessity of physical and temporal co-presence, exploding our expectations of performance spaces, opening up new possibilities for performance involving avatars, and affording intimate encounters otherwise impossible in the physical world. Live from the Other Side of Nowhere begins to pry apart the conceptual challenges that this disruptive technology poses to our understanding of the ‘live’ as an autonomous category of musical activity.

Sirens
Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK This book argues that we should understand ‘siren sounds’ both as myth and as materiality embodying both danger and protectiveness. Sirens then poses the question as to whether we can rely on the sirens of contemporary culture. Ideologies of the sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of siren sounds—from the Cold War public training exercises in the US to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture, from the music of Roxy Music to Tom O’Dell and in filmic representations of the ‘femme fatale’ in film noir and beyond.

Sonic Fiction
Holger Schulze, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Sonic Intimacy
Malcolm James, University of Sussex, UK Sonic Intimacy addresses and establishes the new concept of “sonic intimacy” as a key term through which sound, human, and technological relations can be assessed and understood in relation to capitalism. Analyzing “sonic intimacy” through key case studies of three alternative music technologies of the black Atlantic (sound systems, pirate radio, and YouTube), James addresses in particular the aural transmission of care (intimacies), the internal (intimate) affects of sound and the collective affect of sound (intimacy) and its relation to (intimate) times and spaces. Sonic Intimacy thus explores what is at stake in the development of sonic intimacy for human relations and alternative black and anti-capitalist public politics.

Lipsynching
Merrie Snell, Independent scholar
Sonic fiction is everywhere: in conversations about vernacular culture, in music videos, sound art compositions and on record sleeves, in everyday encounters with sonic experiences and in every single piece of writing about sound. Where one can find sounds one will also detect bits of fiction.This book provides a basic introduction to sonic fiction. In six chapters it explicates the inspirations for and the transformations of this concept; it explores applications and extrapolations in sound art and sonic theory, in musicology, epistemology, in critical and political theory.
This book examines the practice of lipsynching to pre-recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts. Covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early cinema and drag performance, through to the current popularity of self-produced internet lipsynching videos, it examines the ways in which we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation, and, through this, a means of personal and collective creativity.

Future Sounds
Dark Sound
Stephen Kennedy, University of Greenwich, UK
D Ferrett, Falmouth University, UK
The Temporality of Noise "Kennedy has brilliantly shown how the nonlinearity and multi-temporality of noise has been productive of so-called digital culture. Key reading for anyone interested in the realities of the digital age and the most relevant philosophies of time and technology." Timothy Barker, University of Glasgow, UK What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is a frenzied and busy field? Future Sounds examines historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about time and the necessity to recontextualize and interpret them in the digital age.
Feminine Voices in Sonic Shadow Dark Sound is a concept bound to music that embodies ‘dark’ themes such as melancholy, death, desire, violence, loss and longing. This text interrogates the attraction to dark sound and its historical association with femininity through case studies of artists such as Moor Mother, Anna Calvi, Chelsea Wolfe, and concludes with the intensely political repertoire of GreekAmerican composer and singer Diamanda Galás.

Critical Engagements
Edited by Jon Stratton, University of South Australia, Jon Dale, Independent Scholar, Australia & Tony Mitchell, University of Technology Sydney, Australia This book offers an overview of Australian popular music through the lens of significant, yet sometimes overlooked, Australian albums. Artists covered range from those who have achieved very recent success (Courtney Barnett, Dami Im and Flume) and whose work contributes to international pop music (Sia), to the more exploratory or experimental (Curse of Dialect and A.B. Original). Collectively the albums and artists covered contribute to a view of Australian popular music through the non-canonical, emphasizing albums by women, non-white artists and Indigenous artists, and expanding the focus to include genres outside of rock including hip hop, black metal and country.

Towards Gender Equality in the Music Industry Education, Practice and Strategies for Change
Edited by Catherine Strong, RMIT University, Australia & Sarah Raine, Birmingham City University, UK Gender inequality is universally understood to be a continued problem in the music industry. This volume presents research that uses an industry-based approach to examine why this gender imbalance has proven so hard to shift, and explores strategies that are being adopted to try and bring about meaningful change in terms of women and gender diverse people establishing ongoing careers in music. It focuses on three key areas: music education; case studies that explore practices in the music industry; and activist spaces.

Making It Heard
A History of Brazilian Sound Art Edited by Rui Chaves & Fernando Iazzetta, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil From the mid-twentieth century to present, the Brazilian cultural scene and its art, literature, and music has been witness to a wealth of creative approaches involving sound. This is the backdrop for Making it Heard: A History of Brazilian Sound Art, a volume that offers an overview of local artists working with performance, experimental vinyl production, sound installation, sculpture, radio, field recording, and sound mapping. It criticizes universal approaches to art and music hyetography that fail to recognize local idiosyncrasies, and creates a local rationale and discourse.

Transcultural Sound Practices
South Asian Dance Music as Cultural Transformation Carla J. Maier, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Listening into the sound practices of South Asian musicians in the UK – such as the Asian Dub Foundation or M.I.A. – and spanning three decades of urban dance music production, this book investigates how South Asian sounds are sampled, cut, layered, looped and manipulated, and how this deconstructs and demystifies these sounds as markers of orientalised 'world' music cultures. Rather than conceiving of music as a representation of fixed cultures, it claims that music is as porous, dynamic and conflicting as ‘culture’ itself. Transcultural Sound Practices disrupts the ways in which ethnicity has been written into music and investigates how sound practices generate new ways of thinking about culture.

The Practice of Musical Improvisation
Dialogues with Contemporary Musical Improvisers Edited by Bertrand Denzler & Jean-Luc Guionnet Over several years, Bertrand Denzler and Jean-Luc Guionnet have interviewed a variety of approximately 50 musicians about their practice of musical improvisation. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and carefully edited. Musicians include both the very experienced such as Phil Durrant, Rhodri Davies, Eddie Prévost, John Butcher, Evan Parker, Axel Dörner, Phil Minton, Radu Malfatti, Otomo Yoshihide, Bill Dixon and Annette Krebs, as well as those newer to the field. Asked questions on topics such as the thought process behind a collective improvisation, the importance of the human factor in improvisation, and the technical strategies used, the interviewees highlight the habits and customs of a practice, as experienced by those who invent it on a daily basis.

P H I L O S O P H Y – General Interest
Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure, France Translated by A. J. Bartlett & Justin Clemens, University of Melbourne, Australia
Gary Cox has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Brimingham, UK, where he is also an Honorary Research Fellow.
A philosophical call to arms, Alain Badiou offers a compelling indictment of our contemporary society. Through a close analysis of Genet's play The Balcony, this is a searing critique of the current age and its democratic systems of power. Badiou argues that true radical politics must begin by dismantling the obscene or pornographic relations of parliamentary capitalism. Accompanied by critical commentary from Badiou translators and scholars A.J. Bartlett and Justin Clemens, he asks us to confront the debasement of the political realities of the present, to galvanize ourselves to action.
In this instructive, entertaining and often humorous book, Gary Cox, best-selling author of How to Be an Existentialist and How to Be a Philosopher, investigates the phenomenon of goodness and what, if anything, it is to be a good person and a paragon of virtue. Part easygoing exploration of the age-old subject of moral philosophy, part personal development and improvement manual, How to be Good carefully leads the reader on a fascinating journey through the often strange and surprising world of ethics.

Alienation and Freedom
Vexed
Frantz Fanon
James Mumford
Edited by Robert J. C. Young & Jean Khalfa
Like many, James Mumford found himself vexed by the instinctive positions of the Left and the Right on the most important ethical questions. Why should believing strongly about one topic mean the automatic adoption of so many others?
The Psychiatric Writings
Translated by Steven Corcoran Frantz Fanon's psychiatric career was crucial to his thinking as an anti-colonialist writer and activist. Much of his iconic work was shaped by his experiences working in hospitals in France, Algeria and Tunisia. The writing collected here, from 1951 to 1960, was written in tandem with his political work and reveals much about how Fanon’s thought developed, showing that for him, psychiatry was part of a much wider socio-political struggle. His political, revolutionary and literary lives should not then be separated from the psychiatric practice and writings that shaped his thinking about oppression, alienation and the search for freedom.

Morality in an Age of Political Tribalism
In this refreshing and stylish book Mumford examines the most challenging issues of our time – assisted dying, guns, the environment, abortion, prisons and sex – seeking a practical approach to ethics that goes beyond the binaries of Right and Left. This is for anyone who cares deeply about the world but longs to escape the political tribe and think for themselves.

Frantz Fanon's Plays
Alienation and Freedom
Frantz Fanon
Frantz Fanon
Before becoming a psychiatrist, Frantz Fanon wanted to be a playwright and remained fascinated with dialogue, narrative and metaphor throughout his career. In 1949 he wrote the plays The Drowning Eye (L’Oeil se noie), and Parallel Hands (Les Mains parallèles). These texts were rumoured to exist, but were only recently released in French in 2016. This first English translation gives Fanon scholars a totally different writer to the man we encounter later. In this unique insight into one of the most important political voices of the twentieth century, he is revealed at his most lyrical, experimental and yet, provocative.

How to be Good: or How to Be Moral and Virtuous in a Wicked World
The Pornographic Age
The Political Writings
Translated by Steven Corcoran Frantz Fanon’s (1925-61) political impact is difficult to overestimate. His anti-colonialist, philosophical and revolutionary writings were among the most influential of the twentieth century. The essays, articles and notes published in this volume cover the most active period of his life and encapsulate the breadth of his work, containing his plays, essays on psychiatry and writings in support of Algeria’s war against France. These works provide an exciting new depth and complexity to our understanding of Fanon’s oeuvre and reveal how his powerful thinking about race, identity and activism remain pertinent to modern society and capable of disrupting it.

A Reader
Keith Robinson, University of Arkansas, USA This is the first introductory reader to bring together excerpts of original writings from across key thinkers and critics in the history of process thought. Robinson draws from both the continental and Anglophone traditions and spans an incredible amount of history - starting with process thinking in Greek philosophy and moving through to the contemporary new materiality debates. This is also the first volume to include, alongside its advocates, primary texts from the critics of process philosophy. So, we don't only hear from Whitehead, Bergson, Marx and Deleuze but also from critics such as Ranciere, Harman, A.J. Ayers and Heidegger.

Truth, Time and History: A Philosophical Inquiry
Sophie Botros, University of London, UK Breaking impasses within the narrower analytic debates concerning the semantic anti-realists and the truth value link realists, this original study adopts a broader approach to understand the extent to which the past exists independently. It draws on the work of Dummet, Smart and Prior as well as historians such as Collingwood and Oakeshot and reveals underlying links between the realist/anti-realist debate. By combining insights from analytic and continental philosophy and history to show how the legitimacy of discourse about the past can be sustained, it presents a convincing argument for the unreality of the past, and its inherence in the present.

The Philosophy and Common Sense Reader
Challenging Power
Democracy and Accountability in a Fractured World Cynthia Kaufman, De Anza College, USA Arguing that we only have democracy when systems of power are held to account, Kaufman pairs four social problems – climate change, sweatshop labour, police abuse, and economic deprivation – with operations of power such as the large-scale influence of multinational corporations and the power of governments. Using case-studies like the killing of Eric Garner, Kaufman demonstrates the difficulty in challenging the nexus of power. Yet, advancing a positive message, Kaufman maintains that this network can be questioned if we develop ‘mechanisms of accountability’ allowing us to conceptualize the nature of these restrictions and the action required to resist them.

Heidegger and the Problem of Phenomena Fredrik Westerlund, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
Through a detailed chronological interpretation of how Heidegger worked through the problem of phenomena, Fredrick Westerlund develops an overview of the main stages of his philosophical development, from the early Freiburg lectures, 1919-1923, the publication of Being and Time, 1927, up to his later thinking stretching from the mid-1930s to the early 1970s. Focusing on this problem shines new light on the philosophical logic and motives behind the central changes in Heidegger's thinking. Westerlund persuasively argues that Heidegger's radical historicism ultimately makes him unable to account either for the truth of our understanding or for the ethical-existential significance of others.

The Last Humanity
A New Ecological Science Francois Laruelle, Université de Paris X, Nanterre, France Translated by Anthony Paul Smith Laruelle has developed one of the most singular and unique ways of thinking within contemporary philosophy. Here he rethinks what it means to be human, confronting the challenge of ecology for his kind of humanism (which he would call a 'non-humanism'). This challenge is one of thinking of the ethical demands of other entities within a general ecology, namely the lives of plants and other vegetation alongside that of animals. The first English translation of a key work from this highly original philosopher will be of particular interest to those concerned with philosophical innovation and the renewal of ecological thought.

'Art and Fear' and 'Art as Far as the Eye Can See'
How to be a Failure and Still Live Well
Translated by Julie Rose
Beverley Clack, Oxford Brookes University, UK
Paul Virilio
In Art and Fear, Virilio traces the twin development of art and science over the 20th century. In his provocative vision, art and science vie with each other for the destruction of the human form as we know it. This is a radical take on the state of art for a post-human and post-historical world. In Art as Far as the Eye Can See Virilio considers the effects that the technological advances of the 20th century have had on art, aesthetics and politics and looks at the way in which these technologies alienate us from our physical environment.

P H I L O S O P H Y – Ethics and Moral Philosophy / Continental Philosophy
The Pornography of Meat
A Philosophy
In Western consumer economies, success is increasingly defined in terms of material attainment and status, deriding the absence of these as ‘failure’. How to be a Failure and Still Live Well explores the often neglected theme of failure, and how it has been conflated with loss, affecting our ability to cope with the inevitable losses of ageing and death. Engaging with loss allows different values to emerge. Relationships, spontaneity, and generosity are explored here as qualities that arise from taking seriously our vulnerability and that form the basis for richer accounts of what it might mean to ‘live well’.

A Legacy by Example Recently, scholars have moved away from their sole interest being in Søren Kierkegaard himself and have instead started to analyse his thematic legacy. In a bold new argument, Alastair Hannay claims that Kierkegaard’s dichotomous personas indicated the philosopher’s fragmented sense of self. The philosopher castigated society for its failure to uphold Christian values, but simultaneously justified his exceptionality by promoting the myth of the ‘single individual’. It is this fracture that Hannay links to issues in modern identity politics. The current questions around integration and acceptance have, he claims, already been explored by Kierkegaard in his own personal battles.

The Interviews and Debates Edited by Kiff Bamford, Leeds Beckett University, UK Bringing together hard-to-find interviews and previously untranslated material, this is the first time that the interviews and debates of French philosopher, Jean-François Lyotard (1924-1998), have been presented as a collection. Across five decades of his working life, and including debates with such thinkers as Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, these interviews help to contextualise Lyotard. They highlight the significance that Marx, Freud, Kant and Wittgenstein had on his work, as well as revealing the Jewish thought that accompanies the questions of silence, justice and presence pervading Lyotard’s thinking.

Kenneth Lonergan
The Polemics of Ressentiment
Todd May
Edited by Sjoerd van Tuinen, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Filmmaker and Philosopher How does self-deception feature and function in the lives of everyday peoples? When we suffer something that can’t be overcome, how do we live with it? These are some of the questions tackled in the philosophically complex films of Kenneth Lonergan, You Can Count on Me (2000), Margaret (2011) and Manchester By The Sea (2016), which all explore themes of love, loss and morality. In this new book Todd Smith philosophically engages with these motifs as they unfold in Lonergan’s films, and in doing so enables the reader to formulate a more nuanced answer to the questions they pose.

Variations on Nietzsche
"A remarkably timely volume, exploring ressentiment as a problem of voluntary servitude and clearly articulating its critical and polemical value. One of the richest and most coherently framed discussions of ressentiment in Continental philosophy in recent decades." - Oliver Davis, Warwick University, UK The rise of populism, cynicism, fanaticism and fundamentalism challenges us to reconsider Nietzsche’s concept of ressentiment, which is now making a comeback in political discourse. The aim of this book is to examine the divergent senses in which the concept of ressentiment is used today.

Deleuze and Becoming
Nihilism and Philosophy
Samantha Bankston, Sierra Nevada College, USA Deleuze’s concept of ‘becoming’ provides the key to his notoriously complex metaphysics, yet he never systematized it. Bankston tracks both the concept across Deleuze’s writings and its underlying ontological and temporal processes, arguing that expressions of becoming(s) appear in one of two temporal registers: an appropriation of Nietzsche’s concept of eternal return, and Bergsonian duration. Overturning the criticisms launched by Žižek and Badiou, with conceptual encounters between Bergson, Nietzsche, Leibniz, Borges, Klossowski, and Proust, the newly charted concept of double becoming provides a roadmap to the totality of Deleuze’s philosophy.

Nothingness, Truth and World
Gideon Baker, Griffith University, Australia The crisis of truth initiates the nothingness of existence. Truth was elevated to this existential position by philosophy and the philosophical will to truth introduces nihilism, since it makes identifying truth the priority, whilst continually calling it into question. In an expansive study from Antiquity to the present, Gideon Baker contends that the crises of truth and existence within nihilistic thought are inseparable. He examines thinkers from St Paul, Nietzsche, Foucault to Badiou and argues that since nihilism is a question of relation occasioned by the philosophical will to truth, understanding nihilism must include a new understanding of truth.

From Sartre to Agamben
Edited by Kurt Lampe, University of Bristol, UK & Janae Sholtz, Alvernia University, USA The importance of Stoicism for Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense and Michel Foucault’s Hermeneutics of the Subject and The Care of the Self is well known. However, few students of either classics or philosophy are aware of the breadth of French and Italian receptions of Stoicism. This book firstly presents this broad field to readers, and secondly advances it by renewing dialogues with ancient Stoic texts. The authors in this volume, who combine expertise in continental and Hellenistic philosophy, challenge our understanding of both modern and ancient concepts, arguments, exercises, and therapies.

Nietzsche and Epicurus
Edited by Vinod Acharya & Ryan J. Johnson This volume explores Nietzsche’s decisive encounter with the ancient philosopher, Epicurus, in whom he saw the embodiment of the practice of philosophy as an art of existing. Through two overarching themes – nature and ethics – the collected essays offer original and illuminating perspectives on the centrality of Epicurus to Nietzsche’s philosophical project. Uncovering the nature of Nietzsche’s reception of, relation to, and movement beyond Epicurus, contributors provide insights into a variety of topics, including health and philosophy in both thinkers; practices of eating and thinking; the practice of the gay science; and Epicureanism and politics.

Philosophical Mysticism in Plato, Hegel, and the Present Robert Wallace
Few twenty-first century academics take seriously mysticism’s claim that we have direct knowledge of a higher, more “inner” reality or God. Yet Robert Wallace argues that many leading philosophers of earlier epochs, from Plato to G. W. F. Hegel and Alfred North Whitehead, were, in fact, all philosophical mystics. This book discusses major versions of philosophical mysticism – including St Augustine, Dante, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, to name but a few – and uncovers how the framework of mysticism’s higher or more inner reality allows nature, freedom, science, ethics, the arts to work together rather than conflicting with one another.

Analysing the Cultural Unconscious Science of the Signifier
Edited by Lilian Munk Rösing, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Henrik Jøker Bjerre, Brian Benjamin Hansen, Kirsten Hyldgaard & Jakob Rosendal What are we doing when we take psychoanalysis from the couch to analysing society, culture, and the arts? Psychoanalysis is often disclaimed as non-scientific, since its main object – the unconscious – has no definitive existence. This book, however, presents psychoanalysis as a “science of the signifier”, arguing that analysis of the signifier is the best way to understand not only the individual unconscious, but also the cultural one. Replacing a person’s therapeutic monologue by applying psychoanalysis to ideology, criticism and art, allows us to analyse culture and the arts in a new way, thereby uncovering the cultural unconscious.

Political Theory and Architecture Edited by Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge, UK & Bernardo Zacka, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA This book situates the built environment at the heart of debates over democracy and citizenship. Does democracy call for a distinctive spatial environment, and if so, what are its characteristics and symbolism? How can architecture contribute positively to the democracy of everyday life? And what dilemmas does it face when it attempts to do so? The contributors to this volume approach these interdisciplinary questions, reflecting the range of methods and sensibilities that animate contemporary political theory. What emerges is a multifarious engagement with the many facets of the built environment and a sustained inquiry into their significance for democratic theory.

Emilio Carlo Corriero
Simone Kotva, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK
Schelling after Heidegger
What does Heidegger’s controversial notion of the Event mean? Is it a historical prophecy connected to his political affinity with Nazism? And how does this concept relate to a new beginning for Western philosophy after Schelling and Nietzsche? Here, Emilio Carlo Correiro highlights the theoretical link between Schelling’s speculations and Heidegger’s later theories. He shows students and scholars of Heidegger, European and German philosophy and idealism, how, thanks to the concept of being’s intimate link to time, Heidegger’s later theories culminated in a historical philosophy and a definition of the post-metaphysical Absolute that is beyond any form of ontotheology.

An Existential Phenomenology of Addiction Anna Westin
Using the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas and Søren Kierkegaard, An Existential Phenomenology of Addiction examines how the experience of addiction engages both mental and physical phenomena situated within the existence of a particular human life. Thus mapping out an existential phenomenology of subject-in-relation, Westin combines this with contemporary addiction discourse, to argue that the concept of subject as ‘addict’, as found in the Twelve Steps Program and disease models of addiction, ought to be replaced with the free and relational identity of subject as ‘addicted’.

Georges Bataille and Contemporary Thought
Edited by Will Stronge, University of Brighton, UK Georges Bataille’s influence upon 20th century philosophy is hard to overstate. His work is a unique and enigmatic combination of political theory, philosophy, anthropology and economic theory. This is the first book to take his ambitious Accursed Share project, comprising of three volumes, as its guiding focus. As well as providing readings of Bataille’s key concepts (e.g. animality, sovereignty, dialectics, the sacred), this collection aims to explore new terrain and new theoretical problems. Thus, the essays act simultaneously as companion pieces to Bataille’s three-volume master work as well as indications as to the directions his thought can be taken in.
French Spiritualist Philosophy
Philosophy and theology have long harboured contradictory views on spiritual practice. As such, the historical juxtaposition of effort and grace grounding modern spiritual exercise can be seen as the essential tension between the secular and sacred. By exploring the relationship between French spiritualist philosophy and contemplative practice, Simone Kotva has produced a fascinating book tracing the narrative of spiritual exercise through the work of seminal French thinkers such as Henri Bergson, Simone Weil and Gilles Deleuze. Her work allows both secular philosophers and theologians to understand how the spiritual life can participate in the contemporary philosophical conversation.

Epicurus and the Singularity of Death
Pierre Hadot
David B. Suits, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA
Philosophy as Practice
Translated by Matthew Sharpe, Wesleyan University, USA & Federico Testa, University of Warwick, UK This collection by Pierre Hadot, curated by specialist translators, presents previously unreleased materials from one of the world's most prominent classical philosophers and historians of thought. As a passionate proponent of philosophy as a 'way of life', Hadot rejuvenated interest in the ancient philosophers and developed a philosophy based on their peculiarly prescient work. His radical recasting of philosophy in the West was both provocative and substantial. This beautifully written, lucid text will be of interest to historians, classicists and philosophers but also those interested in nourishing, as Pierre Hadot himself might have put it, a 'spiritual life'.

Defending Radical Epicureanism
Few philosophers agree with Epicurus’ controversial statement that ‘death is nothing to us’. Sparking fresh debate, this book provides a comprehensive and rigorous defence of the Epicurean view of death. Suits draws on Epicurus’ Principal Doctrines, Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura and Philodemus’ De Morte to argue that the usual concepts of harm, loss and suffering no longer apply in death. He also applies Epicurean reasoning to key issues in applied ethics, such as the right to life, immortality, friendship, wills and life insurance. Timely and provocative, this book makes a valuable contribution to the contemporary philosophical debate about death.

The Selected Writings of Pierre Hadot
Bloomsbury Studies in the Aristotelian Tradition Series Editor: Marco Sgarbi, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Italy
A Political Philosophy of Conservatism
Prudence, Moderation and Tradition Ferenc Hörcher, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary This book assesses how far the Aristotelian notion of prudence can be of use in thinking about politics today. Antique, medieval and early modern discussions on practical wisdom are reconstructed and re-contextualised to show why the virtue of ‘prudence’ should be revived. The book demonstrates the value of using Aristotelian notions to describe the actions and speeches of people active in politics, without losing sight of the normative dimension. In doing so, it presents an original argument which is both different from mainstream contemporary political philosophy and beneficial to our understanding of the role of practical reason in politics.

Early Modern Aristotelianism and the Making of Philosophical Disciplines Danilo Facca, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland
The Reception of Aristotle’s Poetics in the Italian Renaissance and Beyond New Directions in Criticism
Edited by Bryan Brazeau, University of Warwick, UK Applying new interdisciplinary methods from book history, translation studies and history of the emotions, this book explores literary criticism and the reception of Aristotle's Poetics and other classical texts, including Horace’s Ars Poetica, Longinus's On the Sublime, in early modern Italy. Revisiting the translations, commentaries, lectures, and polemic treatises produced and placing several early modern Italian poetic texts in dialogue with twentiethcentury literary theory for the first time, this book models contemporary practice and maps out avenues for future study.

Virtue Ethics and Contemporary Aristotelianism Modernity, Conflict and Politics
Edited by Andrius Bielskis, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania, Eleni Leontsini, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania & Kelvin Knight, London Metropolitan University, UK
Investigating the variety of ways in which Aristotelianism was understood and taught in European universities during the late Renaissance and Early Modern age, this book brings together the writings of major figures, including Peter Ramus and Bartholomäus Keckermann, as well as Ottaviano Ferrari, Philipp Scherb, Erns Soner and Franz Tidike, to reveal how innovative ideas from this period were actually formed through the reworking and distortion of Aristotelian concepts.
This compelling volume relates Aristotelianism’s traditional virtue ethics to characteristically modern issues, such as the politics of economic power and egalitarian dispute. Featuring a contribution from Alasdair MacIntyre, the book bridges the gap between Aristotle’s philosophy and the multitude of contemporary Aristotelian theories in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, establishing the relevance of Aristotle’s thought today.

The Philosophy of Isaiah Berlin Johnny Lyons
During World War II Isaiah Berlin bid farewell to philosophy in favour of the history of ideas. In this book, Johnny Lyons shows that Berlin’s Damascene moment led him to a more original and engaging way of being a philosopher, since his approach to intellectual history amounted to the pursuit of philosophy by other means. Recasting Berlin as a philosopher who took humanity and history seriously, Lyons reveals the underlying unity of his wide-ranging and seemingly fragmented ideas. By painting Berlin in this new and more illuminating light, he throws into relief the humanity and enduring interest of his thought.

From Classical to Contemporary Philosophy Edited by Stephen M. Cahn, Andrew T. Forcehimes & Robert B. Talisse Democracies put political power in the hands of the people.

Counterfactuals
Žižek on Race
Christopher Prendergast
Zahi Zalloua, Whitman College, USA
Paths of the Might have Been
Toward an Anti-Racist Future
"Here’s a counterfactual: if this book were less good, it would be easier to review. It’s quite rare to come across a book like this which is, quite simply, for the humanities. If we imagine a world where this book had no audience, where, say, the meanings of Petrarch’s climb and Ignatius’ indecision were forgotten, it would be a much colder and less wise one." Times Higher Education
Slavoj Žižek’s comments on anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, popular nationalism and neocolonialism comprise a dizzying array of thought, but they do not always portray him in the most flattering light. What can we extract from his commentaries then? Is there anything approaching a Žižekian philosophy of race?
We all use counterfactuals whether we realise it or not. But what are they? Counterfactuals introduces and explores both the history of counterfactuals and their use in our everyday lives.
Zahi Zalloua argues that there is and that Žižek’s polemical style shouldn't undermine the importance of his work in this area. Zalloua examines his philosophy of race, but also addresses its shortcomings. Using case studies like Black Lives Matter, Zalloua develops Žižek’s thought and puts him in dialogue with critical race and anticolonial theory.

Sacrifice in Suburbia
Carly Osborn, University of Adelaide, Australia This book draws on the philosopher René Girard to argue that three twentieth-century American novels (Jeffrey Eugenides’s The Virgin Suicides, Rick Moody’s The Ice Storm, and Richard Yates’s Revolutionary Road) are tragedies. In deploying a plethora of tragic tropes, including plagues of envy and hatred, contagions, disrupted holy rites, and monstrous women, these novels participate in a deep-rooted American tragic tradition, which Carly Osborn extends to consider the American Dream itself as a tragic idea and ideal, ending in violence.

John Lechte, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia

Bare Life and Ways of Life
'How can it be possible for human life to be excluded, exploited, oppressed and, ultimately, destroyed in the very name of humanity? This is the crucial question that Lechte tackles in this philosophical tour de force. Taking up from where Agamben left off, Lechte proposes a radical new understanding of the human as transcendent, as that which cannot be reduced to bare life. In doing so, he presents a fundamental challenge to the economic and political rationalities that today aim to objectify and control us. - Saul Newman, Professor of Political Theory, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK UK December 2019 • US December 2019 • 272 pages PB 9781350143883 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781350028135 Individual eBook 9781350028159 Library eBook 9781350028128 Bloomsbury Academic
From Marx to Hegel and Back Capitalism, Critique, and Utopia
Edited by Victoria Fareld, Stockholm University, Sweden & Hannes Kuch, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany The relation between Hegel and Marx is among the most important and most challenged in the history of philosophy. Given the contemporary renaissance of Marx and Marxist theories, how should we re-read the Hegel-Marx connection today? What place does Hegel have in contemporary critical thinking? With a particular focus on essential concepts like recognition and love, revolution, alienation, freedom, and the idea of critique, this fresh intervention into Hegelian and Marxian philosophy combines the unifying ethical content of Hegel’s philosophy with the power of Marx’s social and economic critique of the contemporary world.

Universalism, Capitalism and Disenlightenment
'John Roberts’ The Reasoning of Unreason impressively shows how a contemporary critique of oppression must proceed: it must understand oppression in its own rationality. Roberts therefore analyzes in detail and with a broad historical perspective how the regimes of oppression think – how they reason against reason. Oppression thus becomes recognizable as the oppression of thinking itself: of its emancipatory power of radical universality. A remarkable example of Marx's true philosophical criticism.' - Christoph Menke, Goethe University, Germany

This book is the first to academically examine the theoretical contributions and practical applications of community philosophy.

Auguste Blanqui and the Politics of Popular Empowerment Philippe Le Goff, University of Warwick, UK
This books offers a major re-evaluation of one the most controversial figures in the history of revolutionary politics: Louis-Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881). Challenging the prevailing image of Blanqui as an unthinking insurrectionalist, Le Goff rediscovers a forceful and compelling theory of mass political action and radical social change. Bringing Blanqui’s philosophy to the present, Le Goff also demonstrates that a number of his fundamental assumptions still resonate today. Shedding new light on his work, this book draws on a number of Blanqui's writings, some of which have only recently been translated into English for the first time.

On Faith, Works, Eternity and the Creatures We Are André Barbera, St John's College, USA.
In this volume André Barbera considers the question of faith, how an individual may act faithfully, and what good (if any) is faithful action. Barbera draws in particular from Augustine of Hippo’s comments of time. Barbera’s argument, influenced in addition by the work of philosophical thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and the Apostle Paul, allows for the interpretation that faith is not merely a struggle, but also a fulfillment.

On Time, Change, History and Conversion Sean Hannan
On Time, Change, History and Conversion offers a new interpretation of Augustine’s approach to temporality, by contrasting it to contemporary accounts of time drawn from philosophy, political theology, and popular science, in clusing Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and Stephen Pinker's Enlightenment Now. Rather than offering us a deceptively simple roadmap forward, Augustine instead reminds us that, before we tackle tasks like transforming ourselves and our world, we first must face up to the question of time itself.

A Radical Pluralist Philosophy of Religion
Edited by John M. DePoe, Marywood University, USA & Tyler Dalton McNabb, University of Macau, Macau
Mikel Burley, University of Leeds, UK
An Introduction to Five Views on the Knowledge of God
Cross-Cultural, Multireligious, Interdisciplinary
This book brings five competing viewpoints on the knowledge of God into critical dialogue with one another: classical evidentialism, phenomenal conservatism, proper functionalism, covenantal epistemology and traditions-based perspectivalism. Each chapter introduces one viewpoint, providing an overview of its main arguments and explaining why it justifies belief. Its validity is then tested in a critical response from an expert in an opposing tradition. Packed with lively debates, this is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in understanding the major positions in contemporary religious epistemology.
Employing his expertise in interdisciplinary and Wittgenstein-influenced methods, Mikel Burley critically engages with existing approaches to the philosophy of religion. Breaking away from the standard fixation on a narrow construal of theism, topics discussed include conceptions of compassion in Buddhist ethics, cannibalism in mortuary rituals, divine possession and animal sacrifice in Hindu Goddess worship and animism in indigenous traditions. Original and engaging, Burley’s synthesis of philosophical, anthropological and literary elements diversifies the philosophy of religion, providing an essential introduction for anyone interested in studying the radical plurality of forms that religion takes in human life.

Sacred Music, Religious Desire and Knowledge of God
Pauline Themes in Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger
The Music of Our Human Longing
Antonio Cimino, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Julian Perlmutter, Cambridge Theological Federation, UK
Antonio Cimino develops a new interpretation of Saint Paul’s influence on contemporary philosophy by focusing on the question of how thinkers such as Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger understand the articulation of faith (pistis) on the basis of their own readings of the Pauline letters. Cimino analyzes both secret or unsuspected convergences and important differences between the interpretations of Saint Paul that have been developed by Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger. In doing so, he goes beyond an immanent reading of these three authors and shows the shared post-metaphysical horizon in which their interest in Saint Paul should be located.
In this book, Julian Perlmutter examines how, in light of its wide appeal, sacred music can have religious significance for people regardless of their religious convictions. By differentiating between doctrinal belief and the desire for God, the book explores a longing for the spiritual that is compatible with both belief and 'interested non-belief'. Perlmutter describes how sacred music can elicit this kind of longing, thereby helping the listener to grow in religious openness. Of particular interest to philosophers and theologians, the book makes a novel contribution to several topics including religious epistemology, the philosophy of emotion and aesthetics.

Spiritual Philosophers: From Schopenhauer to Irigaray
Richard White, Creighton University, Omaha, USA Spiritual Philosophers is a conversation between philosophy and spirituality. It examines nine important “spiritual philosophers”, from Schopenhauer to Irigaray. Each chapter analyses one writer and the main spiritual theme with which they engaged, such as Nietzsche on generosity and Jung on the sacred. Positioning spirituality as separate from religion, the book will interest anyone who practises a religion, while also appealing to those who consider themselves as spiritual but not religious. Recently, spiritual perspectives have been ignored, but now is the time to recover a philosophical spiritual tradition, which posits philosophy itself as a kind of spiritual practice.

Arguing from Cognitive Science of Religion Hans Van Eyghen, VU Amsterdam, the Netherlands
This book considers whether recent ideas in Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) imply a negative verdict on the epistemic status of religious belief. After introducing the key theories in this area, Hans Van Eyghen explores some of the questions surrounding CSR, including: Is CSR incompatible with the truth of religious belief? How might CSR show that religious belief is unreliably formed? And, finally, does CSR undermine the justification of religious belief by religious experiences? In asking these questions, he argues that CSR does not undermine the epistemic bases for religious belief.

Forcefully demonstrating why solipsism maters, this book takes seriously the very real ramifications of solipsism – including narcissism – felt in today’s global, socially networked world and examines how solipsism makes us rethink fundamental assumptions concerning subjectivity, realism, ethical responsibility, death and mortality.

Knowledge and the Philosophy of Number
Hegel on Possibility
Keith Hossack, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
Nahum Brown, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong
What Numbers Are and How They Are Known
Keith Hossack suggests that numbers are properties, not sets, and are fundamental magnitudes discovered by the science of mathematics, just as mass, length and time are fundamental magnitudes discovered by the science of physics. According to this metaphysics, there really are numbers, and our knowledge of them is a special case of scientific knowledge.

Dialectics, Contradiction, and Modality
Whilst providing a clear and detailed examination of Hegel’s Science of Logic and the Phenomenology of Spirit, this book reads Hegel not as a philosopher of necessity, rationality, and finitude, but as a philosopher of possibility. Nahum Brown not only investigates the historical background to Hegel’s concept of immanent possibility, but further draws out the implications of his view, revealing the Hegelian underpinnings of our conception of reality and what it means to be in the world we live in.

What Self-Decoration Tells Us About Who We Are Stephen Davies, University of Auckland, New Zealand Elaborating the history, variety, pervasiveness, and function of the adornments and ornaments with which we beautify ourselves, this book takes in human prehistory, ancient civilizations, hunter-foragers, and presentday industrial societies to tell a captivating story of hair, skin, and make-up practices across times and cultures. Bringing together African, Australian and North and South American indigenous cultures, each chapter shows how modes of decoration send vitally important signals about our affiliations, backgrounds, social status and values. By using the theme of bodily adornment to unify a very diverse set of human practices, this book tells us about who we are.
Stanley Cavell and the Arts Philosophy and Popular Culture
Rex Butler, Monash University, Australia Over a 50-year career, Cavell wrote about visual art, photography, classical music, Shakespeare, the plays of Samuel Beckett and perhaps most notably Hollywood cinema, throughout the long period of cultural post-modernism. Stanley Cavell and the Arts offers an overview of Cavell’s writings on the arts, situating them within his wider philosophical practice, analysing in detail his treatment of particular art forms and looking at the work of those he has deeply shaped.

Bare Architecture A Schizoanalysis
Chris L. Smith, University of Sydney, Australia ‘A brilliant book. In Bare Architecture Chris L. Smith describes architecture as a vehicle for departing from a spatial and temporal present; allowed to stray, to be set adrift, the body arrives at new formations by letting go of the here and now. In escaping, architecture and body become dislocated senses of form and force. Written with intellectual rigour and grace, Bare Architecture is an astonishing piece of research.’ - Claudia Perren, Director, Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Germany UK June 2019 • US June 2019 • 224 pages PB 9781350138940 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781350015814 Individual eBook 9781350015807 Library eBook 9781350015791 Bloomsbury Academic
Retroactivity and Contemporary Art Craig Staff, University of Nottingham, UK
Through specific case studies of artists who strategically work with historical moments, this book examines how art from the last two decades has sought to mobilize these particular histories, and to what effect, against the backdrop of Modernism. Drawing on the art theory of Rosalind Krauss and the philosophies of Benjamin, Richter, and Agamben, Staff interprets those works that foreground some aspect of retroactivity as key artistic strategies. This book is a reflection on time within art and an indispensable read for those attempting to understand the artistic significance of history, materiality, and memory.

Transitional Aesthetics
The Invention of the Self
Uros Cvoro, University of New South Wales, Australia
Andrew Spira, Christie's Education London, UK
Contemporary Art at the Edge of Europe Transitional aesthetics are artistic strategies that interrogate ideologically loaded trajectories of cultural, social, or political transition. Examples of such trajectories include the movement from totalitarianism to democracy (post-socialism), from war to freedom and reconciliation (post-conflict), and from the edges of Europe to its centre (inclusion in the European Union). Using the way in which artists from the former Eastern bloc perceive the experience of EU integration and transition from a Soviet past as a conceptual launching pad, this book explores how artists critically inhabit a permanent state of ‘in-between’ to capture the simultaneous existence of multiple and overlapping temporalities.

P H I L O S O P H Y – Art and Aesthetics
Adornment
Personal Identity in the Age of Art The Invention of the Self: Personal Identity in the Age of Art proposes that the notion of personal identity is a psycho-social construction that has evolved over many centuries. While this idea has been widely discussed in recent years, The Invention of the Self approaches it from a completely new point of view. Rather than rely on the thinking subject’s attempts to identify itself consciously and verbally, it focuses on the traces that the self-sense has unconsciously left in the fabric of its environment in the form of non-verbal cultural conventions, co-evolving with them. Covering a millennium of western European cultural history, it amounts to an ‘anthropology of personal identity in the West’.

P H I L O S O P H Y – Art and Aesthetics
Hegel's Political Aesthetics Edited by Stefan Bird-Pollan & Vladimir Marchenkov
What is the role of art in modern society? To what extent are the beautiful and the morally good intertwined? This volume explores Hegel’s take on these ever-relevant philosophical questions and investigates three key themes: art’s contribution to modern ethical life; the loss of art’s authority in modern ethical life; and ways of thinking beyond Hegel’s analysis of art’s role in society. The aesthetic is explored through the lens of German Idealism from Kant to Hegel, ultimately placing ethics and morality at the forefront of this debate.

Ecosophical Aesthetics
Art, Ethics and Ecology with Guattari Edited by Patricia MacCormack, Anglia Ruskin University, UK & Colin Gardner Inspired by the writings of Felix Guattari, Ecosophical Aesthetics explores the many ways that aesthetics – in visual art, film and literature – act as catalysts, allowing us to see the world differently, beyond traditional modes of representation. Presented here are analyses of artworks which critique capitalism’s industrial devastation of the environment, while at the same time offering imaginative futures suggested by art. Including contributions from philosophers, theorists and artists, this book asks: How can we interact with the world in a non-dominant and non-destructive way? How can art catalyze new ethical relations with non-human entities and the environment?

The Question of Painting
Rethinking Thought with Merleau-Ponty Jorella Andrews, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK The question of painting preoccupied a major twentieth-century philosopher: the French phenomenologist, Maurice Merleau-Ponty (190761). Merleau-Ponty was at the forefront of attempts to place philosophy on a new footing by contravening the authority of Cartesian dualism and objectivist thought—an authority that continues to limit present-day intellectual, imaginative, and ethical possibilities. A central aim of The Question of Painting therefore, is to provide a closely focused, chronological account of Merleau-Ponty's unfolding project and its relationship with art. The Question of Painting concludes with an exclusive and extended conversation about the contemporary virtues of painting with artist Leah Durner.

Practical Aesthetics
Edited by Bernd Herzogenrath, University of Frankfurt, Germany This collection brings together artists and theoreticians to provide the first anthology of a new field: Practical Aesthetics. It presents different ways of thinking with forms of art, as well as new types of aesthetic research such as Media Philosophy, the audiovisual essay, and fictocriticism. In doing so, it reveals how writing about art can itself become ‘artistic’ or ‘poetic’: not only writing about artistic effects, but producing them. This takes art not as an object of analysis, but as a subject with knowledge in its own right, creating a co-composing 'conceptual interference pattern' between theory and practice.

A Theory of Minimalism Marc Botha, Durham University, UK
Marc Botha offers the first general theory of minimalism, establishing an aesthetic paradigm for rethinking realism in genuinely radical terms. In dialogue with analytic and continental thinkers, Botha develops a constellation of concepts which encapsulate the transhistorcial and transdisciplinary reach of minimalism. From the caves of early Christian ascetics to Samuel Beckett’s late prose, Botha’s bold and provocative arguments equip readers with the tools to engage critically with past, present and future minimalism, and to recognize how, in a culture caught between the poles of excess and austerity, minimalism still matters.

Aesthetics, Arts, and Politics in a Global World Daniel Herwitz, University of Michigan, USA
Focusing on art and music in diverse parts of the world, Daniel Herwitz explores a world that has largely shifted from the earlier days of nationalism, decolonization and cultural exclusion, to one of global markets and networks. Using examples from India and Mexico to South Africa, Australia and China, Herwitz argues that the cultural politics and art being produced in these places are now post-postcolonial. His original and engaging exploration of contemporary art captures the ways in which art has given way to a new form of production, altering everything from the vision to the terms of circulation.

Tom Roberts
Rupert Murdoch’s extraordinary career has no parallel. His control of Fox News is a key force in American politics. In the UK, his control of The Sun and The Times leaves politicians scrambling to get him onside. But what do we know about the man himself? This book looks closely at Rupert's father Keith, who built the family’s media power and cultivated the anti-establishment instincts that his son is known for. Roberts traces the life of the Murdochs, how Rupert Murdoch’s view of the world was formed, and assesses its impact on the media that influences our politics today.

The State of Secrecy
Spies and the Media in Britain Richard Norton-Taylor How do you report on the secret world? Richard Norton-Taylor reveals the secrets of his forty-year career as a journalist covering the world of spies and their masters in Whitehall. Early in his career, Norton-Taylor successfully campaigned against official secrecy, thereby gaining a reputation inside the Whitehall establishment, and in the outside world alike, for his relentless determination to expose wrongdoing and incompetence. His special targets have always been the security and intelligence agencies and the Ministry of Defence. Norton-Taylor was among the first of the few journalists to attack the planned invasion of Iraq in 2003, and subsequently covered for the Guardian the devastating evidence of every witness to the Chilcot inquiry. Provocative, and rich in anecdotes, The State of Secrecy is an illuminating account of the author’s experiences investigating the secret world.

The Life of John Cairncross, the Fifth Man of the Cambridge Spy Circle Geoff Andrews The Cambridge Spies are back in vogue - but John Cairncross was more of a maverick than the others in this exclusive spy circle. He worked entirely alone and was committed more to the destruction of Fascism than to the promotion of Communism. In his time at Bletchley Park during the war, he passed documents to the Soviets which went on to influence the Battle of Kursk. Now, Geoff Andrews has access to all the Cairncross papers. The discovery of Cairncross's activities in the late-1980's and the story of his confession will be told here in full for the first time.

Rachel Reeves
Roger Scruton, University of Oxford
The MPs who Changed Politics In the past 100 years, a total of 491 women have been elected to Parliament. Yet it was not until 2016 that the total number of women ever elected surpassed the number of male MPs in a single parliament. The achievements of these political pioneers have been remarkable, from the earliest suffrage campaigns, to Barbara Castle’s fight for equal pay, to Harriet Harman’s legislation on the gender pay gap. Yet the stories of so many women MPs have too often been overlooked. In this book, Rachel Reeves brings forgotten MPs out of the shadows and looks at the many battles fought by the Women of Westminster, from 1919 to 2019.

A Study in Self Delusion It was only three years ago that Christopher Booker realised what startling new light was shed on many of the issues he had covered in his career by the scientific analysis of ‘groupthink’ set out by a Yale professor of psychology more than 40 years ago. Here he applies that analysis to subjects ranging from the rise of political correctness to global warming, from the Iraq War to the real nature of the EU. The result is a truly fascinating account of why we have lost the ability to question what groupthink dictates and the capacity to think for ourselves.

We follow the triumphant nationalist leader who reconciled all in the new multiracial Zimbabwe, as he degenerates into a petty tyrant consumed by hubris, who ultimately faces an ignominious endgame at the hands of his own army.

Obasanjo and the Challenge of African Diplomacy
Steve Itugbu, for many years a foreign policy aide to Obasanjo, draws on an extensive corpus of official documents, interviews, unpublished material and first-hand experience to explore the president's multi-faceted personality in depth. In so doing, Itugbu demonstrates that Nigeria's foreign policy has suffered through a combination of personalisation - that is subjugation to the will of Obasanjo - and the failings of bureaucratic structures. The book focuses specifically on Nigeria's decision not to intervene in Darfur in 2004, which is shown to be attributable to Obasanjo's politicking and inherent focus on shoring up his own position.

Examining how international political and media discourse on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is gendered, Georgina Holmes argues that states, militaries and human rights organisations through processes of denial and revisionism, use gendered narratives for political gain, and breaks new ground in analysing the role of gender in the conflict.

Imagining the Arctic
Heroism, Spectacle and Polar Exploration Huw Lewis-Jones, Falmouth University, UK Imagining the Arctic explores the culture and politics of polar exploration and the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts and striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes and the wilderness were imagined.

Informal Nationalism After Communism
The Everyday Construction of PostSocialist Identities Edited by Abel Polese, Tallinn University, Estonia, Oleksandra Seliverstova, Emilia Pawlusz, Tallinn University, Estonia & Jeremy Morris, Aarhus University, Denmark Drawing on research on the Balkans, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, this book focuses on the role of non-traditional, non-politicised and non-elite actors in the construction of identity. Across topics as diverse as school textbooks, turbofolk and home decoration, contributors identify and analyse the ways that individuals living across the post-socialist region redefine identity on a daily basis, often by manipulating and adapting state policy. In the process they demonstrate the necessity of holistic, trans-national and interdisciplinary approaches to national identity construction rather than studies limited to a single-state territory.

Manchuria
A Concise History Mark Gamsa, Tel Aviv University, Israel As the home of the Manchu people, Manchuria has had a huge impact on the history of the modern world – whether through the Manchu emperors, a dynasty which only collapsed after WWI, the interactions between Russia and China in the 20th Century, or the invasion of Manchuria by Japan during the Second World War. Mark Gamsa seeks to re-orientate the history of the East around Manchuria – a region with much to offer for scholars of Russia, China and the East.

Thinking Like South Asians
Invites readers to explore South Asia as a place and as an idea with a sense of reflection and nuance, rather than submitting to conventional understanding of the region merely in geopolitical terms. The authors take the readers across a vast terrain of subjects such as visual culture, music, film, knowledge systems and classrooms, myth and history. In addition, they investigate forms of politics that offer possibilities for reading South Asia as a collective enterprise which has historical precedents as well as untapped ideological potential for the future.

Myung Ja Kim
Pablo de Orellana, King's College London, UK
Geopolitics, Identity and Nation-Building Myung Ja Kim examines Japan's changing national policies towards the Zainichi, an ethnically Korean community, to reveal the dynamics of alliances and alignments in East Asia. This includes the rise of China as an economic superpower, the security threat posed by North Korea and the diminishing alliance between Japan and the US. Taking a post-war historical perspective, the research reveals why the Zainichi are vital to Japan's state policy revisionist aims to increase its power internationally, and how they were used to increase the country's geopolitical leverage.

South Asia and the Great Powers
International Relations and Regional Security Edited by Sten Rynning, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark The concept of regional security is based on great power support for regional order. However, there are many pitfalls to consider: notably, the politics of contested nationalisms; the Asia-Pacific rivalry of China and the US; and India's inclinations to function - or be seen - as a benevolent hegemon for the region. Yet there are signs of renewed determination to move the region in new directions. This book, as it sets out the emerging agendas of the great powers and local powers, makes a significant contribution to a better understanding of the international relations and diplomatic politics of South Asia.

Democratic Accommodations Minorities in Contemporary India
Peter Ronald deSouza, Hilal Ahmed & Sanjeer Alam, all at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, India Analyses the complex story of the accommodation of claims, interests and rights of minorities in India. The book aims to investigate what India—being one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse nations of the world—can offer to other nations, particularly to the countries of Europe that are confronted with ethnocultural and ethno-religious assertion. This is organised along four rubrics—laws, institutions, policies and political discourse—to understand Indian democracy’s distinct response to diversity. The nuanced exploration of the Indian approach to the minority question presented in this book will advance the international debate on diversity and multiculturalism, and help policymakers in pluralistic democracies to develop their own particular strategies to deal with minority claims.

America, France, Britain, and the First Vietnam War The Road to Vietnam traces the origins of the USVietnam War back to 1945-1948, and the diplomatic relations fostered between the US, France and Vietnam, during the First Vietnam War which pitted imperial France against the anti-colonial Vietminh rebel alliance. Examining the France-Vietminh conflict through poststructuralist and postcolonial lenses, de Orellana reveals the processes by which the US and France built up the perception of Vietnam as a Communist threat. Drawing on archival diplomatic texts, the representation of political identity between diplomatic actors is examined as a cause leading up to American involvement in the First Vietnam War.

Women and Violence in India
Gender, Oppression and the Politics of Neoliberalism Tamsin Bradley, London Metropolitan University, UK Tamsin Bradley presents new research examining how different groups in India conceptualise violence against women, revealing beliefs around religion, caste and gender that render aggression socially acceptable. She also analyses the role that neoliberalism, and its corollary consumerism, play in reducing women to commodity objects for barter or exchange. Unpacking varied conservative, liberal and neoliberal ideologies active in India today, Bradley argues that they can converge unexpectedly to normalise violence against women.

Edited by Adam Roberts, University of Oxford, UK Lakshman Kadirgamar, Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister, foreshadowed his own assassination in 2005. Long before 9/11 he warned Western democracies that they were too passive about the activities on their soil of foreign terrorist movements and their front organizations. He was a strong advocate of democracy and human rights, and was uniquely effective in countering the propaganda campaigns of the separatist Tamil Tigers in his native Sri Lanka the movement which ultimately took his life. This definitive work explores the continuing relevance of his ideas for the modern world. Democracy, Sovereignty and Terror presents Kadirgamar's distinctive voice in his major speeches.

In this book, based on field work undertaken in Afghanistan itself and through engagement with postcolonial theory, Bojan Savic critiques western intervention in Afghanistan. By showing how its creation of Afghan natives as “dangerous” has created a power network which fractures the country in echoes of 19th and 20th century colonial powers in the region, Savic offers an analysis of how and by what means global security priorities have affected Afghan lives.

Britain in Egypt
Egyptian Nationalism and Imperial Strategy, 1919-1931 Jayne Gifford, University of East Anglia, UK This book follows the period after the First World War which saw the development of nationalism in Egypt – the foundation and growth of the nationalist Wafd party and the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood. Throughout this period Britain continued to control the Nile Valley – under Field Marshal Allenby and then George Lloyd – through a policy of deliberate containment of nationalism and a slow relinquishing of powers. This book will be the first to study that process in the Nile Valley in any great detail and contains previously unpublished primary sources – specifically the unseen ‘Maffey’ papers.

Al Jazeera and the Politics of Journalism
For over a decade, Al Jazeera (Arabic) occupied an unprecedented position among Arab audiences and families. However, in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings in 2011, the internal Arab political scene became profoundly fragmented, and particularly complex. Based on interviews with journalists and discourse analyses of political journalistic outputs, this book examines Al Jazeera’s language and the rhetoric adopted in discussing the complex Egyptian political scene and analyses verbal representations of different political actors and ideologies before and after the Egyptian uprising.

The Cold War, Israel and Saudi Arabia At the height of the Cold War, the Kennedy administration designed an ambitious plan for the Middle East. Its aim was to seek rapprochement with Nasser's Egypt in order to keep the Arab world neutral and contain the perceived communist threat. To offset this, Kennedy sought to grow relations with Saudi Arabia and embrace Israel's defense priorities - a decision which would begin the US-Israeli 'special relationship'. Antonio Perra shows for the first time how relations with Saudi Arabia and Israel, which would come to shape the Middle East for decades, were a by-product of Kennedy's efforts at Soviet containment.

Nuclear Iran: The Birth of an Atomic State David Patrikarakos
The Iranian nuclear crisis has dominated current affairs and geopolitics for over a decade. Yet there is little real understanding of Iran's nuclear programme, in particular its history, which is now over fifty years old. Drawing on years of research across the world, David Patrikarakos has produced the most comprehensive examination of Iran's nuclear programme - in all its forms to date. This new edition features interviews with the main actors who saw through President Obama's Iran nuclear deal, and gives the inside story of how progress has stalled under the Trump administration.

Reclaiming Byzantium
Russia, Turkey and the Archaeological Claim to the Middle East in the 19th Century Pinar Ure, Istanbul Kemerburgaz University, Turkey In 1894, Imperial Russia opened one of the world’s leading centres for Byzantine archaeology in Istanbul, the Russian Archaeological Institute – its purpose was to stake the claim that Russia was the correct heir to ‘Tsargrad’ (as Istanbul was referred to in Russian circles). Pinar Ure looks at the founding of the Russian Archaeological Institute, its aims and its place in the ‘digging-race’ which characterised the late Imperial phase of modern history. Above all she shows how the practise of history has been used as a political tool, a form of "soft power".

Turkey and the Soviet Union During WWII
Diplomacy, Discord and International Relations Onur Isci, Bilkent University, Turkey Based on newly accessible Turkish archival documents, Onur Isci's study details the deterioration of diplomatic relations between Turkey and the Soviet Union during World War II, when the relations between the two plunged to several degrees below zero. For the Russians, hostility was based on long-term apathy stemming from the enormous German investment in the Ottoman Empire; for the Turks, on the fear of Russian territorial ambitions. This book offers a new interpretation of how Russian foreign policy drove Turkey into a peculiar neutrality in the Second World War, and eventually into NATO.

Georgi Dimitrov
The Armenian Experience
Marietta Stankova, London School of Economics, UK
Gaïdz Minassian, Sciences Po, Paris Institute of Political Studies, France
A Biography
Georgi Dimitrov burst onto the international scene in 1933 as one of the Comintern operatives in Germany accused of the Reichstag fire. The Bulgarian Communist's spirited self-defence in the resulting Leipzig Trial made him a celebrity among Communists worldwide - particularly in the Soviet Union, where he became Secretary General of the Comintern after his acquittal. Popular opinion holds that this 'whirlwind', who defied Goering and the Nazis in full view of the world, subsequently became little more than a rubber stamp for Stalin. This lucid and fascinating biography - the first in English - reveals a more multifaceted treatment of Dimitrov, highlighting especially the deep complexity of his relationships with his two greatest political allies: Stalin and Tito. Using new and unpublished sources, Marietta Stankova brilliantly reconstructs the dilemmas that Dimitrov faced throughout his long and varied political career.
From Ancient Times to Independence
Armenian national identity has long been associated with what has come to be known as the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Immersing the reader in the history, culture and politics of Armenia – from its foundations as the ancient kingdom of Urartu to the modern-day Republic – Gaïdz Minassian moves past the massacres embedded in the Armenian psyche to position the nation within contemporary global politics. Minassian emphasises the need to recognise that the Armenian story began well before the Genocide and continues as an on-going modern narrative.

Peacekeeping in Albania and Kosovo
A History
Rebecca Haynes, University College London, UK For the first time in English, this book places the problems of contemporary Moldova in a long-term historical perspective. It argues that the Moldovans’ complex relations with the Russians and the West are not simply the product of the Soviet era but have their roots in earlier centuries. The book provides a political and cultural history of the growth and development of the medieval Principality of Moldova, the Principality’s partition and Russian rule in Bessarabia from 1812, Bessarabia under Romanian rule in the inter-war period, Soviet Moldova and the independent Republic of Moldova.

Crisis Response and International Interventions in the Western Balkans 1997-2001 Daan W Everts International interventions in conflict-ridden societies have left a trail of debacles behind. The limited military intervention and the civilian follow-up in Albania after the chaos in 1997 is a positive exception. Peacekeeping in Albania and Kosovo explores the concerted efforts to rebuild and modernize a society marked by its communist past, the failed coup attempt of 1998, and the influx of Kosovan refugees in 1999. The book describes how former political advisories agreed to work together, how a successful multi-ethnic police force was built, how a remarkable demilitarization of former guerrillas was achieved and how political factions came to accept the outcome of the first democratic elections.

The Croatian Spring
Nationalism, Repression and Foreign Policy Under Tito Ante Batovic Using primary sources not previously utilized by western scholars, this book documents the 'Croatian Spring' - a national and liberal movement that began in the mid-sixties after the fall of the vice president and head of the Yugoslav secret police, Aleksandar Rankovic. The author chronicles these developments of democratisation and de-centralisation of communist Yugoslavia, placing them in the wider context of the Cold War and Yugoslav relations with the Soviet Union and the United States.

Yugoslavia and Macedonia Before Tito
Between Repression and Integration Nada Boskovska, University of Zurich, Switzerland Drawing on an extensive analysis of archival material, private correspondence, and newspaper articles, Nada Boskovska provides an arresting account of the Macedonian experience of the interwar years, charting the growth of political consciousness and the often violent state-driven attempts to curb autonomy. Sketching the complex picture of nationalism within a multi-ethnic, but unitarist state through a comprehensive analysis of policy, economy, and education, Yugoslavia and Macedonia Before Tito is the first book to describe the uneasy and often turbulent relationship between a Serbian-dominated government and an increasingly politically aware Macedonian people.

Sport, Nationalism and the State Based on extensive archival research and interviews, The Politics of Football in Yugoslavia ventures across the former Yugoslavia to illustrate the myriad ways football was harnessed by an array of political forces. In Richard Mills' hands, the former Yugoslavia's stadiums become vehicles to explore the relationship between sport and the state, society, nationalism, state-building, inter-ethnic tensions and war. The book is the first indepth study of the Yugoslav game and offers a revealing new way to approach the complex history of Yugoslavia.

Moldova
Milosevic’s Serbia withdrew from Kosovo in 1999 and the province was handed over to a special UN body who governed until 2008, when the West allowed Kosovo to become independent. The aim was to erect a stable democracy, but the outcome was a fragile state, which still threatens the stability of the Balkans. Andrea Lorenzo Capussela offers an inside look at the process of building democracy in Kosovo. As head of the economics unit of Kosovo’s international supervisor, Capussela has had access to previously unknown sources and information regarding the roles of the EU and the US in the crisis.

Kosovo Divided
The EOKA Cause
Marius Calu, University College London, UK

Ethnicity, Nationalism and the Struggle for a State Kosovo Divided analyses the legal system in place in Kosovo and shows how this unique legal and political system, where ethnicities have their own legal access, is highlighting and exacerbating ethnic tensions in Kosovo itself. Based on exhaustive research, Marius Calu argues that the legal system deigned to right the wrongs of the 90s in the Balkans, in fact risks inflaming tensions in the region.

Nationalism and the Failure of Cypriot Enosis
This study explores the origins, conduct, and failure of Greek Cypriot nationalists to achieve the unification of Cyprus with Greece. Andrew Novo addresses the anti-colonial struggle in the context of: the competition for the nationalist narrative in Cyprus between the Left and Right, the duelling Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot nationalisms, the role of Turkey and Greece in the conflict, and the concerns of the British Empire during its retrenchment following the Second World War. This book argues that the strategic myopia of the enosis movement shackled the cause, defined its conduct, and was the primary reason for its failure.

Makarios
Propaganda and the Cyprus Revolt
Demetris Assos
Maria Hadjiathanasiou, University of Nicosia, Cyprus
The Revolutionary Priest of Cyprus
Rebellion, Counter-Insurgency, and the Media, 1955-59
In this first English language biography of one of the most important figures in Cypriot modern history, Demetris Assos shows how Makarios oscillated between his personal nationalist romantic idealism and the management of hard political realities on the ground, and argues a nuanced understanding of this ambivalence is crucial to contextualise and explain his actions. Assos shows how, by the 1950s, the political authority of Makarios’ position became intertwined with his spiritual power. He also unpicks the influence of the Orthodox Church on modern Cypriot history.
During the EOKA period of Greek Cypriot revolt against British colonial rule, the Greek Cypriots and the British deployed propaganda as a means of swaying allegiances, both within Cyprus and on the international scene. Propaganda and the Cyprus Revolt places new emphasis on the vital role propaganda played in turning the tide against British colonial control over Cyprus. Examining the increase of violence and coercion during this period of revolt, this book examines how the opposing sides’ mobilization of propaganda offered two alternative visions for the future of Cyprus that divided opinion, to the ultimate detriment of British counterinsurgency efforts.

The Cultural Politics of Austerity
This book analyses hitherto uncharted cultural aspects of the Greek economic crisis by exploring the connections between austerity and culture. Covering literary, artistic and visual representations of the crisis, it includes a range of chapters focusing on different aspects of the cultural politics of austerity. These include the uses of history and archaeology, the brain drain and the Greek diaspora, Greek cinema, museums, music festivals, street art and literature as well as manifestations of how the crisis has led Greeks to question cultural discourses and conceptions of identity.

The Anthropology and History of the Greek Crisis Since the 19th century, Greek financial and economic crises have been an enduring problem, most recently engulfing the European Union and EU member states. The latest crisis, beginning in 2010, has been a headline news story across the continent. With a radically different approach and methodology, this anthropological study brings new insights to our understanding of the Greek crises by combining historical material from before and after the 19 century War of Independence with extensive longitudinal ethnographic research. The ethnography covers two distinct periods - the 1980s and the current crisis years - and compares two villages in southern Greece which have responded quite differently to economic circumstances. Analysis of this divergence highlights the central point that an ideology of aspiration to work in the public sector has been a major contributor to Greece's problematic economic development.

This timely 2 volume edited collection looks at the extent and nature of global jihad, focusing on the often-exoticised hinterlands of jihad beyond the traditionally viewed Middle Eastern ‘centre’. As ISIS loses its footing in Syria and Iraq and al-Qaeda regroups, this comprehensive account will be a key work in the on-going battle to better understand the dynamics of jihad's global reality. The two volumes critically examine the various claims of connections between jihadist terrorism in the ‘periphery’, remote Islamist insurgencies of the ‘periphery’ and the global jihad. Each volume draws on experts in each of the geographies in question.

Jihadist Terror
New Threats, New Responses Edited by Anthony Richards, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK The past 18 months have seen a radical increase in incidents of jihadist terrorism within the United Kingdom – from the Manchester Arena attack, to the Houses of Parliament, to London Bridge. As a result, there are renewed calls to invigorate a proper national conversation about the causes of, and the responses to, this particular terrorist problem. This book identifies policy and research gaps from an evidence-based perspective – it analyses what we know, what we don’t know and what we need to know in relation to understanding and countering the jihadist terrorist threat.

The Hybrid Age
The Fourth Geneva Convention for Civilians
Brin Najžer
Gilad Ben-Nun, University of Leipzig, Germany
The Hybrid Age analyses the phenomenon of hybrid warfare through theoretical frameworks and a range global case studies from the 2006 Lebanon War to the Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014.
The Fourth Geneva Convention, signed in 1949, defines necessary humanitarian protections for civilians during armed conflict and occupation. How did the world draft and legislate this landmark in humanitarian international law? This book draws on archival research across seven countries to bring together the Cold War interventions, founding motives and global idealisms that shaped its conception. Gilad Ben-Nun also looks at how the convention has been applied or circumvented in different cases including: the 2009 Gaza War; the war crimes tribunal in the former Yugoslavia; Nicaragua vs. the United States; and the conflict in Syria.

Britain’s Cold War
The Unknown Gladstone
Nicholas Barnett, Swansea University, UK
Kenneth D. Brown, Queen's University, Belfast
Culture, Modernity and the Soviet Threat The cultural history of the Cold War has been characterized as an explosion of fear and paranoia, based on very little actual intelligence. Here, Nicholas Barnett looks at art and design, opinion polls, the Mass Observation movement, popular fiction and newspapers to show exactly how British people felt about the Soviet Union and the Cold War. In uncovering new primary source material, Barnett shows exactly how this seeped into the art, literature, music and design of the period.

Herbert Gladstone (1854-1930) was the only one of the sons of the renowned 19th century Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone to enjoy a significant political career in his own right. Yet he has been generally relegated to the wings of history's stage, destined to remain permanently in the shadow of his illustrious parent. In exploring the intimate connection between Herbert Gladstone's public and private lives this new biography, the first for eighty years, reveals an unambitious, self-effacing man of faith and throws new light not only on his own career but also on significant episodes in British Victorian and early-twentieth century history.

The Labour Church
Maurice Thorez
Jacqueline Turner, University of Reading, UK
John Bulaitis
Religion and Politics in Britain 1890-1914 The Labour Church was an organisation fundamental to the British socialist movement during the formative years of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and Labour Party between 1891 and 1914. It was founded by the Unitarian Minister John Trevor in Manchester in 1891 and grew rapidly thereafter. This book provides an analysis of the Labour Church, its religious doctrine, its socio-political function and its role in the cultural development of the early socialist arm of the labour movement. It includes a detailed examination of the Victorian morality and spirituality upon which the life of the Labour Church was built. As such, this book brings together two major controversies of late-Victorian Britain: the emergence of independent working-class politics and the decline of traditional religion in a work which will be essential reading for all those interested in the history of the labour movement.

A Biography
Maurice Thorez (1900-1964) was a major figure in the history of twentieth-century France and European Communism for over three decades. Under his leadership, the French Communist Party (PCF) became France's largest political party and one of the most important communist parties in the West. This book is based on a wealth of original source material, including Thorez's diaries and notebooks. John Bulaitis outlines how Thorez's political life intersected with and was shaped by key historical events. At its heart, the book explores the paradox of the mass communist movement in France: its ability to fuse attachment to the French nation with fervent loyalty to the Soviet Union and Stalinist practices.

The Idea of Central Europe
A Question of Inequality
Otilia Dhand, Teneo Intelligence
Christopher Steed, University of Southampton, UK
Geopolitics, Culture and Regional Identity
Central Europe is one of the key notions of classical geopolitics yet it has always been a somewhat elusive concept. Otilia Dhand provides a critical examination of the concept of Central Europe, from its early inception to the present day. Making extensive use of archival material, she shows how successive manifestations of Central Europe - of whatever vintage - have failed to bring about their intended changes on the international structure, and how customary claims about Central Europe are not supported by the original source material.

The Life of Herbert Gladstone, 1854-1930
The Politics of Equal Worth
Despite a wealth of research around inequality, most studies have concentrated on its quantitative aspects. In A Question of Inequality, Christopher Steed is concerned with exploring why inequality matters, what it means for those who find themselves victims of it, and what can be done about it. He probes what it means to experience inequality, drawing out case studies on the effects of poverty. In proposing a theory of social relativity the author provides new insights into the effects and meaning of inequality, and makes an original and important contribution to a key issue facing the world today.

The Presidential Image
Influential fundraising groups and senators in the US made enormous efforts in the First Afghan War to present the Mujahedeen as ‘freedom fighters’ – even while the CIA secretly armed them with surface to air missiles and other weapons. Jacqueline Fitzgibbon, through a forensic investigation of the American PR of the period, argues that this militarised and fractured Afghan society for a generation. This book will look at American efforts to suppress any reports which showed these forces as anti-western and instead sought to portray them, in an extremely dangerous choice, as an example of American values in action.

The Oil Counter-Revolution of the 1980s
Compared to the much-debated 1973 'oil shock', the 'countershock' has not received the same degree of attention, even though its legacy has shaped the presentday energy scenario. This volume is the first to put the oil 'countershock' of the mid-1980s into historical perspective. In particular, it highlights the crucial interaction between the oil counter-shock and the political 'counterrevolution' against state intervention in economic management, put forward by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the same period.

Women and Borders

Refugees, Migrants and Communities
Borders - whether settled or contested, violent or calm, closed or open - may have a direct, and often acute, human impact. This book locates gender and violence along geographical edges and critically examines the gendered experiences of women as global border residents and border crossers. Broadly, it explores two questions. First, what are women's experiences of engaging with borders? Second, where are women positioned in the theory and practice of marking, remarking and demarking these margins?

A History
For Marxists, imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. Critical analysis of imperialism has been a feature of Marxism throughout the 20th century. Murray Noonan here provides the first complete analysis of Marxist theories of imperialism in over two decades. He analyses and compares 'Classical', 'Neo' and 'Globalisation-era' Marxist theories of imperialism, moving chronologically, tracking the origins of imperialism theorised by J.A. Hobson at the beginning of the 20th century up to the present day. Through a detailed scholarly analysis of the history and evolution of these theories, Noonan offers vital new perspectives on imperialist theory and its relevance and application in the 21st century.

Religions of Beijing offers an intimate portrayal of lived religion in 18 different religious communities in greater Beijing. Graduate students at Minzu University of China spent one year immersed in the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routines of these communities, “writing with” the experiences and perspectives of their practitioners. Each chapter was then translated into English, with students at Drake University (Des Moines, Iowa) facilitating this process. The result is a bi-lingual book (Mandarin, English) that reveals to Chinese- and English-speaking readers the vibrant diversity of lived religion in contemporary Beijing. Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, Islam and folk religion are covered.

The Culture of Giving in Myanmar

Buddhist Offerings, Reciprocity and Interdependence

Religions of the World in China's Capital City
Soul of the Little Red Dot
This book examines the culture of giving in Myanmar, and explores the pivotal role that Buddhist monastic members occupy in creating a platform for civil society. This book extends the discussions of Buddhist offerings that normally focus on the one-way flow of goods and services from the laity to the monastic community, into an understanding of wider Buddhist cultures, and examines how deeply the reciprocal transactions of giving and receiving in society – or interdependent living – are implicated in the Buddhist faith.
This is the first study of spirituality in Singapore, showing how important the city state is for understanding contemporary global configurations of urban space, religion, and spirituality. The author highlights how the formal religions—temples, churches, and mosques—have been confined to allotted sites on the map of Singapore, whereas various “spiritual” organizations, particularly of Hindu origins and headed by a guru, still continue to operate as “societies” classified by the government with other “clubs.”

Jack Kerouac, Buddhism, and the American Search for Enlightenment
Sarah Haynes, Western Illinois University, USA Sarah Haynes provides a detailed analysis of Jack Kerouac’s unpublished diaries and Buddhist writing alongside the Buddhism presented in his published works. Kerouac’s involvement with Buddhism is traditionally accepted to have occurred between 19531958. However, his unpublished diaries reveal that he continued to write about Buddhism until at least 1967. The book is structured chronologically, exploring Kerouac's pre-enlightenment years (pre1953); his Buddhist period (1953-1958); and his post-Buddhist period (1958-1969). It provides a rich discussion of the significance, impact and legacy of Kerouac’s religious vision on the development of Buddhism in America.

Creating the Culture of Peace A Clarion Call for Individual and Collective Transformation
Anwarul K. Chowdhury & Daisaku Ikeda Based on the extensive personal and professional experiences of two high-profile thinkers and activists, these rich and varied dialogues discuss how peace can be achieved in the world. The dialogues provide ideas on the key challenges that face the modern age: terrorism, nuclear weapons, global warming, financial crises, youth alienation and the materialist drive. The discussants come from very different positions – one a Buddhist philosopher, educator and leader; the other a U.N. diplomat renowned for his work in development and human rights. Yet they are united in their conviction that young people are the means to achieving positive change.

Modern Hinduism in Text and Context
Beyond East and West
Edited by John S. Harding, University of Lethbridge, Canada, Victor Sogen Hori, McGill University, Canada & Alexander Soucy, Saint Mary's University, Canada Buddhism in the Global Eye focuses on the importance of a global context and transnational connections to understand the Buddhist modernizing movements, as well as the diverse manifestations of any particular Buddhist group in the contemporary context. This requires moving beyond both overt and implicit East-West binaries.The case studies, insights, and theoretical reflections advance these objectives in dialogue with each other and introduce new research that shows the porousness of categories, such as "modern", "global", and "contemporary" Buddhism. The contributors show how Asian agency has been central to the development of modern Buddhism.

Christianity and Belonging in Shimla, North India
Sacred Entanglements of a Himalayan Landscape Jonathan Miles-Watson, Durham University, UK This book presents a unique ethnographic account of material religion in the Himalayan city of Shimla. The author shows that key to understanding the city is the contemporary material religion of the Christian communities, who are marginal (by profession) yet metaphorically and literally central to the contemporary life of the city. The book builds upon over a decade of research to present an ethnographic account of devotional practices that speaks to contemporary developments in the fields of both the anthropology of Christianity and material religion.

Food, Festival and Religion Materiality and Place in Italy
Francesca Ciancimino Howell, Naropa University, Colorado, USA Food, Festival and Religion explores how communities in northern Italy find a restorative sense of place through foodways, costuming, and other forms of materiality. Festivals explored by the author vary geographically from the northern rural corners of Italy to the fashionable heart of urban Milan. The origins of these lived religious events range from Christian to vernacular Italian witchcraft and contemporary Paganism, which is rapidly growing in Italy. Through extensive ethnographic research and fieldwork data, this book demonstrates that popular Italian festivals are ritualized, liminal spaces, and contributes greatly to the fields of religious, performance and ritual studies UK February 2020 • US February 2020 • 224 pages • 10 bw illus PB 9781350150867 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781350020863 Individual eBook 9781350020870 Library eBook 9781350020887 Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Material Religion • Bloomsbury Academic

Material Devotion in a South Indian Poetic World Leah Elizabeth Comeau, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, USA
The poets of Hindu devotion are known for the passion and intimacy with which they seek and celebrate their deities. While verses over a thousand years old are still treasured, translated, and performed by contemporary devotees and scholars alike, little attention has been paid to the evocative sensorial worlds contained within and referenced by these literary compositions. Material Devotion in a South Indian Poetic World contributes new methods for the study and interpretation of material religion as it occurs within and through literary landscapes.

Qur'anic Matters
Material Mediations and Religious Practice in Egypt Natalia Suit, East Tennessee State University, USA Qur’anic Matters spans the time between two important technological shifts – the introduction of printed Qur’anic books in Egypt in the early nineteenth century and the digitization of the Qur’an almost two centuries later. Throughout, Natalia Suit weaves together the theological, legal, economic, and social “presences” of the Qur’anic books into a single account in which the message and the materiality of the object that mediates it are not separate from each other, nor are they separate from the human bodies with which they come in contact.

Becoming Queer and Religious in Malaysia and Singapore Sharon A. Bong, Monash University Malaysia, Malaysia
Marek Sullivan challenges the link between secularization and rationalization, arguing for a more sensual genealogy of secularity. Sullivan examines how theorists of the secular rely on excessively rationalistic conceptions of Enlightenment thought, and addresses critiques that focus on the importance of religious constructions of Oriental religions for the genealogy of secularity. Sullivan also identifies a distinctively secular—yet impassioned—form of Orientalism that emerged in the 18th century that resorted to racist, Orientalist and emotional tropes. By exposing the Enlightenment as a nationalistic and affective movement, Sullivan undermines modern nationalist appeals to the Enlightenment as a mark of European distinction.
Sharon Bong explores the personal journeys of several GLBTIQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) persons negotiating the tensions between living out their sexuality and religiosity in the context of Malaysia and Singapore. Bong presents a broad spectrum of queer strategies emerging from participants’ narratives of ‘becoming’ which encompass becoming Asian, becoming postcolonial, becoming sexually religious and religiously sexual and becoming ‘persons’. These strategies are used in the book as counterpoints to nationhood narratives of becoming Asian or postcolonial, which are still mired in religious-sponsored and colonial-inherited sexual regulations.

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and Contemporary Shrine Cultures Merin Shobhana Xavier, Ithaca College, USA
This book sheds light on one of the major Sufi movements in North America, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, and the first to establish a Sufi shrine in America. Through extensive ethnographic data, the author shows that the followers of Bawa in the United States and Sri Lanka shared far more similarities in the relationships they formed with spaces, Bawa, and Sufism than differences, which challenges the accepted conceptualization of Sufism in North America as having a distinct “Americanness.” These findings challenge scholars to re-consider how Sufism is developing in the modern American landscape as well as globally.

Identity and Performance Edited by Ibrahim Abraham, Australian National University, Australia With perspectives from musicology, sociology, history, and theology and situating Christian punk within the modern history of Christianity, and the rapidly changing culture of spirituality and secularity, this book illustrates how Christian punk continues punk’s autonomous and oppositional creative practices, but from within a typically traditional evangelical morality. Analyzing straight edge Christian abstinence and punk-friendly churches, it also focuses on gender performance within a subculture dominated by young men in a time of changing and contested gender roles and ideologies.

Sacred Spaces and Transnational Networks in American Sufism
S. Sayyid, University of Leeds, UK This book explores the Muslim question from a philosophical perspective, ranging in historical focus from early effects of colonialism to present day Arab Spring events. In doing so, it explores some of the philosophical assumptions that frame the way in which the rise of Muslim political identity throughout the planet presents challenges which are not only cultural and geopolitical but also conceptual. In a series of reflections, Islamism as Philosophy teases out some of the complexities of the emergence of Muslim political identities, complexities which are often covered up by the latest screaming headline. This book argues that a world in which a quarter of the population seems increasingly conscious of its "Musliminess" cannot be peaceful, harmonious or just without careful attention being paid to the Muslim question.

Spousal Violence Among World Christians Silent Scandal
Elizabeth Koepping, University of Edinburgh, UK This book takes a global approach to violence between husbands and wives in faith contexts. It focuses primarily on Christians, and uses anthropological, theological and historical methods which intersect with and are challenged by lay and ordained women and men from eighteen countries. Drawing on ethnographic research over several decades from around the world, Elizabeth Koepping presents testimonies from abused women, as well as theological justification for spousal abuse from the perpetrators. She argues that violence against the (female) spouse can be understood as proper behaviour by manly men towards unruly wives, rather than an insult to the Image of God in all persons.

Judaism and the Visual Image A Jewish Theology of Art
Melissa Raphael, University of Gloucestershire, UK Judaism and the Visual Image argues for a Jewish theology of image that, among other things, helps us re-read the creation story in Genesis 1 and to question why images of Jewish women as religious subjects appear to be doubly suppressed by the Second Commandment, when images of observant male Jews have become legitimate, even iconic, representations of Jewish holiness. Raphael further suggests that 'devout beholding' of images of the Holocaust is a corrective to post-Holocaust theologies of divine absence from suffering that are infused by a sub-theological aesthetic of the sublime. Raphael concludes by proposing that the relationship between God and Israel composes itself into a unitary dance or moving image by which each generation participates in a processive revelation that is itself the ultimate work of Jewish art.

Intersections of the Popular and the Sacred in Music
Antti-Ville Kärjä, Music Archive Finland, Helsinki, Finland This book examines the interrelations of the ‘popular’ and the ‘sacred’ in the context of music. As well as discussing conventional forms of ‘popular music’, Antti-Ville Kärjä questions how dimensions of the ‘popular’ are present in different musics, and how the ‘sacred’ helps in reconceptualising these dimensions, enabling an in-depth cultural analysis of music. It features topics such as music in relation to its mythological etymological roots and forms of religious music and their interrelations to definitions of the ‘popular’.

Religion in the Age of Obama
Edited by Juan M. Floyd-Thomas, Vanderbilt Divinity School, USA & Anthony B. Pinn, Rice University, USA
Catherine O’Brien draws on the structure of Dante’s Divine Comedy to explore Scorsese’s feature films from Who’s that knocking at my door (1967-69) to Silence (2016). This is the first full-length study to focus on the trajectory of faith and doubt during this period, taking very seriously the oft-quoted words of the director himself: ‘My whole life has been movies and religion. That’s it. Nothing else.’ Films discussed include GoodFellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, Taxi Driver and Mean Streets, as well as the more recent Wolf of Wall Street.
Religion in the Age of Obama argues that there has been a complex religious and moral underpinning to the Obama presidency and subsequent debates regarding his tenure in the White House that has not been fully explored. This is the first book to focus solely on the significance of religion during President Obama’s years in the White House, both in the United States and internationally. It provides an analysis of Obama’s religiosity and its relationship to his vision of public life, as well as the way in which the general ethos of religiosity and non-religiosity has shifted over the past decade.

The Impact of Ritual on Child Cognition
Veronika Rybanska, University of Agder, Norway In this book, Veronika Rybanska explores how ritual participation affects children’s cognitive abilities. Rybanska argues that, far from being a simple matter of mindless copying, ritual participation in children requires rigorous computation by cognitive mechanisms. The implications of this research suggest that we should rethink multiple aspects of child-rearing and educational policy, and suggests that some form of rituals, though not necessarily religious, may be essential for the cultivation of future mindedness.

A Constructive Critique of Religion
Encounters between Christianity, Islam and Non-religion in Secular Societies
R E L I G I O U S S T U D I E S – Religion and Society
Gemini and the Sacred
Edited by Mia Lövheim, Uppsala University, Sweden & Mikael Stenmark, Uppsala University, Sweden Increasing religious diversity and the associated confrontations between those with different worldviews means there is a pressing need to engage with how constructive interaction and critique can be developed across diverse interests. Contributors to this collection tackle this challenge through an analysis of the reasons underpinning a critique of religion in institutional contexts of secular democratic societies. They explore how social and cultural conditions shaping these institutions enable and structure a critical and constructive engagement across diverging worldviews.

Religious Pluralism and the City Inquiries into Postsecular Urbanism
Edited by Helmuth Berking, TU Darmstadt, Germany, Silke Steets, Independent Researcher & Jochen Schwenk, TU Darmstadt, Germany "Anyone interested in a multitude of pressing contemporary sociological and political issues will find this book both intriguing and of great value." Mitchell Cohen, City University of New York, USA The book argues that we are seeing the pluralization of religion, the co-existence of different religious worldviews, and the simultaneity of secular and religious institutions that shape everyday life. These particular constellations of "religious pluralism" are, above all, played out in cities.

Religion, Migration and Globalization
Space and Identity in the Congolese Diaspora David Garbin, University of Kent, UK This book takes as a case study the Congolese Christian diaspora in the UK and US to explore the making of religious spaces and transnational networks in an era of globalisation. Drawing on extensive ethnographic data, David Garbin analyses the social meaning of the religious presence and territorialisation in a context of economic and socio-spatial marginalisation for Congolese migrants who had (and for some, still have) to address the predicaments of displacement, relocation and the status of being ‘a minority within a minority’ as Francophone black African migrants in English-speaking countries.

The Critical Study of NonReligion
Discourse, Identification and Locality Christopher R. Cotter, University of Edinburgh, UK This book acts as a bridge between two increasingly entrenched positions in contemporary Religious Studies—one that is interested in understanding ‘religion in the real world’, and the other in understanding the discursive processes by which that statement makes sense, or ‘critical religion.’ This book details an approach which avoids constructing ‘religion’ as in some way unique, whilst also fully incorporating ‘non-religious’ subject positions into Religious Studies. It provides a rich engagement with a wide variety of theoretical material, rooted in empirical data, which will be of interest to those interested in critical, sociological and anthropological study of the contemporary non-/religious landscape.
Modern Christian Theology
Christopher Ben Simpson, Lincoln Christian University, USA Christopher Ben Simpson tells the story of modern Christian theology against the backdrop of the history of modernity itself. The book explores the many ways that theology became modern while seeing how modernity arose in no small part from theology. These intertwined stories progress through four parts.This second edition includes a chapter on modern Eastern Orthodox theology and its development, as well as a wide range of pedagogical features, welcomed by instructors and students.

Christian Doctrine
God, Creation, and Salvation
Geoff Thompson, University of Divinity, Australia
Oliver D. Crisp, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA
A Guide for the Perplexed Geoff Thompson addresses multiple questions on the role of doctrine in the Christian faith, in an engaging narrative which explores the origins of doctrine in the various catechetical, polemical and apologetic pressures the church encountered as it sought to articulate and teach the faith confessed in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen. To provide an overview of some of the classic and variously influential doctrinal projects, he employs brief case studies that illustrate the overlapping influences of contexts (ecclesial and cultural) and tradition on doctrinal discourse.

A Christology of Liberation in an Age of Globalization and Exclusion Robert J. Rivera, St. John's University, USA
Robert J. Rivera critically engages the contemporary challenges of neo-liberal globalization. Concerned with the ways in which neo-liberal processes of globalization can, and do, exclude the most vulnerable, Rivera offers a Christology of liberation that is rooted in, and privileges, the lived realities of the excluded. This Christology, Rivera argues, is a critical resource that enables the excluded to resist, redeem, and re-imagine globalization. In dialogue with the social sciences and decolonial philosophies, Rivera puts forward an account that is suggestive of the ways in which theologians can respond to contemporary challenges of injustice in our world today.
Studies in Reformed Theology
This collection of studies in theology is written from the perspective of an “aspirational Anselmianism”— that is, from within the Christian faith, and seeking greater understanding of the doctrinal deposit of that faith. The volume focuses on issues concerning the task of theology, studies on God and His external work in creation, and on Christ and salvation.

God, Evil and the Limits of Theology Karen Kilby, Durham University, UK
Karen Kilby explores the doctrine of the Trinity and issues of evil, suffering and sin. She offers a critique of the lack of respect for mystery found in the most popular Trinitarian thinking of our time. Kilby gives an apophatic reading of Aquinas on the Trinity and offers a distinct next step in the sequence on the Trinity – the appeal of social doctrines of the Trinity lies principally in their ecclesial and political relevance.

Werner G. Jeanrond, University of Oslo, Norway Jeanrond examines various texts by Joseph Ratzinger, Robert Jenson and Anthony Kelly to fully illustrate the subject of hope through a contemporary eschatological viewpoint. The distinction between human hopes, hope as a virtue, and radical hope reopens the conversation on important Christian eschatological symbols, including judgement, heaven and hell. The Christian praxis of hope, Jeanrond shows, can make an important contribution to the multi-religious conversations on hope, death and the human future in a globalized world.

God and Knowledge
Herman Bavinck's Theological Epistemology Nathaniel Gray Sutanto, Covenant City Church, Indonesia Does theology belong within the academy or the church? How do Christian teachings – on God, revelation, and humanity – contribute to the activity of knowing? This volume offers a fresh reading of Bavinck’s theological epistemology and argues that his Trinitarian and organic worldview utilizes an eclectic range of sources. Sutanto unfolds Bavinck’s understanding of what he considered to be the two most important aspects of epistemology: the character of the sciences and the correspondence between subjects and objects.

The Spirit Baptized Church A Dogmatic Inquiry
Frank D.

Frank D. Macchia suggests that the Son fulfilled this mission by pouring forth the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost (and continues to fulfill it), incorporating others into himself and into the love of the Father.

The Spirit of Atonement
Pentecostal Contributions and Challenges to the Christian Traditions Steven M. Studebaker, McMaster Divinity College, Canada The book moves Pentecostal theology of the atonement from a primarily Christological and crucicentric register to one that articulates the pneumatological and holistic nature of Pentecostal praxis. Studebaker examines the irony of Classical Pentecostalism relying on the Christocentric of Protestant evangelical atonement theology to articulate its experience of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Pneumatological nature of Pentecostal praxis. He then develops a Pentecostal theology of atonement based on the biblical narrative of the Spirit of Pentecost and returns to re-imagine an expanded vision of Pentecostal praxis based on the theological formation of the biblical narrative.

Pentecostal Rationality
Epistemology and Theological Hermeneutics in the Foursquare Tradition Simo Frestadius, Regents Theological College, UK Offers the theological methodology of Pentecostal rationality from a Foursquare perspective. Simo Frestadius first analyses and evaluates some of the main contemporary Pentecostal rationalities and epistemologies to date, with a particular emphasis on the works of Amos Yong and James K.A. Smith, before proposing that Alasdair MacIntyre’s tradition-focused and historically-minded narrative approach is conducive in providing a more tradition-constituted Pentecostal rationality. Frestadius not only articulates a tradition-specific Pentecostal rationality of Biblical Pragmatism, but also provides the first intellectual history of a major British classical Pentecostal denomination.

“Through its insightful interpretations of Augustine and Barth and its deep understanding of the later stages of life, this wonderful book reclaims aging as a moral and spiritual practice, not only for the aging themselves but also for those who accompany them.

A History of Anglican Exorcism
Deliverance and Demonology in Church Ritual Francis Young, Independent Scholar, UK Exorcism is more widespread in contemporary England than perhaps at any other time in history. The Anglican Church is by no means the main provider of this ritual, which predominantly takes place in independent churches. However, every one of the Church of England dioceses in the country now designates at least one member of its clergy to advise on casting out demons. Such 'deliverance ministry' is in theory made available to all those parishioners who desire it. Yet, as Francis Young reveals, present-day exorcism in Anglicanism is an unlikely historical anomaly. It sprang into existence in the 1970s within a church that earlier on had spent whole centuries condemning the expulsion of evil spirits as either Catholic superstition or evangelical excess.

A Politics of Grace
Metaphysics of Mystery
Christiane Alpers, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany
Marijn de Jong, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
Hope for Redemption in a PostChristendom Context "This is the best book on Edward Schillebeeckx’s theology that I have read. Alpers demonstrates that Schillebeeckx presents a starting point for political theology today, in our secular age, that can stand up against the alternatives on offer. Combining theoretical rigor and theological sophistication, with this book Alpers establishes herself as a leader among her generation of political theologians." Vincent Lloyd, Villanova University, USA.
This study argues that contemporary theology needs a reconceptualised form of metaphysical theology to readdress this question of universality. In order to develop such a new metaphysical theology, de Jong turns to the work of Karl Rahner and Edward Schillebeeckx. Presenting a new perspective on their theological methods, he demonstrates that these theologians employ a dialectical interplay of hermeneutical and metaphysical arguments yielding a modest theological metaphysics.

Richard Hooker
Ressourcement Theology
Paul Anthony Dominiak, University of Cambridge, UK
Edited by Patricia Kelly, Leeds Trinity Unviersity, UK
The Architecture of Participation
Explores how the metaphysical concept of participation acts as the key concept that informs and holds together Hooker’s major work. Dominiak analyses how Hooker uses the architectural framework of ‘participation in God’, setting the stage for Hooker’s understanding of the concept and how it is used in the Lawes. He explores Hooker’s use of metaphysical architecture of participation, the forming of laws, extensive and intensive participation, cognitive participation and the politics of the subject. The volume shows how Hooker provides a salutary resource for modern ecumenical dialogue and contemporary political retrievals of participation.

James Alison and a Girardian Theology
A Theology of Preaching and Dialectic
John P. Edwards
Aaron P. Edwards, Cliff College, UK
Conversion, Theological Reflection and Induction This book connects “mimetic theory”, as developed by René Girard, to the practice of theological reflection within Christian theology. John P. Edwards explores the work of the contemporary, Catholic theologian and ‘Girardian’, James Alison, both as an under-examined bridge for bringing mimetic theory into conversation with Christian theological method and as one of the most compelling and refreshing theological voices of the 21st century.

Revisiting the Question of Universality through Rahner and Schillebeeckx
Scriptural Tension, Heraldic Proclamation and the Pneumatological Moment "Should preachers feel incapacitated by the apparent lack of unity in the biblical message? In this wide-ranging study, Aaron Edwards urges preachers to shake off their lack of confidence and instead to trust that they have been called to preach with abandon in the power of the Spirit – even if the Sunday morning message may seem imbalanced. Edwards’s theology of preaching offers solid reasons to proclaim the gospel with authority in the midst of an apparent cacophony of voices."

New Essays in Anabaptist Identity and Theological Method
Edited by Laura Schmidt Roberts, Fresno Pacific University, USA, Paul Martens, Baylor University, USA & Myron Penner, Trinity Western University, Canada A critical yet vibrant reconstruction of Anabaptist identity and theological method, in the wake of recent revelations of the sexual abuse perpetrated by the most influential Anabaptist theologian of the twentieth century, John Howard Yoder. Attempting to liberate Anabaptist theology and identity from the constricting vision appropriated and reformulated by Yoder, these essays refuse the determinative categories of the last half century supplied by and carried beyond Harold Bender’s The Anabaptist Vision. While still under the shadow of decades of trauma, a recontexualized conversation about Anabaptist theology and identity emerges in this volume that is ecumenically engaged, philosophically astute, psychologically attuned, and resolutely vulnerable.

John: An Introduction and Study Guide
A Theocratic Yehud?
Issues of Government in a Persian Province Jeremiah W. Cataldo, Grand Valley State University, USA Among the variety of social-political reconstructions of Persian-period Yehud, one "consensus" stands out - one which states that the Jerusalem priesthood enjoyed a prominent level of authority, symbolized in the Jerusalem temple. Unfortunately, this leads easily into conclusions of a theocracy in Yehud. The problem, in part, is due to the immediate association of priests assumed to be authoritative with that of a theocratic governing structure.

This book analyzes the thirteen historical psalms (3, 7, 18, 34, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63, 142) in the Psalter that refer to crucial moments in King David's life as recorded in the Samuel narrative (1 Sam 16-1 Kings 2). Because most Psalms research focuses on the original setting, the so-called Sitz-im-Leben, of these late additions to the book of Psalms, they have received little attention.

Covenant Relationships and the Editing of the Hebrew Psalter Adam D. Hensley, Australian Lutheran College, Australia
An examination of the relationship between the Davidic covenant and Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants reflected in the editorial shape and shaping of the Masoretic Psalter. Hensley proposes that the editors of the Psalter understood these covenants as a theological unity, whose common fulfilment centres on an anticipated royal successor to David. To test this hypothesis Hensley examines the Psalter’s references and allusions to covenant(s) in light of editorial evidence.

The Land of Israel in the Book of Ezekiel Wojciech Pikor, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland

Pikor examines the motif of land in its literary and historical contexts and in relation to the oracles of salvation in chapters 34—39 as well as the vision of the new Israel and the return of Yahweh’s Glory to the temple.

The Sinai Covenant in the Postexilic Period
Bautch's point of departure is the return from the Exile, which is presented as an opportunity for Jews to interpret anew the relationship between God and Israel. Central to Bautch's argument is that post-exilic writers used a paradigm that was essentially that of the pre-exilic Mosiac covenant. The book describes the process whereby the Mosaic covenant was renovated and updated and examines the Mosaic covenant as a dominant paradigm. In this discussion, familiar topoi of Second Temple Judaism such as penitential prayer, creation theology, and kinship ethos are shown to be integral to a contemporary concept of creation.

Collections, Codes, and Torah
The Re-characterization of Israel's Written Law Michael LeFebvre, Independent Scholar Scholars of biblical law are already widely agreed that ancient Israel did not draft law-texts for legislative purposes. Little attention has yet been given to explaining how and when later Judaism did come to regard Torah as legislative. As a result, the current consensus (that Ezra introduced legislative uses of Torah) is based on assumptions which have been never tested. This study steps into that crucial gap, critiques and challenges the current consensus, and presents an alternative hypothesis.

Antti Laato, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Laato seeks out the early roots of Zion theology through comparison of the Psalms with Ugaritic and other ancient Near Eastern material. In addition Laato argues that Zion theology is closely related to two specific biblical events, the architectural details of the Temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6-7) and the narrative around the Ark of the Covenant in 2 Sam 6. From this Laato builds an argument for a possible setting in Jerusalem at the time of David and Solomon for the Zion theology that emerges in the Psalms.

Bertolt Brecht and the David Fragments (1919-1921) An Interdisciplinary Study
David J. Shepherd, The University of Dublin & Nicholas E.

Drawing Brecht's personal diaries and notebooks, and on theatrical experiments conducted with an ensemble and the David fragments themselves, (published in English here for the first time), the authors offer new insights into the early Brecht: a writer entranced but not enchanted by the biblical David and utterly committed to translating the biblical tradition into his own evolving theatrical idiom.

Searching for Sarah in the Second Temple Era
Images in the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, the Genesis Apocryphon, and the Antiquities Joseph McDonald, Brite Divinity School, USA Seeking to build upon recent scholarship based on Biblical women, Joseph McDonald uses a character-centered literary approach to read the story of Sarah as it was told and retold in the Second Temple period. McDonald offers an alternative to the usual approaches to “rewritten Bible” narratives, which often emphasize near-context, synoptic comparison of retold stories and their scriptural precursors, arguing that examination of retold narratives as narratives reveals important aspects of their internal literary effects, that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Carruthers analyses the complex and astute interrogation of political life in such festival and artworks through theories of sovereignty, law, precarity and hospitality by key political thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, and Jacques Rancière.

Validity, Method, and Purpose in Comparing Traditions Edited by John M.G. Barclay, University of Durham, UK & Benjamin G.

Addressing these queries at both a theoretical, hermeneutical level, and through case-studies of actual examples, this book provides much needed and up-to-date methodological resource for New Testament studies.

Kelber locates her approach squarely within the framework of modernity and concludes that "Malbon's supremely creative achievement has been the employment of modern, narrative critical tools with a view toward uncovering the fecundity of the Gospel of Mark.

'Hand this man over to Satan'
Commemorative Identities
David Raymond Smith, University of Aberdeen, UK
Mary B. Spaulding, Manchester Wesley Research Centre, UK
Curse, Exclusion and Salvation in 1 Corinthians 5
Jewish Social Memory and the Johannine Feast of Booths
1 Corinthians 5:5 is a curious passage which has been variously interpreted by scholars. For some, it denotes a magical curse which is designed to cause the physical death of the sinner. Others have found such an interpretation unpersuasive. Instead, they maintain that Paul's words at verse five are to be understood as a metaphor for exclusion from the Corinthian community. So, the errant Corinthian is not to die by a curse, but is to be excluded.
Commemorative Identities represents a significantly new approach to the issue of replacement/ abrogation vs. continuation of Jewish thought patterns and practices among Jewish Christ-followers as they are addressed by the Johannine author. Previous studies have been unable to elucidate a comprehensible argument to support continuation of commemoration in the face of explicit Temple replacement terminology in the Gospel.

The Library of New Testament Studies Early Christian Literature and Intertextuality Volume 1: Thematic Studies
Edited by Craig A. Evans, Acadia Divinity College, Canada & H. Daniel Zacharias, Acadia Divinity College, Canada The chapters in this volume interrogate the concept of intertextuality in order to offer new and better ways to understand the function of older scripture in later scripture. The contributors examine pre-Christian texts, as well as Christian texts, that make use of older sacred tradition. They analyze the respective uses of scripture in diverse Jewish and Christian traditions, whether in discreet bodies of writings, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, or in particular versions of scriptures, such as the Hebrew or Old Greek. In addition to textcritical issues, specific themes also feature such as apocalypticism and eschatology.

The Challenge of Homer School, Pagan Poets and Early Christianity
Karl Olav Sandnes, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway Homer was the gateway to education, to the skills of reading and writing. These skills were necessary for the nascent Church. Knowledge of Homer's writings was a sign of Greekness, of at-home-ness in the society. Education was embedded in the mythology, immorality and idolatry of these writings. This challenged the Christians. This study presents how Christians responded to this. The opinions varied from rejection of Homer and all pagan literature, considering them works of the Devil, to critical involvement with this literature.

Gospel Women and the Long Ending of Mark Kara Lyons-Pardue, Point Loma Nazarene University, USA
Kara Lyons-Pardue examines the issue of the ending of the gospel of Mark, showing how the later additions to the text function as early receptions of the original gospel tradition providing an ancient “fix” to the problem of the ending in which the women flee the tomb in terror and silence. Lyons-Pardue suggests that the long ending functions canonically, smoothing out the “problem” of 16:8 in ways that support the nascent four-gospel canon.

Text to Praxis
Hermeneutics and Homiletics in Dialogue Abraham Kuruvilla, Dallas Theological Seminary A fundamental issue for preachers of the Bible has always been achieving an approach that is both faithful to the textual intention as well as fitting for the listening audience. What is historical and distant (the text) is, in preaching, made contemporary and near (praxis). Particularly pertinent is how this transaction may be conducted with respect to the self-contained and well-defined quantum of the scriptural text that is regularly employed in liturgical contexts—the pericope. This book answers the question: In a sermon intending to proclaim application from a pericope, what is the hermeneutical basis for moving validly from text to praxis, i.e., with authority and relevance?

The Lord's Prayer and the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel
Charles Nathan Ridlehoover, North Raleigh Christian Academy, USA Ridlehoover examines the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew’s gospel, focusing on the its centrality and showing how this centrality affects our reading of both the Sermon on the Mount and the prayer itself. Ridlehoover argues that the Lord’s Prayer is structurally, lexically, and thematically central to the Sermon on the Mount and the means through which disciples of Jesus are empowered to live out the kingdom righteousness it defines. In turn, the Sermon on the Mount clarifies what the answer to the petitions of the Lord’s Prayer might look like in the life of the disciple of Jesus.

Illiterate Apostles
Uneducated Early Christians and the Literates Who Loved Them Allen R. Hilton, Wayzata Community Church, Minnesota, USA Allen R. Hilton examines how pagan critics ridiculed the early Christians for being uneducated and how a few literate Christians took up pen to defend the uneducated members of their churches. Hilton sheds light on the peculiarity of this “defense”, which openly admits that the critics have the facts on their side (Acts even calls Peter and John illiterates). Why did these authors volunteer such a negative detail? The answer to this question reveals a fascinating social exchange that surrounded education levels in antiquity and made its way into the New Testament.

The Violence of the Lamb
Edited by Sean A. Adams, University of Glasgow, UK & Seth M. Ehorn, Wheaton College, USA
Paul Middleton, University of Chester, UK
Volume 2: New Testament Uses
This is the second of two volumes that investigate the phenomenon of composite citations. The following topics are covered: (1) the question of whether the quoting author created the composite text or found it already constructed as such; (2) the question of the rhetorical and/or literary impact of the quotation in its present textual location, and (3) the question of whether the intended audiences would have recognized and ‘reverse engineered’ the composite citation in question and as a result engaged with the original context of each of the component parts.
Martyrs as Agents of Divine Judgement in the Book of Revelation Martyrdom, in the worldview of the Apocalypse, was an exemplification of non-violent resistance. Paul Middleton, however, sees it as a representation of direct participation by Christians in divine violence against those portrayed in the book of Revelation as God's enemies.

Christ, Creation and the Cosmic Goal of Redemption A Study of Pauline Creation Theology as Read by Irenaeus and Applied to Ecotheology
J.J. Johnson Leese, Seattle Pacific University, USA J.J. Johnson Leese shows that the apostle Paul’s writing about Christ’s relationship to creation read alongside the astute interpretation of these texts by Irenaeus of Lyon can provide a meaningful contribution to the contemporary ecotheological conversation. Leese shows how Irenaeus’ creation theology was constructed through connecting and organizing biblical creation texts into a Christological framework. Irenaeus’ approach provides possibilities for Paul to contribute to ecotheology, not as a set of unconnected proof texts, but by way of a theological vision where the whole of reality in relationship to Christ and creation are central components of Paul’s theology.
The Parables in Q
Dieter T. Roth, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany Roth uses the latest research in parables scholarship and a novel, intertextual approach to studying Q to provide the first monograph-length treatment of the 27 Q parables. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts.

Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke’s Gospel Gregory R. Lanier, Reformed Theological Seminary, USA
This volume sits at the intersection of three sub-fields of New Testament scholarship: early Christology, the use of Israel’s Scriptures in the New Testament, and contemporary metaphor theory. Lanier argues that the gospel of Luke employs certain conceptual metaphors reflected in Israel’s traditions—“horn of salvation,” “dawn from on high,” “mother bird gathering Jerusalem’s children,” and “crushing stone”— to portray the identity of Jesus as both an agent of salvation and, more provocatively, the one God of Israel.

Ecclesiastes 1-5
Persian Influence on Daniel and Jewish Apocalyptic Literature
A Critical and Exegetical Commentary
Vincente Dobroruka, University of Brasilia, Brazil
Stuart Weeks, University of Durham, UK This new volume in the ICC on Ecclesiastes 1-5 brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological - to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this Old Testament book. Stuart D. Weeks incorporates new evidence available in the field, surveys the wealth of secondary literature and provides an extensive introduction to Ecclesiastes as a whole.
Dobroruka investigates the nature of the Iranian influence on Second Temple Judaism, addressing during this the problems created by a dualistic worldview, the Indo-European origins of Zoaster and his ideas, and the long term implications for the notion of free will. Dobroruka refers to a number of concepts that illuminate this influence, including the idea of an 'Anointed One', as well as shamanistic visionary experience type and the resurrection.

Ruth: An Earth Bible Commentary
Jonah: An Earth Bible Commentary
Alice Sinnott highlights ecological dimensions of the book of Ruth and shows how the narrator gives voice to the way in which the Earth functions throughout the story. Sinnott considers non-human characters as legitimate determining factors in the structuring of the narrative and recognizes Earth and members of the Earth community as valid subjects in the narrative. Integral to Sinnott’s reading of the text is a concern for Earth and matters such as food, famine, death, harvests, grain, day and night and members of the Earth community.
Jione Havea reads Jonah through the lens of climate change, using this present reality to reconsider the significance of Jonah for contemporary struggles and contexts. Havea approaches the text in two ways: first, by reading Jonah forward, giving special attention to the orientation of the narrative toward the sea and Nineveh, and then backward, highlighting the significance of sea and (is)land lives to the flow of the narrative. Second, by reminding readers that the fish, plant, worm and other beasts are also crucial in this narrative and considering how this affects our reading of the text.

Romans: Three Exegetical Interpretations and the History of Reception Volume 1: Romans 1:1-32
Daniel Patte, Vanderbilt University, USA "The magisterial work of an excellent biblical scholar." Kathy Ehrensperger, University of Potsdam, Germany Daniel Patte here presents the systematic application of his threefold interpretation of the letter to the Romans. The first part of the approach reads the letter for its theological argument, the second as a call to mission and the third reads it as a work of apocalyptic writing. In this first of a projected three-volume work Patte outlines the development of this approach. He then outlines how it may be applied, before then presenting his three parallel readings of the first chapter of Romans.
Colossians: An Earth Bible Commentary
Victoria S. Balabanski, Flinders University of South Australia, Australia This commentary analyses Colossians as a coauthored letter, written during Paul’s Roman imprisonment by Timothy with the input of Epaphras, and sent with Paul’s introductory and concluding greetings. Balabanski draws particularly on Stoic thought, arguing that this is crucial to understanding the letter. Balabanski sees the gospel as having been welcomed in Colossae by groups shaped by Stoic thought, who experienced Christ as the visible expression of the One God who permeates reality. This theology of divine permeation invites us to notice the ecological potential of this letter.

Disorderly Women and the Order of God
An Australian Feminist Reading of the Gospel of Mark Michele A. Connolly, Catholic Institute of Sydney, Australia Connolly examines how Mark portrays Jesus bringing the order of the Reign of God. Connolly sees this as a markedly male project against which 11 female characters are portrayed as disorderly distractions who are managed by being marginalised, silenced and denigrated. This contradicts Jesus’ message of mutual service and non-domination. In his death under apocalyptic power, Jesus is depicted as isolated, silenced and denigrated. Connolly argues that this subtly associates femaleness with chaos, failure and disgrace and that such sexism must be exposed and rejected.

Archetypes and the Fourth Gospel
Literature and Theology in Conversation Brian Larsen, Simpson University, USA Explores the interaction of literature and theology by means of archetypal criticism with reference to characters in the Gospel of John.

These archetypes offer a compelling summary of literature and form the essential governing framework and means of exchange between literature and theology.

The Aesthetics of Felt Spaces
Edited by Tina Engels-Schwarzpaul, Auckland University Of Technology, New Zealand There is fast-growing awareness of the role atmospheres play in architectural practice as it is to aesthetic theory, this atmospheric turn owes much to the work of the German philosopher Gernot Böhme. Translated by Tina Engels-Schwarzpaul, Atmospheric Architectures brings together Böhme's most seminal writings on the subject, through chapters selected from his classic books and articles. It is a work which will provide rich references and a theoretical framework for ongoing discussions about atmospheres and their relations to architectural and urban spaces.

Anthropology for Architects Social Relations and the Built Environment
Ray Lucas, University of Manchester, UK What can architects learn from anthropologists? This is the central question examined in Anthropology for Architects – an exploration of the correspondence between contemporary social anthropology and architecture. The focus is on architecture as a design practice. Rather than presenting architectural artefacts as objects of the anthropological gaze, the book foregrounds the activities and aims of architects themselves. It looks at the choices that designers have to make – whether engaging with a site context, drawing, modelling, constructing, or making a post-occupancy analysis – and explores how an anthropological view can help inform design decisions.

Materials and Meaning in Architecture
Essays on the Bodily Experience of Buildings Nathaniel Coleman Interweaving architecture, philosophy and cultural history, Materials and Meaning in Architecture develops a rich and multi-dimensional exploration of materials and materiality in an age when architectural practice seems otherwise preoccupied with image and visual representation. Arguing that architecture is primarily experienced by the whole body, this broad-ranging study shows how the most engaging built works are as tactile as they are sensuous, communicating directly with the bodily sense, especially touch. It explores the theme of 'material imagination' and the power of establishing 'place identity' in an architect's work, to consider the enduring expressive possibilities of material use in architecture.

PAGON
Ludwig Hilberseimer
Espen Johnsen, University of Oslo, Norway
Scott Colman, Rice School of Architecture, USA
Scandinavian Avant-Garde Architecture 1945-1956 Part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, this book tells the story of PAGON (Progressive Architects Group Oslo Norway) for the first time, offering a definitive account of the group’s projects, buildings, and approach. Despite its individual members – including Sverre Fehn and Jørn Utzon – achieving international recognition, PAGON has been overlooked in the history of modern architecture. This book demonstrates how PAGON’s architecture constitutes a unique continuity between late 1930s Scandinavian functionalism and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10.

Assembling the Architect
Architecture, Planning, and Art Criticism – Berlin, Bauhaus, USA Despite being internationally-known for his work on Lafayette Park in Detroit, Ludwig Hilberseimer’s legacy has been obscured in the history of modern architecture. Whether this is due to the intense shadow cast by his long-standing collaborator Ludwig Mies van der Roh, or by his oeuvre being split between the differing languages and contexts of interwar Germany and postwar North America, it is now clear that he was an important Bauhaus teacher and central to avantgarde art and architecture in the Weimar Republic. This book argues that the time is now right for a critical reassessment of Hilberseimer’s work and writings.

The Architecture of Art History A Historiography
Mark Crinson, Birkbeck University, UK & Richard J. Williams, University of Edinburgh, UK What is the place of architecture in the history of art? Why has it been at times central to the discipline, and at other times marginal? What is its place now? Many disciplines have a stake in the history of architecture – sociology, anthropology, human geography, to name a few. This highly original study deals with perhaps the most influential tradition of all – art history – examining how the relation between the disciplines of art history and architectural history has waxed and waned over the last one hundred and fifty years, and arguing for a challenge to the current status quo.

Modern Architect and Migrant in the Australian Tropics Edited by John MacArthur, University of Queensland, Australia & Deborah van der Plaat, University of Queensland, Australia Despite a European training and an early career working with Peter Behrens, a migration from Vienna to Queensland, Australian positioned the architect Karl Langer (1903-1969) at the very edge of both European and Australian modernism. Confronted by tropical heat and glare, the economics of affordable housing, and regional architectural practices, Langer moulded the European language of international modernism to Australia’s unique climatic and social conditions. This book tells Langer’s story through distinct essays focused on key themes and projects, offering both an examination of the architect’s work and legacy, and a case study in the trans-global dissemination of design ideas.

Religious Legacies in World Architecture
Modern Architecture and the Sacred provides a timely reappraisal of architecture's manifold engagements with notions of the sacred in the twentieth century. A wide range of case material is presented over sixteen contributed essays - including the work of iconic modernist architects such as Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and Mies van der Rohe - which together demonstrate that sacred or semi-sacred buildings should not be dismissed as peripheral phenomena in modernism. On the contrary, such works have much to reveal to us about the deeper motivations and complexities at the core of the modernist project.

Gill Hedley
Allison Levy
A Life in Art
Gill Hedley’s biography of art dealer and collector, Arthur Jeffress, has benefited from access to many hundreds of unpublished letters written between Jeffress and Robert Melville, who ran Jeffress’ own gallery from 1955-1961. The letters reveal a vivid picture of the London gallery world as well as frank details of artists, collectors and the definitive story of his suicide. Previously unpublished research reveals new information about the lives of Jeffress’ lover John Deakin, his business partner Erica Brausen, the French photographer André Ostier and Henry Clifford, and the way in which all of them influenced Jeffress’ first steps as a collector from the 1930s onwards.

The Life of Forms in Art
Modernism, Organism, Vitality Brandon Taylor, University of Southampton, UK
Women artists experience prolific discrimination with their work commonly valued at almost half the price of men’s. Many museums contribute to this pattern by collecting tokenist women’s artworks, which affect the artists’ market value. In spite of these trends, Gørrill proves that there are few aesthetic differences between men and women’s painting. Introducing shocking evidence and challenging existing methodologies, Gørrill shows how the price of being a woman impacts all forms of artistic currency, be it social, cultural or economic, and in the vanguard of the ‘Me Too’ movement calls for the artworld to take action.
What is form in modern art? How could a work of art attain organic life in a world dominated by new technology? Brandon Taylor proposes that biology and the life sciences themselves supplied the analogies and metaphors by which the modern artist was guided. For both the artistic giants of the period and the lesser-known, such questions loomed large. In a book rich in new research and fresh thinking, Taylor proposes six modalities of organic and vital life that pervade the great experiments of modern art: the organic, the biomorphic, the ambiguous, the monstrous, the dialectical, and the liquid.

Postwar Italian Art History Today
Futurist Conditions
Untying 'the Knot'
David S. Mather, Stony Brook University, USA
Edited by Sharon Hecker, Independent Scholar, Italy & Marin R. Sullivan, Independent Scholar, USA
When visualizing motion in the early 20th century, the futurist visual artists embraced formal and conceptual approaches that reoriented some of the disruptive and destructive effects of technology toward more humanizing, spiritual aims. Through sustained analysis of artworks in painting, photography, and sculpture, which are adeptly framed in their pertinent intellectual and cultural contexts, Mather’s scholarship demonstrates various ways that photography both directly and indirectly touched the artistic practices and writings of Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, and the Bragaglia brothers—but it also provoked interpersonal conflict that irreparably fractured this cultural movement on the eve of the First World War.
Considering the parameters and impact of Italian art and visual studies since the Second World War, this edited volume calls for a systematic reconsideration of the artistic origins of postwar Italian visual culture, the terminology used to describe the work produced, and the key personalities and institutions that have promoted and supported the development and marketing of this art in Italy and abroad. Featuring case studies that emphasize new methodologies, the 16 contributing authors examine, from different viewpoints, the issues driving today’s Italian art history.

Modernist Magazines and the Social Ideal
Tim Satterthwaite, University of Brighton, UK Modernist Magazines and the Social Ideal is the first major study of photo-illustrated magazines of the 1920s, focusing on two of the leading European titles: the German monthly UHU and the French news journal VU. It explores, in particular, the striking use of regularity and repetition in photographs of modernity, reading these repetitious images as symbolic of modernist ideals of social order in the aftermath of the First World War. The book’s novel methodology, called pattern theory, represents a cautious, empirical attempt to apply the science of perceptual organisation to critical practice.

Picturing Russia’s Men
Masculinity and Modernity in 19th-Century Painting Allison Leigh, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA There was a discontent among Russian men in the nineteenth century that sometimes did not stem from poverty, loss, or the threat of war, but instead arose from trying to negotiate the paradoxical prescriptions for masculinity which characterized the era. This book takes a vital new approach to this topic by pairing close readings of paintings with some of the first translations of Russian artists’ writings. These are interwoven with the environments of class upheaval and political change in which they were produced to challenge the enduring myths which surround both masculinity and modernity in the history of art.

Edgar Wind and Modern Art In Defense of Marginal Anarchy Ben Thomas, University of Kent, UK The eminent art historian and philosopher Edgar Wind is mainly remembered as the author of Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance (1958). Throughout his life, however, he was passionately interested in modern art, and recognized as a compelling public speaker on this topic. He gave, for example, a remarkable series of lectures at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1942, and was a friend of artists like Tchelitchew, Shahn and Kitaj. Ben Thomas’ astute analysis of Wind’s views on modern art reveals his robust challenge to the prevailing formalism of the age, and a new understanding of the iconographical approach.

Sculpture and the Decorative in Britain and Europe, Seventeenth Century to Contemporary
Edited by Imogen Hart, University of California, Berkeley, USA & Claire Jones, University of Birmingham, UK Foregrounding the overlaps between sculpture and the decorative challenges established academic and museological hierarchies, as well as the classed, raced and gendered categories that have structured the histories and languages of art and its making. Through distinct case studies (17th century altarpieces to contemporary ceramics), the book charts the contexts and agendas that shifting relationships between sculpture and the decorative expose and support. They thus demand a reassessment of how the two fields have been defined and separated, and offer a model for a more integrated form of art history writing.

A Nation of Makers
These interdisciplinary essays invite us into the workshops, drawing rooms, and backrooms of a broad range of makers to uncover the key place of material literacy in Britain’s consumer revolution. Making could be taxing, laborious and frustrating, but it was also sociable, pleasurable, creative and skilled. It was a complex, codified and creative practice that forged collective vocabularies of manual labour and connected elite, middling and labouring people who relied on their material literacy to understand domestic and imported goods. Uncovering these languages and practices illuminates how this nation of shopkeepers was as much a nation of makers.

The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts
Suffrage and the Arts
Rosalyn Driscoll
Miranda Garrett, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, UK & Zoë Thomas
By The Light of the Body
Rosalyn Driscoll presents experiential and theoretical grounds for integrating the bodily, somatic senses into our understanding of how we make and engage with visual art. Driscoll, a visual artist who has spent years making tactile, haptic sculpture, shows how using touch can deepen what we know through seeing, and even serve as a genuine alternative to sight. She proposes that tactile, somatic memory and experience is embedded in visual perception of art, and awareness of the somatic senses offers rich aesthetic and perceptual possibilities for art making and appreciation. This will be of use for students of museum studies, fine art, art history and sensory studies.

The Future of Objects in a Digital World
Craft as a Critique of Economic, Social and Technological Contexts Throughout the 21st century, craft practices have experienced a resurgence across the Western world. D Wood argues this is a direct response to and critique of the particular economic, social and technological context in which we live. Just as Ruskin and Morris viewed craft in the 1800s as a political opposition to the Industrial Revolution, Wood contends that craft activities are often today practiced as a rejection of mass production's waste and perceived lack of meaning.

Iconic Designs
Angus Forsyth
Edited by Grace Lees-Maffei, University of Hertfordshire, UK
Human Flight in Chinese Jade
Jade figurines depicting human flight are a varied and expressive manifestation of this most prized artistic medium. Angus Forsyth, a prominent collector of Chinese jade, in this book explores the making in the Middle Kingdom (over a 2000-year period, from the Han Dynasty onwards) of unique objects depicting figural movement through the air. He examines the depiction of apsaras (flying angels), kinnaras (man-birds), anthropomorphized bird headdress ornaments and finally garudas (humanoid birds appearing in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology). He shows how these flying figures came to be associated with veneration of the gods and specific devotional practice. Examining a variety of representative objects, none of which has been seen in print before, the author reveals that the original concept behind flying celestial beings and bird-men originated not in China but in India and the Christianized West, via the Silk Road. A distinctive characteristic of Chinese artefacts is that, in contrast to their Western angelic counterparts, they often are wingless. The book discusses small and larger jade pieces alike.

Peacock Revolution
Lydia Edwards, Edith Cowan University, Australia
Daniel Delis Hill, Fashion Historian, UK
A Guide to Changing Men’s Fashion from the 17th to the 20th Century
American Masculine Identity and Dress in the Sixties and Seventies
This lavishly illustrated book equips readers with all the information they need to ‘read’ menswear. How to Read a Suit is an authoritative visual guide to the under-explored area of men’s fashion across four centuries. Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time. You will learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history – as well as how menswear has varied in type, cut, and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer.
The Peacock Revolution in menswear of the 1960s came as a profound shock to much of America. Men’s long hair and vividly colored, sexualized clothes challenged long established traditions of masculine identity. Peacock Revolution is an in-depth study of how radical changes in men’s clothing reflected, and contributed to, the changing ideas of American manhood initiated by a 'youthquake' of rebellious baby boomers coming of age in an era of social revolutions. Featuring a detailed examination of the diverse sociocultural and socio-political movements of the era, the book provides a thorough chronicle of the peacock fashions of a radical generation.

Fashion in Multiple Chinas Chinese Styles in the Transglobal Landscape
Edited by Wessie Ling & Simona Segre-Reinach The transformation of China from a major nation for clothing manufacture to an intensely fashionconsuming society has been widely documented. Less has been written about the making of Chinese fashion. Fashion in Multiple Chinas explores how multitudes of Chinese fashions operate across the widespread and diffused Chinese diaspora. It challenges the idea of ‘one Chinese nation', as well as of China as a single reality, revealing Chinese fashion as diverse and comprising multiple practices. Expert authors demonstrate how the making of Chinese fashion often involves a web of global entanglements between manufacturing and circulation, retailing and branding.

Performance Costume

Gender and the Body in Modern London The Business of Beauty is the first history of the commercial beauty business in Victorian London, which challenges the view that the 19th and early 20th centuries were devoid of beauty practices. Contrary to this perception, Clark shows that Victorian men and women transformed their looks by purchasing goods and services from urban entrepreneurs such as perfumers, wigmakers and complexion specialists. From shady back parlours to elegant salons, Clark tells a story which revises traditional chronologies of western beauty businesses and reveals how Victorian critiques of beautification defined the buying and selling of beauty goods.

Through these explorations, The Psychopolitics of Fashion offers new perspectives on fashion through the lens of politics, policing, affect and statehood, and even investigates the implications of these findings for fashion designers.

Fashion Stylists
History, Meaning and Practice Edited by Ane Lynge-Jorlén, Lund University, Sweden Stylists have become increasingly influential in shaping fashion imagery, moving from unrecognised background players to fashion celebrities lauded for their work and personal style. This book is the first to explore the history and meaning of styling through original interviews with leading professionals and examples from advertising, catwalks and magazines. Revealing the most significant trends in contemporary practice, Lynge-Jorlén shows that stylists have become creative consultants who push the boundaries of image making and survive in a fashion system increasingly under commercial pressure.

Fashioning Horror
Dressing to Kill on Screen and in Literature Edited by Julia Petrov, Royal Alberta Museum, Canada & Gudrun D. Whitehead, University of Iceland in Reykjavík, Iceland From Jack the Ripper to Frankenstein, Halloween customs to Alexander McQueen collections, Fashioning Horror examines how terror is fashioned visually, symbolically, and materially through fashion and costume, in literature, film, and real life. With a series of case studies that range from sensationalist cinema and Slasher films to true crime and 19th century literature, the volume investigates the central importance of clothing to the horror genre, and broadens our understanding of both material and popular culture. Exploring the darker corners of the human imagination, this survey is the first to examine the relationship between fashion and horror.

Fashioning Professionals

Edited by Leah Armstrong, University of Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria & Felice McDowell, London College of Fashion, UK

Identity and Representation at Work in the Creative Industries
Fashioning Professionals addresses the key question of what it means to be a creative professional, both historically and today. From the fashion mannequin-maker and pop stylist to the digital-age blogger, the craft maker and design curator, ‘creative’ professional identities can be viewed as social practices; performed and negotiated through the media, the public and industry. Asking how the role of the creative professional has changed in the contemporary labor market since the birth of the digital age, this collection interweaves critical perspectives spanning fashion, design, art, architecture and advertising, arguing that these identities are continually in a state of fashioning.

Consumption, Politics and Islamic Identities
Turkey has witnessed remarkable sociocultural change under Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime, particularly in its religious communities. As pious individuals increasingly gain access to state power, so religious appearances and practices grow more visible in 'secular' public spaces. Above all, consumption practices have changed and new Islamic and Islamist identities have emerged. By investigating three of the most widespread faith-inspired communities in Turkey, this book explores diverse interpretations of Islamic rules related to the body and dress and feeds growing interest in the commercial aspects of modest and Islamic fashion.

Rachel Worth, Arts Institute at Bournemouth, UK This book examines changing notions of class throughout the history of fashion.

Fashion and Class is essential reading for those wishing to understand the ways in which the fashion system is tightly connected with ideas of class.

Integrating Draping, Drafting and Drawing
Bina Abling, Santa Fe Community College, USA & Kathleen Maggio This handy studio reference teaches draping, drafting, and drawing the way they are practiced in the industry: by integrating them throughout the creative process. Integrating Draping, Drafting, and Drawing illustrates the design process, encompassing sketch and garment pattern development, and creates bridges between studio methods and design illustration. Chapters are presented as hands-on learning experiences with lessons that mimic classroom demonstrations. Step-by-step photographs portray the draping process in a sculptural way rather than using illustrations, which cannot truly depict the response of fabric draped on a dress form. Throughout the book, instructions for producing patterns and slopers—skirts, bodices, necklines and collars, and sleeves—are presented, along with variations, so that students will be able to drape, draft, and draw complete garments. The concluding chapter of the book is devoted to drawing exercises based on the work of 20th century designer Donald Brooks.

The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman Ira Neimark
From lavish events attended by high-profile personalities such as Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Jacqueline Onassis, and Yves Saint Laurent to the latest creative ventures of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Donald Trump, Ira Neimark, the legendary leader of fashion luxury retail, recounts how he and his talented fashion and merchandising team brought Bergdorf Goodman to its leadership position—an approach, he shows, that continues to inform the most successful designers and business leaders today. While his personal anecdotes focus on how and why Bergdorf helped build the fashion industry during one of the most exciting periods in its history—the late sixties through the early nineties—the author also shares his views on how contemporary retailers have increased profits by skimping on service, resulting in the loss of customer loyalty.

Does the reproduction of a photograph affect its value as authentic or not?

Color and Victorian Photography
Edited by Aileen Blaney, Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, India & Chinar Shah, Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, India
Introducing readers to the long and frequently overlooked history of polychrome photography, Color and Victorian Photography includes early accounts of the scientific search for color; essays on its value (or otherwise) by cultural critics such as John Ruskin; extracts from manuals on handcoloring; and 19th photographers' views on the use of color in their work, from Roger Fenton to Lewis Carroll. It asks why scientists, philosophers, photographers, literary writers and art theorists were so fascinated by the possibility and potential of color, and offers a fresh perspective on the culture and history of early photography.
From Archives to Contemporary Practice
Photography in India explores elements of the past, present and future of photography in the context of India through speculation and reflection on photography as an artistic, documentary and everyday practice. The perspectives of writers, theorists, curators and artists are brought together to explore changes which have been synchronous with contemporary India’s rapid urban and rural transformation and the technological shift from chemistry and light to programming and algorithms.

Sourcing Ideas for Textile Design
A Philosophy of Textile Between Practice and Theory
Catherine Dormor, Middlesex University, UK Textile is at once language, concept and material object. Philosophers such as Plato and Derrida have notably drawn on weaving processes to illustrate their ideas and artists such as Louise Bourgeois explored matters such as the needle and thread. This book brings together for the first time the work of thinkers such as Barthes, Cixous and Irigaray and international artists Eva Hesse and Helen Chadwick to put forward a new philosophy of textile. Exploring the material behaviours and philosophical language of folding, shimmering, seaming, viscosity and fraying, Dormor demonstrates how textile practice and theory are intricately woven together.
