Air Conditioning

Hsuan L. Hsu, University of California, Davis

Air conditioning aspires to be unnoticed Yet, by manipulating the air around us, it quietly conditions the baseline conditions of our physical, mental, and emotional experience. From offices and libraries to contemporary art museums and shopping malls, climate control systems shore up the fantasy of a comfortable, self-contained body that does not have to reckon with temperature Yet air conditioning isn’t for everybody: its reliance on carbon fuels divides the world into habitable, climate-controlled bubbles and increasingly uninhabitable environments where AC is unavailable Hsuan Hsu's Air Conditioning explores questions about culture, ethics, ecology, and social justice raised by the history and uneven distribution of climate controlling technologies

Ten Lessons in Theory A New Introduction to Theoretical Writing

Calvin Thomas, Georgia State University, USA

A literary introduction to progressive critical theory, the new edition of Ten Lessons in Theory still engages readers with the premise that 'literary theory' isn't simply academic speculation 'about' literature but fundamentally is literature, after all The book’s ten lessons still unpack key theoretical axioms, exploring their conditions of possibility and most radical implications The lessons still elaborate on Lacanian psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, poststructuralism, cultural studies, feminism, gender studies and queer theory but, with a more urgent emphasis on Afropessimism and other developments in postcolonial Black cultural production, the second edition of Ten Lessons is an anti-racist overhaul of the first.

Science Fiction and Narrative Form

David Roberts & Andrew Milner, both Monash University, Australia & Peter Murphy, La Trobe University and James Cook University, Australia

Establishing science fiction as its own distinct narrative form, this book calls on the works of Isaac Asimov, Aldous Huxley, Margaret Atwood, Ursula K LeGuin, Philip K Dick and more to demonstrate how it challenges pervasive perceptions of society presented in the conventional modern novel Building on Georg Lukács’s criticism of the orthodox novel, this book explores theological/ontological science fiction, future history and epic science to demonstrate the genre's unique capacity to encapsulate the whole world, persons and events, things and objects in a glance, and address the motive behind the wish for a meaningful totality

Craft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative Writing

Ben Ristow, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USA

Craft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative Writing follows Richard Sennett’s notion of "making is thinking" Reframing craft as a "material consciousness" rather than formalistic logics and techniques taught by makers that teach, this book restores the virtue of craft for artist-teachers With research drawn from 25 interviews with artists across material and intellectual boundaries including architecture, painting, dance, music, writing, pottery, textiles, and woodworking, Ben Ristow puts these practitioners in conversation with each other to suggest that craft consciousness is foundational to developing an artistic identity and practice

Utopia Beyond Capitalism in Contemporary Literature

A Commons Poetics

Raphael Kabo, Independent scholar

Providing fresh readings of contemporary utopian poetry and fiction from authors such as Juliana Spahr, Mohsin Hamid, Bong Joon-ho, Kim Stanley Robinson, Lidia Yukavitch, and Cory Doctorow, this book investigates the commons - a form of organisation based on collectivity, communalism and sharing - as a type of transition between capitalist precarity and crisis and anti-capitalist futures

Through its examination of these writers, crises and texts, this book reaffirms the use of utopianism as a tool for generating and representing alternative futures for a world in the midst of ongoing planetary crisis

Contemporary Fiction, Celebrity Culture, and the Market for Modernism

Fictions of Celebrity

Carey Mickalites

This book argues that contemporary celebrity authors like Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Eimear McBride and Anna Burns position their work and public personae within a received modernist canon to claim and monetize its cultural capital in the lucrative market for literary fiction. Mickalites also shows how the corporate conditions of marketing and branding have redefined older models of literary influence and innovation.

Peripheralizing DeLillo

Surplus Populations, Capitalist Crisis, and the Novel

Thomas Travers, Independent Scholar, UK

Drawing on theories that capital, rather than the bourgeoisie, is the displaced subject of the novel, Thomas Travers investigates DeLillo’s representation of fully commodified social worlds and re-evaluates Marxist accounts of the novel and its philosophy of history The DeLillo that emerges from this study is no longer an exemplary postmodern writer, but a composer of capitalist epics, a novelist drawn to peripheral zones of accumulation, zones of social death whose surplus populations his fiction strives to re-historicise, if not re-dialecticise as subjects of history

Rereading Darwin’s Origin of Species

The Hesitations of an Evolutionist

Richard G. Delisle & James Tierney

Contrary to prevailing contemporary perceptions of Charles Darwin and his work, this book reveals a more nuanced picture, presenting him as a man of his time who struggled to reconcile the received wisdom of an unchanging natural world with his new ideas of evolution

Unable to break free entirely from his contemporaries' more traditional outlook, this book claims, Darwin did his best to come up with a theory that, ultimately, constitutes a fascinating compromise between the old and the new Rediscovering this other Darwin –and this other side of On the Origin of Species –helps us grasp the immensity of the task that lay before 19th century scholars and their ultimate achievements

Posthumorism

The Modernist Affect of Laughter

Frances McDonald

A cogent and stylishly written analysis of the non-humorous meanings of laughter, this book explores a unique strain of laughter in modernism that is without humor, without humans, and without humanism, offering a bold new theory of modernism’s affects

Presenting a series of case studies into this thoroughly modern (and modernist) gesture of laughter, with particular attention paid to its creative operation, this book explores how various stylists of posthumorist laughter—from Nathanael West and Kurt Vonnegut to Georges Bataille and Hélène Cixous—use it as a tool to unsettle and reconfigure not only the individual human, but also the shapes and forms of humanist discourse

Reflecting the diversity of postcolonial print cultures, this book covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, examining published and unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts, advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as visions of new forms of equality

Postcolonial Literature and the Politics of Gaps

Dirk Wiemann, University of Potsdam, Germany

Drawing on the ‘gutter’ in graphic narratives – the gap between panels that a reader has to fill to generate narrative sequence, the author analyses the verse novel, a form prolific in the postcolonial world and among marginalized writers in the Global North This study concentrates on two areas in which verse novels show distinction: ‘planetary’ novels in which the volcano evokes a world in constant un/making; and post-national novels in Britain that shift paradigms of imagined communities These trends in verse novels show an apprehension of living in an unpredictable and dangerous world

Jessica Ann Hughes, George Fox University, USA

This book tells the story of how nineteenth-century writers turned to the realist novel in order to reimagine Jesus during a century where traditional religious faith appeared increasingly untenable Reworkings of the canonical Gospels and other projects to demythologize the story of Jesus are frequently treated as projects aiming to secularize and even discredit traditional Christian faith Hughes demonstrates how the novels of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, Eliza Lynn Linton, and Mary Augusta Ward demonstrate that bringing the Christian tradition of prophet, priest, and king into conversation with a rapidly changing world can be a form of authentic faith

Bringing together modernism, religion and queerness, this is the first book to present Barnes’s original contribution to questions usually monopolised by philosophy and systematic theology

Ng explores questions including: why has this theological dimension fallen away from later criticism on Barnes? How might the queerness of Barnes’s art and life be implicated in a challenge to theology?

Literary, Religious, and Political Quests for Textual Authority

Jeff Smith, Masaryk University, Czech Republic

In the tumultuous decades before the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts Putting religious and literary studies in conversation, Jeff Smith presents key features of the writings, careers and cultural politics of several prominent figures – such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln – as responses to these 19th-century textual challenges He ties together key movements and projects to show what was distinctively American about them and what they reveal about the inherent limits of textual authority

Faulkner, Aviation, and Modern War

Michael Zeitlin, University of British Columbia, Canada

This volume frames William Faulkner's airplane narratives against major scenes of the early 20th century: the Great War, the rise of European fascism in the 1920s and 1930s, the Second World War and the aviation arms race extending from the Wright Flyer into the Cold War era Placing biographical accounts of Faulkner's time in the Royal Air Force Canada against analysis of such works as Soldiers' Pay (1926), "All the Dead Pilots" (1921), Pylon (1935) and A Fable (1954), the author outlines Faulkner's complex and ambivalent relations to the ideologies of masculine performance and martial heroism in an age dominated by industrialism and military technology

Burroughs Unbound William S Burroughs and the Performance of Writing

Edited

by S. E. Gontarski, Florida State University, USA

In the 1960s and 1970s, Burroughs collaborated with filmmakers and musicians, who recontextualized his writings in other media Burroughs Unbound examines these collaborations and explores how such multiple authorship complicates the authority of the archive as a final or complete repository of an author’s work. It takes Burroughs seriously as a radical theorist and practitioner who challenges common assumptions about language, authorship, and the archive in its broadest definition.

Humanism, AntiAuthoritarianism, and Literary Aesthetics

Pragmatist Stories of Progress

Ulf Schulenberg, University of Bremen, Germany

The revival of humanism is a multi-layered phenomenon, and this study teases out 3 of those layers: it explains the potential of a pragmatist humanism and the contemporary significance of humanism; it argues that pragmatist humanism is a form of anti-authoritarianism; and it shows the possibility of bringing together humanism and a renewed interest in aesthetic form Discussing a broad range of authors – from Emerson, Nietzsche, Proust and Dewey to Wittgenstein, Adorno, Jameson and Rorty – this interdisciplinary study illuminates how humanism, pragmatism and anti-authoritarianism are interlinked

Adventure An Argument for Limits

Christopher Schaberg, Loyola University New Orleans, USA

What is the meaning of ‘adventure’ as we enter the second decade of the 21st century, after a global pandemic, social and geopolitical calamities, and accelerating environmental catastrophes? What stories are humans telling about wilderness, remote destinations, and the most difficult thoughts thinkable? How are adventures represented in contemporary fiction, film, and other cultural forms? What are the limits of this word, this idea? In Adventure, Christopher Schaberg takes time out of our frenetic times to reflect on these questions and on the human compulsion for adventure – and how we find it, or not.

Circumcision on the Couch

The Cultural, Psychological, and Gendered Dimensions of the World's Oldest Surgery

Jordan Osserman, University College London, UK

Male circumcision is a powerful site through which questions of gender, race, religion, sexuality and psyche have been negotiated throughout human history In recent years, a movement of “intactivists” have fuelled debate internationally around their demand to keep penises “intact ” Whatever its medical consequences, the significance of male circumcision lies in realms beyond the purely organic and into the psychosocial and the fundamental problems therein Jordan Osserman turns to ancient religious texts and more contemporary work by Lacan, Freud, Derrida, and Phillip Roth to analyze circumcision’s role in desire, one’s sense of belonging and entry into the symbolic order

The Strange Loops of Translation

Douglas Robinson, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong

One of the most exciting theories to emerge from cognitive science research over the past few decades has been Douglas Hofstadter’s notion of “strange loops,” from Gödel, Escher, Bach (1979) In this book Douglas Robinson puts Hofstadter’s strange-loops theory into dialogue with a series of definitive theories of translation, in the process showing just how cognitively and affectively complex an activity translation actually is

Authorship, Activism and Celebrity Art and Action in Global Literature

Edited by Sandra Mayer, University of Vienna, Austria & Ruth Scobie, University of Oxford, UK

Since long before the age of celebrity activism, literary authors have used their public profiles and cultural capital to draw attention to a wide range of socio-political concerns. This book is the first to explore – through history, criticism and creative interventions – the relationship between authorship, political activism and celebrity culture across historical periods, cultures, literatures and media In case studies ranging from the 18th century to present-day controversies, authors illuminate the complex relationship between literature, politics, celebrity culture and market activism, bringing together vivid current debates on the function and responsibility of literature in increasingly fractured societies

The Geschlecht Complex Addressing Untranslatable Aspects of Gender, Genre, and Ontology

Edited by Oscar Jansson, Lund University, Sweden & David LaRocca, Cornell University, USA

The notion of Geschlecht – denoting gender, genre, kinship, and more – exemplifies the most pertinent questions of the transnational and transdisciplinary structures of contemporary humanities What happens in the transference from one language, tradition, or form to another? Combining detailed case studies of “category problems” in literature, philosophy, theatre, media, cinema, and performing arts, with excerpts from canonical texts—by field-defining thinkers such as Derrida, Malabou, Nancy, and Irigaray—the volume presents “the Geschlecht complex” as a fulcrum for any interpretive endeavor, as an invaluable mode of thought for the present and inevitable complexities of theorizing in the 21st century

Language Smugglers

Postlingual Literatures and Translation within the Canadian Context

Arianne Des Rochers, Université de Moncton, Canada

In recent years, many books of fiction and poetry published in so-called Canada, especially by queer, racialized and Indigenous writers, have challenged the structural notions of linguistic autonomy and singularity that underlie not only the formation of the nation-state, but the bulk of Western translation theory and the field of comparative literature.

Language Smugglers argues that the postnational cartographies of language found in minoritized Canadian literary works force a radical redefinition of the activity of translation altogether.

Shakespeare’s Histories on Screen Adaptation, Race and Intersectionality

Jennie M. Votava, Allegheny College, USA

Linking early modern race scholarship and adaptation theory, this study examines how the adapted Shakespearean history play provides a site for constructing race as it intersects with other identity categories, such as gender, sexuality, class, disability, ethnicity and nation

It considers two 21st-century adaptations of the Henriad that intentionally engage contemporary identity politics through crossracial casting – the BBC miniseries, The Hollow Crown and Lennix, Quinn, and Thompson’s all-Black Henry IV conflation, the film H4, before reassessing the cultural implications of history adaptations with non-traditional casting practices from the 1990s - including My Private Idaho and Richard III.

Adapting Macbeth A Cultural History

William C. Carroll, Boston University, USA

Analyzing adaptations and tropes of interpretation of Macbeth since its first performance, this book argues that the centuries-long habit of ‘correcting’ Macbeth to fit a period’s political and aesthetic assumptions both misrepresents and domesticates the play’s strangeness, hybridity, and logical difficulties. The widearray of adaptations and appropriations considered range across elite and popular culture divides: from Sir William Davenant’s adaptation for the Restoration stage (1663–4), an early 18th century novel, The Secret History of Mackbeth and Verdi's Macbeth, through to 20th and 21st century adaptations for stage and screen, besides contemporary novelizations, comic books, young adult literature and commercial products
