Have you heard about BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?

A pilot open access model for books

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. We are the first commercial publisher to pilot such a model. Our hope is to engage a more diverse set of authors, bringing their work to a wider global audience.

THE BOOKS

In this pilot phase we aim to make 20 frontlist titles in African Studies and International Development OA immediately upon publication. The titles, including some from Bloomsbury’s renowned Zed Books imprint, are due to publish between March 2024 and February 2025.

BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES

• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 20 research titles available OA

• Receive 1 year’s access to 194 backlist titles in African Studies and International Development

• Be publicly acknowledged on our website

• If we do not raise enough funds to publish the titles OA, receive permanent access to all 20 frontlist titles

• If we raise 50% of our target funding and can only publish 10 titles OA, receive permanent access to the 10 titles that are not made OA

DIY Urbanism in Africa Politics and Practice

Stephen Marr, Malmö University, Sweden & Patience Mususa, Nordic Africa Institute, Sweden

Does DIY urbanism present a form of resistance, or merely an acquiescence, to the inequalities that make it necessary?

Leadership in Independent Africa, Six Decades On

The Blended Representation Principle as a Cause for Afro-Optimism

Kofi Anani, Anani – Afele (A&A) Network

In Leadership in Independent Africa, Kofi Anani offers an in-depth study of the Blended Representation Principle (BRP), which stipulates that power be shared between leaders selected on the basis of Western-democratic ideals and leaders chosen on the basis of traditional African norms and conventions. Drawing on academic research as well as copious personal experience, Anani shows how incorporating this principle into African leadership and governance thinking can encourage more voluntary public participation in politics, guarantee transparency and accountability in decision-making, particularly when it comes to the use of public resources, and ultimately encourage more public confidence in leaders.

Ghana A Political and Social History

Jeffrey Ahlman, Smith College, USA

Ghana provides a comprehensive overview of Ghanaian history while providing fresh insights into the limitations of those histories. For its comprehensive coverage and deliberately accessible style, this book is a must-read not only for students of African history and African studies more generally, but also for anyone interested in how Western-led concepts such as "the nation" and "national history" fit onto--or don't fit onto--non-Western historical experiences.

Narrating Heritage Rights, Abuses and Cultural Resistance

Veysel Apaydin, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK

Narrating Heritage critically examines the links among heritage, rights and social justice. This book brings important original ethnographic research and unique case studies together in a coherent and cohesive way to examine patterns and differences of approaches to heritage. It exposes discourses of the uses and abuses of heritage, and provides narratives of persistence, demonstrating the importance of heritage in securing human rights and social justice. Drawing on over ten years of research and ethnographic fieldwork based on six complex case studies from Turkey and comparing them with case studies from across the world, the book explores a variety of social, political, cultural and economic heritage discourses, making explicit the relationship between cultural and natural heritage.

Archaeological Histories

The Art and Archaeology of Human Engagements with Birds of Prey From Prehistory to the Present

Edited by Robert J. Wallis,

Open University,

UK

Of all avian groups, birds of prey in particular have long been a prominent subject of fascination in many human societies. This book demonstrates that the art and materiality of human engagements with raptors has been significant through deep time and across the world, from earliest prehistory to Indigenous thinking in the present day. Drawing on a wide range of global case studies and a plurality of complementary perspectives, it explores the varied and fluid dynamics between humans and birds of prey as evidenced in this diverse art-historical and archaeological record.

Knossos

Myth, History and Archaeology

James Whitley, Cardiff University, UK

Knossos is one of the most important sites in the ancient Mediterranean. It remained amongst the largest settlements on the island of Crete from the Neolithic until the late Roman times, but aside from its size it held a place of particular significance in the mythological imagination of Greece and Rome as the seat of King Minos, the location of the Labyrinth and the home of the Minotaur.

Boys Love Media in Thailand

Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer

Popular Culture

Thomas Baudinette, Macquarie University, Australia

Over the past several years, the Thai popular culture landscape has radically transformed due to the emergence of “Boys Love” (BL) soap operas which celebrate the love between handsome young men. Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture is the first book length study of this increasingly significant transnational pop culture phenomenon. Drawing upon six years of ethnographic research, the book reveals BL’s impacts on depictions of same-sex desire in Thai media culture and the resultant mainstreaming of queer romance through new forms of celebrity and participatory fandom.

Advantage China Agent of Change in an Era of Global Disruption

Jeremy Garlick, University of Economics Prague, Czech Republic

The influence of the People’s Republic of China on world affairs is increasingly keenly felt: in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America and in Europe and North America too. But what are the reasons for China’s rise and how can the West adapt?

Advantage China explores these essential questions and the political, economic and cultural factors behind the answers. From the economic and demographic pressures of China’s domestic economy to the expanding economic influence of the Belt and Road Initiative, Jeremy Garlick looks beyond Western misperceptions of China’s rise to argue for new approaches to the international political order.

Hellenistic Literature and Culture

Studies in Honor of Susan A. Stephens

Edited by Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, Ohio State University, USA, Jacqueline Arthur-Montagne, University of Virginia, USA & Phiroze Vasunia, University College London, UK

In this book, leading Greek scholars explore the rich and diverse poetry and prose of the long Hellenistic period. Chapters focus on the poets of Alexandria such as Callimachus, Theocritus, Apollonius, and Posidippus and on prose texts written in Greek in the Roman Empire. This volume demonstrates the versatility of this literature and examines its multiple cultural affiliations. The Hellenistic writers emerge from this volume as complex, playful, and politically engaged figures, interested in the relationship between culture and society, and far removed from the stereotype of them as distant or elitist. This book makes a major contribution to the study of Hellenistic Greek culture.

Ermolao Barbaro's On Celibacy 1 and 2

Edited by Gareth Williams, Columbia University, USA

This volume offers the first annotated English translation of the first two books of On Celibacy (1473) by the eminent Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93); Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy are presented, along with Barbaro’s On the Duty of the Ambassador, in the companion piece to this first volume. Setting out the historical context that crucially conditions Barbaro’s advocacy of the celibate life in Books 1 and 2, the introduction examines how On Celibacy seeks to justify a contemplative existence that rejects the career path expected of a figure of Barbaro’s standing.

This book offers the first annotated translation in English of two works of the eminent Venetian humanist, Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93). Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy seek to justify a contemplative existence at a far remove from the active life and career-path expected of a figure of Barbaro’s standing within the Venetian patriciate; Books 1 and 2 of On Celibacy are presented in the companion piece to this second volume. The second work presented here is Barbaro’s short treatise On the Duty of Ambassador based on Barbaro’s own practical experience as a Venetian envoy abroad, this treatise outlines the conduct expected of the dedicated career diplomat.

Roger Ascham’s Themata Theologica

Lucy R. Nicholas, King’s College London, UK Roger Ascham's most famous works, The Scholemaster and Toxophilus, have been extensively excerpted in studies on prose style and English humanism. By contrast, his Latin works that centred on theology and key Reformation concerns have languished in the shadows of modern scholarship. Ascham’s Themata Theologica (Theological Propositions) is one of these. This little-known text of eleven ‘themes’ offers a rare opportunity both to trace the course of Ascham’s own religious development and examine the confessional climate at Cambridge University during one of the most turbulent periods of the Reformation.

Jokes in Greek Comedy

From Puns to Poetics

Naomi Scott, University of Nottingham, UK

In ancient Greek comedy, nothing is ever ‘just a joke’. This book treats jokes with the seriousness they deserve, and shows that far from being mere surface-level phenomena, jokes in Greek comedy are in fact a site of poetic experimentation whose creative force expressly rivals that of serious literature.

The Spartan Scytale and Developments in Ancient and Modern Cryptography

Martine Diepenbroek, University of Bristol, UK

This book offers a comprehensive review and reassessment of the classical sources describing the cryptographic Spartan device known as the scytale. Challenging the view promoted by modern historians which see the scytale as a simple ‘stick’, Diepenbroek argues for its deserved status as a vehicle for secret communication in the ancient world. By way of comparison, Diepenbroek demonstrates that the cryptographic principles employed in the Spartan scytale show an encryption and coding system that is no less complex than some 20th-century transposition ciphers.

Presenting a new perspective on human–animal relations in the ancient Near East, this volume considers how we should understand equids (horses, donkeys, onagers and various hybrids) as animals that are social actors. Recht brings together a wealth of new data, including Bronze Age Near Eastern material culture from a range of archaeological contexts with equid remains as well as iconography and texts. She looks in particular at finds of equids themselves from burials, sacred space and settlements alongside associated artefacts such as chariots and harnesses.

The Hero Cults of Sparta Local Religion in a Greek City

Nicolette A. Pavlides, University of Edinburgh, UK

This book examines the hero-cults of Sparta on the basis of the archaeological and literary sources. Nicolette Pavlides explores the local idiosyncrasies of a pan-Hellenic phenomenon, which itself can help us understand the place and function of heroes in Greek religion. Although it has long been noted that hero-cult was especially popular in Sparta, there is little known about the cults, both in terms of material evidence and the historical context for their popularity. The evidence from the cult of Helen and Menelaos at the Menelaion, the worship of Agamemnon and Alexandra/Kassandra, the Dioskouroi, and others who remain anonymous to us, is viewed as a local phenomenon reflective of the developing communal and social consciousness of the polis.

Living and Cursing in the Roman West

Curse Tablets and Society

Stuart McKie, The Open University, UK

"[A] very full and detailed treatment of curse tablets ... [with] an imaginative but convincing reconstruction of their use and context." Roger Tomlin, University of Oxford, UK

Focusing on the Roman west, this book examines the rituals of cursing, their cultural contexts, and their impact on the lives of those who practised them. This study not only encourages greater understanding of the individual practice of curse rituals but also reveals how these objects can inform ongoing debates surrounding power, agency and social relationships in the Roman provinces.

New Perspectives on the Hellenistic Peloponnese History, Politics and Material Culture

Edited by Manolis Pagkalos, University of Groningen, the Netherlands & Andrea Scarpato, De Montfort University, UK

This volume fills a gap in current research on the Hellenistic Peloponnese, complementing and challenging traditional interpretations by adopting new perspectives on its complex social and political history. The individual chapters promote interdisciplinary approaches to ancient evidence and examine aspects of the region's interstate relations, contemporary politics and modes of representation that have been relatively little studied to date. Together they afford a much more well-rounded picture of the Hellenistic Peloponnese and form a rich basis for broadening scholarly debate and stimulating further research on the area.

Translated by Stephen Menn, McGill University, Canada

With this translation, all twelve volumes of translation of Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics have been published. In Physics 1.1–2, Aristotle raises the question of the number and character of the first principles of nature and feels the need to oppose the challenge of the paradoxical Eleatic philosophers who had denied that there could be more than one unchanging thing. This volume, part of the groundbreaking Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, translates into English for the first time Simplicius' commentary on this selected text, and includes a brief introduction, extensive explanatory notes, indexes and a bibliography.

Barcode

Jordan Frith, Clemson University, USA

Barcodes are about as ordinary as an object can be. They’re everywhere and impact how we shop, how we travel, and how the global economy is managed. Early on, barcodes were protested against by consumer groups and labor unions and since then have been depicted as a symbol for capitalism and surveillance in art and literature. Now, their “ordinariness” is the ultimate symbol of their success. After all, barcodes have remained mostly unchanged for the last 50 years, and still billions of them are scanned each day. Behind the mundanity of the barcode lies an important and interesting history.

Shakespeare on Prejudice

'Scorns and Mislike' in Shakespeare's Plays

B. J. Sokol, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK

How are various forms of prejudice portrayed in the works of Shakespeare and to what extent does Shakespeare differ from his contemporaries in their portrayal? What can we learn about Shakespeare's times and our own through a close reading of prejudice depicted in his plays? Through detailed analysis of his plays, comparison with the works of other Elizabethan writers and a consideration of Shakespeare's social environment, the study provides an appreciation of how Shakespeare represents prejudice against education, the arts, peace, ‘strangers’ or outsiders, and sexual love.

Shakespeare’s House A Window onto his Life and Legacy

Based on original research, this book traces the history of Shakespeare’s birthplace, beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, and ending in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today.

Listening and Talking

A Pathway to Acting

Evan Yionoulis, Julliard, New York, USA

Introduction to Acting: Listening and Talking provides undergraduate acting students with a clear, achievable, step-by-step way to approach the work of playing a role. The text is supplemented by exclusive video material to take the actor from their first encounter with the text through rehearsals with fellow actors and into performance.

Drawing from the author's twenty years' experience of teaching at the Yale School of Drama, this book, which is influenced, too, by the work of legendary teachers such as Konstantin Stanislavski and Uta Hagen, presents a thorough examination of key aspects of the actor's technique (for example, listening, playing an action and pursuing an objective). Throughout, it includes exercises and process points through which students can put into practice the key lessons from each chapter.

The practices laid out in this book form a holistic curriculum that not only ensures measurable results over a semester- or year-long course, but also sets in motion an internal process that will serve the student over their life as an artist.

Contemporary British Musicals: ‘Out of the Darkness’

Edited by Gus Gowland & Clare Chandler

The shortest runs can have the longest legacies: for too long, scholarship surrounding British musical theatre has coalesced around the biggest names, ignoring important works that perhaps aren’t given the critical insights they deserve.

Through academic interrogation and industry insight, this unique collection of essays recognizes these works, shining a light on their creative achievements and long legacies. Touching on key, hit shows such as SIX, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, The Grinning Man and Bend it Like Beckham, each chapter discusses different theatrical elements, from dramaturgy and musicology to reception.

Dance in Musical Theatre A History of the Body in Movement

Edited by Phoebe Rumsey & Dustyn Martincich

Through a selection of essays, this book conceptualizes the function of dance in musical theatre in multiple ways: how it functions diegetically as a part of the story or non-diegetically as an amplification of emotion, as well as how the dancing body works to reveal character psychology by expressing an unspoken aspect of the libretto, embodying emotions or ideas through metaphor or abstraction.

Interweaving Histories of Indian Dance

Both a biography and a history, this book explores the significant role that Indian dancer Ram Gopal (1912-2003) played in bringing Indian dance to international audiences from the 1930s to the late 1960s. Ann R. David unearths a fascinating narrative about Ram Gopal - the individual and the dancer - drawing on interviews with his remaining family, costume-makers, friends, dance partners, fellow dancers and audience members, and ultimately argues that Gopal single-handedly changed the perception of Indian dance abroad.

This is the first book to offer a clear introduction to Kattaikkuttu (or Terukkuttu), a vibrant, vocal and physical outdoor Tamil theatre tradition.

It traces the theatre’s disentanglement from its organic embedding into the social and ritual village organization and its transition towards a more autonomous and more professional theatre form during the last 150 years, providing case studies of all-night plays, and examines more recent developments in the form.

Noël Coward

The Playwright’s Craft in a Changing Theatre

Russell Jackson, University of Birmingham, UK

This is the first book-length work to draw extensively on archive material to document the craft behind the sophisticated polish of some of Noël Coward's most successful work. It documents his progress from the ‘boy playwright’ of 1920 to the ‘Master’ of the post-war years, reading his work and practice against the changing social and political context.

As well as developing a fuller critical understanding of Coward’s work, the book reveals him as a playwright who disguised the care he devoted to his writing, and whose quest for new formal and thematic approaches, while not always successful, was invariably adventurous.

Staging Decadence

Theatre, Performance, and the Ends of Capitalism

Adam Alston, Goldsmiths University of London, UK

Staging Decadence offers the first scholarly consideration of decadence in theatre, focusing on an international range of practitioners who embody, enact or subvert the excesses of twenty-first century capitalism. It does so by introducing and ultimately embracing decadence as a valuable take on radical theatre in beleaguered economies. What emerges is an opportunity to consider decadence as a stage upon which cultural values are forged, contested or undermined.

Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance

Erika Hughes, University of Portsmouth, UK

The first critical examination of youth-focused plays and performances about the Holocaust, this volume considers works by young authors as well as pieces taken from the diaries and memoirs of children and adolescents who experienced the Holocaust. While youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the repertories of top professional companies throughout the world for decades and are often performed in theatres, schools and community centers, they are frequently neglected in studies of Holocaust theatre. Hughes fills this gap by examining plays, musicals, performances, scripts, performative museum installations and pedagogically-focused works of applied theatre for young audiences.

The main concepts are exposed through a comparative analysis of historical processes, political actions and artistic works from different periods. Key concepts, such as representation, identity, care, cruelty, violence, memory and testimony are considered through investigation of work such as Angelica Liddel’s theatre pieces, Rabih Mroué and Lina Majdalanie’s performances, Albertina Carri, Basilio Martín Patino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s films, and Mapa Teatro’s transdisciplinary creations.

Stage Management Communication Design as Scenography

Michael Smalley

Drawing on interview material from more than 20 leading stage managers from the UK, USA and Australia this book situates the contemporary practice of stage management within its historical and social contexts. Questioning the notions of the invisible stage manager and a linear production process, it argues for a broader conception of stage management lying at the intersections of administration, management and artistry.

It places stage management practice within, and introduces its practitioners to, key theories of fields as diverse as performance studies, semiotics, phenomenology, distributed cognition, management and scenography, and demonstrates how stage managers embed these in their practice.

Staging Ancient Greek Plays A Practical Guide

Michael Ewans, University of Newcastle, Australia

This indispensable guide offers directors and actors an excellent starting point for mounting their production. Looking briefly first at the conditions of ancient Greek performance and the conventions of the Greek theatre, this practical guide goes on to explore, with analysed examples, the issues that today's theatre-makers need to consider in order to successfully stage ancient Greek drama. The final part of the book examines larger questions, around values, myth, the individual, the gods and fate – all of which need to be taken into consideration when approaching a contemporary production.

How the Print Media Define and Represent Teachers and Their Work

Nicole Mockler, University of Sydney, Australia

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic exploration of print media discourses around teachers and their work, using over 86,000 articles published in Australian print media from 1998 to 2017 as a case study. Mockler also draws on print media texts of other countries including the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. It employs an innovative combination of large-scale corpus-assisted analysis and close qualitative analysis to identify and explore representations of teachers in the print media, how they are constructed and how these constructions have changed and shifted over the past two decades.

The Educational Leader in a World of Covert Threats

Creating Multi-Level Sustainability

Mike Bottery, University of Hull, UK

This book describes the impact of five covert threats to sustainability at micro-, meso-, and macro- levels, and how understanding and meeting these threats affects and changes the thought, values, and practice underpinning the educational leadership role. It argues that such awareness should similarly alter the focus of educational institutions, and of inspectoral processes on these institutions, and needs to become part of the cultural zeitgeist of present-day societies if future generations are to inherit a sustainable world.

Leading Educational Networks Theory, Policy and Practice

Toby Greany, University of Nottingham, UK & Annelies Kamp, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

This book draws on four lenses (educational effectiveness and improvement, governance theory, complexity theory, and Actor-Network Theory) to assess the limits and possibilities for collaboration by analysing case studies of networks in Aotearoa New Zealand and England. The authors explore different perspectives and network forms, including lateral school-to-school partnerships and meta-networks involving multiple stakeholders. They examine why and how networks have become a feature of education systems worldwide and the implications for policy, practice and research. They analyse how networks form, develop, reform, and achieve impact, but also why they can be challenging and fail to achieve their ambitions, before drawing out the implications for leaders and the further development of leadership.

Finding Froebel

The Man Who Invented Kindergarten

Ulf Sauerbrey, Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany, Helge Wasmuth, Mercy College, USA & Michael Winkler, Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena, Germany

Friedrich Froebel, the ‘father of kindergarten’, is one of the most influential educationalists of the 19th century, but relatively little is known about his life, and his successes and failures. Based on his letters which have never been translated into English, this book reveals Froebel as a brilliant and flawed man who only began to receive real recognition for his work at the end of his life and then increasingly after his death.

Lelia Green, Edith Cowan University, Australia, Leslie Haddon, London School of Economics, UK, Donell Holloway, Edith Cowan University, Australia, Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics, UK, Brian O’Neill, Technological University Dublin, Ireland & Kylie Stevenson, Edith Cowan University, Australia

Including a glossary of key terms, this book draws on a three-year research project examining the realities of 0-5 years olds’ experiences of these technologies in the UK and Australia. The authors draw heavily on Vygotsky and engage with other thinkers including Bronfenbrenner and Bruner. It explores how parents of young children evaluate these opportunities and concerns, and how they try to work out ways to parent in relation to technologies they did not experience in their own childhood. The book examines how digital technologies fit in with other elements of children’s daily lives including their preferences, pleasures and sociability.

Class, Place, and Higher Education

Experiences of Homely Mobility

Alexandra Coleman, Western Sydney University, Australia

Challenging the myth that participation in higher education necessarily leads to upward social mobility, this book explores how the rewards of higher education are unevenly distributed. It considers how visions of a good life are class differentiated and argues for the significance of place when examining experiences of higher education. Through an attention to the existential and social dimensions of mobility, Coleman develops the term “homely mobility” to describe the pull of home and degrees of mobility in place. Structural inequalities are an embodied dimension of social being and action, and this book affords insights into broader processes of reproduction and transformation.

Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility

Imaginative Responses

Edited by Darlene E. Clover, University of Victoria, Canada, Kathy Sanford, University of Victoria, Canada & Kerry Harman, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

Feminist pedagogies and research have taken an ‘aesthetic turn’ in recent years. Within our current context of intensifying gender, racial, class and ecological injustices and inequalities, and the #MeToo movement in diverse forms around the world, this book argues that feminist aesthetics can inform our responses to these problems. The book illustrates the critical, creative and provocative pedagogical theorising, research, and engagement work of feminist educators and researchers who work in diverse community, institutional, and social movement contexts across North America and Europe.

A Critical Anthropology of Childhood in Haiti

Emotion, Power, and White Saviours

Diane M. Hoffman

This book offers a critical anthropological perspective on contemporary childhood in Haiti. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out over a period of 13 years with vulnerable children in Haiti. Diane M. Hoffman raises important questions about how interventions by wellmeaning foreigners misrepresent Haitian culture as deficient, often in ways that reinforce their own power to control, define and narrate Haitian lives. She argues for a new approach to Haitian childhood that centers childhood learning and self-education alongside the ethics of personhood and indigenous spirituality that can resist the hegemony of neo-colonial and neo-liberal forces.

Class, Race, Disability and Mental Health in Higher Education

Questioning the Access, Success and Progression of Disadvantaged Students

Mike Seal, University of Suffolk, UK

In this book, Seal examines the terminology, theoretical debates and positions, identifies the causes of gaps, and evaluates proposed initiatives. He argues that there is an unexamined assumption that higher education is a ‘good thing’ materially and intellectually, which demonises those for whom this is questionable. The book also highlights the continuing structural and individual discrimination in terms of class, race and disability and a denial of the extent to which higher education is a cause of mental health issues and negative well-being.

The Disaster of Resilience

Education, Digital Privatisation, and Profiteering

Kenneth J. Saltman, University of Illinois

Chicago, USA

The Disaster of Resilience shows how resilience discourse is interwoven with the new digital directions of educational privatization. Saltman argues that resilience has provided the justification for new educational profiteering, creating a climate which individualizes collective responsibilities, depoliticizes and dehistoricizes knowledge and curriculum, and falsely grounds its politics in a mashup of pseudo-science and human capital theory. He argues that we must replace resilience discourse with pedagogies and curriculum that allow students not only to endure the intolerable conditions they find themselves in, but to see beyond those conditions and to act collectively to change them.

Justice Matters

Gloria Ladson-Billings, University of WisconsinMadison, USA

Ladson-Billings shows how the pandemic has exposed deep injustices in society, and how schooling and the curriculum are largely blind to the race, White supremacy, and the racial trauma that plagues marginalized people. She interrogates the meaning of justice, looking at Western notions of justice from Aristotle to Kant to Rorty, alongside Eastern notions of Justice, from Lao Tzu, to Rumi to Frantz Fanon and W.E.B. Dubois. Offering hope for a way forward, she looks at how hip hop can champion justice, and considers justice in the context of social movements, including Black Lives Matter, MoveOn.org, and #MeToo.

New Materialisms and Embodied Encounters in Education

Curiosity’s Vital Potential

Cala Coats, Arizona State University, USA

With this open access book, Cala Coats develops a theory of “vital curiosity” as a transdisciplinary educational force that activates ecological flows of connection. In the book, curiosity becomes a critical learning disposition and creative process, tracing embodied encounters through aesthetic disruptions and attractions, activating questions and durational commitments toward affirmative complexity. Drawing on new materialist and posthuman theories, the book puts forward an image of educational life, as it extends from curiosity, as a radical pedagogical practice.

Collaboration Philosophy of Education in Practice

Amy Shuffelton, Loyola University Chicago, USA

The book asks: to whom should one be loyal and what are the limits of loyalty? Whose ends is any collaborative endeavour upholding? Should I make those my own? These are questions children learn to answer in schools, through the formal and informal education that happens there. Amy Shuffelton explores those questions in the context of children’s lives in schools, including examples from films, literature, and children’s own accounts of moral dilemmas they face around questions of friendship, authority, and their own developing agency. The book closes with a set of ethical guidelines for teachers.

Using a critical pragmatist framing of the concept of responsibility, Stengel shows how greater attention to responsibly allows for a deeper understanding of diversity and equity and individual and common goods. It enables a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions of teaching and learning prospectively in growth rather than retrospectively in blame. The philosophical discussion of responsibility is coupled with discussion of the lived experiences of students, teachers, aides, and administrators and draws evidence from a case study of a middle school turnaround in Nashville, USA.

Emotions

Philosophy of Education in Practice

Liz Jackson

Schools and other forms of education and have significant impacts on people’s views about emotions and emotional experiences. It shows how we often take it for granted that certain emotions, such as happiness, are ‘positive’, while others are ‘negative’ and how personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, and race, can make an unfair difference when it comes to what emotions are expected or accepted. Written in an accessible format, the book encourages broad reflection on what emotions are and why they matter, in relation to the aims of education, what it means to be a good person, and equality and social justice.

Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being

Noah De Lissovoy, The University of Texas at Austin, USA

This book investigates the relationship between capitalism and coloniality in society and education, and reconceptualizes emancipatory theory and pedagogy in response. Reframing central categories in Western critical thought, De Lissovoy exposes a logic of violation at the heart of capitalist accumulation and argues that we need to attend to epistemological and ontological orders of domination within which subjectivity takes shape. De Lissovoy shows how a new critical imaginary, in schools and other educational spaces, can reconstruct pedagogical relationships in the mode of a decolonial and democratic commons.

Powell and Pressburger’s War

The Art of Propaganda, 1939-1946

Greg M. Colón Semenza, University of Connecticut, USA & Garrett A. Sullivan Jr., Penn State University, USA

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger are widely hailed as two of the greatest filmmakers in British cinema history. This book shows that they saw no contradiction between their aesthetic ambitions and their cinematic war work: propaganda imperatives were highly conducive to their objectives as both commercial cinema practitioners and artists. This book charts three phases in their wartime career: firsttime collaborators striving to reconcile popular cinematic forms with notions of effective propaganda; accomplished, sometimes controversial, propagandists whose movies center upon Britain’s relations with its enemies and allies; filmmakers who focus on both propaganda requirements of the late war and the post-war future.

Modernity, Intermediality and the Uncanny

Hajnal Király, Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania

Organized by tropes and topics, rather than chronological order, this volume creates a unique lens with which to focus on the links between cinema, literature, painting, and other art forms in Manoel de Oliveira's work. Hajnal Király reads the films in relation to 20th-century Portuguese, European and global history. Many of Oliveira's over 50 films are discussed, including Rite of Spring (1963) and Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl (2009). The only book to cover his later films, this book uncovers the persistent topics that permeates his oeuvre.

This volume explores the diverse aspects of Ashish Avikunthak’s work, whose films are art as resistance. The essays rigorously interrogate, contextualize, theorize, and interpret Avikunthak’s multi-decade sustained artistic output. The current global assertion of authoritarianism and one-dimensional interpretations of cultural history and practice provide a timely and essential historical moment in which to dialogue with Avikunthak’s films, because Avikunthak’s cinema consciously contests totalizing historical and artistic narratives and constructs frameworks of existential uncertainty and fragmentation that force us to reflect on the increasing political, economic, social, and climate chaos that is infusing and shaping our early 21st century global ontology.

The Red Shoes

Pamela Hutchinson, freelance writer and critic, London, UK

Pamela Hutchinson's study of The Red Shoes (1948) examines the film's breathtaking use of Technicolor, music, choreography, editing and art direction at the zenith of Powell and Pressburger’s capacity for ‘composed cinema’. Through a close reading of key scenes, particularly the film's famous extended ballet sequence, she considers the unconventional use of ballet as uncanny spectacle and the feminist implications of the central story of female sacrifice.

Rushmore

Kristi Irene McKim, Hendrix College, USA

Rushmore, the second film of the American independent filmmaker Wes Anderson, won immediate critical and commercial success on its release in 1998, and quickly gained the status of a cult classic. Kristi McKim's compelling study of the melancholic coming-of-age comedy explores how the film both typifies the relentless drive of its hero Max as he pursues his many and varied extra-curricular passions, and foregrounds 'transcendent moments' of stillness and quiet connection.

Demetrios Matheou's study of Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973) considers the contexts of the film's production, namely that of the New Hollywood and the rise of a young generation of film school-educated directors striving to break the stale mold of studio pictures. He analyses the significance of Scorsese’s background as a Catholic Italian-American living in Little Italy and how this influenced the film’s themes; its production history; the particular aspects of his filmmaking process and style; his relationships with stars De Niro and Harvey Keitel and writer Mardik Martin, the film's reception and its subsequent influence on film and TV crime drama.

Scott Freer, University of Leicester, UK

Scott Freer contextualizes the 1970s disaster cycle, drawing on the longer cultural history of modernist reactions to modern anxieties including the widespread dependence on technology and corporate power. He introduces a historicist perspective by placing the film genre within the immediate context of American high modernity whilst engaging with relevant philosophical, theological and eco-critical ideas on evil, determinism, and human nature. Freer explores the aesthetic theories of modern tragedy as a means of explaining the power of disaster movies as a form of ethical criticism.

The American Abroad offers a fresh way of thinking about Hollywood film aesthetics. It explores how eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Western colonial formations of vision influenced classical Hollywood film style, and thus provides a new and unique perspective on the origins of the cinematic gaze. Anna Cooper explores how postwar Hollywood cinema adopted elements of British and French imperial visual culture, transforming them to suit a new United Statesian context. Cooper argues that four visual discourses in particular—the sublime, the ethnographic, the picturesque, and glamour—became building blocks in the development of a new American visual language.

Altman, Coppola, Friedkin and the Hollywood Renaissance Auteur in the 1980s

Chris Horn, University of Leicester, UK

This book provides an analysis of Hollywood from a fresh viewpoint that shows the careers of Robert Altman, Francis Coppola, William Friedkin, and others in the 1980s as far from conforming to a monolithic pattern of decline, but rather as diverse and complex responses to political and industrial changes. Behind the homogenous picture of the decline of the auteur in 1980s American cinema are films and careers that merit greater attention, and this book offers a new way to perceive individual films, American film history, and the viability of sustained authorial creativity within post-studio era Hollywood.

Uncanny Cinema Agonies of the Viewing Experience

Murray Pomerance, Independent scholar, Canada

Murray Pomerance's new book explores a wide range of films and television shows to demonstrate how difficult the process of conveying the experience of viewing cinema through words and the medium of text is. The book begins with this problem before delving into three exploratory ‘movements’ arranged to challenge, inspire, and confound the reader. Through several case studies, Pomerance presents the moments where the viewer is faced with disturbances, ruptures, and surprises that occur, analyzing each so that we reconsider what we do and do not (or, possibly, cannot) know, particularly as we think, talk, and write about cinema.

Romy Schneider A Star Across Europe

Marion Hallet, King’s College London, UK

This book explores the star image of Austrian born actress Romy Schneider (1938-1982). Her evolving role – sweet Viennese girl, Parisienne, ‘modern’ and ‘tragic’ woman – together with her acting choices and events in her private life, led her career into varied and fascinating directions within European and Hollywood cinemas. Romy Schneider shows how the representations of women stemming from Schneider’s star image supported specific and shifting cultural and social agendas regarding femininity, from the 1950s to the 1980s. This book explores the significance of Schneider’s image both when she was working and since, within Western European film culture and celebrity culture.

Cinema and Secularism is the first collection to make the relationship between cinema and secularism thematic, utilizing myriad methodological approaches. Prompted by the recent emergence of critical secular studies, this book sets out to rectify the assumption within film studies that cinema is secular and to invite critical reflection upon its titular terms. The collection poses for the first time in the study of film the questions: Is cinema secular? And what would that mean? Chapters in this book engage with film thinkers and traditions of thought, the relationship between cinema and enchantment, and distinct manifestations of secularism.

Sportswomen in Cinema Film and the Frailty Myth

Nicholas Chare

Sportswomen in Cinema considers both documentary and fiction films from a variety of periods and cultures, by directors including Kathryn Bigelow, Gurinder Chadha, Im Soon-rye, George Kukor, Ida Lupino, and Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing from psychoanalytic and phenomenological theories, the book presents a series of landmark close readings of films featuring a variety of different forms of athletic activity, including baseball, basketball, bodybuilding, boxing, climbing, football, rollerderby, surfing, tennis and track and field. In focusing on themes such as gesture, screen space and sound, it moves beyond a purely narrative analysis of sports films. What's more, as well as building on existing scholarship in sports studies to argue that sport should always be conceived of as more than simply competitive, the book also contributes to ongoing efforts in film theory to foster new feminist discourses on sexual difference..

Film Figures An Organological Approach

Warwick Mules, Southern Cross University, Australia

Film Figures offers the reader fresh insights into cinematic worlds through the figural analysis of narrative film. Drawing on the work of Deleuze, Lacan and Benjamin, this book offers new concepts to engage in film analysis. Each chapter undertakes an extensive analytical reading of a key film, including those by Murnau, Hitchcock, Lang, Lynch and Haneke, guided by a concept to follow the negentropic movement of figures through the world of the film. This book explores technological, cultural and philosophical concerns through the plight of figures as symptomatic of the estrangement of modern life.

The Dark Interval Film Noir, Iconography, and Affect

Padraic Killeen, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland

Invoking key concepts from Deleuze and Agamben, The Dark Interval examines a subtle but distinct iconography of passivity, stillness and profound self-affection that recurs across noir films of every era. It identifies the emergence of a specific cinematic figure – the ‘intervallic’ noir protagonist exposed to the redemptive force of his or her own passion. The book locates a series of iconographic gestures, performance traditions and affective tonalities at once specific to noir and yet resonant with a deeper cultural and philosophical heritage. It is a meditation that uniquely grapples with the look and the feel of noir, and which dares to detect a unique quality of ‘beatitude’ that runs through a certain strain of noir films. In doing so, it illuminates why film noir remains one of the most provocative and affecting visual milieus of our time.

Invisible Digital

What Animation and Games Tell us about Software

and Digital Culture

Aylish Wood, University of Kent, UK

Invisible Digital helps us makes sense of something we cannot see by presenting an innovative approach to digital images and culture. At its heart is a novel method for exploring software used in the creation of moving images as markers of converging cultural, organizational and technological influences. The 3 main case studies are the animated feature Moana (2016) and the computer games No Man’s Sky (2016) and Everything (2017). These analyses of software provide a widely applicable method where moving image studies can contribute more fully to the wider and growing debates about algorithmic culture.

Podcast or Perish Peer Review and Knowledge Creation in the 21st Century

Hannah McGregor, Simon Fraser University, Canada, Ian M. Cook, Central European University, Hungary & Lori Beckstead, Ryerson University, Canada

Podcast or Perish maps out a rationale for the deployment of podcasting as an outlet for open peer review and explores real-world workflows for such a practice. The authors take a novel approach to expanding the boundaries of scholarly knowledge by considering podcasting as a focal point for intellectual discussion, engagement, and exploration. By investigating the historical development of the norms of scholarly communication, the unique affordances of sound-based scholarship, and the transformative potential of new modes of knowledge production, this book is a call to action, asking how podcasting might change the very ways we think about scholarly work.

Never-Ending Watchmen

Adaptations, Sequels, Prequels and Remixes

Will Brooker, Kingston University, UK

Will Brooker explores the way that Watchmen expanded over time from the mid-1980s to the present day, drawing on theories of adaptation, intertextuality and deconstruction to argue that each addition subtly changes our understanding of the original. Does it matter whether these adaptations are ‘faithful’? Can they ever be, as they cross over into another medium? How does each version enter a dialogue with the others? Can we relate the unstable, shifting stories of Watchmen to our contemporary climate of post-truth, where we have to weigh up contradictory versions of the facts and decide which we believe?

While recent post-humanist philosophies support the elevation of algorithmic objects to autonomous and sentient beings, this philosophical discourse is overlooked as well as the transformation that has happened to the materiality of our everyday lives embedded with these smart objects. Sungyong Ahn discovers the new form of economic and political power whose algorithmic governance finds its justification from our newly-cultivated paranoia about unknown computational problems. It argues how this power mobilizes various algorithmic and ontological objects—from a smartwatch to a smart building—to identify a greater number of hidden problems within the physical domains of the Internet of Things.

Transnational Arab Stardom Glamour, Performance and Politics

Edited by Kaya Davies Hayon, University of Lincoln, UK & Stefanie Van de Peer, Queen Margaret University, UK

This book is the first dedicated entirely to Arab stars across diverse media, regions, and eras. It addresses a gap in existing scholarship – usually focused on isolated studies of iconic Egyptian stars – and advances the field, bringing feminist and transnational film and star studies to bear on Arab stars. Transnational Arab Stardom sheds new light on major stars across the Arab world and broadens contemporary understandings to include queer celebrities and social media influencers. The collection adds exciting perspectives, exploring Arab artists’ intertexts, audiences, receptions and after-lives, and proposing new concepts such as group star power and producer-power.

Postfeminism and Contemporary Vampire Romance Representations of Gender and Sexuality in Film and Television

Lea Gerhards, Leibniz Institute for Psychology Information, Germany

Lea Gerhards traces the connections between three recent vampire romance series that have tremendous discursive and ideological power - the Twilight film series (2008-2012) and two TV series, The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017) and True Blood (2008-2014) - to explore the cultural politics of these popular texts. She uses contemporary vampire romance to examine postfeminist ideologies and discuss gender, sexuality, subjectivity, agency and the body.

Feminist Fandom Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr

Briony Hannell, The University of Sheffield, UK Feminist Fandom is the first book of its kind to examine how fannish and feminist modes of cultural consumption, production, and critique are increasingly converging within the digital context, and are subsequently opening up informal, ordinary, and everyday spaces for young people to engage with feminism. Adopting an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, bringing together feminist cultural studies, feminist theory, digital sociology, and fan studies, the book locates media fandom at the intersection of the multi-directional and co-constitutive relationship between popular feminisms, popular culture, and participatory networked digital cultures.

The Maternal, Digital Subjectivity, and the Aesthetics of Interruption

EL Putnam, Maynooth University, Ireland

Bringing together philosophies of the maternal with digital technology may appear to be an arbitrary pairing. However, reading them intertextually through select artistic practices reveals how both encompass an aesthetics of interruption that becomes a novel means of understanding subjectivity. EL Putnam investigates how certain artists’ digital performances, including Aideen Barry, Amanda Coogan, Natalie Loveless, and Megan Wynne rupture existing representations of the maternal. These artists take advantage of the formal properties of digital media in order to interrupt visual and aural constructions through an immanent merging of the performing body with digital technology.

Feel-Bad Postfeminism

Impasse, Resilience and Female Subjectivity in Popular Culture

Catherine McDermott, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

Catherine McDermott's analysis of Gone Girl (2012), Girls (2012–2017) and Appropriate Behaviour (2012) illuminates a major cultural turn in which the pleasures of postfeminist empowerment curdle into a profound sense of rage and resentment. By contrast, close examination of The Hunger Games (2008–2010), Girlhood (2014) and Catch Me Daddy (2014) reveals that contemporary genres are increasingly constructing girls as uniquely capable of resiliently overcoming and adapting to unforgiving social conditions. McDermott provides crucial insight into what growing up during empowerment postfeminism feels like.

Edited by Simona De Iulio, University of Lille (Laboratory GERIICO), France & Susan Kovacs, Enssib Library and Information Science school, Villeurbanne, France

This book advances our understanding of the processes of formulation, mediatisation, circulation and reception of knowledge relating to food, within specific social environments and within differing informational and communicational contexts. It looks at topics including: the kinds of knowledge about food which were popularised in the past and which circulate today; the public and private sphere actors who carry out the communication and educational initiatives, as well as on the information practices, which underlie and support these initiatives; and the political and ideological implications of food information, communication and education.

Alcohol, Binge Sobriety and Exemplary Abstinence

Julie Robert, Griffith University, Australia

Where did Temporary Sobriety Initiatives (TSIs) such as Dry January, FebFast and Ocsober, come from? And what is their role, if any, in prompting people to revisit their relationship with alcohol? This book considers these campaigns as part of a lifestyle movement that transcends single events and even singular national contexts. It uses case studies from Australia, the USA and the UK to examine both the short history of TSIs as a response to problematic localized drinking cultures—including binge drinking—and their relationship to a much longer and transnational history of temperance activism.

Bryce Evans, Liverpool Hope University, UK While the history of food on the home front in wartime Britain has mostly focused on rationing, this book reveals the importance and scale of nationwide communal dining schemes during this era. Welcomed by some as a symbol of a progressive future in which ‘wasteful’ home dining would disappear, and derided by others for threatening the social order, these sites of food and eating attracted great political and cultural debate. Using extensive primary source material, Feeding the People in Wartime Britain examines the cuisine served in these communal restaurants and the people who used them.

A Short History of the Weimar Republic

Revised Edition

Colin Storer, University of Warwick, UK

It is impossible to understand the history of modern Europe without some knowledge of the Weimar Republic. The brief fourteen-year period of democracy between the Treaty of Versailles and the advent of the Third Reich was marked by unstable government, economic crisis and hyperinflation and the rise of extremist political movements. At the same time, however, a vibrant cultural scene flourished. Incorporating original research and a synthesis of the existing historiography, this revised edition will provide students and a general readership with a clear and concise introduction to the history of the first German Republic.

Male Suicide and Masculinity in 19th-century Britain

Stories of Self-Destruction

Lyndsay Galpin

This book examines the narratives that surrounded cases of male suicides in 19thcentury Britain, showing how interpretations of suicidal motives were guided by gendered expectations of behaviour, and that these expectations were constructed to create meaning and understanding for family, friends and witnesses. Providing an insight into how people of this era understood suicidal behaviour and motives, it challenges the assertion that suicide was seen as a distinctly feminine act, and that men who took their own lives were feminized as a result.

The first study to analyse the joint development of the prison and the workhouse in 19th-century England, focusing on the roles played by key local reformers in shaping their design, form and function. Whilst the introduction of the Gaol Act in 1823 marked a shift towards more disciplined institutional regimes, the local nature of prison and workhouse development meant no two institutions operated in the same way. As a result, the nature of local prison and workhouse regimes, while impacted by national developments, was chiefly the result of complex and evolving ideas held by local figures.

The Fear of Chinese Power An International History

Jeffrey Crean, Tyler Junior College, USA

The real and potential power of China, the world’s most populous nation, has long been seen as a threat by its smaller neighbors and global powers alike. The Fear of Chinese Power provides a history of this perceived threat from the 1880s to the present day, and offers rich historical context to an enduring and current concern. Focusing on the United States, but also exploring perceptions from Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union and Japan, this book asks why these fears exist and shows how they have played out on both a strategic, diplomatic level, and in the public sphere.

From World War to Postwar Revolution, Cold War, Decolonization, and the Rise of American Hegemony, 1943-1958

Andrew N. Buchanan, University of Vermont, USA

Offering a global account of the ‘long’ World War II, this book challenges narratives of a clearly defined war period (1939-1945) followed by a postwar era dominated by the encroaching Cold War. Arguing that while some aspects of the war did end abruptly in 1945, in many corners of the world ‘war’ bled directly into the ‘postwar’ such as Allied Occupation in Italy, civil war in Greece, US hegemony, and struggles for national liberation in India - showing how critical developments in the latter half of the 20th century were a direct result of the Second World War.

Basketball Empire France and the Making of a Global NBA and WNBA

Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff, Independent historian, journalist and consultant

In this book, Lindsay Krasnoff shows how France and its colonial connections have been central to the global spread of the NBA and WNBA.

Including interviews with players, sports journalists, league directors and coaches past and present, it uncovers the transatlantic networks and complex Franco-American relations that have nurtured a mutual exchange of culture, technical skill and knowledge. These first-hand accounts, supported by government and media archives, show how these forms of sports diplomacy have sowed the seeds of a basketball revolution and made the NBA and WNBA a global cultural entity.

Locating the Transatlantic in Twentieth-century Politics, Diplomacy and Culture

Edited by Gaynor Johnson, University of Kent, UK

Written in tribute to the work of Professor Alan Dobson, this collection of essays brings diplomacy and the Anglo-American relationship together, considering political interactions in tandem with cultural interactions. Uniquely placed to define exactly what transatlanticism is, and to explore the ways in which this idea has evolved in the last 150 years, this book asks to what extent can it be argued that there was a transatlantic world; how can it be defined and what was unique about it?

Quantitative History and Uncharted People

Case Studies from the South African Past

Edited

by Johan Fourie

Showcasing 13 case studies from the South African past, this book applies quantitative sources, tools and methods to social histories from below to uncover the experiences of unchartered peoples. Examining the occupations of slaves, victims of the Spanish flu, health of schoolchildren and more, it shows how quantitative tools can be particularly powerful in regions where historical records are preserved, but questions of bias and prejudice pervade. Applying methods such as GIS mapping, network analysis and algorithmic matching techniques it explores histories of indigenous peoples, women, enslaved peoples and other groups marginalised in South African history.

Reparations for Slavery and the Slave Trade A Transnational and Comparative History

Ana Lucia Araujo, Howard University, USA

In this book, Ana Lucia Araujo shows that calls for reparations for slavery and the slave trade have persevered over a long and difficult history. Using a wealth of primary sources and drawing on the voices of victims, she traces the ways in which enslaved and freed individuals have conceptualized the idea of reparations since the 18th century. Taking the reader through the era of slavery, emancipation, post-abolition and the present day, this new edition boasts a new chapter that engages with the global impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, the seismic effect of the killing of George Floyd, calls for university reparations and the dismantling of statues. In doing so, Reparations for Slavery and the Slave Trade explores how the history of slavery is as current today as it ever has been.

A Brief History of Ancient China

Edward

L Shaughnessy

This book adapts a traditional Chinese historical format to present a multi-faceted account of the first two millennia of China’s earliest history: from the time of the legendary rulers Yao and Shun (c. 2000 BCE) to the end of the Qin dynasty (221207 BCE). Organised into five major sections, it examines the political shifts of the major dynasties, histories of local states, and the lives of key individuals. Drawing on analysis of textual and visual materials, Edward L. Shaughnessy offers detailed insight into the contemporary religious and philosophical landscape, governmental and legal practices, and innovations in writing, literature, and music.

Aristocrats, Anglo-Americans, and Transwar Ornithology

Annika A. Culver, Florida State University, USA

As a transnational history of science, Japan's Empire of Birds focuses on the political aspects of highly mobile Japanese explorer-scientists, or cosmopolitan gentlemen of science, circulating between Japanese and British/American spaces in the transwar period from the 1920s to 1950s. Inspired by geographer Diane Massey, themes covered in the volume include social space and place in these specific locations and how identities transform to garner social capital and scientific credibility in transnational associations and travel for non-white scientists.

Chronicling Westerners in Nineteenth-Century East Asia

Lives, Linkages, and Imperial Connections

Edited by Robert S.G. Fletcher, University of Missouri, USA & Robert Hellyer, Wake Forest University, USA

This book presents intimate portraits of Western lives and livelihoods in Japanese and Chinese treaty ports, as well as in the British colonies of Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, during the 19th century. It does so by examining how Westerners ‘chronicled’ their overseas lives in personal letters, diplomatic dispatches, business records, and academic papers. In doing so, the volume presents new insights into the pace and challenges of daily life and stresses the ‘connectivities’ between its subjects, as Westerners’ lives intersected and moved between Japanese and Chinese port cities.

Nazi Germany, Annexed Poland and Colonial Rule

Resettlement, Germanization and Population Policies in Comparative Perspective

Rachel O'Sullivan, Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History, Germany

This book examines Nazi Germany’s expansion, population management and establishment of a racially stratified society within the Reichsgaue (Reich Districts) of Wartheland and Danzig-West Prussia in annexed Poland (1939-1945) through a colonial lens. The topic of the Holocaust has thus far dominated the scholarly debate on the relevance of colonialism for our understanding of the Nazi regime. However, as opposed to solely concentrating on violence to investigate whether the Holocaust can be located within wider colonial frameworks, Rachel O’Sullivan utilizes a broader approach by investigating other aspects, such as discourses and fantasies related to expansion, settlement, ‘civilising missions’ and Germanisation, which were also intrinsic to Nazi Germany’s rule in Poland.

An Intellectual History of Liberal Catholicism in Western Europe, 1789-1870

Edited by Aude Attuel-Hallade, Sorbonne University, France

This volume probes and deciphers the tensions and contradictions that underlie modern European Liberal Catholicism. Taking the French Revolution as a starting point, seen in this context as the inauguration of an unprecedented sequence of dialogues between European ‘public moralists’, the book discusses the ways in which liberal Catholics loosened their bonds with religion, all the while relying on it. It prompts a vital reappraisal of the political, ideological and philosophical pressures that the religious question caused in the redefinition of Western European post-revolutionary liberalism in the 19th century.

Sexuality in Premodern Europe

A Social and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Early Modern Age

Franz X. Eder, University of Vienna, Austria

How did sexual relationships work before, in and outside of marriage in the pre-modern era? What problems did contraception and sexually transmitted diseases pose? How did people deal with prostitution and pornography back then? What were the possibilities for same-sex and queer desire and practice? Using numerous examples and sources from across the continent, Sexuality in Premodern Europe shows that even in earlier centuries, sexual life had an elementary significance for the coexistence of couples and communities. It was just as decisive for how individuals saw themselves and others as it was for maintaining the social, economic and political order.

Anglo-Hispania beyond the Black Legend

British Campaigns, Travellers and Attitudes towards Spain since 1489

Mark Lawrence, University of Kent, UK

Tracing and analysing the relationship between Britain and Spain since 1489, this book compares and contrasts the two countries and sheds light on the evolution of their international connection. Mark Lawrence examines how British Protestants excoriated Spain in a ‘Black Legend’, while Catholic propagandists dismissed rising English power as the work of pirates and heretics during the early modern period. In a series of chronological chapters rich with a diverse range of sources, the book considers the 18th-century cultural exchanges that flourished amidst the growth of travel and new ideas and the surprising alliances of the last 200 years.

Reconciliation and Resistance in Early Modern Spain

Hernando de Baeza and the Catholic Monarchs

Teresa Tinsley, Independent Scholar, UK

This book offers an original perspective on the religious unification of the medieval kingdoms of Iberia. It uses the eventful career of Hernando de Baeza as a thread to connect the events, controversies and preoccupations of the nation emerging from multi-faith Iberia with dreams of Christianising the whole world. Drawing on a wealth of extensive archival evidence, together with Baeza’s own memoir (translated here for the first time), the book demonstrates the widespread resistance to the authoritarian and exclusionary Christianity which would come to be associated with Spain, the Inquisition, and the Catholic Monarchs of the period.

Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this volume covers a millennium-long period in the history of the region characterized by the coexistence of several local sociopolitical arrangements. The book also shows that these powers were ultimately locked in a zero-sum game, until the uneven development of modern state institutions tilted the balance in favor of one of them – Russia.

Historicizing the French Revolution

The Two Hundred Years’ War

Antonino De Francesco, University of Milan, Italy

This book provides a critical examination of over 300 historical works about the French Revolution, published in Europe (in particular in France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Russia) as well as in the United States between 1789 and 1989. It also explores recent trends in French Revolution historiography and considers where histories of this landmark event may go in the future. By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or hidden, exalted or silenced, Historicizing the French Revolution shows how reflections on 1789 are always fundamentally tied to the times, and often the places, in which they are formulated.

The Politics of Smallness in Modern Europe

Size, Identity and International Relations since 1800

Edited by Samuël Kruizinga, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

This multi-contributor volume examines the connections between the size of states and their diplomatic place in modern Europe and beyond. It brings together established and up-and-coming scholars from several countries across Europe, as well as the United States, in order to analyse this intriguing area of study. Rather than simply assuming that some states are small and others are big, The Politics of Smallness in Modern Europe delves deep into the construction of different size-based hierarchies in Europe and explores the way Europeans have thought about their own state’s size and that of their continental neighbours since the early 19th century.

Jews under Tsars and Communists

The Four Questions

Robert Weinberg, Swarthmore College, USA Russia and the Jewish Question explores how perceptions of Jews in late Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union shaped the regimes’ policies toward them. It traces the evolving and changing nature of popular and official beliefs about the purported nature of Jews from the late 18th century to the end of the 20th century. Robert Weinberg’s examination of the ‘Jewish Question’ (and by extension antiSemitism) provides a fruitful way to investigate why and how social, economic, political, and cultural developments in Russia from the time of Catherine the Great led to prejudices and the discriminatory treatment of Russian and Soviet Jews.

Technologies of Mind and Body in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc

Edited by Claire Shaw, University of Warwick, UK & Anna Toropova, University of Nottingham, UK

The project to create a ‘New Man’ and ‘New Woman’ initiated in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc constituted one of the most extensive efforts to remake human psychophysiology in modern history. Playing on the different meanings of the word ‘technology’ - as practice, knowledge and artefact - this edited volume brings together scholarship from across a range of fields to shed light on the ways in which socialist regimes in the Soviet bloc and Eastern Europe sought to transform and revolutionise human capacities.

The Russian Military and the Creation of Empire

From Peter the Great to Vladimir Putin

John W. Steinberg, Austin Peay State University, USA

This book examines the rise and the fall of the Russian Empire through the lens of its military history. While much of the literature on this history tends to focus on epochs, John W. Steinberg uses a variety of archival sources to capture this aspect of modern Russia from Peter the Great right up to the present day. Steinberg analyzes the social dynamic between Russian society and its military over time. Through a focus on civilmilitary relations, he demonstrates that both the Tsarist and Soviet regimes were built on, and ultimately dependent upon, the support of the military.

The Soviet-Polish War and its Legacy

Lenin’s Defeat and the Rise of Stalinism

Peter Whitewood, York St. John University, UK

This detailed study traces the history of the SovietPolish War (1919-20), the first major international clash between the forces of communism and anti-communism, and the impact this had on Soviet Russia in the years that followed. The Soviet leadership’s central preoccupation in the 1930s was Nazi Germany; this book convincingly argues that Bolshevik perceptions of Poland and the capitalist world in the decade before were given as much significance and were ultimately crucial to the rise of Stalinism.

Catherine the Great and the Culture of Celebrity in the Eighteenth Century

Ruth Pritchard Dawson, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA

This highly original study provides a detailed analysis of Catherine the Great’s celebrity avant la lettre and how gender, power, and scandal made it commercially successful. In 1762, when Catherine II overthrew her husband to seize the Russian throne, her instant popular fame across Europe fit the still new discourse of modern celebrity and soon helped shape it. The book shows that over the next 35 years Catherine was part of a standard troika of celebrity-making agents— intriguing central figure, large-scale media, and an engaged public.

Israel and the Holocaust

Avinoam J. Patt, University of Connecticut, USA Avinoam J. Patt examines the relationship between the two most significant events in modern Jewish history. Is there a causal relationship between these two events, separated by only three years? Put another way, was the creation of the state of Israel made more or less likely by the Holocaust?

Patt carefully considers this question, not just from the perspective of historical causality, but also with regard to its major political implications. The book then goes on to document and analyse the changing nature of Israel’s relationship to the Shoah in the sixty years since the Eichmann trial.

History as a Translation of the Past

Case Studies from the West

Edited by Luigi Alonzi, University of Palermo, Italy

This volume considers how the act through which historians interpret the past can be understood as one of epistemological and cognitive translation. The book convincingly argues that words, images, and historical and archaeological remains can all be considered as objects deserving the same treatment on the part of historians, whose task consists exactly in translating their past meanings into present language. History as a Translation of the Past brings together an international cast of scholars working on different periods to show how their respective approaches can help us to better understand and translate the past in the future.

Imperial Gallows

Murder, Violence and the Death Penalty in British Colonial Africa, c.1915-60

Stacey Hynd, University of Exeter, UK

The death penalty was an integral aspect of colonial networks of power and violence in Britain’s African territories. Imperial Gallows analyses capital trials from Kenya, Nyasaland and the Gold Coast to explore the social tensions that fuelled murder among colonised populations, and how colonial legal cultures and landscapes of political authority shaped sentencing and mercy. It demonstrates how ideas of race, ethnicity, gender and ‘civilization’ could both spare and condemn Africans convicted of murder in colonial courts, and also how Africans could either appropriate or resist such colonial legal discourses in their trials and petitions.

Peace, Decolonization, and the Practice of Solidarity

Rob Skinner, University of Bristol, UK

This book shows that connected histories of decolonization and globalization are found in the everyday activities of individuals as much as they are histories of states, institutions and formal organisations. Viewing decolonization through non-state activist practices, and setting anti-colonial solidarity in the context of contemporary global peace movements, it argues that seemingly marginal histories can illuminate aspects of the end of empire that are not readily apparent in studies centered on state diplomacy and nationalist movements.

Women and the Autobiographical Impulse A History

Barbara Caine, The University of Sydney, Australia

Forming a critical introduction to the history of women's autobiography from the mid 18th-century to the present, this book analyses the most important changes in women's autobiography, exploring their motivation, context, style, and the role of life experiences. Caine effortlessly segues across three centuries of history: from the emergence of the ‘modern autobiography’ in the 18th-century, to the literary and suffragist autobiographies of the 19th-century, and the establishment of feminist publishers in the 20th century. The result is a much-needed history, one which provides a different way of thinking about the trajectory of genre information.

This book provides a definitive account of club swinging’s popularity in the nineteenth-century, a popularity which could arguably be labelled as the world’s first ‘fitness fad’, and to explore much deeper global and domestic concerns about the ideal male or female body, about military preparation and about education. Indian clubs’ popularity speaks to the first modern transnational fitness culture – and to broader questions surrounding nationalism, gender, race and popular commerce.

Voices of American Women's History from Reconstruction to the Present Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life

Kristine Ashton Gunnell, Claremont Graduate University, USA

Gender alone has never defined women's experiences in America. In this volume, Kristine Ashton Gunnell shows that, as much as gender, race, class, religion, citizenship, and sexuality have historically directed the course of women's lives in the United States for more than 200 years. Women from diverse backgrounds are represented in media and documents that include pamphlets, book excerpts, personal narratives, photographs, advertisements, congressional testimonies, and Supreme Court rulings. Such issues as abortion, marriage equality, domestic violence, and gender parity are shown from historical and contemporary angles, as this collection of primary sources allows readers and students to easily trace how women's lives and histories have and continue to intersect. With a historical context for each selection, the book also features structured activities to help teachers with class discussion and exams, including suggestions for further reading, document analysis, essay questions, and manageable research assignments.

The Value of Work since the 18th Century Custom,

Conflict, Measurement and Theory

Edited by Massimo Asta, Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal & Pedro Ramos Pinto, University of Cambridge, UK

Beginning in the 18th century, at a key turning point in labour history, this book explores how different forms of work have been valued up to the present day. Focusing on the cultural, intellectual, social and political implications of wages, the chapters in this collection historicise the labour market, conceiving it as a complex system of social relations which evolve through time and differ according to space. They show how the level of wages and other forms of remuneration reflect not only supply and demand, but also the nature of work relations and wider political, social and economic circumstances.

Considering all sides of the medical encounter and highlighting the intersection of intellectual history and medical knowledge, of institutional atmospheres and of emotional and sensory experience, Feeling Dis-ease in Modern History presents a complex and affective account of feeling well and of feeling ill. Especially occupied with the ways in which dynamics of power and authority have either validated or discounted dis-eased feelings, chapters in this book address the politics of medical expertise, gender normativity, race and class hierarches to better understand situated expressions of illness, their reception and their social, cultural and moral valuation.

This book traces the history of health and safety from First World War to the present, drawing extensively upon workers' own personal stories of occupational accidents, disasters, injury, disease, overwork and disability. It covers a wide range of workplace issues, from stories of TNT poisoning and overwork in wartime, through to the asbestos and black lung disasters, and the modern-day ‘epidemics’ of stress, burnout and Covid-19.

The Kaiser, Hitler and the Jewish Department Store

The Reich's Retailer

John F. Mueller, University of Cambridge, UK

Tracing a generation of Jews who found fortune and influence in Germany only to have their livelihoods taken from them by the Nazis in the 1930s, The Kaiser, Hitler and the Jewish Department Store draws on a range of archival source to reveal how - contrary to Nazi claims - Jewish-owned department stores were decent employers, popular with customers, and well integrated into society. As such, this book cogently argues that their demise cannot solely be attributed to widespread antiSemitism. In this book, John F. Mueller elegantly challenges common assumptions about consumer culture and the Jewish question and provides fresh insight into the social history of modern Germany.

A Cultural History of Medicine in the Renaissance

Edited by Claudia Stein & Elaine Leong

Since the ‘cultural turn’ of the 1980s the history of Renaissance medicine has been radically transformed, with older narratives stood on their head as concepts and categories for research have been re-thought. Building on the foundations of this historiographical transformation, the essays in this volume elaborate, refine and challenge what are now standard interpretations in the study of medicine and the body in the early modern period

A Cultural History of Medicine in the Middle Ages

The Parthenon Marbles Dispute Heritage, Law, Politics

Alexander Herman, Institute of Art and Law, UK

Why are we still arguing over the Parthenon Marbles? This book provides a new take on the history of those famous pieces of ancient sculpture removed from the Acropolis in Athens in the 19th century, explaining how they became the cause célèbre of the debate around cultural heritage and restitution now taking place.

The book offers a balanced account of the history of the Marbles and considers the legalities of their initial removal and the ethics of their retention by the British Museum. It explains why this dispute has not been satisfactorily resolved and suggests new ways of seeking resolution. UK

The Making of the Modern Company

Susan Watson, University of Auckland, New Zealand

This book is about the modern company, and how it has changed over time, focussing on England in the key period between the enactment of the general incorporation statutes permitting limited liability in the mid-19th century and the legal recognition of the modern company as a separate legal entity at the end of the century. It will be of interest to corporate law academics, those who study the company from related disciplines and anyone questioning why there remains a lack of certainty about the structure of the most ubiquitous and important modern legal form; the limited liability company.

A Constitutionalist Approach to the European Convention on Human Rights

The Legitimacy of Evolutive and Static Interpretation

Lisa Sonnleitner, Karl-Franzens University Graz, Austria

This book presents a new argument for the legitimacy of evolutive interpretation in the ECHR. It constructs a model in which evolutive and static constitutional principles are balanced.

It argues that there are 3 possible approaches in time-sensitive interpretations of the ECHR, but that only one of them is justifiable by reference to the constitutional principles of the ECHR in every single case.

The ECHR’s constitutional principles either require an evolutive or static interpretation or they do not establish a preference relation at all, leading to a margin of appreciation of the member states in the interpretation of the Convention.

Regulating Boilerplate Resolving the Issues of Imposition and Unfairness in Standard Form Contracts

Marcus Moore, University of British Columbia, Canada

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate ‘contracts of adhesion’. It adopts a ‘law in context’ methodology to offer solutions.

The methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It looks at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided are much needed.

This book offers a timely and detailed examination of the reality of criminal legal practice today. Drawing upon extensive anonymous interviews with criminal lawyers in England and Wales, it illuminates how financial pressures can arise within the criminal justice system and how lawyers seek to navigate them.

Climate Migration Critical Perspectives for Law, Policy, and Research

Edited by Calum Nicholson, University of Cambridge, UK & Benoit Mayer, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

This book explores the complex literature on climate migration and investigates the epistemological and ethical challenges the topic poses for anyone who takes an interest in the relationship between climate change and human migration.

At a time in which both the effects of climate change and the causes of migration are of great public interest, and in which these interests are so often fraught with emotion and freighted with politics, the book brings dispassionately critical perspectives to an issue that desperately needs it.

Criminology as a Moral Science

Edited by Anthony E Bottoms, University of Cambridge, UK & Jonathan Jacobs, City University of New York, USA

This book proposes an explicit recognition of criminology as a moral science: a philosophically textured appreciation of the presence and role of values in people’s reasoning and motivation, set within an empirically rigorous social-scientific account. This endeavour requires input from both criminologists and philosophers, and careful dialogue between them.

The issues raised go to the heart of some currently pressing topics within criminology, notably the development of ‘evidencebased practice’, which requires some kind of stable bridge to be built between research evidence (‘facts’) and proposals for policy (‘evaluative recommendations’).

European Integrated Border Management and Solidarity

The Limits of Protection Responsibility

Esin Küçük, Lancaster University Law School, UK

The book proposes a responsive, effective protection framework for asylum seekers in the European Union. It does so by taking a three-fold approach: firstly, it sets out an integrated analysis of asylum solidarity, reflecting on the past, present and future. Secondly, it interrogates the nature of asylum solidarity as a legal concept, focusing on the notion of fairness. Finally, it sets out the future design of the EU asylum regime. This is based on a broader understanding of solidarity, which allows for a more balanced system. Thought-provoking and solution focused, this is an important new statement on EU asylum law.

Citizenship and Human Rights

The Conflict of Universal and Exclusive Rights

Christian Kälin, Henley & Partners, UK

Can universal human rights and different national citizenship regimes be compatible? This book argues that they can’t. It explores whether the emergence of postnational models of citizenship that aim at decoupling human rights and citizenship succeed in overcoming tensions between the universal (multiculturalism; universal human rights; postnational values) and the particular (citizenship; borders; national values and diverse local narratives). The author argues that it is illegitimate to speak of universal human rights, universal human dignity, or universal social justice. It is only by recognising this reality that transformation of human rights and citizenship can be meaningfully undertaken.

Women’s Access to Transitional Justice in Timor-Leste

The Blind Letters

Noemí Pérez Vásquez, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Colombia

This book delivers a panoramic assessment of access to transitional justice from a gender perspective. Dealing with conflict, justice and women, it also contains a post-colonial theoretical component. It provides a deep analysis of the situation in Timor-Leste. Empirical evidence drawn from interviews with female participants in its post-conflict reconciliations and reparations mechanisms, as well as from judges and prosecutors, gives a fascinating insight into precisely how justice was served. In so doing it contributes to debates concerning women’s participation in transitional justice and addresses how gender equality should be conceived in post-conflict states seeking to rebuild. Human rights scholars, practitioners as well as NGO workers will find this unique and thought-provoking study invaluable.

Rethinking Human Rights Critical Insights from Palestinian Youth

Erika Jiménez, Queen's University Belfast, UK

Drawing on research in the occupied West Bank, this book explores the three layers of marginalisation faced by Palestinian young people—the occupation; the Palestinian pseudostate; and patriarchal structures—to show how these barriers influence their understanding of, and scepticism towards, human rights. Influenced by decolonialist theories, this book illuminates how space needs to be created for the counter-narratives of the oppressed in human rights discourse which may not align with more orthodox representations of human rights. It contends that human rights in the Palestinian context (and beyond) needs to be critiqued, decolonised and ultimately transformed.

Regularisations of Irregularly Staying Migrants in the EU

A Comparative Legal Analysis of Austria, Germany and Spain

Kevin Fredy Hinterberger

This book addresses a pressing problem regarding the EU’s return policy: the low return rate of irregularly staying migrants.

The EU is not making any significant progress in enforcing the rules it has laid down in the Return Directive. The legislation of EU Member States may, however, serve as a source for solutions to ‘combat’ this.

The book compares the system of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain, showing that differentiated systems of regularisation exist at a national level. However, EU regularisations supplementing the present return policy would be more effective at ‘combating’ irregular migration at EU level.

This book explains the course of proceedings before the European Patent Court (EPC), both with regard to the fundamental features of the EU patent, and to its procedural enforcement. Twenty five Member States have adopted the Convention on the introduction of the EU patent with unitary effect.

Liability for Copyright and Trade Mark Infringement

Towards an EU Co-Regulatory Framework

Zoi Krokida, University of Stirling, UK

This book critically evaluates the EU regulatory framework for the liability of host Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for copyright and trade mark infringements and provides novel recommendations for its improvement.

Amid the uncertainty that is created by the existing legislative tools, this book recommends the imposition of a duty of care to host ISPs to curb the dissemination of unauthorised works and counterfeit goods, the ascription of a transparency obligation to host ISPs towards their users, and the establishment of a supervisory authority for host ISPs, thus offering a new perspective for resolving online IP disputes.

Just Price Theory A Reassessment

Joaquín Reyes, Finis Terrae University, Chile

This book presents an original theory of the just price, and it is a welcome addition to scholarship on a radically underdeveloped field. This work reassesses the age-old idea that there is a just price of things, one that goes beyond the Scholastic tradition of the just price and its exclusive concern with commutative justice. There is more to just price theory than the concern for keeping equality of value between goods exchanged. Modern concerns over efficiency, autonomy, and distributive justice, can also find a place within a theory of the just price.

Not What The Bus Promised Health Governance after Brexit

Tamara Hervey & Matthew Wood, University of Sheffield UK & Ivanka Antova & Mark L Flear Queen's University, Belfast UK

This book explains the impacts of Brexit on the NHS. From staffing to biomedical research, the UK’s post-Brexit agreements have serious implications for health law. Drawing conversations and interviews with over 40 health policy stakeholders, their work with Parliaments across the UK, and collaborations with key actors like the NHS Confederation, the book puts the authors’ knowledge centre frame, rather than expressing ‘objective reality’. These conversations show a great deal of faith in law and legal process among ‘ordinary people’, but the opposite from ‘insider elites’. It will be of interest to any reader who cares about the NHS.

It considers the post Brexit landscape and the implications in cross border private proceedings before the English courts and suggests how the legal landscape should be developed. It also sets out how private international law techniques could play an increasingly important role in the private antitrust enforcement of competition law.

Territorial Status in International Law

Jure Vidmar, Maastricht University, the Netherlands

This book develops a new theory of territorialism and international legal status of territories. It (i) defines the concept of territory, explaining how territories are created; (ii) redefines the concept of statehood, illustrating that statehood (rather than the statehood criteria) is territorial legal status established in the formal sources of international law; and (iii) grounds non-state territorial entities in the sources of international law to explain their international legal status. This fresh new theoretical perspective has both scholarly and practical importance, providing a tool helping decision-makers and judges in the practical application of international law.

Supporting Legal Capacity in Socio-Legal Context

Edited by Mary Donnelly, University College Cork, Ireland, Rosie Harding, University of Birmingham, UK & Ezgi Tascioglu, Keele University, UK

The book focuses on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which recognises the equal right to legal capacity of people with disabilities and requires States Parties to provide support for the exercise of this right. However, 10 years after the CRPD came into force, the shift to legal frameworks for supported decision-making remains at best only partial.

With 16 chapters written by contributors from the UK, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, the collection takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach.

Creating a Person-Centered Library

Best Practices for Supporting High-Needs Patrons

Elizabeth A. Wahler, University of North Carolina, USA & Sarah C. Johnson, University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, USA

Creating a Person-Centered Library provides a comprehensive overview of various services, programs, and collaborations to help libraries serve high-need patrons as well as strategies for supporting staff working with these individuals.

Public libraries are struggling to address growing numbers of high-need patrons experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, mental health problems, substance abuse, and poverty-related needs. Creating a Person-Centered Library will help librarians build or contribute to library services that will best address patrons' psychosocial needs.

The authors, experienced in both library and social work, begin by providing an overview of patrons' psychosocial needs, structural and societal reasons for the shift in these needs, and how these changes impact libraries and library staff. Chapters focus on best practices for libraries providing person-centered services and share lessons learned, including information about special considerations for certain patron populations that might be served by individual libraries. The book concludes with information about how library organizations can support public library staff.

Librarians and library students who are concerned about both patrons and library staff will find the practical advice in this book invaluable.

Semiotics with a Conscience Decoding Dangerous Discourses

Marcel Danesi, University of Toronto, Canada

Demonstrating how semiotic theory and method can be applied to decoding false representations and dangerous discourses, this book confronts negative perceptions of semiotics and explores how it can be used as a potentially powerful science of conscience. Identifying key issues of concern, such as climate change and anti-science discourses, it describes the semiotic notions and methods that can be used to analyze misrepresentations, propaganda, or meaning collapses, developing awareness of hidden meanings and their harmful effects on society.

Music, Dance and Translation

Edited by Helen Julia Minors, York St John University, UK

Bringing together chapters that explore theory and practice, this book questions the process and role translation has to play in the context of music and dance. Unrestricted by genre, style or cultural location, it provides a range of case studies to think critically about the sound and movement arts of music and dance using translation as a model to better understand the collaboration of these art forms. It is the second volume to explore translation in relation to music, and the first to overtly tackle this topic in terms of dance.

Asian Perspectives in an AI Age

Proposing a new approach to the study of language, this book argues for the need to consider syntax in context and to engage with a wider variety of perspectives that better reflect the modern world and the changes to our language prompted by increased cultural diversity, the prevalence of social media, AI, and more. The book explores in particular the socio-pragmatic sensitivity and complexity within East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, offering new insights that step away from traditional approaches to formal syntax.

Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics introduces key research concepts, principles and techniques in ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted discourse study. Breaking new ground, the book analyses under-explored environmental discourses that have a tangible impact on ecological wellbeing and sustainability by perpetuating harmful attitudes, practices and ideologies. Chapters present in-depth case studies on disposability and consumption, the use of the word ‘water’ in national contexts and animal suffering in the meat industry. They apply the most effective tools from corpus linguistics to show in each case that ecological degradation and crisis have become normalized, and even trivialized, in popular discourse.

Interpersonal Meaning in Multimodal English Textbooks

Yumin Chen, Sun Yat-sen University, China

Exploring multimodality in English language teaching textbooks, this book focuses on how language and image are co-deployed within these resources in order to create and convey interpersonal meaning. Yumin Chen uses systemic functional linguistics and social semiotics to investigate how different voices are introduced and aligned inter-modally in textbooks, extending the appraisal systems of engagement and graduation across language and image. She also examines how different kinds of coding orientation are deployed in various educational contexts and different constituent genres.

Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature

Edited by James Hodapp, Northwestern University, Qatar

Building upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focussing on graphic novels and comics from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Contributors also explore how these graphic texts engage with, fit in with or complicate notions of World Literature, such as translation, commodification, circulation and Orientalism. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms.

The Nobel Prize and the Formation of Contemporary World Literature

Paul Tenngart, Lund University, Sweden

Few would deny that the Nobel Prize is the most prestigious literary award in the world. But what mechanisms made it possible for 18 Swedish intellectuals to become the world’s most influential literary critics? This book argues that the prize sometimes reinforces the hierarchical relations between literary languages and cultures and sometimes disturbs the established pattern of dominance. Exploring the history and impact of the prize in literature from the first award through recent controversies – Bob Dylan and #MeToo – it shows that the Nobel Prize is a performative act central in our continual and collective construction of world literature.

Mahakavi K. V. Simon

The Milton of the East

Varghese Mathai, Judson University, USA

When South Indian poet laureate (or mahakavi) K. V. Simon's 12,000-line epic Vedaviharam, a poetic rendition of The Book of Genesis, appeared in the Malayalam language of the Malabar coast in 1934, reviews in The Guardian hailed the 34-year old Simon as “India’s Milton.” Like Milton, Simon was a polymath, a poet, a theologian, and an educator. Like Milton, he also wrote prose and verse with equal ease, swiftness, and gravity. This book offers a critical biography, study, and sample translations of the epic, along with Simon's hymns, didactic verse, narratives, and other writings.

Central American Literatures as World Literature

Edited by Sophie Esch, Rice University, USA

Both within Latin American literary and world literary production, Central American literature is often perceived as a marginal space. This collection seeks to challenge this notion and to position and discuss Central American literature within the recently revived debates on world literature. Its authors discuss poems, testimonios, novels, and short stories in relation to center-periphery, cosmopolitan, and Internationalist paradigms. They explore the multiple ways in which Central American literature goes beyond or against the confines of the nation-state, especially through the indigenous, Black, and migrant voices.

Chekhov’s Sakhalin Journey Doctor, Humanitarian, Author

Jonathan Cole, Bournemouth University, UK

Chekhov often said that ‘I am a doctor by trade and sometimes I do literary work in my free time.’ This literary-biographical study uses Chekhov's trip to Sakhalin Island in the harsh wastes of Siberia to uncover new sides to him, as both a medical professional and humanitarian.

Chekhov's life was dominated by humanitarian action, and his medical outlook informed his philosophical and literary development. By foregrounding these hitherto overlooked aspects of his life, Chekhov's Sakhalin Journey suggests that to understand the man we need his medicine as well as his literature, and to assess his life from his perspective as well as ours.

Form, Affect and Debt in PostCeltic Tiger Irish Fiction

Ireland in Crisis

Eoin Flannery, University of Limerick, Ireland

Based on readings of the most provocative and original voices in contemporary Irish writing, this book explores how these authors have engaged with the events of Ireland’s recent economic ‘boom’ and the demise of the Celtic Tiger period, and how they have portrayed the widespread and variated aftermaths. Drawing upon economic literary criticism, affect theory, and the philosophy of debt, this book probes issues such as: indebtedness; temporality and narrative form; the relevance of affect theory to understanding Irish culture and society during austerity; ecocriticism and late capitalism; and the relationship between literary fiction and the mechanics of high finance.

Representing Social Precarity in German Literature and Film

Edited by Sophie Duvernoy, Yale University, USA, Karsten Olson, North Carolina Asheville, USA & Ulrich Plass, Wesleyan University, USA

Since 2000, much attention has been paid to the increase in social precarity in Europe and the US. Phenomena of precarization (underemployment, indebtedness, deaths of despair) tend to be causally linked to the rise of neoliberalism as a strategy of governance that redistributes risk to the already vulnerable. This volume broadens the scope beyond this narrow definition of precarity, using Germany as a national case study, to examine the historical genesis of precarity, its evolution from 19th-century industrial modernity to the present, and its reflections and reconfigurations in artistic production, in particular with relation to work, gender, and sexuality.

At the turn of the 20th century, printing and photographic technologies evolved rapidly, leading to rise of mass media and the amateur photographer. Demonstrating how this development happened symbiotically with great changes in the shape of British literature, this book explores this co-evolution, showing that as both writing and photography became tools of mass dissemination, literary writers were forced to re-evaluate their professional and personal identities. Focusing on Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf—each of which had their own private and professional connections to photographs— Emily Ennis offers valuable historical contexts for contemporary cultural developments and anxieties.

Alice Munro's Late Style

'Writing is the Final Thing'

Robert Thacker, St. Lawrence University, USA

Alice Munro has effectively reshaped the short story as a form. This book focuses on Munro’s art - an art that Robert McGill has called “one of return and revision." Such an approach has been evident throughout her career but reached an apogee in her last three books, The View from Castle Rock (2006), Too Much Happiness (2009) and, especially, Dear Life (2012). These three last books serve as a coda to both Munro’s late style and to her entire career as arguably one of the finest short story writers.

The Economy of Religion in American Literature Culture and the Politics of Redemption

Andrew Ball

This book offers a thoroughgoing reassessment of the relationship of religion and economics in American culture. Its guiding questions include: Are we truly living in a secular age? How did a Christian nation come to embrace capitalism? What role did religion play in the conflict of capital and labor in fin de siècle America? How are we to understand the status of religion in contemporary American culture? What light can the literary archive shed on the relationship of religion and economics?

The Politics of Literary Prestige Prizes and Spanish American Literature

Sarah E.L. Bowskill, Queen's University Belfast, UK

Taking into account national and international politics and networks of prestige, this book analyses the relationship between literary prizes, politics and the reception of literature from Spanish America. Covering state-sponsored and publisher-run prizes and major awards such as the Biblioteca Breve Prize, the Premio Cervantes and the Nobel Prize, this book examines how prizes have shaped what we know about Spanish American literature. The author draws on a range of sources – including speeches and interviews by winning authors, judges' statements and prize rules and regulations – to reveal the roles prizes have played in Spanish American politics as well as in the formation of the Spanish American cultural field.

Hyperbolic Realism

A Wild Reading of Pynchon's and Bolaño's Late Maximalist Fiction

Samir Sellami, Hamburg Institute for Social Research, Germany

What comes after postmodernism in literature?

Hyperbolic Realism engages the contradiction that while it remains impossible to present a full picture of the world, assessing reality from a planetary perspective seems now more than ever an ethical obligation for contemporary literature. It examines the hyperbolic forms and features of Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day and Roberto Bolaño's 2666 – their discursive and material abundance, excessive fictionality, close intertwining of fantastic and historical genres, narrative doubt and spiraling uncertainty – which are deployed not as an escape from, but a plunge into reality.

Antisemitism and Racism

Ethical Challenges for Psychoanalysis

Stephen Frosh, Department of Psychosocial Studies, London

Antisemitism and Racism provides both an introduction to the study of racism in the history of psychoanalysis as well as a psychoanalyticallyinformed examination of the relations between antisemitism and antiblack racism. Frosh's starting point is a claim that the Jewish origins and implications of psychoanalysis fuel its capacity to interrogate racism of all kinds. Indeed, the shared experience of exposure to different kinds of racism raises prospects for renewed alliances between Jewish and Black communities. At a time when division and prejudice are on the rise to an alarming degree, it is imperative that we examine, understand, and discuss the psychological roots of racism.

The Origins of Nostalgia

Memories and Reflections

Svetlana Boym, Harvard University, USA

Edited by Ron Roberts, Kingston University, London, UK

This collection of previously unpublished autobiographical and semi-autobiographical “snippets of experience” written by Svetlana Boym in the final period of her life capture her penchant for seamlessly melding, poetically and dream-like, the intensively personal with the everyday and the world-historical. They illuminate the formative conditions for the thinking which she was to develop into her majestic work on nostalgia. Importantly, these pieces fill in gaps in understanding the genesis and outlook of her take on the world.

Alchemies of Blood and AfroDiasporic Fiction

Race, Kinship, and the Passion for Ontology

Nicole Simek, Whitman College, USA

Alchemies of Blood and Afro-Diasporic Fiction focuses on the resurgence of biological racism in 21st-century public discourse, the ontological and material turns in the academy that have occurred over the same time period, and how Afro-diasporic fiction has responded to both with alternative visions of bloodlines, kinship, and community. In thinking through conceptions of race, ethnicity, and materiality at work within both humanities research and popular culture, Nicole Simek asks how the figure of alchemy can help scholars address the epistemological and affective investments in blood, bloodlines, and genetics marking both academic and mainstream discourses.

The Ego Made Manifest

Max Stirner, Egoism, and the Modern Manifesto

Wayne Bradshaw, Research Associate, James Cook University, Australia,

Though long regarded as an unimportant figure from the fringes of 19th-century German idealism, this book argues that many of the accepted truisms about Max Stirner and his reception are false, and that his contribution to modernist and avant-garde manifesto-writing traditions has been all but ignored. It documents the trajectory of Stirner’s reception from the mid-19th century to his rediscovery by readers almost 50 years later, from his popularity among manifesto writers in fin de siècle France to the birth of Italian Futurism and how, in an age of extremism, Stirner’s ideas continue to haunt the modern mind.

Edited by Philippe Birgy, Université de Toulouse

Jean Jaurès, France

This edited volume explores the subject of modernism as seen through the lens of Bakhtinian criticism, and in doing so offers a rounded and up-to-date example of the application of Bakhtinian theory to a field of research. The contributors consider the global spread of modernism and the variety of its manifestations as well as modernism’s relationship to popular culture and its collective elaboration, which are dominant concerns in Bakhtin’s thinking.

Understanding Cavell, Understanding Modernism

Edited by Paola Marrati,

Johns

Hopkins University, USA

Stanley Cavell has written extensively on modernist art. However, Cavell’s importance for understanding modernism is not exhausted by his interest in modernist art and literature. Equally significant, and perhaps even more original, is his understanding of ordinary language philosophy as a modernist enterprise in its own terms. This volume features introductory essays on Cavell’s most important works, delves into more specific aspects and problems pertaining to Cavell’s aesthetics and its moral and political implications, and includes an extended glossary of Cavell’s key words and concepts.

Historicizing Modernism

Modernist Authorship and Transatlantic Periodical Culture

1895–1925

Amanda Sigler, Baylor University, USA

This book unearths the forgotten stories behind the texts we think we know well, using new evidence to examine the collaborative, consumer-oriented Modernism that developed out of periodicals.

Sigler traces the serialization and advertisement of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw in Collier’s (1898), Rudyard Kipling’s Kim in McClure’s and Cassell’s (1900-1901), James Joyce’s Ulysses in the Little Review (1918-1920), and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street in The Dial (1923). Using previously unpublished material and long-buried editorial correspondence, she sheds light on the role that compromise and chance played in the emergence of Modernism.

Edited by Simon Bacon

Examining fictional purgatorial worlds in contemporary literature, film and video games, this book examines the way in which the female characters trapped within them construct identity positions of resistance and change.

Featuring essays from a broad range of international contributors on topics as wide-ranging as mental health in the Silent Hill franchise and liminal spaces in the work of David Mitchell, this book is an original, timely and hope-filled analysis about overcoming the confines of a patriarchal, fundamentalist world where the female imaginative might just be the last, best hope.

Georgina Binnie-Wright, Independent Scholar

James Joyce and Photography is the first book to explore in-depth James Joyce’s engagement with the art of photography.

Victorian Dress in Contemporary Historical Fiction Materiality, Agency and Narrative

Danielle Mariann Dove, University of Surrey, UK

The first full-length study of neo-Victorian fiction through the lens of dress, fashion, and im/materiality, this book traces the imaginative and narrative extensions of Victorian women’s clothing in contemporary historical fiction. Interrogating how and why material forms of dress manifest themselves through tropes of immateriality, of haunting and spectrality, Danielle Dove explores the way in which fictional renderings of 19th-century clothes permit modern-day readers a way of accessing past bodies. The book demonstrates that the uncanny agency that exudes from these articles of dress testifies to the contemporary desire to reconnect with the Victorian past.

Neo-Victorianism, Empathy and Reading

Muren Zhang, East China Normal University, China

Calling upon the writings of Margaret Atwood, Julian Barnes, Graeme Macrae Burnet and Sarah Waters this book examines the ethics of the text-reader relationship in neo-Victorian literature, focusing upon the role played by empathy in this engagement. Bringing together recent cultural and theoretical research on narrative temporality, empathy and affect, Muren Zhang presents neo-Victorian literature as a genre defined by its experimentation with ‘empathetic narrative’. Zhang argues that such literature pushes the reader to critically reflect upon their reading expectations, strategies, and their wider ethical responsibilities.

Lovecraft, Brian de Palma, David Cronenberg, and science fiction literature and television series Orphan Black, King illuminates how twins are employed across a range of disciplines to envision a critical re-conception of the human in times of digital integration and ecological crisis.

Rereading Empathy

Edited by Emily Johansen, Texas A&M University, USA & Alissa G. Karl, SUNY Brockport, USA

If we all had more skill with empathy, so the claim goes, we would all be better citizens. But what does it mean to empathize with others? How do we develop this skill? And what does it offer that older models of solidarity don’t?

Rereading Empathy takes up these questions, examining the uses to which calls for empathy are put in the face of ever expanding economic and social precarity. The contributors draw on a variety of historical and contemporary literary and cultural archives to illustrate the work that empathy is supposed to enable—and to query alternative models of building collective futures.

Through in-depth close readings of elegies by Black women, trans* women, and non-binary writers, this book foregrounds forms of poetic knowledge and poetic practices that trouble - or work against - the ideals, values, standards and forms of knowledge embodied by the ‘English’ elegy so often privileged within canonical tradition. In doing so, it offers a challenge to the ways in which we currently read elegy, unearthing possibilities for revising our understanding of the elegiac tradition.

The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene

African Literature, Aesthetic, and Transatlantic Formulation

Dike Okoro, Harris Stowe State University, USA

Dike Okoro illuminates the penetrating insights found in Africa’s foremost epic poet, Mazisi Kunene's poetry and the reasons why his art has been considered as masterpieces grounded in geography, history, and culture. He situates Kunene as a theorist who embraces African tradition – including his use of Zulu praise poetry – and the role of the artist as a chronicler of his people’s history, committed to art as a catalyst for change. These essays and interviews address the post-apartheid reality of South Africa, demonstrate Kunene’s profound influence on and in world literature, and argue that Kunene's poetry is important as a form of activism and a political tool to the African creative writer.

Gleaning and Fragmentation

Exploring a variety of environmental concerns and surveying a wide range of contemporary poetry, fiction, and memoir by women writers, this book argues for the centrality of individual encounter and fragmentary form in twenty-first-century literature.

Proposing an exciting new theoretical model of 'gleaning' and including analyses of works by both familiar and emerging writers such as Sara Baume, Ali Smith, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, Bhanu Kapil, Kathleen Jamie, and many others, this book also draws on theoretical perspectives such as ecofeminism, new materialism, posthumanism, and affect theory.

Following the ‘material turn’ in the humanities, this book brings perspectives from science and ecology into dialogue with children’s fiction written and published in the UK and the USA in the twenty-first century. It develops the concept of ‘entanglement’, which originated in twentieth-century quantum physics but has been applied to cultural critique, through a reading of Fantastika literature. In doing so, it helps us to imagine an as-yetunrealised future that addresses the problems of our present.

Spying Undercover(s)

Edited by Ann Rea, University of Pittsburg at Johnstown, USA

A re-evaluation of spy fiction that sheds light on how espionage narratives give access to cultural conceptions of gender and sexuality in the period preceding and following WWII, this book moves away from masculinist assumptions of the genre, offering an integrative survey of the sexualities on display from important characters across the canon. Taking stock of spy fiction written by women, female protagonists written by men, and probing the representations of masculinity generated by male authors, this book analyses novels by Ian Fleming, John Le Carré, Helen MacInnes, Nancy Mitford, Christopher Isherwood and Mick Herron.

British Children's Literature in Japanese Culture Wonderlands and Looking-Glasses

Catherine Butler, Cardiff University, UK

The first comprehensive study to explore the engagement of the Japanese with British children's literature, this considers its many manifestations in print, on the screen, in tourist locations and throughout Japanese popular culture. Taking stock of influence of literary works such as Gulliver's Travels, Alice in Wonderland, Tom's Midnight Garden, the Harry Potter series, the imagery of Thomas the Tank Engine and the characters of Beatrix Potter, this lively account draws on literary criticism, translation, film and tourist studies to explore how British children’s books have been selected, translated, understood, adapted and reworked into Japanese commercial, touristic and imaginative culture.

Redemptive Hybridism in PostPostmodern Writing

Tasha Haines, Independent Scholar, New Zealand

Tasha Haines investigates and defines Redemptive Hybridism in post-postmodern writing – a paradigmatic shift characterized by possibility.

In textual production of the 21st century, Haines argues, postmodern elitism gives way to the reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations. Combining an innovative investigation with auto-theoretical strategies, Haines offers new interpretations of texts belonging to ‘the modernisms continuum’ – from Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond. She responds to the hybrid-and-creative theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan and others, arriving at a new way of viewing works that exemplify the liminal space of possibility, self-expression and genre blending.

Realism: Aesthetics, Experiments, Politics

Edited by Jens Elze, Georg-August-University

Göttingen, Germany

This volume brings together for the first time three aspects that are pertinent for a proper understanding of realism: its 19th-century aesthetic practice of making reality into an object of serious art; the experiments with and against realism by 20th-century modernist, postmodernist, or magical realist writing; and the politics of contemporary realism. Innovative chapters deal with classically realist authors (George Eliot, Émile Zola), experimental engagements with realism (J.M. Coetzee, Rachel Cusk) and contemporary global novels (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Rohinton Mistry). The readings assembled here are a testament to the ongoing controversies surrounding definitions and deployments of the genre.

Syrian Gulag

Inside Assad’s Prison System

Jaber Baker & Ugur Ümit Üngör, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Syrians can be arrested for liking a post on Facebook or for the political activities of a distant relative. They are imprisoned without trial, and tortured and starved, often to death. This book is the first to expose the prison system in Syria. It provides new knowledge on the bureaucracies, procedures, victims and perpetrators. The stories revealed here are based on painstaking interviews with the victims and perpetrators, and survivors’ memoirs, notes, published sources, maps and photos. The result is a harrowing account of the machinery of the Assad dynasty and an urgent exposé on Syria today.

COVID-19 in Palestine The Settler Colonial Context

Nadia Naser-Najjab, University of Exeter, UK Israel and Palestine were worlds apart during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book demonstrates how Israel utilized the pandemic to tighten surveillance and control over Palestine and the Palestinians. Drawing on theories of settler colonialism and the concept of ‘necropolitics’ the book is a vital testament to the reality of the Israeli settler colonial project. The book is based on case studies and interviews with Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, Hebron, Kufr Aqab and the Jalazoon refugee camp. It argues that discussion of the Palestinian reaction to the pandemic must first begin with an analysis of the colonial dimension.

The Palestinians and East Jerusalem

Under Neoliberal Settler Colonialism

Bruno Huberman, Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil

This book focuses on the contradiction between the rise of neoliberal development in East Jerusalem and the simultaneous continuity of Israeli settler colonialism. It argues that the combination of colonialism and neoliberalism allows for the ‘primitive accumulation of capital’ to occur permanently through explicitly coercive forms. Based on theoretical research, interviews, and an analysis of race and class relations in East Jerusalem, the book shows that neoliberal development is used to facilitate the reproduction of racial hierarchies and settler privileges.

Empowering Housewives in Southeast Turkey Gender, State and Development

Kübra Zeynep Sariaslan, University of Cambridge, UK

This open access book offers an ethnographically grounded and feminist analysis of Turkey’s stateled development projects implemented to empower women in the Southeast Anatolia Region. The book shows that everyday barriers in Turkey’s ‘gendered regime’ still impede women’s potential and that the state’s large-scale regional development project, the ‘Southeast Anatolia Project’, is ultimately the major priority for the country and facilitates women’s structural exclusion.

Rethinking Gender, Ethnicity and Religion in Iran

An Intersectional Approach to National Identity

Azadeh Kian, University of Paris, France

Covering the Pahlavi modern nation-state as well as the Islamic regime, this book examines the crucial shifts that affected Sunnite and subaltern women after Shi’ism became the state religion after the Iranian Revolution. Focusing on women in the Baluchistan and Golestan provinces of Iran, Azadeh Kian analyses and explores issues of racism, linguicism, ethnocentrism, Shi’a centrism, and patriarchal and chauvinistic ideologies in Iranian society. Based on quantitative and qualitative surveys taken throughout Iran, comprised of over 7,000 married women and 100 interviews with a sample of Sunnite and subaltern Persian women, Kian reveals how social hierarchy and power relations based on gender, class, ethnicity and religion operate.

Edited by Katherine Wolff, Middle East Institute, USA & Karen E. Young, Columbia University, USA

In this book, energy analysts, geopolitical experts and specialists of political economy examine the new energy potential in the Middle East. The particular focus surrounds how the region’s access to finance, combined with the global regulations and considerations of economic development, shape the region’s energy transitions overall. The Middle East is revealed to be a key site of new energy production, sharing and technology innovation. At the same time, the authors examine the variables that will determine the success in each country and the challenges Middle Eastern states will face in navigating the global energy transition.

Spoils of War in the Arab East Reconditioning Society and Polity in Conflict

Edited by Aziz Al-Azmeh, Harout Akdedian, Central European University & Haian Dukhan

This book provides a critical analysis of current post-conflict frameworks for Syria and Iraq. Drawing on empirical research, the book shows that reconciliation and reconstruction scenarios need to be considered alongside the realities on the ground. It argues that Iraq and Syria exist in a condition of ‘conflict transformation’ rather than of ‘conflict termination’, because the extreme changes that accompanied these countries into war continue long after the conflicts end. A critical analysis of existing post-conflict frameworks, their applicability and their potential outcomes in Iraq and Syria, the book is a vital contribution to post-conflict studies.

New Military Strategies in the Gulf

The Mirage of Autonomy in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar

Jean-Loup Samaan

In the last decade, rulers in Gulf regimes have aspired to greater strategic autonomy and distance from the West. This regional trend reflects a redistribution of power in the Arab world. This is the first book to examine the challenging military dimensions of these changes in regional geopolitics. Each chapter covers a key aspect of defence policy and the research is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with major decisionmakers, officials, and diplomatic and military representatives. It is also uses recently declassified and “leaked” official documents to gain rare insight into what Gulf countries intend for their defence policies.

Forced Migration in Jordan Reception Policies and Settlement Strategies

Edited by Jalal Al Husseini, Institut Français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), Jordan, Norig Neveu, French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France & Valentina Napolitano

Jordan sheds important light on key issues around forced migration in the Middle East. This book is the first to study the long-term impact of multiple immigration flows on Jordanian society from 1948 to the present day. Part One investigates the criteria for integration and exclusion imposed by Jordan and international humanitarian organisations on different groups of refugees. Part Two analyses how state policy impacts the solidarity networks between different migrant communities and the different political, social, religious and family networks that are set up in camps and urban settings. Part Three turns to how migrants shape the Jordanian cityscape and geography themselves.

Sufi Warrior Saints

Stories of Sufi Jihad from Muslim Hagiography

Harry S. Neale, Independent Scholar

This book presents a collection of hagiographical stories of Sufi saints, often referred to as friends of Gods. Examining hagiographical depictions of mujahids, Neale corrects misunderstandings of the term jihad in relation to Sufi thought and practice. Using Sufi hagiography, treatises, travel narratives and Muslim histories, each chapter comprises the lives of Sufi saints during significant historical events, from the Crusades to the Mongol Invasion and in regions ranging from Islamic Spain to North Africa and India. Using Persian and Arabic sources, Neale provides a sense of the range, themes and global dissemination of Sufi literature on war and heroism.

Joanna McNaney Stein, CUNY, Kingsborough Community College, USA

As both a songwriter and performer, k.d. lang’s interpretations of love, loss, and longing on her 1992 album, Ingénue, earned her critical acclaim and lifelong fans in both the LGBTQ community and beyond. Ingénue is about her experience with unrequited love, and each track gives listeners a chance to bear witness to the artist’s vulnerability just as stardom was about to strike. Beyond k.d.’s sudden embrace by ‘90s pop culture, and the whirlwind of press that went along with coming out, she is an artist that has broken boundaries of both gender and genre.

'70s Teen Pop

Lucretia Tye Jasmine, Freelance writer, USA

During the 1970s, teen pop sometimes worked subversively, challenging the status quo it seemed to represent. Male pop stars such as David Cassidy were shown suggestively in popular magazines and female pop stars such as Cher had their own TV shows. Teen magazines, pin-ups, comics, films, and TV programs provided luscious visual stereo, promoting fashion styles, lingo, and dance moves, signaling individual identity but also community. The music provided a way for young people to believe they had something all their own, an authenticity experimenting with sexuality and social conduct, all dressed up in glitter and satin, torn fishnets and safety pins. The Jackson 5! Suzi Quatro! Alice Bag! Andy Gibb! KISS! Sometimes, teen pop reinforced aspects of the counterculture it absorbed.

From the kooky original Space Oddity to the disturbingly sublime Lazarus, this book charts the course of David Bowie’s collaborative process, across five decades of music videos.

Remediating Sound Repeatable Culture, YouTube and Music

Edited by Holly Rogers, Goldsmiths University of London, UK, Joana Freitas, NOVA FCSH, Portugal & João Francisco Porfírio

This second volume on YouTube and music scrutinizes the phenomena of remixing, mashup and remediation: forms of reuse and sampling that have come to characterise much of the platform’s audiovisual content. Observing the reciprocal flow of influence that runs between various platforms in cybermedia, this volume explores how transmedial and networked creativity has alighted on YouTube as a central hub for the exploration of digital sound, music and audiovisuality.

Corporate Life in the Digital Music Industry

Remaking the Major Record Label from the Inside Out

Toby Bennett

Drawing on a deep and long-term first-hand engagement with major labels in the early years of the twenty-first century, this book sheds novel light ‘behind the scenes’, at a time of drastic and far-reaching transformation. Refreshingly, it centres not on artists and the most powerful decisionmakers but on everyday experiences of work and sense-making among back-office corporate employees. This oft-forgotten office work tells a different story of contemporary digital music – one more sensitive to the complex intersections of bureaucracy and enterprise, passion and critique, knowledge and experience, that texture the conduct of work and organisational life.

Diva

Feminism and Fierceness from Pop to Hip-Hop

Edited by Kirsty Fairclough, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, Benjamin Halligan, University of Wolverhampton, UK, Shara Rambarran, University of Brighton, UK & Nicole Hodges Persley, University of Kansas, USA

Female R&B and hip-hop artists have redefined contemporary popular music, and wider culture and politics, in the West – from the banlieues to the White House, from Black Lives Matter to #MeToo, from Bette Davis to Neneh Cherry, TLC to Aaliyah, Alicia Keys to Iggy Azalea, Beyoncé to Ariana Grande, and all points in between. The first academic book to focus on divas, this book considers areas such as trans cultures and fierceness and diva-ism, media around diva superstars, and all other cultural practices that resonate with this development.

Listening After Nature

Field Recording, Ecology, Critical Practice

Mark Peter Wright, University of the Arts, London, UK

Listening after Nature examines the constructions and erasures that haunt field recording practice and discourse. Analysing archival and contemporary soundworks through a combination of post-colonial, ecological and sound studies scholarship, Mark Peter Wright recodes the Field; troubles conceptions of Nature; expands site-specificity; and unearths hidden technocultures. What exists beyond the signal? How is agency performed and negotiated between humans and nonhumans? What exactly is a field recording and what are its pedagogical potentials?

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Ethics

Intercultural Phenomenology Playing with Reality

Yuko Ishihara, Ritsumeikan University, Japan & Steven A. Tainer

This book explores the nature of reality by engaging in a cross-cultural dialogue between two of the most influential philosophical traditions of the 20th century. Drawing on ideas from phenomenology and Japanese philosophy, making connections to the Asian contemplative traditions, Daoism and Zen Buddhism, it follows the philosophers who changed their perception of the world by choosing to suspend judgement. Using examples and exercises it covers the philosophical background to Husserl’s idea of the phenomenological epoché and Nishida Kitaro’s insight that true reality is beyond the subject-object duality.

Contextualizing Angela Davis

The Agency and Identity of an Icon

Joy James, Williams College, USA

Excavating layers of networks, activists and academics across the ideological spectrum, Joy James studies the paradigms and platforms that leveraged Angela Davis into recognition as an activist and radical intellectual. Beginning in Alabama in 1944 with Davis’s birthplace and ending in California in 1970 with a surrogate political family, James investigates context in order to better understand the agency and identity of Davis. Her chronology marks key events relevant to Davis, Black communities, and the US, all playing a part in Davis's rise in stature from UC graduate student to the UC Presidential chair some three decades later.

The Politics of Immortality in Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg Theology and Resistance Between 1914-1945

Mårten Björk, Oxford University, UK and Lund University, Sweden

Highlighting the central importance of theological configurations of immortality and eternal life from 1914-1945, Mårten Björk explores the key writings of Franz Rosenzweig, Karl Barth and Oskar Goldberg to situate their ideas in relation to the political turmoil of the period, including the rise of social Darwinism, nationalism and fascism. By situating the exact political consequences of theological and metaphysical theories of immortality and eternal life, Björk’s discussion of Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg confronts the perennial question on the relation between life and death.

Comparing Husserl’s Phenomenology and Chinese

Yogacara in a Multicultural World

A Journey Beyond Orientalism

Jingjing Li, Leiden University, the Netherlands

While phenomenology and Yogacara Buddhism are both known for their investigations of consciousness, there exists a core tension between them: phenomenology affirms the existence of essence, whereas Yogacara Buddhism argues that everything is empty of essence (svabhava). This book details the process of finding a middle ground between the two traditions, demonstrating how they can thrive together in order to overcome Orientalism.

Heidegger and Dao Things, Nothingness, Freedom

Eric S. Nelson, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong

Eric S. Nelson offers a contextualized and systematic exploration of the Chinese sources and German language interpretations that shaped Heidegger's engagement with Daoism and his thinking of the thing, nothingness, and the freedom of releasement (Gelassenheit). Encompassing numerous forgotten and recently published historical sources, including Heidegger’s Daoist related reflections in his recently published lectures and notebooks, Nelson presents a critical intercultural reinterpretation of Heidegger's philosophical journey. This critical reinterpretation with and beyond Heidegger of early Daoist and classic Chinese Buddhist sources, provides a reimagining of the thing and nothingness.

Daoist Resonances in Heidegger Exploring a Forgotten Debt

Edited by David Chai, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

In the first book-length study dedicated to the thought of Heidegger and Daoism, this collection provides a lesson in the art of Daoist thinking without becoming consumed by the question of being. Written by a team of scholars with the expertise to uncover insights from Heidegger’s vast corpus without losing sight of Daoism’s core doctrines, they argue that Heidegger’s turn to Daoism was due in part to the inability of the Western philosophical tradition to offer him the answers he needed as he sought a “second beginning” from which to reexamine the question of being.

A Defence of Theological Virtue Ethics

Adam M. Willows, University of Notre Dame, USA

This book addresses various concerns including claims that virtue ethics is incomplete and inconsistent; that it flies in the face of psychological reality; and that it commits itself to unpalatable moral positions such as egoism, relativism and particularism. To each of these it gives a response grounded in moral and metaphysical theological commitments, often suggesting new approaches not explored by secular thinkers. In doing so it refutes the criticisms at hand and makes a positive case for a distinctively theological virtue ethics.

By Faith Alone

The Medieval Church and Martin Luther

Lev Shestov

Translated by Stephen P. Van Trees, Independent Translator, USA

Lev Shestov’s By Faith Alone confronts Eastern and Western European conceptions of faith through Russian literature, ancient and medieval philosophy, and Christian theology. Written from 1910-1914, this first Englishlanguage translation brings together important early writings on the medieval church and Martin Luther. Shestov reconciles the Greek notion of rational truth with Biblical revelation by drawing on a wide range of sources from Plato to Saint Augustine and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to William of Ockam. By Faith Alone provides a crucial piece of the puzzle in the genesis of Shestov’s later and better-known writings on medieval philosophy.

Philosophy of Lyric Voice

The Cognitive Value of Page and Performance Poetry

Karen Simecek, Warwick University, UK

Carefully considering the difference in the philosophical potential of page poetry and performance poetry, Karen Simecek argues that it is only by considering them side by side that the unique cognitive value of each can be realised. By reframing lyric poetry as a social artform, she reveals the importance of voice and embodied words to the differing epistemic rewards of engaging with contemporary poetry in both private reading and live performance. Through analysis of numerous different poems, Simecek concludes that both page poetry and performance poetry involve appreciating connections with others and realising the limits of our perspectives.

Heidegger and Poetry in the Digital Age asks provocative questions to progress the philosophical study of poetry, tracing new lines of thought in Heidegger studies and critical studies of contemporary poetry.

The essays traverse the philosophical conception of the self in modern poetry and locate connections between poets including William Wordsworth, Wallace Stevens, and John Ashbery alongside philosophers including Wittgenstein, Kant, and Schopenhauer. Using an associative and impressionistic style to write philosophically about poetry, Koethe defends his own approach that such writing cannot and should not aim for the rigor of philosophical argumentation.

This valuable addition to the philosophy of design expresses a commitment to real aesthetics, connects concrete issues in both practice and experience to philosophical ideas, and reveals the role aesthetics plays in considerations about the good life.

Taste and Experience in Eighteenth-Century British Aesthetics

The Move toward Empiricism

Dabney Townsend, Georgia Southern University, USA

Examining a proto-aesthetic, Dabney Townsend surveys theories of taste and beauty arising from the empiricist shift in philosophy in 18th-century Britain. Featuring chapters tracing its philosophical principles, issues raised by the subjectivity of the empiricist approach and the more academic proto-aesthetic formed toward the end of the century, this volume proposes that Lockean empiricism laid the foundations for what we now call aesthetics. Townsend draws on a wealth of thinkers such as Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Alexander Gerard and Thomas Reid to present a novel reading of the century and challenge our understanding of the philosophy of art.

Adorning Bodies

Meaning, Evolution, and Beauty in Humans and Animals

Marilynn Johnson, University of San Diego, USA Drawing on evolutionary theory and philosophy to think about art, beauty, and aesthetics, Marilynn Johnson explores first how the ways we use our bodies are similar — yet at other times different — to animals. She then examines the work of evolutionary theorists, philosophers of language, and cultural theorists to explore both natural and non-natural meanings of bodies and clothes, and how both systems of meaning signify relevant information to other humans. Finally, Johnson shows that how we dress could negatively influence the way our bodies are read, and how some humans and animals use their bodies to deceive.

Why Philosophy Matters

Constantine Sandis, University of Hertfordshire, UK

Why Cicero Matters

Vittorio Bufacchi, University College Cork, Ireland

Why Cicero Matters shows us how the Roman philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius, better known as Cicero, can help realize a new political world. His impact on humanitarianism, the Enlightenment, and the Founding Fathers of America is immense. Yet we give Julius Caesar all our attention. Why? What does this say about modern politics and political culture? This book gives us Cicero as an antidote to the myth of the strong man of history. In an age when anti-intellectualism runs rampant, it introduces us to an ancient philosopher who reminds us that culture is, or ought to be, the foundation of any modern democracy.

Visual Metaphors and Aesthetics A Formalist Theory of Metaphor

Michalle Gal, Unit of History and Philosophy of Art and Design, Shenkar College, Israel

This book offers a new definition of metaphor—as an ontological and visual construction, whose roots are external visual forms, and its motivation is our attachment to forms. Michalle Gal responds to the visual turn that is taking place in literature and the media, demanding that the visual become a site of philosophical analysis. Setting out a new theory that takes into account that humans are visual no less than cognitive creatures, she lays the foundation for a new vocabulary to talk about metaphors.

Skill in Ancient Ethics

The Legacy of China, Greece and Rome

Edited by Tom Angier, University of Cape

Town, South Africa & Lisa Raphals, University of California Riverside, USA

Providing an overview of ethics in Ancient Greece, Rome and China, this collection brings together scholars working across this broad topic. As well as traditional figures, it also features essays on the importance of skill in lesser-known philosophers including Carneades and Antipater, and texts such as the Zhuangzi. In doing so, it illustrates how skill, expertise and ‘know how’ are central to ethics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action and cognitive science.

Why Collingwood Matters A Defence of Humanistic Understanding

Giuseppina D'Oro, Keele University, UK

R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943) was an English philosopher, historian and practicing archaeologist. His work, particularly in the philosophy of action and history, has been profoundly influential in 20th and 21st century thought.

Giussepina D'oro considers the importance of Collingwood as a thinker who thinks kaleidoscopically and, unlike lots of contemporary philosophers, refuses to focus on narrow, technical interests but as a whole world of thought. Both an elucidation of Collingwood's thought and a lively exploration of its contemporary relevance, Why Collingwood Matters provides a much-needed examination of a 20thcentury polymath.

Marginality in Philosophy and Psychology

The Limits of Psychological Explanation

George Tudorie, National University of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest, Romania

Psychology often resorts to overambitious theorizing due to a perceived pressure to justify its scientific credentials. Analysing case studies of preverbal children and mentally ill patients, this book shows that applying overarching and unifying explanations to marginal subjects is problematic, arguing instead that those at the margins should be given their proper explanatory autonomy. Drawing on canonical theories by a diverse set of authors, such as Dilthey, Collingwood, Wittgenstein, Foucault, John McDowell, Susan Carey, Michael Tomasello, and Chris Frith, this book is an important contribution to ongoing debates on marginality among psychiatrists, psychologists, social scientists, and philosophers.

Biopolitics After Neuroscience

Morality and the Economy of Virtue

Jeffrey P. Bishop, Saint Louis University, USA, M. Therese Lysaught, Loyola University Chicago, USA & Andrew A. Michel, Belmont University, USA

This book offers a provocative analysis of the neuroscience of morality. Written by three leading scholars of science, medicine, and bioethics, it critiques contemporary neuroscientific claims about individual morality and notions of good and evil. It calls for a humbler and more constrained neuroscience, informed by a more robust human anthropology that embraces the nobility and beauty, as well as the frailties and flaws, of human beings as opportunities that necessitate social cohesion and the care of the least among us.

The Futility of Philosophical Ethics

Metaethics and the Grounds of Moral Feeling

James Kirwan, Kansai University, Japan

The Futility of Philosophical Ethics puts forward a novel account of the grounds of moral feeling with fundamental implications for philosophical ethics. It examines the grounds of moral feeling by both the phenomenology of that feeling, and the facts of moral feeling in operation that appear paradoxical from the point of view of systematic ethics. Instead of trying to erase the variety of moral responses that exist in philosophical analysis under one totalizing system, Kirwan argues that such moral theorizing is futile and demonstrates why so many arguments in metaethics and normative ethics are necessarily irresolvable.

Andrea Cesalpino and Renaissance Aristotelianism

Natural Philosophy in the 16th Century

Edited by Fabrizio Baldassarri, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy & Craig Martin, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy

Shedding new light on Andrea Cesalpino, an understudied Italian Renaissance scholar, Fabrizio Baldassarri and Craig Martin’s volume covers the diverse fields he wrote on including logic, epistemology, demonology, natural philosophy, mineralogy, botany, and medicine. By moving beyond the established influence of Aristotle’s texts on his work, this book reflects the rich influences of Platonism, alchemy, Galenism, and Hippocratic ideas. Baldassarri and Martin provide a clear case study of Renaissance Aristotelianism applied to a variety of disciplines that delineates the changing cultures of early modern understandings of nature.

While contemporary accounts of hylomorphism appeal to structure, advocating that material substances can have other substances as parts, James Dominic Rooney highlights the flaws in this Neo-Aristotelian way of thinking. Instead, he draws on Thomas Aquinas’ account of form and the Song dynasty Confucian thinker Zhu Xi’s hylomorphic intuitions to put forward that the unity of material objects depends on special immaterial parts, or ‘forms’, enabling hylomorphism to remain a plausible framework. Demonstrating the far-reaching points of theoretical contact between Western and Confucian thought, this book shines new light on a classic problem in contemporary metaphysics.

Nietzsche’s 'Ecce Homo' and the Revaluation of All Values

Dionysian Versus Christian Values

Thomas H. Brobjer, Uppsala University, Sweden

Challenging the standard interpretation of Nietzsche’s last published work, Ecce Homo, as mere autobiography, Thomas H. Brobjer provides an analysis of Ecce Homo as fundamental to his unfinished masterwork on the revaluation of all values. Brobjer situates his late work in the desire to undermine the system of Christian values that Nietzsche believed were unchecked as the standard moral gauge for his time. In this context, Ecce Homo is able to take a new place within the history of philosophy, with Brobjer providing a complete corrective to its reception as a self-referential text full of eccentricities and little philosophical significance.

The relevance and fruitfulness of Kögler’s work has never been greater. Building upon his theories of selfhood as reflexive, international contributors explore the methodological, theoretical and applicative scope of critical hermeneutics and, in doing so, address some of the most pressing problems facing global society, from multilingual education to the urgent need for intercultural dialogue.

The Philosophy of Rabbi Shalom Ber Schneersohn

Edited

by Marcel Stoetzler, Bangor University, UK

This volume provides a systematic re-examination of the Frankfurt School’s theory of antisemitism. Uncovering how critical theory differs from mainstream socialist or liberal critiques of antisemitism, this book reveals the connections between the Frankfurt School’s writing on antisemitism and other pressing societal issues, including patriarchy and racism more broadly. This volume further employs critical theory to scrutinise antisemitism in right- and leftwing politics and develops, in its critique of antisemitism, a critique of capitalism, asking: why does capitalist society seem bound to produce antisemitism? And how do we challenge it?

Bringing him into dialogue with key continental philosophers Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida and Julia Kristeva, this book reveals how Schneersohn’s views anticipated many prominent themes in 20th-century thought. Beginning by uncovering and contesting the scholarly assumptions that have excluded traditional rabbinic thinkers from contemporary philosophy, Leigh seeks to correct this through a close reading of Schneersohn’s 1898 discourses.

Christianity after Christendom Heretical Perspectives in Philosophical Theology

Martin Koci, University of Vienna, Austria

What comes after the end of Christendom?

Christianity has ceased to function as the dominant force in society and yet the Christian faith continues. How are we to understand Christianity in this ‘after’?

Bringing into conversation seven unorthodox or ‘heretical’ continental philosophers, including Jan Patocka, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gianni Vattimo and John D. Caputo, Martin Koci boldly proposes that Christians must embrace the demise of Christianity as a meta-narrative and see their faith as an existential mode of being-in-the-world. As such, he introduces new perspectives on the present and future of Christianity as an embodied religious tradition.

For Revolt Rancière, Abstract Space and Emancipation

Jussi Palmusaari, King's College London, UK

For Revolt: Rancière, Abstract Space and Emancipation presents an interpretation of Rancière's uncompromising view of emancipation, drawing on its invariably rational and Kantianmoralist basis. Tracing a logic of abstract or empty space in all of Rancière's work, it contrasts the prevailing tendencies to emphasise Rancière's sensitivity to evolving historical forms and changing regimes of sensibility. Through a critical discussion of Rancière in relation to other contemporary accounts of revolt and resistance, the book addresses the present predicament of emancipatory politics, its emphasis on the actualities of here and now and its difficulties to envisage programmatic realisations of radically alternative futures.

The Power of Distraction Diversion and Reverie from Montaigne to Proust

Alessandra Aloisi, University of Oxford, UK

From reducing screen time to the Pomodoro Technique, we’re constantly being advised to avoid distraction if we want to live and work better. But Alessandra Aloisi argues we’re missing the point. Drawing on a broad range of European philosophy and literature, this book considers distraction not as a human imperfection, but as a creative, subversive and aesthetic capability. Aloisi demonstrates not only the serendipity of distraction through creative case studies, from Manet to Black Mirror, but also its political value, as distraction provides what Bergson called a ‘slight revolt’ from the codes and behaviours that society dictates.

Materiality, Ecology and Quasi-Objects

Massimiliano Simons, Ghent University, Belgium

This is the first systematic study of Serres’s work in the context of late 20th-century French philosophy of science that proposes new readings of his philosophy. Massimiliano Simons creates a synthesis between Serres’s predecessors, Gaston Bachelard, Georges Canguilhem, and Louis Althusser as well as contemporary Francophone philosophers of science such as Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers. Michel Serres and French Philosophy of Science takes in themes of materiality, religiosity, modernity and ecology to show how Serres’s philosophy can serve as a normative approach to science and technology in contemporary life.

The Parallel Philosophies of Sartre and Nietzsche

Ethics, Ontology and the Self

Nik Farrell Fox, University of Lincoln, UK

Tracing the connections between the existentialist philosophies of these two philosophers, Nik Farrell Fox provides new readings of Nietzsche and Sartre attuned to questions of the self, politics and ethics. Through engaging with new readings of Nietzsche and Sartre as authoritative strands of interpretation, this book identifies both philosophers as twin thinkers of a deconstructive and paradoxical logic. Fox further re-examines their work in light of contemporary debates concerning posthumanism, vibrant materialism, quantum theory and speculative realism. This volume presents two iconic existentialists as thoroughly contemporary thinkers whose complex, rich and sometimesambiguous philosophy illuminates our present existential situation.

Visceral Prostheses

Somatechnics and Posthuman Embodiment

Margrit Shildrick, Stockholm University, Sweden

In the postmodern era, when the interface of bodies, biologies and technologies increasingly challenges the very notion of what counts as human, Margrit Shildrick proposes innovative understandings of the limits and possible extensions of posthuman embodiment. Broadening our understanding of prostheses to include visceral organic prostheses, which involve any cellular material that cannot be identified with the self – including organ transplantation and the physiological process of microchimerism – Shildrick rejects both genetic and existential singularity. She argues that prostheticised bodies should no longer be understood as irregular forms of normative embodiment, but as the irreducible experience of posthuman entanglements.

Drawing on Lewis’s general view of pleasure as the ultimate purpose of human life, Goetz explores how these views informed his justification of a university education. He introduces us to Lewis’s utilitarian view that learning and knowledge are valuable when they lead to experiences of pleasure, presenting Lewis’s defence for his own involvement in higher education as a Christian, his response to naturalism in the academy and the practical issues of implementing Lewis’s thought.

The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability

Animal Dignity

Philosophical Reflections on Non-Human Existence

Edited by

Melanie Challenger, Independent Writer and Researcher,

UK

The case for animal dignity is a pressing concern that leading thinkers and writers from Dame Jane Goodall to Martha Nussbaum argue society needs to embrace now. Introducing readers to the concept of nonhuman animal dignity through its manifestation in history, law, science, philosophy, and literature, international authors provide a rich overview of the complex interplay between different species sharing the earth today. United in recognizing the dignity of nonhuman animals, these essays suggest how applying this concept can lead to a flourishing environment in times of ecological destruction and climate breakdown.

On Bernard Stiegler Philosopher of Friendship

Edited

by Shelley Lynn Tremain, Independent Researcher, Canada

Philosophies of Disability seeks to explore disability not as a closed off field of study but as a set of experiences and ways of thinking that intersect with almost every aspect of how we live today. Disability is not separate from other processes of marginalisation and this book emphasises intersectional thinking that engages with disability and other urgent issues including race, gender, trans experience, animals and other beings, ageism, neurodiversity, immigration, prisons and fatness. Asking us to affirm otherness, this book is a crucial guide to oppositional thinking from an international, intersectional and inclusive collection of writers.

The Paralysis of Analysis in African American Studies

Corporate Capitalism and Black Popular Culture

Stephen C. Ferguson II, North Carolina State University, USA

The Paralysis of Analysis in African American Studies provides a philosophical examination of Black popular culture for the first time. From extensive discussion of the philosophy and political economy of Hip-Hop music through to a developed exploration of the influence of the postmodernism-poststructuralist ideology on African American studies, Stephen C. Ferguson II argues how postmodernism ideology plays a seminal role in justifying the relationship between corporate capitalism and Black popular culture. Chapters cover topics such as cultural populism, capitalism and Black liberation, the philosophy of Hip-Hop music and Harold Cruse’s influence on the ‘cultural turn’ in African American studies.

Edited by Jean-Luc Nancy

Bernard Stiegler invites us to question the relationship between a thinker's life and their thought. For Stiegler, they were inextricable. His life was one focused on friendship, but not friendships at a purely social level but ones that produced philosophy, politics, and existential truths. Bringing together scholars who knew Stiegler, including Shaj Mohan, Achille Mbembe, Divya Dwivedi, and Emily Apter, this volume provides an original, and personal, insight into his life and philosophy. Each piece gives a sense of the wide range of Stiegler’s work and how it affected the praxis of the philosopher in different parts of the world.

A Philosophical History of Police Power

Melayna Lamb, University of Sussex, UK

This book demonstrates the manner in which police power exists in a complex relationship with sovereignty and law, in a form which is not reducible to implementation. It argues for the centrality of order in any consideration of police and challenging a common narrative whereby a dynamic, interventionist sovereign power that follows from a belief of order as ‘artificial’ is replaced by a liberal, non-interventionist sovereign power that proceeds from a ‘natural’ order. Moving through thinkers such as Hobbes, Hegel and Adam Smith the book shows the an-archic character of police power.

African Democracy

Impediments, Promises, and Prospects

Edited by Jonathan O. Chimakonam, University of Pretoria, South Africa and Eberhard Karls, University of Tubingen, Germany & Isaiah A. Negedu, University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

This is the first comprehensive examination of the social and political consequences of democracy in Africa. Written from an African philosophical perspective, leading and emerging scholars explore the impact of democracy on the lived experience of the African people. Looking in particular at the sub-Sahara, it reveals the influence that the failures of democracy have on fundamental needs, including allocation of primary resources, autonomy, welfare and women’s rights. This pioneering volume gives an unflinching insight into the struggles caused by democracy in Africa, whilst also, crucially, pointing to its accomplishments and the future possibilities for African nations.

Pragmatist Feminism and the Work of Charlene Haddock Seigfried

Dialogue and Decolonization

Historical, Philosophical, and Political Perspectives

Edited by Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands

By bringing together philosophers whose work on political philosophy, intellectual history and world philosophies push the boundaries of conventional scholarship, this collaborative collection opens up space in political philosophy for new approaches. Each contribution responds to the challenges James Tully raises for comparative political thought. Arranged around Tully’s opening chapter, contributors demonstrate the value of critical dialogue and point to the different attempts cultures make to understand their experiences. Through the use of methods from various disciplines and culture, each interlocutor exemplifies the transformative power of genuine democratic dialogue across philosophical traditions.

Philosophies of Work in the Platonic Tradition

A History of Labor and Human Flourishing

Jeffrey Hanson, Harvard University, USA

In this historical survey of the Platonic tradition, Jeffrey Hanson draws on the work of its major thinkers to explain why our contemporary vocabulary for appraising labor and its rewards is too narrow. By tracing out the Platonic lineage of work, Hanson argues why we should be explaining the value in appraising it as an element of a happy and flourishing human life, quite apart from its financial rewards. This original study of Plato and his inheritors’ ideas provides practical suggestions for how to approach work in a socially responsible manner in the 21st century and reveals the benefits of linking work and morality.

A contemporary appraisal of the breadth, significance, and legacy of the work of Charlene Haddock Seigfried, this book brings together writings focused on pragmatist feminism/feminist pragmatism, contemporary pragmatism, William James and the reconstruction of philosophy, education and American philosophy in the 21st century. Seigfried is a looming figure in American thought who coined the phrase 'pragmatist feminist' which has become an increasingly important concept in contemporary philosophy. This book explores and pushes this theory and brings it into conversation with some of the most vibrant strands of current philosophy.

By developing a thorough analysis of the UK's past and present crises, Kirk sheds light on how and what will determine whether the crisis is resolved, and in which 'old' conservative or 'new' radical ways.

Greece and the Cold War

Diplomacy and Anti-Colonialism in the Aftermath of Civil Conflict

Alexander Kazamias, Coventry University, UK

After the proclamation of the Truman Doctrine in 1947, the US became deeply involved in Greek affairs. By 1952, however, the pro-Western Papagos government began to support Greek nationalism in Cyprus, demanding an end to British colonial rule. Opposition to these calls by the US, Britain and Turkey caused the first crisis within NATO since its creation. The book analyses these events from the novel perspective of critical international theory and exposes the unexplored connections between dependence and nationalism in Greek foreign policy.

Ethnic Federalism in Cyprus

Territory, Power, and Security

Pavlos I. Koktsidis, University of Cyprus

Explores the differing approaches of Greek and Turkish Cypriots to the UN designated peace plan within negotiations for the settlement of the Cyprus Question, and how these are being driven by underlying security considerations.

Using survey data and leadership assessments, Koktsidis identifies contrasting views on institutional provisions, and links them to each community’s security perceptions. This new primary data reveals the impact of security perceptions on leadership-behaviour patterns - especially the prevalence of fear, uncertainty, and mistrust. Additional attention is paid to the impact of psychological trauma and the lack of cognitive accuracy in decisionmaking processes.

The Presumption Race and Injustice in the United States

D. Marvin Jones, University of Miami, USA

This powerful book on racism in the United States argues that a threatening narrative originating in slavery continues to link Black people to inferiority, dangerousness, and crime, causing them to be presumed guilty by society and U.S. legal systems. In chapters on slavery, urban spaces, the drug war, media portrayals, and white spaces, he shows how the presumption of guilt continues to shape the treatment of Black people in the United States. Arguing that this presumption is not simply a matter of hate on the part of individuals, but instead a social process linked to a widely shared racial ideology, The Presumption points out the continuation of racial caste in the U.S. as a crisis for democracy and provides a blueprint for a kind of second Reconstruction.

Australian Foreign Policy Relationships, Issues, and Strategic Culture

Michael O'Keefe, La Trobe University, AUS How does Australia's unique geographical, cultural and historical position influence its approach to foreign policy? What key challenges does Australia face on the world stage, and how can it overcome them? Reflecting the messy reality of foreign policy decision-making, this book helps you to understand the changes and continuities in Australia's approach. For example, does the US withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973 and collapse of South Vietnam continue to cast a shadow over Australian foreign policy, or is it relevant only in understanding the dynamics of the cold war? Using an Australian Strategic Culture framework, O'Keefe sheds light on the characteristics that make Australia behave in a way different to any other country. Equipping you with analytic skills to understand the main debates, this book is essential reading if you are a student of Australian foreign policy, as well as of broader Australian domestic and international politics.

Defining Iran's Military Doctrine

University,

This unique study applies the theory of Hybrid Warfare to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), outlining Iran’s hybrid war and irregular capabilities. The IRGC’s nurturing of proxy Shia groups have largely been ignored by policymakers for nearly two decades, and the West has only recently begun to pay attention as their attacks have became more blatant. Keshavarz details the hybrid capabilities of the IRGC and, crucially, shows how the US and the West can adapt to better combat this challenge.

David Masciotra, Independent Scholar, USA

There are few figures and leaders of recent American history of greater social and political consequence than Jesse Jackson, and few more relevant for America’s current political climate. Exploring Jesse Jackson's legacy, I am Somebody is based on over one hundred interviews with the man himself, as well as interviews with a wide variety of elected officials and activists who Jackson has inspired and influenced. As Democratic politics sees a return to radicalism and the rise of a new generation committed to racial and economic justice, this book is critical for understanding where America has come from and where it is going.

Peacekeeping with no Peace to Keep

The Challenges of the UN Mission in Mali

Abdoulaye Bathily, King's College London, UK & Leonide Awah, CODESRIA

In Peacekeeping with No Peace to Keep, Abdoulaye Bathily – who served as Deputy Special Representative for the Secretary General (SRSG) for the UN mission in Mali – provides unique insights into the relevance of effective leadership for building peace.

Bathily, with no previous UN experience, accepted the position of SRSG for the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), asked to keep the peace in a situation where, as he argues in this book 'there was no peace to keep'.

Drawing on these experiences – as well as those gained from his later role as Special Representative to the Secretary General for the mission in Central Africa – Bathily analyses the problems he faced and sets out the lessons he learned in terms of what effective leadership looks like in peacekeeping situations. In particular, Bathily shares insights on how to build and sustain relations with host governments, as well as how to engage the plethora of actors typically present in peacekeeping situations across Africa.

Populism in the Conservative and Libertarian Working Class

Privileged Populists sets out to understand the organic emergence of anti-political populism within the context of late-stage capitalism in the West. This book analyses how these elements inform and validate each other as means of appealing to the growing sense of cultural angst and economic unrest within the conservative working class—and unwittingly giving undue credence to some of the most extreme right-wing ideological claims in the process.

Religion, Disease, and Immunology

Thomas B. Ellis, Appalachian State University, USA

Argues that religion has emerged over evolutionary time as a strategy for managing the transmission, contraction, and eradication of infectious disease. From purity and pollution codes to blood sacrifices and irrational beliefs, it shows how religion supports not only the physiological immune system, but the behavioral and psychological immune systems as well. It also addresses those moments when it appears that religion becomes maladaptive, that is, religion occasionally causes “autoimmune problems,” such as celibacy and anti-vaccination.

The Politics of Sacred Places

A View from Israel-Palestine

Nimrod Luz, Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee, Israel

A study of the socio-political dimensions of sacred sites in Israel-Palestine, drawing on over 20 years of in-depth ethnographic research which introduces cutting-edge theories on secularization, struggles for recognition and diversity issues.

This book focuses on contemporary sacred sites and their sociopolitical meanings for minorities within a hegemonic and a secularizing state-system. It argues that sacred places and the ample socio-religious-political practices they entail provide a space which is less scrutinized by the state and hegemonic powers within it, where alternative visions of the socio-political may be produced.

Christians in the City of Shanghai

A History Resurrected Above the Sea

Susangeline Y. Patrick, Nazarene Theological Seminary, USA

As the largest Chinese city, the study of Christians in urban Shanghai over the last 470 years serves as a model highlighting how a minority religion in a city has interacted with other religions, as well as social, political, and economic changes. The interactions between the global and local generate insights into multiculturalism, globalization, Sinicization, and ecclesiology. The interreligious dialogues between Shanghai Christians and other religions and philosophies such as Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, and Judaism throughout history also provides valuable reflections on the roles of Christians in a multireligious space.

Shame, Modesty, and Honor in Islam

Edited by Ayang Utriza Yakin, UCLouvain, Belgium, Adis Duderija, Griffith University, Australia & An Van Raemdonck, Ghent University, Belgium

The book examines various conceptions of hayâ, or feelings of shame, modesty and honor in Islam, and the practices associated with this concept in both Muslim majority and minority contexts. It argues that hayâ’ or modesty is the result of social constructions in which ideas, objects and practices interact in social and cultural contexts. It then demonstrates how this concept has undergone profound transformations temporally and spatially.

Devotional Visualities

Seeing Bhakti in Indic Material Cultures

Edited by Karen Pechilis, Drew University, USA & Amy-Ruth Holt, independent scholar, USA

This book is the first to focus on material visualities that shape, convey and expand paths of devotional participation (bhakti) from across India, in the past and present. It argues that a central focus on visuality is both at the heart of bhakti expression, and as an academic focus, it changes our understanding of bhakti’s development and impact through analysis of material religion. This book shows that examining bhakti’s visualities is crucial for understanding its wide and enduring influence on the field of religion and beyond.

Philosophical Enactment and Bodily Cultivation in Early Daoism

In the Matrix of the Daodejing

Thomas Michael, Beijing Normal University, China

This book centers on the matrix of the Daodejing that harbors a penetrating phenomenology of the Dao together with a rigorous system of bodily cultivation. It traces the historical journey of the text from its earliest oral circulations to its later transcriptions seen in a growing collection of ancient Chinese excavated manuscripts. It examines the ways in which Huang-Lao thinkers from the Han Dynasty transformed the original phenomenology of the Daodejing into a metaphysics that reconfigured its original matrix, and it explores the success of the Wei-Jin Daoist Ge Hong in bringing the matrix back into its original alignment.

Through case studies of famed pilgrimage routes and temples, such as the Shikoku Pilgrimage, it analyses the nationalistic rhetoric of nostalgia and unique heritage that underpins the promotion of religious sites.

Love Does Not Seek Its Own Augustine, Economic Division, and the Formation of a Common Life

Jonathan D. Ryan, Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand

This volume highlights the relevance of Augustine's insightful teaching to contemporary challenges of economic division. Jonathan D. Ryan argues that the movement from private self-interest towards common love of God and neighbour is fundamental to the church’s formation and identity amidst contemporary contexts of economic inequality. Ryan demonstrates that this central theme shapes Augustine of Hippo’s pastoral guidance on matters pertinent to economic division, including use of material resources, and attitudes toward rich and poor.

The Origin of Humanity and Evolution

Science and Scripture in Conversation

Andrew Ter Ern Loke, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong

Proposes a model which argues that all humans today have Adam as common ancestor, and through this model, Andrew Ter Ern Loke argues that the theory of evolution as understood by mainstream scientists is compatible with Scripture. Whilst affirming that the Bible should be interpreted according to proper hermeneutical principles such as considering the literary genre, literary context, meaning of words, grammatical relationship, and the background and concerns of the ancient authors, this book also assesses the scientific data according to proper mainstream scientific methodology.

Characters and Characterization in the Book of Judges

Edited by Keith Bodner, Crandall University, Canada & Benjamin J.M. Johnson, LeTourneau University, USA

How does our assessment of the characters of a story shape the way we read it? By analyzing the complex characterization in the Book of Judges, this book pays attention to an often neglected but important area of study in the Hebrew Bible. Its international group of contributors explore the implications of characterization on storytelling, situating their contributions within the context of literary studies of the Hebrew Bible, and offering multiple perspectives on the many and various characters one encounters in the Book of Judges.

Text as Revelation

Edited by Hanna Tervanotko, University of Helsinki, Finland & Jonathan Stökl, King’s College London, UK.

This volume analyses the shift of revelatory experiences from oral to written that is described in ancient Jewish literature, including rabbinic texts. The individual essays seek to understand how, why, and for whom texts became the locus of revelation. With subjects ranging from Ancient Egyptian and Sibylline oracles to Hellenistic writings and the books of Isaiah, Deuteronomy and Jeremiah, the studies in this volume bring together established and new voices reflecting on the issues raised by the interplay between writing and (divinatory) revelation.

The Judgement of Jonah Yahweh, Jerusalem and Nineveh

Alastair G. Hunter, University of Glasgow, UK

This is a commentary with a difference, in which the reading of the prophet’s travails is explored in the context of two wider themes. These are the overt and highly sophisticated intertwining of Jonah’s story with an impressively wide range of other biblical texts, often deployed in surprising ways; and the clearly contrarian relationship between God and Jonah which has both vexed and intrigued scholars and lay readers alike for millennia.

The Bible and Comics Women, Power and Representation in Graphic Narratives

Zanne Domoney-Lyttle, University of Glasgow, UK

This interdisciplinary volume traces the diverse ways in which creators of biblical comics present women, constructs of power and ideas of motherhood. Using examples from both secular and religious comic Bibles, and comic Bibles aimed at children and older audiences, Zanne Domoney-Lyttle fully considers contemporary remediations of biblical narratives and how the graphic novel medium affects the reception of the text in several ways. She investigates how the production, format and function of comic Bibles encourage the depiction of biblical characters from a contemporary perspective, while at the same time showing some fidelity to the text.

Life and Death

Social Perspectives on Biblical Bodies

Edited by Francesca Stavrakopoulou, University of Exeter, UK

This volume explores some of the social, material, and ideological dynamics shaping life and death in both the Hebrew Bible and ancient Israel and Judah. Analysing topics ranging from the bodily realities of gestations, subsistence, and death, and embodied performances of gender, power, and status, to the imagined realities of post-mortem and divine existence, the essays in this volume offer exciting new trajectories in our understanding of the ways in which embodiment played out in the societies in which the texts of the Hebrew Bible emerged.

The Ethiopian Eunuch and Conceptuality in the Imperial Imagination of Biblical Studies

Gifford Rhamie

Gifford Rhamie addresses the contentious question, “why cannot the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40 be conceptualised as a Jew in the British academy?” Rhamie uses postcolonial studies and theory to examine the Ethiopian eunuch’s ethnoreligious agency, finding two epistemological lenses: whiteness and ‘critical conviviality’. The former is employed in the function of deconstructing, while the latter encourages opening one’s conceptuality in a multidimensional way, functioning to reconstruct analyses for agency.

Luke in His Own Words

A Study of the Language of Luke–Acts in

Greek

Jenny Read-Heimerdinger, University of Wales

Trinity Saint David, UK

An examination of the language of Luke-Acts that draws out aspects of the author's use of Greek that traditional approaches have not accounted for. These include variation in word order, alternative spellings and fine distinctions between synonyms. Drawing on recent developments in linguistics, broadly referred to as ‘discourse analysis’, ReadHeimerdinger shows how paying close attention to the context of language is important for understanding reasons behind an author’s choices.

The Moral Life According to Mark

M. John-Patrick O’Connor, North Central University, USA

M. John-Patrick O'Connor proposes that Mark’s Gospel — as the earliest record of the life of Jesus — presents a theological description of the moral life. O'Connor argues for Mark's ethical validity in comparison to Matthew and Luke. He examines Greco-Romanic conceptions of morality and moral accountability according to Mark, and explores the personification of evil in the gospel, human responsibility, punitive consequences and evil's role in Mark's moral landscape.

Edited by Seth M. Ehorn, Wheaton College, USA

By focusing exclusively on the book of Exodus and its’ constant allusions found throughout the body of the New Testament, the contributors to this volume seek to enhance awareness of the textual transmission of Exodus in the first century. This volume is thus able to encourage further methodological reflection on the use of scripture vs. scriptural traditions as employed by ancient authors.

The Formal Education of the Author of Luke-Acts

Steve Reece, St Olaf College, USA

Steve Reece argues that the author of Luke-Acts was aware of many literary works that formed a part of basic Hellenistic literate education, and makes his case by proving that many Greek authors were well known (from papyrological and citational data) at the likely time of Luke’s composition. By focusing solely upon LukeActs, Reece is able to explore the evident Hellenistic education of the author, including the content of the curriculum, and the papyrological evidence of school exercises, his potential familiarity with Greek authors, and the influence of each of these major authors upon his work.

Jonathan B. Ensor revisits the scholarly consensus concerning Paul’s intermediate visit to the Corinthians between his first and second epistles. Ensor re-evaluates the textual evidence and interprets the event through a socio-historical lens, focusing upon ancient trial by ordeal and exit in the context of communal conflict. His analysis sheds significant light upon the social behaviours involved in Paul's visit and its interpretation.

Paul Danove presents a case-frame grammar and lexicon for the Book of Revelation, with three major goals. He first provides a step-by-step introduction to Case Frame analysis, incorporating various adaptations and extensions to address the needs of the study of the Greek of the New Testament. He then supplies a comprehensive Case Frame grammar and description of the syntactic, semantic, and lexical requirements that each predicator imposes on its complements. Finally, Danove generates a Case Frame lexicon that guides the interpretation and translation of each predicator occurrence in its grammatical contexts.

Hermeneutics, Linguistics, and the Bible

The Importance of Context

Stanley E. Porter, McMaster Divinity College, Canada

The volume presents Stanley E. Porter's considered thoughts and reflections on key questions of meaning and context, addressing the problems of biblical interpretation and how a close collaboration between hermeneutics and linguistics can help to solve them. Porter focuses on context for understanding the meanings of biblical texts, suggesting that linguists can learn more from the philosophical questions around meaning that hermeneuts apply in their study of biblical texts, and that there is more fruitful work to be done in the field of hermeneutics using insights from linguistics.

Commentary on the Levi, Qahat, and Amram Qumran Aramaic Traditions

Andrew B. Perrin, Athabasca University, Canada

In this study of the Aramaic materials at Qumran, Andrew B. Perrin examines the Aramaic Levi Document, Words of Qahat, and Visions of Amram, showing how they exhibit a concentration of priestly concerns and knowledge and exploring new models for evaluating their potential textual or traditional connections. Perrin includes a comprehensive commentary on the conceptual elements, codicological features, and cultural contexts of the materials. He concludes with fresh analysis of the textual composition of these priestly pseudepigrapha, suggesting they are a “constellation” of texts developed within a larger world of scribal-priestly activity and traditions.

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 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.

Art and Creativity in an Era of Ecocide

Embodiment, Performance and Practice

Edited by Anna Pigott, Swansea University, UK, Owain Jones, Bath Spa University, UK & Ben Parry, Bath Spa University, UK

What can creativity achieve in an era of ecocide? Is it appropriate for creative and artistic practices to engage with the destruction of the biosphere? Is resistance and regeneration even possible in the face of escalating global environmental crises? Bringing together accounts of how artists and scholars are creatively responding to ecocide, this book re-evaluates the relationships between creativity, ecological crisis and political change. It highlights the growth of alternative approaches across the arts and within society, and develops an original conception of creativity as an antiecocide endeavour by using examples from conventional art settings and daily life.

Duchamp Accelerated Contemporary Perspectives

Edited by Julian Jason Haladyn

Written in the specific context of the 21st century, this bold new book pushes our understanding of Marcel Duchamp beyond the limits of existing criticism. Individual chapters present innovative ideas and use novel approaches to accelerate the histories, dialogues, visions and materialisms that define Duchamp's practice. By relating his art to a multitude of disciplinary and cultural perspectives, Duchamp Accelerated: Contemporary Perspectives not only sheds light on the cultural and political histories of his artistry, but shows how his work informs developments in the worlds of art and material culture even today.

Dialogues with Degas Influence and Antagonism in Contemporary Art

Kathryn Brown, Loughborough University, UK

Responding to the current trend of relating historical art and themes to the contemporary period, this exciting book highlights the ongoing relevance of Edgar Degas to 20th- and 21st-century ideas and art practices. The first in-depth examination of his impact on contemporary art, Dialogues with Degas charts how modern practitioners have used Degas’s creativity as a springboard to engage imaginatively with themes of colonialism, gender, race and class. It overturns familiar conceptions of influence by shedding new light on Degas’s art and that of his interlocutors; chapters focus on different dialogues between Degas’s painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and art produced since the 1980s which either explicitly developed Degas’s technical and compositional experiments or challenged them.

Humor in Global Contemporary Art

Edited by Mette Gieskes, Radboud University, The Netherlands & Gregory H. Williams, Boston University, USA

The first book to thoroughly examine the role of culture-specific and transcultural humor in contemporary art from a global perspective, Humor in Contemporary Art pursues a new line of research in world art studies. Featuring a range of contributions from scholars based at European, North American, Asian and Australasian institutions, the volume examines the degree to which the humor in art created in the past five decades is culture-bound, as well as the tensions that arise when humorous artworks that are made in a particular socio-cultural context are viewed in another cultural environment.

Prehistoric Pictures and American Modernism

Abstract Art at MoMA 1937-1939

Elke Seibert, Independent Scholar, France

This book illuminates an, until now, disregarded aspect of American art history: the influence of prehistoric rock paintings exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in 1937 on members of the New York School, such as Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Stuart Davis, John Graham, Josef Albers, and The American Abstracts Artists group. The exhibition functioned as a catalyst for the reception of archaic art in North America, and Prehistoric Pictures and American Modernism demonstrates that contemporary debates about the modernity of prehistoric art form part of the discourse on ‘Primitivism.’

Improvision

Orphic Art in the Age of Jazz

Simon Shaw-Miller, University of Bristol, UK Central to the development of abstract art, in the early decades of the 20th century was the conception (most famously articulated by Walter Pater) that the most appropriate paradigm for nonfigurative art was music. The assumption has always been that this model was most effectively understood as Western music (classical music). However, the musical form that was abstract art’s true twin is jazz, a music that originated with African Americans, but which had a profound impact on European artistic sensibilities. This book theorizes the affinities and connections between, and across, two seemingly diverse cultural phenomena, offering a truly interdisciplinary study.

Offering substantial new research and presenting numerous primary sources to an English readership for the first time, the book examines Dix’s war pictures within the broader visual culture of war in order to assess how they functioned alternatively as cutting-edge modernist art and transgressive war commemoration.

By focusing on the neglected intersection of posthumanism and the home from a feminist, care-oriented perspective, this book recovers a plethora of overlooked, sophisticated human-technology mediations and challenges dominant, contemporary visions of future humanity. Chapters explore a range of familiar domestic objects, spaces and practices, revivifying the home as a site of species transformation and highlighting a range of mediated materialisms and embodiments affiliated with domestic space. This book widens the lens of critical focus in posthumanism, feminist philosophy and design and presents an alternative, inclusive design framework for the future.

Gay Men's Style

Fashion, Dress and Sexuality in the 21st Century

Shaun Cole, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK

Gay male identities in the 21st century are increasingly intersectional, fluid and flexible, from hyper-masculinity and muscularity seen in clubs and on the pages of gay magazines to self-knowing drag culture and androgynous gender play in the fashion industry. Gay Men’s Style explores these multiple identities and the ways in which gay men self-identify and present themselves to the world through dress. This analysis is set alongside seismic shifts in technology, global communication and gay rights to redress and readdress the subject of gay men’s style in a time of social and sexual upheaval.

Susan E. Hiner, Vassar College, USA

Behind the Seams examines the women—both working- and middle-class—who were key to shaping the fashion economy in 19th-century France while remaining largely out of sight. Rather than repeating the familiar narrative of women as victims of fashion, this book uncovers productive women workers, writers, and artists who achieved both agency and influence within a system that was undeniably oppressive. Although these women’s work and lives were masked by popular mythologizing, anonymity, and marginalization, Hiner’s close examination reveals how they developed sophisticated strategies for achieving active livings careers.

The Modern Venus Dress, Underwear and Accessories in the late 18th-Century Atlantic World

Elisabeth Gernerd

The Modern Venus highlights the significance of underwear and accessories in 1770s and 1780s British fashion, when fashionable dress expanded to new heights and volumes. Dissecting the female silhouette into regions of the body, the book focuses on five types of dress: headwear, cork rumps and bums, muffs, handkerchiefs, and stays. It establishes these garments as highly charged artefacts that functioned and flourished within 18th-century society. Though categorized as peripheral and supplementary, underwear and accessories acted as potent players within a woman’s wardrobe, not only creating her shape, but expressing her character, sociability, fashionability and political allegiances.

Interpreting British Clothing Since 1600

Edited by Bethan Bide, Jade Halbert, University of Leeds, UK & Liz Tregenza, London College of Fashion, UK

Ordinary clothes have extraordinary stories. In contrast to academic and curatorial focus on the spectacular and the luxurious, Everyday Fashion makes the case that your grandmother’s wardrobe is an archive as interesting and important as any museum store. Beginning at 1550, individual chapters explore the definition of everyday fashion and how this has changed over time, and object biographies showcase the rich diversity of everyday fashion in British museum collections. In scratching below the glossy surface of fashion, the book challenges readers to rethink how fashion systems evolved and reassess the boundaries between fashion and dress scholarship.

Fashion in Altermodern China

Feng Jie, Southwest University of China, China

Fashion in Altermodern China examines key features and particularities of women’s fashion within the cultural and political context of contemporary China. While demonstrating that global brands and styles heavily influence Chinese consumer trends, it equally argues that the Chinese fashion ‘system’ is formed of its own internal logics and emergent trends. For women in contemporary China, the flux of available fashions is experienced in a more open neutral manner than is typically described in current scholarship; and through incorporating both Western and Asian philosophies, this book reveals new ways to understand how women engage in fashion in China today.

Regional Dress Between Tradition and Modernity

Sara Hume, Kent State University Museum, USA

Through a rich variety of primary sources including costumes, illustrations, political cartoons, legal documents and oral histories, Regional Dress sheds light on the little known and rarely documented experiences of rural Europeans. Using Alsace as a case study, it looks at how traditional dress evolved in France and Germany from the 19th to 21st centuries, revealing how modernity did not drive out tradition in rural communities but rather led to processes of adaption, preservation and re-evaluation. Its material culture approach to the study of regionalism is essential to students of traditional and folk dress history, European history and design history.

Fashioning the Afropolis Histories, Materialities and Aesthetic Practices

Edited by Kerstin Pinther, Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany, Kristin Kastner, Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany & Basile Ndjio, University of Douala, Central Africa

Fashioning the Afropolis provides a range of innovative perspectives on global fashion, design, dress, photography, and the body in some of the major cities in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on Lagos, Johannesburg, Dakar, and Douala. 'Fashion' and 'city' have not been systematically related to each other in the African context and, for too long, a western-centric gaze has dominated scholarship, resulting in the perception of Africa as provincial and its visual arts and textile cultures as static and folkloristic. Leading scholars offer an updated foundation on which to base new, exciting research on sub-Saharan fashion, challenging perceptions and offering new insights.

Joanne B. Eicher, The University of Minnesota, US & Sandra Lee Evenson

The 50th anniversary edition of The Visible Self explores the daily act of dress in cultures around the world, using the word “dress” to emphasize the wide variety of behaviors connected to the act of getting dressed. The Visible Self makes sense of humans as biological, social, and aesthetic creatures based on cross-disciplinary concepts and examples. The Visible Self explores the global mash-up of fashion, dress, culture, production, and sustainability, including life in a post-pandemic world. Using dress as a lens, we offer a powerful understanding of the way we look and how we look at others.

In Private

Joanne Turney, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK

In Private offers a cultural history of domestic interior design in Britain and America over the course of the 1970s, a decade that shaped the contemporary relationship between fashion and interiors. With each chapter dedicated to a different room in the house, this collection explores style, design and sociocultural influence from the sitting room to the sauna, and from the kitchen to the conservatory. Demonstrating how the sociocultural environment of the 1970s sparked the ideas, styles and practices that have become common currency in today’s interior design, the book examines questions of sensuality, tactility, fashion, fantasy and gender.

Needlework, Affect and Social Transformation

The Everyday Textures of Feminist Activism

Katja May

Needlework, Affect and Social Transformation offers a new approach to the interpretation of quilting, dressmaking, embroidery and knitting that looks at it as an affective social practice, drawing on under-represented issues of race. Transnational, contemporary case studies – such as the Bangladeshi garment workers and the Social Justice Sewing Academy, alongside the famous Pussyhat Project – conceptualize needlework as routine activities invested with emotion and entangled with material and social conditions, highlighting the complexities of its political potential.
