PHILOSOPHY AND LITERARY STUDIES

Anarchafeminism Chiara Bottici The first introduction to anarchafeminism, setting out a manifesto that proposes how it might actually work in contemporary society. Chiara Bottici argues that feminism needs anarchism and anarchism needs feminism. Radical political movements do not exist in isolation from each other. The fight for freedom and equality needs to operate on more than one connected plane. Anarchafeminism attempts to incorporate the strategems from both feminist and anarchist theories, approaches and grassroots activism to formulate a specific anarchafeminist approach adapted to the challenges of our times. Adopting a global perspective, with examples and theories from around the world, the book introduces key thinkers and ideas, setting out a manifesto that proposes a practical way ahead for a new, more anarchafeminist society. Chiara Bottici is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, USA.

The Future is Feminine

Capitalism and the Masculine Disorder

Ciara Cremin An examination of how the patriarchy and toxic masculinity can be challenged by adopting traditionally feminine objects and mannerisms. Cremin illustrates that masculinity is a general disorder of a capitalist society that depends and even thrives upon its very symptoms. From the perspective of a trans woman raised to be a man, the book maps the disorder and speculates on the possible means to overcome it. Drawing on theorists such as Marx and Freud, Cremin demonstrates why there can be no future other than one in which we are all reconciled as a society with the feminine. In such a future, the terms ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ will neither define us nor determine our relationship to one another. Ciara Cremin lectures in sociology and leads the Gender Studies programme at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

#MeToo and Literary Studies

Reading, Writing, and Teaching about Sexual Violence and Rape Culture

Edited by Mary K. Holland and Heather Hewett The first book to consider how literary scholars and teachers can bring the energy of the #MeToo movement into their work, and use their work to amplify and inform the cultural impact of #MeToo. This collection of essays on literature, from Ovid to Carmen Maria Machado offers clear ways of using our reading, teaching, and critical practices to address rape culture and sexual violence. It examines the promise and limitations of the #MeToo movement itself, speaking to the productive use of social media as well as to the voices that the movement has so far muted. In uniting diverse voices to enable the #MeToo movement to reshape literary studies, this book is committed to the idea that the way we read and write about literature can make real change in the world. Mary K. Holland is Professor of English at The State University of New York at New Paltz, USA. Heather Hewett is Associate Professor and Chair of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and an affiliate of the English Department at The State University of New York at New Paltz, USA.

Notes from the Crawl Room A Collection of Philosophical Horrors

A.M. Moskovitz A striking collection of interconnected stories that use horror to critique the absurdities of philosophy. A.M. Moskovitz employs the lens and methods of horror writing to critique the excesses and absurdities of philosophy.

Why Did the Logician Cross the Road? Finding Humor in Logical Reasoning

Stan Baronett How humor can help us understand logic, and logic can help us understand humor.

September 2021 • 136 pages 216 x 138mm • 9781350178915 Bloomsbury Academic

Combining jokes, stories, and ironic situations, Stan Baronett shows how it is possible to ground the formal, symbolic language of logic in everyday experience. Each chapter introduces a basic logical reasoning concept based on happenings in daily life, and ideas are explained by demonstrating how an effective joke may rely on an unanticipated assumption that leads to an unexpected result. Baronett aids understanding of basic causal reasoning and provides light relief for anyone daunted by the complex world of logic. Stan Baronett is Lecturer in the Philosophy Department and Honors College at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA.

This is a journey in thinking through the material fate of the earth itself.

Socrates On Trial Nigel Tubbs A lively and politicised reworking of Plato's Republic for the contemporary world. Nigel Tubbs tells of Socrates’ return to a modern city, where he finds contemporary society at war with itself. He questions this city, and the city arrests him. Facing trial he sets out his new vision for a just society. His challenge to us, and to the jury that will once again decide his fate, remains the same as before: the unexamined life is still not worth living. Nigel Tubbs is Professor of Philosophical and Educational Thought, University of Winchester, UK. October 2021 • 320 pages 216 x 138mm • 9781350053717 Bloomsbury Academic

Sticker Henry Hoke A memoir in 20 stickers that explores the intangible nature of identity, with each sticker acting as a talisman of a wider personal and social history. Stickers adorn our first memories, dot our notebooks and our walls, are stuck annoyingly on fruit, and accompany us into adulthood to shout our perspectives from car bumpers. They hold surprising power in their ability to define and provoke, and hold a strange steadfast presence in our age of fading physical media. Henry Hoke employs a constellation of stickers to explore queer boyhood, parental disability, and ancestral violence. Henry Hoke is the author of The Groundhog Forever (2021), the story collection Genevieves (2017), and The Book of Endless Sleepovers (2016).

Hyphen Pardis Mahdavi A history of a humble grammatical marker, that explores the evolution of the hyphen as well as the powerful role it has come to play in identity and sexual politics. To hyphenate or not to hyphenate has been a central point of controversy since before the imprinting of the first Gutenberg Bible. Following the history of the hyphen from antiquity to the present, Pardis Mahdavi explores how it evolved orthographically, and typographically as well as the politics of the hyphen itself. Hyphen is ultimately a compelling story about the intertwining of language and identity. Pardis Mahdavi is Dean of Social Sciences in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University, USA.

October 2021 • 240 pages 198 x 129mm • 9781350263956 Bloomsbury Academic Series: Theory in the New Humanities

Bringing together phenomenology and materialism, two perspectives seemingly at odds with each other, Manuel DeLanda has created an entirely new theory of visuality. Engaging the scientific (biology, ecological psychology, neuroscience and robotics), the philosophical (idea of 'the embodied mind') and the mathematical (dynamic systems theory), DeLanda forms a synthesis of how to see in the 21st century. This is a transdisciplinary and rigorous analysis of how vision shapes what matters. Manuel Delanda is Professor at the European Graduate School and Visiting Professor at the School of Architecture at Princeton University, USA.

Capitalism and the Limits of Desire John Roberts A radical treatise exploring how loving oneself has been collapsed into loving capitalism, offering a hopeful, emancipatory message. Why does capitalism seem to be so insurmountable? John Roberts poses that it is because we love capitalism more than we love ourselves. He contends that understanding the insidious nature of capitalist thinking is the starting point to disentangling ourselves from it. Using Marx, Lacan and Spinoza as his guides, Roberts lays out a way for individuals to move forward and forge a sense of self outside the oppressive demands of platform capitalism.

POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Undoing Privilege

Unearned Advantage in a Divided World

Professor Bob Pease An essential book for all who are concerned about developing theories and practices for a socially just world. Privilege, as the other side of oppression, has been given insufficient attention in both critical theories and the practices of social change and as a result, dominant groups have been allowed to reinforce their privilege, as demonstrated in this new edition. Undoing Privilege explores the main sites of privilege, from Western dominance, class elitism, and white and patriarchal privilege to the less-examined sites of heterosexual and able-bodied privilege. Bob Pease points out that while the vast majority of people may be oppressed on one level, many are also privileged on another. He also demonstrates how members of privileged groups can engage critically with their own dominant position, and explores the potential and limitations of them becoming allies against oppression and their own unearned privilege. Bob Pease is Chair of Social Work in the School of Health and Social Development at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia.

Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars The Politics of Sex

Finn Mackay A contextualization of contemporary feminist fractures, toxic masculinity, and trans movements, through a specific focus on lesbian masculinity. Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars provides important theoretical background and context to the ‘gender wars’ or ‘TERF wars’ – the violent feminist fracture at the forefront of the LGBTQ international conversation. Using queer and female masculinities as a lens, Finn Mackay investigates the current generational shift that is refusing the previous assumed fixity of sex, gender and sexual identity. Uniquely, she approaches this debate through the context of female masculinity, butch and transmasculine lesbian masculinities. An increasingly important topic in political science and sociological academia, this book breaks new ground in the discussion of the politics of gender and identity. Finn Mackay is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of the West of England, and founded the London Feminist Network in 2004.

Uncontrollable Women

Radicals, Reformers and Revolutionaries

Nan Sloane Uses inspirational, individual stories of female political pioneers from the 1800's to explore the period in which women began to enter the public space to seek change. Uncontrollable Women is a history of radical, reformist and revolutionary women between the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and the passing of the Great Reform Act in 1832. Nan Sloane illuminates a time when the first demands were made for female suffrage, when women began to organise on their own account, and when working-class women and men began to assert their collective presence and voice. She shows how these women and many others played a part in developing political ideas and freedoms as we know them today, and the vital battles they fought which are still ongoing. Nan Sloane is an author, speaker and trainer with an interest in the role of women in the public space, particularly in politics and the Labour Party.

Ireland and the Magdalene Laundries A Campaign for Justice

Katherine O’Donnell, Claire McGettrick, James M. Smith, Maeve O'Rourke and Mari Steed Edited by Claire McGettrick, Katherine O’Donnell, Maeve O'Rourke, James M. Smith and Mari Steed An important account of the development of the campaign for social justice around the Magdalene laundries in the Republic of Ireland. Using the Irish State’s own report into the Magdalene institutions, as well as testimonies from survivors and independent witnesses, this book gives a detailed account of life behind the high walls of Ireland’s Magdalene institutions. It offers an overview of the social, cultural and political contexts of institutional survivor activism, the Irish State’s response culminating in the The Ryan Report, and the formation of the Justice for Magdalenes campaign, a volunteer-run survivor advocacy group. The result is a damning assessment of how the Irish State continues to evade its responsibilities, not merely to survivors of the Magdalenes but also in providing a truthful account of what happened.

Speak Not

Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language

James Griffiths A personal and engaging account of how we can stop the race towards the extinction of linguistic diversity. As globalisation continues, languages are disappearing faster than ever, leaving our planet’s linguistic diversity leaping towards extinction. It is increasingly challenging for minority languages to survive in the face of a handful of hegemonic ‘super-tongues’. James Griffiths reports from the frontlines of the battle to preserve minority languages, from his native Wales, Hawaii and indigenous American nations, to southern China and Hong Kong. He explores the revival of the Welsh language as a blueprint for how to ensure new generations are not robbed of their linguistic heritage, outlines how loss of indigenous languages is the direct result of colonialism and globalisation, and examines how technology is both hindering and aiding the fight to prevent linguistic extinction.

What is the Economy? And Why it Matters to You

Joe Richards and Beth Leslie An explanation of key concepts in economics in terms of the individual and everyday life. What exactly is the economy anyway? Economists and politicians would have you believe it is a rarefied topic best left to ‘the experts’. This book uncovers what people really mean when they talk about ‘the economy’, taking the word off its pedestal and showing that it is just a lens for seeing the world around us. That, at its heart, economics is about you, and the society you are a part of. Explaining key concepts in economics in relation to how they directly affect your life – from your money to your home, your workplace to your future – What is the Economy? drags the obscure world of economics kicking and screaming towards the everyday and equips you with clarity and understanding.

Veganism

Politics, Practice, and Theory

Eva Haifa Giraud A lively overview of the tensions surrounding veganism that makes an original contribution to these debates in relation to other social justice issues. What exactly do vegans believe? Why has veganism become such a critical and criticised social movement, and how does it correspond to wider debates about the environment and sustainability, animal studies and the media? Eva Haifa Giraud offers an accessible route into the debates that surround vegan politics, which feed into broader issues surrounding food activism and ethical consumption. Drawing on a range of examples, from recipe books with punk aesthetics to social media campaigns, Giraud shows how veganism's radical potential is being complicated by its commercialization, and elucidates new conceptual frameworks for reclaiming veganism as a radical social movement. Eva Haifa Giraud is Senior Lecturer in Media at Keele University, UK.

Whatever Happened to Tradition? History, Belonging and the Future of the West

Tim Stanley This hard-hitting book explains why people need to commune with tradition and why they should embrace it. Civilisations go wrong: they change too fast, too far and throw out the good with the bad. This book examines what we have lost and how we can rediscover it. Focusing on utility and beauty, Stanley shows that traditions – ritual, hierarchy, codes of behaviour, the concept of sanctity – were once preserved because they were useful. Traditions are also beautiful because they enhance life and make it worth living. Drawing on a rich trove of examples from history, literature, art and architecture, Stanley demonstrates how traditions add colour and identity, tying us into our past and evoking sacred mysteries that exist beyond ourselves. Tim Stanley is a historian and journalist with a growing profile as a political commentator.

The Last Witches of England A Tragedy of Sorcery and Superstition

John Callow Uncovers the forgotten history of the Bideford Witches, the last group of women in England executed for witchcraft, and charts changing attitudes towards them over time, from revulsion to celebration. On 29 June 1682, a magpie came tapping at the window of a Devon merchant. Frightened by its appearance, the family convinced themselves that the bird was an emissary of the devil sent by witches to destroy the fabric of their lives.

Vivian Boland stresses the social, embodied character of Catholicism, crucial for understanding its particular form as well as what it offers to contemporary social and political challenges.

MUSIC AND SOUND STUDIES

Duran Duran's Rio

Roxy Music's Avalon

Annie Zaleski

Simon Morrison

In the '80s, Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-upand-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. Via extensive new interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.

Having designed Roxy Music as an haute couture suit hand-stitched of punk and progressive music, Bryan Ferry redesigned it. He made Roxy Music ever dreamier and mellower—reaching back to sadly beautiful chivalric romances. The production and engineering imposed on Avalon confiscates emotion and replaces it with an acoustic simulacrum of courtliness, polished manners, and codes of etiquette. The seducer sings seductive music about seduction, but decorum is retained, as amour courtois insists. The backbeat cannot beat back nostalgia; it remains part of the architecture of Avalon, an album that creates an allusive sheen.

Sam Cooke’s Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963

Janelle Monáe’s The ArchAndroid

Maria Callas's Lyric and Coloratura Arias

Colin Fleming

Alyssa Favreau

Ginger Dellenbaugh

Covering Sam Cooke's days with the Soul Stirrers, the gospel unit that was inventing a strand of soul in the 1950s, this book continues on to his string of hit singles as a solo artist that reveal far more about this complex man. As a writer and an agent of social change, the differences between Cooke’s true identity and what various factions of his audience wanted from him, he came to reconcile so many disparate elements on a stage in Miami that extended well into the future, beyond Cooke’s own life, beyond the 1960s, and into a perpetual here-and-now.

In Janelle Monáe’s full-length debut, the science fiction concept album The ArchAndroid, the android Cindi Mayweather is on the run from the authorities for the crime of loving a human. Taking into account the literary merit of Monáe’s astounding multimedia body of work, the political relevance of the science fictional themes and aesthetics she explores, and her role as an Atlanta-based pop cultural juggernaut, this book explores the lavish world building of Cindi’s story, and the many literary, cinematic, and musical influences brought together to create it.

Much has been written about Callas's sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her clashes with other artists, affair with billionaire playboy Aristotle Onassis, to her tragic death in 1977. And yet, the fascination with Callas's biography tends to overshadow her most seemingly superhuman qualities – her astounding voice and masterful technique. Using one of Callas’s first recital recordings from 1954 as a foundation, this book envisions each song, each aria, as a lens to examine phenomena as diverse as the operatic screaming point, feminism and the voice, and music and violence.

Duck Soup

Trouble in Paradise

Trainspotting

J. Hoberman

David Weir

Murray Smith

J. Hoberman traces Duck Soup (1933)’s reputation, from the initial disappointment of its release, to its rise to cult status in the 1960s when the Marx’s anarchic, antiestablishment humor seemed, again, timely. Placing the film in its cinematic context, alongside analogous comedies, this analysis provides a historical and political context as well as an in-depth production history.

David Weir provides an in-depth analysis of Ernst Lubitsch’s Trouble in Paradise (1932), exploring its significance to cultural and cinematic history. He also explores the other films in Lubitsch’s career that led to the making of Trouble in Paradise, the larger context in which he was directing, the development of his technique and the emergence of the 'Classic Hollywood Style'.

Brilliantly and aggressively marketed, Danny Boyle's 1996 adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting crossed into the mainstream despite being a black comedy set against the backdrop of heroin addiction in Edinburgh. The film is crucial for understanding British culture in the context of devolution and the rise of ‘Cool Britannia’. In his afterword to this new edition, Murray Smith reflects on the original film 25 years after its release, and its 2017 sequel T2: Trainspotting Smith also considers Boyle's subsequent directorial career.

The Thing Anne Billson In her study of John Carpenter's 1982 cult horror movie The Thing, Anne Billson argues that the film brilliantly refines the conventions of classic horror and science fiction, combining them with humour, Lewis Carroll logic, strong characterisation and prescient insight. The idea of an alien species mutating and inhabiting humans resonates all too chillingly with the Covid-19 pandemic and other zoonotic diseases caused by human encroachment on natural habitats.

Analysing the performance of Delphine Seyrig in the title role, the film's unique representation of domestic space and the materiality of women's time, Fowler illuminates why the film is seen as a significant precursor for what came to be known as 'Slow Cinema' and why it continues to be seen as a landmark of feminist film-making.

The Silence of the Lambs

Blue Velvet

I Know Where I'm Going!

Michael Atkinson

Pam Cook

Yvonne Tasker

Michael Atkinson’s intricate reading of David Lynch's 1986 Blue Velvet shows how the film crystallises many of Lynch’s chief preoccupations: the evil and violence underlying the surface of suburbia, the seedy byways of sexuality and the frightening appearance of the adult world to a child's eyes. Atkinson situates Blue Velvet within a culture that has changed drastically in the 35 years since its release, considering the film's lasting significance as it slowly turns from contemporary phenomenon to an interpretable artefact.

I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) is widely regarded as one of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's most remarkable achievements and a cinematic tour de force. Pam Cook traces the film's production history, exploring its place in Powell and Pressburger's canon and showing how it wove into its narrative the memories and aspirations of an international group of film-makers working in 1940s Britain.

Yvonne Tasker explores the way Demme's The Silence of the Lambs (1990) weaves together gothic, horror and thriller conventions to generate both a distinctive variation on the cinematic portrayal of insanity and crime, and a fascinating intervention in the sexual politics of genre. She identifies the film as a key reference-point for tracking the '90s obsession with police procedure and serial killing, analysing its themes of reason and madness, identity and belonging, aspiration and transformation.

Digital Souls

Prophetic Culture

A Philosophy of Online Death

Recreation For Adolescents

Patrick Stokes

Federico Campagna

Drawing on ongoing philosophical debates, Digital Souls examines how we manage the digital afterlife of dead people and what their online presence tells us about grief, identity, the moral implications of digital legacies and the threat that modern technology poses to the dead.

How are we to face the challenge of leaving a fertile cultural legacy to those who will come after the end of our future? How can we help the creation of new worlds out of the ruins of our own? Federico Campagna explores the twilight of our contemporary notion of reality, and the fading of the cosmological story that belonged to the civilisation of Westernised Modernity.

Popular Pleasures

An Introduction to the Aesthetics of Popular Visual Culture

Paul Duncum A unique approach to analysing popular visual culture, showing that its aesthetic pleasures are perennial in nature and an intrinsic part of what it is to be human. Sentimental, violent, vulgar, spectacular, humorous… Paul Duncum considers the historical, critical discourses; the lures; and socio-political issues raised by the aesthetic pleasures in 15 individually dedicated chapters. The elite discourse of condemning popular culture on the grounds of taste, as derived from the fine arts, is rejected; and much of premodern fine art is revisioned as offering the same aesthetic pleasures as today’s popular visual culture. Paul Duncum is Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, USA, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He is the author of Picture Pedagogy (Bloomsbury, 2020).

From domestic appliances like Siri and Amazon Echo, to large scale Facebook manipulation and Google search prediction, digital interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life and their influences affect how people live, feel and behave. As they grow in complexity and increase integration into our lives we need to address the social, ethical, political and aesthetic responsibilities of those designing and creating the computer systems all around us.
