Dear Readers,

As we face a pandemic that has disrupted education, research, publishing, and society worldwide, we find that the mission of the university press is more crucial than ever. This season’s titles remind us of the importance of deep thought and intellectual community during and after the crisis. In search of ways to manage uncertainty and complexity, Columbia’s Ruth DeFries asks What Would Nature Do? (p. 1)— a timely question that has become only timelier as we seek survival strategies for the coronavirus age. She shows that we cannot turn our back on global interconnectedness but must learn how to embrace it anew.

For those who need some diversion from our current predicament, I suggest Thomas Doherty on the original true crime story, Little Lindy Is Kidnapped (p. 3), tasting The Terroir of Whiskey (p. 2), or literature in translation from Japanese, Russian, or Mongolian (pp. 21-23).

We are proud to announce the launch of three new series that speak to the future of our publishing program by showing the value of breaking down boundaries. Rereadings (pp. 4-5) offers critics and scholars the opportunity to return to formative works with a new eye, speaking to the wider community of readers about the place that books hold in our lives. In No Limits (pp. 6-7), philosophers and leading thinkers ruminate on big topics, unconstrained by conventional categories. Society and the Environment (p. 73) considers the linkages between social and natural worlds, which, as epidemics and climate change show, cannot be cordoned off. To publish these books, we are fortunate to have the support of a whole ecosystem, from the Columbia University community through printers and distributors, booksellers of all shapes and sizes, and, most vitally, our readers. As we admire and join the creative ways that the literary world has maintained a sense of unity despite isolation, we look forward to a time when we can be together again—in bookstores, at readings, around the seminar table, and all the other ways we celebrate these groundbreaking books. Thank you for being a part of the university press community. Jennifer Crewe Associate Provost and Director

What Would Nature Do? A Guide for Our Uncertain Times RUTH D e FRIES STRAT EGIES F R OM N AT U R E FO R S U RV I V I N G TODAY ’S COM P L EXIT I E S

Not long ago, the future seemed predictable. Now, certainty about the course of civilization has given way to fear and doubt. Raging fires, ravaging storms, political upheavals, financial collapse, and deadly pandemics lie ahead—or are already here. The world feels less comprehensible and more dangerous, and no one, from individuals to businesses and governments, knows how to navigate the path forward.

Ruth DeFries argues that a surprising set of timetested strategies from the natural world can help humanity weather these crises. Through trial and error over the eons, life has evolved astonishing and counterintuitive tricks in order to survive. DeFries details how a handful of fundamental strategies— investments in diversity, redundancy over efficiency, self-correcting feedbacks, and decisions based on bottom-up knowledge—enable life to persist through unpredictable, sudden shocks. Lessons for supply chains from a leaf ’s intricate network of veins and stock-market-saving “circuit breakers” patterned on planetary cycles reveal the power of these approaches for modern times. With humility and willingness to apply nature’s experience to our human-constructed world, DeFries demonstrates, we can withstand uncertain and perilous times. Exploring the lessons that life on Earth can teach us about coping with complexity, What Would Nature Do? offers timely options for civilization to reorganize for a safe and prosperous future. RUTH D e FRIES

“DeFries has an unparalleled ability to think deeply about major societal trends and to distill the dynamics that explain these patterns. Each chapter is exquisitely written and illustrated by many interrelated examples, ranging from historical events from ancient times to current unsolved dilemmas faced by society.” —F.

The Terroir of Whiskey

A Distiller’s Journey Into the Flavor of Place ROB ARNOLD T H E I MP O RTA N C E O F P LAC E I N C REATI N G THE TASTE O F W HI SK EY

Turn over a bottle of wine and you may well see a reference to its terroir, the total local environment of the vineyard that grew the grapes, from its soil to the climate. Winemakers universally accept that where a grape is grown influences its chemistry, which changes the flavor of the wine. A detailed system has codified the idea that where the grapes are grown matters to the wine. But why don’t we feel the same way about whiskey?

The master distiller Rob Arnold reveals how innovative whiskey producers are recapturing a sense of place to create distinctive, nuanced flavors. He takes readers on a world tour of whiskey and the science of flavor, stopping along the way at distilleries in Kentucky, New York, Texas, Ireland, and Scotland. Arnold puts the spotlight on a new generation of distillers, plant breeders, and local farmers who are bringing back long-forgotten grain flavors and creating new ones in pursuit of terroir. In the twentieth century, we inadvertently bred distinctive tastes out of grains in favor of high agronomic yields—but today’s artisans have teamed up to remove themselves from the commodity grain system, resurrect heirloom cereals, bring new varieties to life, and recapture the flavors of specific local ingredients. The Terroir of Whiskey makes the scientific and cultural cases that terroir is as important in whiskey as it is in wine.

“Arnold’s book is a compelling personal account of his ambition to answer the question of what terroir actually is. For the distilling world to take this idea seriously, there must be a push, and this book may well be that push.” —Dawn Maskell, director of the International Centre for Brewing and Distilling

Little Lindy Is Kidnapped

How the Media Covered the Crime of the Century THOMAS DOHERTY

RE VIS IT ING T H E C ULT U R A L A N D M E D I A H I STO RY OF A N ICONIC T R UE C R I M E STO RY

The biggest crime story in American history began on March 1, 1932, when the twenty-month-old child of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was snatched from his crib in Hopewell, New Jersey. The news shocked a nation enamored of the famous aviator, the first to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic. Virtually every police officer in the area was dispatched to return “Little Lindy” to the arms of his parents—and perhaps even more energized were the legions of journalists catering to a public whose appetite for Lindbergh news was insatiable.

Thomas Doherty offers a lively and comprehensive cultural history of the media coverage of the abduction and its aftermath. Beginning with Lindbergh’s ascent to fame and proceeding through the trial and execution of the accused perpetrator, Doherty traces how newspapers, radio, and newsreels reported on what was dubbed the “crime of the century.” He casts the kidnapping as a transformative moment for American journalism, analyzing how the case presented new challenges and opportunities for each branch of the media in the days before the rise of television. Coverage of the Lindbergh story, Doherty reveals, set the script for the way the media would treat breaking news for decades to come. An engrossing account of one of American history’s most breathlessly covered cases, Little Lindy Is Kidnapped sheds new light on an enduring quality of journalism ever since: the media’s eye on a crucial part of the story—itself.

THOMAS DOHERTY

“Little Lindy Is Kidnapped is a spellbinding rollercoaster of a read. It adds significantly to our understanding of how commercial media developed in the United States, exploring the roles of technological change, cultural imperatives, petty rivalries, coincidence, capitalism, and the things we most fear.” —Kathryn Fuller-Seeley, author of Jack Benny and the Golden Age of American Radio Comedy

Vineland Reread PETER COVIELLO

R E R E ADI N G PYN C HO N ’ S LEAST- K N OWN N OVEL TO FI N D CO M PA N I O N SHI P A N D J OYO USN ESS

Vineland is hardly anyone’s favorite Thomas Pynchon novel. Marking Pynchon’s return after vanishing for nearly two decades following his epic Gravity’s Rainbow, it was initially regarded as slight, a middling curiosity. However, for Peter Coviello, the oft-overlooked Vineland opens up new ways of thinking about Pynchon’s writing and about how we read and how we live in the rough currents of history. Beginning with his early besotted encounters with Vineland, Coviello reads Pynchon’s offbeat novel of sixties insurgents stranded in the Reaganite summer of 1984 as a delirious stoner comedy that is simultaneously a work of heartsick fury and political grief: a portrait of the hard afterlives of failed revolution in a period of stifling reaction. Offering a roving meditation on the uses of criticism and the practice of friendship, the fashioning of publics and counterpublics, the sentence and the police, Coviello argues that Vineland is among the most abundant and far-sighted of late-century American excursions into novelistic possibility. Departing from visions of Pynchon as the arch-postmodernist, erudite and obscure, he discloses an author far more companionable and humane. In Pynchon’s harmonizing of joyousness and outrage, comedy and sorrow, Coviello finds a model for thinking through our catastrophic present.

“Vineland Reread is a delight. Peter Coviello tells a sweet and joyous story about how to read and reread a treasured book, about how reading is an act that makes meaning, and about how that meaning anchors our lives. This is the rare work that will please everyone with gorgeous sentences that sparkle generously as they both describe and perform the best of what criticism is and can be.” —Jordan Alexander Stein, author of When Novels Were Books

A Visit from the Goon Squad Reread IVAN KREILKAMP

RE READ ING J ENNIF E R E G A N TO R E CO N S I D E R T H E FATE OF T H E NOV EL

Jennifer Egan described her Pulitzer Prize–winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad as a combination of Proust and The Sopranos. In rereading the book, Ivan Kreilkamp takes Egan up on her comparison, showing how it blends a concern with the status of the novel in the twenty-first century with an elegiac meditation on how we experience the passage of time.

Kreilkamp, a former music critic, examines how Egan’s characters turn to rock and especially punk in search of community and meaning. He considers what the novel’s portrayal of music says about the role of art in contemporary culture as digitization makes older technologies obsolete. Combining personal and critical reflection, he reveals how A Visit from the Goon Squad articulates and responds to the sense of loss many feel as cherished physical objects are replaced with immaterial data. For Kreilkamp, Egan’s novel compellingly combines the psychological realism of the nineteenth-century novel with more recent and transient forms such as the celebrity magazine profile or a PowerPoint presentation to provide a self-reflective diagnosis of the decay and endurance of literature. Arranged like Egan’s novel into A and B sides, this book highlights not only how A Visit from the Goon Squad speaks to our mass-media and digital present but also its page-turning pleasure. IVAN KREILKAMP

“Kreilkamp’s lucid reading offers a refreshingly unapologetic appreciation of an important recent novel. This timely and engaging book argues that A Visit from the Goon Squad poses fiction as uniquely capable of grasping the experience of time, and thus as necessary as ever in a contemporary moment dominated by the digital and the visual.” —Jeremy Rosen, author of Minor Characters Have Their Day: Genre and the Contemporary Literary Marketplace

NO LIMITS A NEW SERIES COSTICA BRADATAN, SERIES EDITOR

“Edited by one of our great living philosophers of everything essential, this series promises to liberate us from both categories and ghettoes of thought and release us to fresh and vital consideration of what concerns us at the core. I’m thrilled if the No Limits books revive the tradition of Emerson and Camus and Nietzsche, reminding us that literature and philosophy can join hands in bringing urgency to enquiry and real humanity to our deepest issues of life and death.” —Pico Iyer

Aimlessness TOM LUTZ

Aimlessness collects ideas and stories from around the world that value indirection, wandering, getting lost, waiting, meandering, lingering, sitting, laying about, daydreaming, and other ways to be open to possibility, chaos, and multiplicity. Tom Lutz considers aimlessness as a fundamental human proclivity and method, one that has been vilified by modern industrial societies but celebrated by many religious traditions, philosophers, writers, and artists.

Intervolution

Touch

MARK C. TAYLOR

RICHARD KEARNEY

The combination of artificial intelligence with implants, transplants, prostheses, and genetic reprogramming is transforming medical research and treatment, and it is now also transforming what we thought was human nature. Mark C. Taylor identifies this process as “intervolution” and explores how it is weaving together smart things and smart bodies to create new forms of life. He reveals that we are already cyborgs, integral cogs in what will become a superorganism of bodies and things.

Richard Kearney offers a timely call for the cultivation of the basic human need to touch and be touched. He argues that touch is our most primordial sense, foundational to our individual and common selves. Kearney explores its role from ancient wisdom traditions to modern therapies. Making the case for the complementarity of touch and technology, this book is a passionate plea to recover a tangible sense of community and the joys of life with others.

Plastic Free

The Inspiring Story of a Global Environmental Movement and Why It Matters REBECCA PRINCE-RUIZ AND JOANNA ATHERFOLD FINN H OW A N EN VI RO N MEN TA L MOVEMEN T AGA I N ST PL ASTI C WASTE ROSE UP

In July 2011, Rebecca Prince-Ruiz challenged herself to go plastic free for the whole month. Starting with a small group of people in the city of Perth, the Plastic Free July movement has grown into a 250-million strong community across 177 countries, empowering people to reduce single-use plastic consumption and create a cleaner future.

This book explores how one of the world’s leading environmental campaigns took off and shares lessons from its success. From narrating marinedebris research expeditions to tracking what actually happens to our waste to sharing insights from behavioral research, it speaks to the massive scale of the plastic waste problem and how we can tackle it together. Interweaving interviews from participants, activists, and experts, Plastic Free tells the inspiring story of how ordinary people have created change in their homes, communities, workplaces, schools, businesses, and beyond.

“Some people feel overwhelmed by the environmental state of affairs and wait for politicians or manufacturers to change; others, like Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, take matters into their own hands, starting with their own lives. This is the success story of a global movement. It proves that individual action has more

Mind Thief

The Story of Alzheimer’s HAN YU A HISTORY OF AL ZH E I M E R ' S R E S E A R C H FR O M DI S COV ERY TO D R UG D E V E LO PM E N T

Alzheimer’s disease, a haunting and harrowing ailment, is one of the world’s most common causes of death. Alzheimer’s lingers for years, with patients’ outward appearance unaffected while their cognitive functions fade away. Patients lose the ability to work and live independently, to remember and recognize. There is still no proven way to treat Alzheimer’s because its causes remain unknown.

Mind Thief is a comprehensive and engaging history of Alzheimer’s that demystifies efforts to understand the disease. Beginning with the discovery of “presenile dementia” in the early twentieth century, Han Yu examines over a century of research and controversy. She presents the leading hypotheses for what causes Alzheimer’s; discusses their tangled origins, merits, and gaps; and details their successes and failures. Yu synthesizes a vast amount of medical literature, historical studies, and media interviews, telling the gripping stories of researchers’ struggles while situating science in its historical, social, and cultural contexts. Her chronicling of the trajectory of Alzheimer’s research deftly balances rich scientific detail with attention to the wider implications. In narrating the attempts to find a treatment, Yu also offers a critical account of research and drug development and a consideration of the philosophy of aging. Wide-ranging and accessible, Mind Thief is an important book for all readers interested in the challenge of Alzheimer’s. HAN YU

How to Feel

The Science and Meaning of Touch SUSHMA SUBRAMANIAN T H E SC I EN TI FI C A N D C ULTURA L WO RLDS WI THI N O UR S E N S E O F TO UC H

We are out of touch. Many people fear that we are trapped inside our screens, becoming less in tune with our bodies and losing our connection to the physical world. But the sense of touch has been undervalued since long before the days of digital isolation. Because of deeply rooted beliefs that favor the cerebral over the corporeal, touch is maligned as dirty or sentimental, in contrast with supposedly more elevated modes of perceiving the world.

“Subramanian brings an intensely personal narrative to the study of touch, with a breadth of coverage and a great balance for scientists and nonscientists alike.” —Robert DeSalle, author of Our Senses: An Immersive Experience

How to Feel explores the scientific, physical, emotional, and cultural aspects of touch, reconnecting us to what is arguably our most important sense. Sushma Subramanian introduces readers to the scientists whose groundbreaking research is underscoring the role of touch in our lives. Through vivid individual stories—a man who lost his sense of touch in his early twenties, a woman who experiences touch-emotion synesthesia, her own efforts to become less touch averse—Subramanian explains the science of the somatosensory system. She visits labs that are shaping the textures of objects we use every day, from cereal to synthetic fabrics. The book highlights the growing field of haptics, which is trying to incorporate tactile interactions into devices such as phones that touch us back and prosthetic limbs that can feel. How to Feel offers a new appreciation for a vital but misunderstood sense and how we can use it to live more fully in our world. SUSHMA SUBRAMANIAN

Whether we realize it or not, we think of our brains as computers. In neuroscience, the metaphor of the brain as a computer has defined the field for much of the modern era. But as neuroscientists increasingly reevaluate their assumptions about how brains work, we need a new metaphor to help us ask better questions.

The computational neuroscientist Daniel Graham offers an innovative paradigm for understanding the brain. He argues that the brain is not like a single computer—it is a communication system, like the internet. Both are networks whose power comes from their flexibility and reliability. The brain and the internet both must route signals throughout their systems, requiring protocols to direct messages from just about any point to any other. But we do not yet understand how the brain manages the dynamic flow of information across its entire network. The internet metaphor can help neuroscience unravel the brain’s routing mechanisms by focusing attention on shared design principles and communication strategies that emerge from parallel challenges. Highlighting similarities between brain connectivity and the architecture of the internet can open new avenues of research and help unlock the brain’s deepest secrets.

“Graham offers a fresh, insightful, and informative perspective on brain function, proposing that communication between neurons resembles signal passing in the internet as a novel metaphor to investigate the brain. He provides erudite discussions and presents compelling arguments in a lively and clear manner.” —Gabriel Kreiman, Harvard Medical School

An Internet in Your Head presents a clear-eyed and engaging tour of brain science as it stands today and where the new paradigm might take it next. It offers anyone with an interest in brains a transformative new way to conceptualize what goes on inside our heads. DANIEL GRAHAM

Music, Math, and Mind

The Physics and Neuroscience of Music DAVID SULZER U N D E RSTA N DI N G THE SC I EN C E THAT MA K ES M U S I C WO RK

Why does a clarinet play at lower pitches than a flute? What does it mean for sounds to be in or out of tune? How are emotions carried by music? Do other animals perceive sound like we do? How might a musician use math to come up with new ideas?

“This is an amazing book. Readers will come back to it again and again for its clear explanations, breadth of content, and ‘listening’ advice.” —Susan Savage-Rumbaugh, primatologist and psychologist, specialist in communication by bonobos

“A ribald reality check on what makes music matter, and why we should mind.” —Van Dyke Parks, musician, producer, and lyricist for the Beach Boys

This book offers a lively exploration of the mathematics, physics, and neuroscience that underlie music in a way that readers without scientific background can follow. David Sulzer, also known in the musical world as Dave Soldier, explains why the perception of music encompasses the physics of sound, the functions of the ear and deep-brain auditory pathways, and the physiology of emotion. He delves into topics such as the math by which musical scales, rhythms, tuning, and harmonies are derived, from the days of Pythagoras to technological manipulation of sound waves. Sulzer ranges from canonical composers to hip-hop, the history of experimental music, and animal sound by songbirds, cetaceans, bats, and insects.

Written for musicians and music lovers with any level of science and math proficiency, including none, Music, Math, and Mind demystifies how music works while testifying to its beauty and wonder. DAVID SULZER

On the Judgment of History

JOAN WALLACH SCOTT

W H Y WE MUST Q UESTI O N THE I DEA THAT HI STO RY W I L L J UDGE

In the face of conflict and despair, we often console ourselves by saying that history will be the judge. Today’s oppressors may escape being held responsible for their crimes, but the future will condemn them. Those who stand up for progressive values are on the right side of history. As ideas once condemned to the dustbin of history—white supremacy, hypernationalism, even fascism—return to the world, threatening democratic institutions and values, can we still hold out hope that history will render its verdict? “A stunning and timely meditation on history, both as a field of inquiry and as the broadest arena of human activity, and on justice, both as an ideal and as a state institution. This book will provoke intellectual excitement among a wide range of readers.” —Andrew Zimmerman, author of Alabama in Africa: Booker T. Washington, the German Empire, and the Globalization of the New South

Joan Wallach Scott critically examines the belief that history will redeem us, revealing the implicit politics of appeals to the judgment of history. She argues that the notion of a linear, ever-improving direction of history hides the persistence of power structures and hinders the pursuit of alternative futures. This vision of necessary progress perpetuates the assumption that the nation-state is the culmination of history and the ultimate source for rectifying injustice. Scott examines the Nuremberg Tribunal and South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which claimed to carry out history’s judgment on Nazism and apartheid, and contrasts them with the movement for reparations for slavery in the United States. Advocates for reparations call into question a national history that has long ignored enslavement and its racist legacies. Only by this kind of critical questioning of the place of the nation-state as the final source of history’s judgment, this book shows, can we open up room for radically different conceptions of justice.

Since Gutenberg’s time, every aspect of print has gradually changed. But the advent of computational media has exponentially increased the pace, transforming how books are composed, designed, edited, typeset, distributed, sold, and read. N. Katherine Hayles traces the emergence of what she identifies as the postprint condition, exploring how the interweaving of print and digital technologies has changed not only books but also language, authorship, and what it means to be human.

Hayles considers the ways in which print has been enmeshed in literate societies and how these are changing as some of the cognitive tasks once performed exclusively by humans are now carried out by computational media. She conceptualizes innovations in print technology as redistributions of cognitive capabilities between humans and machines. Humanity is becoming computational, just as computational systems are edging toward processes once thought of as distinctively human. Books in all their diversity are also in the process of becoming computational, representing a crucial site of ongoing cognitive transformations. Hayles details the consequences for humanities publications through interviews with scholars and university press professionals and considers the cultural implications in readings of two novels. Spanning fields including book studies, cultural theory, and media archeology, Postprint is a strikingly original consideration of the role of computational media in the ongoing evolution of humanity. © NICHOLAS GESSLER

What Really Counts

The Case for a Sustainable and Equitable Economy RONALD COLMAN A PE RSO N A L ACCO UN T O F THE ATTEMP T TO GO BE YON D GDP

Politicians and economists fixate on “growing the economy”—measured by a country’s gross domestic product. But the economy can grow by emitting more greenhouse gases and producing more plastic waste, and protecting the environment and building stronger communities are sidelined in GDP statistics. What we measure is a choice, and what is and isn’t counted determines what sorts of policies are enacted. How can we shift the focus to well-being and quality of life?

“Unique, important, compelling, and timely, What Really Counts gets below the surface of what keeps our misguided reliance on GDP in place. Colman uncovers the political forces and vested interests involved with GDP measures and how they work together to stifle meaningful change toward a sustainable well-being economy and planet.” —Robert Costanza, coeditor of Sustainable Wellbeing Futures: A Research and Action Agenda for Ecological Economics

What Really Counts is an essential, firsthand story of the promise and challenges of accounting for social, economic, and environmental benefits. Ronald Colman recounts two decades of working with three governments to adopt measures capable of quantifying factors that GDP overlooks. Chronicling his path from Nova Scotia to New Zealand to Bhutan, Colman details the challenge of devising meaningful metrics, the effort to see alternatives realized, and the obstacles that stand in the way of implementing new systems. Reflecting on successes and failures, he considers how to shift policy priorities from a narrow economic growth agenda toward a future built on sustainability and equity. Colman has taken the critique of GDP outside the academy and attempted to realize an alternative. The lessons he offers in What Really Counts are vital for anyone interested in how we can measure what matters—and how better measures can help build a better world. RONALD COLMAN

Energy’s Digital Future

Harnessing Innovation for American Resilience and National Security AMY MYERS JAFFE HOW T EC H NOLOGICA L A DVA N C E M E N TS A R E TRANS FOR M ING T H E G LO BA L E N E R GY L A N DS CA PE

Disruptive digital technologies are poised to reshape world energy markets. A new wave of industrial innovation, driven by the convergence of automation, artificial intelligence, and big-data analytics, is remaking energy and transportation systems in ways that could someday end the age of oil. What are the consequences—not only for the environment and for daily life but also for geopolitics and the international order?

Amy Myers Jaffe provides an expert look at the promises and challenges of the future of energy, highlighting what the United States needs to do to maintain its global influence in a post-oil era. She surveys new advances coming to market in on-demand travel services, automation, logistics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and 3-D printing and explores how this rapid pace of innovation is altering international security dynamics in fundamental ways. As the United States doubles down on fossil fuels, China is poised to become the global frontrunner in a full-scale global energy transformation. In order to maintain its leadership role, Jaffe argues, the United States must embrace the digital revolution and foster American achievement. Bringing together analyses of technological innovation, energy policy, and geopolitics, Energy’s Digital Future gives indispensable insight into the path the United States will need to pursue to ensure its lasting economic competitiveness and national security in a new energy age.

Better Data Visualizations

A Guide for Scholars, Researchers, and Wonks JONATHAN SCHWABISH A CL EAR GUID E TO PR E S E N T I N G DATA I N I TS BE ST FOR M

Now more than ever, content must be visual if it is to travel far. Readers everywhere are overwhelmed with a flow of data, news, and text. Visuals can cut through the noise and make it easier for readers to recognize and recall information. Yet many researchers were never taught how to present their work visually.

This book details essential strategies to create more effective data visualizations. Jonathan Schwabish walks readers through the steps of creating better graphs and how to move beyond simple line, bar, and pie charts. Through more than five hundred examples, he demonstrates the do’s and don’ts of data visualization, the principles of visual perception, and how to make subjective style decisions around a chart’s design. Schwabish surveys more than eighty visualization types, from histograms to horizon charts, ridgeline plots to choropleth maps, and explains how each has its place in the visual toolkit. It might seem intimidating, but everyone can learn how to create compelling, effective data visualizations. This book will guide you as you define your audience and goals, choose the graph that best fits for your data, and clearly communicate your message. JONATHAN SCHWABISH

“Better Data Visualizations is a practical guide to a large catalog of chart types. No other book introduces the reader to specific chart types with such detail and finesse.

Humanist Reason

A History. An Argument. A Plan. ERIC HAYOT A N E W WAY O F UN DERSTA N DI N G THE I MP O RTA N C E O F T H E HUMA N I TI ES

Ask just about any humanist, and you will hear that the humanities are in a crisis. Facing utilitarian approaches to education, the corporatization of the university, plummeting enrollments, budget cuts, and political critiques from right, left, and center, humanists find themselves on the defensive. Eric Hayot argues that it is time to make a positive case for what the humanities are and what they can become.

Hayot challenges scholars and students in the humanities to rethink and reconsider the work they do. Examining the origins of the humanist ethos in nineteenth-century Germany and tracing its philosophical roots back to Immanuel Kant, Hayot returns to the history of justifications for the humanities in order to build the groundwork for their future development. He develops the concept of “humanist reason” to understand the nature of humanist intellectual work and lays out a series of principles that undergird this core idea. Together, they constitute a provocative intellectual and practical program for a new way of thinking about the humanities, humanist thought, and their role in the university and beyond. Rather than appealing to familiar ethical or moral rationales for the importance of the humanities, Humanist Reason lays out a new vision that moves beyond traditional disciplines to demonstrate what the humanities can tell us about our world.

“Hayot brings his customary mix of chutzpah and erudition to bear on what have seemed to be intractable debates about the role of the humanities in public life, the organization of academic disciplines, and the future of higher education. With clarity of purpose, bravery, and admirable pragmatism, he calls not only for new thinking— but also for new action.” —Rebecca L.

An I-Novel

MINAE MIZUMURA

Translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter in collaboration with the author AN I NT EL L EC T UAL CO M I N G - O F-AG E N OV E L FR O M O N E OF JAPAN’ S M OST IMPO RTA N T W R I T E R S

Minae Mizumura’s An I-Novel is a semiautobiographical work that takes place over the course of a single day in the 1980s. Minae is a Japanese expatriate graduate student who has lived in the United States for two decades but turned her back on the English language and American culture. After a phone call from her older sister reminds her that it is the twentieth anniversary of their family’s arrival in New York, she spends the day reflecting in solitude and over the phone with her sister about their life in the United States, trying to break the news that she has decided to go back to Japan and become a writer in her mother tongue.

Published in 1995, this formally daring novel radically broke with Japanese literary tradition. It liberally incorporated English words and phrases, and the entire text was printed horizontally, to be read from left to right, rather than vertically and from right to left. Mizumura transforms the “I-novel,” a Japanese confessional genre that toys with fictionalization, telling the story of two sisters while taking up urgent questions of identity, race, and language. Above all, she considers what it means to write in the era of the hegemony of English—and what it means to be a writer of Japanese in particular. © T OYO TA H O R I G U C H I

The Voice Over Poems and Essays

MARIA STEPANOVA Edited by Irina Shevelenko A CO N TEMP O RA RY RUSSI A N WRI TER DEEP LY EN GAGED W I T H P O ETI C FO RM A N D P O LI TI CA L TURMO I L

Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia’s first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia’s political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country’s past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war.

Praise for Maria Stepanova: “Maria Stepanova is among the most visible figures in post-Soviet culture.”

The Voice Over brings together two decades of Stepanova’s work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova’s poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns of ballads, elegies, and war songs are transposed into a new key. As an essayist, Stepanova engages deeply with writers who bore witness to devastation and dramatic social change, as seen in searching pieces on W. G. Sebald, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Susan Sontag. Including contributions from ten translators, The Voice Over shows English-speaking readers why Stepanova is one of Russia’s most acclaimed contemporary writers.

—Los Angeles Review of Books

“[Stepanova’s] work is defined by fluent phrases expressing complex thoughts, the fusing of different styles, a carefree command of all possible metrical feet, and a great sense of empathy.”

Modern Mongolian Short Fiction

SIMON WICKHAMSMITH, TRANSLATOR AN E VOCAT IV E INT R O D U C T I O N TO M O D E R N MON GOL IAN L IT ER AT U R E

Over the course of the twentieth century, Mongolian life was transformed, as a land of nomadic communities encountered first socialism and then capitalism and their promises of new societies. The stories collected in this anthology offer literary snapshots of Mongolian life throughout this tumult. Suncranes and Other Stories showcases a range of powerful voices and their vivid portraits of nomads, revolution, and the endless steppe.

Spanning the years following the socialist revolution of 1921 through the early twenty-first century, these stories from the country’s most highly regarded prose writers show how Mongolian culture has forged links between the traditional and the modern. Writers employ a wide range of styles, from Aesopian fables through socialist realism to more experimental forms, influenced by folktales and epics as well as Western prose models. They depict the drama of a nomadic population struggling to understand a new approach to life imposed by a foreign power while at the same time benefiting from reforms, whether in the capital city Ulaanbaatar or on the steppe.

Media Capture

How Money, Digital Platforms, and Governments Control the News ANYA SCHIFFRIN, EDITOR H OW DI GI TA L TEC HN O LO GY P OSES N EW THREATS TO M E D I A FREEDO M

Who controls the media today? There are many media systems across the globe that claim to be free yet whose independence has been eroded. As demagogues rise, independent voices have been squeezed out. Corporate-owned media companies that act in the service of power increasingly exercise soft censorship. Tech giants such as Facebook and Google have dramatically changed how people access information, with consequences that are only beginning to be felt.

This book features pathbreaking analysis from journalists and academics of the changing nature and peril of media capture—how formerly independent institutions fall under the sway of governments, plutocrats, and corporations. Contributors including Emily Bell, Felix Salmon, Joshua Marshall, Joel Simon, and Nikki Usher analyze diverse cases of media capture worldwide, many drawn from firsthand experience. They examine the role played by new media companies and funders, showing how the confluence of the growth of big tech and falling revenues for legacy media has led to new forms of control. Contributions shed light on how the rise of right-wing populists has catalyzed the crisis of global media. They also chart a way forward, exploring the growing need for a policy response and sustainable models for public-interest investigative journalism. Providing valuable insight into today’s urgent threats to media independence, Media Capture is essential reading for anyone concerned with defending press freedom in the digital age.

“This book is a remarkable achievement. For scholars and concerned citizens alike, it promises to be a key milestone in the ongoing debates about the uncertain future of news. At a moment when our democratic institutions are under assault and journalism is withering away, the essays featured in Schiffrin’s wonderful volume are especially timely. Anyone who cares about the future of journalism—and our democracy—should read this important book!” —Victor Pickard, author of America’s Battle for Media Democracy: The Triumph of Corporate Libertarianism

Regardless of Frontiers

The Threats to Global Freedom of Expression LEE C. BOLLINGER AND AGNES CALLAMARD, EDITORS HOW TO ENS UR E T H E FR E E D O M O F E X PR E SS I O N A N D I N FOR M AT ION IN A G LO BA L WO R L D

The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 proclaimed a vision of freedom of expression exercised regardless of frontiers. Nonetheless, laws and norms regarding the freedom or limits of expression are typically established and understood at the national level. In today’s interconnected world, where newfound threats to free expression have suddenly arisen, how can this fundamental right be secured at a global level?

This volume brings together leading experts from a variety of fields to critically evaluate the extent to which global norms on freedom of expression and information have been established and which actors and institutions have contributed to their diffusion. The authors also consider ongoing and new challenges to these norms, from conflicts over hate speech and the rise of populism to authoritarian governments, as well as the profound disruption introduced by the internet. Together, the essays lay the groundwork for an international legal doctrine on global freedom of expression that considers issues such as access to government-held information, media diversity, and political speech. As the world risks renouncing previous commitments to the freedom of expression, Regardless of Frontiers serves as a timely reminder of just how much is at stake and what needs protecting. LEE C. BOLLINGER

“This collection establishes a rigorous idea of global norms of freedom of expression. Headed by Lee C.

“Quality Shareholders highlights the

Anyone can buy stock in a public company, but not all shareholders are equally committed to a company’s long-term success. In an increasingly fragmented financial world, shareholders’ attitudes toward the companies in which they invest vary widely. Faced with indexers, short-term traders, and activists, it is more important than ever for businesses to ensure that their shareholders are dedicated to their missions. Today’s companies need “quality shareholders,” as Warren Buffett called those who “load up and stick around,” or buy large stakes and hold for long periods.

Lawrence A. Cunningham offers an expert guide to the benefits of attracting and keeping quality shareholders. He demonstrates that a high density of dedicated long-term shareholders results in numerous comparative and competitive advantages for companies and their managers, including a longer runway to execute business strategy and a loyal cohort against adversity. Cunningham explores dozens of corporate practices and policies—such as rational capital allocation, long-term performance metrics, and a shareholder orientation—that can help shape the shareholder base and bring in committed owners. Focusing on the benefits for corporations and their investors, he reveals what draws quality shareholders to certain companies and what it means to have them in an investor base. This book is vital reading for investors, executives, and directors seeking to understand and attract the kind of shareholders that their companies need.

Hire Purpose

How Smart Companies Can Close the Skills Gap DEANNA MULLIGAN WITH GREG SHAW A G UID E FOR P UR P OS E FU L CO M PA N I E S TO D E V E LO P THE WOR K FOR C E OF T H E FU T U R E

Automation is no longer a hobbyhorse of futurists, but a pressing concern for the current generation of leaders in both the private and public sectors. In the next ten to fifteen years, work and life at every level of society are going to be transformed. Emerging technology will revolutionize nearly every job, eliminate some, and create new forms of work that we have yet to imagine. How can we survive and thrive in the face of drastic change?

Deanna Mulligan offers a practical, broad-minded look at the effects of automation and why the private sector needs to lead the charge in shaping a values-based response. With a focus on the power of education, Mulligan proposes that the solutions to workforce upheaval lie in reskilling and retraining for individuals and companies adapting to rapid change. By creating lifelong learning opportunities that break down boundaries between the classroom and the workplace, businesses can foster personal and career well-being and growth for their employees. Drawing on her own experiences, historical examples, and reports from the frontiers where these issues are unfolding, Mulligan details how business leaders can prepare for and respond to technological disruption. Providing a framework for concrete and meaningful action, Hire Purpose is an essential read about the transformations that will shape the next decade and beyond. DEANNA MULLIGAN

Making Great Strategy

Arguing for Organizational Advantage JESPER B. SØRENSEN AND GLENN R. CARROLL A G U I DE TO STRATEGI C THI N K I N G FO R O R G AN I Z ATI O N A L LEA DERS

Making strategy requires undertaking major—often irreversible—decisions aimed at long-term success in an uncertain future. All leaders must formulate a clear course of action, yet many lack confidence in their ability to think systematically about their strategy. They struggle to apply the abstract lessons offered by conventional approaches to strategic analysis to their unique contexts.

“Sørensen and Carroll have developed an incredibly powerful yet simple way to build a compelling corporate strategy. After reading the book, you’ll wonder why everyone doesn’t do it this way.” —Andy Rachleff, cofounder, CEO, and executive chairman, Wealthfront

Making Great Strategy resolves these challenges with a straightforward, readily applicable framework. Jesper B. Sørensen and Glenn R. Carroll show that one factor underlies all sustainably successful strategies: a logically coherent argument that connects resources, capabilities, and environmental conditions to desired outcomes. They introduce a system for formulating and managing strategy through a set of three core activities: visualization, formalization and logic, and constructive argumentation. These activities can be implemented in any organization and are illustrated through examples and case studies from well-known companies such as Apple, Walmart, and The Economist. This book shows that while great strategic thinking is hard, it is not a mystery. Widely applicable and relevant for managers and leaders at all levels, especially executive teams charged with setting the course of their organizations, it is essential reading for anyone faced with practical problems of strategic management.

What explains the massive worldwide success of video games such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Pokémon Go? Game companies look unconventional—and are often ignored—from the standpoint of traditional business strategy. Yet they have thrived in the face of digitalization, generating billions in revenue through business models such as offering content for free in order to build market share and draw in customers. One Up offers a pioneering empirical analysis of innovation and strategy in the video game industry to explain how it has gone from the fringe to the mainstream. Drawing on almost twenty years of practical and academic experience in the interactive entertainment field, Joost van Dreunen analyzes how business-model innovation has made the video game industry what it is today. Covering more than three decades of industry data, he demonstrates that video game companies flourish when they bring the same level of creativity to business strategy as they do to game design. Filled with case studies of companies such as Activision Blizzard, Apple, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Microsoft, Nexon, Sony, Take-Two Interactive, Tencent, and Valve, this book reveals how the emergence of digital and mobile gaming can make us rethink traditional product-based strategies. One Up is required reading for investors, strategic decision makers, creatives, and anyone looking to learn about the major drivers of change and growth in contemporary entertainment.

Positioning for Advantage

Techniques and Strategies to Grow Brand Value KIMBERLY A. WHITLER

Most of us have an intuitive sense of superior branding. We prefer to purchase brands we find distinctive—that deliver on some important, relevant dimension better than other brands. These brands have typically achieved positional advantage. Yet few professionals have had the formal training that goes beyond marketing theory to bridge the “theory-doing gap”—providing specific tools that can be used to create brands that attain positional advantage in the marketplace.

“Whitler not only fills the theorypractice gap in marketing strategy with a hands-on focus on building marketing skills around key tools but also goes beyond descriptions to guide readers on broader applications for later use in corporate life.” —Claudio Alvarez, Baylor University

Positioning for Advantage is a comprehensive how-to guide for creating, building, and executing effective brand strategies. Kimberly A. Whitler identifies essential marketing strategy techniques and moves through the major stages of positioning a brand to achieve in-market advantage. Introducing seven tools—from strategic positioning to strategy mapping to influencer maps—Whitler provides templates, frameworks, and step-by-step processes to build and manage growth brands that achieve positional advantage. This book presents real-world scenarios, helping readers activate the tools through practice to increase skill in creating brands that achieve positional advantage. Brimming with insights for students and professionals alike, Positioning for Advantage helps aspiring C-level leaders understand not only what superior branding looks like but also how to make it come to life.

Emerging Domestic Markets

How Financial Entrepreneurs Reach Underserved Communities in the United States GREGORY FAIRCHILD HOW NEW M OD EL S FO R FI N A N C I A L S E RV I C E S A R E RE AC H ING UND ER S E RV E D CO M M U N I T I E S

The term “emerging market” refers to countries where incomes are currently low but that are likely to experience rapid growth and increasing economic competitiveness. Identifying emerging markets is important for international development, and for investors they represent intriguing opportunities to reap uncommon gains. Yet many of the characteristics of emerging markets—including demographic shifts, rising educational attainment, and growing urbanization—are also found closer to home, in communities that have been underserved by the existing financial-services system.

Gregory Fairchild introduces readers to the rising set of entrepreneurs whose efforts to reach marginalized groups are reshaping the emerging markets of the United States. He explores how minority-owned and community-development institutions are achieving innovations in financial services to further economic development and reduce inequality. Fairchild illustrates these transformative models through compelling narratives: the decision by a Chinese-ethnic credit union to open a branch in a new neighborhood, investment by a minority-led private equity firm in satellite radio for the developing world, and efforts by a communitydevelopment-loan fund to bring fresh foods into a food desert in Philadelphia. Bringing together quantitative research, powerful stories of real-world entrepreneurs, and nuanced insights on public policy, Emerging Domestic Markets offers a vital set of prescriptions for inclusive financial development.

Common Sense

The Investor’s Guide to Equality, Opportunity, and Growth JOEL GREENBLATT A N I NVESTO R’ S A P P ROAC H TO A DDRESSI N G K EY E CO N O MI C I SSUES FAC I N G A MERI CA

The United States is supposed to offer economic opportunity to everyone. So why are so many people left out in the cold? Globalization and technological change have ravaged the workforce. Hostile immigration policies actually keep Americans from getting jobs. Our education system is deeply unequal, denying opportunity to millions right from the start. Still, we can’t seem to break from the status quo.

Praise for Joel Greenblatt’s The Little Book That Beats the Market “One of the best, clearest guides to value investing out there.” —Wall Street Journal

“The best book on the subject in years.” —Financial Times

In Common Sense, the New York Times best-selling author Joel Greenblatt offers an investor’s perspective on building an economy that truly works for everyone. With dry and self-deprecating wit, he makes a lively and provocative case for disruptive new approaches—some drawn from personal experience, some from the outside looking in. How do we ensure that all children have an opportunity for a good education? Does getting a college degree have to be a requirement for getting a good job? If we subsidize banks, how do we ensure that the risks and rewards are distributed fairly? Greenblatt shows why expanding an already existing program might help more people than raising the minimum wage, how dramatically increasing immigration would be like giving every American a bonus, and the reason Australia might be the best place to learn about saving for retirement. Not everyone will agree with what Greenblatt has to say—but all of us can benefit from the conversations he aims to start. JOEL GREENBLATT

From the ads that track us to the maps that guide us, the twenty-first century runs on code. The business world is no different. Programming has become one of the fastest-growing topics at business schools around the world. An increasing number of MBAs are choosing to pursue careers in tech. For them and other professionals, having some basic coding knowledge is a must.

This book is an introduction to programming with Python for MBA students and others in business positions who need a crash course. One of the most popular programming languages, Python is used for tasks such as building and running websites, data analysis, machine learning, and natural-language processing. Drawing on years of experience providing instruction in this material at Columbia Business School as well as extensive backgrounds in technology, entrepreneurship, and consulting, Mattan Griffel and Daniel Guetta teach the basics of programming from scratch. Beginning with fundamentals such as variables, strings, lists, and functions, they build up to data analytics and practical ways to derive value from large and complex datasets. They focus on business use cases throughout, using the real-world example of a major restaurant chain to offer a concrete look at what Python can do. Written for business students with no previous coding experience and those in business roles that include coding or working with coding teams, Python for MBAs is an indispensable introduction to a versatile and powerful programming language.

Skillful management is essential to the functioning of any organization. But what are the fundamental elements of a manager’s work?

“At a time when plenty of focus has been on a hierarchical narrative that sees only C-suite leaders at the top and employees at the bottom, Steven Cohen and William Eimicke shine a light on the surpassing importance of what excellent managers in the middle know and do about institutional success. Management Fundamentals is a must-read.” —Sarah Bloom Raskin, former U.S. deputy secretary of the Treasury

This book is a succinct handbook of the essentials of management for current and future practitioners. The leadership experts Steven Cohen and William Eimicke concisely explain management best practices, aiming to equip managers with the tools of the trade and prepare them to tackle decision making.

Artificial Whiteness

Politics and Ideology in Artificial Intelligence YARDEN KATZ E XPOS ING T H E H ID D E N W H I T E S U PR E M ACY O F ARTI F IC IAL INT EL L IG E N C E

Dramatic statements about the promise and peril of artificial intelligence for humanity abound, as an industry of experts claims that AI is poised to reshape nearly every sphere of life. Who profits from the idea that the age of AI has arrived? Why do ideas of AI’s transformative potential keep reappearing in social and political discourse, and how are they linked to broader political agendas?

Yarden Katz reveals the ideology embedded in the concept of artificial intelligence, contending that it both serves and mimics the logic of white supremacy. He demonstrates that understandings of AI, as a field and a technology, have shifted dramatically over time based on the needs of its funders and the professional class that formed around it. From its origins in the Cold War military-industrial complex through its present-day Silicon Valley proselytizers and eager policy analysts, AI has never been simply a technical project enabled by larger data and better computing. Drawing on intimate familiarity with the field and its practices, Katz instead asks us to see how AI reinforces models of knowledge that assume white male superiority and an imperialist worldview. Only by seeing the connection between artificial intelligence and whiteness can we prioritize alternatives to the conception of AI as an all-encompassing technological force. Bringing together theories of whiteness and race in the humanities and social sciences with a deep understanding of the history and practice of science and computing, Artificial Whiteness is an incisive, urgent critique of the uses of AI as a political tool to uphold social hierarchies.

The art houses and cinema clubs of his youth are gone, but the films that D. A. Miller discovered there in the 1960s and ’70s are now at his fingertips. With DVDs and streaming media, technology has turned the old cinematheque’s theatrical offerings into private viewings that anyone can repeat, pause, slow, and otherwise manipulate at will.

In Second Time Around, Miller seizes this opportunity; across thirteen essays, he watches digitally restored films by directors from Mizoguchi to Pasolini and from Hitchcock to Honda, looking to find not only what he first saw in them but also what he was then kept from seeing by quick camerawork, normal projection speed, missing frames, or simple censorship. At last he has an unobstructed view of the gay leather scene in Cruising, the expurgated special effects in The H-Man, and the alternative ending to Vertigo. Now he can pursue the finer details of Chabrol’s debt to Hitchcock, Visconti’s mystificatory Marxism, or the unemotive emotion in Godard.

“So glad we met, the old song says, the second time around, and D. A. Miller’s accounts of his first and second (and more) sights of film constitute a whole admirable viewing practice: attentive, reflective, witty, personal, historical. Once you’ve visited what he calls his old and new cinematheques—the one with

Yet this recaptured past is strangely disturbing; the films and the author have changed in too many ways for their reunion to be like old times. The closeness of Miller’s attention clarifies the painful contradictions of youth and decline, damaged prints and flawless restorations.

Ulysses by Numbers ERIC BULSON

RETHINK ING A M OD E R N I ST CL ASS I C T H R O U G H COMP UTAT IONAL M ET H O DS

Ulysses has been read obsessively for a century. What if instead of focusing on the words to understand the structure, design, and history of Joyce’s masterpiece, we pay attention to the numbers?

Taking a computational approach, Ulysses by Numbers lets us see the novel’s basic building blocks in a significantly new light—words, paragraphs, pages, and characters, as well as the original print run and the dates marking the beginning and end of its composition. Numbers provide access into Joyce’s creative process, enhanced by graphs, diagrams, timelines, and maps, and they also give us a startling new perspective on the proportions that continue to structure, organize, and pace the reading experience. Numbers are there to help us navigate the history of Ulysses from its earliest material beginnings, and they offer a concrete basis upon which we can explore the big questions about its length, style, origins, readership, and design.

An innovative computational reading on both a micro and macro level, Ulysses by Numbers is a timely intervention into debates about the use and abuse of quantitative methods in literary analysis. Eric Bulson demonstrates how reading by numbers can bring us closer to the words of Ulysses, helping us rediscover a novel we thought we already knew. ERIC BULSON

is professor of English at Claremont Graduate University.

“Ulysses by Numbers is a winningly idiosyncratic piece of literary criticism, one that is both very much of its moment in many respects, and in a few others defiantly peculiar. Bulson has delivered a timely, restlessly inventive book. It is a provocative call for and demonstration of a delirious, even enchanted kind of quantitative reading.” —Nicholas Dames, author of The Physiology of the Novel: Reading, Neural Science, and the Form of Victorian Fiction

Epistenology

Wine as Experience NICOLA PERULLO A N E W WAY O F THI N KI N G A BO UT THE M E A NI N GFULN ESS O F WI N E

We think we know how to appreciate wine—trained connoisseurs take dainty sips in sterile rooms and provide ratings based on objective knowledge and technical expertise. In Epistenology, Nicola Perullo vigorously challenges this approach, arguing that it is the enjoyment of drinking wine as an active and participatory experience that matters. Perullo argues that wine comes to life not in the abstract space of the professional tasting but in the real world of shared experiences; wines can change in these encounters, and drinkers along with them. Just as a winemaker is not simply a producer but a nurturer, a wine is fully known only through an encounter among a group of drinkers in a specific place and time. Wine is not an object to analyze but an experience to make, creatively opening up new perceptual possibilities for settings, cuisines, and companions.

“Perullo wants to know wine by participating in it, by forming relations with it, by giving subjectivity its place of honor, by acknowledging a debt to pleasure. He’s produced a radical challenge to Anglophone sensibilities about wine

The result of more than twenty years of research and practical engagement, Epistenology presents a new paradigm for the enjoyment of wine and through it a philosophy based on participatory and relational knowledge. This model suggests a profound shift— knowledge not about but with wine. Interweaving philosophical arguments with personal reflections and literary examples, this book is a journey with wine that shows how it makes life more creative and free.

Why Veganism Matters The Moral Value of Animals GARY L. FRANCIONE THE ET H ICAL CAS E FO R V E G A N I S M AS A M AT T E R OF J UST IC E

Most people care about animals, but only a tiny fraction are vegan. The rest often think of veganism as an extreme position. They certainly do not believe that they have a moral obligation to become vegan.

Gary L. Francione—the leading and most provocative scholar of animal rights theory and law—demonstrates that veganism is a moral imperative and a matter of justice. He shows that there is a contradiction in thinking that animals matter morally if one is also not vegan, and he explains why this belief should logically lead all who hold it to veganism. Francione dismantles the conventional wisdom that it is acceptable to use and kill animals as long as we do so “humanely.” He argues that if animals matter morally, they must have the right not to be used as property. That means that we cannot eat them, wear them, use them, or otherwise treat them as resources or commodities.

Why Veganism Matters presents the case for the personhood of nonhuman animals and for veganism in a clear and accessible way that does not require any philosophical or legal background. This book offers a persuasive and powerful argument for all readers who care about animals but are not sure whether they have a moral obligation to be vegan. © N I C K R O M A N E N KO / RUTGERS UNIVERSITY

“Francione argues with great force and clarity for radical change in our relations with animals. Why Veganism Matters is especially noteworthy for its sharp critique of current approaches to animal ethics.

Making Peace with the Universe

Personal Crisis and Spiritual Healing MICHAEL SCOTT ALEXANDER

H OW THE WI SDO M O F RELI GI O US TRA DI TI O N S HELP S N O U R I SH P SYC HO LO GI CA L HEA LTH

The world’s great religious and philosophical traditions often include poignant testimonies of spiritual turmoil and healing. Following episodes of harrowing personal crisis, including addictions, periods of anxiety and panic, and reminders of mortality, these accounts then also describe pathways to consolation and resolution.

In Making Peace with the Universe, Michael Scott Alexander reads diverse classic religious accounts as masterpieces of therapeutic insight. In the company of William James, Socrates, the Muslim legal scholar turned mystic Hamid al-Ghazali, Chinggis Khan as described by the Daoist monk Qui Chuji, and the jazz musician and Catholic convert Mary Lou Williams, Alexander traces the steps from existential crisis to psychological health. He recasts spiritual confessions as case histories of therapy, showing how they remain radical and deeply meaningful even in an age of scientific psychology. They record the therapeutic affect of spiritual experience, testifying to the achievement of psychological well-being through the cultivation of an edifying spiritual mood.

“What if the classics of religious thought actually made you feel . . . better? In this stunning, accessible book, Michael Scott Alexander—the most chill professor you never had— shows that the greatest minds of the past were deeply attuned to the crises of the present, midlife and otherwise. Their solutions, and his, map a path through the dark wood

Mixing scholarly learning with episodes from his own skeptical quest, Alexander demonstrates how these accounts of private terror and personal triumph offer a model of therapy through spiritual adventure. An interdisciplinary consideration of the shared terrain of religion and psychology, Making Peace with the Universe offers an innovative view of what spiritual traditions can teach us about finding meaning in the modern world.

America’s Public Philosopher

Essays on Social Justice, Economics, Education, and the Future of Democracy JOHN DEWEY Edited and with an introduction by Eric Thomas Weber WHY J OH N D EWEY R E M A I N S A POW E R FU L PU BL I C VOI C E AGAINST UNDE M O CR AT I C FO R C E S

John Dewey was America’s greatest public philosopher. A prolific and influential writer for both scholarly and general audiences, he stands out for the remarkable breadth of his contributions. Dewey was a founder of a distinctly American philosophical tradition, pragmatism, and he spoke out widely on the most important questions of his day. He was a progressive thinker whose deep commitment to democracy led him to courageous stances on issues such as war, civil liberties, and racial, class, and gender inequalities.

This book gathers the clearest and most powerful of Dewey’s public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the challenges we face today. An introductory essay and short introductions to each of the texts discuss the current relevance and significance of Dewey’s work and legacy. The book includes forty-six essays on topics such as democracy in the United States, political power, education, economic justice, science and society, and philosophy and culture. These essays inspire optimism for the possibility of a more humane public and political culture, in which citizens share in the pursuit of lifelong education through participation in democratic life. America’s Public Philosopher reveals John Dewey as a powerful example for scholars seeking to address a wider audience and a much-needed voice for all readers in search of intellectual and moral leadership. ERIC THOMAS WEBER

Volume I: A Reader ERIC HAYOT, ANATOLY DETWYLER, AND LEA PAO, EDITORS

Volume II: Keywords MICHELE KENNERLY, SAMUEL FREDERICK, AND JONATHAN E. ABEL, EDITORS

For decades, we have been told we live in the “information age”—a time when disruptive technological advancement has reshaped the categories and social uses of knowledge and when quantitative assessment is increasingly privileged. Such methodologies and concepts of information are usually considered the provenance of the natural and social sciences. Yet the humanities should and do play an important role in interpreting and critiquing the historical, cultural, and conceptual nature of information.

These two volumes explore theories and histories of information from a humanistic perspective. Information: A Reader provides an introduction to the concept of information in historical, literary, and cultural studies. It features excerpts from more than forty texts by theorists and critics who have helped establish the notion of the “information age” or expand upon it. Bringing together essays by prominent critics, Information: Keywords describes and anticipates directions for how the humanities can contribute to our understanding of information from a range of theoretical, historical, and global perspectives. Together, these volumes set forth a major humanistic vision of the concept of information. ERIC HAYOT

A Community of Scholars

Seventy-Five Years of The University Seminars at Columbia THOMAS VINCIGUERRA, EDITOR CE LE B R AT ING A UNI Q U E CO LU M BI A I N ST I T U T I O N

The Columbia University Seminars, founded in 1945, represent a distinctive experiment in academia. Scholars from different disciplines and institutions, as well as practitioners and other experts, meet once a month through the academic year to study and discuss subjects, sometimes beyond their specialties. Through collegial discussion, participants learn from one another. Today, over ninety seminars are ongoing: some have outlived their founders, and others are just beginning.

A Community of Scholars is a seventy-fifth-anniversary celebration of the founding of The University Seminars. It brings together essays by seminar chairs and other leading participants that exemplify the diversity and vibrancy of these proceedings. Their topics are wide-ranging—the evolution of the labor movement, urban life, the politics and culture of Brazil, the Enlightenment, the prospects for world peace—but in each, a commitment to intellectual provocation and shared learning is on full display. An informative introduction explains how The Seminars came into being and why they continue to matter. The volume also features biographical sketches of Frank Tannenbaum, the Latin America scholar and criminologist who founded the Seminars, and his wife, the anthropologist Jane Belo, a close friend of Margaret Mead. Belo and Tannenbaum endowed The Seminars and allowed them to flourish. A remarkable testament to an unparalleled intellectual forum, A Community of Scholars allows readers to share in the eclectic spirit of The Seminars. THOMAS VINCIGUERRA,

“For seventy-five years The University Seminars at Columbia have had a powerful, if too often unacknowledged impact on the intellectual life of the city and the nation. In short essays relating the history of over a dozen seminars, this gem of a book reminds us, at a fraught time for the life of the mind, of the intellectual values so central to social progress and human understanding.” —Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor Emeritus of History, Columbia University

Alexandre Kojève was one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant and unconventional philosophers. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite. ALEXANDRE KOJÈVE

The Aesthetics of Asian Inscrutability During the Long Cold War SUNNY XIANG

“Tonal Intelligence is smart and theoretically sophisticated.” —Denise Cruz, author of Transpacific Femininities: The Making of the Modern Filipina

—Elizabeth Grosz, author of The Incorporeal: Ontology, Ethics, and the Limits of Materialism

Ada Smailbegović shows how twentiethand twenty-first-century writers have intermingled scientific methodologies with poetic form to reveal unfolding processes of change. Poetics of Liveliness investigates works such as Christian Bök’s insertion of a poetic text into the DNA code of living bacteria in order to generate a new poem in the shape of a protein molecule, Jen Bervin’s considerations of silk fibers and their use in biomedicine, Gertrude Stein’s examination of brain tissues in medical school, and Lisa Robertson’s studies of nineteenth-century meteorology.

Sunny Xiang offers a new way of understanding the American cold war in Asia by tracing aesthetic manifestations of “Oriental inscrutability” across a wide range of texts. She puts interrogation reports, policy memos, and field notes into conversation with novels, poems, documentaries, and mixed-media work by artists such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ha Jin, and Trinh T. Minh-ha. By reading both state records and aesthetic texts from these periods for their tone rather than their content, Xiang shows how bygone threats of Asian communism and emergent regimes of Asian capitalism have elicited distinct yet related anxieties about racial intelligibility.

Offering detailed introductions to fourteen films, this accessible study highlights the creative achievements of Chinese filmmakers in the decades leading up to 1949, when the Communists won the civil war and began nationalizing cultural industries.

Since the earliest days of the movie industry, Hollywood has mythologized itself through stories of stardom. A female protagonist escapes the confines of rural America in search of freedom in a western dream factory; a conceited idol falls from grace and discovers what true stardom means; or a fading star confronts Hollywood’s obsession with youth by embarking on a mission to reclaim her lost fame. Karen McNally traces the history of this genre from silent cinema to contemporary film and television to show its significance to both Hollywood and broader American culture. She provides close readings of a wide range of films, from Souls for Sale (1923) to A Star is Born (1937 and 1954) and Judy (2019). KAREN M c NALLY

—Choice

—Richard Rushton, Lancaster University

Human-animal studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the spaces that animals occupy in human social and cultural worlds. In Animals and Society, Margo DeMello provides a broad overview of this rapidly growing field. This second edition is fully updated and expanded throughout, enhancing the book’s relevance for student and activist readers alike. It includes many new international examples, all-new case studies, and updated suggested supplementary readings.

From mainstream blockbusters to art house cinema, narrative and narration are the driving forces that organize a film. Yet attempts to explain these forces are often mired in notoriously complex terminology and dense theory. Warren Buckland provides a clear and accessible introduction that explains how narrative and narration work using straightforward language. Narrative and Narration distills the basic components of cinematic storytelling into a set of core concepts. WARREN BUCKLAND

PHILOSOPHY

The Betrayal of Substance

Death, Literature, and Sexual Difference in Hegel’s “Phenomenology of Spirit”

Critique on the Couch

Why Critical Theory Needs Psychoanalysis AMY ALLEN

MARY C. RAWLINSON “A remarkable achievement of sustained attention, “The Betrayal of Substance provides one of the most thorough and careful readings of Hegel’s

patient thought, and persuasive argumentation.” —Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley

Phenomenology of Spirit to date. This book’s project is distinct, and its voice is singular.” —Todd McGowan, author of Universality and Identity Politics

Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit exerts a unique influence on contemporary philosophy. Mary C. Rawlinson offers a critical analysis that exposes three crucial elisions: Hegel’s effacements of sexual difference, human mortality, and literary style. Demonstrating how the power of Hegel’s phenomenological method goes beyond even Hegel’s own project of a pure logic, The Betrayal of Substance is a magisterial rereading of this challenging masterwork. MARY C. RAWLINSON

Does critical theory still need psychoanalysis? In Critique on the Couch, Amy Allen offers a cogent and convincing defense of its ongoing relevance. She draws on Freud, Klein, and Lacan to develop a more realistic strand of psychoanalytic thinking that centers on notions of loss, negativity, ambivalence, and mourning. Far from leading to despair, such an understanding of human subjectivity functions as a foundation of creativity, productive self-transformation, and progressive social change. AMY ALLEN

In the aftermath of the cataclysmic Maoist period, three Tibetan Buddhist scholars living and working in the People’s Republic of China became intellectual heroes. Renowned as the “Three Polymaths,” Tséten Zhabdrung (1910–1985), Mugé Samten (1914–1993), and Dungkar Lozang Trinlé (1927–1997) earned this symbolic title for their efforts to keep the lamp of the Dharma lit even in the darkest hour of Tibetan history.

Chinese poetry has a long history of interaction with the visual arts. What happened when the Chinese poetic tradition encountered photography, a transformative technology that reshaped seeing and representing the world?

Top Graduate Zhang Xie is the first extant play in the Chinese southern dramatic tradition and a milestone in the history of Chinese literature. It relates the story of a talented scholar who sets off for the capital to take the imperial exams. Robbed and beaten by a bandit, he meets an orphaned girl who nurses him back to health and whom he marries. Once he takes first place in the exams, however, he comes to regret the marriage, setting in motion a series of decisions with disastrous consequences. REGINA S. LLAMAS

YURI PINES “Kingly Splendor is a deeply researched, lucid, and “A magnificent work from Yuri Pines, a scholar who knows the history of the Zhou period as well as anyone currently writing in English.” —Stephen Durrant, University of Oregon

Zhou History Unearthed offers both a novel understanding of early Chinese historiography and a fully annotated translation of Xinian (String of Years), the most notable historical manuscript from the state of Chu. Yuri Pines elucidates the importance of Xinian and other recently discovered texts for our understanding of history writing in Zhou China (1046–255 BCE). This major work of scholarship and translation sheds new light on early Chinese history, demonstrating how new archaeological findings are changing our knowledge of China’s pre-imperial days.

The Book of Lord Shang: Apologetics of State Power in

The Western Han dynasty (202 BCE–9 CE) was a foundational period for the artistic culture of ancient China. Many of the finest objects of the Western Han have been excavated from the tombs of kings, who administered local provinces on behalf of the emperors. Allison R. Miller paints a new picture of elite art production by revealing the contributions of the kings to Western Han artistic culture.

Howard Chiang proposes a new paradigm for doing transgender history in which geopolitics assumes central importance. Defined as the antidote to transphobia, transtopia challenges a minoritarian view of transgender experience and makes room for the variability of transness on a historical continuum.

Global Encyclopedia of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,

For over five hundred years, Muslim dynasties ruled parts of northern and central India. Scholars have long drawn upon works written in Persian and Arabic about this epoch, yet they have neglected the many histories that India’s learned elite wrote about Indo-Muslim rule in Sanskrit. Audrey Truschke offers a groundbreaking analysis of these Sanskrit texts that sheds light on both historical Muslim political leaders on the subcontinent and how premodern Sanskrit intellectuals perceived the “Muslim Other.”

networks and business institutions.” —Priscilla Roberts, editor of Hong Kong in the Cold War

Between 1949 and 1997, Hong Kong transformed from a struggling British colonial outpost into a global financial capital. Peter E. Hamilton delivers a new narrative of this metamorphosis, revealing Hong Kong both as a critical engine in the expansion and remaking of postwar global capitalism and as the linchpin of Sino-U.S. trade since the 1970s. He explores the role of an overlooked transnational Chinese elite who fled to Hong Kong amid war and revolution. PETER E. HAMILTON

is an assistant professor in modern

Chinese history at Trinity College Dublin.

By the early 1970s, Japan had become an affluent consumer society, riding a growing economy to widely shared prosperity. Japan, 1972 takes an early-seventies year as a vantage point for understanding how Japanese society came to terms with cultural change. Yoshikuni Igarashi examines a broad selection of popular film, television, manga, and other media, exposing the political underpinnings of mass culture and investigating deeper anxieties over questions of agency and masculinity.

At the close of the nineteenth century, Confucian revivalists gained control of Xinjiang and undertook a program to transform its inhabitants from Turkicspeaking Muslims into Chinese-speaking Confucians. Eric Schluessel explores this encounter between Chinese power and a Muslim society through the struggles of ordinary people in the oasis of Turpan. At a time when understanding the roots of the modern relationship between Uyghurs and China has taken on new urgency, Land of Strangers illuminates a crucial moment of social and cultural change.

The St. Croix–born, Harlem-based Hubert Harrison (1883–1927) was a brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and activist who combined class consciousness and antiwhite-supremacist race consciousness into a potent political radicalism. In this second volume of his acclaimed biography, Jeffrey B. Perry traces the final decade of Harrison’s life, from 1918 to 1927. JEFFREY B. PERRY

is an independent scholar and archivist.

He is the author of Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem

—Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation

The relationship between race and capitalism is one of the most enduring and controversial historical debates. The concept of racial capitalism offers a way out of this impasse. This book brings together for the first time distinguished and rising scholars to consider the utility of the concept across historical settings. The contributors consider and challenge how some claims about the history and nature of capitalism are universalized while others remain marginalized. DESTIN JENKINS

Why do rebel groups frequently clash instead of cooperating against their shared enemy, the state? Examining the dynamics of civil wars in Iraq, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, and Syria, Costantino Pischedda argues that infighting is a calculated response by rebel groups to perceived opportunities and vulnerabilities. Counterintuitively, he finds that rebels sharing an ethnic identity are especially prone to violent conflict, as they see each other as both potential existential threats and enticing opportunities for expansion.

He explores how Oath Keepers draws on core American political values and pivotal historical moments of conflict and crisis to cast its adherents as defenders of liberty. The first book-length investigation of the contemporary patriot/militia movement, Oath Keepers sheds new light on what animates groups that pose a growing threat to American security and political culture.

For four decades, the number of conservative parents who homeschool their children has risen. Heath Brown provides a novel analysis of the homeschooling movement and its central role in conservative efforts to shrink the public sector. He traces the aftereffects of the passage of state homeschool policies and the results of ongoing conservative education activism, finding that by opting out of public education services in favor of at-home provision, homeschoolers have furthered conservative goals of reducing the size and influence of government.

How Companies and Politics Reshaped Economic Thought

“Trade and Nation bridges the divide between social science and history, asking why modern Western economic theory first developed in England rather than elsewhere.” —Phil Withington, author of Society in Early Modern England: The Vernacular Origins of Some Powerful Ideas

Network Organization of a Merchant Elite Under the Ancien Régime

“This is a terrific book, full of historical detail about an interesting hybrid form of commercial-military ‘market’—the early modern French privateers, plus network analysis of the evolution of voyage partnership networks over one hundred years.” —John F. Padgett, coauthor of The Emergence of Organizations and Markets

In the seventeenth century, English economic theorists lost interest in the moral status of exchange and became increasingly concerned with the roots of national prosperity. This shift marked the origins of classical political economy and provided the foundation for the contemporary discipline of economics. Emily Erikson brings together historical, comparative, and computational methods to explain the institutional forces that brought about this transformation. EMILY ERIKSON

sor in the School of Management by courtesy, and Joseph C.

Henning Hillmann examines the merchant community of Saint-Malo, Brittany, a key port in the French Atlantic economy, to shed light on the local networks that linked commerce and conflict in early modern Europe. Combining rich descriptions of privateering campaigns with quantitative network analysis of partnership ties over more than a century, The Corsairs of SaintMalo offers a new understanding of the local organizational foundations of early modern capitalist development.

COLUMBIA BOOKS ON ARCHITECTURE AND THE CITY

Paths to Prison

On the Architecture of Carcerality ISABELLE KIRKHAM-LEWITT, EDITOR

As Angela Davis has proposed, the “path to prison,” which disproportionately affects communities of color, is most acutely guided by the conditions of daily life. Architecture, fundamental to shaping these conditions of civil existence, must be interrogated for its involvement along this diffuse and mobile path. Paths to Prison aims to expand how the built environment’s relationship to and participation in the carceral state is understood in architecture. The essays in this book implicate architecture in the more longstanding and pervasive legacies of racialized coercion in the United States—and follow the premise that to understand how the prison enacts its violence in the present one must shift the epistemological frame to places, discourses, and narratives assumed to be outside of the sphere of incarceration.

With essays by Adrienne Brown, Stephen Dillon, Jarrett M. Drake, Sable Else Smith, James Graham, Leslie Lodwick, Dylan Rodríguez, Anne Spice, Brett Story, Jasmine Syedullah, and Mabel O. Wilson. ISABELLE KIRKHAM-LEWITT

The riot is an extraordinary setting that has played a pivotal role in the permanent confrontation between dissent and power over centuries. The deeper crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tensions have convulsed us into an “age of riots.” As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode and hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed only serves to reveal the cracks in governability, Nights of the Dispossessed brings together artistic works, political texts, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to “sense,” chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings—evoking a phenomenology of the multitude of surplus population.

Architecture is a constant presence in the study of human interaction—acting as both the ground on which human social behavior is performed and a means of shaping subjectivity. Proxemics was an attempt to visualize and instrumentalize these dynamics, appealing to both the social sciences and the emerging field of environmental design. Founded by the anthropologist Edward T. Hall and taking shape between the departments of architecture and anthropology at the Illinois Institute of Technology, proxemics developed amid Cold War political tensions and intense social and civil unrest.

Proxemics and the Architecture of Social Interaction presents selections from Hall’s extensive archive of visual materials alongside a critical analysis that traces transformations in the fields of design and science. Together these materials illuminate a moment in American history when new spatial practices arose to challenge the environmental conditions of cultural, political, and racial identity.

This manual is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in using this emergent planning approach, which is effective at the local, regional, or organizational level. Through the XSP process, stakeholders envision and develop various potential futures (i.e., scenarios) and consider how to measure and prepare for each rather than working toward a single shared vision for the future. Through instructive case studies, recommendations, sample workshop agendas, and more, this manual equips would-be practitioners with the background knowledge, procedural guidance, and practical strategies to implement this planning tool successfully.

Modern Chinese History

Revised and expanded second edition

Shintō in the History and Culture of Japan

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

DAVID KENLEY

RONALD S. GREEN

Modern Chinese History provides a concise narrative of Chinese history from 1644 to the present. It can easily supplement any history, international studies, cultural studies, or Asian studies course. It can also provide valuable background information necessary to understand contemporary Chinese politics, society, and economics. General readers wanting quickly to understand the collapse of imperial China and the rise of communism will welcome this eminently readable text.

After Japanese emperor Naruhito ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne in 2019, he preformed a secretive ritual funded by the state by offering newly harvested rice to the Shintō sun goddess Amaterasu, mythological progenitor of the imperial family, raising controversy and puzzlement both inside Japan and out. This book is a concise overview of Shintō through a survey of its key concepts, related archeological finds, central mythology, significant cultural sites, political dimensions, and historical developments. Its goal is to promote an understanding of Shintō as an enduring cultural phenomenon central to Japan past and present. Readers discover how Shintō honors nature and reveres mountains and rivers as living entities; why it famously asserts that eight million nature spirits, known as kami, surround the Japanese people in their homeland; and how politics have always been central to these positions.

A Short Event History of Air Pollution

Waiting Town

HANSEN, AND RUNE SVARVERUD

LISA BJÖRKMAN

The Great Smog of China traces Chinese air pollution events dating back more than 2,000 years. Based on fieldwork, interviews, and text studies, the book offers a short and concise history of selected air pollution incidents that prompted different kinds of responses and forms of engagement in Chinese society. The three authors, from the disciplines of anthropology, China studies, and political science, discuss what it takes to transform people’s experiences of health and environmentally related risks of pollution into broader forms of sociopolitical agency.

Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research in the Indian city of Mumbai, Waiting Town is a formally experimental book about how we come to know the worlds about which we write. The narrative follows the author’s fieldnotes and diaries through a series of ethnographic puzzles that emerge in the wake of a high-profile mega-infrastructure project that became an internationally celebrated prototype and model. Waiting Town complicates this celebratory narrative by revealing the material wreckage wrought by the city’s “world-class” ambitions. At the same time, it has a larger story to tell about truth and falsehood, time and memory—and about the promises and pitfalls of knowledge production, interpretation, and representation more generally.

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

What will the world look like in the future? How will people think and act in that future world? What constitutes the allures and hidden dangers of being modern? These are questions science fiction is uniquely equipped to entertain, and because of this, the genre took on a seriousness and significance in twentieth-century China rarely seen in other parts of the world. Since its introduction via translation at the beginning of the twentieth century as a new type of fiction bearing the badge of modernity, science fiction in China has always been associated with aspirations for membership in the modern world. Found in Translation investigates Chinese science fiction as a phenomenon of world literature. It highlights the ways science fiction has intervened in critical debates on nationalism, realism, humanism, and environmentalism in twentieth-century China. JING JIANG

“Tribe” is one of the oldest words in Western languages. It has now globalized. Discourses in and on Asia frequently employ the label “tribe” as a loanword or in an Asian-language equivalent. This may be positive, used to market crafts and fabrics; it may be neutral, used in legal and administrative practice and in conflict zones; or it may be a pragmatic descriptor of a social organization and military capacity. The name has persisted through fifty years of academic denunciation of its emptiness. This book analyzes how the word “tribe” has morphed and spread through the centuries. It goes behind the label to bring out the social, military, and environmental settings that gave it its various meanings. SUMIT GUHA

In recent years, both scholars and the general public have become increasingly fascinated by the role of religion in modern Chinese life. However, the bulk of attention has been devoted to changes caused by the repression of the Maoist era and subsequent religious revival. The Fifty Years That Changed Chinese Religion breaks new ground by systematically demonstrating that equally important transformative processes occurred during the period covering the last decade of the Qing dynasty and the entire Republican period. Focusing on Shanghai and Zhejiang, this book delves into the workings of social structures, religious practices, and personal commitments as they evolved during this period of wrenching changes.

Portal presents the personal diary of Achintya Bose, the owner of a small photography studio in Calcutta, maintained sporadically from 1994 to 1996, before his sudden unexplained disappearance. The diary is a fictional “found archive” that contains his collection of photographic prints, letters, pages torn from books, newspaper and magazine cuttings, declassified police records, Polaroids, and print advertisements. Through these documents spanning the twentieth century, Bose attempts to trace photographic “evidence” and information about an elusive woman who seemingly does not age over the course of a hundred years. His search is also a journey through the local history of vernacular photography and regional publications that reflect popular culture, politics, fashion, design, advertising, and other iconography and their transformations over time.

The essays in this volume document various episodes of resistance highlighting the role of freedom fighters who inspired generations of Indians by their sacrifices. They discuss the Vellore Mutiny, the Chittagong Uprising, the NonCooperation Movement and the militants of Bengal, Gandhi’s attitude to the execution of Bhagat Singh, and the Telengana and Kakdwip rising, among other topics.

The questions Gandhi asked about imperial nations and how free nations should be made remain at the core of challenges to casteist, racist, patriarchal, and sectarian regimes.

This book examines Gandhi’s struggle with the burden of received colonial historiography, legal systems, scriptural texts, and racialized and patriarchal vocabulary in the attempt to confront colonial oppression and social exclusion. The openings and impasses, thresholds and limits, successes and failures are equally instructive when read as a series of resolved and unresolved contradictions.

Nagarik

Ghatak’s Partition Quartet: The Screenplays Volume 1

IRA BHASKAR, EDITOR Translated by Rani Ray

Set in Calcutta in the immediate aftermath of Partition, Ritwik Ghatak’s Nagarik (released in 1977 after Ghatak’s death in 1976) chronicles the struggles of a refugee family from East Bengal as they desperately strive to survive in a metropolis that is unable to address the necessities of thousands of people pouring in from across the border. Unemployment, starvation, incessant dislocation, and the yearning for stability and a home mark the lives of the refugee families in this film. Ghatak was to return to the theme in three other films that have been known as the Partition Trilogy—Meghe Dhaka Tara, Komal Gandhar, and Subarnarekha. With this translation of the screenplay of Nagarik, it will be clear that Ghatak’s Partition films form a quartet. IRA BHASKAR

Film Curatorship

PAOLO CHERCHI USAI, DAVID FRANCIS, ALEXANDER HORWATH, AND MICHAEL LOEBENSTEIN

What are the major issues and challenges that film archives, cinémathèques, and film museums are bound to face in the digital age and at a time when there is an expectation of access on demand? What is curatorship, and what does it imply in the context of film preservation and presentation? Is there a concept of “cinema event” that transcends the idea of film as “content” or “art” in the era of information?

“A fascinating examination of the nature of cinema itself.” —Sight & Sound

Film Curatorship is an experiment: a collective text, a montage of dialogues, conversations, and exchanges among four professionals representing three generations of film archivists and curators.

Film Works

Das filmische Werk [German-language Edition] ESZTER KONDOR, MICHAEL LOEBENSTEIN, PETER PAKESCH, AND HANS WERNER POSCHAUKO

Maria Lassnig (1919–2014) is internationally recognized as one of the most important painters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The leitmotif of her painting, the act of rendering her “body awareness” visible, found additional expression in film in the early 1970s. During her time in New York, Lassnig studied animation at the School of Visual Arts and began to film in 8mm and 16mm. While several of these New York films have long since been part of her canonical works, many remained unfinished. In 2018, this filmic legacy was restored and in many cases completed according to Lassnig’s original concept and instructions by two close collaborators, the artists Hans Werner Poschauko and Mara Mattuschka, and presented to great international acclaim.

EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY

WIESŁAW KRAJKA

This collection of studies examines the various types and uses of ideas of “the other” and othering in Joseph Conrad’s fiction. It offers examinations of different aspects of the colonial other both in Africa and Latin America, including a personal reminiscence of American imperialism by a descendant of a character mentioned in Conrad’s fiction.

The first three papers offer insights into Conrad’s artistic presentation of both the historical and concrete side of capitalism and imperialism as well as the universal aspects of these social-politicaleconomic formations. The next four studies theorize the colonial other: from European/Western perspectives and Third World perspectives. The final four papers concern otherness in seamanship, in terms of the imperial other and alterity, and othering by gender.

The book is volume 29 of the series Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives. WIESŁAW KRAJKA

The Aesthetics of Post-Digital Imaging

Between Camera Traps and Virtual Reality ANNA NACHER

This book creatively maps the recent developments in the field of post-digital imaging, spanning the broad spectrum of visual production: from artistic forms of techno-ecological practice to “operational images” of ecological monitoring to some examples of virtual reality. Addressing the condition of post-digitality as the consequence of the fact that computing technologies have become inseparable from the embodied practices of everyday life, it demonstrates how imaging born among physical space, computing technology, and the activity of its users establishes hybrid ontological coalitions. The analyses offered in the book cover the novelty of visual forms born between physical reality and networked digital media: new media art, environmental protection, and ecological research, as well as some examples of virtual reality.

PETR SVOBODA

These two volumes examine the future of management in a rapidly changing world. This first explores what has been dubbed Industry 4.0, the possibility of interconnecting devices, giving them the ability to make autonomous decisions, and the effects on other processes within an organization. The second considers change management in the context of entrepreneurial opportunities and organizational flexibility.

The book addresses the issue of intergenerational learning in a virtual world created by information and communication technology (ICT) and the role of ICT in an educational environment. The findings highlight that ICT-supported intergenerational learning is a significant sociocultural platform for knowledge exchange, reducing intergenerational and cultural distance. It creates a sense of belonging, ensures mutual support, and encourages better understanding between young immigrants and older citizens.

Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence PAMELA PALMATER

In a moment where unlawful pipelines are built on Indigenous territories, the RCMP make illegal arrests of land defenders on unceded lands, and anti-Indigenous racism permeates social media, the renowned lawyer, author, speaker, and activist Pamela Palmater returns to wade through media misinformation and government propaganda and get to the heart of key issues lost in the noise.

F O R S A L E O N LY I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , A U S T R A L I A / N E W Z E A L A N D , A N D A S I A

“In this moment of multiple existential crises, from climate change to species extinction, ocean degradation, toxic pollution, and so on, the Indigenous struggle to regain authority over land provides an opportunity to see our place in the world differently. To me, that is what Palmater’s fiery rhetoric is calling for, a chance to see the world through the lenses of different values.” —David Suzuki, academic, science broadcaster, and environmental activist

Warrior Life is the second collection of writings by Palmater. In keeping with her previous works, numerous op-eds, media commentaries, YouTube channel videos, and podcasts, Palmater is fiercely anticolonial, antiracist, and more crucial than ever before. Palmater addresses a range of Indigenous issues—empty political promises, ongoing racism, sexualized genocide, government lawlessness, and the lie that is reconciliation—making complex political and legal implications accessible to all of us. From one of the most important, inspiring, and fearless voices on Indigenous rights, decolonization, Canadian politics, social justice, earth justice, and beyond, Warrior Life is an unflinching critique of the colonial project that is Canada and a rallying cry for Indigenous peoples and allies alike to forge a path toward a decolonial future through resistance and resurgence.

enous governance at Ryerson University. She is the author of Indigenous Nationhood and Beyond Blood.

Land-Water-Sky / Ndè-T1-Yat’a KATŁĮÀ

A vexatious shapeshifter walks among humans. Shadowy beasts skulk at the edges of the woods. A ghostly apparition haunts a lonely stretch of highway. Spirits and legends rise and join together to protect the north.

Land-Water-Sky/Ndè-T1-Yat’a is the debut novel from Dene author Katłįà. Set in Canada’s far north, this layered composite novel traverses space and time, from a community being stalked by a dark presence, a group of teenagers out for a dangerous joyride, to an archeological site on a mysterious island that holds a powerful secret.

“In the era of precontact, ancient stories were deeply ingrained in the landscape. They inspire traditional storytellers to pass on to current times, a frame to support today’s tellings. This writing is an extension of snippets of stories heard, the collisions of changing times of life in the raw, taking many forms of intrigue, an ongoing tradition, a shapeshifting.” —John B. Zoe, traditional knowledge holder from Tlicho Territory, senior advisor with the Tłı̨chǫ Government, chairperson of Dedats’eetsaa: the Tłı̨chǫ Research and Training Institute

Riveting, subtle, and unforgettable, this book gives us a unique perspective into what the world might look like today if Indigenous legends walked among us, disguised as humans, and ensures that the spiritual significance and teachings behind the stories of Indigenous legends are respected and honored. KATŁĮÀ

is a Dene woman from the Northwest Territories. Previously

serving as a councillor for her First Nation, Yellowknives Dene, she is an activist, poet, and columnist and a law student in Indigenous Legal Orders. Katłįà writes about Indigenous injustices with a focus on the north.

“This book brought back a lot of memories for me of when Elders used to tell stories sitting around and visiting my parents and telling stories about nąhgąąÌ. The story was so descriptive the way the Elders told stories. MahsıÌ Cho for keeping our stories alive.” —Maro Sundberg, executive director at Goyatiko Language Society

Take Back the Fight

Finding Our Niche

Toward a Restorative Human Ecology

NORA LORETO

PHILIP A. LORING

Two decades of neoliberalism have destroyed a structured, panregional feminist movement in Canada. As a result, government and corporate leaders have co-opted feminism to turn it into something that can be bought, sold, or used to attract voters.

Philip A. Loring helps guide us in reconciling our damaging settler-colonial histories and tremendous environmental missteps in favor of a more sustainable and just vision for the future. Drawing from numerous cases around the world, from cattle ranchers on the Burren in Ireland to clam gardeners in British Columbia and protectors of an accidental wetland in northwest Mexico, Loring brings the reader through a difficult journey of reconciliation, a journey that leads to a more optimistic understanding of human nature and the prospects for people and nature to thrive together. Interwoven are Loring’s personal struggles to reconcile his identity as a white settler living and working on stolen Indigenous lands. Finding Our Niche is a hopeful exploration of humanity’s place in the natural world, focused on how we can heal and reconcile our human ecologies to achieve more sustainable and just societies.

In Take Back the Fight, Nora Loreto examines the state of modern feminism in Canada and argues that feminists must organize to take back feminism from politicians, business leaders, and journalists who distort and obscure its power. Furthermore, Loreto urges today’s activists to overcome the challenges that sank the movement decades ago, to stop centering whiteness as the quintessential woman’s experience, and to find ways to rebuild the communities that have been obliterated by neoliberal economic policies.

A Mechanism of Decolonization SARAH MACKENZIE

Despite a recent increase in the productivity and popularity of Indigenous playwrights in Canada, most critical and academic attention has been devoted to the work of male dramatists, leaving female writers on the margins. Sarah MacKenzie addresses this critical gap by focusing on plays by the Indigenous women Monique Mojica, Marie Clements, and Yvette Nolan. MacKenzie explores representations of gendered colonialist violence in order to determine the varying ways in which these representations are employed subversively and informatively by Indigenous women. These plays provide an avenue for individual and potential cultural healing by deconstructing some of the harmful ideological work performed by colonial misrepresentations of Indigeneity and demonstrate the strength and persistence of Indigenous women.

Extractivisms

Politics, Economy, and Ecology EDUARDO GUDYNAS

Ventures such as large-scale open-pit mining, oil extraction in tropical areas, and the spread of monocultures are overwhelming nature and communities in the global south at a shocking rate. These and other such forms of natural-resource appropriation are known as extractivisms. This introductory book adopts an interdisciplinary and critical perspective, incorporating contributions from economics, politics, ecology, and more. Eduardo Gudynas explores negative local effects such as ecological and health degradation and violence, along with spillover effects that redefine democracy and justice. He discusses the Latin American peculiarities of extractivisms produced both by conservative and new-left governments, making clear that it has deep roots in culture and ideology, and offers solutions for the future.

Contributors to this edited collection subvert the colonial relationship between iyiniw (Cree or neēhiyaw) peoples and the systems of child welfare in Canada, showing that the problem is the prevalence of the Western universe in child welfare services. Instead, child welfare for Indigenous peoples must be informed and guided by Indigenous, or iyiniw, practices and understandings.

Stienstra demonstrates that disability rights enable people with disabilities to make decisions about their lives and future, claim rights on their own behalf, and participate actively in all areas of Canadian society. Disability rights can and do increase access to and inclusion in critical areas like education, employment, transportation, telecommunications, and health care. Additionally, Stienstra identifies new approaches and practices, such as universal design, disability supports, and income supports, that can transform Canadian society to be more inclusive and accommodating for everyone.

Lost in Growth

Finding Our Way on a Finite Planet JONATHAN TEMPLE

F O R S A L E O N LY I N N O R T H A N D S O U T H A M E R I C A

Few ideas are more central to the modern world than economic growth. It is linked to the advancement of knowledge, improvements in technology, and higher incomes. The rate of growth shapes our everyday experience and our expectations for the future. Growth has become one of the main organizing principles for our societies. Many politicians are keen to tell us how they will restore growth, and some use a lack of growth to justify cuts to public services. But where does this growth come from, and how is it measured? How have some countries become richer than others? What are the consequences for the environment when growth demands ever more resources? Will growth threaten natural capital and worsen climate change? What are the prospects for further growth around the world? Jonathan Temple explores these questions and investigates why growth may seem essential and what the pursuit of “more” is likely to mean in the twenty-first century. JONATHAN TEMPLE

is an independent economist. He was

formerly professor of economics at the University of Bristol.

Financial Inclusion SAMUEL KIRWAN

Limited access to financial services, such as banking and credit, impedes economic development in impoverished communities, which has prompted policy makers, private institutions, and NGOs to develop strategies to address financial inclusion. Drawing on a series of illustrative case studies, Samuel Kirwan examines the various types of policy implementation and considers the social impact and efficacy of such economic interventions. From exploring India’s microcredit industry to explaining the rise of mobile banking in South Africa, the book employs a social science tool box to make sense of the various policy areas and initiatives involved in confronting economic inequality. While acknowledging the risks and pitfalls of government-backed and private financialinclusion practices, Kirwan makes a strong case for the value of financial inclusion both as a conceptual term and as a policy tool.

is a Leverhulme Early Career Research

Fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Warwick. He is researching the sociology of everyday indebtedness.

The Chinese Economy STEPHEN L. MORGAN

The book examines debates about the Chinese economic story from the time of the great divergence to the present day and considers wider issues beyond the usual GDP indicator. The book concludes with a look at China’s future, including concerns around the shrinking workforce (and rising dependency ratio), and at innovation—vital to future progress—and productivity, as well as its ambitious international projection (e.g. “One Belt One Road”) and plans to fashion an advanced economy, not just the world’s second largest.

Options for Britain

MARTIN WESTLAKE, EDITOR

In the debates about the UK’s future relationship with the European Union, all sorts of possible alternatives have been bandied about, from “Singapore on Thames” to “Canada Plus,” from “Switzerland” to “Ukraine,” from “Norway” to “Australia.” But what do these alternative relationship models really consist of, and would they really be viable for the UK? Martin Westlake brings together distinguished practitioners and experts to examine the various options, real and potential, and to consider whether they would in fact offer a workable solution for the continued relationship between the EU and post-Brexit Britain.

Credit Rating Agencies

The European Central Bank

Credit rating agencies (CRAs) assess the creditworthiness of debt issuers on financial markets. They are private companies, and the ratings they issue are judgments about the prospect of repayment of debt in time and in full. The financial crisis of 2008 thrust the CRAs into the spotlight as their highly rated financial products turned out to be toxic assets. CRAs were blamed not only for their excessively optimistic ratings but also for their complicity in creating them.

The European Central Bank (ECB) administers monetary policy for the eurozone and is tasked with maintaining price stability by keeping inflation below 2 percent. This brief mandate belies the complexity of managing the monetary policy for the 19 member states of the euro, not to mention the political implications thereof. This short book sets out the history, development, and day-to-day workings of a key institutional pillar of the European Union. It assesses its work, its independence, the policies and instruments at its disposal, and the evolution of its role during the eurozone crisis of 2010. This is a welcome and succinct overview for students and researchers looking for an accessible introduction to the role and operation of the ECB.

Giulia Mennillo shows that as constitutive actors of global financial capitalism, CRAs have a social and political relevance that reaches well beyond finance into areas of transport, infrastructure, education, and health and that their impact is emblematic of the increasing financialization of our world.

The Labour Party Under Jeremy Corbyn

Europe and the British Left OWEN PARKER, MATTHEW BISHOP, AND

ANDREW CRINES, EDITOR

NICOLE LINDSTROM

Jeremy Corbyn proved to be one of Labour’s most popular most divisive leaders among the membership. In this carefully researched collection of essays, Corbyn’s influence on and legacy for the party are assessed. Each chapter focuses on an aspect of his time in office, his approach, his political thought, and policy formation in an attempt to posit what constitutes Corbynism. Chapters assess his leadership style, his attitude toward anti-Semitism and women in the party, as well as his controversial foreign policy positions.

Just as it has for the Conservatives and the political right in Britain, the European question has divided the Labour Party and the progressive left for over fifty years. This book argues that the debate is rooted in a flawed analysis of the global political economy and the EU and of Britain’s place within both. It makes the case for an approach that is critical of the European Union yet pragmatically embraces its potential to enable a radical internationalist politics.

Leung Ping Kwan is one of Hong Kong’s most acclaimed poets. His poems display a unique blend of the literary and the downto-earth, the modern and the traditional, the serious and the humorous, the local and the universal. In his own words, “I want my poems about things to be a dialogue with the world, to learn and be inspired by the shapes, smells, and colors of things.” This carefully curated collection is arranged under ten thematic sections: Lotus Leaves, Hong Kong, Macao, Foodscape, After the Book of Songs, Strange Tales: After Pu Songling, Clothink, Museum Pieces, Places and Friends, and Bitter-Melon and Others. These translated poems are a celebration of the continuing legacy of a remarkable Hong Kong poet. LEUNG PING KWAN

“I have drawn on magical realism to explore the absurdity of Hong Kong,” Leung Ping Kwan wrote of the story “See Mun and the Dragon” (1975), which uses a simple, clipped style. His later story “Drowned Souls” (2007) was written in a more symbolic, lyrical, and complex manner. Although the two stories are separated by over thirty years and are in many ways very different, dragons play a prominent part in both, symbolizing the author’s idea of freedom and liberation.

The Drunkard

Translated by Christina Sanderson

Edited by Nick Hordern

XI XI

XI XI,

pseudonym of Cheung Yin, was born in Shanghai in

1938 and moved to Hong Kong with her family in 1950. She became a teacher and increasingly concentrated on her career as a writer, winning many literary prizes, including the 2018 Newman Prize for Chinese literature at the University of Oklahoma. CHRISTINA SANDERSON

Translated by Charlotte Yiu

The Drunkard is one of the first stream-ofconsciousness novels written in Chinese, originally published in 1962 as a serial. As the unnamed narrator, a writer at odds with a philistine world, sinks to his drunken nadir, his plight can be seen to represent that of a whole intelligentsia, a whole culture, degraded by the brutal forces of history. The often surrealistic description of the narrator’s inexorable descent through the seedy bars and nightclubs of Hong Kong is counterpointed by a series of wide-ranging literary essays, analyzing the Chinese classical tradition, the popular culture of China and the West, and the modernist movement in Western and Chinese literature.

1948 and in 1957 settled in Hong Kong. His short story “Interis a PhD candidate at the Austra-

For several decades Xi Xi has been widely known for her award-winning poetry and fiction. In this book, she writes about the teddy bears she began making in 2005, after treatment for cancer, in order to improve the mobility of her right hand. She made the bears herself from scratch, choosing some of her favorite characters from history and legend, such as the Taoist philosopher Master Zhuang, the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan, and Beauty and the Beast. She also created exquisite items of clothing for them and wove a series of delightfully witty essays around them.

The memoir Ordinary Days by the scholar and critic Leo Ou-fan Lee and his wife, Esther Lee Yuk Ying, brings an intensely personal touch. With disarming candor, Leo and Esther lay bare their hearts to share their story of love and suffering, charting in a series of memorable chapters their spiritual quest. Set partly against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s turbulent recent years, partly in the far-flung diaspora of the Chinese intelligentsia, this is a revealing record of the inner life of a highly cultivated modern Chinese couple.

This anthology of essays from Hong Kong and the diaspora, ranging across the past hundred and seventy years, records the intellectual ferment that has characterized the city since its founding in 1842, sometimes restless and questioning, sometimes meditative and lyrical, buoyed by an all-pervasive and indomitable spirit of freedom.

Ukraine in History and Stories

Essays by Ukrainian Intellectuals

VOLODYMYR YERMOLENKO, EDITOR Foreword by Peter Pomerantsev and Andriy Kulakov “This book includes everyone from internationally renowned academics to never-before-translated poets. [It] gives Ukrainians a chance to explain their country themselves, and the Ukraine that emerges is are undergoing identity crises—not least the United States.” —Peter Pomerantsev, journalist, author, and TV producer, The American Interest

This collection of texts by contemporary Ukrainian writers, historians, philosophers, political analysts, and opinion leaders combines reflections on Ukraine’s history— or histories—and analyses of the present as well as conceptual ideas and life stories. The authors present a multifaceted image of Ukrainian memory and reality: from the Holodomor to Maidan, from Russian aggression to cultural diversity, from the depth of the past to the complexity of the present.

“A unique history. Anybody who wants to get involved with Ukraine ought to have it.” —Hillel Ticktin, emeritus professor of Marxist studies, University of Glasgow

The essays in this book explore the major developments, both domestic and international, that shaped the first quarter century of Ukraine’s independence: the simultaneous construction of a nation-state and the privatization of its economy; formal democratization alongside the capture of state institutions by oligarchs; the impact of the financial crises of 1997 and 2008; the mass revolts in 2004 and 2014 against corruption and injustice; and the beginning of Russian military intervention.

RUSSIAN STATE ARCHIVE OF SOCIAL

Essays and Lectures by Merab Mamardashvili

Edited by Julia Sushytska and Alisa Slaughter

AND POLITICAL HISTORY (RGASPI)

A Soviet general who fought in the Battle of Moscow and the siege of Leningrad, Andrey Vlasov (1901–1946) was captured by Nazi troops and then defected to the Third Reich. After the war, he was tried for treason and executed by Soviet authorities. With this publication, which draws on the archives of Russia, Belarus, Germany, and the United States, the English-speaking audience can for the first time access the most important documents on this topic. Volume 1 comprises archival documents on Vlasov’s activities from 1942 to 1945. Volume 2 explores the Soviet investigations of Vlasov during the 1945–1946 trial. THE RUSSIAN STATE ARCHIVE OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL HISTORY

was formed from the USSR Communist Party

Central Archive. It holds documents including the personal archives of Lenin and Stalin.

The Soviet-era philosopher Merab Mamardashvili developed an original and subtle philosophical system distinct from both his orthodox and dissident colleagues. This volume provides English-speaking audiences with a range of his lectures and writings on ancient philosophy, civil society, the European project, and literature. He emerges as a Soviet thinker who writes in the double-voiced manner of an ideologically surveilled academic and a potent literary and theoretical innovator independent of his context. MERAB MAMARDASHVILI

(1930–1990) was born in Soviet

Georgia and occupied a sociopolitical position on the margins of Europe and Russia. From the vantage point of a scholar who lived in a totalitarian state, he emphasized the need for a vibrant civil society and the role of the humanities in maintaining it. JULIA SUSHYTSKA

The politico-economic reforms launched during the late twentieth century in postSoviet Russia have led to contradictory and ambiguous results. Were they unavoidable for Russia because of specific factors grounded in the country’s previous experiences? Or were they an intended result of actions taken by the leaders of the country? This study offers a framework based on ideas, interests, institutions, and illusions.

Allegory in Early Greek Philosophy JENNIFER LOBO MEEKS “This book is more than a reminder of the philosopher’s original task; it also helps us to understand the poverty of the present condition of philosophy.” F O R S A L E O N LY I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , C A N A D A , M E X I C O , C E N T R A L A M E R I C A , S O U T H A M E R I C A , C A R I B B E A N , AU ST R A L I A , N E W Z E A L A N D, A N D A S I A ( E XC LU D I N G C H I N A A N D I N D I A )

—Ann Hartle, professor emeritus, Emory University

Jennifer Lobo Meeks examines the role that allegory plays in Greek thought, particularly in the transition from the mythic tradition of the archaic poets to the philosophical traditions of the pre-Socratics and Plato. By providing the early Greek thinkers with a way of defending and appropriating the poetic wisdom of their predecessors, allegory enables philosophy to locate and recover its own origins in the mythic tradition.

The Phenomenology of Embodiment JAMES RICHARD MENSCH

To say that we are embodied subjects is to affirm that we are both extended and conscious: both a part of the material world and a place where that world comes to presence.

This book examines the research methods of Galen of Pergamon, an outstanding physician of antiquity. Galen’s works were the outcome of the Hippocratic tradition and shaped the further development of medical theory and practice until the scientific revolution. Dmitry A. Balalykin develops a synthesis of the philosophical theory of clinical practice that Galen used.

Mass Murder and Serial Murder

An Integrative Look ARNON EDELSTEIN

Translated by Sara Yurman

While “mass murder” refers to the murder of several people at the same time, “serial murder” describes several killings by the same perpetrator in a repetitive pattern. Usually these incidents have a high toll of victims and create significant anxiety in the public. Arnon Edelstein examines the various categories of mass murder and serial murder and suggests a new category: “mass-serial murder.” ARNON EDELSTEIN

Virtual Immortality

God, Evolution, and the Singularity in Post- and Transhumanism OLIVER KRÜGER

Reading “Black Mirror”

Insights Into Technology and the PostMedia Condition GERMAN A. DUARTE AND JUSTIN MICHAEL BATTIN, EDITORS

In recent years, ideas of post- and transhumanism have been popularized by novels, TV series, and Hollywood movies. According to this radical perspective, humankind and all biological life have become obsolete. Traditional forms of life are inefficient to process information and too inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, post-humanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Oliver Krüger examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers. OLIVER KRÜGER

is professor of religious studies at

Fribourg University. He also served as president of the Swiss Society for Religious Studies. Krüger specializes in the relationship among media, science, and religion.

The dystopian series Black Mirror is infamous for its myriad apocalyptic portrayals of humankind’s relationship with an array of electronic and digital technologies. This timely collection draws on innovative and interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks to provide unique perspectives about how confrontations with such issues should be considered and understood through the contemporary post-media condition that drives technology use. GERMAN A. DUARTE

media studies at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. His research interests include the history of media, film history, cognitive-cultural economy, and philosophy. JUSTIN MICHAEL BATTIN

at RMIT University in Ho Chi Minh City. His research focuses on intersecting strands of Heidegger’s philosophy with the everyday uses of mobile media technologies and mobile social media.

Forced Evictions and Criminalisation Practices in Present-Day South Africa SARA DEHKORDI

In present-day South Africa, urban-development agendas have inscribed doctrines of desirable and undesirable life in city spaces and the public that uses those spaces. This book studies the ways in which segregated city spaces, displacement of people from their homes, and criminalization practices are structured and executed. Sara Dehkordi shows that these doctrines are being legitimized and legalized as part of a discursive practice and that the criminalization of lower-class people are part of that practice, not as random policing techniques of individual security forces but as a technology of power that attends to the body, zooms in on it, screens it, and interrogates it.

Some see urban resilience as the key to unlocking a more stable and secure urban future in times of extreme global insecurity; for others, it is a neoliberal technology that marginalizes the voices of already marginal peoples. This volume moves beyond praise and critique by focusing on the actors, agendas, and narratives that define urban resilience in a global context. By exploring the past, present, and future of urban resilience, this volume unlocks the potential of this concept to build more sustainable, inclusive, and secure cities in the twenty-first century.

The Redundant City

A Multi-Site Enquiry Into Urban Narratives of Conflict and Change NORBERT KLING

Dynamic processes and conflicts form the core of the urban condition. Against the background of continuous change in cities, concepts and assumptions about spatial transformations have to be constantly reexamined and revised. Norbert Kling explores the rich body of narrative knowledge about conflict and change provided by architecture and urbanism and confronts this knowledge with an empirically grounded situational analysis of a large housing estate. His concept of the Redundant City describes a specific form of collectively negotiated urban change. NORBERT KLING

Trans Health

Global Perspectives on Care for Trans Communities MAX NICOLAI APPENROTH AND MARÍA DO MAR CASTRO VARELA, EDITORS

Although social scientists and practitioners have shown an increased interest in the inclusion of trans people in recent years, the current position of this group in the medical, psychological, and nursing-care systems remains underresearched. Studies tend to merge the issues of gender diversity and sexual diversity. Trans people often face a discriminatory environment in which they are pathologized and stigmatized. This anthology addresses trans people’s access to healthcare from a transnational perspective and offers courses of action to improve nursing, medical, therapeutic, and social care for trans people. Most contributions to this book are written from a lived trans experience. MAX NICOLAI APPENROTH

The expression “to come out of the closet” calls for an analysis of how language and notional as well as social spaces interact and intersect to constitute “queer.” This performative book, a product of artistic research, is an exploration of the proverbial closet through linguistics, queer, and postcolonial theory. Eleven queer slangs from around the world become part of an exploration of queerness and knowledge from the periphery through autoethnography, Édouard Glissant’s concept of opacity, José Muñoz’s disidentifications, and Gloria Anzaldúa’s performative writing. Theory, personal accounts, and art are interwoven to offer an interdisciplinary reading of slang as a queer method of survival and resistance.

When queer Jewish people migrated from Central Europe to the Middle East in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they contributed to the creation of a new queer culture and communality in Palestine. This volume offers the first collection of studies on queer Jewish lives between Central Europe and Mandatory Palestine (1870–1960). The first section of the book presents queer geographies including Germany, Austria, and Palestine, and the second introduces queer biographies between Europe and Palestine, including the sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, the writer Hugo Marcus, and the dance critic Giora Manor. ANDREAS KRAß

Which everyday practices allowed women to sustain and fulfill individuality and agency under dictatorial rule? This book rethinks the history of late Francoism and the transition to democracy in modern Spain through the lens of oral history and life writing. Aurora G. Morcillo tells the stories of anonymous individuals from both student and working-class backgrounds—crucial sites of active resistance against the dictatorship—and provides an interdisciplinary feminist analysis of the modernization of Spain in the 1960s and 1970s.

As a reaction to typically dead-end debates on future human and robot collaboration that tend to be either dismissive or overly welcoming toward “cobot” technologies, this book provides a technofeminist intervention. Pat Treusch not only shows how both the fields of technofeminism and robotics can engage in a practical exchange through knitting but also contributes a tangible example of coboting dynamics. Robotic Knitting renegotiates the boundaries between formalization and embodiment, craft and high tech, as well as useful and dysfunctional machines. It recrafts the nature of collaboration between human and robot.

This study of the Bronx in American popular culture shows how a wide variety of representations engaged in a complex dialogue on its past, present, and future. Sina A. Nitzsche argues that popular culture functioned as a poetic resurrection of the Bronx, an artistic and imaginative rebirth that preceded, promoted, and facilitated the spatial revival of the borough and inspired other distressed communities across the United States.

Practices of comparing shape how we perceive, organize, and change the world. They play a role in forming categories, boundaries, and hierarchies, but they can also give an impetus to questioning and changing such structures. This volume outlines the program of a new research agenda that places comparative practices at the center of an interdisciplinary exploration. Its contributions combine case studies with overarching systematic considerations, showing what insights can be gained and what further questions arise. ANGELIKA EPPLE

The American gothic novel has been deeply shaped by issues of race and raciality from its origins in British romanticism to the twenty-first century. Corinna Lenhardt uncovers the destructive and lasting impact of the Gothic’s anti-Black racism on cultural discourses in the United States. At the same time, Savage Horrors traces the unflinching Black resistance. CORINNA LENHARDT

In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the American theater emerged as a crucial cultural space for debates around gender. This collection explores the role of gender in the formation of American theatrical culture in this period. It features essays on well-known dramatists such as Susanna Rowson and Judith Sargent Murray but also sheds light on anonymous authors and more obscure theatrical practices. LEOPOLD LIPPERT

The body has become central to practices of self-tracking. By focusing on the relations among quantification, the body, and labor, this volume sheds light on the ways in which discourses on data collection, office work, and production are instrumental in redefining concepts of labor, including notions of immaterial and free labor in an increasingly virtual work environment.

In the past two decades, a discourse of crisis has emerged about the democratic institutions and political culture of the United States: many structures of authority that people had more or less taken for granted are facing a massive public loss of trust. This volume takes an interdisciplinary and historical look at the transformations of authority and trust in the United States. MANFRED BERG

is the Curt Engel-

horn Professor of American History at Heidelberg University. GÜNTER LEYPOLDT

is professor of American

literature and culture at Heidelberg University.

In the context of the ever-increasing political problematization of migration in Europe, agencies charged with migrant administration create diverse categories of difference to distinguish between the “deserving migrant” and the illegal one. This book analyzes how organizational interpretations of the common good shape bureaucratic practices. Together, these ethnographic analyses reveal how migration policies in different European countries take shape in administrative practice. JULIA M. ECKERT

is professor of

social anthropology at the University of Bern.

Judith Schühle illuminates how these physicians disconnect from and (re)connect to diverse local social and biomedical contexts, becoming established abroad while at the same time trying to influence health-care services in Nigeria through transnational endeavors.

Weimar Controversies Explorations in Popular Culture with Siegfried Kracauer PETER S. FISHER

F O R S A L E O N LY I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , C A N A D A , M E X I C O , CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AND ASIA

In the Weimar Republic, popular culture was the scene of heated controversies that tested the limits of national cohesion. How could marginal figures like a stigmatized villager, a Grub Street writer, or an advocate for nudism become flashpoints of political conflict? Peter S. Fisher draws on Siegfried Kracauer’s trenchant observations on Weimar’s contradictions to knit these exemplary stories together. Following his methodology, society’s underdogs take center stage, pushing the headline makers into the background. PETER S. FISHER

For UK citizens, the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were ever-present in the media yet remained distant and difficult to apprehend. Janina Wierzoch offers an analytical survey of British contemporary war narratives in novels, drama, film, and television that seek to make sense of the experience. The study shows how the narratives, instead of reflecting on the UK’s role as invader, portray war as invading the British home.

Today, painting is a medium almost exclusively confined to the artistic production of pictures. It has lost its dominant position and has become one artistic medium among others.

Dramatic Disgust

TIJANA MATIJEVIC

SARAH J. ABLETT

Women’s writing from the former/post-Yugoslavia recollects but also produces the links among the post-Yugoslav present and the Yugoslav past. Drawing attention to an uninterrupted marginalization of women authors and structurally confined female narrators and protagonists, Tijana Matijevic reconceptualizes contemporary literary production from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.

Aesthetic disgust is a key component of most classic works of drama. This extensive study on dramatic disgust places this sensation among pity and fear as one of the core emotions that can achieve catharsis. The book starts out in antiquity and traces the history of dramatic disgust through Kant, Freud, and Kristeva to Sarah Kane’s in-yer-face theater. Providing a concise argument against critics who have discredited aesthetic disgust as juvenile attention-grabbing, Sarah Ablett explains how revulsion allows theater to dig deeper into what it means to be human.

TIJANA MATIJEVIC

post-Yugoslav literature, culture, and languages at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Her research focuses on feminist knowledge and the continuities between the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literatures.

In the eighteenth century, techniques of assembling, compiling, and arranging preexisting material ensured that operas could become a commercial success. Known as “pasticcios,” these operas have long been considered inferior patchwork.

A New Perspective on Music’s Mediation

ELIAS BERNER, EDITORS

BRANDON FARNSWORTH

This volume considers audiovisual material as a primary source for historiography. By analyzing how the same sounds are used in different media contexts at different times, the contributors challenge the linear perspective of music history based on canonical authority.

Contemporary music, like other arts, is dealing with the rise of “curators” who lay claim to everything from festivals to playlists. Brandon Farnsworth lays out a theory for understanding curatorial practices in contemporary music, focusing on two case studies, the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre and the Maerzmusik Festival at the Berliner Festspiele.

As multilateral development banks gained influence in shaping global development, transnational social movements pushed to hold them accountable for their human rights impact. Leon Valentin Schettler presents a novel causal mechanism of movement advocacy, systematically comparing the evolution of human rights standards and complaint mechanisms.

In remote areas of Europe, local history museums struggle to connect with the rapidly changing and increasingly diverse communities around them. Insa Müller asks how these museums can recast themselves to strengthen the links to their communities, combining theoretical deliberations, empirical investigations of the case of two Norwegian islands, and a museum experiment.

Friedrich Meinecke: Champion of German Historicism REINBERT KROL

REINBERT KROL

Modes of Embodied Politics AMANDA MACHIN

Amanda Machin considers six embodied modes of democratic politics: identification, deliberation, disagreement, protest, occupation, and counsel. Drawing on diverse thinkers such as Maurice MerleauPonty, Michael Polanyi, Simone de Beauvoir, Donna Haraway, and Judith Butler, she illustrates the ways that human bodies are not only the disciplined objects of politics but also the generative subjects of democracy. AMANDA MACHIN

is a professor of

international political studies at the University of Witten/Herdecke in Germany.

Questions of truth, ethics, state power, and propaganda, of how to render account of catastrophes and reconcile oneself with one’s past, are not only crucial to our time but were also central to the analysis by the German historian Friedrich Meinecke (1862–1954). Reinbert Krol’s analysis of Meinecke’s intellectual development gives us insight into his philosophy of history—which turns out to be more conciliatory than previously assumed—and provides a source of inspiration for current scholars of history.
