PRODUCTION:

Dear Readers,

Where Are the Women? asks Sarah Tyson (p. 68). In this catalogue, we are proud to answer: they are here. At a time when cultural institutions are confronting deep structural inequities, it is Columbia University Press’s honor to display our commitment to publish leading women writers and intellectuals and urgent scholarship that seeks to break down entrenched barriers.

The catalogue leads off with a triptych of extraordinary women at the top of their fields whose work seamlessly combines the personal, political, and philosophical. Joan Wallach Scott (p. 1) gives a timely consideration of academic freedom as ideal and practice. Mary-Jane Rubenstein’s Pantheologies (p. 2) is a creative attempt to make the age-old heresy of pantheism a resource for our present. And in My Brilliant Friends (p. 3), Nancy K. Miller reflects on three close relationships with women in academia to show the importance of female friendship to feminism. Throughout, this season’s catalogue features a wide range of remarkable new scholarship, including the debuts of three exciting new series. Talal Asad’s Secular Translations (p. 4) inaugurates the Ruth Benedict Book Series, presenting global explorations in critical thought. Bruce Usher’s Renewable Energy (p. 22) is the first of the Columbia University Earth Institute Sustainability Primers, which offer short, solutionsoriented texts for a sustainable future. With Jacques Lacan (p. 5), we embark on our project to publish the complete seminars of Alain Badiou, one of Europe’s foremost intellectuals.

As we continue to celebrate our 125th anniversary, we are reminded that the books in this catalogue, like those in the 125 years preceding them, have been made possible by the community that surrounds the press—the commitment of our university colleagues, the generosity of our donors and partners, and the support of our readers. Thank you for helping Columbia University Press thrive. Jennifer Crewe Associate Provost and Director

Knowledge, Power, and Academic Freedom JOAN WALLACH SCOTT

RE FLEC T IONS ON T H E CH A L L E N G E S O F ACA D EM IC F R EED OM

Academic freedom rests on a shared belief that the production of knowledge advances the common good. In an era of education budget cuts, wealthy donors intervening in university decisions, and right-wing groups threatening dissenters, scholars cannot expect that those in power will value their work. Can academic freedom survive in this environment—and must we rearticulate what academic freedom is for in order to defend it?

This book presents a series of essays by the renowned historian Joan Wallach Scott that explore the history and theory of academic freedom and the value of critical inquiry today. Scott considers the contradictions in the concept of academic freedom through examinations of the relationship between state power and higher education, the differences between the First Amendment right of free speech and the guarantee of academic freedom, and, in response to recent campus controversies, the politics of civility. The book concludes with an interview with Bill Moyers in which Scott discusses the personal experiences that have informed her views. Academic freedom is an aspiration, Scott holds: Its implementation always falls short of its promise, but it is essential as an ideal of ethical practice. Knowledge, Power, and Academic Freedom is both a nuanced reflection on the tensions within one of academia’s cherished concepts and a strong defense of the importance of critical scholarship for the preservation of democracy against the antiintellectualism of figures from Joseph McCarthy to Donald Trump.

Pantheologies

Gods, Worlds, Monsters MARY-JANE RUBENSTEIN H OW PA N THEI SM' S SEC RET HI STO RI ES GI VE US VI TA L N E W ALTERN ATI VES

Pantheism is the idea that God and the world are identical—that the creator, sustainer, destroyer, and transformer of all things is the universe itself. Since the excommunication of Baruch Spinoza, Western thought has demonized what it calls pantheism, accusing it of incoherence, absurdity, and—with striking regularity—monstrosity.

“In Pantheologies, Mary-Jane Rubenstein answers the old problem of the One and the Many by offering a resolute triumph of the Many over the One. Give Rubenstein a One—any one—and she will make a many out of it. Multiplicity, thy name is woman. Rubenstein will save us every time from the totalitarian tendencies of certain regions of process philosophy, from the teutonic idealisms of post-Hegelian theologies, even from the totalizing forms of monistic pantheisms.”

In this book, Mary-Jane Rubenstein seeks to diagnose this perennial repugnance through a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism “monstrous”—at once repellent and seductive—is that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created. By rejecting the fundamental difference between God and world, pantheism threatens all the other oppositions that stem from it: light versus darkness, male versus female, and humans versus every other organism. If the panic over pantheism has to do with a fear of crossed boundaries and demolished hierarchies, then the question becomes what a present-day pantheism might disrupt and what it might reconfigure. Cobbling together heterogeneous sources into a monstrous mixture of unintentional God-worlds, Pantheologies seeks to give an old heresy the chance to renew our thinking.

My Brilliant Friends

Our Lives in Feminism NANCY K. MILLER

A PER S ONAL TAK E O N FE M I N I S M A N D FE M AL E F R IENDS H IP S

My Brilliant Friends is an innovative group biography of three friendships forged in secondwave feminism. Poignant and politically charged, the book is a captivating personal account of the complexities of women’s bonds.

Nancy K. Miller describes her friendships with three well-known scholars and literary critics: Carolyn Heilbrun, Diane Middlebrook, and Naomi Schor. Their relationships were simultaneously intimate and professional, emotional and intellectual, animated by the political ferment of the women’s movement. Friendships like these sustained the generation of women whose entrance into male-dominated professions is still reshaping American society. The stories of their intertwined lives and books reveal how feminism illuminated the political importance of personal experience. Reflecting on aging and loss, ambition and rivalry, competition and collaboration, the three narratives combine to show us why and how friendship matters in the worlds of both work and love. Inspired in part by the portraits of two women’s passionately enmeshed lives in Elena Ferrante’s acclaimed Neapolitan novels, My Brilliant Friends presents a revisionary perspective on the history and future of friendships between women. NANCY K. MILLER

“A new book by Nancy K. Miller is always a treat. This compulsively readable triptych of her friendships with Carolyn Heilbrun, Diane Middlebrook, and Naomi Schor will touch, delight, and enlighten anyone who has grown up under the influence of feminism.” —Susan Gubar, author of The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination

Secular Translations

Nation-State, Modern Self, and Calculative Reason TALAL ASAD CO N SI DERI N G THE PA RA DOX ES O F S E CU LA R REASO N I N G

In Secular Translations, the anthropologist Talal Asad reflects on his lifelong engagement with secularism and its contradictions. In a consideration of translatability and untranslatability, he explores the ways ideas are translated between histories and cultures and the ways religious ideas are translated into nonreligious ones. Translation opens the door for—or requires—the utter transformation of the translated.

Named after one of the founders of both American anthropology and the Columbia Department of Anthropology, the Ruth Benedict Book Series is inspired by Benedict’s passionate engagement with critical political, aesthetic, and theoretical problems of the twentieth century but situates them in the global conditions of the twenty-first. The scope of the series is capaciously theoretical and determinedly international, with special emphasis on settlercolonial, postcolonial, and capital regimes.

In search of meeting points between the language of Islam and the language of secular reason, Asad gives particular importance to the varieties of transformations of religious language into the idioms of secularism. He discusses the claim that liberal conceptions of equality represent earlier Christian ideas translated into secularism; explores the ways that the language and practice of religious ritual play an important but radically transformed role as they are translated into modern life; and considers the history of the idea of the self and its centrality to the project of the secular state. Secularism is not only an abstract principle that modern liberal democratic states espouse, he argues; it is also a range of sensibilities expressed in concepts such as “modernity,” “religion,” and “secularism.” The shifting vocabularies associated with each of these sensibilities are fundamentally intertwined with different ways of life. Drawing on a diverse set of thinkers ranging from al-Ghazālī to Walter Benjamin, Secular Translations rigorously seeks a language for our time beyond the language of the state. TALAL ASAD

Jacques Lacan ALAIN BADIOU

Translated by Kenneth Reinhard and Susan Spitzer Introduction by Kenneth Reinhard A PH ILOS OP H ICAL RE A D I N G O F T H E CON T R OV ER S IAL P SYC H OA N A LYST

Alain Badiou is arguably the most significant philosopher in Europe today. Badiou’s seminars, given annually on major conceptual and historical topics, constitute an enormously important part of his work. They served as laboratories for his thought and public illuminations of his complex ideas yet remain little known. This book, the transcript of Badiou’s year-long seminar on the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, is the first volume of his seminars to be published in English, opening up a new and vital aspect of his thinking.

In a highly original and compelling account of Lacan’s theory and therapeutic practice, Badiou considers the challenge that Lacan poses to fundamental philosophical topics such as being, the subject, and truth. Badiou argues that Lacan is a singular figure of the “anti-philosopher,” a series of thinkers stretching back to Saint Paul and including Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, with Lacan as the last great anti-philosopher of modernity. The book offers a forceful reading of an enigmatic yet foundational thinker and sheds light on the crucial role that Lacan plays in Badiou’s own thought. This seminar, more accessible than some of Badiou’s more difficult works, will be profoundly valuable for the many readers across academic disciplines, art and literature, and political activism who find his thought essential. ALAIN BADIOU

“In today’s theoretical humanities, Jacques Lacan and Alain Badiou are by far two of the most important and frequently referenced figures. Along with Slavoj Žižek, Badiou is rightly seen as profoundly shaping contemporary philosophy/theory along lines flowing directly out of Lacan’s teachings. Hence, these seminars are crucial for an adequate appreciation of Badiou’s vision of philosophy tout court.” —Adrian Johnston, author of A New German Idealism

Energy Kingdoms

Oil and Political Survival in the Persian Gulf

JIM KRANE W H Y SHA RI N G O I L WEA LTH WI TH C I TI Z EN S HAS BE COME A N EX I STEN TI A L DI LEMMA

After the discovery of oil in the 1930s, the Gulf monarchies—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Bahrain—went from being among the world’s poorest and most isolated places to some of its most ostentatiously wealthy. To maintain support, the ruling sheikhs provide their subjects with boundless cheap energy, unwittingly leading to some of the highest consumption rates on earth. Today, as summertime temperatures set new records, the Gulf ’s rulers find themselves caught in a dilemma: can they curb their profligacy without jeopardizing the survival of some of the world’s last remaining absolute monarchies?

“Jim Krane is a marvelous storyteller, and his book provides one of the

In Energy Kingdoms, Jim Krane takes readers inside the monarchies to consider the conundrum facing the Gulf states. He traces the history of their energy use and policies, looking in particular at how energy subsidies have distorted demand. Oil exports are the lifeblood of their political-economic systems—and the basis of their strategic importance—but domestic consumption has begun eating into exports while climate change threatens to render the region uninhabitable. At risk are the sheikhdoms’ way of life, their relations with their Western protectors, and their political stability in a chaotic region. Backed by rich fieldwork and deep knowledge of the region, Krane expertly lays out the hard choices that Gulf leaders face to keep their states viable.

The Putin System An Opposing View

GRIGORY YAVLINSKY AN O P P OS IT ION L EA D E R ’ S CR I T I Q U E O F AU TH OR ITAR IAN R USS I A

A quarter century after the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia once again looms large over world affairs, from Ukraine to Syria to the 2016 U.S. election. Yet how power works in present-day Russia—how Vladimir Putin came to power and maintains his rule—remains opaque and often misunderstood. In The Putin System, Grigory Yavlinsky, a Russian economist and opposition leader, explains his country’s politics from a unique perspective, voicing a Russian liberal critique of the post-Soviet system that is vital for the West to hear.

Combining the firsthand experience of a practicing politician with academic expertise, Yavlinsky gives unparalleled insights into the sources of Putin’s power and what might be next. He argues that Russia’s dysfunction is neither the outcome of one man’s iron-fisted rule nor a deviation from the supposedly natural development of Western-style institutions. Instead, Russia’s peripheral position in the global economy has fundamentally shaped the regime’s domestic and foreign policy. The quasidemocratic reforms of the 1990s, the bureaucracy’s grip on power, and the Russian elite’s frustration with its secondary status have all combined to enable authoritarian rule and corruption. Ultimately, Putin is as much a product of the system as its creator. In a time of sensationalism and fear, The Putin System is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how power is wielded in Russia.

A German Officer in Occupied Paris

The War Journals, 1941-1945 ERNST JÜNGER Foreword by Elliot Neaman

Translated by Thomas Hansen and Abby Hansen T H E WA RTI ME J O URN A LS O F A CO N TRA DI C TO RY G E R MA N WRI TER

“Jünger’s account is indispensable as a firsthand reflection on Paris under the German occupation and provides sharply observed portraits of Jünger’s contemporaries as they struggled with the apocalyptic destruction of Europe at the end of a second Thirty Years’ War.” —From the foreword by Elliot Neaman

Ernst Jünger was one of twentieth-century Germany’s most important—and most controversial —writers. Decorated for bravery in World War I, he authored an acclaimed memoir from the western front, Storm of Steel. As a Wehrmacht captain during the Second World War, Jünger faithfully kept a journal in occupied Paris and on the eastern front—writings that are of major historical and literary significance.

Jünger’s Paris journals document his Francophile excitement and romantic affairs, alongside mystical ruminations and trenchant observations on the occupation and the politics of collaboration. Working as a mail censor, he led the privileged life of an officer, encountering artists such as Céline, Cocteau, Braque, and Picasso. His notes from the Caucasus depict chaos and misery after the defeat at Stalingrad, as well as candid comments about the atrocities on the eastern front. Returning to Paris, Jünger was peripherally involved in the 1944 conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. Both participant and commentator, Jünger turned his life and experiences into a work of art. These journals appear here in English for the first time, giving fresh insight into the quandaries of the twentieth century from the keen pen of a paradoxical observer. ERNST JÜNGER

(1895–1998) was a major figure in twentieth-century

German literature and intellectual life. He was a young leader of rightwing nationalism in the Weimar Republic but although the Nazis tried to court him, Jünger kept his distance. Among his works is On the Marble $40.00* / £30.00 cloth 978-0-231-12740-0 $39.99 / £30.00 e-book 978-0-231-54838-0

Jacques Schiffrin

A Publisher in Exile, from Pléaide to Pantheon AMOS REICHMAN Foreword by Robert O. Paxton Translated by Sandra Smith A LI T ER ARY J OUR NE Y T H AT R E CO U N TS A PU BL I S H I N G LE GEND 'S R EM AR KA BL E STO RY

Jacques Schiffrin changed the face of publishing in the twentieth century. As the founder of Pléaide Editions in Paris and cofounder of Pantheon Books in New York, he helped define a lasting canon of Western literature while promoting new authors. In this first biography of Schiffrin, Amos Reichman tells the story of a remarkable publisher and his travails across two continents.

Just as he influenced the literary trajectory of the twentieth century, Schiffrin’s life was affected by its tumultuous events. Born in Baku in 1892, he fled after the Bolsheviks came to power, eventually settling in Paris, where he founded Pléaide. After Vichy France passed anti-Jewish laws, Schiffrin fled to New York, establishing Pantheon with Kurt Wolff, a German exile. Following Schiffrin’s death in 1950, his son André continued in his father’s footsteps, preserving a remarkable legacy. Reichman draws on Schiffrin’s letters to describe his complex friendships with prominent figures, including André Gide, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Peggy Guggenheim. His intimate portrait not only recounts Schiffrin’s many achievements but also poignantly describes a life lived in exile.

Buying Gay

How Physique Entrepreneurs Sparked a Movement DAVID K. JOHNSON T H E R O LE O F GAY B USI N ESSES I N THE G AY RI GHTS MOVEMEN T

In 1951, a new type of publication appeared on newsstands—the physique magazine produced by and for gay men. For many men growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, these magazines and their images and illustrations of nearly naked men, as well as articles, letters from readers, and advertisements, served as an initiation into gay culture. The publishers behind them were part of a wider world of “physique entrepreneurs”: men as well as women who ran photography studios, mail-order catalogues, pen-pal services, book clubs, and niche advertising for gay audiences. While such businesses have often been seen as peripheral to the gay political movement, in Buying Gay David K. Johnson shows how gay commerce was not a byproduct of the gay rights movement but an important catalyst for it.

“Offering a deeply researched, panoramic view of a world that has yet to receive a serious scholarly treatment, Johnson persuasively shows that gay consumer culture developed earlier than we imagined.

Offering a vivid look into the lives of physique entrepreneurs and their customers, and presenting a wealth of illustrations, Johnson explores the connection—and tension—between the market and the movement. This network of producers and consumers helped foster a gay community and upend censorship laws, paving the way for open expression. Physique entrepreneurs were at the center of legal struggles, especially against the U.S. Post Office, including the court victory that allowed full frontal male nudity and open homoeroticism. Buying Gay reconceives the history of the gay movement and shows how consumer culture helped create community and a site for resistance.

A landmark intervention in LGBTQ history.” —Timothy Stewart-Winter, Rutgers University

“Buying Gay is an exciting, innovative, original, and groundbreaking new study of gay consumer culture in the 1950s and 1960s.” —Marc Stein, San Francisco State University

A Haven and a Hell

The Ghetto in Black America LANCE FREEMAN HOW T H E GH ET TO SH A PE D BL ACK A M E R I CA A N D BL AC K AM ER ICA S H A PE D T H E G H ET TO

The black ghetto is thought of as a place of urban decay and social disarray. Like the historical ghetto of Venice, it is perceived as a space of confinement, one imposed on black America by whites. It is the home of a marginalized underclass and a sign of the depth of American segregation. Yet while black urban neighborhoods have suffered from institutional racism and economic neglect, they have also been places of refuge and community.

In A Haven and a Hell, Lance Freeman traces the evolving role of predominantly black neighborhoods in northern cities from the late nineteenth century through the present day. At times, the ghetto promised the freedom to build black social institutions and political power. At others, it suppressed and further stigmatized African Americans. Freeman reveals the forces that caused the ghetto’s role as haven or hell to wax and wane, spanning the Great Migration, mid-century opportunities, the eruptions of the sixties, the challenges of the seventies and eighties, and present-day issues of mass incarceration, the subprime crisis, and gentrification. Offering timely planning and policy recommendations based in this history, A Haven and a Hell provides a powerful new understanding of urban black communities at a time when the future of many inner-city neighborhoods appears uncertain. LANCE FREEMAN

“Through rigorous socio-historical analysis, Lance Freeman provides insight into how black ghettos developed and then changed over time, giving readers a good sense of the complicated trajectory of ‘the ghetto’ in America. A Haven and a Hell is a highly accessible and necessary book for a broader and richer understanding of urban black America.” —Marcus Anthony Hunter, coauthor of Chocolate Cities: The Black Map of American Life

Heading Home

Motherhood, Work, and the Failed Promise of Equality SHANI ORGAD R E V E ALI N G THE STA RK GA P B ETWEEN THE P RO MI SE O F G E N DER EQ UA LI TY A N D CO N TI N UED I N J USTI C E

Women in today’s societies are encouraged to “lean in.”  The media and government champion women’s empowerment. In a cultural climate where women can seemingly have it all, why do so many successful professional women—lawyers, financial managers, teachers, engineers, and others—give up their careers after having children and become stay-at-home mothers? How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society?

To answer these questions, Shani Orgad draws on in-depth, personal, and profoundly ambivalent interviews with highly educated London women who left paid employment to take care of their children. Despite identifying the structural forces that produce and maintain gender inequality, they still struggle to articulate their decisions outside the cultural ideals that devalue motherhood and individualize success and failure. Orgad juxtaposes these stories with media and policy depictions of women, work, and family, detailing how—even as their experiences fly in the face of fantasies of work-life balance and marriage as an egalitarian partnership—these women continue to interpret and judge themselves according to the ideals that are failing them. Rather than calling for women to transform their feelings and behavior, Heading Home argues that we must unmute and amplify women’s desire, disappointment, and rage while demanding long-overdue equality both at work and at home.

“Heading Home is a wonderfully researched and written book. Orgad’s interviews highlight meaningful themes, including, for example, the fact that oppression can be experienced alongside privilege; that structural inequality issues are masking what are perceived as personal choices; and how the public discourses and media representations of ‘choice’ are perpetuated into the self-identity of women who, in practicality, did not have much of a choice.”

Retirement and Its Discontents

Why We Won’t Stop Working, Even if We Can MICHELLE PANNOR SILVER THE M ENTAL AND EMOT I O N A L ST R U G G L E W I T H L I FE ’S G RE AT EST T R ANS IT I O N

In the popular imagination, retirement promises a well-deserved rest—idle days spent traveling, volunteering, pursuing hobbies, or just puttering around the house. But as the nature of work has changed, becoming not just a means of income but a major source of personal identity, many accomplished professionals struggle with retirement. What are we to do—individually and as a culture— when work and life experience make conventional retirement a burden rather than a reprieve?

In Retirement and Its Discontents, Michelle Pannor Silver considers how we confront the mismatch between idealized and actual retirement. She follows doctors, CEOs, elite athletes, professors, and homemakers during their transition to retirement as they struggle to recalibrate their sense of purpose and self-worth. The work ethic and passion that helped these retirees succeed can make giving in to retirement more difficult, as they confront newfound leisure time with uncertainty and guilt. Drawing on in-depth interviews, Silver emphasizes the significance of creating new retirement strategies that support social connectedness and personal fulfillment while impugning age-based stereotypes about productivity and employment. A richly detailed and deeply personal exploration of the challenges faced by accomplished retirees, Retirement and Its Discontents demonstrates the importance of personal identity in forging sustainable social norms around retirement and helps us to rethink some of the new challenges for aging societies. MICHELLE PANNOR SILVER

“A convincing analysis of the disquiet among a small group of elders who—despite having money—want to work. Warning! A furtive tear may betray empathy for their deep feelings of abandonment, depression, being a renegade. Silver digs deep for courageous insight on transitions from careers to retirement.” —Teresa Ghilarducci, author of Rescuing Retirement: A Plan to Guarantee Retirement Security for All Americans

In a time of reckoning with wrongdoing in high places, this year’s National Magazine Awards finalists and winners focus on abuse of power in all its forms. Ronan Farrow’s Pulitzer Prize–winning revelation of Harvey Weinstein’s depredations (New Yorker), along with Rebecca Traister’s charged commentary for New York and Laurie Penny’s incisive Longreads columns, speak to the urgency of the #MeToo moment. Ginger Thompson’s reporting on the botched operation that triggered a cartel massacre in Mexico (National Geographic/ ProPublica) and Azmat Khan and Anand Gopal’s New York Times Magazine investigation of civilian casualties of drone strikes in Iraq amplify the voices of those harmed by U.S. actions abroad. Alex Tizon’s “My Family’s Slave” (Atlantic) is a powerful attempt to come to terms with the destruction in plain sight in his own upbringing.

Responding to the overt racism of the Trump era, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah analyzes Dylann Roof, the South Carolina shooter, and white supremacist terrorism in a Pulitzer-winning profile (GQ), and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “My President Was Black” (Atlantic) looks back at the meaning of Obama. Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham’s ESPN reporting exposes the seamy sides of the NFL. In addition, David Wallace-Wells offers a portrait of our climatechange-ravaged future (New York); Nina Martin investigates America’s shameful record on maternal mortality (NPR/ProPublica); Ian Frazier asks “What Ever Happened to the Russian Revolution?” (Smithsonian); and Alex Mar considers “Love in the Time of Robots” (Wired with Epic Magazine). The collection concludes with Kristen Roupenian’s viral short story “Cat Person” (New Yorker). SID HOLT

The Ku Klux Klan has peaked three times: after the Civil War, around the Civil Rights Movement, and in the 1920s, when the Klan spread farthest and fastest, recruiting millions of members even in non-Southern states. Almost one hundred years later, once again the pent-up anger of white Americans has targeted immigrants and outsiders and roiled a presidential election.

In The Politics of Losing, Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep trace the parallels between the 1920s Klan and today’s right-wing backlash, identifying the conditions that allow white nationalism to emerge from the shadows. Mirroring the Klan’s tactics, Donald Trump delivered a message that mingled economic populism with deep cultural resentments. McVeigh and Estep present a sociological analysis of the Klan’s outbreaks that goes beyond Trump to show how his rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances: declining privilege and perceptions of lost status and economic power that foment political backlash. The Politics of Losing offers a rigorous and readable explanation for a recurrent phenomenon in American history, with important lessons about the origins of our alarming political climate.

A Double Life

KAROLINA PAVLOVA

Translated by Barbara Heldt A CL ASSI C O F RUSSI A N WO MEN ' S WRI TI N G THAT CO M BI N ES P O ETRY A N D P ROSE

An unsung classic of nineteenth-century Russian literature, Karolina Pavlova’s A Double Life alternates prose and poetry to offer a wry picture of Russian aristocratic society and vivid dreams of escaping its strictures. Pavlova combines rich narrative prose that details balls, tea parties, and horseback rides with poetic interludes that depict her protagonist’s inner world—and biting irony that pervades a seemingly romantic description of a young woman who has everything.

“Pavlova’s A Double Life is a landmark of nineteenth-century Russian literature. With its multilayered account of a young society woman’s mysterious transformation into a poet, the novella explores a host of social, spiritual, and aesthetic questions while brilliantly reinventing the myth of Cupid and Psyche. Indispensable.” —Thomas Hodge, Wellesley College

A Double Life tells the story of Cecily, who is being trapped into marriage by her well-meaning mother; her best friend, Olga; and Olga’s mother, who means to clear the way for a wealthier suitor for her own daughter by marrying off Cecily first. Cecily’s privileged upbringing makes her oblivious to the havoc that is being wreaked around her. Only in the seclusion of her bedroom is her imagination freed: each day of deception is followed by a night of dreams described in soaring verse. Pavlova subtly speaks against the limitations placed on women and especially women writers, which translator Barbara Heldt highlights in a critical introduction. Among the greatest works of literature by a Russian woman writer, A Double Life is worthy of a central place in the Russian canon. KAROLINA PAVLOVA,

born Karolina Jaenisch in 1807, was a Russian

poet and translator and presided over a famous Moscow literary salon. She died in Dresden in 1893, having abandoned Russia not because of tsarist oppression but because of hostile criticism of her poetry and her personal life. A Double Life is her major work. BARBARA HELDT

The Man Who Couldn’t Die The Tale of an Authentic Human Being OLGA SLAVNIKOVA Translated by Marian Schwartz TRY I NG TO K EEP A FA M I LY TO G ET H E R BY I M AG I N I N G THAT T H E S OV IET UN I O N D I D N ’ T FA L L A PA RT

In the chaos of early-1990s Russia, a paralyzed veteran’s wife and stepdaughter conceal the Soviet Union’s collapse from him in order to keep him— and his pension—alive, until it turns out the tough old man has other plans. An instant classic of postSoviet Russian literature, Olga Slavnikova’s The Man Who Couldn’t Die tells the story of how two women try to prolong a life—and the means and meaning of their own lives—by creating a world that doesn’t change, a Soviet Union that never crumbled. After her stepfather’s stroke, Marina hangs Brezhnev’s portrait on the wall, edits the Pravda articles read to him, and uses her media connections to cobble together entire newscasts of events that never happened. Meanwhile, her mother, Nina Alexandrovna, can barely navigate the bewildering new world outside, especially in comparison to the blunt reality of her uncommunicative husband. As Marina is caught up in a local election campaign that gets out of hand, Nina discovers that her husband is conspiring as well—to kill himself and put an end to the charade. Masterfully translated by Marian Schwartz, The Man Who Couldn’t Die is a darkly playful vision of the lost Soviet past and the madness of the post-Soviet world that uses Russia’s modern history as a backdrop for an inquiry into larger metaphysical questions. OLGA SLAVNIKOVA

“The Man Who Couldn’t Die is an overlooked masterpiece of postSoviet prose by one of contemporary Russia’s most important authors. It reveals how Slavnikova’s descriptions (and Schwartz’s English equivalent) belong alongside those of Vladimir Nabokov, Iurii Olesha, and Nikolai Gogol as truly revolutionary in Russian prose.” —Benjamin Sutcliffe, Miami University

Necropolis

VLADISLAV KHODASEVICH

Translated by Sarah Vitali A G R E AT TWEN TI ETH- C EN TURY RUSSI A N P O ET R E CA LLS WRI TERS A N D A RTI STS I N EX I LE

Necropolis is an unconventional literary memoir from Vladislav Khodasevich, hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as “the greatest Russian poet of our time.” In each of the book’s nine chapters, Khodasevich memorializes a significant figure of Russia’s literary Silver Age, and in the process writes an insightful obituary of the era.

“An incisive set of memoirs of leading lights of Russian symbolism and its aftermath (1890s–1920s). Khodasevich’s intimate accounts of several writers (Briusov, Bely, Blok, Esenin, Gorky, and lesser figures) are framed within the notion of ‘life-creation,’ which he deems crucial to a conceptualization of the modernist period. A stylish, inventive translation of a key text.” —Robert P. Hughes, University of California, Berkeley

Written at various times throughout the 1920s and 1930s following the deaths of its subjects, Necropolis is a literary graveyard in which an entire movement, Russian symbolism, is buried. Recalling Fyodor Sologub, Sergey Esenin, and others, Khodasevich tells the story of how their lives and artworks intertwined, including a notoriously tempestuous love triangle among Nina Petrovskaia, Valery Briusov, and Andrey Bely. He testifies to the seductive and often devastating power of the symbolist attempt to turn one’s life into a work of art and, ultimately, how one man was left to deal with the task of memorializing his fellow artists after their deaths. Khodasevich’s portraits deal with revolution, disillusionment, emigration, suicide, the vocation of the poet, and the place of the artist in society. One of the greatest memoirs in Russian literature, Necropolis is a compelling work from an overlooked writer whose gifts for observation and irony show the early-twentieth-century Russian literary scene in a new and more intimate light. VLADISLAV KHODASEVICH

(1886–1939) was a major figure in

twentieth-century Russian poetry as well as an accomplished critic and translator. Born into a Polish Catholic noble family in Moscow, he was forced to spend his later life in exile. SARAH VITALI

Vanishing Ice

Glaciers, Ice Sheets, and Rising Seas VIVIEN GORNITZ W H Y MELTI N G I C E MATTERS

The Arctic is thawing. In summer, cruise ships sail through the once ice-clogged Northwest Passage, lakes form on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet, and polar bears swim farther and farther in search of waning ice floes. At the opposite end of the world, floating Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking. Mountain glaciers are in retreat worldwide, unleashing flash floods and avalanches. We are on thin ice—and with melting permafrost’s potential to let loose still more greenhouse gases, these changes may be just the tip of the iceberg.

“Anyone who wants a better understanding of the different parts of the cryosphere, the detailed consequences of melting ice, and this aspect of climate change will find this book an invaluable resource.” —Suzanne B. O’Connell, Wesleyan University

Vanishing Ice is a powerful depiction of the dramatic transformation of the cryosphere—the world of ice and snow—and its consequences for the human world. Exploring ice sheets, valley glaciers, permafrost, and floating ice, Vivien Gornitz gives an up-to-date explanation of key current trends. Drawing on a long-term perspective gained by examining changes in the cryosphere and corresponding variations in sea level over millions of years, she demonstrates the link between thawing ice and sea-level rise to point to the social and economic challenges on the horizon. Gornitz highlights the widespread repercussions of ice loss, which will affect countless people far removed from frozen regions, to demonstrate why the big meltdown matters to us all. Written for all readers and students interested in the science of our changing climate, Vanishing Ice is an accessible and lucid warning of the coming thaw. VIVIEN GORNITZ

The Fall of the Wild

Extinction, De-Extinction, and the Ethics of Conservation BEN A. MINTEER S HOUL D WE SAV E—O R E V E N R E V I V E — E N DA N G E R E D O R E XTI NC T S P EC IES?

The passenger pigeon, the great auk, the Tasmanian tiger—the memory of these vanished species haunts the fight against extinction. Seeking to save other creatures from their fate, wildlife advocates have become captivated by a narrative of heroic conservation efforts. A range of technological and policy strategies, from the traditional, such as regulations and refuges, to the novel—the scientific wizardry of genetic engineering and synthetic biology— seemingly promise solutions to the extinction crisis. Ben A. Minteer calls for reflection on the ethical dilemmas of species loss and recovery in an increasingly human-driven world. He asks an unsettling but necessary question: Might our well-meaning efforts to save and restore wildlife pose a threat to the ideal of preserving a world that isn’t completely under the human thumb? Minteer probes the tension between our impulse to do whatever it takes and the risk of pursuing strategies that undermine our broader commitment to the preservation of wildness. From collecting wildlife specimens for museums and the wilderness aspirations of zoos to visions of “assisted colonization” of new habitats and high-tech attempts to revive long-extinct species, he explores the scientific and ethical concerns vexing conservation today. The Fall of the Wild is a nuanced treatment of the deeper moral issues underpinning the quest to save species on the brink of extinction and an accessible intervention in debates over the principles and practice of nature conservation.

“The central ethical question addressed by Minteer is not only how far might we go to prevent biological extinction, but how far should we go? He comes to this conundrum as a distinguished environmental philosopher with a broad and deep record of thoughtful scholarship, as well as the heart of someone who obviously cares about the future of nature. And most importantly, at a time when answering the question is ever more urgent, he plots a carefully explicated, cautiously hopeful course forward.” —Harry W.

Renewable Energy

A Primer for the Twenty-First Century BRUCE USHER H OW TO TRA N SI TI O N FRO M FOSSI L FUELS TO CL E A N EN ERGY

From wood to coal to oil and gas, the sources of energy on which civilization depends have always changed as technology advances. Now renewables are overtaking fossil fuels, with wind and solar energy becoming cheaper and more competitive every year. Growth in renewable energy will further accelerate as electric vehicles become less expensive than traditional automobiles. Understanding the implications will prepare us for the many changes ahead.

Renewable Energy is a primer for readers of all levels on the coming energy transition and its global consequences. Bruce Usher provides a concise yet comprehensive explanation for the extraordinary growth in wind and solar energy; the trajectory of the transition from fossil fuels to renewables; and the implications for industries, countries, and the climate. Written in a straightforward style with easy-to-understand visual aids, the book illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of renewable energy based on business fundamentals and analysis of the economic forces that have given renewables a tailwind. Usher dissects the winners and losers, illustrating how governments and businesses with a far-sighted approach will reap long-term benefits.

Merger Masters

Tales of Arbitrage

KATE WELLING AND MARIO GABELLI THE D EAL- M AK ING S E C R ETS O F T H E BE ST RI S K-AR B IT R AGE INV E STO R S

Merger Masters presents revealing profiles of monumentally successful merger investors based on exclusive interviews with some of the greatest minds to practice the art of arbitrage. Michael Price, Guy Wyser-Pratte, James Dinan, and others offer practical perspectives on how their backgrounds in the risk-conscious world of merger arbitrage helped them make their greatest deals. They share their insights on the discipline that underlies their fortunes, whether they practice the “plain vanilla” strategy of announced deals, the aggressive strategy of activist investment, or any strategy between them on the risk spectrum.

Merger Masters delves into the human side of risk arbitrage, exploring how top practitioners deal with the behavioral aspects of generating consistent profits from it. The book also includes perspectives from the other side of the mergers and acquisitions divide in the form of interviews with a trio of iconic CEOs: Bill Stiritz, Peter McCausland, and Paul Montrone. All three took advantage of M&A opportunities to help build long-term returns but often found themselves at odds with the short-term focus of Wall Street and merger investors. Told in lively, accessible prose, with bonus facts and figures for transaction junkies, Merger Masters is an incomparable set of stories with plenty of unfiltered lessons from the best managers of our time.

The Wise Advocate

The Inner Voice of Strategic Leadership ART KLEINER, JEFFREY SCHWARTZ, AND JOSIE THOMSON A PPLYI N G I N SI GHTS FRO M N EUROSC I EN C E FO R ST R O NGER LEA DERSHI P

Leadership is the habit of making good choices. This capability is no fluke: the latest research on the brain shows that we can pinpoint the mental activity associated with it—and cultivate it for our benefit. In The Wise Advocate, Art Kleiner, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Josie Thomson, give a transformative explanation of how cutting-edge neuroscience can help business leaders set a course toward better management. Mapping the functions of a manager onto established patterns of mental activity, they identify crucial brain circuits and their parallels in organizational culture. Strategic leaders are able to take a longer perspective that articulates their organization’s deeper purpose because they have cultivated similar habits in their own minds. The Wise Advocate helps managers find their own inner voice, with catalytic implications for management strategy, executive education, and business results.

The CEO’s Boss

Tough Love in the Boardroom Second edition

WILLIAM M. KLEPPER ADV IC E FOR COR P OR AT E BOA R DS , W I T H N E W CAS E STU DIES AND R ECOMM E N DAT I O N S

The CEO’s Boss, originally published in 2010, is the definitive guide to a productive working relationship between corporate boards and CEOs. Speaking to an era when company directors must monitor the actions and day-to-day operations of their CEO, William M. Klepper offers eight essential lessons to help boards operate more effectively in this bold and independent role. Since the book’s publication, Klepper has continued to develop and apply its lessons for a variety of businesses and settings.

In this revised edition, Klepper renews the paradigm set forth in The CEO’s Boss, with new case studies of companies such as Wells Fargo, BP, HewlettPackard, and Proctor & Gamble. Giving directors, executives, investors, and stakeholders the tools to make crucial relationships work, Klepper details the best techniques for selecting the right CEO, establishing a working relationship, and giving effective feedback. He affirms the importance of the social contract between directors and their CEOs, encourages directors to embrace their independence, and teaches executives to value tough love. He revisits the first edition’s case studies and derives new insights from how these companies followed—or failed to heed—the book’s precepts. He also takes a close look at the predictions he made almost ten years ago, providing new forecasts and integrating core knowledge to ensure that The CEO’s Boss remains essential in our ever-changing business landscape.

Man, the State, and War

A Theoretical Analysis Anniversary edition

KENNETH N. WALTZ With a Foreword by Stephen M. Walt O N E OF THE TWEN TI ETH C EN TURY' S MOST I N FLU EN TI A L BO O KS O N THE O RI GI N S O F WA R

“Man, the State, and War fundamentally redefined the intellectual underpinnings of realism as the still-dominant approach to understanding international politics. Waltz reshaped earlier ideas that jumbled together philosophical notions about human nature with folk wisdom about power politics, replacing them with a more rigorous statement about the implications of international anarchy for the endemic danger of war. After this book, all the rest is commentary.” —Jack Snyder, author of From Voting to Violence: Democratization

What are the causes of war? How might the world be made more peaceful? In this landmark work of international relations theory, first published in 1959, the eminent realist scholar Kenneth N. Waltz offers a foundational analysis of the nature of conflict between states. He explores works by both classic political philosophers, such as St. Augustine, Hobbes, Kant, and Rousseau, and modern psychologists and anthropologists to discover ideas intended to explain war among states and related prescriptions for peace. Waltz influentially distinguishes among three “images” of the origins of war: those that blame individual leaders or human nature, those rooted in states’ internal composition, and those concerning the structure of the international system. With a foreword by Stephen M. Walt on the legacy and continued relevance of Waltz’s work, this anniversary edition brings new life to a perennial international relations classic. “Man, the State, and War is a classic because it is a pleasure to read, a quality that has become increasingly rare in scholarly writings about international affairs. In addition to his other virtues, Waltz was a graceful and witty writer who drew easily upon literature, philosophy, history, and economics to enliven, inform, and entertain his readers.”

Nuclear North Korea

A Debate on Engagement Strategies Revised and updated edition

VICTOR D. CHA AND DAVID C. KANG Foreword by Stephan Haggard HOW TO D EAL WIT H T H E N O RT H KO R E A N N U CL EAR T H R EAT

Victor D. Cha and David C. Kang’s Nuclear North Korea was first published in 2003 amid the outbreak of a lasting crisis. It promptly became a landmark in the ongoing debate in academic and policy circles about whether to engage or contain North Korea. Fifteen years later, Nuclear North Korea remains an essential guide. Coming from different perspectives—Kang believes the threat posed by Pyongyang has been inflated and endorses a more open approach while Cha is more skeptical and advocates harsher measures—the authors together present authoritative analysis. They look at the implications of a nuclear North Korea, assess recent and current approaches to sanctions and engagement, and provide a workable framework for constructive policy. With a new chapter on the way forward for the international community in light of continued tensions, this book is of lasting relevance to understanding Korean affairs. VICTOR D. CHA

The Shahnameh

The Persian Epic as World Literature HAMID DABASHI A N E W REA DI N G A N D HI STO RY O F THE P O EM THAT S H A PED THE P ERSI A N WO RLD

The Shahnameh, an epic poem recounting the foundation of Iran across mythical, heroic, and historical ages, is the beating heart of Persian literature and culture. Composed by Abu al-Qasem Ferdowsi over a thirty-year period and completed in the year 1010, the epic has entertained generations of readers and profoundly shaped Persian culture, society, and politics. For a millennium, Iranian and Persian-speaking people around the globe have read, memorized, discussed, performed, adapted, and loved the poem.

In this book, Hamid Dabashi brings the Shahnameh to renewed global attention, encapsulating a lifetime of learning and teaching the Persian epic for a new generation of readers. Dabashi insightfully traces the epic’s history, authorship, poetic significance, complicated legacy of political uses and abuses, and enduring significance in colonial and postcolonial contexts. In addition to explaining and celebrating what makes the Shahnameh such a distinctive literary work, he also considers the poem in the context of other epics, such as the Aeneid or the Odyssey, and critical debates over the concept of world literature. Arguing that Ferdowsi’s epic and its reception broached an idea of world literature long before nineteenth-century Western literary criticism, Dabashi makes a powerful case that we need to rethink the very notion of “world literature” in light of his reading of the Persian epic.

“In The Shahnameh, Hamid Dabashi shows the global importance of the tenth-century Persian masterpiece and gives readers a strong sense of its literary magnificence. Dabashi allows us to see the world imagined by Ferdowsi in its richness and complexity eight centuries before Goethe made his influential claim for Weltliteratur and, thereby, helps us expand our sense of the world of literature. After reading Dabashi’s magisterial account of the great Iranian epic, we must return to the ongoing debates in world literature anew.” —Brian Edwards, Northwestern University

Out of the Dark Night

Essays on Decolonization ACHILLE MBEMBE

THE PAR AD OXES OF T H E POSTCO LO N I A L M O M E N T

Achille Mbembe is one of the world’s most profound critics of colonialism and its consequences, a major figure in the emergence of a new wave of French critical theory. His writings examine the complexities of decolonization for African subjectivities and the possibilities emerging in its wake. In Out of the Dark Night, he offers a nuanced consideration of the African experience that points toward new liberatory models of community and humanity. Mbembe makes sweeping interventions into debates about citizenship, identity, democracy, and modernity. He eruditely ranges across European and African thought to provide a powerful assessment of common ways of writing and thinking about Africa. Mbembe criticizes the blinders of European intellectuals, analyzing France’s failure to heed postcolonial critiques of ongoing exclusions masked by pretenses of universalism. He develops a new reading of African modernity that further develops the notion of Afropolitanism, a novel way of being in the world that has arisen in decolonized Africa in the midst of both destruction and the birth of new societies, making the case for South Africa as its laboratory. Out of the Dark Night reconstructs critical theory’s historical and philosophical framework for understanding colonial and postcolonial events and expands our sense of the futures made possible by decolonization.

A Life in History

DAVID GREENBERG, MOSHIK TEMKIN, AND MASON B. WILLIAMS, EDITORS E SSAYS A N D REFLEC TI O N S O N A GREAT A M E R I CA N HI STO RI A N

“It is a rare pleasure to read this collection of essays on Alan Brinkley and his work. The authors and editors have done a wonderful service to all of us who study American history, with a book that affords its readers the chance not only to marvel at Brinkley’s remarkable mind and incomparably decent character but also to consider what sort of person becomes a great historian.” —Eric Rauchway, University of California, Davis

Few American historians of his generation have had as much influence in both the academic and popular realms as Alan Brinkley. His debut work, the National Book Award–winning Voices of Protest, launched a storied career that considered the full spectrum of American political life. A longtime professor at Harvard University and Columbia University, Brinkley has shaped the field of U.S. history for generations of students though his textbooks and his mentorship of some of today’s foremost historians.

This book brings together essays on Brinkley’s major works and ideas, as well as personal reminiscences from leading historians and thinkers beyond the academy whom Brinkley collaborated with, befriended, and influenced. Among the luminaries in this volume are the critic Frank Rich, the journalists Jonathan Alter and Nicholas Lemann, the biographer A. Scott Berg, and the historians Eric Foner and Lizabeth Cohen. Together, the seventeen essays that form this book chronicle the life and thought of a working historian, the development of historical scholarship in our time, and the role that history plays in our public life. At a moment when Americans are pondering the plight of their democracy, this volume offers a timely overview of a consummate student—and teacher—of the American political tradition. DAVID GREENBERG,

Uneven Moments

Reflections on Japan’s Modern History HARRY HAROOTUNIAN CRI T ICAL P ER S P EC TI V E O N T H E H I STO RY O F JA PA N

Few scholars have done more than Harry Harootunian to shape the study of modern Japan. Incorporating Marxist critical perspectives on history and theoretically informed insights, his scholarship has been vitally important for the world of Asian studies. Uneven Moments presents a selection of Harootunian’s essays on Japan’s intellectual and cultural history from the late Tokugawa period to the present that span the many phases of his distinguished career and point to new directions for Japanese studies.

Uneven Moments begins with reflections on area studies as an academic field and how we go about studying a region. It then moves into discussions of key topics in modern Japanese history. Harootunian considers Japan’s fateful encounter with capitalist modernity and the implications of uneven development, examining the combinations of older practices with new demands that characterized the twentieth century. The book examines the making of modern Japan, the transformations of everyday life, and the collision between the production of forms of cultural expression and new political possibilities. Finally, Harootunian analyzes Japanese political identity and its forms of reckoning with the past. Exploring the shifting relationship among culture, the making of meaning, and politics in rich reflections on Marxism and critical theory, Uneven Moments presents Harootunian’s intellectual trajectory and in so doing offers a unique assessment of Japanese history.

A Light in Dark Times

The New School for Social Research and Its University in Exile JUDITH FRIEDLANDER T H E HI STO RY O F A MI SSI O N - DRI VEN E D U CATI O N A L I N STI TUTI O N

Founded in 1919 in the name of academic freedom, the New School for Social Research quickly became a pioneer in adult education—what its first president, Alvin Johnson, called “the continuing education of the educated.” During the 1920s, the New School became the place to go to hear famous people lecture on politics, the arts, and recent developments in new fields of inquiry such as anthropology and psychoanalysis. In 1933 Johnson opened the University in Exile within the New School, providing visas and jobs for nearly two hundred refugees fleeing Hitler. And through these exiled scholars, he re-created in miniature the great intellectual traditions of Europe’s imperiled universities.

“Friedlander’s book expertly reveals how the New School emerged and gracefully interlaces the institutional story with the lives

In this book, Judith Friedlander reconstructs the history of the New School in the context of ongoing debates over academic freedom, intellectual dissidents, and democratic education. Against the backdrop of World War I and the first Red Scare, the Hitler years and McCarthyism, the student uprisings during the Vietnam War and the downfall of communism in Eastern Europe, Friedlander tells a dramatic story of academic, political, and financial struggle through sketches of New School administrators, faculty members, trustees, and students. As this unique educational institution prepares to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary, A Light in Dark Times offers a timely reflection on the New School’s legacy, which can serve as an inspiration for the academic community today.

of individuals who fostered the school’s development. The work raises questions about the defense of academic freedom; the complexities of rescuing refugees from political and religious persecution; and the tensions of an institution that, on the one hand, adhered to principles of free intellectual exchanges and, on the other, relied on its faculty to recruit colleagues who promoted discordant issues and methods.” —Alice Kessler-Harris, Columbia University

Atheism

ALEXANDRE KOJÈVE

Translated by Jeff Love THE R AD ICAL IM P L ICAT I O N S O F T H E I S M A N D AT H E I SM

One of the twentieth century’s most brilliant and unconventional thinkers, Alexandre Kojève was a Russian émigré to France whose lectures on Hegel in the 1930s galvanized a generation of French intellectuals. Although Kojève wrote a great deal, he published very little in his lifetime, and so the ongoing rediscovery of his work continues to present new challenges to philosophy and political theory. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite that demonstrates the range and the provocative power of Kojève’s thought. Ranging across Heidegger, Buddhism, Christianity, Marxism, German idealism, Russian literature, and quantum physics, Kojève advances a novel argument about freedom and authority. He investigates the possibility that there is not any vantage point or source of authority—including philosophy, science, or God—that is outside or beyond politics and the world as we experience it. The question becomes whether atheism—or theism—is even a meaningful position since both affirmation and denial of God’s existence imply a knowledge that seems clearly outside our capacities. Masterfully translated from Russian by Jeff Love, Kojève’s biographer, this book offers a striking new perspective on Kojève’s work and its implications for theism, atheism, politics, and freedom. ALEXANDRE KOJÈVE

“Atheism is a brilliant analysis of the relationship between faith and atheism that offers invaluable insights on the formation of Kojève’s thought but also remains important in our time.” —Boris Groys, author of Under Suspicion: A Phenomenology of Media

“This splendid translation of Kojève’s erudite, eccentric 1931 text reveals him taking on the most Dostoevskian of questions with all the wisdom of Western Europe at his back.” —Caryl Emerson, Princeton University

(1902–1968) was a Russian-born French

philosopher and polymath whose influence on contemporary thought via his many disciples and detractors, from Derrida to Lacan to Leo Strauss, is vast. While most famous for his Hegel lectures, Kojève also had exceptional influence while working in the French Ministry of Economic Affairs as an important figure in the creation of the European Economic Community.

Conversion Disorder

Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis JAMIESON WEBSTER A PSYC HOA N A LYST’ S STO RY O F S E L F-TRA N SFO RMATI O N

Conversion disorder—a psychiatric term that names the enigmatic transformation of psychic energy into bodily manifestations—offers a way to rethink the present. With so many people suffering from unexplained bodily symptoms; with so many seeking recourse to pharmacological treatments or bodily modification; with young men and women seemingly willing to direct violence toward anybody, including themselves—a radical disordering in culture insists on the level of the body.

Part memoir, part clinical case, part theoretical investigation, this book searches for the body. Is it a psychopathological entity; a crossroads for the cultural, political, and biological in the form of care; or the foundation of psychoanalytic work on the question of sexuality? Jamieson Webster traces conversion’s shifting meanings—in religious, economic, and even chemical processes—revisiting the work of thinkers as diverse as Benjamin, Foucault, Agamben, and Lacan. She provides an intimate account of her own conversion from patient to psychoanalyst, as well as her continual struggle to apprehend the complexities of the patient’s body. When listening to dreams, symptoms, worries, or sexual impasses, the body becomes a defining trope that belies a vulnerable and urgent wish for transformation. Conversion Disorder names what is singular about entanglement of the fractured body and the social world in order to imagine what kind of cure is possible.

“Conversion Disorder is a wonderful book and a pleasure to read—each page sparkles with insight. What I like in this book is the frankness of the author’s self-presentation—with her doubts about her profession, her family background marked by separation, and her many readings of philosophers, all interesting, some surprising, like Bachelard, but always bringing something relevant.” —Jean-Michel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania, American Academy of Arts and Sciences

Countersexual Manifesto PAUL B. PRECIADO

Translated by K. G. Dunn. Foreword by Avital Ronell. A RAD ICAL C H AL L EN G E TO G E N D E R , S E XUA L I T Y, AND D ES IR E

Countersexual Manifesto is an outrageous yet rigorous work of trans theory, a performative literary text, and an insistent call to action. Seeking to overthrow all constraints on what can be done with and to the body, Paul B. Preciado lays out mock constitutional principles for a countersexual revolution that will recognize genitalia as technological objects and offers step-by-step illustrated instructions for dismantling the heterocentric social contract. Preciado calls theorists such as Derrida, Foucault, Butler, and Haraway to task for not going nearly far enough in their attempts to deconstruct the naturalization of normative identities and behaviors. His claim that the dildo precedes the penis—that artifice, not nature, comes first in the history of sexuality—forms the basis of his demand for new practices of sexual emancipation. He calls for a world of sexual plasticity and fabrication, and he invokes countersexuality’s roots in the history of sex toys, pornography, and drag. His claims are extreme, but supported through meticulous readings of philosophy and theory, as well as popular culture. Now available in English translation with a new introduction by Preciado, Countersexual Manifesto will disrupt feminism and queer theory and scandalize us all with its hyperbolic but deadly serious defiance of everything we’ve been told about sex. PAUL B. PRECIADO

is a philosopher, curator,

“Preciado hammers home the way we have been reduced and maimed, straightjacketed by prevailing conceptual assignments, even those of the highest order of philosophical probity. Provocative and unrelenting, the Manifesto hits us hard on every possible level of cherished existence. Respectful of his teachers and predecessors, Preciado builds on the work from which he departs, driving startling surges of insight to the outer limits of prior thinking.” —Avital Ronell, author of Complaint: Grievance Among Friends

Confronting Inequality

How Societies Can Choose Inclusive Growth JONATHAN D. OSTRY, PRAKASH LOUNGANI, AND ANDREW BERG Foreword by Joseph E. Stiglitz H OW P O LI CY CA N A DDRESS I N EQ UA LI TY WI THO UT SACR IFI C I N G ECO N O MI C GROWTH

“This book should be on the shelf of everyone who wants to understand the future of our economies.” —Dani Rodrik, Harvard University

“Building on years of research conducted by the authors at the International Monetary Fund, Ostry, Loungani, and Berg tell a compelling story—in a pithy, accessible way— about how inequality hurts economic growth and stability and how to design policies to deliver a more inclusive growth.” —Heather Boushey, executive director and chief economist, Washington Center for Equitable Growth

Inequality has drastically increased in many countries around the globe over the past three decades. The widening gap between the very rich and everyone else is often portrayed as an unexpected outcome or the tradeoff we must accept to achieve economic growth. In this book, three International Monetary Fund economists show that this increase in inequality has in fact been a political choice—and explain what policies we should choose instead. Jonathan D. Ostry, Prakash Loungani, and Andrew Berg demonstrate that the extent of inequality depends on policy choices—such as whether to let capital move unhindered across national boundaries, how much austerity to impose, and how much to deregulate markets. While these policies do often confer growth benefits, they have also been responsible for much of the increase in inequality. The book also shows that inequality leads to weaker economic performance and proposes alternative policies capable of delivering more inclusive growth. In addition to improving access to health care and quality education, they call for redistribution from the rich to the poor and present evidence showing that redistribution does not hurt growth. Accessible to scholars across disciplines as well as to students and policy makers, Confronting Inequality is a rigorous and empirically rich book that is crucial for a time when many fear a new Gilded Age.

Social Empathy

The Art of Understanding Others ELIZABETH A. SEGAL HOW R ES EAR C H ON E M PAT H Y CA N D E L I V E R S OCIAL J UST IC E

Our ability to understand others and help others understand us is essential to our individual and collective well-being. Yet there are many barriers that keep us from walking in the shoes of others: fear, skepticism, and power structures that separate us from those outside our narrow groups. To progress in a multicultural world and ensure our common good, we need to overcome these obstacles. Our best hope can be found in the skill of empathy.

In Social Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal explains how we can develop our ability to understand one another and have compassion toward different social groups. When we are socially empathic, we not only imagine what it is like to be another person, but we consider their social, economic, and political circumstances and what shaped them. Segal explains the evolutionary and learned components of interpersonal and social empathy, including neurobiological factors and the role of social structures. Ultimately, empathy is not only a part of interpersonal relations: it is fundamental to interactions between different social groups and can be a way to bridge diverse people and communities. A clear and useful explanation of an often misunderstood concept, Social Empathy brings together sociology, psychology, social work, and cognitive neuroscience to illustrate how to become better advocates for justice. ELIZABETH A. SEGAL

is a professor in the School

of Social Work at Arizona State University. She

“This book brings together important ideas about how we relate to one another and make decisions about the society we live in. Especially in times of extreme political divisiveness, we need to be reminded of the consequences of a lack of social empathy—in our individual relationships, communities, and national discourse. Anyone who is asking difficult questions about divisiveness in their own community will find Segal’s ideas useful in reflecting on questions of why and what next.” —Sarah Garlington, Ohio University

Mind Beyond Brain

Buddhism, Science, and the Paranormal DAVID E. PRESTI E X PA NDI N G THE B UDDHI SM- SC I EN C E CO N VERSATI O N I N TO N EW TERRI TO RY

Among the most profound questions we confront are the nature of what and who we are as consciousness beings and how the human mind relates to the rest of what we consider as reality. For millennia, philosophers, scientists, and religious thinkers have attempted answers, perhaps none more meaningful today than those offered by neuroscience and by Buddhism. The encounter between these two worldviews has spurred ongoing conversations about what science and Buddhism can teach each other about mind and reality. “Mind Beyond Brain embraces and celebrates the natural sciences and their materialist frameworks but also suggests that our understanding of the natural almost certainly needs to be expanded, greatly, and that the physicalist frameworks may not be the final answer to our deepest and most difficult questions about subjectivity, mind, or consciousness. Presti is a perfect narrator, host, and guide here. He strikes a wonderful balance between embracing and celebrating the advances of the sciences and wanting them to go further still.” —Jeffrey J. Kripal, J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought, Rice University

In Mind Beyond Brain, the neuroscientist David E. Presti, with the assistance of other distinguished researchers, explores how evidence for anomalous phenomena—such as near-death experiences, apparent memories of past lives, apparitions, experiences associated with death, and other so-called psi or paranormal phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition—can influence the Buddhism-science conversation. Presti describes the extensive but frequently unacknowledged history of scientific investigation into these phenomena, demonstrating its relevance to questions about consciousness and reality. If we are willing to take evidence of such often off-limits topics seriously, these new perspectives offer significant challenges to dominant explanatory paradigms and raise the prospect that we may be poised for truly revolutionary developments in the scientific investigation of mind. Mind Beyond Brain represents the next level in the science and Buddhism dialogue. DAVID E. PRESTI

Postcolonial Theory

A Critical Introduction Second edition

LEELA GANDHI A POWER F UL OV ERV I E W O F POSTCO LO N I A L T H O U G HT BRO UGH T UP -TO- DATE

Published twenty years ago, Leela Gandhi’s Postcolonial Theory was a landmark description of the field of postcolonial studies in theoretical terms that set its intellectual context alongside poststructuralism, postmodernism, Marxism, and feminism. Gandhi examined the contributions of major thinkers such as Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, and the subaltern historians. The book pointed to postcolonialism’s relationship with earlier anticolonial thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and explained pertinent concepts such as hybridity, Orientalism, humanism, diaspora, nationalism, globalization, and postcolonial feminism.

The revised edition of this classic work reaffirms its status as a useful starting point for readers new to the field and a provocative account that opens up possibilities for debate. It includes substantial additions: A new preface and epilogue reposition postcolonial studies within evolving intellectual contexts and take stock of important critical developments. Gandhi examines recent alliances with critical race theory and Africanist postcolonialism, considers challenges from postsecular and postcritical perspectives, and takes into account the ontological, environmental, affective, and ethical turns in the changed landscape of critical theory. She describes what is enduring in postcolonial thinking—as a critical perspective within the academy and as an attitude to the world that extends beyond the discipline of postcolonial studies.

What Kind of Creatures Are We? NOAM CHOMSKY

A M ASTER THI N KER A DDRESSES THE FUN DA MEN TA L T H E M E S DEFI N I N G O UR HUMA N I TY

Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time. In these lectures, he presents a lifetime of philosophical reflection on all three of these areas of research, to which he has contributed for over half a century. In clear, precise, and nontechnical language, Chomsky elaborates on fifty years of scientific development in the study of language, sketching how his own work has implications for the origins of language, the close relations that language bears to thought, and its eventual biological basis. He expounds and criticizes many alternative theories, such as those that emphasize the social, the communicative, and the referential aspects of language. Moving from language and mind to society and politics, he concludes with a searching exploration and philosophical defense of a position he describes as “libertarian socialism,” tracing its links to anarchism and the ideas of John Dewey and even to the ideas of Marx and Mill, demonstrating its conceptual growth out of our historical past and urgent relation to matters of the present.

“It’s always spring in Mr. Chomsky’s garden. Like John Ashbery, Noam Chomsky seems to come up with thoughts that are always fresh, unaffected by the polluting clichés that most of us inhale and exhale all day and night. To read his sentences is a life-giving elixir.” —Wallace Shawn, author of Essays

Why We Doubt What Women Say About Their Lives WI NNER —2 01 7 CHO IC E O U TSTA N D I N G ACA D EM IC T IT L E

“A timely and necessary defense of the women whose voices are so often drowned out or shouted down.” —Washington Post

“Essential reading for women living under a president who publicly professed sexual assault and faced no consequences.” —Rumpus

Why are women so often considered unreliable witnesses to their own experiences? Tainted Witness examines a long association of race and gender with lying that persists to this day within legal systems and everyday judgments. Bringing together feminist, literary, and legal frameworks, Leigh Gilmore considers the unsteady line between truth and fiction in search of justice, with ongoing relevance as the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements compel societal reckoning. LEIGH GILMORE

Ontology, Ethics, and the Limits of Materialism

“A remarkable and groundbreaking work, The Incorporeal intensifies Grosz’s already complex and nuanced account of bodies and difference.” —Claire Colebrook, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Pennsylvania State University

Philosophy has inherited a powerful impulse to embrace either dualism or a reductive monism—either a radical separation of mind and body or the reduction of mind to body. Elizabeth Grosz shows that not only are idealism and materialism inextricably linked but that this “belonging together” of the entirety of ideality and the entirety of materiality is an ontological condition for the development of human consciousness. A masterwork by an eminent theoretician, The Incorporeal offers profound new insight into the mind-body problem. ELIZABETH GROSZ

The name elBulli is synonymous with creativity and innovation: the three-star Michelin restaurant never offered the same dish twice. Pilar Opazo joined elBulli’s inner circle as the restaurant transitioned from a for-profit business to its new organizational model. She describes the novel forms of communication, idea mobilization, and embeddedness that continue to encourage the staff to focus and invent.

With Dogs at the Edge of Life COLIN DAYAN

“Erudite and imaginative.” —Boston Review

“One of the most memorable books I’ve had the chance to read this year.” —Inside Higher Ed

In this original and provocative book, Colin Dayan illuminates how dogs— and their struggles—take us beyond sentimentality and into a form of thought that can make a difference to our lives. She makes a powerful case for questioning what we think of as our deepest-held beliefs and, with dogs in the lead, unsettles the dubious promises of liberal humanism. Moving seamlessly among memoir, case law, and film, Dayan takes politics and animal studies in a new direction—one that gives us glimpses of how we can think beyond ourselves and with other beings.

Altered States

Buddhism and Psychedelic Spirituality in America DOUGLAS OSTO

“Will appeal to anyone interested in Buddhism, psychedelic possibilities, and understanding how both are forging a controversial new American religious experience.” —Publishers Weekly

In the 1960s, Americans combined psychedelics with Buddhist meditation to achieve direct experience through altered states of consciousness. Altered States combines interviews with well-known figures in American Buddhism and psychedelic spirituality—including Lama Surya Das, Erik Davis, Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei, Rick Strassman, and Charles Tart—and personal stories of everyday practitioners to define a distinctly American religious phenomenon. DOUGLAS OSTO

is senior lecturer in the philosophy and

“[A] fascinating study.”

to cope with and make sense of their lives as they ran out of food in a society where words such as famine and starvation were taboo.” —Times Literary Supplement

—Publishers Weekly

Drawing on twenty-four years of experience in government, Michael H. Armacost explores how the contours of the U.S. presidential-election system influence the content and conduct of American foreign policy. He examines how the nomination battle impels candidates to express deference to the foreign policy DNA of their party and the way reelection campaigns can prod a chief executive to fix long-neglected problems, kick intractable policy dilemmas down the road, or scapegoat others for policies gone awry.

Marching Through Suffering is a deeply personal portrait of the ravages of famine and totalitarian politics in North Korea since the 1990s. Featuring interviews with more than thirty North Koreans who defected to Seoul and Tokyo, the book explores the subjective experience of the nation’s famine and its citizens’ social and psychological strategies for coping with the regime. These oral testimonies show how North Koreans, from farmers and soldiers to students and diplomats, framed the mounting struggles and deaths surrounding them, showing North Koreans to be a diverse people rather than as a monolithic entity passively enduring oppression.

In this study of the place of vegetarianism within Tibetan religiosity, Geoffrey Barstow explores the tension between Buddhist ethics and Tibetan cultural norms to offer a novel perspective on the spiritual and social dimensions of meat eating. Food of Sinful Demons explores how nonreligious norms and ideals shaped religious beliefs and practices, analyzing debates over meat eating and vegetarianism from the tenth century through the Chinese invasion in the 1950s and the surge in vegetarianism in contemporary Tibet in light of evolving notions of Tibetan identity and resistance.

Using statistical data and interviews conducted in France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Erickson challenges existing international-relations theories of state behavior while providing insight into the role of reputation as a social mechanism and the importance of government transparency and accountability in generating compliance with new norms and rules.

Carceral Fantasies tells the little-known story of how cinema found a home in the U.S. penitentiary system and how the prison emerged as a setting and narrative trope in modern cinema. Focusing on films shown in prisons before 1935, Alison Griffiths explores the unique experience of viewing cinema while incarcerated and the complex cultural roots of cinematic renderings of prison life.

A N AUDAC I O US A RGUMEN T REC LA I MI N G FI LM THEO RY A N D I TS P O LI TI CA L P OSSI B I LI TI ES

Almost fifty years ago, Jean-Louis Comolli and Jean Narboni published the manifesto “Cinema/Ideology/ Criticism,” helping to set the agenda for a generation of film theory that used cinema as a means of critiquing capitalist ideology. In recent decades, film studies has moved away from politicized theory, abandoning the productive ways in which theory understands the relationship among cinema, politics, and art. In Cinema/Politics/Philosophy, Nico Baumbach revisits the much-maligned tradition of seventies film theory to reconsider: What does it mean to call cinema political? “Once again, philosophy knocks at cinema’s door and raises unsettling questions. Through an ideal conversation with Badiou, Rancière, and Agamben, Nico Baumbach retraces and relaunches a crucial debate.” —Francesco Casetti, Yale University

In this concise and provocative book, Baumbach argues that we need a new philosophical approach that sees cinema as both a mode of thought and a form of politics. Through close readings of the writings on cinema by the contemporary continental philosophers Jacques Rancière, Alain Badiou, and Giorgio Agamben, he asks us to rethink both the legacy of ideology critique and Deleuzian filmphilosophy. He explores how cinema can condition philosophy through its own means, challenging received ideas about what is seeable, sayable, and doable. Cinema/Politics/Philosophy offers fundamental new ways to think about cinema as thought, art, and politics. NICO BAUMBACH

“Salient and persuasive.” —Derek Nystrom, McGill University

Dynamic Frame should become a classic in film studies literature.” —Tom Gunning, University of Chicago

The camera’s movement in a film may seem straightforward or merely technical. The Dynamic Frame offers an innovative history of the aesthetics of the camera that examines how camera movement shaped the classical Hollywood style. In careful readings of dozens of films, Patrick Keating explores how major figures like F. W. Murnau, Orson Welles, and Alfred Hitchcock used camera movement to enrich their stories and deepen their themes. PATRICK KEATING

is associate professor of communication

at Trinity University, where he teaches courses in film and video production. He is the author of Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir (Columbia, 2010).

The New Hollywood boom of the late 1960s and 1970s is celebrated as a time when maverick directors such as Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola bucked the system. Jeff Menne rewrites the history of this period, arguing that auteur theory served to reconcile directors to Hollywood’s corporate project. He traces the surprising affinities between auteur theory and the thought of management gurus such as Peter Drucker. In founding production companies, New Hollywood filmmakers took part in the creation of new corporate models that emphasized entrepreneurial creativity. An ambitious rethinking of New Hollywood, Post-Fordist Cinema sheds new light on the cultural myth of the great director and the birth of the “creative economy.” JEFF MENNE

NAN Z. DA

Ben Conisbee Baer provides a theoretical and historical account of the relationships among modern literature, representations of indigeneity by cultural vanguards, and practices of teaching and learning in colonial zones from the 1920s to the 1940s. The first study of modernism and colonialism that encompasses the central place of teaching and learning both in modernist aesthetics and on the part of writer-activists, Indigenous Vanguards forges new links between literary modernism and postcolonialism in a transnational, multilingual frame. BEN CONISBEE BAER

is associate professor of comparative

literature at Princeton University. He translated and introduced Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay’s The Tale of Hansuli Turn (Columbia, 2011).

“Da makes a unique contribution to transpacific literary studies and suggests a new approach to transnationalism that is theoretically sophisticated, historically revisionist, and potentially paradigm changing. Intransitive Encounters is a work of great originality, imagination, and erudition.” —Yunte Huang, University of California, Santa Barbara

Nan Z. Da offers an in-depth study of nineteenth-century Sino-U.S. literary and textual interactions that highlights their lack of interpollination. She re-creates a transpacific world through original readings spanning American poetry, fiction, and transcendental ethics to late-Qing political thought, Asian American allegories of reading, and Chinese social theories of the book. Intransitive Encounter is an unconventional and theoretically rich reflection on how we ought to interpret global interactions and imaginings that do not fit the patterns proclaimed by contemporary postcolonial and literary studies.

to the Ferguson unrest in order to theorize a legacy of connections between racism and speciesism, but without posing a false analogy between the two.” —Kari Weil, author of Thinking Animals

After the Second World War, canonical directors and playwrights sought to claim a new public role for theater by restaging the era’s great trials as shows. Minou Arjomand draws on a rich archive of postwar German and American performance to reveal how theater can become a place for forms of storytelling and judgment that are inadmissible in a court of law but indispensable for public life. She unveils the affinities between dramatists like Bertolt Brecht and philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, weaving together theater history and political philosophy into a timely case for the importance of theaters as public institutions. MINOU ARJOMAND

Bénédicte Boisseron investigates the relationship between race and the animal in the history and culture of the Americas and the black Atlantic, exposing a hegemonic system that compulsively links and opposes blackness and animality.

An eleventh-century classic, The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon is one of the most important works in the Japanese canon. Gergana Ivanova examines how and why The Pillow Book and its author have been read from the seventeenth century to the present, showing how various ideologies have influenced the text and shaped interactions among its different versions. The first book-length study in English of the reception history of Sei Shōnagon, Unbinding “The Pillow Book” sheds new light on the construction of gender and sexuality, how women’s writing has been used to create readerships, and why ancient texts continue to play vibrant roles in contemporary cultural production.

Fixing Landscape reconsiders China’s Three Gorges Dam in relation to the aesthetic history of the Gorges region over more than two millennia. Corey Byrnes uncovers its unexpected connections to the cultural traditions it seems to sever, offering radically new ways of thinking about cultural and spatial production in contemporary China. He shows that premodern poetry and visual art have something urgent to tell us about a socialist experiment. Poems and paintings may not build dams, but Byrnes argues that the Three Gorges Dam would not exist as we know it without them. COREY BYRNES

Language (śabda) occupied a central yet often unacknowledged place in classical Indian philosophical thought. Foundational thinkers considered topics such as the nature of language, its relationship to reality, the nature and existence of linguistic units and their capacity to convey meaning, and the role of language in the interpretation of sacred writings. The first reader on language in—and the language of—classical Indian philosophy, A Śabda Reader brings together newly translated passages by authors from a variety of traditions—Brahmin, Buddhist, Jaina—representing a number of schools of thought. It offers a comprehensive and pedagogically valuable treatment of this topic and its importance to Indian philosophical thought. JOHANNES BRONKHORST

For the thirteenth-century preacher, exorcist, and hagiographer Thomas of Cantimpré, the Southern Low Countries were a harbinger of the New Jerusalem, filled with new kinds of saints. Rachel J. D. Smith combines historical, literary, and theological approaches to offer a new interpretation of Thomas’s hagiographies. Smith examines how these texts represent the lives and bodies of holy women to render them desirable objects of devotion for readers and how Thomas works through his uncertainties about the opportunities and dangers that these emerging forms of holiness present.

and the Magical Monk

Wizards with magical powers to heal the sick, possess the bodies of their followers, and defend their tradition against outside threats are far from the typical picture of Buddhism. Yet belief in wizard-saints who protect their devotees and intervene in the world is widespread among Burmese Buddhists. The Buddha’s Wizards is a historically informed, ethnographic study that explores the persistence of wizardry as a form of lived religion in the modern era. Thomas Nathan Patton explains the world of wizards, spells, and supernatural powers in terms of both the broader social, political, and religious context and the intimate roles that wizards play in people’s everyday lives.

Hannah Catherine Davies offers a new lens on nineteenth-century globalization by exploring the ways in which contemporaries experienced a tumultuous period that profoundly challenged notions of economic and moral order. Considering the crises of 1873 from the vantage points of Berlin, New York, and Vienna, Davies maps what she calls the dual “transatlantic speculations” of the 1870s: the financial speculation that led to these panics as well as the interpretative speculations that sprouted in their wake. Davies goes beyond national frames of analysis to explore international economic entanglement, using the panics’ interconnectedness to shed light on contemporary notions of the world economy.

As debate swirls around Harlem’s present and future, Race Capital? explores how and why it achieved its distinctiveness and significance. Leading scholars consider crucial aspects of Harlem’s social, political, and intellectual history; its artistic, cultural, and economic life; and its representation across an array of media and genres.

and Diplomacy, the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya

Since 9/11, killing and capturing terrorist leaders, or leadership decapitation, has been a central element in U.S. counterterrorism strategy. In Targeting Top Terrorists, Bryan C. Price offers a rich, data-driven examination of leadership-decapitation tactics, providing theoretical and empirical explanations of the conditions under which they can be successful. Analyzing hundreds of cases of leadership turnover from over two hundred terrorist groups, Price demonstrates that although the tactic may result in short-term negative side effects, the loss of top leaders significantly reduces terror groups’ life spans. BRYAN C. PRICE

—Ami Pedahzur, University of Texas at Austin

In the post–Cold War era, states increasingly find themselves in conflicts with nonstate actors. Finding it difficult to fight these challenging opponents directly, many governments instead target states that harbor or aid nonstate actors, using threats and punishment to coerce host states into stopping those groups. Wendy Pearlman and Boaz Atzili investigate this strategy, which they term triadic coercion. They explain why states pursue triadic coercion, evaluate the conditions under which it succeeds, and demonstrate their arguments across seventy years of Israeli history. WENDY PEARLMAN

Immigration is shaking up electoral politics around the world. In Blaming Immigrants, the economist Neeraj Kaushal investigates the rising anxiety in host countries and tests common complaints against immigration. Do immigrants replace host-country workers or create new jobs? Are they a net gain or a net drag on host countries? She finds that immigration, on balance, is beneficial to host countries. It is neither the volume nor pace of immigration but the willingness of nations to accept, absorb, and manage new flows of immigration that is fueling disaffection. NEERAJ KAUSHAL

PHILOSOPHY

Where Are the Women?

Why Expanding the Archive Makes Philosophy Better SARAH TYSON

Philosophy has not just excluded women. It has also been shaped by the exclusion of women. As the field grapples with the reality that sexism is a central problem not just for the demographics of the field but also for how philosophy is practiced, many philosophers have begun to rethink the canon. Yet attempts to broaden European and Anglophone philosophy to include more women in the discipline’s history or to acknowledge alternative traditions will not suffice as long as exclusionary norms remain in place.

“In Where Are the Women? Sarah Tyson engages with the question of how we can bring historical women philosophers and their work to our philosophical attention, arguing that we need to revise our philosophical methodology and transform philosophical history in order to do so. Her use of Irigaray and Le Doeuff is original, and the discussion of Diotima also makes for interesting reading.” —Catherine Villanueva Gardner, author of Rediscovering Women Philosophers: Philosophical Genre and the Boundaries of Philosophy

In Where Are the Women? Sarah Tyson makes a powerful case for how redressing women’s exclusion can make philosophy better. She argues that engagements with historical thinkers typically afforded little authority can transform the field, outlining strategies based on the work of three influential theorists: Genevieve Lloyd, Luce Irigaray, and Michèle Le Doeuff. Following from the possibilities they open up, at once literary, linguistic, psychological, and political, Tyson reclaims two passionate nineteenth-century texts—the Declaration of Sentiments from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and Sojourner Truth’s speech at the 1851 Akron, Ohio, Women’s Convention—showing how the demands for equality, rights, and recognition sought in the early women’s movement still pose quandaries for contemporary philosophy, feminism, and politics. Where Are the Women? challenges us to confront the reality that women’s exclusion from philosophy has been an ongoing project and to become more critical both of how we see existing injustices and of how we address them.

He explores how narrative art, thought experiments, and historical events can challenge and enlarge our existing ways of thinking about violence.

—John Hagedorn, University of Illinois at Chicago

—Richard Lachmann, State University of New York

The areas along the U.S.-Mexico border are commonly portrayed as a hot spot for gang activity, drug trafficking, and violence. Yet when Robert J. Durán conducted almost a decade’s worth of ethnographic research in border towns, he found significantly less gang membership and activity than common fearmongering claims would have us believe. Instead, he witnessed how the gang label was used to criminalize youth of Mexican descent. Durán analyzes the impact of deportation and incarceration on Latino families and youth along the border in a powerful community study. ROBERT J. DURÁN

at Albany

From the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany to the United States today, ordinary people have often chosen to turn in their neighbors to the authorities. Patrick Bergemann provides a theoretical framework for understanding the motives for denunciations in terms of institutional structures and incentives. Offering a rich account of the dynamics of denunciation as well as vivid descriptions of the denounced, Judge Thy Neighbor is a timely and compelling analysis of the reasons people inform on their acquaintances.

SOCIAL WORK

Stress, Trauma, and Decision Making for Social Workers CHERYL REGEHR

“Regehr is masterful in her ability to synthesize research knowledge and scholarship from social work and related fields and bring the resulting synthesis to the discussion of this complex topic.” —Imogen Taylor, University of Sussex

Cheryl Regehr explores the intersection of workplace stress, trauma exposure, and professional decision making in social workers. She weaves together practice experience; research on the impact of stress and trauma on performance and decision making in other high-risk professions, including paramedics and police officers; and the empirical study of competence and decision making in social work practice. This book is critical reading for all social workers who engage in high-stakes decision making, from those newly embarking on a career to expert practitioners. CHERYL REGEHR

is the vice president and provost of the

University of Toronto. Formerly dean of social work, she is a professor in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, with cross-appointments to the Faculty of Law and the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto. She is also a senior fellow of Massey College.

The Stigma Effect

Unintended Consequences of Mental Health Campaigns PATRICK W. CORRIGAN

“The strength of this book is the way it balances the interconnected components of self-stigma and public stigma. It will be of interest to people interested or involved in stigma reduction, either as advocates, policy folks, or personally.” —Stephanie Knaak, University of Calgary

The Stigma Effect examines the unintended consequences of mental health campaigns and proposes new policies in their place. Patrick W. Corrigan analyzes the agendas of government agencies, mental health care providers, and social service agencies that work with people with mental illness, dissecting how their best intentions can misfire. He argues that effective strategies require leadership by those with lived experience, as their recovery stories replace ideas of incompetence and dangerousness with ones of hope and empowerment. PATRICK W. CORRIGAN

is distinguished professor of

psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He is principal investigator of the National Consortium for Stigma and Empowerment. His books include The Stigma of Disease and Disability (2014).

A House Is Not Just a House Projects on Housing TATIANA BILBAO With essays by Gabriella Etchegaray, Hilary Sample, and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco

A House Is Not Just a House argues precisely that. The book traces Tatiana Bilbao’s diverse work on housing ranging from large-scale social projects to single-family luxury homes. These projects offer a way of thinking about the limits of housing: where it begins and where it ends.

Regardless of type, Bilbao’s work advances an argument on housing that is simultaneously expansive and minimal, inseparable from the broader environment outside of it and predicated on the fundamental requirements of living. Working within the turbulent history of social housing in Mexico, her work argues for participating even when circumstances are less than ideal—and from this participation she is able to propose specific strategies learned in Mexico for producing housing elsewhere.

A House Is Not Just a House includes a recent lecture by Bilbao at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, as well as reflections from fellow practitioners and scholars, including Amale Andraos, Gabriella Etchegaray, Hilary Sample, and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco.

Architecture now finds itself immersed in an immense cultural experiment called imaging, which has rapidly replaced the long history of architectural drawing with a set of novel computational operations whose philosophical status remains unclear. What happens to the architectural mind when it stops pretending that electronic images of drawings made by computers are drawings? If it finally considered that imaging may not be a way of drawing but is instead something that has already obliterated drawing? Signal. Image. Architecture. aims to clarify the status of computational images in contemporary architectural thought and practice by showing what happens if the technical basis of architecture is examined very closely, if its technical terms and concepts are taken very seriously, at times even literally. It is not a theory of architectural images but rather a brief philosophical description of architecture after imaging. JOHN MAY

Italy’s northern border follows the watershed that separates Northern and Southern Europe—which is now melting as a result of anthropogenic climate change. Italy, Austria, and Switzerland have consequently introduced the novel legal concept of a “moving border.”  This book charts the effects of climate change on geopolitical understandings of border and the cartographic methods used to represent them, bringing together critical essays, visualizations, and unpublished documents from state archives. By examining the nexus of nationalism and cartography, A Moving Border details how borders are both material and imagined and the ways global warming challenges Western conceptions of territory.

Vivan Sundaram Is Not a Photographer The Photographic Works of Vivan Sundaram RUTH ROSENGARTEN

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, E XC LU D I N G S O U T H A S I A

Belonging to a generation of figurative artists that emerged from the Baroda School in the early 1960s, Vivan Sundaram has consistently and passionately engaged with the historical and political particularities of his own position as a subject in India and in the world at large. Ruth Rosengarten explores how Sundaram’s practice has become paradigmatic of a mode of work that might be defined as curatorial—where the location of production and that of public display converge. He began using photography as a more active agent in his work in the 1990s, a change that coincided with his abandonment of painting as a practice and his engagement with installation. Rosengarten highlights Sundaram’s use of photographs alongside his engagement with other forms of archival material through which he (re)assembles and orders the past. RUTH ROSENGARTEN

Voices of Komagata Maru

Imperial Surveillance and Workers from Punjab in Bengal SUCHETANA CHATTOPADHYAY

How did transterritorial tendencies of repression from above and resistance from below connect Bengal with Punjab, East Asia, and the Americas? To what extent did the operation of repressive colonial state apparatus—directed to deal with passengers of the Komagata Maru forcibly turned away from Canada and with Punjabi migrants returning to India through the eastern seas—influence the intersections of anticolonial strands in Calcutta and its surroundings during 1914 and 1915? This monograph explores these early wartime clashes of positions and traces the organized postwar transmission of the Komagata Maru’s memory as a symbol of resistance among Sikh workers in the industrial centers of southwest Bengal.

She has sought alternative economic models that address these concerns and that are therefore emancipatory in nature.

Sustaining Economic Growth in Asia

JEROMIN ZETTELMEYER AND

JÉRÉMIE COHEN-SETTON, THOMAS

ADAM POSEN, EDITORS

HELBLING, AND ADAM POSEN, EDITORS

Labor-productivity growth in the United States and other advanced countries has slowed dramatically since the mid-2000s, a major factor in their economic stagnation and political turmoil. In this volume, a dozen renowned scholars analyze the impact of sustained lower productivity growth on public finances, social protection, trade, capital flows, wages, inequality, and, ultimately, politics in the advanced industrial world. They conclude that slow productivity growth could lead to unpredictable and possibly dangerous new problems, aggravating inequality and increasing concentration of market power. Facing Up to Low Productivity Growth also proposes ways that countries can cope with these consequences.

Economic growth, inflation, and interest rates have declined in Asia, just as they have in the United States and Europe. Sustaining Economic Growth in Asia explores the relevance to several Asian economies of the diagnosis known as “secular stagnation.” Leading experts on the region discuss the fiscal and monetary policy challenges of reviving growth without generating domestic financial imbalances. The essays on innovation, demographics, spillovers, and various policy proposals are accompanied by case studies focusing on Japan, South Korea, China, India, and Indonesia.

Guy Debord

Das filmische Gesamtwerk [German Language] EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY WERNER RAPPL IN COLLABORATION WITH WOLFGANG KUKULIES

In his films Guy Debord (1931–1994) worked according to the following principle: do nothing you should, do everything you should not. Created between 1952 and 1978, all the films reflect this rule and confirm what he referred to as his “detestable ambition.”

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Gathered in a single volume for the first time in German, this publication unites the texts of all of Guy Debord’s films in a new translation: from his first film made in affiliation with the Lettrist group led by Isidore Isou, Hurlements en faveur de Sade (1952), an alteration of black and white sequences devoid of images; to works that originated in the course of his participation in the Situationist International, Sur le passage de quelques personnes à travers une assez courte unité de temps (1959) and Critique de la séparation (1961); to the adaptation of his best known theoretical work, La Société du spectacle (1973), followed by the response to his critics entitled Réfutation de tous les jugements, tant élogieux qu’hostiles, qui ont été jusqu’ici portés sur le film “La Société du spectacle” (1975) and his résumé, intended as an act of closure: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni (1978). Texts and images are true to the French original edition and complemented by a list of sources for the quotes, Debord’s notes on his films, drafts of unrealized film projects, as well as the text of the TV documentary he coauthored, Guy Debord, son art et son temps (1994).

Renegotiating Japan’s Unequal Treaties

A Window on Late Nineteenth-Century Diplomacy KAORU IOKIBE Translated by Fred Uleman “This pathbreaking work of diplomatic history sheds new light on the long and winding process of Japan’s negotiations for treaty equality with Western nations in the Meiji era. Iokibe skillfully weaves together different threads to produce a compelling historical account of one of the most important policy issues of Meiji Japan.” —Kiyoteru Tsutsui, University of Michigan

CONTENTS

1. Foreign Minister Terashima Munenori and Tariff Administration 2. Foreign Minister Inoue Kaoru and Police Administration 3. The Preliminary Conference on Treaty Revision 4. Between Conferences 5. The Treaty Revision Conference 6. Conclusion: Looking Back, Looking Forward

“This book brings a fresh perspective to a classic and still important historical issue: the character of the unequal treaties imposed on Japan by the West and the character of the Japanese response to those treaties. Iokibe offers a more dynamic understanding of a history too often divided into separate histories of ‘Japan and the West’ and ‘Japan and Asia.’ ” —Andrew Gordon, Harvard University KAORU IOKIBE

Japan was compelled to open its doors to Western commerce in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet because the treaties signed at that time reflected the Western powers’ dominant position, Japanese foreign policy’s prime imperative in the initial decades afterward was to rectify these unequal treaties. This book, appearing in English for the first time, explains the political process of the negotiations attempting revision of the treaties in the context of events both inside and outside Japan.

EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WIESŁAW KRAJKA

Joseph Conrad’s Authorial Self is organized around the category of the author with some illuminating aspects of Conrad’s Polishness as the major area of consideration. It starts with a theoretical treatment of Conrad’s authorship, continues through a focus on autobiography along with his creative process, proceeds with analyses of his ideas derived from his Polish heritage as presented in his personality and oeuvre, and moves on to biographies of the writer’s relatives. This set is followed by papers on “Amy Foster,” a classic of émigré literature, considerations of translations of his works into Polish, and essays on central/south-central Europe and the sea.

The Plurality of Realities Collected Essays

LEON CHWISTEK Translated with an introduction by Karol Chrobak

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

The Plurality of Realities contains four texts by Leon Chwistek that deal with his original philosophical conception called the theory of plurality of realities. This collection is essential not only for understanding the full-fledged version of Chwistek’s conception but also for surveying its development over a span of five years (1916–1921), beginning with its first sketches and finishing with Chwistek’s most famous essay, “The Plurality of Realities,” in which he discusses four different realities: the reality of things, the reality of physics, the reality of impressions, and the reality of imaginations. Introductory essays present Chwistek against the background of the interwar period in Poland and a critical account of his thought. LEON CHWISTEK

(1884–1944) spent most of his life in

Krakow, where he was well known as an avant-garde intellectual. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, he fled first to Georgia and then to Moscow. KAROL CHROBAK

Maria Lekapene, Empress of the Bulgarians

Neither a Saint nor a Malefactress MIROSŁAW J. LESZKA AND ZOFIA A. BRZOZOWSKA “This biography is eagerly awaited in the international Byzantinological and Slavicist community.” —Ireneusz Milewski, University of Gdańsk

This book presents the biography of Maria, the tsaritsa of the Bulgarians at the side of her husband, Tsar Peter (927-969). Most scholars who have dealt with her life— usually as a side note to studies on Peter’s reign—saw her as a representative of the interests of Constantinople. Some have gone so far as to call her a Byzantine agent. This first monograph on Maria offers a balanced narrative of the tsaritsa’s life and her role in tenth-century Bulgaria through meticulous analysis of primary sources. The book is supplemented by a translation of fragments of the Hellenic and Roman chronicle about Maria. MIROSŁAW J. LESZKA

This book is an attempt to diagnose the condition of (post-)modern comparative literature and to formulate its role in the media society in a multicultural world. Andrzej Hejmej reviews the current situation, taking into account both the first concepts from the nineteenth century as well as the latest from comparative-literary scholars. The history of the formation of the main trends of comparative-literary studies is explained through the use of metaphors: the Eiffel Tower, the World Trade Center, and the Tower of Babel. Hejmej understands modern comparative literature as an interpretative practice embedded in everyday life. This intercultural perspective opens new horizons for comparative literary studies in the twenty-first century.

The Power of Finance

Financialization and the Real Economy MALCOLM SAWYER

Finance has long been an integral part of the capitalist economy, yet since the 1970s the realm of finance has burgeoned, reaching well beyond its traditional funding roles. These processes of financialization have occurred alongside globalization and the continued dominance of a neoliberal ideology about the role of markets. Finance now reaches into all aspects of economic life, from the everyday activity of the individual to the behavior of corporations and the decisions made for society as a whole. The power and fragility of the financial sector are seen in the simple fact that when things go wrong, it can bring down banks, currencies, and governments, plunging countries into generations of debt and hardship.

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

The Power of Finance explores the pervasive forms that financialization has taken, its rise as a global phenomenon, its impact on economic growth, its effect on businesses, and the costs that we pay. Malcolm Sawyer, a leading authority on financialization, gives an unrivaled overview of the development of financialization and its role both as an enabler and as a driver of inequality. He asks whether finance has become a burden to growth and what, if anything, can be done to tame and control its power. For anyone who wants to understand why the financial crisis occurred and why nothing much has changed, this is essential reading. MALCOLM SAWYER

Race and the Undeserving Poor

The Age of Populism

ROBBIE SHILLIAM

CATHERINE FIESCHI

Over recent years, British tabloid readers have become familiar with the concept of the “white working class,” “left behind” by metropolitan elites in their multicultural enclaves. This racialized narrative was weaponized to fuel the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the Brexit campaign and has emerged in the campaigns of Trump, Le Pen, and others, gaining traction and legitimacy in the guise of economic populism. This book examines the historical development of a shifting postcolonial settlement in which the racialization of the “deserving” and “undeserving” poor persists, and through which the white working class emerges. Robbie Shilliam shows that the white working class is a product of the struggles to consolidate and defend British imperial order. The book warns that by re-racializing the deserving poor as white, the political class is risking the well-being of all working classes and undermining progress toward a multicultural Britain.

Populism, or the political ideology that pits the people against elites, is proving a powerful and disruptive force. Commentators have turned to populism to explain the success of parties such as UKIP and France’s National Front and the election of Donald Trump. In this book, Catherine Fieschi examines why populist parties have become a feature of our politics. Populism’s appeal, she argues, needs to be understood as a response to the fundamental reshaping of our political, economic, and social spheres through globalization and the digital revolution. She shows how new dynamics unleashed by social media have been harnessed by populism, enabling it to make inroads into the political landscape.

The Gig Economy

The Sex Economy

The “gig economy” is a relatively recent term coined to describe a range of working arrangements that have previously been denoted as precarious, flexible, and contingent. Proponents of flexible working arrangements point to the opportunities the gig economy offers and to how technology is changing the nature of work; those against it fear that it is simply driven by the corporate need to cut costs and reduce the legal responsibilities that accompany a permanent workforce. In this concise overview, Alex de Ruyter and Martyn Brown explain the key facets of the gig economy and explore the dangers and potential it affords. Drawing on recent case studies from the UK, Europe, and the United States, it offers an authoritative guide through the theories and issues that surround the gig economy.

Sex work is increasingly often discussed both as a legitimate business in which women have control and as employment comparable to other forms of low-paid work. Drawing on extensive and detailed research, Monica O’Connor challenges the suggestion that the sale of women’s bodies as commodities can ever be acceptable. She disproves the claim that sex work is a lucrative occupation and lays bare the harm that “normalizing” the sex trade does on women’s lives, gender equality, and society as a whole, exposing the realities that constrain women locked in prostitution and debunking the notions of choice and agency.

Choices made in macroeconomic policies—such as government spending, taxation, monetary policy, and financial regulation— have distinct distributive consequences for women and men. They also shape the constraints within which efforts to advance gender equality must operate. Beyond consideration of distributive outcomes, the unpaid and nonmarket work that women perform—running a household, bringing up children—is unrecognized and uncounted in macroeconomic variables, although the economic consequences of these unpaid activities are far-reaching. James Heintz tackles the shortcomings of macroeconomics in relation to gender dynamics and challenges the dominant methods and measurements, suggesting new ways of framing macroeconomic concepts.

Women constitute the largest number of low-paid, part-time workers in precarious employment in both the developed and developing world. Historically, collective bargaining through unionization has been a major force in negotiating and delivering social justice, decent work, and fair wages. In this short, policy-oriented book, Jane Pillinger and Nora Wintour present data and evidence that demonstrate the complex and expanding areas of global action and policy making for women’s rights. They explore how the feminization of unions in both developing and developed countries is changing their bargaining agenda and the recent policy developments in institutions such as the EU and UN, and they propose a vision for the development of collective bargaining as a tool for equality in the workplace.

The Resource Curse

The Economy of the Gulf States

The “resource curse,” or “paradox of plenty,” refers to the long-established notion that countries rich in natural resources perform less well economically than countries with fewer natural resources. This short primer explores the complexities of this idea and the debates that surround it. Discussion ranges over the nature of resource booms, the benefits and costs of export-led growth, the problems of deindustrialization and manufacturing-base erosion, rent-seeking behavior and corruption, and the empirical evidence of the effects of natural-resource dependence on growth. The Resource Curse offers an accessible and authoritative introduction to one of the most perplexing issues of economic growth.

Examining Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, Matthew Gray provides a synthesis of economic history and political economy. Focusing on the period since 1945 and especially on the last twenty years, he outlines the main factors to have shaped these diverse nations, including problems of state formation and elite legitimacy, the role of oil and energy, the wider international political setting, and constraints to economic reform. The book explores the personalization of economics; the roles of women, youth, and expatriate workers; climate change and environmental problems; and income distribution. Concluding with an analysis of future challenges to the Gulf State economies, this book provides a fascinating and insightful overview suitable for a range of students and professionals.

Rethinking Global Labour

The Economics of Construction

RONALDO MUNCK

NOBLE FRANCIS

Ronaldo Munck offers a sober appraisal of how globalization has created a new global working class through the massive acceleration of capital accumulation and, concomitantly, has increased the insecurity and precarious nature of most employment. The so-called precariat may be seen as a novel and threatening idea for the northern hemisphere, but for workers of the South this is what might be deemed the default condition. Munck suggests that we are now moving beyond categories of North and South as workers of the world share the effects of global capitalism and the lessons to be learned.

The construction of housing, commercial property, and infrastructure projects for both the private and public sectors is one of the biggest industries in the world. Stephen Gruneberg and Noble Francis, two of the UK’s leading construction economists, present an up-to-date analysis of the construction industry’s business model and the risks and challenges the industry faces. The book explores the many distinctive features of the economics of the industry and looks at individual projects ranging from the construction of Dubai’s Yas Island to building a local hospital. It offers authoritative analysis and expert insight suitable for students in both business schools and departments of architecture and the built environment.

The European Single Market JOHN-PAUL SALTER

Crucial to the European Union’s economic system is the single market: the vast trading area within and around which goods, people, services, and capital move freely. This short book aims to illuminate the concept and critically examine its role. The book first examines the theory underpinning the idea of a single market before exploring in depth how it works, what is traded (and what is not), and how rules are enforced. Throughout, Salter shows how the single market is tightly bound with other areas of EU policy and can only be understood within a broader EU social, macroeconomic, and public-policy framework.

Property, Social Action, and the Legal-Economic Nexus

JOSEF SIMA

Property rights, once at the heart of classical economic orthodoxy, have been all but disregarded by today’s economists. Josef Sima shows that although the concept of property has been a focal point of the discipline of law and economics, the role it has played is fundamentally problematic and a more meaningful and relevant theory of property can be found in the writings of Carl Menger. The book shows the importance of entrepreneurially driven social order and challenges the mainstream view that monopolistic structures and legal centralism are necessary parts of a society’s legal-economic nexus.

Russia, the European Union, and NATO still share some important common interests that need to be given greater attention. A return to strategic partnership is not conceivable without resolving the Ukraine conflict, but prudent management of the antagonism in order to keep open the prospect of a peaceful new normal is crucial.

This is a close study of Gao Village twenty years after the author, an anthropologist and native of the village, wrote his original ethnography, Gao Village. It combines ethnographic analysis, personal vignettes, and a number of fascinating stories, which present a convincing yet complex picture of how Gao villagers interact with the outside world. With his sympathetic insider’s approach, the author argues that rural Chinese display great entrepreneurship; they are active contributors to China’s economic boom. MOBO C. F. GAO

Dune

Mad Max

David Lynch’s Dune (1984) is the film that science fiction—and the director’s fans—can neither forgive nor forget. Frank Herbert’s novel built a universe around the struggle for control of the desert planet Arrakis and its mystical “spice.” After several attempts to produce a film, movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis would enlist David Lynch, whose Eraserhead (1977) and The Elephant Man (1980) had already marked him out as a visionary director. What emerged is a unique vision of the distant future; an eclectic bazaar of wood-turned spaceship interiors, spitting tyrants, and dream montages—only with time becoming a cult classic. This book is the first long-form critical study of the film. It delves into the relationship with the novel, the rapidly changing context of early 1980s science fiction, and Lynch’s attempt to breathe sincerity and mysticism into a blockbuster movie format that was shifting radically around him.

Mad Max (1979) is a freak picture. Too classy and well-crafted to be lumped in with low-budget Ozploitation titles, yet completely unlike other films made during the 1970s Australian New Wave, George Miller’s directorial debut is a singular piece of action cinema, one that had a major cultural impact and spawned a movie icon in Max Rockatansky (played by Mel Gibson). This monograph examines the film’s formal qualities in detail, including Miller’s theory of cinema as “visual rock ‘n’ roll” and his marriage of classical Hollywood editing and Soviet-style montage. Taking in everything from the film’s extremely controversial critical reception to its legacy today via a string of sequels and the creation of an entire subgenre—postapocalyptic action— the book is for film students and fans alike.

The Devils

M

The most notorious title in director Ken Russell’s controversial filmography, The Devils (1973) caused a furor on its initial theatrical release, only to largely disappear for many years. This Devil’s Advocate considers the film’s historical context, its authorship and adaptation (the screenplay is based on John Whiting’s 1961 play of the same name, which was in turn based on Aldous Huxley’s 1952 book The Devils of Loudun), and its generic hybridity. Darren Arnold goes on to examine the themes prevalent in the film—this is the only film of Russell’s that the director considered to be political—and considers the representation of gender and sexuality, gender fluidity, and how sex and religion clash to interesting and controversial effect. He concludes by revisiting the film’s censorship travails, and the various versions of The Devils that have appeared on both big and small screens, and the film’s legacy and influence.

Fritz Lang’s first sound feature, M (1931), is one of the earliest serial-killer films. It laid the foundation for future horror movies and thrillers, particularly those with a disturbed killer as protagonist. Peter Lorre’s child killer, Hans Beckert, is presented as monstrous yet sympathetic, building on earlier German Expressionist films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Lang eerily foreshadowed the rising fascist horrors in German society. Samm Deighan explores the way Lang uses horror and thriller tropes in M, particularly in terms of how it functions as a bridge between German Expressionism and Hollywood’s growing fixation on sympathetic killers. The book also examines how Lang made use of developments in forensic science and the criminal-justice system to portray a serial killer, at once capturing how society viewed such individuals and shaping how they would be portrayed on screen in the horror films to come.

Creepshow (1982) is typically regarded as a minor entry in both the film output of George A. Romero and the history of adaptations of the works of Stephen King, too mainstream for the director of Dawn of the Dead (1978), too comic for the author that gave audiences Carrie (1976) and The Shining (1980), and too violent for a public turning away from gore cinema. Creepshow is here reassessed by Simon Brown, who examines the making and release of the film and its legacy. His analysis focuses on the key influences on the film, the relationship between horror and humor, and the tradition of horror comics, from which the film draws both its thematic preoccupations and its visual style. The book argues not only that is Creepshow a major work in the canons of Romero and King but also that it represents a significant example of the portmanteau horror film, blending horror and comedy and attempting to re-create a comic book aesthetic on the big screen. SIMON BROWN

Studying Horror Cinema BRYAN TURNOCK

Aimed at teachers and students new to the subject, Studying Horror Cinema is a comprehensive survey of the genre from silent cinema to its twenty-first-century resurgence. Structured as a series of thirteen case studies of easily accessible films, it covers the historical, production, and cultural context of each film, together with detailed textual analysis of key sequences. Sitting alongside such acknowledged classics as Psycho and Rosemary’s Baby are analyses of influential non-English-language films such as Kwaidan, Bay of Blood, and Let the Right One In.

Studying The Hurt Locker

Studying Feminist Film Theory

TERRI MURRAY

In this vibrant and dynamic study, Terence McSweeney offers an exploration of The Hurt Locker (2009), its stylistic and narrative devices, its cultural impact, its reception, and its relationship to the genre of the war film. McSweeney places the film in a richly textured historical, political, and industrial context, arguing that The Hurt Locker is part of a long tradition of films about American wars that play a considerable role in how audiences come to understand the conflicts that they depict. Films about a nation’s wars are never “only a movie” but rather should be considered a cultural battleground on which a war of representation is waged.

This book is aimed at helping media and film-studies teachers introduce the basics of feminist film theory. No prior knowledge of feminist theory is required. Areas of emphasis include spectatorship, narrative, and ideology. Many illustrative case studies from popular cinema are used to offer students an opportunity to consider the connotations of visual and aural elements of film, narrative conflicts and oppositions, the implications of spectator “positioning” and viewer identification, and an ideological-critical approach to film. Explanations of key terminology and classroom exercises are included; each chapter begins with definitions and explanations of the concepts to be studied. Case studies include film noir, Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days, and the work of directors Spike Lee, Claire Denis, and Paul Verhoeven.

Fortune Favors the Bold

A Woman’s Odyssey through a Turbulent Century THEODORE MODIS

Illuminations on Market Street

(a story about sex and estrangement, AIDS and loss, and other preoccupations in San Francisco) BENJAMIN HEIM SHEPARD

In the early twentieth century, a teenage Greek girl in Constantinople loses both her parents and, together with her younger sister, gets thrown into a massive population exchange between Greece and Turkey. She ends up in a refugee camp in northern Greece. With determination she creates a life in her new country, becoming a teacher in a small mountain town near Greece’s northwestern border. She meets and marries a young lawyer from a historic and tragic Macedonian family. Her story extends through a century of war and peace and is peppered with likable characters, horrific events, and a love story. The reader will also get candid and authentic glimpses on the Balkan Wars, the Greek Civil War, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and the creation of the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. THEODORE MODIS

is the founder of the consulting com-

San Francisco in the early 1990s. Cab is on the deep end of a losing streak. After having been dumped yet again, he moves to Haight-Ashbury fresh out of college. It is the middle of a recession, before the dotcom boom, and AIDS is an immediate and untreatable reality. He finds himself working in a housing program for people with HIV/ AIDS. The entire city is reeling. His clients are dying. Cab records their every word. He starts drafting a narrative of every person with whom he’s slept: those who dropped him, those he adored, and those he let go of without a second thought, to reassess what he has left behind. In between girlfriends, acting up, attempts at romance, and trying to find his place in the greater San Francisco narrative, Cab is looking for something, tracing the interconnecting stories of everyone trying to find a space in the city.

—Heiko Pleines, University of Bremen

“An indispensable guide for early researchers who often find it difficult to balance academic life with their nonacademic passions.” —Rajan Kumar, Jahawaral Nehru University

“Polese’s demystification of peer review and the highstakes gambit of academic publishing is well overdue. He lifts the lid on both overall strategies and the no less important nitty-gritty aspects.” —Jeremy Morris, Aarhus University

Now that academics are required to be teachers, managers, analysts, fundraisers, and social media animals, how do you strike a good balance between what is expected from you and what you want to do? This book is intended to help scholars to think strategically about their own career. ABEL POLESE

Philosophical and Historical Reflections on Food and Dining in Culture DONALD PHILLIP VERENE

The Science of Cookery and the Art of Eating Well is a philosophical and historical reflection on food and dining in human culture. It includes discussions of the nature of the first meals as found in Greek literature, the Roman cookbook of Apicius (the first known cookbook), the cookbook of Artusi, and Brillat-Savarin’s Physiology of Taste. These discussions are joined with contemporary observations on the importance of the traditions of home cooking and dining with friends as essential to the promotion of human well-being.

Rethinking Medical Ethics

Concepts and Principles

The Relevance of Logic in Medical Care

JEAN-PIERRE CLERO

ALEXANDER L. GUNGOV

“Clero here deepens the critical inquiry he has made

“Clero shows how a broad-minded utilitarianism 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 )

proves surprisingly congenial to the promotion of intimacy in relations of care, inside and outside of medical contexts.” —Peter Niesen, University of Hamburg

Jean-Pierre Clero examines medical ethics from a philosophical perspective, developing a theory that focuses on the values of intimacy. JEAN-PIERRE CLERO

is emeritus professor of philosophy

at the University of Rouen.

Of the thousands of medical errors committed on a daily basis, in the bulk of unfortunate clinical decisions, a significant share pertains to various logical flows and epistemological fallacies. By focusing on the logical dimensions of clinical medicine, Alexander L. Gungov promotes awareness of the logical and epistemological traps that lie in the day-to-day care of patients. Such a focus not only allows us to avoid falling into them but also demonstrates the practical value of looking at medicine from a new philosophical perspective. This much-needed book will be of interest to medical practitioners, health policy makers, patients and their families, and advanced students and scholars in medicine, the medical humanities, medical epistemology, and the philosophy of medicine in general. ALEXANDER L. GUNGOV

is professor of logic and

continental philosophy at the University of Sofia St. Kliment Ohridski. Gungov is the editor of Sofia Philosophical Review.

Who was Alexander Dubček—a naïve apparatchik, an independent thinker, a courageous liberator, or a political dreamer? Josette Baer’s biography focuses on Dubček’s childhood in Soviet Kirghizia, his participation in the Slovak uprising in 1944 against Nazi Germany and the Slovak clerical-fascist government, and his career in the Slovak Communist Party. It offers new insights into the political thought of the father of “Socialism with a Human Face,” based on archival material available to the Western reader for the first time. JOSETTE BAER

a focus on Central and Eastern European political thought at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Zurich (UZH), Switzerland.

The Holocaust in Czechoslovak and Czech Feature Films ŠÁRKA SLADOVNÍKOVÁ

Translated by Nicholas Orsillo

Šárka Sladovníková analyzes the depiction of the Holocaust in Czechoslovak and Czech feature films. While she charts the social and cultural framework in which the films were made and how this framework changed, she also focuses on the cinematic language, the composition of and narration in each film, genre aspects of the films, and convention and innovation in presenting motifs and characters, such as the division of gender roles or the character of the “good German.” Particular attention is paid to the portrayal of stereotypes and countertypes in the films.

Detailed analysis of works drawn from all genres and from all periods of Beckett’s oeuvre trace his engagement with Ireland and the impact of the country, its culture, and its landscape on his writing, from the direct social commentaries of the early prose to the haunted persistence of its memories in the later work.

Nationalist Imagination and Symbolic Politics in Russia and Eurasia in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century IGOR TORBAKOV Foreword by Serhii Plokhy

Each of the twentieth century’s dramatic transformations, from the tsarist empire to the communist USSR to the present-day Russian Federation, powerfully affected the notion of what “Russia” is and what it means to be Russian. Alongside Russia’s political instability, there is, paradoxically, a striking picture of geopolitical stability and of remarkable longevity as an imperial entity with persistent pretense to the status of a great power. Igor Torbakov investigates the emergence and development of Eurasianism as a form of (post-)imperial ideology, the crucial role Ukraine has historically played for the Russians’ self-understanding, and contemporary Russian elites’ exercises in historical legitimation. IGOR TORBAKOV

is a senior fellow at the Uppsala Institute

for Russian and Eurasian Studies and at the Swedish Institute

Jewish-Ukrainian Relations in Late and Post-Soviet Ukraine

Articles, Lectures, and Essays from 1986 to 2016 ALEKSANDR BURAKOVSKIY

“Burakovskiy has chronicled and criticized Ukraine’s evolution toward intolerance. His analyses will displease many—all the more reason to pay close attention to what he has to say.” —John-Paul Himka, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta

The collapse of the USSR provoked unease that long-underlying ethnic tensions could erupt in the post-Soviet world. Of particular concern in Ukraine was one of history’s fault lines—relations between Jews and Ukrainians. A writer and an activist during this period of change, Aleksandr Burakovskiy offers an overview of the hopes for inclusivity and the complicated reality that thwarted these hopes.

This issue deals with Russia’s post-Maidan foreign policy towards the so-called near abroad, or the former Soviet states. The Kremlin today is paradoxically following an aggressive “realist” agenda that seeks to clearly delineate its sphere of influence while simultaneously attempting to promote “soft power” and a historical-civilizational justification for its recent actions.

In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations increasingly adopted strategies of public diplomacy involving popular music. While initially limited to such genres as jazz, the second half of the twentieth century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts, including rock, punk, reggae, and hip-hop. This volume illuminates the interrelation of popular music and public diplomacy from a transnational and transdisciplinary angle. As popular music has been a crucial factor in international relations, its diplomatic use has substantially impacted the global musical landscape. MARIO DUNKEL

Network Publicy Governance

On Privacy and the Informational Self ANDRÉA BELLIGER AND DAVID J. KRIEGER

The information age has brought about a growing conflict between proponents of a data-driven society, on the one side, and demands for protection of individual freedom, autonomy, and dignity by means of privacy, on the other. The causes of this, conflict are rooted in the modern Western opposition of individual and society and a self-understanding of the human as an autonomous rational subject with an inalienable right to informational selfdetermination. Andréa Belliger and David J. Krieger propose a theory of information as a common good and redefine the individual as an informational self who exists in networks made up of both humans and nonhumans. Privacy is replaced by publicy and issues of data use and data protection are described in terms of governance instead of government. ANDRÉA BELLIGER

How is it possible to adequately capture histories of design in Africa, a continent with fifty-four countries? How can one avoid producing just another essentializing master narrative of “African design”? This book offers a change of perspective: focusing on the mobility of people, objects, and ideas—on flows between Africa and Europe as well as on a South-South axis—which allows for multiple yet necessarily fragmented design histories to be identified and recognized.

What is the logic of the design process? Departing from this question and focusing on processes of invention and discovery, Tiago da Costa e Silva investigates the characteristic feature of every projective activity, for instance, in architecture, design, engineering, and the arts. In opposition to predominant views that understand design processes as mechanical, this study draws on the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce to characterize design activities as a continuous and serendipitous interplay of processes of aesthetic experience, defining rules, and manifesting forms. Da Costa e Silva concludes that invention and discovery are intrinsic to every development in any given design context.

Resistance and the Politics of Truth

“The truth will set you free” is a maxim central to both theories and practices of resistance. Nonetheless, it is a claim that has come under fire from an array of critical perspectives in the second half of the twentieth century. Iain MacKenzie analyses two of the most compelling of these perspectives: the poststructuralist politics of truth formulated by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and the alternative postfoundational account of truth and militancy developed by Alain Badiou. He argues that a critically oriented version of poststructuralism provides both an understanding of the deeply entwined nature of truth and power and a compelling account of the creative practices that may sustain resistance.

Mental and Manual Labor in the Contemporary Political Crisis MICHAEL BRAY

The Marxist conception of the division between mental and manual labor is a critical yet unrecognized aspect of contemporary political struggles. Departing from this novel argument, Michael Bray traces the conceptual and sociopolitical history of this labor division and emphasizes how the forms of control and organization articulated by that division in practices of production, democracy, racialization, and financialization are becoming increasingly important. Critiquing the Left for its tendency to side implicitly with the powers of mental labor, Michael Bray shows that comprehending and challenging those powers is a pivotal task for anticapitalist politics today.

Emerging forms of alternative economy are changing the structure of society, redefining the relationship between center and periphery in the urban fabric. In this context, the arts can play a crucial role in formulating a concept of complex and plural citizenship. In this volume, economists, sociologists, urbanists, architects, and creative artists offer a broad and deep assessment of urban dynamics and their visions for years to come.

MARK SCHMITT

DIETMAR MEINEL, EDITORS

White trash is a liminal figure that dramatizes the intersection of race and class. Contemporary British novelists like Irvine Welsh, Niall Griffiths, and John King use this originally U.S. stereotype to interrogate the racializing discourse of class in British society. Their novels are interdiscursive reflections of the figurations of race and class that still haunt the British cultural imaginary. British White Trash is the first analysis to comprehensively examine the adaptation of the white trash stereotype in major British novels. The study thus contributes to a critical understanding of racism and classism, their cultural representations, and their underlying social processes.

While psychiatry and the neurosciences have dismissed the concept of neurosis as too vague for medical purposes, literary studies have in recent years adopted the term by virtue of its abstractness. This volume investigates the verbalization of neurosis in literary and cultural texts. As opposed to the medical diagnostics of neurosis in the individual, the contributions focus on the poetics of neurosis. They indicate how neuroses are still routinely romanticized or vilified, bent to suit aesthetic and narrative choices, and transfigured to illustrate unresolved cultural tensions.

The Mediated Myth of Lin Zexu

Social and Cultural Textures of Chinese Society

TransCoding: From ‘Highbrow Art’ to Participatory Culture

EDITOR

BARBARA LÜNEBURG

The Chinese scholar-official Lin Zexu played a crucial role in the First Opium War in the nineteenth century. Since 1978, the myth surrounding the historical figure has been used to legitimize current rulers’ political power and to celebrate dominant values. By analyzing Chinese media representations of Lin Zexu in cultural products such as feature films, digital images, documentaries, cartoons, and songs, Angelo Maria Cimino explains how multiple agents continuously generate and reaffirm the myth’s cultural network.

Between 2014 and 2017, the artistic research project “Transcoding: From Highbrow Art to Participatory Culture” encouraged creative participation in multimedia art via social media. Based on the artworks that emerged from the project, Barbara Lüneburg investigates authorship, authority, motivational factors, and aesthetics in participatory art created with the help of web 2.0 technology.

Sarah Jurkiewicz’s anthropological study understands blogging as a social field and a domain of practice. This approach underlines the significance of blogging in practitioners’ daily lives and for their self-understanding. In this context, the notion of publicness enables a consideration of publics not as static “spheres” that actors merely enter, but as produced and constituted by social practices. The vibrant media landscape of Beirut serves as a selection of samples for an ethnographic exploration of blogging. SARAH JURKIEWICZ

is a postdoctoral researcher at the

Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) in Berlin. Her research interests lie in media as well as urban anthropology, with a particular focus on translocal entanglements and migration.

Although practices of editing and mentoring are part of an author’s daily activities, they have previously been largely neglected by literary studies. This bilingual volume assembles players from the fields of literary production and theories of authorship and the writing process, who discuss the development toward an opening up of the creative writing process. They also explore theoretical approaches to an intersubjective literary practice as well as suggestions for the definition of a dialogic notion of literature in the age of online publishing.

How does historical reality interrelate with fiction? And how much are readers themselves involved in fictional literature? With innovative interpretations of various well-known texts, Nourit Melcer-Padon introduces the use of literary masks and illustrates literature’s effects on its readers’ morality. She facilitates a new perception of literary theory and of connections among thinkers such as Iser, Castoriadis, Sartre, Jung, and Neumann. The book offers a unique view on the role of the community in post-existentialist modern cultural reality by emphasizing the importance of ritual practices in literature as a cultural manifestation. NOURIT MELCER-PADON

Born to Be Criminal

The Discourse on Criminality and the Practice of Punishment in Late Imperial Russia and Early Soviet Union. Interdisciplinary Approaches RICCARDO NICOLOSI AND ANNE HARTMANN, EDITORS

Protestant Paths to the Afterlife in Early Modern English Poetry CYRIL L. CASPAR

With the advent of the Reformation, concepts of living and dying were profoundly reconfigured. As purgatory disappeared from the spiritual landscape, other paths to the afterlife were rediscovered. Thus, when life draws to a close, the passage to the afterlife becomes a last pilgrimage, a popular earlymodern metaphor that has received little critical commentary. In a rigorous historical and theological reading, Cyril L. Caspar explores five major English poets—John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, George Herbert, Edmund Spenser, and John Milton—to unveil the poetical potential of the last pilgrimage as a life-transcending metaphor.

This collection of essays explores the continuities and disruptions in the perceptions of criminality, its causes, and ways of fighting it in late imperial Russia and the early Soviet Union. It focuses on the conceptualization of criminality in various disciplines and penal practice, touching on different aspects of criminal law and anticrime policy. The volume is markedly interdisciplinary, with authors representing a variety of approaches in history and literary studies, from social history to discourse analysis, from the history of sciences to text analysis.

The proliferation of digital technology has changed our visual perception and the way we interpret terms such as “representation,” “immersion,” and “virtuality.” Kresimir Purgar examines the contemporary culture of images, arguing that we are witnessing the transitional period of images as notrepresentation-anymore and not-yetimmersion. Instead of just asking what images mean, we should ask ourselves what images are, how they appear, and what they do to us. KRESIMIR PURGAR

Topographies of “Borderland Schengen”

Documental Images of Undocumented Migration in European Borderlands JAN KÜHNEMUND

Analyzing recent documentary films dealing with undocumented migration at the Schengen Area’s fringes and against the backdrop of what has been termed the European refugee crisis, Jan Kühnemund investigates the interface between migration discourses and image discourses. As an analytical framework, he conceptualizes “Borderland Schengen” as a visual-political transnational space emerging from the interplay of migration movements and border policies. Putting the spaces and iconologies of “illegal” migration under scrutiny and aiming at establishing their protagonists as subjects, Kühnemund reads the films as attempts at discursive participation and as an aesthetic political practice.

Finding San Carlino

The Role of Geometry in Architecture

Finding, Inheriting, or Borrowing?

Construction and Transfer of Knowledge in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

EDITORS

JOCHEN ALTHOFF, DOMINIK BERRENS, AND TANJA POMMERENING, EDITORS

ADIL MANSURE,

architect, educator, and researcher, has

taught at the University of Buffalo and at the University of Toronto. He has recently conducted research into topics such as proto-histories of the architectural parametric, surface, and the architecture of clichés.

The creation and justification of knowledge in antiquity and the Middle Ages gives rise to several questions: How is “foreign” knowledge given authority? What are the mechanisms of legitimation? Are the ascriptions by the sources concerning the origin of knowledge as either inherited or borrowed traceable and comprehensible or artificial and unfounded? Does transferred knowledge create new concepts during the act of borrowing? To answer these questions, this volume is divided into three parts: After a section on theoretical and methodological considerations, two thematic sections deal with a special field of knowledge: concepts of the moon and of the end of the world in fire.

Francesco Borromini’s San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (San Carlino) is a curious artifact that continues to inspire hypotheses and geometric analyses attempting to explain its form, meaning, and symbolism. However, several parts and aspects of the church correspond neither with these reconstructions nor with Borromini’s drawings. These incongruities bring into question the very role of geometry in architecture. This book offers nuanced analytical frameworks cognizant of our post-mechanical age of (re) production and roots the church’s origin in Borromini’s baroque.

How Video Games Represent Attachment, Loss, and Grief

RENÉ BAUER, EDITORS

SABINE HARRER

Why do we play games, and why do we play them on computers? The contributors of Games and Rules take a closer look at the core of each game and the motivational system that is the game mechanics. Games are control circuits that organize the game world with their players and establish motivations in a dedicated space, a “Magic Circle,” whereas game mechanics are constructs of rules designed for interactions that provide gameplay. Those rules form the base for all the excitement and frustration we experience in games. This anthology contains individual essays by authors with backgrounds in game design and game studies, who lead the discourse to get to the bottom of game mechanics in video games and the real world.

How can videogames portray love and loss? Games and Bereavement answers this question by analyzing five videogames and conducting a participatory design study with grievers. Sabine Harrer offers both theoretical and practical perspectives on videogames and grief and suggests a design model for videogames to include grievers into game development. Overall, she explores how videogames can be used as a contemporary medium for personal storytelling.

JÖRG WIESEL, EDITORS

Aesthetic practices employ a double-hinged movement in the way they refer to connectivity. On the one hand, it seems as if connectivity in its purely functional orientation toward communicating through digital media is in itself responsible for having produced aesthetic practices and their social fields of action. On the other hand, it is precisely these aesthetic practices that, in the field of contemporary culture, elaborate the desiderata of connectivity beyond the territorial gaps they already mark out in the social and cultural sciences.

Desire indicates phenomena that are implicated in a productive ambiguity. These phenomena associate basic elements of human coexistence while also referencing complex social processes and institutions. With today’s new media we experience an assemblage of desire that maps out new relationships to the social body, to sexuality and gender questions, to ownership, and to the production, perception, and appropriation of moving images. This bilingual book brings together a broad spectrum of international positions relating to the time-based, immersive arts presented at the third B3—the Biennial of the Moving Image Frankfurt/Main 2017—which focuses on desire in the contemporary world.

OLIVER MÜLLER, EDITORS

EDITORS

Research in the field of neurotechnology raises ethical and societal questions and thus represents a particular challenge for public engagement efforts. How should formats of public outreach be shaped to encourage public reflection on science? This anthology introduces a special concept of public outreach relying on participatory events that create a productive overlap of the fields of science and art. The contributors from various disciplines discuss the relationship of both spheres, present current science/art initiatives, and locate this transdisciplinary approach within the debate on public engagement theories and higher education policy specifications.

Riding, hunting, fishing, bullfighting: Human-animal relations are diverse. This anthology presents various case studies of situations in which humans and animals come into contact and asks for the anthropological and philosophical implications of such encounters. The contributions by renowned scholars such as Garry Marvin, Albert Piette, and Kazuyoshi Sugawara present multidisciplinary methodological reflections on concepts such as embodiment and emplacement as well as a consideration of the term “situationality” within the field of anthropology.

Since Mentor, Telemachus’s advisor in Homer’s Odyssey, gave name to the figure of the “wise teacher,” fictional representations of mentoring have permeated cultural texts. This volume analyzes this narrative of mentorship, which offers a narrative practice through which ageist views of later life (and also of youth) may be undermined.

Hilkje Charlotte Hänel offers a philosophical exploration of rape in everyday life, proposing a theory of rape as a social practice facilitated by ubiquitous sexist ideologies. Arguing for a normative cluster model for the concept of rape, this timely intervention improves our understanding of lived experiences of sexual violence and social relations within sexist ideologies.
