Reflecting on the evolution of Russia studies since the end of the Cold War, this book offers a robust critique of the mainstream view of Russia and provides a more dynamic and complex model for interpretation.
The new politics of Russia Interpreting change Andrew Monaghan Whether it is the conflict in Syria or the crisis in Ukraine, Russia continues to dominate the headlines. Yet the political realities of contemporary Russia are poorly understood by Western observers and policy-makers. In this highly engaging book, Andrew Monaghan explains why we tend to misunderstand Russia – and the importance of ‘getting Russia right’. Exploring in detail the relationship between the West and Russia, he charts the development of relations and investigates the causes of the increasingly obvious sense of strategic dissonance. He also considers the evolution in Russian domestic politics, introducing influential current figures and those who are forming the leadership and opposition of the future. By delving into the depths of difficult questions such as the causes of the Ukraine crisis or the political protests surrounding the 2011–12 elections, the book offers a dynamic model for understanding this most fascinating and elusive of countries. Andrew Monaghan is Academic Visitor at St Antony’s College, Oxford and Senior Research Fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House He is Founder and Director of the Russia Research Network. Previously, he directed the Russia research programme in the Research Division of the NATO Defence College, Rome, Italy August 2016

Now in its third edition, this hugely popular title introduces ideas on international relations expressed by thinkers from the High Middle Ages to the present day
A history of International Relations theory Third edition Torbjørn L. Knutsen This introduction to International Relations theory, now in its third edition, shows how discussions of war, wealth, peace and power stretch back well over 500 years. It shows how ancient ideas still affect the way we perceive world politics. By placing international arguments, perspectives, terms and theories in their proper historical setting, it traces the evolution of International Relations theory in context.
March 2016 234x156mm | 432pp pb 978-0-7190-9581-8 | £19.99
Beginning with the emergence of the territorial state in the Middle Ages, the book follows the international ideas of sages, statesmen and scholars. It discusses early theories about the sovereign nature of the state. It demonstrates how contract philosophers like Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau paved the way for the modern analysis of international relations. It shows how Enlightenment theorists followed up with balance-of-power theory and perpetual-peace projects. It seeks to demonstrate that the contemporary science of International Relations is the outcome of a long evolution and how its core concepts and major theories have been deeply affected by international events along the way, while also showing that basic ideas have remained remarkably constant over the centuries. This has been a best-selling title for a number of years and this new edition is keenly awaited. Torbjørn L. Knutsen is Professor in International Relations at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Conspiracy theory and American foreign policy
The United Nations and peacekeeping, 1988–95
American foreign policy and the politics of legitimacy
Chen Kertcher
Series: New Approaches to Conflict Analysis
Tim Aistrope Conspiracy theory and American foreign policy examines the relationship between secrecy, power and interpretation around April 2016 international political controversy, 234x156mm | 192pp where foreign policy orthodoxy comes up hard against alternative hb 978-0-7190-9919-9 interpretations. It does so in the £75.00 context of American foreign policy 2 diagrams, 2 tables during the War on Terror, a conflict that was quintessentially covert and e conspiratorial. This book adds a new dimension to the debate by examining the ‘Arab-Muslim paranoia narrative’: the view that Arab-Muslim resentment towards America is motivated to some degree by a paranoid perception of American power in the Middle East. This narrative subsequently made its way into numerous US Government policy documents and initiatives advancing a War of Ideas strategy aimed at winning the ‘hearts and minds’ of Arab-Muslims. This study provides a novel reading of the processes through which legitimacy and illegitimacy is produced in foreign policy discourses. It will appeal to a wide cross-disciplinary audience interested in the burgeoning issues of conspiracy, paranoia, and popular knowledge, including their relationship to and consequences for contemporary politics. Tim Aistrope is Lecturer in the School of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Queensland
Zionism in Arab discourses Uriya Shavit and Ofir Winter Zionism in Arab discourses presents a groundbreaking study of the Arab–Israeli conflict. Through analyses of hundreds of texts written by Arab Islamists and liberals from the late nineteenth century to the ‘Arab Spring’, the book demonstrates that the Zionist enterprise has played the dual function of an enemy and a mentor. Islamists and liberals alike discovered, respectively, in Zionism and in Israeli society qualities they sought to implement in their own homelands.
Using more than 600 UN documents that analyse the discussions in the UN Security Council, General Assembly and Secretariat, The United Nations and peacekeeping, 1988–95 presents innovative explanations on how after the Cold War UN peacekeeping operations became the dominant response to conflicts around the globe.

£75.00 This study offers a vivid description of these changes through the analysis e of the evolution in the concept and practice of United Nations peacekeeping operations from 1988 to 1995. The research is anchored primarily in United Nations documents, which were produced following the diplomatic discussions that took place in the General Assembly, the Security Council and the UN Secretariat on the subject of peacekeeping in general and in particular the cases of Cambodia, former Yugoslavia and Somalia. These large and complex operations were the testing ground for the new roles of peacekeeping in democratisation, humanitarian aid, resettlement of refugees, demobilisation of armed forces, economic development and advancement of good government.

By developing a new analytical method of narrative discourse analysis, this study introduces new insights July 2016 from literary studies and narratology 234x156mm | 224pp into International Relations. This method examines the romantic hb 978-0-7190-9529-0 narratives of pirates in Somalia, £75.00 rebels in Libya and private military 6 diagrams and security companies in Iraq and argues that these best resonate with an audience if they are able to connect to culturally embedded narratives found in literature, media and pop-culture. Dominant romantic narratives marginalise other, less flattering, stories about these actors, in which they are constituted as terrorists and held responsible for human rights violations.

The European Union’s fight against terrorism
Cultures of governance and peace
Discourse, policies, identity
A comparison of EU and Indian theoretical and policy approaches
Christopher Baker-Beall This study examines the language of the European Union’s (EU) response to the threat of terrorism. Since its reemergence in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the ‘fight against terrorism’ has come to represent a priority area of action for the EU.
The military-humanitarian complex in Afghanistan Series: Humanitarianism: Key Debates and New Approaches
Eric James and Tim Jacoby
J. Peter Burgess, Oliver P. Richmond and Ranabir Samaddar August 2016 234x156mm | 224pp
Drawing on interpretive approaches hb 978-0-7190-9106-3 to International Relations a £75.00 discourse theory of identity and counter-terrorism policy is outlined. e Importantly, it shows how the ‘fight against terrorism’ structures the EU’s response through the prism of identity, drawing our attention to the various ‘others’ that have come to form the target of the EU’s counter-terrorism policy. Through an extensive analysis of the wider societal impact of the ‘fight against terrorism’ discourse, the various ways in which this policy is contributing to the ‘securitisation’ of social and political life within Europe are revealed. It will be of great interest to academics, students, area studies experts and policy-makers studying International Relations, Security Studies, Critical Security Studies, Terrorism Studies, Critical Terrorism Studies and EU Politics.

The American bomb in Britain US Air Forces’ strategic presence, 1946–64 Ken Young This study tells the story of the strategic nuclear forces deployed to England by the United States from the late 1940s, and details the secret agreement made to launch atomic strikes against the USSR. Drawing on more than a decade’s August 2016 research in archives on both sides of 234x156mm | 288pp the Atlantic, hitherto unknown aspects hb 978-0-7190-8675-5 of Cold War history are revealed. The book deals with the United States £75.00 Forces’ (USAF) relations with their 4 diagrams, 2 maps British hosts as well as tensions between the American commands, with e the continuous struggle to develop and safeguard the expanding base network and with the losing battle to provide the deployed bomber forces with an adequate air defence. This challenging analysis, based on extensive archival sources, will provoke and stimulate cold war historians and air power enthusiasts alike.

This volume brings together insights August 2016 which look at the intersection of governance, culture and conflict 234x156mm | 208pp resolution in India and the European hb 978-0-7190-9955-7 Union. Two very different but £70.00 connected epistemic, cultural and institutional settings, which have been divided by distance, colonialism and culture; yet have recently been brought closer together by ideas and practices of what is known as liberal peace, neoliberal state and development projects. The differences are obvious in terms of geography, culture, the nature and shape of institutions and historical forces: and yet the commonalities between the two are surprising.
Violent conflict brings together two seemingly disparate groups: humanitarians and soldiers. This mixes and convolutes agendas, blurring lines that are often perceived to be sacrosanct. Delving deeply into the history and reasons of why these two groups work in close proximity, this study provide a unique insight into the history, ethical dilemmas and policy conundrums when aid workers operate close to the military. Using Afghanistan as a case study, analytical rigour, deep primary research and field knowledge are combined in an exceptional contribution to this important area. This book gives scholars and practitioners alike a nuanced perspective on the challenges faced by aid workers, military personnel and decision-makers alike in countries affected by violent conflicts, hosting foreign military interventions and receiving international aid.

This book considers the ways that representations of Africa have contributed to the changing nature of British national identity. Using May 2016 interviews, photo archives, media coverage, advertisements, and web 234x156mm | 240pp material, the book focuses on major pb 978-1-7849-9388-7 Africa campaigns: the abolition of £17.99 slavery, anti-apartheid, ‘Drop the Debt’, and ‘Make Poverty History’. Using a hybrid theoretical framework, the book argues that the representation of Africa has been mainly about imagining virtuous Britishness rather than generating detailed understandings of Africa. The book develops this argument through a historical review of 200 years of Africa campaigning. It also looks more closely at recent and contemporary campaigning, opening up new issues and possibilities for campaigning: the increasing use of consumer identities, electronic media, and aspects of globalisation. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in postcolonial politics, relations between Britain and Africa, and development studies.

Islamic charities and Islamic humanism in troubled times Series: Humanitarianism: Key Debates and New Approaches
Jonathan Benthall This book is the fruit of twenty years’ reflection on Islamic charities, both practically and as a key to understanding the crisis in contemporary Islam. On the one hand Islam is undervalued as a moral and political force whose admirable qualities are epitomised in its strong tradition of charitable giving. On the other hand, it suffers from a crisis of authority that cannot be blamed entirely on the history of colonialism and stigmatisation to which Muslims have undoubtedly been subjected – most recently, as a result of the ‘War on Terror’.

Turkish immigration, art and narratives of home in France
By charting the ideas that informed and shaped Ed Miliband’s attempt to re-imagine social democracy, this book shows that he tried but failed in that task. This failure is one of the several reasons why ‘Milibandism’ was so overwhelmingly rejected by voters at the 2015 general election.
Annedith Schneider Turkish immigration, art and narratives of home in France argues for a cultural, rather than a sociological or economic, approach to understanding how immigrants become part of their new country. In contrast to the language of integration or assimilation which evaluates an immigrant’s success in relation to a static endpoint (e.g. integrated or not), ‘settling’ is a more useful metaphor. Immigrants and their descendants are not definitively ‘settled’, but rather engage in an ongoing process of adaptation. In order to understand this process of settling, it is important to pay particular attention to immigrants not only as consumers, but also as producers of culture, since artistic production provides a unique and nuanced perspective on immigrants’ sense of home and belonging, especially within the multi-generational process of settling. In order to anchor these larger theoretical questions in actual experience, this book looks at music, theatre and literature by artists of Turkish immigrant origin in France.

A political sociology of the European Union
Internet-mediated participation beyond the nation state
Reassessing constructivism Series: Europe in Change
Edited by Jay Rowell and Michel Mangenot The study of the European Union has historically been a theoretical battleground. Since the 1990s, new June 2016 theoretical directions such as neo234x156mm | 272pp institutionalism, multi-level governance pb 978-1-7849-9394-8 and constructivism have provided a £17.99 new impetus. However, despite these new inroads, empirical work has often 7 diagrams, 9 tables remained sociologically and empirically underspecified. This volume seeks to bridge the gap between theory and fieldwork by developing an actor-centred political sociology. In doing so, the volume engages in a critical dialogue with the constructivist framework and proposes to build on its insights through a sociological hardening centred on European actors. The renewal of European studies through political sociology is only useful if it generates new understandings through empirical observation. This volume seeks to take a new tack on constructivism by asking what it is that Europe constructs by looking at three areas– social spaces and professions, policy ‘problems’ and policies and policy instruments such as the Eurobarometer. Jay Rowell is researcher in Sociology at the CNRS, University of Strasbourg and Director of the Centre for European Political Sociology (GSPE)
The Labour Party under Ed Miliband Trying but failing to renew social democracy Eunice Goes Was Miliband successful at turning the page on New Labour and a re-imagining social democracy for the post-global financial crisis era? This study maps the ideas – old and new – that were debated and adopted by the Labour Party under Miliband and shows how they were transformed into policy proposals and adapted to contemporary circumstances. It seeks to demonstrate that the Labour Party under Miliband tried but failed to renew social democracy. This failure is one of the several reasons why ‘Milibandism’ was so overwhelmingly rejected by voters at the 2015 general election. Goes offers a thought-provoking perspective on how political parties develop their thinking and political blueprints that will appeal to scholars and students of British politics and ideologies and to anyone interested in contemporary debates about social democracy.

The book evaluates two multi-stakeholder consultation processes where the internet played an important mediating role. It critically evaluates multi-stakeholderism as well as the potentials and constraints of the internet in terms of mediating or facilitating such consultation processes at international and regional levels of governance. It also addresses the perceived impact of civil society organisations on decision-making processes beyond the nation state and, in turn, the impact of such participatory experiments on civil society itself.

Geographies of transnational solidarity Series: Perspectives on Democratic Practice

Through July 2016 a detailed study of a grassroots 216x138mm | 224pp peasants’ network in Asia (People’s pb 978-1-7849-9383-2 Global Action), an international trade £17.99 union network (the International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mining 2 tables and General Workers) and the Social Forum process, it analyses some of the global justice movement’s component parts, operational networks and their respective dynamics, strategies and practices. The authors argue that the emergence of new globally-connected forms of collective action against neoliberal globalisation are indicative of a range of placespecific forms of political agency that coalesce across geographic space at particular times, in specific places, and in a variety of ways.

Specifically, the book shows how the reconciliation discourse brings about the marginalisation and neutralisation of political claims and identities of local post-conflict populations by producing these societies as being composed of the ‘victims’ and ‘perpetrators’ of past human rights violations which are first and foremost in need of reconciliation and healing.

It traces debates over strategy amongst the party elite and scrutinises the actions of the leadership. It also considers four particular dilemmas for contemporary Conservatism: European integration; national identity and the ‘English Question’; social liberalism versus social authoritarianism; and the problems posed by a neoliberal political economy. The book argues that the ideological legacy of Thatcherism played a central role in framing and shaping these intra–party debates, and that an appreciation of this is vital for explaining the nature and limits of the Conservatives’ renewal under Cameron.

A detailed social and economic history of Ireland during the Second World War, revealing the hidden story of the Irish Emergency.
Ireland during the Second World War Farewell to Plato’s Cave Bryce Evans In this book detailing the social and economic history of Ireland during the Second World War, Bryce Evans reveals the real story of the Irish emergency. Revealing just how precarious the Irish state’s economic position was at the time, the book examines the consequences of Winston Churchill’s economic war against neutral Ireland. It explores how the Irish government coped with the crisis and how ordinary Irish people reacted to emergency state control of the domestic marketplace. A hidden history of black markets, smugglers, rogues and rebels emerges, providing a fascinating slice of real life in Ireland during a crucial period in world history. As the first comparison of economic and social conditions in Ireland with those of the other European neutral states – Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Portugal – the book, now available in paperback, will make essential reading for the informed general reader, students and academics alike.

Irish adventures in nation building
Laura Cahillane
Bryan Fanning
Drafting the Irish Free State Constitution challenges the myths surrounding the Irish Free Constitution by analysing the document in its proper historical context, by looking at how the Constitution was drafted and elucidating the true nature of the document. It examines the reasons why the Constitution did not function as anticipated and investigates whether the failures of the document can be attributed to errors of judgement in the drafting process or to subsequent events and treatment of the document.
Irish adventures in nation building consists of eighteen mostly chronological essays examining the debates and processes that have shaped the modernisation of Ireland since the beginning of the twentieth century. The vantage points examined include those of prominent revolutionaries, cultural nationalists, clerics, economists, sociologists, June 2016 political scientists, public intellectuals, 234x156mm | 340pp journalists, influential civil servants, political leaders and activists who hb 978-1-7849-9322-1 weighed into debates about the £75.00 condition of Ireland and where it was pb 978-1-7849-9323-8 going. Topics considered range from why Patrick Pearse’s ideas about £18.99 education were ignored to why Ireland has been recently so open to large-scale immigration, from the intellectual conflicts of the 1930s to the future of Irish identity. This is a genuinely multi-disciplinary book that offers an accessible overview of how Ireland and what it means to be Irish have changed during the last century.

The Irish Parliamentary Party at Westminster, 1900–18
New in paperback
The Anglo-Irish agreement Rethinking its legacy
Conor Mulvagh
Edited by Arthur Aughey and Cathy Formley-Heenan
The key to understanding the emergence of the independent Irish state lies in the history of Home Rule. This book offers the most comprehensive examination to date of the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) at Westminster during the years of John Redmond’s chairmanship, 1900–18. The IPP was both the most powerful ‘third party’ and the most significant parliamentary challenger to the Union in the history of the United Kingdom up until the emergence of the Scottish National Party.
The 30th anniversary of the Anglo-Irish Agreement provides an appropriate opportunity to re-examine its legacy, because after its signing nothing was ever quite the same again. How and why that is so is the subject of this book. The book provides new perspectives on how the Anglo-Irish Agreement influenced the nature and direction of the subsequent peace process by examining it through the key concepts of the Northern Ireland conflict. The objective is not only to understand the Anglo-Irish Agreement’s momentary impact but also its status as an enduring moment of political modification.
These years saw the apparent triumph of the Home Rule cause when the Government of Ireland Act was signed into law in September 1914, but this false dawn led to the demise and electoral destruction of the IPP in 1918 when the party lost all but six seats to the political heirs of the 1916 Rising: Sinn Féin.

May 2016 234x156mm | 256pp pb 978-1-7849-9396-2 £17.99
The book draws on extensive archive 1 diagram, 4 tables research in London and Dublin on the 1970s power-sharing experiment, and on interviews with senior officials and political figures from the two capitals — as well as reconciliation practitioners — about the negotiation and chequered implementation of the Belfast agreement. It shows how stereotyped conceptions of the problem as a product of ‘ancient hatreds’, allied to solutions based on Realpolitik, have failed to transform Northern Ireland from a fragile peace, following the exhaustion of protracted paramilitary campaigns, to genuine reconciliation. It concludes with practical proposals for constitutional reforms which would favour genuine power-sharing — rather than merely sharing power out — and set Northern Ireland on the road to the ‘normal’, civic society its long-suffering residents desire. It will be essential reading not only for academics and postgraduates interested in ethnic conflict but also for policy-makers who confront it in practice.

In this original account of decision-making and policy formation around Irish hydrocarbons from 1957 to 2014, the development of the Irish model is traced in the context of occurrences in political economy; nationally and internationally. Other models of resource management are also examined and a study of Norway reveals multi-level forces which influence hydrocarbon management. Using those factors to critique the Irish model, the consequences of Irish policies are uncovered and a blueprint for an alternative framework for hydrocarbon management is offered.

Debating nationhood and government in Britain, 1885–1939 Perspectives from the ‘four nations’ Series: Devolution
Edited by Duncan Tanner, Chris Williams, Andrew Edwards and W. P. Griffith
Licenced Larceny
This book is the first in-depth study of the debates over devolution in the four nations of the UK in the period up to 1939. It explores divergent trends and attitudes towards the principle of devolution at both local and national (UK) levels, explains the limitations of devolution as a political ideal and the inherent contradictions in the debates over devolution which were unresolvable in the period under study. The book also demonstrates the enduring potency of an all-British context and of the influence and power of those who wished to defend the status quo. It investigates the role of national – and Imperial – identities in the debates over devolution, highlighting the continuing value and importance of ‘Britishness’ and British identity as vital factors in moulding popular opinion and support for established systems of governance. In so doing, the book offers fresh perspectives on the development of nationalisms in the ‘Celtic fringe’ during this period and demonstrates the problems and limitations of such identities as ways of mobilising political opposition.

From entertainment to citizenship
www.m a n ch esteru niver s it y p ress .co. u k
Licensed larceny is best viewed as a proxy for how for how effectively elites have constructed institutions that extract value from the rest of society. For inequality is not just a problem of poverty and the poor; it is as much a problem of wealth and the rich. The provision of public services is one area which is increasingly being reconfigured to extract wealth upward to the one per cent, notably through so-called Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). The push for PPPs is not about building infrastructure for the benefit of society but about constructing new subsidies that benefit the already wealthy. It is less about financing development than developing finance. Understanding and exposing these processes is essential if inequality is to be challenged. But equally important is the need for critical reflection on how the wealthy are getting away with it. What does the wealth gap suggest about the need for new forms of organizing by those who would resist elite power? Nicholas Hildyard works with the research and solidarity group, The Corner House, UK

Sociology and anthropology
This book presents a wide range of important, lively and engaging readings, aiming to capture the originality of Bauman’s special way of doing sociology and all the complexity of his core ideas, in a way that connects with twenty-first-century minds.
The new Bauman reader Thinking sociologically in liquid modern times Edited by Tony Blackshaw Zygmunt Bauman has written more than 70 books over five decades, most taking a single subject and finding doors to open it in all directions. His work is an essential reference point in sociology, but it is time that everyone caught up with him. In this book Tony Blackshaw doesn’t just tell us that Bauman is a massive star in sociology, he demonstrates why his light shines brighter than that of almost any other intellectual figure in the world today by offering his readers deep insights into the ‘Bauman Effect’. The new Bauman reader is two books in one. On the one hand, it is a critical introduction to a vital and inspiring sociologist who stands against the predictable in ‘majority’ sociology to draw out daring and new insights from which we can all learn. On the other, it is an anthology of his work chosen with the specific aim of guiding readers, whether undergraduates, postgraduates, academics or general readers, to Bauman’s original way of ‘thinking sociologically’, which is as irresistible as the ‘liquid’ metaphor that guides it.

Immersion Marathon swimming, embodiment and identity Series: New Ethnographies
Karen Throsby Immersion is about the extreme sport of marathon swimming. Drawing on extensive (auto)ethnographic data, Immersion explores the embodied and social processes of becoming a marathon swimmer and investigates how social belonging is produced and policed. Using marathon swimming as a lens, this foundation provides the basis for an exploration of what constitutes the ‘good’ body in contemporary neoliberal society across a range of sites including charitable swimming, fatness, gender and health. The book argues that the self-representations of marathon swimming are at odds with its lived realities, and that this reflects the entrenched and limited discursive resources available for thinking about the sporting body in the wider social and cultural context. The book is aimed primarily at readers at undergraduate level and upwards with an interest in sociology, the sociology of the body, the sociology of sport, gender and the sociology of health and illness.

Laura Jeffery The Chagos islanders were forcibly uprooted from the Chagos March 2016 Archipelago in the Indian Ocean between 1965 and 1973. This is the 234x156mm | 224pp first book to compare the experiences pb 978-1-7849-9382-5 of displaced Chagos islanders in £17.99 Mauritius with the experiences of those Chagossians who have moved to the UK since 2002. It thus provides a unique ethnographic comparative study of forced displacement and onward migration within the living memory of one community. Based on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork in Mauritius and Crawley (West Sussex), the six chapters explore Chagossians’ challenging lives in Mauritius, the mobilisation of the community, reformulations of the homeland, the politics of culture in exile, onward migration to Crawley, and attempts to make a home in successive locations. Jeffery illuminates how displaced people romanticise their homeland through an exploration of changing representations of the Chagos Archipelago in song lyrics. Offering further ethnographic insights into the politics of culture, she shows how Chagossians in exile engage with contrasting conceptions of culture ranging from expectations of continuity and authenticity to enactments of change, loss and revival.
Exoticisation undressed is an innovative ethnography that makes visible the many layers through which our understandings of indigenous cultures are filtered and their inherent power to distort and refract understanding. The book focuses in detail on the clothing practices of the Emberá in Panama, an Amerindian ethnic group, who have gained national and international visibility through their engagement with indigenous tourism. The very act of gaining visibility while wearing indigenous attire has encouraged among some Emberá communities a closer identification with an indigenous identity and a more confident representational awareness. The clothes that the Emberá wear are not simply used to convey messages, but also become constitutive of their intended messages. By wearing indigenousand-modern clothes, the Emberá–who are often seen by outsiders as shadows of a vanishing world–reclaim their place as citizens of a contemporary nation. Through reflexive engagement, Exoticisation undressed exposes the workings of ethnographic nostalgia and the Western quest for a singular, primordial authenticity, unravelling instead new layers of complexity that reverse and subvert exoticisation.

Paradoxes of hierarchy and authority in the squatters movement in Amsterdam
Series: New Ethnographies
Nazima Kadir
Hilary Pilkington
The autonomous life? is an ethnographic study of the internal dynamics of a subcultural community that defines itself as a social movement. This study concerns itself with the ideological and practical paradoxes at work within the micro-social dynamics of the backstage, an area that has so far been neglected in social movement studies.

Passion and politics in the English Defence League
Loud and proud is an ethnographic study of grassroots activists in the English Defence League (EDL). Setting the findings within contemporary debates on race and racism, Islamophobia, social movements and the far right, the author draws on interviews, informal conversations and extensive observation at EDL events to explore and explain the gap between the public image of the movement as violent Islamophobic and racist organisation and individual activists’ understanding of it as ‘one big family’. Presenting them neither as duped by a charismatic leader nor working–class anti-heroes, this book introduces EDL activists as individuals with real lives whose diverse trajectories in and out of activism are embedded in personal life stories.

Conclusion: Passion and politics Appendices Index
The central question is how hierarchy and authority function in a social movement subculture that disavows such concepts. The squatters’ movement, which defines itself primarily as anti-hierarchical and anti-authoritarian, is profoundly structured by the unresolved and perpetual contradiction between both public disavowal and simultaneous maintenance of hierarchy and authority within the movement. This study analyses how this contradiction is then reproduced in different micro-social interactions, examining the methods by which people negotiate minute details of their daily lives as squatter activists in the face of a fun house mirror of ideological expectations reflecting values from within the squatter community, that, in turn, often refract mainstream, middle–class norms. Nazima Kadir is an Urban Anthropologist based in London Prior to squatting houses in Amsterdam, she received awards from the Fulbright program and the National Science Foundation

‘This is far and away the best ethnography of a squatters movement, or really any European anti-authoritarian movement, I have yet to come across. Nazima Kadir’s bold interrogation of the concept of ‘autonomy’ alone is well worth the ticket. But the book is much more. Combining vivid and sensitive ethnography with a willingness to ask challenging and fundamental questions about contemporary anti-authoritarian ideas, this book does everything good anthropology – the best anthropology – should do. I hope it provides a model for the ethnography of social movements in the future.’ David Graeber, Professor at the London School of Economics, activist and author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011) and The Democracy Project (2013)

Governing the dead Sovereignty and the politics of dead bodies
This book provides a theoretically grounded introduction to new and emerging approaches to public engagement and research communication.
Series: Human Remains and Violence
Edited by Finn Stepputat In most of the world, the transition from life to death is a time of intense presence of states and other forms of authority. Focusing on the relationship between bodies and sovereignty, Governing the dead explores how, by whom and with what effects dead bodies are governed in conflict and non-conflict contexts across the world, including an analysis of the struggles over ‘proper burials’; the repatriation of dead migrants; abandoned cemeteries; exhumations; ‘feminicide’; the protection of dead drug-lords; and the disappeared dead. Mapping theoretical and empirical terrains, this volume suggests that the management of dead bodies is related to the constitution and membership of states and non-state entities that claim autonomy and impunity.

Creative research communication Theory and practice Clare Wilkinson and Emma Weitkamp Aimed at scholars interested in engaging the public with their research and postgraduate students exploring the practical aspects of research communication, this book provides a theoretically grounded introduction to new and emerging approaches to public engagement and research communication. Split into three sections, the reader first explores the historical approaches and current drivers for public engagement with research. Part two explores practical approaches to research engagement, from face–to–face communication in novel settings, such as festivals, through to artistic approaches, before considering new and emerging digital tools and approaches. Each practical chapter is theoretically grounded, exploring issues such as audience, interactivity, and impact. The final section explores ethical considerations in relation to public engagement as well as discussing the way that research communication fits into wider discussions about the impact of research, before concluding with a discussion around disseminating the success (or otherwise) of novel approaches to public engagement to wider groups, including public engagement practitioners.

England and the 1966 World Cup A cultural history John Hughson England and the 1966 World Cup presents a cultural analysis of what is considered a key ‘moment of modernity’ in the nation’s post-war history. Regarded as having an importance beyond its primary sporting purpose, the World Cup in England is examined within the complexity of the cultural, social and political changes that characterised the mid-1960s. Yet, although addressing the importance of non-sport-related connections, the book maintains a focus on football, discussing it as a ‘cultural form’ and presenting an original perspective on the aesthetic accomplishment in football tactics by England’s manager, Alf Ramsey. The study considers the World Cup in relation to the cup tradition, England as the World Cup host nation, the England squad and masculinity, the modernism of England’s manager Alf Ramsey, design and commercial aspects of the World Cup, a critical engagement within existing academic accounts, and an examination of how England’s victory has been remembered and commemorated.

Cinema, democracy and perfectionism Joshua Foa Dienstag in dialogue Series: Critical Powers
Edited by Joshua Foa Dienstag In the lead essay for this volume, Joshua Foa Dienstag engages in a critical encounter with the work of Stanley Cavell on cinema, focusing sceptical attention on the claims made for the contribution of cinema to the ethical character of democratic life.
July 2016 234x156mm | 236pp
In this debate, Dienstag mirrors the celebrated dialogue between Rousseau and Jean D’Alembert on theatre, casting Cavell as D’Alembert in his view that we can learn to become better citizens and better people by observing a staged representation of human life, with Dienstag arguing, with Rousseau, that this misunderstands the relationship between original and copy, even more so in the medium of film than in the medium of theatre.

Sport and technology An actor-network theory perspective Series: Globalizing Sport Studies
Roslyn Kerr How do new technologies come to be used in sport? This book provides an answer that moves beyond simple functionality. It argues that while technologies must work in order to be used, the functionality of the technology is less relevant for athletes and sporting bodies where there are myriad of other factors that contribute to their decisions to utilize particular technologies. Few doubt the complexity of producing an elite athletic performance; the high level of training, combined with intense competition plus pressure from media and sponsors can be challenging for athletes and sporting bodies to negotiate. While exploring how these factors affect how technology is utilized in sport, the study also demonstrates how the technologies themselves influence sporting practice Sport and technology offers an inside view into elite sport and the part that technology plays in training, competition and broadcasting. It makes fascinating reading for anyone interested in elite sporting practice in the twenty-first century while offering theoretical insights relevant to sport and sociology students and scholars.
Dienstag’s provocative and stylish essay is debated by an exceptional group of interlocutors comprising Clare Woodford, Tracy B. Strong, Margaret Kohn, Davide Panagia and Thomas Dumm. The volume closes with a robust response from Dienstag to his critics. Joshua Foa Dienstag is Professor of Political Science and Professor of Law at University of California Los Angeles

Addresses a series of questions concerning the relationship between anthropological understandings of the world, sensory perception and aesthetic practices.
Beyond text? Critical practices and sensory anthropology Edited by Rupert Cox, Andrew Irving and Christopher Wright Beyond text? is about the relationship between anthropological understandings of the world, sensory perception and aesthetic practices. It suggests that if different sensory experiences embody and facilitate different kinds of knowledge, then we need to develop new methods and more creative forms of representation that are not based solely around text or on correspondence theories of truth. The volume brings together leading figures in anthropology, visual and sound studies to explore how knowledge, sensation and embodied experiences can be researched and represented by combining different visual, aural and textual forms which it demonstrates through an accompanying DVD. The book and DVD make an argument for a necessary, critical development in anthropological ways of knowing that take place not merely at the level of theory and representation but also through innovative fieldwork methods and media practices.

Beginning film studies Second edition Series: Beginnings
Andrew Dix Beginning film studies offers the ideal introduction to this vibrant subject. Written accessibly and with verve, it ranges across the key topics and manifold approaches to film studies. Andrew Dix has thoroughly updated the first edition, and this new volume includes new case studies, overviews of recent developments in the discipline, and up-to-the-minute suggestions for further reading. The book begins by considering some of film’s formal features – mise-enscène, editing and sound – before moving outwards to narrative, genre, authorship, stardom and ideology. Later chapters on film industries and on film consumption – where and how we watch movies – assess the discipline’s recent geographical ‘turn’. The book references many film cultures, including Hollywood, Bollywood and contemporary Hong Kong. Case studies cover such topics as sound in The Great Gatsby and narrative in Inception. The superhero movie is studied; so too is Jennifer Lawrence. Beginning film studies is also interactive, with readers invited throughout to reflect critically upon the field. Andrew Dix is Lecturer in American Studies at Loughborough University May 2016

Capital and popular cinema The dollars are coming! Valentina Vitali Popular cinema has mostly been discussed from a ‘cult’ perspective that celebrates uncritically its ‘transgressive’ qualities. Capital and popular cinema responds to the need for a more solid academic approach by situating ‘low’ film genres in their economic and a culturally-specific contexts and by exploring the interconnections between those contexts, the immediate industrial-financial interests sustaining the films, and the films’ aesthetics. Through the examination of three different cycles in film production – the Italian giallo of Mario Bava, the Mexican films of Fernando Méndez, and the Hindi horror cinema of the Ramsay Brothers – Capital and popular cinema proposes a comparative approach that accounts for the whole of a national film industry’s production (‘popular’ and ‘canonical’), and is applicable to the study of film genres globally. Based on new research, the book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and scholars of cult and exploitation cinema, genre cinema, national cinema, film and media theory, and area studies.

Space and being in contemporary French cinema James S. Williams This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche and Claire Denis. Whatever their chosen habitats or shifting terrains, each of these highly distinctive auteurs has developed unique strategies of representation and framing that reflect a profound investment in the geophysical world. The book proposes that we think about cinematographic space in its many different forms simultaneously (screenspace, landscape, narrative space, soundscape, spectatorial space). Through a series of close and original readings of selected films, it posits a new ‘space of the cinematic subject’. Accessible and wide-ranging, this volume opens up new areas of critical enquiry in the expanding interdisciplinary field of space studies. It will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working not only in film studies and film philosophy, but also in French/ Francophone studies, postcolonial studies, gender and cultural studies.

‘Space and being in contemporary French cinema undertakes an ambitious and compelling examination of the spaces of recent French cinema that delves into the ways that space is framed, inhabited, and experienced visually and auditorily. While firmly in the lineage of film studies’ spatial turn, Space and being engages in original and insightful ways with cinematic theories of space by analyzing the effects created by use of the hors-champs, motion, sound, color, and intertextuality ... Space and being remains essential for specialists of contemporary French cinema and will pique the interest of all scholars working in all areas of contemporary French and Francophone studies.’ Michael Gott, University of Cincinnati, Contemporary French Civilization

The documentary diaries Working experiences of a non-fiction filmmaker Alan Rosenthal How do you make a successful documentary in an era of media turmoil, network disruption and increasing financial restrictions? This is the question Alan Rosenthal, distinguished international filmmaker and teacher, sets out to answer in The documentary diaries. Using seven of his recent releases as case studies – ranging from high-budget historical and political documentaries to shoestring observational films and hybrid docudramas – he explores with style and humour the challenges facing the contemporary documentarian, and demonstrates how they can be overcome. Numerous aspects of film production are examined, notably proposal and script writing, fund raising, managing co-productions, dealing with commissioning editors and choosing distributors. Additional mini-chapters provide extra perspective on key topics, and the book is completed by a wealth of supplementary material, including excerpts from script drafts, variations on proposals and discussions of marketing strategies. The documentary diaries offers piercing insights into the world of documentary filmmaking, and will be essential reading for students and professionals alike.

‘Alan Rosenthal doesn’t make personal documentaries. Instead he writes autobiographical accounts of creating them; and he does so unashamedly in the guise of teacher, guide and practical theoretician. The documentary diaries is the latest in a unique series of memoirscome-handbooks: a “how-to” guide grounded in the realities of documentary production from the moment of personal inspiration to the aftermath of audience reception. Rosenthal is one of the few practitioners able to reflect on his filmmaking experience to such good effect.’ Brian Winston

Jean Epstein Corporeal cinema and film philosophy Series: French Film Directors
Christophe Wall-Romana If cinema can be approached as poetry and philosophy, it is because of Jean Epstein. Cocteau, Buñuel (who was his assistant), Hitchcock, Pasolini and Godard, and theoreticians Kracauer, Deleuze and Rancière are directly influenced by Epstein’s pioneering film work, writings, and concepts. This book is the first in English to examine his oeuvre comprehensively. An avant-garde artist and an anti-elitist intellectual, Epstein wanted to craft moments of pure transformative cinema. Using familiar genres – melodramas and documentaries – he hoped to heal viewers of all classes and hasten social utopia. A lover of cinema as cognitive and sensorial technology, and a poet of the screen, he pushed cinematography – as photogénie – towards the experimental sublime, through daring close-ups, rhythmic montage, slow motion and even reverse motion. Polish-born, half-Jewish, and the author of a treatise on homosexuality, Epstein has been unfairly relegated to the shadows of film history. This book restores him to the limelight of interwar world cinema, on a par with Renoir, Lang, Capra and Eisenstein. Christophe Wall-Romana is Associate Professor in the Department of French and Italian and Affiliated Faculty in Moving Image Studies at the University of Minnesota

This book offers the complete text of three novellas, along with vocabulary and explanatory notes to make them fully accessible to learners of Spanish from post-GCSE level and upwards. The introduction provides background on the author and her position in Spanish cultural, political and literary history, and on the history of feminism in Spain.
Series: Spanish and Latin American Filmmakers
Deborah Martin The cinema of Lucrecia Martel provides a comprehensive analysis of the work of the acclaimed Argentine director, whose elusive and elliptical feature films have garnered worldwide recognition since her 2001 debut La ciénaga. The book situates Martel’s features and unstudied short films in relation to trends in recent national and international filmmaking. This volume considers existing critical work on Martel’s oeuvre, and proposes new ways of understanding it, in particular through desire, the use of the child’s perspective, and through the senses and perception. Martin also offers an analysis of the politics of Martel’s films, showing how they can be understood as sites of transformation and possibility, develops queer approaches to Martel’s films, and shows how they offer new forms of cinematic pleasure. The cinema of Lucrecia Martel combines traditional plot and gaze analysis with an understanding of film as a material object, to explore the films’ sensory experiments and their challenges to dominant cinematic forms.

Of particular interest to scholars and academics in the areas of film studies, Hispanic studies, Lusophone studies and musicology, this volume opens up the study of Hispanic and Lusophone cinema to vital, new, critical approaches. The soundtracks of films as varied as City of God, All About My Mother, Bad Education and Buena Vista Social Club are analysed alongside those of lesser-known works that range from the melodramas of Mexican cinema’s golden age to Brazilian and Portuguese musical comedies from the 1940s and 1950s. Fiction films are studied alongside documentaries, the work of established directors like Pedro Almodóvar, Carlos Saura and Nelson Pereira dos Santos alongside that of emerging filmmakers, and performances by iconic stars like Caetano Veloso and Chavela Vargas alongside the songs of Spanish Gypsy groups, Mexican folk songs and contemporary Brazilian rap.

Carmen de Burgos (1867–1932), an influential journalist, socio-political activist, and a key literary figure in the cultural ferment of pre-war Madrid, is currently being rediscovered, having languished in a long and regrettable oblivion during the Franco years. This scholarly edition of three stories by de Burgos includes the unabridged texts, vocabulary, notes, chronology, bibliography, ‘temas de debate y discusión’ and a critical introduction. Confidencias is the fictional diary of a young woman, describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer fría is a vampire story featuring perhaps the very first pitiable vampire, or at least one of the earliest examples of this type, whilst ingeniously maintaining undecidability as to whether the protagonist is supernatural. Puñal de claveles narrates a wedding-day elopement. Inspired by the real-life ‘Crimen de Níjar’, Lorca drew on both stories for his Bodas de sangre.

Helen Muspratt, photographer
Writing under the influence
Jessica Sutcliffe
Edited by Denis Flannery and Michèle Mendelssohn
Born into a civil service family in India in 1907, Helen Muspratt was a lifelong communist, a member of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the 1930s, and a working mother at a time when such a role was unusual for women of her class. She was also a pioneering photographer, creating an extraordinary body of work in many different styles and genres. In partnership with Lettice Ramsey she made portraits of many notable figures of the 1930s in the fields of science and culture. Her experimental photography, using techniques such as solarisation and multiple exposure, bears comparison with the innovations of Man Ray and Lee Miller.
This groundbreaking, cross-generic collection is the first to consider the entire breadth of Alan Hollinghurst’s Booker Prize-winning writing. Focused through the concept of influence the volume addresses critical issues surrounding the work of Britain’s most important contemporary novelist. It encompasses provocative and timely subjects ranging from gay visual cultures and representations, to Victorian, modernist and contemporary literature, as well as race and empire, theatre and cinema, eros and economics.

South African performance and archives of memory Series: Theatre: Theory – Practice – Performance
Yvette Hutchison This book explores how South Africa is negotiating its past in and through various modes of performance in contemporary theatre, public events and memorial spaces. It analyses the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a live event, as an archive, and in various theatrical engagements with it, asking throughout how the TRC has affected the definition of identity and memory in contemporary South Africa, including disavowed memories. Hutchison then considers how the SA-Mali Timbuktu Manuscript Project and the 2010 South African World Cup opening ceremony attempted to restage the nation in their own ways. She investigates how the Voortrekker Monument and Freedom Park embody issues related to memory in contemporary South Africa. She also analyses current renegotiations of popular repertoires, particularly songs and dances related to the Struggle, revivals of classic European and South African protest plays, new history plays and specific racial and ethnic histories and identities.

The World and other unpublished works of Radclyffe Hall Edited by Jana Funke This book presents a wide range of previously unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall. These new materials significantly broaden and complicate critical views of Hall’s writings. They demonstrate the stylistic and thematic range of her work and cover diverse topics, including ‘outsiderism’, gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, the supernatural and the First World War. Together, these texts shed a new light on unrecognised or misunderstood aspects of Hall’s intellectual world. The volume also contains a substantial introduction, which situates Hall’s unpublished writings in the broader context of her life and work. Overall, the book invites a critical reassessment of Hall’s place in early twentieth-century literature and culture and offers rich possibilities for teaching and future research. It will be of interest to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of English literature, modernism, women’s writing, and gender and sexuality studies, as well as devotees of Radclyffe Hall’s work.

A literature of restitution
New in paperback
This book investigates the crucial question of ‘restitution’ in the work of W. G. Sebald. Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplines, with a foreword by his English translator Anthea Bell, the essays collected in this volume place Sebald’s oeuvre within the broader context of European culture in order to better understand his engagement with the ethics of aesthetics.
March 2016 240x170mm | 336pp pb 978-1-7849-9350-4 £17.99 17 illustrations
The recurring themes identified in the essays – from Sebald’s carefully calibrated syntax to his self-consciousness about ‘genre’, from his interest in liminal spaces to his literal and metaphorical preoccupation with blindness and vision – all suggest that the ‘attempt at restitution’ constitutes the very essence of Sebald’s understanding of literature.

Critical essays on W. G. Sebald
Sinister histories is the first book to offer a detailed exploration of the Gothic’s response to Enlightenment historiography. It uncovers hitherto-neglected relationships between fiction and prominent works of eighteenth-century history, locating the Gothic novel in a range of new interdisciplinary contexts. Drawing on ideas from literary studies, history, politics and philosophy, the book demonstrates the extent to which historical works influenced and shaped Gothic fiction from the 1760s to the early nineteenth century. Through a series of detailed readings of texts from The Castle of Otranto (1764) to Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman (1798), this book offers an alternative account of the Gothic’s development and a sustained revaluation of the creative legacies of the French Revolution.

Irish women’s writing, 1878–1922
The epigram in England, 1590–1640
Advancing the cause of liberty
James Doelman
Edited by Anna Pilz and Whitney Standlee
While among the most common of Renaissance genres, the epigram has been largely neglected by scholars and critics: James Doelman’s book is the first major study on the Renaissance English epigram since 1947. It combines thorough description of the genre’s history and conventions with consideration of the rootedness of individual epigrams within specific social, political and religious contexts.
Irish women writers entered the British and international publishing scene in unprecedented numbers in the period between 1878 and 1922. Literary history is only now beginning to give them the attention they deserve for their contributions to the literary landscape of Ireland, which has included far more women writers, with far more diverse identities, than hitherto acknowledged. This collection of new essays by leading scholars explores how women writers including Emily Lawless, L. T. Meade, Katharine Tynan, Lady Gregory, Rosa Mulholland, Ella Young and Beatrice Grimshaw used their work to advance their own private and public political concerns through astute manoeuvrings both in the expanding publishing industry and against the partisan expectations of an ever-growing readership. The chapters investigate their dialogue with a contemporary politics that included the topics of education, cosmopolitanism, language, empire, economics, philanthropy, socialism, the marriage ‘market’, the publishing industry, readership(s), the commercial market and employment. Anna Pilz is Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of English at the University College Cork
The book explores questions of libel, censorship and patronage associated with the genre, and includes chapters on the sub-genres of the religious epigram, political epigram and mock epitaph. It balances discussion of canonical figures such as Ben Jonson and Sir John Harington with a wide range of lesser–known poets, drawing on both manuscript and print sources. In its breadth The epigram in England serves as a foundational introduction to the genre for students, and through its detailed case studies it offers rich analysis for advanced scholars.

Samuel Richardson and the theory of tragedy Clarissa’s caesuras J. A. Smith Samuel Richardson and the theory of tragedy is a bold new interpretation of one of the greatest European novels, Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa. It argues that this text needs to be rethought as a dangerous exploration of the ethics of tragedy, on the scale of the great arguments of post-Romantic tragic theory, from Hölderlin to Nietzsche, to Benjamin, Lacan and beyond. Taking the reader through the novel from beginning to end, it also acts as a guidebook for newcomers to Richardson’s notoriously massive text, and situates it alongside his other works and the epistolary novel form in general. Filled with innovative close readings that will provoke scholars, students and general readers of the novel alike, it will also serve as a jumping off point for anyone interested in the way the theory of tragedy continues to be the privileged meeting point between literature and philosophy.

Novel horizons The genre making of Restoration fiction Gerd Bayer Novel horizons analyses how narrative prose fiction developed during the English Restoration. It argues that after 1660, generic changes within dramatic texts occasioned an intense debate within prologues and introductions. This discussion about the poetics of a genre was echoed in the paratextual material of prose fictions. In the absence of an official poetics that defined prose fiction, paratexts fulfilled this function and informed readers about the budding genre. This study traces the piecemeal development of these boundaries and describes the generic competence of readers through the analysis of paratexts and prose fictions. Novel horizons covers a large amount of the surviving textual material, focusing on narrative prose fictions published between 1660 and 1710. In addition to tracing the paratextual poetics of Restoration fiction, this book also covers the state of the art of fiction-writing during the period, discussing character development, narrative point of view, and questions of fictionality and realism.

The fifty saints’ legends are remarkable for their narrative art: the enjoyment of reading the legends is heightened, while didactic and edifying content is toned down. Focusing on the role of the narrator, the depiction of the saintly characters, their interiority, as well as temporal and spatial parameters, it is demonstrated that the Scottish poet has adapted the traditional material to the needs of an audience versed in reading romance and other secular genres. This study scrutinises the implications of the Scottish poet’s narrative strategies with respect to the Scottishness of the Legendary and its overall place in the hagiographic landscape of late medieval Britain.

The final chapter examines how his importance to early modern authorship came to be forgotten in the late seventeenth century and thereafter.
This book serves as an introduction to Lyly and early modern literature for students, but its argument for the central importance of Lyly himself and 1580s literary culture makes it a significant contribution to current scholarly debate. Its investigation of the relationship between performance and print means that it will be of interest to those who care about, watch or work in early modern performance. Andy Kesson is Senior Lecturer in Renaissance Literature at the University of Roehampton ‘Andy Kesson shows that Lyly’s work requires serious attention, reshaping our idea of the early modern period. Kesson challenges notions of Shakespeare’s preeminence and establishes Lyly as absolutely key to many of our current critical concerns. This is a book that is lucid, learned, and above all enthusiastic about its subject.’ Emma Smith, Fellow in English at Hertford College, Oxford

An interdisciplinary volume celebrating the work of one of Britain’s foremost Egyptologists.
Mummies, magic and medicine in ancient Egypt Essays in honour of Rosalie David Edited by Campbell Price, Roger Forshaw, et al. This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Professor Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on Egyptian human remains, reassessments of ancient Egyptian texts and modern experimental archaeology, these essays try to answer some of Egyptology’s biggest questions: How did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made? A number of leading experts in their fields combine both traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific approaches to ancient material. The resulting overview presents the state of Egyptology in 2016, how it has developed over the last forty years, and how many of its big questions still remain the same.

Towns in medieval England Selected sources Series: Manchester Medieval Sources
Edited by Gervase Rosser This is the first collection of translated sources on towns in medieval England. It draws on the great variety of written evidence for this significant and dynamic period of urban development, and invites students to consider for themselves the challenges and opportunities presented by a wide range of primary written sources. The introduction and editorial commentary situate the extracts within the larger context of European urban history, against a longer chronological backdrop and in relation to the most up-to-date research. Suggestions for further reading enable the student to engage critically with the materials and encourage new work in the field. Collectively, the texts and commentary provide an overview of English medieval urban history, while the emphasis throughout is on the particular character and potential of each type of written evidence, from legal and administrative records to inventories of shops, and from letters and poetry to legendary civic histories.

A key source for studying ninth-century political history and the ideology of kingship.
The Divorce of King Lothar and Queen Theutberga Hincmar of Rheims’s “De Divortio” Series: Manchester Medieval Sources
Translated and annotated by Rachel Stone and Charles West In the mid-ninth century, Francia was rocked by the first royal divorce scandal of the Middle Ages: the attempt by King Lothar II of Lotharingia to rid himself of his queen, Theutberga and remarry. Even ‘women in their weaving sheds’ were allegedly gossiping about the lurid accusations made. Kings and bishops from neighbouring kingdoms, and several popes, were gradually drawn into a crisis affecting the fate of an entire kingdom. This is the first professionally published translation of a key source for this extraordinary episode: Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims’s De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae. This text offers eye-opening insight both on the political wrangling of the time and on early medieval attitudes towards magic, penance, gender, the ordeal, marriage, sodomy, the role of bishops, and kingship. The translation includes a substantial introduction and annotations, putting the case into its early medieval context and explaining Hincmar’s sometimes dubious methods of argument.

Constructing kingship
A bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of Baroque relics and reliquaries.
The Capetian monarchs of France and the early Crusades Series: Manchester Medieval Studies
James Naus Crusading kings such as Louis IX of France and Richard I of England exert a unique hold on our historical imagination. For this reason, it can be easy to forget that European rulers were not always eager participants in holy war. The First Crusade was launched in 1095, and yet the first monarch did not join the movement until 1146, when the French king Louis VII took the cross to lead the Second Crusade. One contemporary went so far as to compare the crusades to ‘Creation and man’s redemption on the cross’, so what impact did fifty years of non-participation have on the image and practice of European kingship and the parameters of cultural development? This book considers this question by examining the challenge to political authority that confronted the French kings and their family members as a direct result of their failure to join the early crusades, and their less-than-impressive involvement in later ones.

Approaching the Bible in medieval England
Ephemeral city Cheap print and urban culture in Renaissance Venice
Series: Manchester Medieval Studies
How did people learn their Bibles in the Middle Ages? Did church murals, biblical manuscripts, sermons or liturgical processions transmit the Bible in the same way? August 2016
This book unveils the dynamics of 216x138mm | 256pp biblical knowledge and dissemination pb 978-1-7849-9374-0 in thirteenth- and fourteenthcentury England. An extensive and £13.99 interdisciplinary survey of biblical 16 diagrams, 1 table manuscripts and visual images, sermons and chants, reveals how the unique qualities of each medium became part of the way the Bible was known and recalled; how oral, textual, performative and visual means of transmission joined to present a surprisingly complex biblical worldview. This study of liturgy and preaching, manuscript culture and talismanic use introduces the concept of biblical mediation, a new way to explore Scriptures and society. It challenges the lay–clerical divide by demonstrating that biblical exegesis was presented to the laity in non-textual means, while the ‘naked text’ of the Bible remained elusive even for the educated clergy.
Ephemeral city explores the rapid rise of cheap print and how it permeated Venetian urban culture in the Renaissance. It offers the first view of one of the city’s most productive and creative industries from the bottom up and a new and unexpected vision of Renaissance culture, characterised by the fluid mobility and dynamic intermingling of texts, ideas, goods and people.
This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro’s miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

Explores Cameron’s allegorical work in relation to the political and artistic zeitgeist of the Victorian period.
Civilisation and nineteenthcentury art A European concept in global context
Julia Margaret Cameron’s ‘Fancy subjects’
Edited by David O’Brien Over the course of the long nineteenth century, civilisation was the subject of some of the most prominent public mural paintings and sculptures in Europe and the United States, especially those that speculated on the direction of history. It also underpinned Western depictions of non-Western societies and evaluations of social progress and artistic excellence.

Watching the Red dawn The American avant-garde and the Soviet Union Barnaby Haran This book offers the first sustained examination of the cultural relations of the American and Soviet avant-gardes in a period of major transformation.

Americans also emulated and adapted aspects of Soviet culture, as in the case of the New Playwrights Theatre, a group that mixed Russian avant-garde theatrical techniques with jazz, vaudeville and slapstick comedy in plays about strikes and racial injustice. Figures discussed include Louis Lozowick, Jane Heap, Frederick Kiesler, Ralph Steiner, John dos Passos, Margaret Bourke-White and Langston Hughes.
Photographic allegories of Victorian identity and empire Jeff Rosen The Victorians admired Julia Margaret Cameron for her evocative photographic portraits of eminent men like Tennyson, Carlyle and Darwin. However, Cameron also made numerous photographs that she called ‘Fancy subjects’, depicting scenes from literature, personifications from classical mythology, and Biblical parables from the Old and New Testament. This book is the first comprehensive study of these works, examining Cameron’s use of historical allegories and popular iconography to embed moral, intellectual and political narratives in her photographs. A work of cultural history as much as art history, this book examines cartoons from Punch and line drawings from the Illustrated London News, cabinet photographs and autotype prints, textiles and wallpaper, book illustrations and lithographs from period folios, all as a way to contextualise the allegorical subjects that Cameron represented, revealing connections between her ‘Fancy subjects’ and popular debates about such topics as Biblical interpretation, democratic government and colonial expansion. Jeff Rosen is Vice President for Accreditation Relations at the Higher Learning Commission June 2016

Abject visions
The houses of history
Powers of horror in art and visual culture
A critical reader in history and theory, second edition
Edited by Rina Arya and Nicholas Chare
Anna Green and Kathleen Troup
This major new volume brings together leading international scholars to debate the continuing importance and relevance of the concept of abjection for the interpretation of modern and contemporary culture.

It adds to the study of abjection; it adds also to the analysis of a range of artistic practices…. most of the chapters will themselves become significant in their areas while the whole performs an enlivening reengagement and expansion of abjection as a term in contemporary cultural analysis across feminism, queer theory and art histories.’ Professor Griselda Pollock, Director, Centre for Cultural Analysis, Theory & History (CentreCATH)

Through the Keyhole
Emile and Isaac Pereire
A history of sex, space and public modesty in modern France
Bankers, Socialists and Sephardic Jews in nineteenth-century France
Marcela Iacub Translated by Vinay Swamy
Series: Studies in Modern French History
In 1857, a group of young people who had participated in an orgy in a private mansion were sentenced for contempt of public decency (outrage public à la pudeur) because a voyeur was able to watch them through a keyhole. For Marcela Iacub, the crux of such cases hinges on where the public ends and the private begins, and what one can reveal, and what one ought to hide.
Emile (1800–75) and Isaac Pereire (1806–80) were pivotal and sensational figures, their lives and careers a lens through which to re-examine the history of France in the nineteenth century. Among the first generation of Jews emancipated by the French Revolution, they became significant SaintSimonians, contributing to its philosophy of financial and economic reform. They were the first to implement the new rail technology in France and to launch the first investment bank of any size in Europe, the Crédit Mobilier. The Pereires ultimately came to stand behind banks and railways throughout Europe and in the Ottoman Empire.
Today, the pudeur has disappeared from the French penal code to be replaced by sex. But, far from being an epic story of hard-won freedom, Iacub demonstrates that the transformation techniques used by the State in the last two centuries have rendered sexuality into a spectacle and have conditioned our spaces, our clothes, our comportment and even some of our mental illnesses. In so doing, Iacub offers us a politico-legal history of the gaze.

It contributes significantly to scholarship on civilian life in Occupied France, and will appeal to students, academics and general readers interested in the history of Vichy France, oral history and the experiences of children in war.

A wide-ranging synoptic survey, this study considers the practical complications and consequences of communities’ decisions to accommodate and regulate activities considered bad but irrepressible: of the belief that licensed prostitution and controlled abandonment could be used to avert greater evils, from sodomy and adultery to infanticide and abortion. Accessibly written, Tolerance, regulation and rescue discusses social problems which are still the subject of debate, and should appeal not only to academics and students, but also to general readers.

Patriarchy, piety and singlehood in early Stuart England Series: Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain
Isaac Stephens A microhistory of a never-married English gentlewoman named Elizabeth August 2016 Isham, this book centres on an 234x156mm | 328pp extremely rare piece of women’s hb 978-1-7849-9143-2 writing – a recently discovered 60,000-word spiritual autobiography £75.00 held in Princeton’s manuscript collections from around 1639. This material is unmatched in providing an inside view of late seventeenth-century family relations, religious beliefs, reading habits, and, most sensationally, the reasons why she chose never to marry despite desires to the contrary held by her male kin, particularly Sir John Isham, her father. Based on the autobiography, combined with extensive research of the Isham family papers now housed at the county record office in Northampton, this book restores our historical memory of Elizabeth and her female relations, expanding our understanding and knowledge about patriarchy, piety and singlehood in early modern England.

Doubtful and dangerous The question of succession in late Elizabethan England Series: Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain
Edited by Susan Doran and Paulina Kewes Doubtful and dangerous examines the pivotal influence of the succession July 2016 question on the politics, religion and culture of the post-Armada years of 234x156mm | 352pp Queen Elizabeth’s reign. Although pb 978-1-7849-9359-7 the earlier Elizabethan succession £16.99 controversy has long commanded 2 illustrations scholarly attention, the later period has suffered from relative obscurity. Taking a thematic and interdisciplinary approach, individual essays demonstrate that key late Elizabethan texts – literary, political and polemical – cannot be understood without reference to the succession. Interdisciplinary in scope and spanning the crucial transition from the Tudors to the Stuarts, the book will be indispensable to scholars and students of early modern British and Irish history, literature and religion.

Siblinghood and social relations in Georgian England

Based on original research and site visits, this book charts the impact of the Reformed faith across Europe, concentrating in particular on France, the Netherlands and Scotland. While in some areas a Calvinist Reformation led to the adaptation of existing buildings, elsewhere it resulted in the construction of new places of worship to innovative new designs. Reformed places of worship also reflected local considerations, vested interests and civic aspirations, often employing the latest styles and forms of decoration, and here provide a lens through which to examine not only the impact of the Reformation at a local level but also the character of the different religious settlements across Europe during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Health, medicine, and the sea
Share and share alike
Australian voyages, c.1815–60
Amy Harris This book examines the impact sisters and brothers had on eighteenthcentury English families and society. Using evidence from letters, diaries, probate disputes, court transcripts, prescriptive literature and portraiture, it argues that although parents’ wills often recommended their children ‘share and share alike’, siblings had to constantly negotiate between prescribed equality and practiced inequalities.

The gentlewoman’s remembrance
For ordinary people, the impact of the Reformation centred around local parish churches, rather than the theological debates of the Reformers. Focusing on the Calvinists, this volume explores how the architecture, appearance and arrangement of places of worship were transformed by new theology and religious practice.

‘Curing queers’ Mental nurses and their patients, 1935–74 Series: Nursing History and Humanities
Tommy Dickinson Drawing on a rich array of source materials including previously unseen, fascinating (and often quite moving) oral histories, archival and news media sources, ’Curing queers’ examines the plight of men who were institutionalised in British mental hospitals to receive ‘treatment’ for homosexuality and transvestism, and the perceptions and actions of the men and women who nursed them. It examines why the majority of the nurses followed orders in administering the treatment – in spite of the zero success-rate in ‘straightening out’ queer men – but also why a small number surreptitiously defied their superiors by engaging in fascinating subversive behaviours. ’Curing queers’ makes a significant and substantial contribution to the history of nursing and the history of sexuality, bringing together two sub-disciplines that combine only infrequently. It will be of interest to general readers as well as scholars and students in nursing, history, gender studies, and health care ethics and law. Tommy Dickinson is Lecturer in Nursing at the University of Manchester
Scientific governance in Britain, 1914–79 Edited by Charlotte Sleigh and Don Leggett Scientific governance in Britain, 1914–79 examines the connected histories of how science was governed, and used in governance, in twentieth-century Britain. During the middle portion of that century, British science grew dramatically in scale, reach and value. These changes were due in no small part to the two world wars and their associated effects, notably post-war reconstruction and an on-going Cold War. As the century went on, there were more scientists – requiring more money to fund their research – occupying ever more niches in industry, academia, military and civil institutions. Combining the latest research on twentieth-century British science with insightful discussion of what it meant to govern – and govern with – science, this volume provides both an invaluable introduction to science in twentiethcentury Britain for students and a fresh thematic focus on science and government for researchers.

Elaine Farrell
This book explores the legal and social consequences of growing up illegitimate in England and Wales. Unlike most other studies of illegitimacy, Frost’s book concentrates on the late Victorian period and the June 2016 early twentieth century, and takes the child’s point of view rather than 216x138mm | 308pp that of the mother or of ‘child-saving’ hb 978-1-7849-9260-6 groups. Doing so allows for an £70.00 extended analysis of criminal and civil cases involving illegitimacy, including less-studied aspects such as affiliation suits, the Poor Law and war pensions. In addition, the book explores the role of blended, extended and adoptive families, the circulation of children through different homes and institutions, and the prejudices children endured in school, work and home. While showing how the effects of illegitimacy varied both by class and gender, the book highlights the ways in which children showed resilience in surviving the various types of discrimination common in this period. It will appeal to anyone interested in British social history, childhood studies, or legal history. Ginger S. Frost is University Research Professor of History at Samford University

Winner of the NUI Publication Prize in Irish History 2015 This book examines the phenomenon of infanticide in Ireland from 1850 to 1900, examining a sample of July 2016 4,645 individual cases of infant 216x138mm | 288pp murder, attempted infanticide and concealment of birth. Evidence for this pb 978-1-7849-9360-3 study has been gleaned from a variety £14.99 of sources, including court documents, 5 diagrams coroners’ records, prison files, parliamentary papers, and newspapers. Through these sources, many of which are rarely used by scholars, attitudes towards the crime, the women accused of the offence, and the victim, are revealed. Although infant murder was a capital offence during this period, none of the women found guilty of the crime were executed, suggesting a degree of sympathy and understanding towards the accused. Infanticide cases also allude to complex dynamics and tensions between employers and servants, parents and pregnant daughters, judges and defendants, and prison authorities and inmates. This book highlights much about the lived realities of nineteenth-century Ireland. Elaine Farrell is Lecturer in Modern Irish Economic and Social History at Queen’s University Belfast

Its originality lies in that it is based on £16.99 an interrogation of American, British and Irish archives, and covers over one hundred years of American, Irish and British relations through the post of the American consular official, while also uncovering the consul’s role in seminal events such as the War of 1812, the 1845-51 Irish famine, the American Civil War, Fenianism and mass Irish emigration. It is a history of the men who filled posts as consuls, vice consuls, deputy consuls and consular agents. It reveals their identities, how they interpreted and implemented US foreign policy, their outsider perspective on events in both Ireland and America and their contribution to the expanding transatlantic relationship.

It draws together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and transnational analysis.

Making and remaking saints in nineteenthcentury Britain Edited by Gareth Atkins This book examines the place of ‘saints’ and sanctity in a selfconsciously modern age, and argues that Protestants were as fascinated by such figures as Catholics were.

Making and remaking saints in nineteenth-century Britain explores for the first time how sainthood remained significant in this period both as an enduring institution and as a metaphor that could be transposed into unexpected contexts. Each of the chapters in this volume focuses on the reception of a particular individual or group, and together they will appeal to not only historians of religion, but those concerned with material culture, the cult of history, and with the reshaping of British identities in an age of faith and doubt.

Coinciding with the decline in working hours, two further tranches of time were marked out as properly without work: childhood and retirement.

A broad range of Manchester University Press titles are available as ebooks from the following vendors, collections and digital initiatives.
Manchester University Press is very pleased to announce a new partnership with Kudos. Kudos is a free web-based service that helps authors maximise the visibility and impact of their work that is being hosted online. Kudos provides a platform for researchers to explain and share your work for wider audiences, and to measure the effect of these actions on a range of metrics including full text usage, altmetrics, and citations. Kudos is unique in bringing together multiple metrics in one platform, providing tools and guidance for improving performance, and mapping the two so that you can clearly see which activities and channels are most effective for talking about your work. During a pilot study, publications that were explained and shared using Kudos had 19% more full text downloads than a control group for which the Kudos tools were not used. Kudos can helps authors and researchers in three easy steps:
1
Firstly, it allows you to add a simple, non-technical explanation of your publication which will make it easier to find and more accessible to a broader audience. Kudos will deposit this additional information about your article with a range of discovery services, all linking back to your publication, to ensure it is even easier to find, read and cite.
2
Secondly, the platform enables the attachment of rich digital assets that relate to your publication – data, images, video, podcasts, blog entries – multimedia that explain an article and bring it to life. Not only does this enrich things for the reader but they become inbound links to the article so it becomes more discoverable.
3
Thirdly, it helps authors broadcast their work more effectively. Kudos seeks to standardise the use of social media and support authors with their social media and online output to help share and distribute their work as much as possible.
Knowledge Unlatched
If you are a Manchester University Press author and would like to explain, enrich and share links to your publications you can register for free at https://www.growkudos.com/about/researchers. If you have any questions about signing up please email rebecca.mortimer@manchester.ac.uk.
