As we surf, text, and post, we are actually becoming more enmeshed in the cyber-networks of command and control that, now as before, bear down heavily.

NEW MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY DiY WiFi: Re-imagining Connectivity

Meaning in the Age of Social Media

Katrina Jungnickel, Goldsmiths University of London, UK

Ganaele Langlois, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada "Whatever you thought, meanings are not restricted to humans but are part of the business of technological platforms and corporations. Ganaele Langlois' excellent analysis tells the story of materiality of meaning in software culture. Its scholarly rich analysis of the semiotechnological life has far reaching implications and will be a key text in social studies of software." - Jussi Parikka, University of Southampton, UK

Based on extensive fieldwork, Jungnickel's research into community WiFi networking explores the innovative digital cultures of ordinary people making extraordinary things. Committed to making 'ournet, not the internet', these digital tinkerers re-inscribe wireless broadband technology with new meanings and reimagined possibilities of use. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2.

The search for meaning is an essential human activity. It is not just about agreeing on some definitions about the world, objects, and people; it is an ethical process of opening up to find new possibilities. Langlois uses case studies of social media platforms (including Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon) to revisit traditional conceptions of meaning. Contents: Introduction: Meaning and Social Media * 1.

Transmedia Storytelling and the New Era of Media Convergence in Higher Education Stavroula Kalogeras, Tiffin University, USA ‘Supported by some of the leading minds in the field, Kalogeras demonstrates how a technique familiar to entertainment marketers and the advertising industry can be applied to education on a number of levels, yielding tremendous impact, and even reform. My prediction is that this book will be viewed as prescient and remarkably accurate in the very near future.’ - Jeff Gomez, Starlight Runner Entertainment In the age of media convergence, stories have morphed into new forms yet their core purpose remains the same, which is to pass on knowledge and information.

NEW MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY Storytelling in the Digital Age

The Language of Social Media

W. S. Penn, Michigan State University, USA 'Original in its observations, its tone, and its attractively quirky manner, Storytelling in the Digital Age is a project of great significance…Penn's style is informal, sometimes chatty - although admirably very far from chummy…a very strong piece of work.' - Arnold Krupat, Sarah Lawrence College, USA

Identity and Community on the Internet Edited by Philip Seargeant, The Open University, UK, Caroline Tagg, University of Birmingham, UK This timely book examines language on social media sites including Facebook and Twitter. Studies from leading language researchers, and experts on social media, explore how social media is having an impact on how we relate to each other, the communities we live in, and the way we present a sense of self in twentyfirst century society.

Through a professional story-teller's sometimes humorous commentary on culture and literature from The Odyssey on, the book suggests that literature is not an artifact to be studied but a living process. Often irreverent, crossing literary and scholarly lines, Penn aims to discover what literature does for an imaginatively engaged reader. Contents: Preface * 1. The Anticon * 2.

Yolande Strengers, RMIT, Australia "With considerable theoretical sophistication, Yolande Strengers incisively interrogates the promises attached to the Smart Utopian vision of a world in which our energy problems will be solved by smart technologies and the smart use of data. Drawing on a wealth of empirical examples, Strengers critically traces how Smart Utopia, grounded as it is in the idealized figure of Resource Man, articulates with the complex and contingent practices that make up everyday life. For anyone interested in the unfolding future of energy use Smart Energy Technologies in Everyday Life is essential reading." - Mike Michael, University of Sydney, Australia This book interrogates the global utopian vision for smart energy technologies and the new energy consumer intended to realise it. It enriches and extends the possibilities of four residential smart strategies: energy feedback, dynamic pricing, home automation and micro-generation, focusing on how they are being integrated into everyday practice.

Media and Public Shaming Drawing the Boundaries of Disclosure Julian Petley, Brunel University, UK In this book, leading academics, commentators and journalists consider the extent to which privacy is warranted for activities outside the scope of their professional lives or when disclosure reveals duplicity related to reputations, brands, images and public personas built and conveyed through media by political and celebrity figures.

The Obamas and Mass Media Race, Gender, Religion, and Politics Mia Moody-Ramirez, Baylor University, USA, Jannette Dates, Howard University, USA "The Obamas and Mass Media offers a potent argument that the media we create and consume reflect social mores and taboos. This will be an important book, because it matches cogent discussions of theories concerning race and identity, with powerfully representative case studies drawn from highly mediated and contested moments during the Obama administration." - Meta G. Carstarphen, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Oklahoma, USA Using the cultural prism of race, this book critically examines the image of African Americans in media of the twenty-first century. Further, the authors assess the ways in which media focused on gender, religion, and politics in framing perceptions of the President and First Lady of the United States during the Obama administration.

Journalists as Genre Benders in Literary History Doug Underwood, University of Washington, USA "Doug Underwood offers a fresh, accessible, and far-reaching investigation of the tensions between fact and fiction, reportage and novel-writing. In its exploration of how journalist - both in and out of the newsroom - engaged a 'story-telling impulse' in their quest for meaningful prose, The Undeclared War Between Journalism and Fiction stands as an important contribution to the interconnected studies of journalistic and literary histories." - Karen Roggenkamp, Texas A&M University-Commerce, USA In this volume, Doug Underwood asks whether much of what is now called literary journalism is, in fact, 'literary,' and whether it should rank with the great novels by such journalistliterary figures as Twain, Cather, and Hemingway, who believed that fiction was the better place for a realistic writer to express the important truths of life.

A Comparative Study of the UK and Italy Cristina Archetti, University of Salford, UK "This erudite and insightful text should be required reading for all those interested in the latest developments in mediated political communication." - James Stanyer, University of Loughborough, UK Is the media obsession with image leading to a degeneration of politics? Are politicians more concerned with their appearances than with policy substance? Through the evidence provided by over 50 interviews with politicians across the UK and Italy local councillors, MPs and MEPs - this book provides a very different picture of the world of politics than the one we often cynically imagine. By relying on extensive excerpts from frank and colorful conversations with the interviewees, the analysis develops a new multidisciplinary model to understand the 'mediatization' of politics and the way the personal image of elected representatives is constructed in the age of interconnectedness.

The Queer Caribbean Speaks Interviews with Writers, Artists, and Activists Kofi Omoniyi Sylvanus Campbell, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada "The rich reflections and testimonies of experience recorded in this book break the silence about queer Caribbean lifeworlds, imagined and configured through the confluence of local, national, regional, and transnational processes. The collection compels us to meaningfully reconceptualize both Caribbeanness and queerness as categories of meaning that articulate and unravel each other. As such, this book holds many possibilities for engaging what might be considered the queer turn in Caribbean Studies and for productively troubling the conceptual limits of 'Q'ueer Studies." - Amar Wahab, York University, Canada

Crossroads: Performance Studies and Irish Culture Edited by Sara Brady, Bronx Community College, City University of New York, USA, Fintan Walsh, Birkbeck, University of London, UK "This volume of essays forms a rich beginning for the development of Irish performance studies." - Aoife Monks, TDR: The Drama Review "An engrossing, lively, timely, and important collection... This book opens up new vistas to scholars of performance studies and Irish studies - and to anyone else wanting to learn more about the ebullient action of Irish culture." - Richard Schechner, New York University, USA

In most Caribbean countries homosexuality is still illegal and many outside of the region are unaware of how difficult life can be for gay men and lesbians. This book collects interviews with queer Caribbean writers, activists, and citizens and challenges the dominance of Euro-American theories in understanding global queerness.

Crossroads: Performance Studies and Irish Culture, now available in paperback, is a seminal collection of essays, written by an international cohort of scholars, that addresses the complex and exciting intersections of Irish and performance studies.

GENDER, RACE AND IDENTITY Understanding Blackness through Performance

Making the British Muslim

Contemporary Arts and the Representation of Identity

Tracing representations of the Rushdie affair from 1989 to 2009, this study establishes a genealogy of how British Muslims appeared on the public scene and how an imaginary and politics of this subject position developed.

Nicole Falkenhayner, University of Freiburg, Germany

Edited by Anne Cremieux, Université Paris-Ouest Nanterre, France, Xavier Lemoine, Université de Nantes, France, Jean-Paul Rocchi, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France "I applaud the authors for theorizing black performance and embodiment away from the centrality of the written texts, specifically traditional literary texts. It is highly significant in that it moves the discipline forward in both its approach and structure." - Myron M. Beasley, PhD, Bates College, USA How does the performance of blackness reframe issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality? Here, the contributors look into representational practices in film, literature, fashion, and theatre and explore how they have fleshed out political struggles, while recognizing that they have sometimes maintained the mechanisms of violence against blacks.

A Feminist-Pragmatist Approach Clara Fischer, Irish Feminist Network, Ireland "An original and compelling book. Fischer problematizes canonical theories of change through a feminist-pragmatist approach. She highlights John Dewey's transformation of Aristotle's philosophy to explicate a dynamic sense of self. This leads to a feminist-pragmatist self with the capacity to effect socio-political change. Gendered hierarchies distorting philosophy from its inception are swept away in this model of humans in transaction with their environments. This is a philosophy for our time." - Charlene Haddock Seigfried, Purdue University, USA

The Moral Panics of Sexuality

A provocative feminist analysis of the moral panics of sexuality, this interdisciplinary edited collection showcases the range of historical and contemporary crises we too often suppress, including vagina dentata, vampires, cannibalism, age appropriateness, breast cancer, menstrual panics, and sex education.

Gendered Readings of Change

9781137325075

Edited by Breanne Fahs, Mary L. Dudy & Sarah Stage, all at Arizona State University, USA "With the blended ink of scholarly brilliance, activist wisdom, and biting humor, the writers in this volume accomplish a remarkable doubled analytic: they carry their critical lens under the covers of the moral panics of sexuality, targeting the erectile dysfunction of the Right wing and the conservative agenda more broadly, daring to theorize strategic diversionary motives and trace the multiple ideological tremors the morning after. At the same time, however, they refuse to neglect and attend intimately to the embodied crises of and sustained violence against women, queer, of color, marginalized, and figured/ disfigured bodies, tossed to the political side of the road like a used condom." - Michelle Fine, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA

May 2014 US

This book develops a unique theory of change by drawing on American philosophy and contemporary feminist thought. Via a select history of ancient Greek and Pragmatist philosophies of change, Fischer argues for a reconstruction of transformation that is inclusive of women's experiences and thought. Contents: PART I: GENEALOGICAL REFLECTIONS ON CHANGE * 1. Women, Change, and the Birth of Philosophy * 2. Change in Dewey’s and Aristotle’s Metaphysics * 3.

GENDER, RACE AND IDENTITY Gender Work

New Femininities

Feminism after Neoliberalism

Postfeminism, Neoliberalism and Subjectivity

Robin Truth Goodman, Florida State University, USA "This book marks a path-breaking turn in feminist theory, where feminism illuminates the transfigured conditions of contemporary global society under neoliberalism. Goodman brilliantly restores the primacy of labor and class to feminist theory, political analysis, and social agency alike. Her riveting analyses recasts culture and everyday life as they reframe the capital flows of globalization. What results is extraordinary: an urgent, timely, and truly global feminist theory of how women's work changes the world." - Jennifer Wicke, University of Virginia, USA

Edited by Rosalind Gill, Christina Scharff, both at King’s College London, UK "This timely collection offers an extensive and thought-provoking range of insights into contemporary feminist debates around sexual subjectivity and citizenship, postfeminist identity and consumerism, and the constructions of femininity in relation to 'race', religion, migration, national security and generation. It represents both an important and refreshing contribution to the advancement of feminist media research." - Cynthia Carter, Cardiff University, UK This collection of original essays looks at the way in which experiences and representations of femininity are changing, and explores the possibilities for producing 'new' femininities in the twenty-first century.

GENDER, RACE AND IDENTITY History of British Women’s Writing SERIES Edited by Jennie Batchelor, University of Kent, UK & Cora Kaplan, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

The History of British Women’s Writing, 1750-1830 Volume Five

The History of British Women’s Writing, 1690 - 1750

Edited by Jacqueline M. Labbe, University of Warwick, UK 'This volume is essential reading for scholars working in the field, and a superb introduction for those new to it.' - Benjamin Dabby, Victoriographies

Volume Four

This era witnessed the first full flowering of British women's writing. Drawing on the last 30 years of scholarship and textual recovery which have overturned the theory that women wrote only unambitious, domestic texts, this new paperback highlights that an English literary history that ignores women writers is not only incomplete, but inadequate.

Edited by Ros Ballaster, Mansfield College, University of Oxford, UK This volume, now in paperback, charts significant changes for a literary history of women in an era that saw the beginnings of a discourse of 'enlightened feminism', revealing that women engaged in forms old and new, seeking to shape and transform the culture of letters rather than simply reflect or respond to the work of their male contemporaries.

Christina McMahon's deep understanding of transnational alliances and frictions works in tandem with rich ethnographic detail; the result is a book that transcends disciplinary boundaries in its theoretical appeal." - Laura Edmondson, Darthmouth College, USA

Women, Art and Ideology Rozsika Parker, (Formerly) The Feminist Art History Collective, Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds, UK "This is not a nostalgic project but one of understanding the research, art practices, and thinking of the last 40 years." – Hilary Robinson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

Gilad Padva, Tel Aviv University, Israel "This is an original, timely, and important intervention in the field of Queer Studies, providing a very convincing argument for the essentially queer nature of nostalgia, nostalgic practices, and nostalgia-inspired cultural production.

The Queer Cultural Work of Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner Jennifer Reed, California State University, Long Beach, USA "Part biography of a relationship, part critical analysis of a comedy partnership, this book gives us a peek into the queer and quirky relationship between Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner. The book is valuable both for what she says about a deeply creative romantic partnership and for its insights about humor, hilarity, and the way they can be embedded in rather than antithetical to feminism. Who says feminists lack a sense of humor?" - Jack Halberstam, author of The Queer Art of Failure Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner have been partners in life and work for more than 40 years. Over those years they have been comedic pioneers in television, sound recording, film, theater, and animation.

Contemporary Women’s Poetry and Urban Space Experimental Cities Zoe Skoulding, Bangor University, UK "Contemporary Women's Poetry and Urban Space is a fascinating read with an excellent balance of general theoretical insight and close textual analysis of some very challenging work. Skoulding draws together disparate practices and theories to weave together a picture of innovative, gendered poetry and poetics developed by a range of international poets in response to the city. Her wide reference helps her achieve a global, though not totalizing, perspective and it is instructive and inspiring to see these poets brought together within the covers of one book." - Harriet Tarlo, Sheffield Hallam University, UK

Renewing Feminisms Radical Narratives, Fantasies and Futures in Media Studies Helen Thornham, University of Leeds, UK, Elke Weissmann, Edge Hill University, UK The feminist movement, we have been told, is history. This lively book proposes that on the contrary the feminist movement is alive and kicking, still as engaged with the concerns and ways of seeing as it was in the 1960s, '70s and '80s; still demanding its political place.

This book focuses on the role of the city, and its processes of mutual transformation, in poetry by experimental women writers. Readings of their work are placed in the context of theories of urban space, while new visions of the contemporary city and its global relationships are drawn from their innovations in language and form.

GENDER, RACE AND IDENTITY Girlfriends and Postfeminist Sisterhood Alison Winch, Middlesex University, UK "Alison Winch explores the deep and complex emotions involved in female friendships and how these are exploited by brands, television formats and film narratives to tie us into a competitive and unequal consumer culture. By recognising the source of negative as well as positive emotions between women, a more effective political movement could be achieved to counteract this exploitation, she suggests. The book expertly updates and builds on postfeminist scholarly research through close attention to recent popular culture. It makes a compelling argument, challenging established assumptions about the way girls and women are portrayed and how we, in turn, respond." - Jane Arthurs, Middlesex University, UK

From Mean Girl to BFF, Girlfriends and Postfeminist Sisterhood explores female sociality in postfeminist popular culture. Focusing on a range of media forms, Alison Winch reveals how women are increasingly encouraged to strategically bond by controlling each other's body image through 'the girlfriend gaze'.

Mediation at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin Irit Dekel, Humboldt University, Germany "Dekel focuses on the participation in memory work as a potential act of citizenship – citizenship defined in cosmopolitan and inclusive terms – and, by exploring the different stages of participation in memory work, she is able to theorise the 'moral career' of visitors. Mediation at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin moves us away from the restrictive notions of the Holocaust sublime and towards the Holocaust's speakability through performances of memory." - Richard Crownshaw, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Analyzing action at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, this first ethnography of the site offers a fresh approach to studying the memorial and memory work as potential civic engagement of visitors with themselves and others rather than with history itself.

The Participation of Youth in the Entertainment Industry

Desire, Eroticism and Literary Visibilities from Byron to Bram Stoker

Edited by Gillian Arrighi, Victor Emeljanow, both at University of Newcastle, Australia "Readers should resist the urge to pick out one or two essays to peruse, since what really sets this collection apart is its global, generic, and methodological inclusiveness. We learn not only about stage plays and musicals but also film, TV, dance, and experimental theatre; not only about what adult viewers make of child performers but what former child performers make of their own experiences. This excellent collection of essays should inspire more theatre historians and cultural critics to pay attention to the centrality of children as makers and consumers of entertainment."

These essays offer scholarly investigations into the employment and participation of children in the entertainment industry with examples drawn from historical and contemporary contexts.

Informal Empire and the Rise of One World Culture Gregory A. Barton, University of Western Sydney, Australia

Imperial Culture in Antipodean Cities, 1880-1939

Informal empire is a key mechanism of control that explains much of the configuration of the modern world. This book traces the broad outline of westernization through elite formations around the world in the modern era. It explains why the world is western and how formal empire describes only the tip of the iceberg of British and American power.

John Griffiths, Massey University, New Zealand Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, this book explores how far imperial culture penetrated antipodean city institutions. It argues that far from imperial saturation, the city 'Down Under' was remarkably untouched by the Empire. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Media, Counterculture, Revolt

Caroline Bassett, University of Sussex, UK

Edited by Timothy Scott Brown, Northeastern University, USA, Andrew Lison, Brown University, USA 'From Tropicália to the New American Cinema, French prog rock to conceptual photography, this anthology proves that any compelling account of the polyvalent conjunctures of culture and politics in the 1960s must be interdisciplinary. Readable and engaging, this book pries the decade out of the clichés that too often imprison it to offer fresh perspectives on music, art, and film.' – Erika Balsom, King's College London, UK

It insists on the centrality of narrative to informational culture, and forces a re-appraisal of how information technology, read as a material cultural form, is understood in relation to the questions of innovation and transformation.

CULTURAL AND MEDIA HISTORY Representing Auschwitz

Performativity and Event in 1960s Japan

At the Margins of Testimony

City, Body, Memory

Edited by Nicholas Chare, University of Melbourne, Australia, Dominic Williams, University of Leeds, UK "This outstanding book has essays from not only the leading academics in the field (including perhaps the most important philosopher of history of our time, Hayden White) but also from leading writers in this area (Anne Karpf, Eva Hoffman). Each essay is a fantastic resource, tightly argued, full of revelation and information. More, the book is a model of interdisciplinary work, combining history, literary studies, film, gender theory, art and philosophy. It is also a timely and vital intervention in the development of Holocaust Studies." - Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Peter Eckersall, University of Melbourne, Australia 'A fresh, innovative and rigorous work on a largely unexplored aspect of Japanese performance and urban space in the 1960s, this book will appeal to scholars and students from across several disciplinary boundaries.' - Alan Cummings, SOAS University of London, UK Performativity and Event in 1960s Japan considers the artists and events in 1960s Japan. In response to the social upheavals of the 1960s, it shows how art interacted with society in unique and transformational ways, interweaving arguments about the critical role of performance as an artistic medium and as a social dramaturgy.

This collection of essays by leading international scholars takes the Scrolls of Auschwitz as its starting point. These powerful hand-written testimonies, produced within Birkenau, seek to bear witness to mass murder from at its core. The highly literary accounts pose a fundamental challenge to the idea the Holocaust cannot be attested to.

Alexander C.T. Geppert, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany Shortlisted for the Longman - History Today Book Prize 2010 "If I were to recommend only one book about nineteenth- and early twentieth-century international expositions, it would be this one. Geppert's writing is clear, his learning is massive but never in the way, and his subject – the spaces and places of world's fairs – becomes in his hands a way of thinking about the self-reflexive and selfreferential qualities of modernity. Fleeting Cities is an exemplary cultural and institutional history of one of the most talked about, glitzy new media phenomena of their age." - Thomas W.

David W. Gutzke, Missouri State University, USA

This book demonstrates how the two adversaries of the Cold War, West Germany and East Germany, endeavored to create two distinct and unique German identities. In their endeavor to claim legitimacy, the German cinematic representation of the American West became an important cultural weapon of mass dissemination during the Cold War.

The Newspaper Clipping A Modern Paper Object

Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds, UK "In Griselda Pollock's brilliantly staged encounters between contemporary art and psychoanalysis, the aesthetic emerges as the space in which we can be responsive to the traces of trauma and live with its after-effects. Through incisive and carefully articulated theoretical insights and reparative acts of close reading, Pollock offers us new ways of thinking about painful aftermaths as well as a new vocabulary for feminist visual studies." - Marianne Hirsch, Columbia University, USA

It is a serious and thoughtful engagement with the complex relationships that exist between broadcasting and society and deserves a wide readership.' – Tom O'Malley, Aberystwyth University, UK Patricia Holland offers a fascinating study of the ways in which changes to public services, and shifts in the concept of 'the public' under Margaret Thatcher's three Conservative governments, were mediated by radio and television in the 1980s.

CULTURAL AND MEDIA HISTORY The British Olympic Association: A History Kevin Jefferys, University of Plymouth, UK

The Cultural Evolution of Postwar Japan The Intellectual Contributions of Kaizō’s Yamamoto Sanehiko

Since its creation the British Olympic Association (BOA) has been one of the most important institutions in sports governance. In spite of its prominence there has hitherto been no single-volume history of the Association. This scholarly yet accessible study fills that gap, assessing the origins, evolution, strengths and shortcomings of the BOA.

Christopher Keaveney, Linfield College, USA "A compelling, comprehensive, expertly researched, and long overdue study of Yamamoto Sanehiko (1885-1952), president of a major Japanese publishing house in interwar and early postwar Japan, and a key figure in Japanese intellectual and literary history. Keaveney's nuanced book skillfully illuminates Yamamoto's many achievements, the paradoxes that came to define his career, and most importantly his vital role as a cultural broker among Japan, China, and the West." - Karen L. Thornber, Harvard University, USA and author of Empire of Texts in Motion: Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese Transculturations of Japanese Literature and Ecoambiguity: Environmental Crises and East Asian Literatures

The People Who Shaped Europe Ruth Oldenziel, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, Mikael Hård, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany "In this entertaining fusion of social and technological history, Ruth Oldenziel and Mikael Hård argue that much of Europe's contemporary culture was created from below after 1850, as active consumers tinkered with and appropriated both machines and processes to change the ways that they worked, traveled, communicated, dressed, and ate. Not politicians or generals but consumers have increasingly shaped the experiences that define what it means to be European." - David E. Nye, author of Technology Matters and America's Assembly Line

Housework and Housewives in American Advertising Jessamyn Neuhaus, SUNY Plattsburgh, USA "Extensively researched in advertising archives, mass magazines, and scholarly studies, this book persuasively argues that advertising for cleaning, food, and other household products has changed only modestly over the past 110 years." - CHOICE "Thorough and interesting ... Neuhaus offers keen observations, and the book is well-written." Journalism History From mop-wielding turn-of-the-century housewives to modern soccer moms, American advertising from the late 1800s to today has been consistently depicted housework as women's work. This book analyzes print and TV ads, ad agency documents, and trade journals to show how the housewife framed household work as exclusively feminine care for the family. Contents: 1.

CULTURAL AND MEDIA HISTORY Franco Sells Spain to America

The Poetics of Waste

Hollywood, Tourism and Public Relations as Postwar Spanish Soft Power

Queer Excess in Stein, Ashbery, Schuyler, and Goldsmith Christopher Schmidt, The City University of New York, LaGuardia, USA "Through brilliant uses of Queer Theory, Taylorism and its dietary subset Fletcherism, and much else of theoretical/historical interest, Christopher Schmidt's The Poetics of Waste forges powerful new connections and traces salient divergences among Stein's erotic poetry, Ashbery's undervalued 'scrapbook,' Schuyler's 'camp waste management' and writing by two tantalizingly different Conceptualists. Figuring waste as oppositional resource, queer fertility, Schmidt demonstrates the remarkable volatility of categories like efficiency and excess, reduction and proliferation." - Thomas Fink, LaGuardia Community College, USA

Neal M. Rosendorf, New Mexico State University, USA A groundbreaking study of the Franco regime's utilization of Hollywood film production in Spain, American tourism, and sophisticated public relations programs - including the most popular national pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair - in a determined effort to remake the Spanish dictatorship's post-World War II reputation in the US.

Spectacle Culture and American Identity 1815-1940 Susan Tenneriello, Baruch College, USA "In Spectacle Culture and American Identity, Susan Tenneriello examines how the drama of nation captures the mind's eye and infuses the political, social, and economic landscape, moving and static. The constructed spectacle idea and image that is America became pervasive, but the panoramic vision of America the bountiful was not always benevolent. Covering a vast historical span from 1815 to 1940, followed by a twenty-first century update in the epilogue, Spectacle Culture and American Identity is provocatively comprehensive." Barbara Lewis, Trotter Institute, The University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Scenic spectacles collapse the borders of graphic and visual arts, multimedia technology, spectatorship and architecture. Drawing upon various systems of commercial, institutional and public spectacle that intersect with scenic stages of the national landscape, Tenneriello examines how spectacle is entrenched in the formation of national identity.

CULTURAL AND MEDIA HISTORY Weimar Culture Revisited

Cultural Studies

John Alexander Williams, Bradley University, USA "For some time now, scholars have been expanding the definition of 'Weimar Culture' to include much more than Brecht and the Bauhaus. This book offers a lively selection of some of the most innovative, challenging, and rewarding research currently underway in Weimar studies." - Matthew Jefferies, Manchester University, UK

Living with Class Philosophical Reflections on Identity and Material Culture Edited by Ron Scapp, College of Mount Saint Vincent, USA, Brian Seitz, Babson College, USA "That class is an exceedingly and evermore complex phenomenon is hardly a reason to ignore its importance as a category for understanding society, either in national frameworks or in the world as a whole. There were very good reasons why other categories, such as race, gender, and sexuality, came to the fore in recent decades, one of these reasons being the difficulties in hitherto-existing paradigms to understand modes of production in all of their diverse materiality. The essays in this important book show well how class, complexified, remains crucial to not only understanding the world, but indeed to changing it." - Bill Martin, DePaul University, USA

Philosophy and Hip-Hop

21st Century Jocks: Sporting Men and Contemporary Heterosexuality

Ruminations on Postmodern Cultural Form

Eric Anderson, University of Winchester, UK "Drawing from a decade of research into young male athletes' heterosexuality, Professor Eric Anderson analyzes the dramatic shift in how today's jocks perform masculinity and heterosexuality compared to those of just a decade ago. Showing that they reject much of the hyper-masculine posturing of their athletic forefathers, in both the United States and United Kingdom, Anderson shows that jocks today celebrate their gay teammates and revel in their expanded notions of sexuality. They are having more, and more diverse, sexual encounters, and in what will shock many men over 30, this includes a great deal of physical intimacy with other men. Anderson shows that high school and university straight male jocks are kissing, cuddling and loving other jocks. 21st Century Jocks is therefore a must read have for anyone interested in sport, masculinity, or heterosexuality." - George Cunningham, Laboratory for Diversity in Sport, Texas A&M University, USA Drawing on hundreds of interviews with 15-22 year old straight and gay male athletes in both the United States and the United Kingdom, this book explores how jocks have redefined heterosexuality, and no longer fear being thought gay for behaviors that constrained men of the previous generation.

CULTURAL STUDIES America’s Culture of Professionalism

The Cultural Impact of Kanye West Edited by Julius Bailey, Wittenberg University, USA "Provocateur, egotist, sage, and artist, no figure in the past decade of popular culture has reflected and defined the zeitgeist better than Kanye West. This collection lays bare the tangle of complexities and contradictions that have made the artist and the art indispensable to our era and proves that if game recognizes game, wisdom does too." - Jelani Cobb, author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress Through rap and hip hop, entertainers have provided a voice questioning and challenging the sanctioned view of society. Examining the moral and social implications of Kanye West's art in the context of Western civilization's preconceived ideas, the contributors consider how West both challenges religious and moral norms and propagates them.

The Highway Horror Film

Popular Music, Place and Globalization

Bernice M. Murphy, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Edited by Brett Lashua, Karl Spracklen, Stephen Wagg, all at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

The Highway Horror Film argues that 'Highway Horror' is a hither-to overlooked sub-genre of the American horror movie. In these films, the American landscape is by its very accessibility rendered terrifyingly hostile, and encounters with other travellers almost always have sinister outcomes.

This book explores the ways in which Westernderived music connects with globalization, hybridity, consumerism and the flow of cultures. Both as local terrain and as global crossroads, cities remain fascinating spaces of cultural contestation and meaning-making via the composing, playing, recording and consumption of popular music.

A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television Edited by Silke Panse, University for the Creative Arts Canterbury, UK, Dennis Rothermel, California State University, USA "Film and Media Studies has tended to shy away from the idea of judgement but, as this collection of essays edited by Panse and Rothermel makes clear, judgement is an integral aspect of how film and media works. Judgement is a two way street – we judge what we see on the screen and in turn it judges us. This outstanding collection explores in depth the practical and theoretical issues raised by the problem of judgement." – Ian Buchanan, University of Wollongong, Australia A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television is a response to a significant increase of judgment and judgmentalism in contemporary television, film, and social media by investigating the changing relations between the aesthetics and ethics of judgment.

The Films of Mamoru Oshii Brian Ruh, Indiana University, USA "A fine introduction to one of Japanese animation's few true auteurs, Stray Dog of Anime examines Oshii's films from both sides of the camera. Brian Ruh's work is scholarly but readable, and affirmative but critical - an education for academics and fans alike. Welcome to Class Real." - Jonathan Clements, coauthor of The Anime Encyclopedia Upon its US release in the mid 1990s, Ghost in the Shell, directed by Mamoru Oshii, quickly became one of the most popular Japanese animated films in the country.

CULTURAL STUDIES Shaping China’s Global Imagination

The Rushdie Fatwa and After

Branding Nations at the World Expo

A Lesson to the Circumspect

Jian Wang, University of Southern California, USA ‘Wang’s writing style is analytically clear and engaging, and raises a certain curiosity in the subject itself. The book combines three issues that are of great interest: China’s rise and role in international politics; our perceptions of China; and the role of nation branding (in this book through the prism of the Shanghai Expo). The advantage of a book like this is that it will not just be relevant for China specialists, but also for IR and communication scholars. The clarity of writing makes it accessible and of use in advanced undergraduate courses. I see no real competition for Shaping China’s Global Imagination.‘’ Peter Van Ham, Netherlands Institute of International Relations A comprehensive discussion of how countries embrace branding as a crucial element in their pursuit of soft power and why certain nation-branding efforts succeed while others fail through the example of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.

Brian Winston, University of Lincoln, UK "This is not the first account of how the Satanic Verses affair came about, but it is by far the most wide-ranging and best informed. It also includes equally authoritative accounts of numerous subsequent incidents such as the murder of the Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh and the Danish cartoons controversy, which, it is convincingly argued here, need to be seen as ramifications of the Salman Rushdie case. But this is far more than simply a recital of the facts, richly detailed and highly informative though it most certainly is in this respect. For what we also have here is a resounding defence of the principles of free expression, not in the debased, self-interested and ill-informed manner in which the British press habitually defends its 'right' to do as it damn well pleases, but in highly sophisticated philosophical terms. This is a key contribution to the debate not only on the right to free expression, including the right to offend, but on media freedom in general in the post-Leveson era." Julian Petley, Brunel University, UK This resounding defence of the principles of free expression revisits the Satanic Verses uproar of 1989, as well as subsequent incidents such as the Danish cartoons controversy, to argue that the human right of free speech is by no means so secure that it can be taken for granted.

MEDIA, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL THEORY Global Media and Communication Policy

Disability in Science Fiction

An International Perspective

Representations of Technology as Cure

Petros Iosifidis, City University, London, UK 'With increasing interconnectness of communication systems and more media enterprises operating worldwide, global media policies are more salient but are often unfamiliar or misunderstood. Although developing since the early days of telephony and broadcasting, their significance has increased since developments such as satellite communications and the Internet have thrust communications debates from the nation state to international level. This book positions global policy issues and debates within a wide framework of national and international issues, conflicting interests, and differing approaches to communication challenges. It is an important step forward in understanding global policy makers, processes, and outcomes.' - Robert G. Picard, Reuters Institute, University of Oxford, UK Iosifidis considers the social, political, economic and technological changes arising from the globalization of the communications industries, making reference to the paradigmatic shift from a system based on the traditions of public service in media delivery to one that is demarcated by commercialization, privatization and competition.

Sophia Beal helps restore the strangeness to those enormous public works on which everyday life depends but that seem too big for the individual consumer to take in. This is 'material culture' both with gusto and with geopolitical vision. Students and teachers across the disciplines and around the globe will be delighted and inspired by it.’ - Bruce Robbins, Columbia University, USA Brazil under Construction tracks how Brazil's major public works projects and the fiction surrounding them mark a twofold construction of the nation: the functional construction of the country's public infrastructure and the symbolic construction of nationhood.

The Paradox of Authenticity in a Globalized World

Richard Burt, University of Florida, USA, Julian Yates, University of Delaware, USA ‘In What's the Worse Thing You Can Do to Shakespeare?, seasoned icono-clashers Richard Burt and Julian Yates scan the Shakespearean mediascape for its intensities, lags, evasions, and misfires. In wryly techno-savvy readings that cross-cut between the First Folio, conceived as a canny media launch, and contemporary video and film refractions, Burt and Yates renew the enterprise of close reading without either fetishizing the Shakespearean original or exchanging the vertiginous risks of unreadability for quick laughs and easy access.’ - Julia Reinhard Lupton, The University of California, USA and author of Thinking with Shakespeare: Essays on Politics and Life What's the worst thing you can do to Shakespeare? The answer is simple: don't read him. To that end, Richard Burt and Julian Yates embark on a project of un/ reading the Bard, turning the conventional challenges into a roadmap for textual analysis and a thorough reconsideration of the plays in light of their absorption into global culture. Contents: 1. What’s the Worst Thing You Can Do to Shakespeare? * 2. ‘Oh, horrible, most horrible!’ - Hamlet’s Telephone * 3. Romeo and Juliet is for Zombies * 4.

Media and the Politics of Arctic Climate Change

Edited by Russell Cobb, University of Alberta, Canada 'The idea of authenticity is an important one to explore in an academic setting and The Paradox of Authenticity in a Globalized World will be a useful tool in cultural and media studies, anthropology, and food studies. What really sets this edited volume apart is the inclusion of scholars who are not in academia - this adds a nice, contextualized angle in the fields of music, law, information studies, and museums.' - Jessica Mudry, Ryerson University, Canada Authenticity in our globalized world is a paradox. This collection examines how authenticity relates to cultural products, looking closely at how a particular ‘ethnic’ food, or genre of popular music, or indigenous religious belief attains its aura of originality, when all traditional cultural products are invented in a certain time and place.

Ethics of Media Edited by Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths College, London, UK, Mirca Madianou, University of Leicester, UK, Amit Pinchevski, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel "Ethics of Media features a wealth of case studies that will appeal to anyone interested in the study of contemporary media praxis. It can pride itself on having brought together some excellent contributions by authors who are acknowledged experts in the field, and offers a discussion of issues that directly relate to the current state of media ecology, including the ethics of blogging, Wikileaks, war reporting and the crisis in press standards. I have little doubt that the book will establish itself as a reference work on media ethics." - Lieve Gies, University of Leicester, UK

When the Ice Breaks Edited by Miyase Christensen, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, Annika E. Nilsson, Stockholm Environment Institute, Sweden, Nina Wormbs, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden 'We are all on thin ice when it comes to the Arctic and global climate change. This smart, savvy volume edited by Swedish scholars, Miyase Christensen, Annika E. Nilsson and Nina Wormbs, is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of the planet and the role ice plays in shaping our material reality and social imaginary.' - James Rodger Fleming, Colby College, Maine, USA Combining multidisciplinary perspectives and new research, this volume goes beyond broad discussions of the impacts of climate change and reflects on the current and historical mediations and narratives that are part of creating this new social and scientific reality.

Ethics of Media reopens the question of media ethics.

Edited by Matthew Flisfeder, Ryerson University, Canada, Louis-Paul Willis, University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Canada "Flisfeder and Willis completely reshape our understanding of the history of psychoanalytic film theory by contextualizing it through Slavoj Žižek's impact. Žižek and Media Studies comes at a time when contemporary psychoanalytic film theory has changed substantially and this contribution is thus required reading." - Hilary Neroni, University of Vermont, USA and author of The Subject of Torture: Psychoanalysis, Biopolitics, and Media Representations Film, media, and cultural theorists have long appealed to Lacanian theory in order to discern processes of subjectivization, representation, and ideological interpellation. Here, the contributors take up a Žižekian approach to studies of cinema and media, raising questions about power, ideology, sexual difference, and enjoyment.

Disability, Public Space Performance and Spectatorship

The Consumption of Inequality

Unconscious Performers

Weapons of Mass Distraction

Bree Hadley, Queensland Univeristy of Technology, Australia "Bree Hadley's study of disability performance and spectatorship marks a maturing of the field, a moment which takes stock of the interventions disabled performance artists make in public - and, more specifically, how they can help us redefine and rethink notions of the 'public sphere'. Through grounded and exciting case studies of installation, live art, public space interventions and online public arenas, Hadley shows the challenges disabled artists offer to a mainstream that still wishes to keep disability contained. This book will offer indispensable insights to social practice artists who create encounters as the basis of their art practice, to their critics and their involved observers." - Petra Kuppers, University of Michigan, USA In Disability, Public Space Performance and Spectatorship: Unconscious Performers, Bree Hadley examines the performance practices of disabled artists in the US, UK, Europe and Australasia who re-engage, re-enact and re-envisage the stereotyping they are subject to in the very public spaces and places where this stereotyping typically plays out.

It's a bracing read." - Ric Knowles, University of Guelph, Canada This book asks what is the quality of participation in contemporary art and performance?

Cosmopolitanism and Place

Stitched Up

Spatial Forms in Contemporary Anglophone Literature

The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion

Emily Johansen, Texas A&M University, USA "Johansen shows that the conventional wisdom equating cosmopolitanism with metropolitan life occludes other less urban locales where worldliness thrives. This intervention is smart, timely, and most exciting when it focuses on the weird species called the regional city and that ostensibly less cosmopolitan realm, the country. By reimagining the geography of cosmopolitanism, Johansen gives the concept a much needed reboot." - John Marx, University of California, Davis, USA

Tansy E. Hoskins, Based in London, UK Stitched Up delves into the exclusive and alluring world of fashion, to expose class division, gender stereotyping and wasteful consumption. Tansy Hoskins illuminates the political and sociological dimensions of an industry which promotes and supports the dominant values of our age: image, glamour, money and sex.

Theatre and Event

Staging the European Century Adrian Kear, Aberystwyth University, UK In the beginning of the 21st century, European theatremakers have sought to consider the disastrous events of the 20th century as the unfinished business of the contemporary.

MEDIA, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL THEORY Science Fiction and Digital Technologies in Argentine and Brazilian Culture

Privilege, Agency and Affect Understanding the Production and Effects of Action Edited by Claire Maxwell, Institute of Education, UK, Peter Aggleton, The University of New South Wales, Australia

Edward King, St. Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge, UK Fictional narratives produced in Latin America often borrow tropes from contemporary science fiction to examine the shifts in the nature of power in neoliberal society. King examines how this leads towards a market-governed control society and also explores new models of agency beyond that of the individual.

Embodied Consciousness

Secrets, Lies and Children’s Fiction Kerry Mallan, Queensland University of Technology, Australia 'Kerry Mallan's Secrets, Lies and Children's Fiction is an important study of books that introduce young readers to the complexities of truth. Mallan offers a theoretically informed treatment of the ethical issues relating to how we communicate truthfully and duplicitously in both the private and the public spheres. She takes her theoretical acumen into her close readings of a range of contemporary (and a few more time-honoured) texts for child and young adult readerships. Her choice of texts to scrutinize includes several of the most important recent books by the likes of Brian Selznick, Daniel Handler, Suzanne Collins, and Cory Doctorow. This is a major achievement.' - Roderick McGillis, University of Calgary, Canada Many children learn from a young age to tell the truth. They also learn that some lies are necessary in order to survive in a world that paradoxically values truthtelling, but practises deception. This book examines this paradox by considering how deception is often a necessary means of survival for individuals, families, governments, and animals. Contents: INTRODUCTION: THE BURDEN OF TRUTH * PART I: TRUTH, LIES, AND SURVIVAL * 1. Unveiling the truth * 2. Lies of Necessity * 3. The scapegoat * PART II: SECRETS AND SECRECY * 4.

Social Movements and Their Technologies Wiring Social Change Stefania Milan, Tilburg University, The Netherlands "Stefania Milan's study of emancipatory media activism represents a distillation of her considerable research into its many forms over a number of years and in a number of countries, inflected by her own experience as an information activist. She gives full weight to the critical gender dimension of the subject, to a spectrum of technology uses, and the intersections with vital policy issues. Hers is a very substantive contribution to debate around social movement media." - John D.H. Downing, Sage Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media The book explores the interplay between social movements and their ‘liberated technologies’. It analyzes the rise of low-power radio stations and radical internet projects (‘emancipatory communication practices’) as a political subject, focusing on the sociological and cultural processes at play.

Esther Peeren, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands "This is an important and original work of criticism. The perspective it adopts is fresh and gripping; the application of the 'spectral metaphor' to non-literal situations, such as the 'invisibility' of migrant workers and domestic servants, expands the sense of 'spectrality' in fascinating new ways; the scholarship and theoretical acumen are superb throughout; the written style of the work is elegant, precise and accessible; and the political and ethical implications of the study are lucidly spelled out, without any attempt prematurely to resolve the most difficult issues." - Colin Davis, Royal Holloway University of London, UK What does it mean to live as a ghost? Exploring spectrality as a metaphor in the contemporary British and American cultural imagination, Peeren proposes that certain subjects – migrants, servants, mediums and missing persons – are perceived as living ghosts and examines how this figuration can signify both dispossession and empowerment or agency.

Anyone interested in a critical assessment of popular culture in the United States is strongly advised to read this book." - Carl Boggs, National University, USA, co-author of The Hollywood War Machine

Britain After Empire Constructing a Post-War Political-Cultural Project P. W. Preston, University of Birmingham, UK 'This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in contemporary Britain. It traces developments in post-war Britain in the context of the end of Empire, but does so in a different way which focuses upon the role of ideas/narratives reflected in government designs, high arts and popular culture. It is challenging, but always interesting; even where the reader might disagree.' - David Marsh, ANZSOG Institute for Governance, University of Canberra, Australia Through compelling analysis of popular culture, high culture and elite designs in the years following the end of the Second World War, this book explores how Britain and its people have come to terms with the loss of prestige stemming from the decline of the British Empire. The result is a volume that offers new ideas on what it is to be 'British'.

Embodying Memory in Contemporary Spain Alison Ribeiro de Menezes, University of Warwick, UK ’Ribeiro de Menezes has accomplished a major task: to give a form to this debate and, thus, to provide us with a new tool to critically understand better contemporary Spain, including the process of political forces involved, the role of ideologies and the intellectuals, and to move now ahead into the future that is part of the very notion of memory as archive of history but also as an Utopian subtext. This work is a lucid and highly precise tool of knowledge, a book that traces a model of reading the forces in dispute in order to construct a critical narrative.’ - Julio Ortega, Brown University, USA This innovative book examines the emergence of a memory discourse in Spain since the millennium, taking as its point of departure recent grave exhumations and the "Law of Historical Memory." Through an analysis of exhumation photography, novels, films, television, and comics, the volume overturns the notion that Spanish history is pathological.

Pornography and Seriality

The Politics of Education and Technology

The Culture of Producing Pleasure

Conflicts, Controversies, and Connections

Sarah Schaschek, American Institute for Foreign Studies, Germany "In a surprising and astute move, Sarah Schaschek uses the most 'boring' aspects of pornography - its repetitions of the same sex acts, gestures, and affects - as a way to better understand the repetitions, seemingly the same, but always with a slight difference, of seriality itself. Thinking about pornography through the lens of seriality, Schaschek reminds us that the essence of all mass cultural production adheres to rhythmic processes of copying and reproduction." - Linda Williams, author of Hard Core: Power, Pleasure and the Frenzy of the Visible and Porn Studies Repetition and seriality are inherent in pornography and is constitutive for its functionality as a film genre, an industry, and an area of gender studies. By linking the styles of the genre to processes of serial production, consumption, and discussion, Schaschek questions the dominant assumptions about pornography and the stability of the genre.

Attachment Reconsidered

9781137380227

Cultural Perspectives on a Western Theory Edited by Naomi Quinn, Duke University, USA, Jeannette Marie Mageo, Washington State University, USA ‘... a stunning interdisciplinary book! Attachment Reconsidered challenges exclusive attention to the mother-infant bond in classical attachment theory and the universal applicability of a single measuring instrument, the Strange Situation. For example, systematic natural observation reveals that, for Aka children, it is the sensitivity of nonmaternal rather than maternal care that determines their degree of distress during separation from their mothers.’ Patricia M. Greenfield, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Since the 1950s, the study of early attachment and separation has been dominated by a school of psychology that is Euro-American in its theoretical assumptions. Based on ethnographic studies in a range of locales, this book goes beyond prior efforts to critique attachment theory, providing a cross-cultural basis for understanding human development.

The Anthropology of Religious Charisma Ecstasies and Institutions Edited by Charles Lindholm, Boston University, USA "This edited volume makes a significant contribution to scholarship in the fields of anthropology, anthropology of religion, and sociology of religion, among other areas. Charisma is intriguing as a thematic focus because by its very nature it inspires and goes beyond rationality." - Rebecca Sachs Norris, Merrimack College, USA According to Max Weber, charisma is opposed to bureaucratic order. This collection reveals the limits of that formula. The contributors show how charisma is a part of cultural frameworks while retaining its ecstatic character among American and Italian Catholics, Syrian Sufis, Taiwanese Buddhists, Hassidic Jews, and Amazonian shamans, among others.

An Ethnography of British Tourists in Ibiza Daniel Briggs, University of East London, UK "Daniel Briggs has written a brass-neck ethnography of young British holidaymakers on Ibiza, a global focus for hedonism and excess [...] The book is not an easy read. It is not pretty. It describes an episodic mindlessness that might help to explain the underpinnings of the riots of 2011. Sometimes described as a lost generation, this book shows that it is a generation which needs and deserves to be understood. Even so, it lifts the lid off something that you would probably rather not know about." Geoffrey Pearson, University of London, UK This book represents the first attempt to step inside the holiday experience of young British tourists in San Antonio, Ibiza. Briggs' ethnographic study reveals the ugly truth about how and why they get involved in deviance and risk-taking when they go abroad, driven by self validation and a commodified social context.

Daloz pushes the analysis of status distinction to a level it has never before achieved. Rethinking Social Distinction bristles with empirical insight and theoretical sophistication." - Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University, USA The analysis of social distinction cannot indefinitely remain confined to logics of reasoning that are markedly ethnocentric.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY Ecotourism and Cultural Production

Conceptualizing Relational Sociology

An Anthropology of Indigenous Spaces in Ecuador

Ontological and Theoretical Issues

Veronica Davidov, Monmouth University, USA "An outstanding contribution to the study of ecotourism that goes beyond utopian promises and dystopic realities to reveal what is at stake locally and transnationally." - Barbara KirshenblattGimblett, author of Destination Culture: Tourism, Museums, and Heritage Ecotourism is a unique facet of globalization, promising the possibility of reconciling the juggernaut of development with ecological/cultural conservation. Davidov offers a comparative analysis of the issue using a case study of indigenous Kichwa people of Ecuador and their interactions with globalization and transnational systems.

Edited by Christopher Powell, Ryerson University, Canada, François Dépelteau, Laurentian University, Canada '... One of the major strengths of this book is that relational sociology is introduced not as a broad declaration of war to any existing and established current, but rather as a 'federative' epistemological discussion that is introduced by means of a demonstration of its presence, and by illuminating us on its principles as they are developed already in some of the seminal contributions to the field. It is my opinion that this book makes a great contribution to the epistemology of sociology and to the social sciences as a whole.' - Jonathan Paquette, University of Ottawa, Canada

Contents: 1. Historical Foundations and Contemporary Dimensions of Kichwa Ecotoursim * 2. Ecotourism: Nature, Culture, and Ethnocentrism * 3. Ecoturismo in Ecuador: An Ethnohistorical Account of Rainforests, Indians, and Oil * 4. Consuming and (Re)Producing Alterity: Snapshots, Stories, and Souvenirs * 5. In Their Own Words: Ecotourism in the Lowland Kichwa Communities * 6. Shamans and ‘Shams’ * 7. Curating Culture: The Case of the Ethnographic Museum in Chichico Rumi * 8. Discussion and Conclusion

Edited by François Depelteau and Christopher Powell, this volume and its companion, Applying Relational Sociology: Networks, Relations, addresses fundamental questions about what relational sociology is and how it works.

Applying Relational Sociology Relations, Networks, and Society Edited by François Dépelteau, Laurentian University, Canada, Christopher Powell, Ryerson University, Canada 'The companion edited volumes Conceptualizing Relational Sociology and Applying Relational Sociology offer nothing less than a platform to review and renegotiate some of the key aspects and key contributions for the social sciences. The editors' strategy for achieving this is remarkable—they seek to introduce relational sociology based on what they hold as evidence of this way of thinking of society in both seminal and more contemporary thought, and do so by bringing together a strong selection of contributions from established and up-andcoming authors...' - Jonathan Paquette, University of Ottawa, Canada Edited by François Depelteau and Christopher Powell, this volume and its companion, Conceptualizing Relational Sociology: Ontological and Theoretical Issues, addresses fundamental questions about what relational sociology is and how it works.

VISUAL CULTURE The Cultural and Political Intersection of Fair Trade and Justice

Visual Culture

Frank Holl

Managing a Global Industry Tamara L. Stenn, Keene State University, USA "Establishing more just economic exchange is at the heart of building an equitable world. Tamara Stenn does an admirable job of addressing this topic in a comprehensive study of Fair Trade that does not shy away from either its inherent complexities or contradictions, but rather draws on social science theories to illuminate them. Situating Fair Trade within its cultural context – in this case the Bolivian Andes – and local concepts of living well demonstrates that what it brings – particularly to women – goes far beyond the strictly economic. Innovative and creative exercises at the end of each chapter are an added bonus." -Linda Farthing, author, From the Mines to the Streets: A Bolivian Activist's Life and Bolivia on Balance: Evo and the Process of Change The Cultural and Political Intersection of Fair Trade and Justice is an ethnographic study of the effects of Fair Trade on indigenous women, as reported by the women themselves, and seeks to develop a deeper understanding of Fair Trade, globalization, culture, and policy in building justice.

Shahira Fahmy, University of Arizona, USA, Mary Angela Bock, University of Texas, Austin, USA., Wayne Wanta, University of Florida, USA "Visual communication research is influenced by so many disciplines - psychology, sociology, cognitive science, history and others - that it has been challenging for students to get a broad, comprehensive overview. Visual Communication Theory and Research provides easy access to the topic by categorization according to one of the communication field's most durable models. While each chapter describes dozens of studies to illustrate distinctive theoretical or conceptual threads, commentary at the start and end of the book bind the chapters into a broader narrative that authenticates the central thesis of the book - that visual communication research has come of age and that its focus is of increasing importance in a technological society." - James D. Kelly, Indiana University School of Journalism, Indiana University, USA In today’s multimedia environment, visuals are essential and expected parts of storytelling. However, the visual communication research field is fragmented into several sub-areas, making study difficult. Fahmy, Bock, and Wanta note trends and discuss the challenges of conducting analysis of images across print, broadcast, and online media. Contents: 1. Linking Theory to Visual Communication * 2.

VISUAL CULTURE London’s Lost Jewels

Alberto Giacometti

The Cheapside Hoard

The Art of Relation

Hazel Forsyth, Museum of London, UK

Timothy Mathews, UCL, London, UK

London's Lost Jewels has been written to accompany an exciting new exhibition, which marks the 100th anniversary of the original public display and for the first time reveals the Cheapside Hoard in its glittering entirety.

Both a critical study of Giacometti's life and work, and an investigation of their affective power, this book asks what encounters with Giacometti's pieces can tell us about the history of our own time, and our ways of looking; about the nature of human attachment, and the humility of relating to art.

VISUAL CULTURE Hitchcock and Contemporary Art

In the Realm of Gods and Kings

Christine Sprengler, Western University, Canada "Motivated by feminist curiosity (like Pandora), Sprengler cannot resist revealing hidden secrets; namely that Hitchcock's hold on our imagination has found its way past cinephiles into the work of contemporary art. Her exhaustive case studies include moving images, installations, video games, and soundscapes, and her discussion has resonances that go beyond these 'Hitchcockian artworks' to the film/art axis of influence more generally. This is a valuable reference text for anyone seeking sustained analysis of the rapprochement of art and film and the release of cinema's obsessions into the wider field of visual culture." - Catherine Fowler, Otago University, New Zealand Hitchcock and Contemporary Art introduces readers to the fascinating and diverse range of artistic practices devoted to Alfred Hitchcock's films. His works have the capacity to activate sophisticated engagements with Hitchcock's films and cinema more generally, tackling issues of time and space, memory and history, and sound and image.
