SOCIAL THEORY The Palgrave Handbook of Sociology in Britain

SOCIAL THEORY

Edited by John Holmwood, University of Nottingham, UK, John Scott, University of Plymouth, UK "This landmark collection takes stock of more than two centuries of intellectual work with importance for all of the social sciences, for sociology around the world, and for the self-understanding of British society. It is important as history, and important as a resource and orientation for the future." - Craig Calhoun, Director, London School of Economics, UK

Why the Social Sciences Matter

Edited by Jonathan Michie, University of Oxford, UK, Cary Cooper, Lancaster University, UK "This book powerfully demonstrates that if some of the planet's most urgent problems are to be solved, then the social sciences are not just necessary but are in fact indispensable. Humanity today needs high-quality social science more than ever - this book brilliantly shows why and how this is so." - David Inglis, University of Exeter, UK Published with the support of the Academy for Social Sciences, this volume provides an illuminating look at topics of concern to everyone at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Leading social scientists tackle complex questions such as immigration, unemployment, climate change, war, banks in trouble, and an ageing population.

Leading sociologists outline the historical development of the discipline in Britain and document its continuing influence in this essential and comprehensive reference work. Spanning the Scottish enlightenment of the 18th century to the present day this Handbook maps the discipline and the British contribution.

SOCIAL THEORY Writing the Nation A Global Perspective

Now available in paperback

Edited by Stefan Berger, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany "This is a fine work for introducing new historians to historiography and its nuances and complexities... Writing the Nation affirms the importance of history, not simply as a field of study, but also as an act, political or otherwise, that is crucial to the rationalising of socio-political economic formation in the modern age, and possibly before." - Maghan Keita, English Historical Review This book brings together experts on national history writing from all five continents to discuss the role of history in the making of national identities in a transnational and comparative way. The institutionalisation and professionalisation of history writing is analysed in the context of history's increasing nationalisation. Contents: 1.

SOCIAL THEORY The Death and Resurrection of Deviance

The Singular Politics of Derrida and Baudrillard

Current Ideas and Research

Mihail Evans, Institute for Advanced Studies, Romania

Edited by Michael Dellwing, Kassel University, Germany, Joseph A. Kotarba, Texas State University, USA, Nathan W. Pino, Texas State University, USA "Students and scholars will find here a collection that digs deep into the core of the criminological project by examining the history, politics, challenges and, ultimately, ongoing relevance of studying social rule-breaking. This is a valuable survey of the field that restates the value of thinking about social deviation - offering thought-provoking analyses of the thorny question of how it is that behaviour can be condemned or celebrated. The editors have gathered a diverse and valuable set of contributions in the case for and against the study of deviance, deftly highlighting its sustained utility and profound relevance to our understanding of social harm and justice today." - Rowland Atkinson, University of York, UK.

Recent years have seen the rise of anti-politics as a political phenomenon. Beyond this new rejection of the political class there has long existed a deeper challenge to the political itself. Identifying the work of Derrida as 'a politics' and that of Baudrillard as 'transpolitics' this book charts convergences and divergences in their approaches.

Are reports of the 'death of deviance' premature? This collection brings together leading international scholars to analyse uses of the 'deviance' concept to argue its vitality and show its possible utility in a variety of fields including religion, education and media narratives.

Psychosocial Imaginaries 9781137303790

Perspectives on Temporality, Subjectivities and Activism Edited by Stephen Frosh, Birkbeck, University of London, UK Psychosocial studies challenges the traditions of psychology and sociology from a genuinely transdisciplinary perspective. The book reflects this agenda in its varied theoretical and empirical strands, producing a newly contextualised and restless body of understanding of how 'psychic' and 'social' processes intertwine.

Durkheim and National Identity in Ireland Applying the Sociology of Knowledge and Religion

Bordeaux, France

James Dingley, Gibson Institute, Queen’s University, Belfast, UK "Durkheim and National Identity in Ireland provides an engaging analysis of the nation-building process in Ireland. Using Durkheim's theory, this book offers an alternative explanation for the transformation of religious, national, and cultural conflicts into moral ones. Its theoretical arguments and its re-examination of Irish history should capture the interest of scholars in nationalism, sociology of religion, and sociology of knowledge. Its sharp theoretical engagement should generate a nice debate among its Durkheimian as well as its non-Durkheimian readership." - Xabier Itçaina, Researcher, Center Emile Durkheim, Sciences po

This book examines the development of opposed Nationalist and Unionists identities as products of different economies, symbolically represented in religious differences, that impelled conflicting cultures and ideals of best interest that were fundamentally incompatible within a single identity.

In this exciting new work, he sets out the stall for critical realism - a sophisticated appraisal of and provocative challenge to mainstream criminology. It is just the stimulus to fresh debate that the discipline needs.

Affective Relations The Transnational Politics of Empathy Carolyn Pedwell, Newcastle University, UK "While the book deals broadly with affect, the focus on empathy breaks through the prevailing paralysis created by trying to micro-manage the distinctions between affect, emotion and feeling. Instead Pedwell provides a refreshingly clear account of the many ways in which 'the turn to affect' has irrupted across numerous disciplines with unexpected consequences. Affective Relations gives a much-needed critical evaluation of the contexts within which empathy/emotion/affect function. For example, cultivating empathy holds no guarantees for achieving the moral high ground and is always predicated on how one is located. Pedwell crucially reminds us that translating across affective categories is always embedded in specific societal and cultural meaning systems that include neo-colonial enterprises in the development field where identifying with the emotional lives of marginalised others often translates into new models of appropriation and reification." - Sneja Gunew, University of British Columbia, Canada Exploring the ambivalent grammar of empathy where questions of geo-politics and social justice are at stake - in popular science, international development, postcolonial fiction, feminist and queer theory - this book addresses the critical implications of empathy's uneven effects. It offers a vital transnational perspective on the 'turn to affect'. Contents: Introduction: Empathy, Emotional Politics and Transnationality * 1. Economies of Empathy: Obama, Neoliberalism and Social Justice * 2. Affective (Self-) Transformations: Empathy, Social Theory and International Development * 3.

Weber’s Rationalism and Modern Society New Translations on Politics, Bureaucracy, and Social Stratification Edited by Tony Waters, California State University, Chico, USA, Dagmar Waters, California State University, Chico, USA, Tony Waters, California State University, Chico, USA, Dagmar Waters, California State University, Chico, USA "Max Weber survives the many criticisms of his oeuvre because he, more than any other sociologist of his generation, captured the spirit of modernity and in the process developed a scientific vocabulary (such as class, status, and party) that is constitutive of modern sociology. He also conjured up a range of metaphors (the iron cage and the disenchantment of the world) that continue to inspire the sociological imagination. Tony and Dagmar Waters have captured the essence of Weber's world-view and provided fresh and lucid translations of his key ideas. Students young and old are consequently indebted to their lively rendition of the classic texts." - Bryan S. Turner, Presidential Professor, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA This book includes four new and fresh translations classic essays by Max Weber, including Classes, Status, Party; Discipline and Charisma; Bureaucracy; and Politics as Vocation.

Applying Respondent Driven Sampling to Migrant Populations Lessons from the Field Guri Tyldum, Fafo Institute for Applied International Studies, Norway, Lisa Johnston, Tulane University, USA "Respondent driven sampling (RDS) has come a long way since the days of snowball sampling and offers an important new tool for social scientists seeking to study small, rare, and hard-to-find populations. In their book, Guri Tyldum and Lisa G. Johnston offer a definitive guide showing migration researchers to make optimal use of RDS methodologies. Drawing on their incisive understanding of RDS in theory and their extensive experience using RDS in practice they have produced a concise, clear, and eminently readable book that will be of great interest to migration researchers everywhere." - Prof. Douglas S.

SOCIAL RESEARCH METHODS AND METHODOLOGY

Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences Callard, Fitzgerald, Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences, Callard, Fitzgerald

Felicity Callard, Durham University, UK, Des Fitzgerald, Durham University, UK This book offers a provocative account of interdisciplinary research across the neurosciences, social sciences and humanities. Setting itself against standard accounts of interdisciplinary ‘integration,’ and rooting itself in the authors’ own experiences, the book establishes a radical agenda for collaboration across these disciplines. Rethinking Interdisciplinarity does not merely advocate interdisciplinary research, but attends to the hitherto tacit pragmatics, affects, power dynamics, and spatial logics in which that research is enfolded.

Editors: Lisa Blackman, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK and Valerie Walkerdine, Cardiff University, UK Subjectivity is an exciting and innovative transdisciplinary journal in the social sciences.

SOCIAL RESEARCH METHODS AND METHODOLOGY The Palgrave Handbook of Prison Ethnography

Toyin Falola and African Epistemologies

Edited by Deborah H. Drake, The Open University, UK, Rod Earle, Open University, UK, Jennifer Sloan, Sheffield Hallam University, UK "Ethnography as a research practice always presents profound challenges [...] To their great credit the editors of this beautifully conceived and executed volume neither shy away from these problems nor merely indulge in them. Instead they and their contributors take a measured and reflective look at the problems that prison ethnography raises, including those it cannot resolve. Cumulatively, these essays tell us why it matters that the ethnographic study of places of confinement never be eclipsed and why in the end it will not be. In the future everyone who contemplates doing such work will want to reckon with this book and will have reason to be grateful for its lessons" - Richard Sparks, Professor of Criminology and Head of School of Law, University of Edinburgh, UK This handbook presents a rich collection of chapters that focus on the method and experience of in-depth, ethnographic research in prisons. It provides an authoritative and diverse array of international perspectives that collectively demonstrate the social and political dimensions of the use and experience of imprisonment worldwide.

Abdul Karim Bangura, Howard University, USA "The legendary humility of Toyin Falola disguises the unfathomable depth of his knowledge. With seven books and several essays on him, the attempt to understand Falola has become both an industry and a religion—an industry because the plethora of his original ideas demand interpretation and intervention; and a religion because of his uncommon talents, extraordinary complexity, and productivity. Can it be true that Falola is an orisa, a Yoruba god? Abdul Karim Bangura, a political scientist, development economist, linguist, computer scientist and mathematician, has shifted the focus on Falola away from history to science and metaphysics, thereby grounding him in an alternative epistemology and laying a critical foundation for yet another book on one of the most prolific and talented African scholars of our time." - Bridget Teboh, University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, USA

Indigenous Education through Dance and Ceremony A Mexica Palimpsest Ernesto Colín, Loyola Marymount University, USA "Centered around descriptions of the interrelated practices of Calpulli Tonalehqueh, an extant Danza group in San Jose, California, Indigenous Education through Dance and Ceremony makes a significant contribution to the current research literature, especially ethnographies of education. The book aims toward a radical reformulation of what education might look like, as both an intentionally (and intently) personal and cultural/historical project." - Jason Duque Raley, Lecturer, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA In the first book on Aztec dance in the United States, Ernesto Colín combines cultural anthropology, educational theory, and postcolonial theory to create an innovative, interdisciplinary, long-term ethnography of an Aztec dance circle and makes a case for the use of the metaphor of palimpsest as an ethnographic research tool.

SOCIAL RESEARCH METHODS AND METHODOLOGY Affective Methodologies

Defining Crime

Developing Cultural Research Strategies for the Study of Affect

A Critique of the Concept and Its Implication

Edited by Britta Timm Knudsen, Aarhus University, Denmark, Carsten Stage, Aarhus University, Denmark "Affective Methodologies redefines the way we can work with affect in our research assemblages. In a considered and timely application of affect theory to qualitative research practices, Knudsen and Stage have brought together a diverse collection of scholars. From defining figures in the field such as Blackman and Gibbs, to new voices including To and Kølvraa, this book provides a much needed consolidation of the existing trajectories of scholarship on and of affect while opening new ways forward for qualitative research." - Anna HickeyMoody, Goldsmiths, University of London The collection proposes inventive research strategies for the study of the affective and fluctuating dimensions of cultural life. It presents studies of nightclubs, YouTube memes, political provocations, heritage sites, blogging, education development, and haunting memories.

Michael J. Lynch, University of South Florida, USA, Paul B. Stretesky, Univeristy of Colorado-Denver, USA, Michael A. Long, Oklahoma State University, USA "Defining Crime examines and analyzes the most basic of concepts in criminology and relentlessly uncovers the illogical assumptions and applications of the concept of crime—errors repeated over and over since criminology's beginnings. The authors of this book argue that large portions of what is written about the definition of crime are based on false assumptions and biased, sometimes political, ideas. Lynch, Stretesky, and Long leave no stone unturned to show that much of criminology's enterprise has pursued in micro detail only a tiny portion of what true crime is all about. They propose a new definition of crime that will surely lead to studies that explore an old problem in new ways." - Graeme R. Newman, Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany, State University of New York, USA

Contents: 1. Introduction: Affective methodologies; Britta Timm Knudsen and Carsten Stage * Part I: Inventive experiments * Part II: Embodied fieldwork * Part III: Textualities

Defining Crime explores the limitations of the legal definition of crime, how that politically based definition has shaped criminological research, and why criminologists must redefine crime to include scientific objectivity.

It offers refreshing reflections that show how ethnographers' backgrounds can impact on the interpretation and representation of data. A welcome new volume in the field, [this book] will pique criminological field researchers to think more about how their own actions and biographies affect who we study and what we find." - Patricia Adler, University of Colorado, USA This comprehensive collection contributes to, advances and consolidates discussions of the range of research methods in criminology through the presentation of diverse international case studies in which contributors reflect upon their experiences with powerless and powerful individuals or groups.

Interviewing for Education and Social Science Research The Gateway Approach

Carolyn Lunsford Mears, University of Denver, USA "Challenging enough to be of interest to faculty, yet readable enough to hold the attention of a graduate student, this work is an explanation of the methodology Mears used when conducting her American Educational Research Association award-winning dissertation research. Being of the Columbine parent community gave her insider status that allowed access and provided richness to her presentation...Mears leaves the reader shocked, wanting more, and above all fully understanding that this approach is not merely a novelty but an enormously useful, legitimate form of presentation." - Oral History Review This volume introduces a fresh approach to research using a narrator-centred method, which provides a means for researchers to access the often hidden human responses about a situation so that those who make decisions and write policy may become better informed about the true impact of their actions on the individuals involved.

POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY, THE STATE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS European Integration, Processes of Change and the National Experience

Europeanizing Civil Society How the EU Shapes Civil Society Organizations

Edited by Stefanie Börner, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, Monika Eigmüller, Free University Berlin, Germany "The political crisis in Europe is forcing an expanded vision of the field of EU studies in which the relation of polity building to underlying social forces is re-examined. Drawing together a first class set of authors, this volume establishes new resources for answering difficult questions about the confused past, contested present, and possible futures of the European Union."- Adrian Favell, Sciences Po, France In order to better understand processes of European integration, this book offers a new perspective that compares past experiences of change to current transitional moments at the European level. It addresses key questions about European society, EU integration and social change to reveal the social construction of emergent polities and societies.

Rosa Sanchez Salgado, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands "Quite simply the best study to date of the Europeanization of civil society organizations (CSOs). Through meticulous research on four policy fields in three Member States as well as the European Union (EU) itself, Rosa Sanchez Salgado demonstrates that national CSOs are more Europeanized and European CSOs more autonomous than is widely believed. In so doing, she challenges many entrenched assumptions in what has become a highly ideological academic and political debate. Her book will be required reading for anyone concerned with the evolving relationship between organized civil society and the EU, and its implications for the democratic legitimacy of Europe's multi-level polity." - Jonathan Zeitlin, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

Contents: Preface * PART I: EUROPEAN INTEGRATION MEETS HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION * PART II: COMPARING PROCESSES OF STATE BUILDING * PART III: NATIONAL SOCIAL POLICY MAKING AND EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES * PART IV: CONSTRUCTING SOCIETIES NOW AND THEN

The European Union clearly matters for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). EU officials and European political entrepreneurs have been crucial in the promotion of funding and access opportunities, but they have been proven to have little capacity to use CSOs for their own purposes.

Police, Picket-Lines and Fatalities

A Rainbow Europe?

Lessons from the Past Edited by Phillip Ayoub, Department of Political Science, Drexel University, USA, David Paternotte, Department of Political Science, Universite Libre de Bruxelles "The LGTBQ movement is not very much studied in social movement research. This very interesting collection contributes to fill this gap, which is all the more puzzling given the relevance of this movement in the struggle for civil rights and the deepening of democracy at different territorial levels. The contributions address an interesting variety of countries, geographical levels, but also areas of LGTBQ's activities - from legal practices to Queer festivals". – Professor Donatella della Porta, European University Institute, Florence, Italy

This book explores the alleged uniqueness of the European experience, and investigates its ties to a long history of LGBT and queer movements in the region. These movements, the book argues, were inspired by specific ideas about Europe, which they sought to realize on the ground through activism. Contents: 1. Introduction; Phillip M.

A Critical Introduction

How Contemporary Politics and Cultural Programs Redefined U.S. Artists for the Twenty-First Century Paul Bonin-Rodriguez, University of Texas, USA "This book provides a much needed perspective about policy from the point of view of an artist who has been actively engaged in policymaking over time. Its range of examples, thoughtful analysis, and diverse perspectives of policymakers, artists, arts administrators, researchers, and theorists, add up to a book that is a catalyst both for dialogue and for engagement." – Caron Atlas, Arts and Democracy This book demonstrates how and why a majority of US artists must now function as producers of their original works, as well as creators. The author shows how, over the span of 20 years, the USA's cultural policy sector radically redefined US artists' practices without cohesively articulating the expectations of artists' new role. Contents: Prologue * Acknowledgements * 1.Introduction: Performing Policy * 2.A Politic of Purpose: ‘The Arts and the Public Purpose’ (1997) * 3.New Work Now!: The Austin News Theatre Community (2013) * 4.Accounting for Capital: The Creative Capital Foundation (1999) * 5.A Survey Course: Teaching Artists and/as Producers * 6.Linking Creative Investments: Investing in Creativity (2003 and Leveraging Investments in Creativity (2003-2013) * 7.Proposing Place: ‘Creative Placemaking’ (2010-2014) * 8.Conclusion: Power and Capital * Bibliography * Index

This interdisciplinary collection explores what mobility meant, and still means, in the specific contexts of Soviet and East European socialist and post-socialist societies. Together the chapters consider diverse practices of mobility and their different contexts of power, resistance and inequality.

David R. Dietrich, Texas State University, USA "Dietrich's accessible study advances understanding of contemporary conservative social movements, providing an indispensable account of why relatively well-off American citizens protest. The voices of conservative activists from the antiillegal immigration, anti-abortion, and Tea Party movements reverberate throughout Rebellious Conservatives as they seek to restore, preserve, and defend privileges of citizenship, language, education, Christianity, jobs, and fetal rights while simultaneously restricting access to those privileges." - Robert Benford, Professor of Sociology, University of South Florida, USA Rebellious Conservatives analyzes three movements, the anti-abortion/pro-life movement, the anti-illegal immigration movement, and the Tea Party, to show how perceptions of threats to their privileges drives conservative protest and how these movements seek to reshape America.

The Politics of Autonomy in Latin America The Art of Organising Hope Ana Cecilia Dinerstein, Department of Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath, UK "Terrific and necessary. An excellent and informative account of the wonderful movements of revolt in Latin America in recent years." - John Holloway, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico The author contests older concepts of autonomy as either revolutionary or ineffective vis-à-vis the state. Looking at four prominent Latin American movements, she defines autonomy as 'the art of organising hope': a tool for indigenous and non-indigenous movements to prefigure alternative realities at a time when utopia can be no longer objected.

POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY, THE STATE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS The Limits of Political Belonging

Religion and the Politics of Development

An Adaptionist Perspective on Citizenship and Society

Edited by Philip Fountain, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Robin Bush, Research Triangle International, Indonesia, R. Michael Feener, National University of Singapore, Singapore "Originating from a conference hosted by an academic powerhouse, the Asia Research Institute (ASI), National University of Singapore, Religion and the Politics of Development is much more coherent than most edited compilations. It combines a sophisticated, questioning editorial vision with ethnographic richness, and substantially expands the existing body of comparative research literature on this topic. The quasi-religious character of supposedly secular movements and institutions is thoughtfully exposed, including those that sacralize 'development', while pro-poor initiatives are shown to be dangerously narrow-minded when they are grounded in a dismissive approach to religion. The reader is left in no doubt about the deficiencies of aid and welfare provision in all the social contexts considered by the twelve contributors, but is reminded that world politics would be in an even worse state without the 'will to improve'." - Jonathan Benthall, University College London, UK

Mark Edwards, Independent Scholar and Lecturer, UK Citizenship is increasingly the core concept by which human belonging is defined but do we really understand what it is? This book develops an evolutionist argument to challenge accepted ideas about citizenship and question how well it fits between political prescriptions for sociality and human nature. Contents: 1.

Independence of the Scottish Mind

Societies and the Crisis of Globalization Andy Green, Institute of Education, University of London, UK, Jan Germen Janmaat, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "This timely volume represents an excellent intervention within debates about 'the effects of social change on the social fabric' (p. 1) in the context of globalization, increasing inequality and social diversity, and the intensification of concerns about these trends in the aftermath of the financial crisis, recession and the new politics of austerity . . . Their book is a very worthwhile contribution to these aims and should be widely read by all those working in the fields of cohesion studies." - John Flint, International Sociology In this volume, now in paperback, Green and Janmaat employ an original and highly interdisciplinary mixed method approach to identify four major traditions of social cohesion in developed societies, analyzing how these various mechanisms are withstanding the strains of the current global financial crisis.

Elite Narratives, Public Spaces and the Making of a Modern Nation Gerry Hassan, University of the West of Scotland, UK "This is an extraordinarily important and ambitious book for a historic moment in British history. Fearmongering aside, few are addressing the deeper issues. Gerry Hassan is the leading exception. He has been arguing regularly that much deeper and more interesting forces are at work. His analysis of them in this book will stand as an exemplary exploration for all those interested in their own national questions and the nature of 'self-determination' in the era of 'globalisation', wherever they may be." – Anthony Barnett, founder Director, Charter 88 and cofounder, Open Democracy This study explores modern Scotland and examines how Scottish politics, culture and identities have interacted within the national and international contexts in the last thirty years. It considers which voices and opinions have proven influential and defining and charts the boundaries of public conversation to and beyond the independence referendum.

Mark Lauchs, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, Andy Bain, University of Mount Union, USA, Peter Bell, Griffith University, Australia

This text offers an in-depth examination of the influence of culture on welfare states. It suggests new ways in which cross-national differences in culture might be measured and, using a range of approaches, utilizes these measures to explore the role culture plays in shaping differences in social policy frameworks across high income countries.

Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are increasingly seen as a threat to communities around the world. They are a visible threat as a recognizable symbol of deviance and violence. This book uses gang and organized crime theory to explain the groups and looks at policing and political responses to the clubs' activities.

POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY, THE STATE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Immigration and Citizenship in an Enlarged European Union

European Women’s Movements and Body Politics

The Political Dynamics of Intra-EU Mobility

The Struggle for Autonomy

Simon McMahon, Coventry University, UK ''No subject is more divisive then migration policy in the current political debate in Europe. However, six years into the global financial crisis, it is not only migration from third countries, but even intraEuropean migration which creates tensions and controversies. The EU itself does not seem able to address a fundamental crisis of identity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the politics of immigration and citizenship in the European Union, going at the origins of the debate on what it truly means to be a European Citizen. After introducing the theoretical dimension of the politics of immigration and citizenship, the book explores the cases of intra-EU migration in Italy and Spain of focusing on the case of the Roma. This thorough volume is essential reading for those who wish to understand the dynamics of intra-EU migration from a deep, cultural perspective.'' - Professor Leila Simona Talani, Professor of International Political Economy and Jean Monnet Chair in European Political Economy, King's College London A distinctive contribution to the politics of citizenship and immigration in an expanding European Union, this book explains how and why differences arise in responses to immigration by examining local, national and transnational dimensions of public debates on Romanian migrants and the Roma minority in Italy and Spain.

The Welfare Trait How State Benefits Affect Personality

9781137433916

Forum Shopping in International Disputes Aletta Mondré, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany "In her award-winning research, Aletta Mondré suggests that states actively engage in 'forum shopping', and highlights the factors informing their choice of a particular form of settlement. Combining detailed case studies and solid analysis of dispute settlement regimes, her book presents a refreshing take on one of the big contemporary debates at the fault lines of international law/IR scholarship. It deserves a wide readership." - Christian J. Tams, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom In a dispute, governments weigh up their options when selecting between various dispute settlement mechanisms. By scrutinising the interaction of institutional design with state interests, this book analyses why particular forums are selected in maritime boundary disputes.

POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY, THE STATE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Anti-Social Behaviour in Britain

Riot, Unrest and Protest on the Global Stage

Victorian and Contemporary Perspectives Edited by Sarah Pickard, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle3, France "This is a gem of a book. It is an impressive collection of essays that successfully problematizes and historicizes anti-social behaviour. Moreover, it is a truly interdisciplinary endeavour - and it is all the stronger as a result. It is theoretically-informed, packed full of fascinating case studies and has much to offer historians, criminologists, and sociologists, not to mention those working in the fields of police studies, politics and social policy. It casts fresh light on the history of anti-social behaviour in the Victorian era as well as underlining the complex nature of the phenomenon as it manifests itself at the start of the twenty-first century." - Andy Croll, University of South Wales, UK This comprehensive, interdisciplinary collection examines diverse forms of anti-social behaviour in Victorian and contemporary Britain, providing a unique comparison of the methods which have been employed by governments to control it.

Extreme Punishment Comparative Studies in Detention, Incarceration and Solitary Confinement Edited by Keramet Reiter, University of California, Irvine, USA, Alexa Koenig, University of California, Berkeley, USA "A deeply disturbing and very powerful anthology on the use of "extreme punishments" in the United States, England, and Canada. Professors Reiter and Koenig present a collection of excellent essays that covers topics such as the use of solitary confinement, supermax prisons, immigration detentions, and the "social death" of detention in Guantanamo. The book is unique and especially important in showing how this transcends a single nation and how it involves many different forms of punishments that are cruel and inhumane. This book deserves a wide readership and should be the catalyst for long overdue change." - Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Distinguished Professor of Law, Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law, School of Law, University of California, Irvine, USA This ground-breaking collection examines the erosion of the legal boundaries traditionally dividing civil detention from criminal punishment.

Violent Neoliberalism Development, Discourse, and Dispossession in Cambodia

Rebel Friendships “Outsider” Networks and Social Movements Benjamin Shepard, New York City College of Technology, City University of New York, USA Rebel Friendships explores the ties between people connected through affinity and efforts aimed at social change.

Simon Springer, University of Victoria, Canada "Empirically-grounded, and theoretically-rich, this revolutionary book constitutes the most provocative account of contemporary Cambodia yet written. It is, though, much more, in that Springer provides a radically new way of thinking about the complex intersection of violence and economic development. Violent Neoliberalism will challenge and transform how scholars must think through political economy." - James Tyner, Professor, Department of Geography, Kent State University, Ohio, USA Violent Neoliberalism explores the complex unfolding relationship between neoliberalism and violence. Employing a series of theoretical dialogues on development, discourse and dispossession Cambodia, this study sheds significant empirical light on the vicious implications of free market ideology and practice.

The Public on the Public The British Public as Trust, Reflexivity and Political Foreclosure

Denmark and Beyond Nicole Stokes-DuPass, Holy Family University, USA "Through rigorous empirical and theoretical analysis, Stokes-DuPass provides insightful ways of understanding how Danish citizenship and identity formation exclude migrants with non-European backgrounds. Stokes-DuPass rightly argues that the nation-state continues to be an important locus of power in structuring and regulating the unequal relationships between ethnic Danes and naturalized Danes. This is a critical and timely contribution to the study of citizenship in Scandinavia that is tormented by explicit anti-immigration forces. Stokes-DuPass has written an original and knowledgeable book and has made a significant contribution to the field of Nordic migration and citizenship studies." - Barzoo Eliassi, Senior Lecturer, Linnaeus University and Research Associate at Oxford University and the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University Integration and New Limits on Citizenship Rights is a state-centered analysis of citizenship, immigration and social identity.

In Britain, the resistance to popular determination allowed by the financial construct of the public has been so successful that this term, public, must be re-read as politically paralyzing.

Loomis, University of Kansas, USA, Darren Halpin, School of Sociology, Australian National University, Australia Interest Groups & Advocacy engages broadly with the politics of interests.

Modern Slavery The Margins of Freedom Julia O’Connell Davidson, University of Nottingham, UK "Passionately written, brilliantly researched and replete with powerfully logical analysis, Julia O'Connell's book should be required reading for anyone claiming leadership in today's 'new abolitionist movement.' Modern Slavery and the Margins of Freedom establishes beyond dispute that today's self-described antislavery movement fails to address the fundamental realities of what slavery actually is and what is driving its rapid expansion all over the globe. Why, the book asks, do today's abolitionists focus so narrowly on certain forms of enslavement while utterly ignoring so many other equally heinous practices? The deeply disturbing answers to this question demand that today's abolitionists reexamine our beliefs and revise our basic assumptions." - James Brewer Stewart, Founder, Historians Against Slavery and James Wallace Professor of History Emeritus, Macalester College, USA Providing a unique critical perspective to debates on slavery, this book brings the literature on transatlantic slavery into dialogue with research on informal sector labour, child labour, migration, debt, prisoners, and sex work in the contemporary world in order to challenge popular and policy discourse on modern slavery.

RACE AND ETHNICITY European Social Movements and Muslim Activism

Citizenship, Identity and the Politics of Multiculturalism

Another World but with Whom?

The Rise of Muslim Consciousness

Timothy Peace, University of Stirling, UK "In this rich study, Timothy Peace bridges two fields of research: social movements and the politics of religion. His book provides an original analysis of the successes (and failures) of the participation of Muslim activists in the protest campaigns of the Global Justice Movement. Comparing two classical cases, France and Great Britain, his work goes beyond existing knowledge of the effects of citizenship regimes on political participation by looking at the mechanisms that explain the different reactions of social movements when faced with diversity. This is an important contribution to social movement studies." - Professor Della Porta, European University Institute, Italy

Now available in paperback

Nasar Meer, University of Strathclyde, UK "Widely researched and lucidly organized and written, this book is a timely contribution to the study of Muslim engagement with education, media, and political activism in the United Kingdom. It focuses on current developments at the same time that it draws on legal and parliamentary history and on the theoretical insights of sociologists such as W.E.D. Du Bois. Nasar Meer advances innovative paradigms for anchoring Muslim identity in the dynamic religious life of twenty-first century Britain." - Professor Nabil Matar, University of Minnesota, USA

How do progressive social movements deal with religious pluralism? In this book, Timothy Peace uses the example of the alter-globalisation movement to explain why social movement leaders in Britain and France reacted so differently to the emergence of Muslim activism.

In this updated new paperback, Meer further develops a novel sociological and political understanding of Muslim identities in Britain. Using case studies of Muslim mobilizations over issues of education, discrimination legislation and media representation, it also considers the local impact of global concerns such as terrorism and radicalism.

RACE AND ETHNICITY Making Citizens

The Politics of Immigration in Multi-Level States

Public Rituals and Personal Journeys to Citizenship Bridget Byrne, University of Manchester, UK "This book offers a unique international study of citizenship ceremonies, comparing public rituals of 'national welcome' across six countries. Drawing on observations of ceremonies in six countries, as well as interviews with new citizens in Britain, Byrne offers a rich account that sheds light on the tensions, dissonances, and convergences surrounding the significance and experiences of citizenship. Byrne takes us from the pomp and circumstance of some large ceremonies or more modest and less formal ones, to the long, and at times difficult 'journeys' and experiences of those that she aptly refers to as 'citizands' (like graduands). She reveals how a nation's hospitality can be more uneven, fraught, and tenuous than the ceremonies suggest. This book gives readers a vivid picture of citizenship ceremonies as a rich social space and social event that Byrne consistently situates within wider historical and political contexts and debates over immigration. A must read for anyone interested in citizenship attribution and acquisition." - Anne-Marie Fortier, Lancaster University, UK In an increasingly mobile world with mounting concerns about the states' control of borders and migration, passports and citizenship rights matter more than ever. This book asks what citizenship ceremonies can tell us about how citizenship is understood through empirical research in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland. Contents: 1.

Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series

Edited by Eve Hepburn, University of Edinburgh, Ricard Zapata-Barrero, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain "Comparative studies of immigration policies and politics generally regard the state as a single agent or arena. The essays and case studies in this volume show how territorial divisions inside democratic states matter for the governance of immigration as well as for political competition between parties over immigration issues. This book presents the most comprehensive and systematic attempt so far to understand how territorial interests at substate level shape responses to international migration." - Rainer Bauböck, European University Institute, Italy This book develops an exploratory theory of immigration in multilevel states addressing two themes: governance and political parties. It examines not only how, and by whom, immigration policy is decided and implemented at different levels, but also how it has become a key-issue of party competition across multilevel states.

Edited by Stephanie A. Fryberg, University of Arizona, USA, Ernesto Javier Martínez, University of Oregon, USA "The Truly Diverse Faculty will be the 'go to' book for university leaders who aspire to create, nurture, and sustain a diverse faculty but who too frequently fail to grasp what that goal requires of our higher education institutions. It gives administrators and faculty personnel committees a compelling analysis of what often goes awry when faculty newcomers to the professoriate are hired and expected to simply fit in with existing, narrow standards of excellence. It provides powerful examples of institutional failures when common diversity narratives convey that faculty of color strive for success but fall short, not because of normative and procedural shortcomings of institutions but because of their own weaknesses. Fortunately, this book also offers equally powerful examples of institutional successes—approaches to creating a truly diverse faculty that work. Importantly, although geared to a higher education audience, this book has much to offer to other institutions that also must diversify to represent and connect with increasingly diverse clients, customers, and colleagues." - Patricia Gurin, Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies, Faculty Associate, Research Center for Group Dynamics, Institute for Social Research, and Director of Research, Program on Intergroup Relations, University of Michigan, USA

RACE AND ETHNICITY Asylum Seekers, Social Work and Racism Shepard Masocha, University of Kent, UK

Black Magic Woman and Narrative Film Race, Sex and Afro-Religiosity

This book analyses social work through the concept of 'xenoracism' to challenge the outdated concepts of racism that still pervade social work. It illustrates how, through their discursive practices, social workers are able to counteract the dominant anti asylum seeking discourses.

Montré Aza Missouri, Howard University, USA Black Magic Woman and Narrative Film examines the transformation of the stereotypical 'tragic mulatto' from tragic to empowered, as represented in independent and mainstream cinema. The author suggests that this transformation is through the character's journey towards African-based religions.

RACE AND ETHNICITY The Hip-Hop Underground and African American Culture

Black Social Movements in Latin America

Beneath the Surface

From Monocultural Mestizaje to Multiculturalism James Braxton Peterson, Lehigh University, USA "By applying the interpretive sensibility of hip-hop culture to some of the most significant questions in contemporary arts and letters, James Braxton Peterson challenges received wisdom and replaces it with a more sophisticated, more practical, and ultimately more honest picture of America, itself. The Hip-Hop Underground and African American Culture firmly establishes Peterson's place in the vanguard of modern cultural scholarship." - Joseph Schloss, author of Making Beats: The Art of Sample Based Hip-Hop

The underground is a multi-faceted concept in African American culture. Peterson uses Richard Wright, KRSOne, Thelonius Monk, and the tradition of the Underground Railroad to explore the manifestations and the attributes of the underground within the context of a more panoramic picture of African American expressivity within hip-hop.

Edited by Jane Garnett, University of Oxford, UK, Sondra L. Hausner, University of Oxford, UK "The need for boldly comparative and theoretically sophisticated work on diasporas has become increasingly obvious in recent years. This book responds to that need brilliantly as it crosses disciplinary boundaries in presenting case studies of interactions between religion, diaspora and citizenship from around the world. Taken together, the chapters present us with methodological as well as theoretical inspiration. They also encourage us to consider still wider questions, about the connections and disjunctions between forms of political, cultural and religious belonging, and the links between territory and association in human life, past and present." - Simon Coleman, University of Toronto, Canada This edited collection addresses the relationship between diaspora, religion and the politics of identity in the modern world. It illuminates religious understandings of citizenship, association and civil society, and situates them historically within diverse cultures of memory and state traditions.

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE STUDIES Vulnerability, Exploitation and Migrants Insecure Work in a Globalised Economy Edited by Louise Waite, University of Leeds, UK, Gary Craig, University of Durham, UK, Hannah Lewis, Leeds University, UK, Klara Skrivankova, Anti-Slavery International, UK "This wide ranging volume explores the relation between migration, exploitation and globalisation from multiple perspectives, bringing together diverse experiences from the global north and the global south. It exposes the structural underpinnings of the production of vulnerability through the lack of global governance of labour relations, and the stringency of global citizenship regimes. Setting ethnographic and qualitative studies of migrants alongside political economic analysis of neoliberal capitalist development it provides fascinating analysis of how global capital impacts on daily lives, and offers some examples of how to fight back." - Bridget Anderson, University of Oxford, UK Globalization, the economic crisis and related policies of austerity have led to a growth in extreme exploitation at work, with migrants particularly vulnerable. This book explores the lives of the growing numbers of severely exploited labourers in the world today, questioning how we can respond to such globalized patterns of extreme inequality.

Migration and Religion in East Asia North Korean Migrants’ Evangelical Encounters Jin-Heon Jung, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany "This absorbing study, unparalleled in modern migration studies, is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in South Korea and Chinese-North Korean borderlands, and on North Korean migrants' narratives of Christian conversion. Brilliantly described is how, while repression and poverty drive defection, Christianity provides aspirations and the promise of church welfare in South Korea." - David Parkin, University of Oxford, UK This book sheds light on North Korean migrants' Christian encounters and conversions throughout the process of migration and settlement. Focusing on churches as primary contact zones, it highlights the ways in which the migrants and their evangelical counterparts both draw on and contest each others' envisioning of a reunified Christianized Korea.

Oliviero Angeli, Department of Political Science, University of Dresden, Germany "This rigorously argued innovative book discusses the moral significance of territory. Using sharp analytic tools Dr. Angeli exposes mercilessly the fallacies in the traditional treatment of issues including cosmopolitanism and self-determination. Under his view moral cosmopolitanism does not preclude territorial rights. This book challenges the most entrenched beliefs of contemporary political theorists and provides an original and a compelling alternative which will greatly influence contemporary discourse concerning the international order." – Alon Harel, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Territorial rights are often perceived to create barriers and discriminate against the poor. This study challenges that notion by re-examining the cosmopolitan understanding of territory. It addresses issues from the right to vote, the right to exclude others to the legitimacy of territorial boundaries and the exploitation of natural resources. Contents: Introduction * 1. Genealogies of the Territorial State * 2. Territorial Rights and Rights over Territory * 3. Territorial Inclusion and its Boundaries * 4. Territorial Exclusion and its Boundaries * 5.

Comparative Territorial Politics

Borderities and the Politics of Contemporary Mobile Borders Anne Laure Amilhat Szary, Université Grenoble Alpes, France, Frédéric Giraut, Université de Genève, Switzerland "Through this important collaborative intervention, Amilhat Szary and Giraut, at long last, bring the promise of the widely heralded 'spatial turn' to border studies. Breaking through the by-now tedious incantation that borders have not disappeared as a result of globalization and 'are still with us', the contributors to this exciting volume move the discipline's goalposts by articulating a powerfully normative political project for border studies, one that is critically attuned to the geometries of power and their effects in every act of de/re-bordering. Unafraid of critical social theory, demonstrating a cutting-edge spatial sensibility and alive to both the epistemological and governmental stakes of borders-on-the-move (ie, 'borderities'), the volume reveals an international palette of established border scholarship at the top of its game, including an up-and-coming generation of voices eager to make their mark on the field. Their work will challenge us to expand the future horizon of border studies in richly unanticipated directions."- Olivier Thomas Kramsch, Radboud University, The Netherlands This book explores the emerging forms and functions of contemporary mobile borders. It deals with issues of security, technology, migration and cooperation while addressing the epistemological and political questions that they raise. The 'borderities' approach illuminates the question of how borders can be the site of both power and counter-power. Contents: 1.

MIGRATION AND REFUGEE STUDIES Migration, Diversity, and Education

Muslim Moroccan Migrants in Europe

Beyond Third Culture Kids

Transnational Migration in its Multiplicity

Edited by Saija Benjamin, University of Helsinki, Finland, Fred Dervin, University of Helsinki, Finland The concept of Third Culture Kids is often used to describe people who have spent their childhood on the move, living in many different countries and languages. This book examines the hype, relevance and myths surrounding the concept while also redefining it within a broader study of transnationality to demonstrate the variety of stories involved.

Moha Ennaji, Cal Poly, Pomona, USA "Muslim Moroccan Migrants in Europe forces us to revisit our understanding of transnational culture in some fundamental ways, and demonstrates that 'diaspora' is less a historical condition than a set of practices through which migrants pursue a variety of alliances and associations. In the process, the text takes into account highly divergent ways of imagining identity beyond the boundaries of nation and language. The research itself is quite imaginative and is framed throughout by subtle questioning and great analysis. It clearly establishes Ennaji as a fine cultural critic, as alert to the tensions and anxieties of difference and distance as to the yearnings for affiliation and solidarity." - Alamin Mazrui, Rutgers University, USA

Based on the author’s fieldwork and readings of media, government reports, and historical and contemporary records, this book explores how Muslim migrants in Europe contribute to a changing European landscape, focusing on Muslim Moroccan migrants.

Studies in International Performance

The contributors investigate the inter-relationships between migrant remittances and the family in Asia. They argue that, in the context of Asian transnational labour migration where remittances tend to become a primary currency of care, the making or breaking of the family unit is mainly contingent on how individuals handle remittance processes.

An Ethnographic Approach

Edited by Felicitas Hillmann, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, Marie Pahl, University of Cologne, Germany, Birte Rafflenbeul, University of Cologne, Germany, Harald Sterly, University of Cologne, Germany

Alexandria Innes, University of East Anglia, UK This study focuses on the field of security studies through the prism of migration. Using ethnographic methods to illustrate an experiential theory of security taken from the perspective of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe, it effectively offers a means of moving beyond state-based and state-centric theories in International Relations.

The contributors present empirical and theoretical insights on current debates on environmental change, adaptation and migration. While focusing on countries subject to environmental degradation, it calls for a regional perspective that recognises local actors and a systematic link between development studies and migration research.

Material Cultures, Migrations, and Identities What the Eye Cannot See Anna Pechurina, Leeds Beckett University, UK "In this richly descriptive and highly analytical book, Anna Pechurina introduces readers to a world in which migrants (in this case divers waves of Russian immigrants) achieve their diasporic identity through the use and display of material objects in the home. Using visual methodologies combined with in-depth interviews, she explores how a sense of Russianness is created in complex and even contradictory ways. A wonderfully evocative book which deserves to be read by students of migration, the home and family life alike." - Carol Smart, University of Manchester, UK Focusing on the experiences of Russian migrants to the United Kingdom, this book explores the connection between migrations, homes and identities. It evaluates several approaches to studying them, and is structured around a series of case studies on attitudes to homemaking, food and cooking, and clothing. Contents: Introduction * 1.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY ‘Honour’ Killing and Violence

Women and Violence

Theory, Policy and Practice

The Agency of Victims and Perpetrators

Edited by Aisha K. Gill, University of Roehampton, UK, Carolyn Strange, Australian National University, Australia, Karl Roberts, University of Western Sydney, Australia "The chapters in 'Honour' Killing and Violence bring an invaluable, interdisciplinary perspective to a topic that incites debates characterized more by heat than light. The contributors to this volume do not shy away from these controversies, which is what makes this volume so timely. At the same time, they do not allow those controversies to limit their analyses to well-trod ground and blind alleys, which is why the volume is so illuminating. The chapters rely on original empirical evidence and argumentation informed by anthropology, criminology, legal reasoning, history, political science, and psychology to urge a multi-level, multi-causal approach to understanding honour violence and responses to it. No matter how much you think you know about 'honour' based violence, you will learn something new and question some of your assumptions about it by reading this book." - Rosemary Gartner, University of Toronto, Canada

Edited by Herjeet Marway, University of Birmingham, UK, Heather Widdows, University of Birmingham, UK "This exciting volume explores the many facets of women and violence. The authors address a range of important topics including rape, prostitution, self-harm, pornography, suicide bombing, and birth, and theorise them using a range of philosophical concepts. Issues of agency, consent, coercion, victimhood and autonomy recur throughout the book, such that the reader gains a rich insight not only into various types of gendered violence but also into the concepts that are needed to understand them philosophically. This collection is essential reading for students and researchers interested in all aspects of feminism in particular, and political philosophy in general." - Clare Chambers, University of Cambridge, UK

In this interdisciplinary collection leading experts and scholars from criminology, psychology, law and history provide a compelling analysis of practices and beliefs that lead to violence against women, men and children in the name 'honour'.

Lucy Nicholas, Swinburne University, Australia "Quite simply one of the most impressive, thoughtful and careful expositions of the new terrain of androgynous ethics of the self that arises from the advances of queer theory, gender critique and the deconstructive turn in social theory. Nicholas succeeds in the difficult task of authoritative exposition of the range of gendered, social and ethical theory balanced in a discursive style that encourages reflection, thought and engagement. The clarity of this approach to thinking gender and ethics, combined with a fine grasp and deployment of complex theory in a refreshingly accessible articulation, makes this a pleasure to read. This is indispensable to anyone who wants to understand the frontiers of thinking identity, self and gender today and an exciting challenge to move against and in transgression of those frontiers." - Paul Reynolds, Edge Hill University, UK Can society operate without gender and even biological sex classifications? Queer Post-Gender Ethics argues that we could exist, formulate our relationships and be sexual in more androgynous ways. Outlining a political vision for how a postgender sociality might be achieved, it presents queer social practices for a truly gender neutral world. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Juliet Mitchell and the Lateral Axis Twenty-First-Century Psychoanalysis and Feminism

Sex, Ethics, and Young People Moira Carmody, University of Western Sydney, Australia "An outstanding and highly original contribution to the growing international literature on sex and relationships education. The book's goal of placing sexual violence center-stage in sexuality education is to be welcomed. Its concern to take seriously what participants of different ages bring to, and expect from, sex makes a refreshing change. Its desire to promote an 'ethics of sex', in which pleasure takes its place alongside dignity and respect for difference, marks a major advance on recent thinking and debate." - Peter Aggleton, Scientia Professor of Education and Health, Centre for Social Research in Health, University of New South Wales, Australia Sex, Ethics, and Young People brings together research and practice on sexuality and violence prevention education. Carmody focuses on showing how the challenges faced by young people negotiating their sexual lives can be addressed by a six week interactive skill based Sex and Ethics Program.

In a remarkably clear and precise way, the authors introduce crucial concepts she developed, contextualise them and explore their theoretical and clinical implications. This book is a marvellous tool which will help the complete beginner but also the experienced academic to understand how much Juliet Mitchell's work opens up a new horizon in psychoanalytic theory." - Lionel Bailly, Senior Lecturer in Psychoanalysis, University College London, UK This volume fills the gap in books dedicated to the ideas of ground-breaking theorist Juliet Mitchell.

Edited by Àngels Carabí, University of Barcelona, Spain, Josep M.

It also makes a major scholarly contribution in engaging very seriously across the social sciencehumanities boundary, and between social scientists and literary, cultural, and humanities scholars. Such boundary-crossing brings new angles and elements of uncertainty, unsettling, and surprise into the analysis and the politics around men and masculinities, and this is what is needed for change." - Jeff Hearn, Professor, Örebro University, Sweden; Hanken School of Economics, Finland; University of Huddersfield, UK

21st Century Jocks Sporting Men and Contemporary Heterosexuality

9781137409355

Now available in paperback

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, Director of the 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, now in paperback, explores how jocks have redefined heterosexuality, and no longer fear being thought gay for behaviors that constrained men of the previous generation.

Intersex, Theology, and the Bible Troubling Bodies in Church, Text, and Society Edited by Susannah Cornwall, Lincoln Theological Institute in the Department of Religions and Theology, School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, University of Manchester, UK "In this rich and multi-dimensional study, Susannah Cornwall has shown that intersex is a critically important, theologically suggestive, and historically threatening category in the practice and study of religion. This examination of a neglected subject is required reading for anyone who cares about bodies, gender, or religion." - Candida Moss, University of Notre Dame, USA Intersex bodies have been figured as troubling by doctors, parents, religious institutions and society at large. In this book, scholars draw on constructive and pastoral theologies, biblical studies, and sociology, suggesting intersex's capacity to 'trouble' is positive, challenging unquestioned norms and assumptions in religion and beyond.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY Female Criminality

Drug Mules

Infanticide, Moral Panics and The Female Body

Women in the International Cocaine Trade

Annie Cossins, University of New South Wales, Australia "Annie Cossins has written a remarkable book. In tracing the moral regulation of the female body through the lens of infanticide from the nineteenth century to the present day, this work fills an important gaps in understandings of female criminality and moral panic theory. In situating her analysis within an historical, social, and legal context, Cossins makes a robust case for the way in which sexed bodies underpin how the female criminal might be framed and understood. Any scholar interested in gender and crime would do well to read this book and consider the challenge that this sexed body approach poses for them and their work." - Sandra Walkate, University of Liverpool, UK This is the first book to consider the moral regulation of the female body through an analysis of the crime of infanticide. An in-depth perspective from the nineteenth century to the present, Cossins provides a revealing insight into the history of a little-known but widespread social crime. Contents: 1.

Jennifer Fleetwood, University of Leicester, UK "Despite the plethora of studies in criminology about women and crime that have appeared in the last thirty years, the preponderance of scholarship has focused on women as victims, with relatively little adding to our understanding of women as offenders. In this groundbreaking new book, Jennifer Fleetwood employs feminist criminology to illustrate how women are both victims and agents in illicit enterprises. Focusing on drug mules, women who transport cocaine across international borders, this book traces the various roles women play, the consequences of these roles, and what it means for the future of female criminality. Engaging, methodologically sound, theoretically driven, and just a plain 'good read,' Drug Mules promises to sit on our shelves as one of the most important works on the contemporary global drug trade, women and crime, and changing gender roles published in the last decade or more." Patricia A. Adler, University of Colorado, Boulder Fleetwood explores how women become involved in trafficking, focusing on the lived experiences of women as drug mules. Offering theoretical insights from gender theory and transnational criminology, Fleetwood argues that women's participation in the drugs trade cannot be adequately understood through the lenses of either victimization or agency. Contents: 1. Introduction: Cartels and Cocaine Queens * 2. Imagining Drug Trafficking: Mafias, Markets, Mules * 3. What do Women Talk About When They Talk About Trafficking? * 4.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY Cinema, Gender, and Everyday Space

Reading Bridal Magazines from a Critical Discursive Perspective

Comedy, Italian Style Natalie Fullwood, University of Leeds, UK "Cinema, Gender, and Everyday Space offers a rich history of Italian comedies during the 'boom years' of the mid-century. This eminently readable study is timely in its appearance and will join in the debate concerning not only the way the field of Italian Screen Studies is constituted, but also - and significantly - how it is taught. This book will also join explorations of Italian cinema that take into account gender as a constitutive and conditioning element. I suspect that scholars will find the book rife with useful information, thought-provoking, and very, very teachable." - Ellen Nerenberg, Hollis Professor, Romance Languages and Literatures, Wesleyan University, USA Commedia all'italiana, or Comedy, Italian style, became popular at a time of great social change. This book, utilizing comedies produced in Italy from 1958-70, examines the genre's representation of gender in the everyday spaces of beaches and nightclubs, offices, cars, and kitchens, through the exploration of key spatial motifs.

The Hyper(in)visible Fat Woman Weight and Gender Discourse in Contemporary Society Jeannine A. Gailey, Texas Christian University, USA "This book offers an important and timely intervention into the so-called obesity epidemic. In dialogue with the new fat studies scholarship yet firmly grounded in sociology, Gailey's analysis does something few other accounts do: give voice to the women who are more often talked about and around than enabled to speak for themselves. As much about the politics of visibility as it is about bodies and health, The Hyper(in)visible Fat Woman charts the psychological and social wreckage of fat phobia and discrimination. It is a poignant, compelling read, sure to be of wide interest." – Monica J. Casper, Head of Gender and Women's Studies, University of Arizona, USA In The Hyper(in)visible Fat Woman Gailey investigates the interface between fat women's perceptions of their bodies and of the social expectations and judgments placed on them. The book explores the phenomenon of 'hyper(in)visibility', the seemingly paradoxical social position of being paid exceptional attention while simultaneously being erased. Contents: 1.

Alessandra L. González, Institute for the Studies of Religion, Baylor University, USA "Basing her book on interviews and a survey of over one thousand Kuwaiti college students conducted in 2008, the author reveals the complexities and paradoxes inherent in the relationship between gender, religion, and social traditions in a Muslim society. What is clear is that activism on behalf of women's rights can only succeed if viewed as "legitimate" in the context of religious authority, community norms, and the political framework. Muslim women are seeking their own path to improving their status, one that "fills a niche that Western, individualistic, and secular-based feminism could not reach in traditional, majority Muslim societies . . .

GENDER AND SEXUALITY Space, Place, and Gendered Violence in South African Writing

Metrosexual Masculinities Matthew Hall, Lancaster University, UK

Sorcha Gunne, University of Lincoln, UK "Redeveloping classic settings of anti-apartheid struggle such as prisons, townships, and trains, Gunne reanimates the very characters who contributed to the still unfolding epic plot of a world-historical 'transition to democracy.' Gunne's readings of narratives of 'space, place, and gendered violence' delineate a new topography of apartheid South Africa even as it bleeds into a 21st century critical arena and controversial post-apartheid demographics." - Barbara Harlow, Professor of English, University of Texas at Austin, USA Exploring the relationship between space, place, and gendered violence as depicted in a range of South African writing, Gunne examines the social and political conditions of exceptionality during and after apartheid.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY Queer Teachers, Identity and Performativity Edited by Anne Harris, Monash University, Australia, Emily M. Gray, RMIT University, Australia "Queer Teachers, Identity and Performativity is ... a lively and accessible collection of accounts combining to provide critical commentary on the complexities of queer teachers' contemporary lives and experiences ... a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nexus of schooling and sexuality, and as such a very welcome addition to the gender and education literature." - Gender and Education What do we mean when we talk about 'queer teachers'? The authors here grapple with what it means to be sexually or gender diverse and to work as a school teacher within four national contexts: Australia, Ireland, the UK and the USA. This new volume offers academics, educators and students a provocative exploration of this pivotal topic. Contents: Introduction: Marked Presence/Unremarkable Absence: Queer Teachers, ‘Identity’ and Performativity; Emily M. Gray and Anne Harris * 1.

Gender Pedagogy Teaching, Learning and Tracing Gender in Higher Education Emily F. Henderson, Institute of Education, UK "This book is characterized by its author as 'a thinking exercise'. It certainly is! This is a radical and creative invitation to consider how academic feminism across the political generations resources and replenishes claims to intellectual authority. Using Derrida's notions of 'the trace,' Emily F. Henderson opens her imaginary out to the complex encounters, misfires, misses and entrancing disturbances of 'feminist pedagogy' in a globalized classroom studying gender and development. Sensitive to how power can confound 'intention,' the book provides some innovative ways of reading how 'gender' always eludes its subjects making the task of the teacher and student entangled in self-contradiction but therein she argues lies the allure of tracing how gender speaks and how we might speak about gender." - Professor Valerie Hey, Centre for Higher Education and Equity Studies, University of Sussex, UK When addressed in its full reactive potential, gender has a tendency to unfix the reassuring certainties of education and academia. Gender Pedagogy unfolds as an account of teaching gender learning that is rooted in Derrida's concept of the 'trace', reflecting the unfixing properties of gender and even shaking up academic knowledge production.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY The Afterglow of Women’s Pornography in Post-Digital China

Fierce Feminine Divinities of Eurasia and Latin America

Katrien Jacobs, Chinese University of Hong Kong "Jacobs is the foremost scholar on Chinese pornography, especially in the field of female consumption of pornography. This book builds upon her previously published work but seeks to both both interrogate recent shifts in pornographic consumption and production and revisit some longer-standing themes from her earlier work. By placing pornography within this specific geographical and critical-theoretical landscape, this work breaks new ground and will have a significant impact on the fields of porn studies, LGBTQ studies, and visual culture studies." – Sharif Mowlabocus, Senior Lecturer, University of Sussex, UK Chinese artists, activists, and netizens are pioneering a new order of pornographic representation that is in critical dialogue with global entertainment media. Jacobs examines the role of sex-positive feminists and queer communities to investigate pornography's ‘afterglow’ (a state of crisis and decay within digital culture). Contents: Introduction * 1.

Change, Continuity, Crisis?

Feminism, Media and 21st Century Popular Culture

Edited by Steven Roberts, Senior lecturer in Sociology, Monash University, Australia "An excellent collection of chapters critiquing the ongoing commonsense notion ... that there is a crisis of masculinity. The chapters are united in their deconstruction of this notion, presenting instead a range of portraits of modern masculinities ... It will be of interest to students and researchers in a number of different fields, most notably in gender studies and the sociology of youth." - Charlie Walker, University of Southampton, UK Masculinity, it seems, is in crisis, again. This edited volume critically interrogates the current situation facing contemporary young men. The contributors deconstruct and reject such crisis talk, with its chapters drawing on original research to present a more nuanced reality, whilst also developing a critical dialogue with one another.

Amanda Third, University of Western Sydney, Australia "A fascinating exploration of the historical twinning of terrorism and feminism in the U.S. By redirecting our attention to these important discourses emerging in the 60's and 70s, this book provides a crucial corrective to counter post 9/11 anxieties that continually project the terrorist as somehow coming from elsewhere." - Jasbir K.

Power and Resistance in Prison Middle-Aged Gay Men, Ageing and Ageism

Doing Time, Doing Freedom Thomas Ugelvik, UiT The Arctic University of Norway "Thomas Ugelvik gives us an unusually intimate portrait of the inner world of the prison and, especially, of the nuanced relations of power that shape prisoners' experience. Power and Resistance in Prison is a fine ethnography and a great addition to our understanding of how life in prison actually unfolds." Lorna Rhodes, University of Washington, USA

Over the Rainbow? Paul Simpson, Edge Hill University, UK "Paul Simpson's book makes a strong, original contribution to the field of gay life histories and gay men's ageing . . . because it counters a still widely held stereotype that middle age is seen as heralding the beginning of the end of life's promise." - Peter Robinson, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

Is midlife for gay men the start of a slide towards the rejection, exclusion and misery associated with the spectre of the lonely old queen? Whilst exclusion is possible as gay men age, Middle Aged Gay Men, Ageing and Ageism offers a more nuanced view of gay ageing, using sociological tools to advance understanding beyond stereotypes.

RELIGION The Contested Identities of Ulster Protestants Edited by Thomas Paul Burgess, School of Applied Social Sciences, University College Cork, Ireland, Gareth Mulvenna, School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy, Queen’s University Belfast, UK "Confident societies tend not to obsess about identity. But Northern Ireland does. The identity which is most debated at present is that of northern Protestants. Contested Identities is a timely and thought-provoking series of essays exploring the various manifestations of that identity. As such it will immeasurably assist our understanding of a community which often feels misunderstood and marginalised." – Professor Marianne Elliott, Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool, UK This study explores the idea voiced by journalist Henry McDonald that the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist tribes of Ulster are '…the least fashionable community in Western Europe'. A cast of contributors including prominent politicians, academics, journalists and artists explore the reasons informing public perceptions attached to this community.

Headscarf Politics in Turkey A Postcolonial Reading

Catholicism in China, 1900-Present

Now available in paperback

Merve Kavakci, George Washington University, USA "Sensitive, deeply informed, and courageous." Noam Chomsky

The Development of the Chinese Church Edited by Cindy Yik-yi Chu, Hong Kong Baptist University, Kowloon, Hong Kong "Every China scholar is familiar with the four attempts to introduce Christianity into China. This volume takes up the story of the missions in China from 1900 to the present, and covers such topics as local history, the ending of the civil patronage over the missions, the first six Chinese Catholic bishops, and Sino-Vatican relations. It is a 'must-read' for all those interested in the history of Christianity in China during the twentieth century." - Peter Barry, English editor, Tripod This volume is the product of scholars of various backgrounds, specialties and agendas bringing forth their most treasured findings regarding the Chinese Catholic Church. The chapters in this book covering the church from 1900 to the present trace the development of the Church in China from many historical and disciplinary vantage points.

This book questions the 'role model' status of the Turkish Republic with respect to the advancement of female agency in a secular context by using the study of women with headscarves as a case in point. Turkey's commitment to modernization depends heavily on secularism which involves, among other things, the westernization of women's appearance.

RELIGION The Concept of Hell

Atheist Secularism and its Discontents

Edited by Benjamin McCraw, University of South Carolina Upstate, USA, Robert Arp, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA

A Comparative Study of Religion and Communism in Eurasia Edited by Tam T. T. Ngo, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany, Justine B. Quijada, Wesleyan University, USA

What is the nature of Hell? What role(s) may Hell play in religious, political, or ethical thought? Can Hell be justified? This edited volume addresses these questions and others; drawing philosophers from many approaches and traditions to analyze and examine Hell.

Atheist Secularism and Its Discontents takes a comparative approach to understanding religion under communism, arguing that communism was integral to the global experience of secularism. Bringing together leading researchers whose work spans the Eurasian continent, it shows that appropriating religion was central to Communist political practices.

Youth and Theatre of the Oppressed

Thomas Crofts, University of Sydney, Australia, Murray Lee, University of Sydney, Australia, Alyce McGovern, University of New South Wales, Australia, Sanja Milivojevic, University of New South Wales, Australia "The relationship between the child and sex poses a wide range of thorny questions for late modern societies: increasingly so in the light of access to, and use of, new technologies particularly by the young. This book takes this controversial topic and subjects it to a thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis. Importantly it situates the voices, understandings and experiences of young people themselves, up against prevailing media, legal and educational discourses and in so doing raises some difficult issues for all of these realms. This is a remarkable achievement. In giving detailed consideration to the concepts of pressure, agency, gender, and the role of the image, this book is a must read for academics and practitioners alike who claim to make sense of this territory on behalf of young people. Each of these audiences will be both surprised and challenged by what they read." - Professor Sandra Walklake, School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool, UK This book explores young people's practices and perceptions of sexting and how sexting has been represented and responded to by the media, education campaigns, and the law. It analyses the important broader socio-legal issues raised by sexting and the appropriateness of current responses.

Peter Scharff Smith, Danish Insitute for Human Rights, Denmark "This is a compassionate and gripping account of the impact of arrest, imprisonment and release of parents on children, written from a human rights perspective. For the children, 'always the losers', these experiences constitute a major life crisis, leaving deep traces. Criminal justice professionals are often moved by these realities in their work. Peter Scharff Smith's careful and poignant analysis shows how the prison, families and society interact, and how much collateral damage is done along the way, particularly during times of punitive sentiment and legislation. His book represents applied research at its best, changing levels of awareness, proposing reforms, and adding powerfully to the theoretical literature on the modern techniques, technologies and effects of penal power." - Alison Liebling, University of Cambridge, UK There are millions of children experiencing parental imprisonment all over the world. This book is about their problems, human rights and how they are treated throughout the justice process from the arrest of a parent to imprisonment and release.

AGEING The Core of Care Ethics

Family Caregiving in Aging Populations

Stephanie Collins, School of Social Sciences, University of Manchester, UK "Are care ethics a moral theory? Stephanie Collins offers this synthesis to demonstrate its coherence: 'dependency relationships generate responsibilities.' After Collins' reformulation, moral philosophers no longer can ignore care ethics. It is also essential reading for supporters of care ethics. This is a smart and indispensable book."– Joan C. Tronto, University of Minnesota, USA, author of Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care

Twyla J. Hill, Wichita State University, USA Family members are increasingly likely to provide caregiving for older adults as the US population ages. This book summarizes what we know about caregiving by spouses and other intimate partners, adult children, siblings, grandchildren, friends, and other relatives, as well as by members of racial, ethnic, and sexual minority groups. Contents: 1. Preface: Family Caregiving in Aging Populations * 2. Acknowledgments * 3. Social Context of Family Caregiving * 4. Spousal and Intimate Partner Caregiving * 5. Adult Child Caregiving * 6. Caregiving by Other Relatives, Secondary Caregivers, and Members of Minority Groups * 7. Current Policy Regarding Caregiving and Policy Implications

The ethics of care has flourished in recent decades yet we remain without a succinct statement of its core theoretical commitment. This study argues for a simple care ethical slogan: dependency relationships generate responsibilities. It uses this slogan to unify, specify and justify the wide range of views found within the care ethical literature. Contents: 1. Introduction * PART I: THE CLAIMS OF CARE ETHICS * 2.

Building Resistance to Stress and Aging The Toughness Model Richard A Dienstbier, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA "Dientsbier's work on physiological toughness has been seminal. This well-written, informative and, at times, humorous book complements those of Sapolsky and McEwen - a must read for those interested in resilience." - Jim Blascovich, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA The toughness model proposed in this book incorporates psychological research and neuroscience to explain how a variety of toughening activities - ranging from confronting mental and physical challenges to meditation - sustain our brains and bodies, and ultimately build our mental and psychological capacities degenerated by stress and by aging.

Women, Celebrity and Cultures of Ageing Freeze Frame Edited by Deborah Jermyn, University of Roehampton, UK, Susan Holmes, University of East Anglia, UK "This collection of essays demonstrates that although female celebrities may be many things for many people, they are all ageing in front of our eyes on our screens and the pages of our newspapers. From the repulsive crone to the sexually alluring icon of style, the images of ageing female celebrities are manifold, as is the vocabulary with which to describe them: spinster, witch, star, diva, artist, role model. This timely book challenges our thinking about these images and words, inviting us to look again at the pathologised or invisible older woman and to listen out for her voice, or examine her sexuality, and identify the complexity of the matrices which extend from questions of femininity, sexuality, race and ageing in celebrity cultures." Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary, University of London, UK This book studies the relationship between women, ageing and celebrity. Focusing on an array of case studies and star/celebrity images, it aims to examine the powerful, contradictory and sometimes celebratory ways in which celebrity culture offers a crucial site for the contemporary and historical construction of discourses on ageing femininities.

Ageing, Popular Culture and Contemporary Feminism Harleys and Hormones

This book aims to explore the nature and extent of the 'care deficit' problem in European societies and how effective the different care systems are in dealing with these problems through policy innovation. It combines theoretical and conceptual debates, cross-national comparisons and analytically-driven case studies.

Edited by Imelda Whelehan, University of Tasmania, Australia, Joel Gwynne, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore How has popular film, television and fiction responded to the realities of an ageing Western population? This volume analyses this field of representation to argue that, while celebrations of ageing as an inspirational journey are increasing, most depictions still focus on decline and deterioration.

FAMILY AND INTIMATE LIFE Everyday Friendships

Constructing Transnational and Transracial Identity

Intimacy as Freedom in a Complex World Harry Blatterer, Macquarie University, Australia

Adoption and Belonging in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark

This book conceptualises the lived experience of intimacy in a world in which the terms and conditions of love and friendship are increasingly unclear. It shows that the analysis of the 'small world' of dyads can give important clues about society and its gendered makeup.

Sigalit Ben-Zion, Israel "This uniquely crafted study far transcends its ethnographic objective of depicting the life worlds of Scandinavian transracial adoptees. The understated tension between the tranquil waters of integration, assimilation, and loyalty on the one hand and the turbulent undercurrents of a sense of belonging to visions of another culture on the other engenders an unexpected troubled identity. In a measured and unassuming manner, Ben-Zion unfolds that colorbased predicament as she dismantles run-of-the mill categories such as kinship, embodiment, ethnicity, and nationality. The scholarly, civil, political, and cultural lessons that can be drawn from this finely tuned, sensitive sound box of these different voices of reluctant otherness are tellingly constructive as well as disturbing." - Haim Hazan, Professor of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Tel Aviv University, Israel

FAMILY AND INTIMATE LIFE Baby Boomers and Generational Conflict Jennie Bristow, Centre for Parenting Culture Studies, University of Kent, UK "Like the fabled blind men trying to grasp the nature of an elephant, commentators on both sides of the Atlantic have struggled to understand the significance of the baby boomers, at different times offering very different, sometimes contradictory interpretations. By telling this fascinating story, Jennie Bristow offers a model for a symbolic demography that critically explores how and why we assign meanings to generations." -Joel Best, University of Delaware, USA The dominant cultural script is that the Baby Boomers have 'had it all', thereby depriving younger generations of the opportunity to create a life for themselves. Bristow provides a critical account of this discourse by locating the problematisation of the Baby Boomers within a wider ambivalence about the legacy of the Sixties.

Domestic Violence Laws in the United States and India A Systematic Comparison of Backgrounds and Implications

Conjugality

Now available in paperback

Marriage and Marriage-like Relationships before the Law

Heather Brook, School of Social and Policy Studies at Flinders University, Australia "Women’s studies scholar Brook . . . critically interrogates marriage and the regulation of conjugal relationships. Aptly using theoretical insights from Foucault and Butler, she offers a sharp critique of feminist discussions of marriage as a stable social institution and proposes new ways of conceptualizing marriage as a dynamic arena of regulation based on governmentality, corporeality, and performativity. Basing her study on the analysis of legal and social discourse in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Brook applies her framework in discussing historical and contemporary issues around marriage including same-sex marriage, cohabitation, and divorce . . . Overall, this is an important contribution to the field of women’s studies and feminist theory, and will also be widely accessible for readers who want to learn more about changing meanings of marriage and intimate relationships. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." - CHOICE This book explores the regulation of intimate relationships today. Using historical and contemporary legal-political sources, the author investigates the changing meanings and effects of conjugality.

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION... Gendering Family Policies in Post-Communist Europe

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION, POVERTY AND INEQUALITY

A Historical-Institutional Analysis Steven Saxonberg, Center for Social and Economic Strategies, Charles University, Czech Republic and Dalarna University College, Sweden "This is an empirically rich and thoughtful account of the recent and less recent history of family policies in four Central European countries as well as three traditionally capitalist societies as points of comparison. In this engaging historical-institutional analysis of the dynamics of post-communist welfare states, a first in this field, Saxonberg stresses the importance of historical trajectories and the cultural/ideological context in shaping social policy. The contentious connections among family policies, women's rights, nationalist sentiments and democracy also emerge from the discussion." - Eva Fodor, Department of Gender Studies, Central European University, Hungary Through the use of a historical-institutional perspective and with particular reference to the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia; this study explores the state of family policies in Post-Communist Europe.

THE BODY

Staging the Slums, Slumming the Stage Class, Poverty, Ethnicity, and Sexuality in American Theatre, 1890-1916

THE BODY

The Veil in Kuwait

J. Chris Westgate, California State University, Fullerton, USA "Staging the Slums, Slumming the Stage is deeply researched, carefully contextualized, broad in scope, thoughtful about assessing what has and has not been done in the field, and just plain fascinating. This is not only an important work in late-nineteenth and twentieth-century drama and theatre, but also a major contribution to American Studies. It amplifies and 'corrects' in thoughtful and complex ways our understanding of the Progressive Era, offering a substantive methodology in performing necessary revisionist investigation." - Susan Harris Smith, Professor, English, University of Pittsburgh, USA Drawing on traditional archival research, reception theory, cultural histories of slumming, and recent work in critical theory on literary representations of poverty, Westgate argues that the productions of slum plays served as enactments of the emergent definitions of the slum and the corresponding ethical obligations involved therein. Contents: Introduction: Darnton’s Lament * PART I: MODES OF STAGING THE SLUMS * 1. ‘Strange Things’ from the Bowery: The Tourism Narrative in Slum Plays * 2. ‘What the Poor of this Great City Must Endure’: The Sociological Narrative in Slum Plays * PART III: SLUMMING DESTINATIONS ON STAGE * 3.

Feeling Bodies: Embodying Psychology John Cromby, University of Leicester, UK "This book is not just timely, it's long-overdue. It weaves together a sophisticated, engaging argument that draws on philosophy, neuroscience and an array of psychology sub-fields to firmly locate feelings at the heart of an embodied psychology. It provides a majestic and broad account of the affective realm (including emotions, moods, affects and feeling) and its relevance to psychology, interrogating why this realm has been treated as relatively unproblematic (and under-explored) despite the 'affective turn' that has taken place elsewhere in the social sciences and humanities" – Antonia Lyons, Professor of Psychology, Massey University, New Zealand Before we are anything else, we are feeling bodies. In fact, feelings are an important part of every experience we ever have. This book explains what feelings are, describes their relationship with other psychological phenomena, and shows how their analysis transforms understandings of some key topics related to health and illness.

THE BODY Embodiment and Horror Cinema

Filming the Body in Crisis

Larrie Dudenhoeffer, Kennesaw State University, USA Using the four tissue types (connective, epithelial, nervous, and muscular), Dudenhoeffer expands and complicates the subgenre of ‘body horror.’ Changing the emphasis from the contents of the film to the ‘organicity’ of its visual and affective registers, he addresses the application of psychoanalysis, phenomenology, object-ontology, and cyborgism.

Davina Quinlivan, Kingston University, UK "Filming the Body in Crisis will be a defining text of film studies for the 21st century, as Quinlivan remembers the body – remembers our bodies – as sentient, physical, pained, suffering, full of desire, sadness, hope, and possibility. Arguing deftly for film as an object of hope, this very book models how film scholarship – when sensitive, intelligent, mindful, rigorous, poetic – might also heal and offer hope. I am grateful for this monograph, to which I will undoubtedly return in my own scholarship and teaching." – Kristi McKim, Hendrix College, USA How does film affect the way we understand crises of the body and mind and how does it manifest other kinds of crises levelled at the spectator? This book offers vital scholarly analysis of the embodied nature of film viewing and the ways in which film deals with the question of loss, the healing body and its material registering of trauma.

Orgasmic Bodies The Orgasm in Contemporary Western Culture Hannah Frith, University of Brighton, UK "Hannah Frith's outstanding examination of the historical, biological and cultural 'meanings' of heterosexual orgasm exposes our deep-seated assumptions, prevailing anxieties and hopeful pleasures regarding orgasms. Eloquently reviewing the different theoretical approaches attempting to 'make sense' of this intimate embodied experience (from Freud and Masters and Johnston to feminist poststructuralist theory – and even covering the new biomedical push to market 'pink Viagra'), Frith's 'orgasm is not a 'natural act''. She cleverly demonstrates how popular cultural texts such as Cosmo and Men's Health, which claim to 'inform' readers about the 'truths' of female and male orgasmic experience, actually do more to highlight the inconsistencies and uncertainties of people's understandings and experiences of sexual pleasure. Indeed, Frith's analysis reveals how much 'work' – and what kinds of 'performances' – must go into producing 'authentic' and 'faux' orgasms in heterosexual contexts. Importantly, Hannah Frith brings previous scholarship on the orgasmic imperative up to date by turning to the pleasures of the new neoliberal postfeminist female sexual subject. Written in a beautifully accessible and engaging way, Orgasmic Bodies is the book 21st century Sexuality Studies has been waiting for." - Associate Professor Annie Potts, Head of Cultural Studies, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Orgasmic Bodies explores how bodily experiences of orgasm are worked up as present/absent, complicated/straightforward, too slow/too fast, fake or real, in the doing of masculinities and femininities. Engaging with both science and popular culture it examines the meanings given to orgasmic bodies in contemporary heterosex. Contents: 1. What Is An Orgasm... And Why Does It Matter? * 2.

THE BODY Transforming Bodies

Women’s Bodies as Battlefield

Makeovers and Monstrosities in American Culture

Christian Theology and the Global War on Women

Heike Steinhoff, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany "In Transforming Bodies, Steinhoff performs a detailed and insightful examination of the ways in which popular cultural articulations of transforming bodies function as sites upon which contemporary political, cultural, technological, and ethical concerns about the self and the social are played out. Her strategic appropriation of the ubiquitous makeover narrative, coupled with her innovative account of 'technologies of monstrosity', makes Steinhoff's engagement with oft-overlooked texts such as Chuck Palahniuk's novels, and Scott Westerfeld's youth science fiction series Uglies, a stand-out in the ever growing field of body modification studies." - Nikki Sullivan, Macquarie University, Australia At the turn of the twenty-first century, American media abound with images and narratives of bodily transformations. At the crossroads of American, cultural, literary, media, gender, queer, disability and governmentality studies, the book presents a timely intervention into critical debates on body transformations and contemporary makeover culture.

Black Women’s Bodies and The Nation

Tate, Black Women's Bodies and The Nation

Race, Gender and Culture

Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological Seminary, USA "Reverend Thistlethwaite makes an important contribution to the current debate on the wars we are waging and how they affect violence against women. Her treatment of Christian notions of ‘just war’ makes this essential reading for those who are motivated by Jesus' words: 'Blessed are the peacemakers." - Jimmy Carter, 39th President if the United States, Co-Founder of The Carter Center Christian theology has been complicit in justifying the war on women, but it also has resources to help finally declare peace in the war on women. War itself has come to resemble the war on women, and thus strategies to end the war on women, supported by new Christian theological interpretations, will also help end today's endless wars.

Psychiatry and the Business of Madness An Ethical and Epistemological Accounting Bonnie Burstow, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada "This is a powerfully unsettling book. Burstow expresses outrage about, and level-headed analysis of, the oppressive and alienating practices of psychiatry and holds out hope for emancipation that builds on everyday interactions in a transformed society. It's an outstanding contribution to critical thinking about mental health, and to ethics, law, and social change—a no-holds barred, take-no-prisoners radical history and deconstruction of all modern mental health practices and an ambitious, inspiring 'eutopian' proposal for their reinvention." - David Cohen, Professor and Marjorie Crump Chair in Social Welfare, University of California, Los Angeles, US Based on extensive research, this book is a fundamental critique of psychiatry that examines the foundations of psychiatry, refutes its basic tenets, and traces the workings of the industry through medical research and in-depth interviews.

[It] offers a critical, multidisciplinary, and geographically pluralistic perspective on contemporary healthcare policy and governance issues, which will prove invaluable not only to students of the health sciences but also to health policy researchers and decision-makers around the world." – Dr. Julio Frenk, Dean of the Faculty, Harvard School of Public Health, USA

In one handy volume, the reader is introduced to the canonical theorists in the field from Durkheim, Weber, Robert Merton, Bourdieu, Foucault, to the contemporary scene. The book will be an indispensable resource for all inter-disciplinary scholars in population health, not just medical sociologists but also students of public health, social epidemiology, medical anthropology and beyond." - Ichiro Kawachi, Harvard School of Public Health, USA This wide-reaching handbook offers a new perspective on the sociology of health, illness and medicine by stressing the importance of social theory. Examining a range of classic and contemporary female and male theorists from across the globe, it explores various issues including chronic illness, counselling and the rising problems of obesity.

Starting with more general issues of healthcare policy and governance in a global perspective and using the lens of national case studies of healthcare reform, this handbook addresses key themes in the debates over changing healthcare policy.

Gender, Globalization, and Health in a Latin American Context

This book examines the forces that shape psychoactive drug use. The approach, informed by poststructuralist semiotics, culture, phenomenology and contemporary theories of affect, illuminates the connections between drugs, bodies, space, economy and crime.

Jasmine Gideon, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK "Jasmine Gideon has filled a much needed gap in understanding the links between globalization and gender relations. Her unique political economy framework demonstrates how important reforms in the health sector in Chile have been constructed on the basis of historic male bias, and contemporary deregulation and marketization of key social services. The book holds important lessons for the rest of Latin America, making it a must-read text for all scholars interested in understanding the dynamics of economic restructuring in a post-welfare world." — Ruth Pearson, University of Leeds, UK

Developmental Psychology for the Helping Professions

Contagions of Feeling

Evidence-Based Practice in Health and Social Care

Srirupa Prasad, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA

Brian Sheldon, Peninsular Medical School University of Exeter, UK

This book examines genealogies of contagion in between contagion as microbe and contagion as affect. It analyzes how and why hygiene became authoritative and succeeded in becoming a part of the broader social and cultural vocabulary within the colonialist, anticolonial, as well as modernist discourses.

This book offers a bio-psycho-social approach to evidence-based practice in health and social care. The book presents current evidence on the influence of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors on behaviour, a survey of developmental factors from childhood to old age, and implications for practice at each stage.

DISABILITY STUDIES People with Multiple Sclerosis

Disability and Poverty in the Global South

Condition, Challenges and Care

Renegotiating Development in Guatemala

Paul J. Bull, Independent Researcher, UK

Shaun Grech, The Critical Institute, Malta

Multiple sclerosis is an incurable neurological disease of unknown cause with a fearful reputation for generating disability, unemployment, poverty and early death. This book critically surveys the current state of multiple sclerosis research, demonstrating the shortfall of current research undertaken on the lives of people with multiple sclerosis.

Drawing from long term ethnographic work and practice in Guatemala, this incisive and interdisciplinary text brings in perspectives from critical disability studies, postcolonial theory and critical development to explore the various interactions and dynamics between disability and extreme poverty in rural areas.

Socioeconomic Imperatives and Public Policy in Jamaica

Theatres of Learning Disability

Annicia Gayle-Geddes, University of the West Indies, Jamaica "Disability and Inequality is a wonderful effort to improve the repository of knowledge on persons with disabilities, a vulnerable community in Jamaica and the broader Caribbean. The research contained in the book can only redound to the improvement of the development agenda of persons with disabilities in the region, and the current mobilization within the region to improve the policy and legislative environment for persons with disabilities makes Gayle-Geddes' book a timely one. I strongly and unequivocally endorse this book and commend it to readers." - Floyd Morris, President of the Jamaican Senate, and Coordinator/Head of the University of the West Indies Centre for Disability Studies, Jamaica

Matt Hargrave, University of Northumbria, UK "Matt Hargrave's new book provides an outstanding overview and in-depth analysis of the different theatres of learning disability. It demonstrates an acute sensitivity to the social, political and aesthetic questions raised by practitioners of what has emerged as an important area of contemporary theatre and performance. Theatres of Learning Disability pushes the boundaries of the field and asks the difficult questions about how we discuss and value the artistry of actors, creators and participants." - James Thompson, University of Manchester, UK This is the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on theatre and learning disability as theatre, rather than advocacy or therapy. Hargrave provocatively realigns the - hitherto unvoiced - assumptions that underpin such practice and proposes that learning disabled artists have earned the right to full critical review.

Sharing our Lives Online Risks and Exposure in Social Media David R. Brake, Humber College, Canada "In the age of social media sharing, David R. Brake presents a nuanced, evidence-based, and highly readable account of the dangers of exposing our lives online, grounded in understandable scientific and scholarly theory. Steering between uncritical enthusiasm at one pole and moral panic at the other extremes that have characterized much of the public discourse about the effects of social media - Brake shows exactly how, and in what circumstances, sharing aspects of our personal lives online can be risky. Sharing our Lives Online also offers sound advice to individuals and parents who need to know what to do themselves to take advantage of social media without running into the pitfalls of oversharing, and need to know how to talk to their children about risks and cautions." - Howard Rheingold Why do we share so much about our lives on social media when we often have little idea who might be reading or viewing?

Thinking Through Digital Media Transnational Environments and Locative Places Dale Hudson, New York University Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Patricia R. Zimmermann, Ithaca College, USA "Thinking Through Digital Media brings readers into close contact with transnational environments, ecological interfaces, and machinic performances. Hudson and Zimmermann combine strengths as media curators and digital theoreticians to analyze over 130 art projects. Positing glocal cyberplace over universal cyberspace, they highlight politically collaborative media performances to foreground the digital explosion of critical micropublics happening across the globe. This expansive book serves as an energetic intellectual platform for transnational environments and locative places." – Timothy Murray, Curator, Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell University, USA Thinking through Digital Media: Transnational Environments and Locative Places speculates on animation, documentary, experimental, interactive, and narrative media that probe human-machine performances, virtual migrations, global warming, structural inequality, and critical cartographies across Brazil, Canada, China, India, USA, and elsewhere.

Erik Ringmar, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China "A fascinating, eminently readable and important study of a key moment in the West's relationship with China: the plunder and burning of Yuanmingyuan Palace in 1860 by French and British troops. The immediate causes were expressions of European incomprehension and insecurity when face-to-face with Chinese civilization. The systemic cause was a clash of incompatible conceptions of order, between European sovereignty and Chinese hierarchy. The two conceptions could not be combined and the Chinese were compelled to give way to the Europeans. By focusing on performance, on how the occupying forces sought to present themselves to Chinese and Europeans back home, Ringmar teases out the motives behind their barbaric behavior and some of its longer-term effects on China." - Ned Lebow, James O.

CULTURE AND MEDIA Performing Punk

The Pop Music Idol and the Spirit of Charisma

Erik Hannerz, Lund University, Sweden "Hannerz's examination of the meanings, performances, and identities of punks in Sweden and Indonesia offers a fascinating and unique contribution to subcultural scholarship. The study combines an exhaustive exposition of the plurality of meanings and practices that exist under the contemporary punk umbrella with an intricate examination of the construction and performance of these differing subcultural authenticities through their opposition to negative conceptions of 'mainstream' cultures, both within and without. Engaging, original, and meticulously researched, Performing Punk surely will become key reading for scholars and students of youth culture and subcultures." - Paul Hodkinson, Reader in Sociology, University of Surrey, UK

Now available in paperback

Anne Kane, University of Houston-Downtown, USA "This masterwork brings together a searching inquiry into the structures and dynamics of political culture and a careful, painstaking examination of a pivotal episode in the forging of Irish nationalist identity. Engaged in fruitful dialogue with studies of political contention and social movements, nationalism and collective identity formation, ritual process, and historical change, it will take its place alongside such classics of the genre as William Sewell, Jr.’s Work and Revolution in France." - Mustafa Emirbayer, Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA Anne Kane analyzes the intertwined cultural, political and social transformations that occur during historical events by focusing specifically on the case of the Irish Land War, a pivotal event in the formation of the modern Irish nation.

Edited by Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire, UK, Georgina Gregory, University of Central Lancashire, UK "This collection of articles captures some of the multiple, complex and intricate ways through which the movement of contemporary musical sounds, styles and genres across the globe has an immense impact on notions of identity and their sense of place. Merging theoretical insights and original case studies, the book is a highly welcomed addition to the growing literature on popular music and space, and especially on the ways popular music ushers in aesthetic cosmopolitanism." - Motti Regev, The Open University of Israel, Israel Relocating Popular Music uses the lens of colonialism and tourism to analyse types of music movements, such as transporting music from one place or historical period to another, hybridising it with a different style and furnishing it with new meaning. It discusses music in relation to music video, film, graphic arts, fashion and architecture.

Media Representations of Police and Crime Shaping the Police Television Drama Marianne Colbran, University of Oxford, UK "Media representations of policing are of crucial significance for both the legitimacy and the effective functioning of policing, and indeed social order more broadly. This pioneering ethnographic study is the first to analyse the interactions of creative personnel and the political-economic pressures that shape the production of fictional television stories about the police. It is a major contribution to the understanding of policing and the media, and will be of great value to criminology and to media sociology." - Robert Reiner, London School of Economics, UK This unique book explores the social processes which shape fictional representations of police and crime in television dramas. Exploring ten leading British and European police dramas from the last twenty-five years, Colbran, a former scriptwriter, presents a revealing insight into police dramas, informed by media and criminological theory.

Cosmopolitanism and the Media Cartographies of Change Miyase Christensen, Stockholm University, Sweden, André Jansson, Karlstad University, Sweden "In Christensen and Jansson's wonderfully rich and sophisticated work, we encounter a powerful new account of cosmopolitanism, at the intersection of mediated communication, space and politics.

Conflict in the Academy A Study in the Sociology of Intellectuals Marcus Morgan, University of Cambridge, UK, Patrick Baert, University of Cambridge, UK "For too long analyses of intellectual disputes and campus politics have stood in the shadows of Bourdieu's Homo Academicus with its structural reading of fault lines. Conflict in the Academy at last moves the game forward with a pithy and yet impressively detailed case study. Building on recent cultural sociology it convincingly demonstrates that deep meanings and contingent performances also play a part. Making a significant contribution to the sociology of intellectuals and ideas this concise book punches well above its weight." - Professor Philip Smith, Yale University, USA Examining an intramural conflict that erupted within the English Faculty at Cambridge University in the early 1980s, this book develops a theoretical analysis of disputes as they unfold within the academy and explores the broader historical shifts within Higher Education and how these related to developments in Continental Europe.

Historias de Éxito within Mexican Communities Silenced Voices Octavio Pimentel, Texas State University, USA "I applaud Octavio Pimentel's refigured approach to using a Mexican American methodology of case studies to capture the historias de éxito and 'cultural ways of being' of Luis and Quetzin. Those who conduct ethnographies and case studies on Mexican Americans have much to gain from studying Pimentel's 'confianza' relationship with these two individuals. Pimentel's approach to oral life-narratives should be a model to emulate for researchers who study Mexican Americans."Cristina Kirklighter, co-editor of Voices and Visions: Refiguring Ethnography in Composition Using qualitative research data on Mexican/Mexican Americans and their historias de éxito that center on Mexican centric concepts such as buen trabajador, bien educado, and buena gente, Octavio Pimentel reveals that when social networks guide personal goals in these communities, goals become community-oriented rather than personally-oriented.

New Technologies in Developing Societies From Theory to Practice Levi Obijiofor, University of Queensland, Australia "This comprehensive, go-to book will be invaluable to field specialists and in upper-division and graduate courses in (international) communication. It focuses on developing societies' communication landscape from a 21st-century perspective: technology as a transformative force in every facet of those societies. It blends theories, models, and practices as it presents straightforwardly balanced contexts in which we can better understand—and appreciate— the use of communication technologies in developing countries. The downsides of their use are also clearly presented." - Cornelius B. Pratt, Temple University, USA

CULTURE AND MEDIA Cuban Women and Salsa

The Unacceptable

To the Beat of Their Own Drum Delia Poey, Florida State University, USA "Taking a cultural studies approach, Poey examines a variety of materials: movies, recordings and accounts of live performances, song lyrics, and videos. Throughout she is interested in how performers challenge and inflect racial and gender norms. I especially liked the discussion of the way Mendoza substituted the audience for the male partner in a guaguancó, the critique of Estefan's carefully crafted career and persona, and the insightful reading in the last chapter of Albita's album covers and music videos. A great deal has been written about salsa music in the last several decades, but I don't know of a monograph like this one, which addresses exclusively the contribution of women performers." - Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Columbia University, USA Salsa is both an American and transnational phenomenon, however women in salsa have been neglected. To explore how female singers negotiate issues of gender, race, and nation through their performances, Poey engages with the ways they problematize the idea of the nation and facilitate their musical performances' movement across multiple borders.

Edited by John Potts, Macquarie University, Australia, John Scannell, Macquarie University, Australia "The unacceptable tempts and tests us with new possibilities and unimaginable horrors. This fraught combination of creativity and destructiveness remains the perilous fault line where the most telling cultural tensions reveal themselves. Neither quick to condemn nor seduced by easy enthusiasm, this bold collection takes up the challenge of the theory and practice of the unacceptable, significantly advancing our understanding of the shifting limits of what we are allowed to think, say and be." - Nick Mansfield, author of Masochism: the Art of Power, Theorizing War and The God Who Deconstructs Himself Confronting the issue of the unacceptable as a social category, this collection of international essays provides distinctive perspectives on the theme of what is deemed socially acceptable.

Jane Austen and Modernization Soul, Country, and the USA

Sociological Readings

Race and Identity in American Music Culture

James Thompson, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA "In addition to a new, interdisciplinary perspective on Jane Austen's novels, Thompson's text is a tutorial in the work of six major sociological thinkers from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. The book departs from the pattern of so many Austen studies by treating its texts, not in chronological order, but in pairs, as they best benefit from the context given by particular social theorists. These pairings bring out fresh readings, making the book a true delight. And Thompson certainly convinces us that it 'took sociology a century to catch up with Austen's insight.'" - Deborah Knuth Klenck, Professor of English, Colgate University, USA Jane Austen wrote when sociology was being established as the new discipline to understand social issues such as urbanization and industrialization. Drawing on landmark sociologists such as Durkheim and Bourdieu, this study argues that the novels of Austen were heavily influenced by these early developments in sociology.

Stephanie Shonekan, University of Missouri, USA "Soul, Country, and the USA introduces a new framework for a comparative study of these distinct, yet related musical genres. Stephanie Shonekan, a Nigerian immigrant, interprets their meaning within the context of race and identity and through the lens of democracy as defined in the American Pledge of Allegiance. This study adds an African Diasporic dimension to the literature on soul and country music." - Portia K. Maultsby, co-editor of African American Music: An Introduction, 2nd ed. Soul music and country music propel American popular culture. Using ethnomusicological tools, Shonekan examines their socio-cultural influences and consequences: the perception of and resistance to hegemonic structures from within their respective constituencies, the definition of national identity, and the understanding of the 'American Dream.'

She attends to all this in a cohesive and integrated manner, offering us a highly satisfactory account of selfrepresentations in digital culture.’ European Journal of Communication 28(6)

The result is a fascinating book which should be essential reading for anybody thinking about or researching taste." - Nick Crossley, University of Manchester, UK This book will help students and researchers to clarify a complex concept that is often over simplified in media and cultural studies, the sociology of culture and cultural policy.

Seriousness and Women’s Roller Derby

Careers in Serious Leisure

Gender, Organization, and Ambivalence

From Dabbler to Devotee in Search of Fulfilment

Maddie Breeze, University of Edinburgh, UK

Robert A. Stebbins, University of Calgary, Canada

This book explores seriousness in practice in the unique sports context of contemporary women's flat track roller derby. The author presents a stimulating argument for a sociology of seriousness as a productive contribution to understandings of gender, organization and the mid-ranges of agency between dichotomies of voluntarism and determinism.

Using the concept of fulfilment and the framework of the serious leisure perspective, this book examines the signposts marking the fulfilment career. This career begins with an interest in a serious pursuit, leading to an efflorescence many years later in amateurism, hobbyism, volunteering, or devotee work - and ultimately deeper fulfilment.

Contents: 1. A sport for women who don’t like sport? * 2. Beginnings: How weird it was back in the day * 3. Becomings: More structured and more of a sport * 4. Just a big sexy joke? * 5. Making it up * 6. Non-/seriousness: Playing the game and changing the rules

Contents: Introduction * 1. The Serious Leisure Perspective * 2. Starting a Fulfilment Career * 3. Amateurism as a Route to Fulfilment * 4. Finding Fulfilment in a Hobby * 5.

SPORTS, LEISURE AND TOURISM Theorizing Outdoor Recreation and Ecology

Landscapes of Leisure

Sean Ryan, University of Alberta, Canada

Space, Place and Identities

Ryan examines outdoor recreation through the lens of ecological theory, providing a unique, alternative framework to the dilemmas of user impacts on nature, and the paradoxes inherent within this.

Edited by Sean Gammon, The University of Central Lancashire, UK, Sam Elkington, University of Bedfordshire, UK "This book on space, place, and landscape covers considerable new ground in the under-studied area of space and leisure. Here space and place are linked in the over-arching framework of landscape, where the first two are sometimes disconnected and incompatible and other times well-linked in notable harmony. Today's spatial landscape is protean, a product of the contemporary world of rapid change occurring over vast geographic areas. These chapters look into the uncertainties, complexities, and disturbances of the modern landscape to produce a major advance in nonessentialist thinking about space-related leisure." - Professor Robert Stebbins, University of Calgary, Canada

Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. Discourse and Power in Outdoor Recreation * 3. Humans and Nature * 4. Tracing and Haunting Humans and/in Nature * 5. The Nature of Paradoxes/The Natural Paradox * 6. Paradoxical Outdoor Recreation * 7. Conclusion

Football’s Dark Side: Corruption, Homophobia, Violence and Racism in the Beautiful Game Ellis Cashmore, Staffordshire University, UK, Jamie Cleland, Loughborough University, UK "Amid widespread contemporary expressions of positivity regarding football's assumed social value, one might be forgiven for thinking that the game's deleterious aspects are being consigned to history. Football's Dark Side provides a critical and timely rejoinder, demonstrating that beyond the glamour and spectacle an array of serious problems and exclusions endure." – Daniel Burdsey, School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, UK Association football is the richest, most popular sport in history with a multicultural global following. It is also riven with corruption, racism, homophobia and a violence that has for decades resisted all attempts to tame it. Cashmore and Cleland examine football's dark side: the unpleasant, sleazy and downright nasty aspects of the sport. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. Corruption * 3. Homophobia * 4. Violence * 5.

The politics of sport have accompanied the processes of urbanization and modernization, and shaped national, gendered, and class identities in Latin America since late nineteenth century.

Running across Europe

An Ethnography

The Rise and Size of one of the Largest Sport Markets

Iain Lindsay, Brunel University, UK "Cities bidding for the Olympic Games now routinely spend as much time addressing issues of long-term legacy as to plans for the sports competitions. In this pioneering text, Iain Lindsay presents a wealth of ethnographic data to show how the seven-year preparations for London 2012 fared in light of the original claims. It is required reading for anyone interested in the realities of planning for the world's most significant sporting and cultural mega-event." John Gold, Professor of Urban Historical Geography, Oxford Brookes University, UK The quadrennial summer Olympic Games produces the world's biggest single-city cultural event. Drawing on ethnographic work around the London 2012 Games, this book contrasts the rhetoric and reality of mega-event delivery and shows that the notions of beneficial Olympic legacies and delivery benefits for host communities are, for most, unobtainable.

Theatricality, Dark Tourism and Ethical Spectatorship Absent Others Emma Willis, University of Auckland, New Zealand "Emma Willis's worthy project, Theatricality, Dark Tourism and Ethical Spectatorship, places works for the theatre in dialogue with place-based memorials. Willis offers us practice-centered analysis for diverse objects of study. Following Willis as she takes on the challenges of these ethical/aesthetic encounters, readers will appreciate the book's ethorough research, sound argumentation, and elegant prose. An ambitious project effectively realized, this is insightful scholarship about a timely subject." Laurie Beth Clark, University of Wisconsin, USA Works of theatre that depict grievous histories derive their force from making audible voices of the past.

CONSUMPTION The Science of Beauty

CONSUMPTION

Food Culture, Consumption and Society

Culture and Cosmetics in Modern Germany, 1750–1930

Paolo Corvo, University of Gastronomic Sciences, Italy

Annelie Ramsbrock, Contemporary Historical Research in Potsdam, Germany

This book analyses how consumer food choices have undergone profound changes in the context of the economic crisis, including the rediscovery of local products and the diffusion of multi-ethnic food. Corvo argues that a new ecological relationship between food and the environment is needed to reduce food problems such as food waste and obesity.

Covering a wide swath of German history from the Enlightenment to National Socialism, this book shows that ideals of beauty have always been closely related to a society's conception of itself, from organ transplants to the manufacture of cosmetics. At the same time, body modification has also presented new ways to subvert the social order.

[...] A major contribution to understanding the contradictions of neo-liberal welfare policies." - Fiona Williams, University of Leeds, UK

Edited by Eran Fisher, Open University of Israel, Christian Fuchs, University of Westminster, UK This volume explores current interventions into the digital labour theory of value, proposing theoretical and empirical work that contributes to our understanding of Marx's labour theory of value, proposes how labour and value are transformed under conditions of virtuality, and employ the theory in order to shed light on specific practices.

Rethinking Unemployment and the Work Ethic Beyond the 'Quasi-Titmuss' Paradigm Andrew Dunn, University of Lincoln, UK "Andrew Dunn has written the deepest inquiry I know of into unemployment in Britain. He makes clear that a life on benefits isn't just forced on people by conditions; it also reflects claimants' attitudes and choices, which vary widely. Many still view work as a choice that they need not make. Welfare reform was supposed to deny that choice, to stop paying aid without work. Clearly it has so far failed to deliver."

WORK AND ORGANIZATIONS Crisis at Work

Paid Work Beyond Pension Age

Identity and the End of Career

Comparative Perspectives

Jesse Potter, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK "What does it mean to 'have a career' when our working lives are becoming increasingly uncertain? As Jesse Potter persuasively argues, the 'crisis at work' throws up far-reaching questions about personal identity and selfhood. Work and biography are richly interwoven even – or perhaps especially – when our jobs are subjected to instability and change. What emerges here is an understanding of selfhood as a painstakingly crafted balance between material advancement and personal fulfi lment. This is a remarkable, insightful, and thought-provoking book." — Nigel Dodd, Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics, UK Crisis at Work examines the impact work, as a precarious entity, has on the intimate and intrapersonal lives of individuals. It examines how we negotiate our identities, the trade-offs we make, and how we achieve greater meaning and fulfilment when our productive lives fail to sustain and fulfil. Contents: 1.

Rethinking Gender, Work and Care in a New Europe Theorising Markets and Societies in the Post-Postsocialist Era Edited by Triin Roosalu, Tallinn University, Estonia, Dirk Hofäcker, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany "A quarter-century after the 'transition' from socialism to capitalism in Eastern Europe, the dynamics of gender relations at work and in the home remain deeply marked by the region's unique history, as well as the effects of integration into the global capitalist system. This rich panorama of case studies brings together original work by an impressive group of scholars, deploying multiple methodologies. The chapters carefully excavate the variations in gender, work and family among and within Eastern European countries, while also highlighting broader trends in the region as a whole. This book is a major contribution to the literature on this vitally important topic." - Ruth Milkman, CUNY Graduate Center, USA This edited collection scrutinises pivotal aspects of women's careers in Eastern Europe, focusing on the foundations of women's employment and its prospects. It deals in particular with whether 'standard' theoretical approaches, mostly modelled on evidence from Western Europe, can be transferred to the analysis of Eastern European countries.

SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION The Global Future of Higher Education and the Academic Profession

SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION

The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom

The BRICs and the United States

Three Necessary Arguments

Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University, USA, Jennifer Ruth, Portland State University, USA "Finally, a book that defends the humanities not with violins but rather by linking them to the status of contingent labor in the academy, and what the deplorable state of both means for all of us. The Humanities, Higher Education and Academic Freedom is an important intervention that spotlights the most salient defense of tenure for our times. Bérubé and Ruth center on the forgotten side of academic freedom, namely governance. This is a bracing and necessary book that should be mandatory reading for all department chairs—and everyone else who teaches college." — Leonard Cassuto, Professor of English, Fordham University, and columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education

This book is a lively, passionate defence of contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond that, of the university system that makes such work possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour, and its proposals for reform of the tenure system, are novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.

Edited by Philip G. Altbach, Boston College, USA, Gregory Androushchak, Higher School of Economics, Russia, Yaroslav Kuzminov, Higher School of Economics, Russia, Maria Yudkevich, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia, Liz Reisberg, Reisberg & Associates, USA "Policymakers and ... those interested in global issues in higher education, including scholars in international and comparative higher education, will find a wealth of interesting facts and comparisons in this volume." - Higher Education Now in paperback, this is the first book to critically analyze the future of higher education systems in the four BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China and the USA, analyzing academic salaries, contracts and working conditions and how national policy will affect the academic profession in each context.

Başak Bilecen, Bielefeld University, Germany "International student mobility is a phenomenon of ever growing importance. This new contribution by Bilecen makes a valuable extension to our understanding of how international students are part of transnational networks. The sharp focus of this volume on the significance of transnational friendships by doctoral students will be of especial interest to sociologists and geographers as they seek to extend their understanding of the significance of spatial and social proximity in the lived experience of international students." - Allan Findlay, University of St Andrews, Scotland Friends play a crucial role in international students' lives. This book explores the characteristics of the friendship networks of international doctoral students by analysing the relationships between these students and their friends, both in the country of education and across several national borders.

SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION Parents of Children with Autism

International Students and Crime

An Ethnography Juliette de Wolfe, Arlington Public Schools, Arlington, Virginia, USA "A poignant, informative, and deeply thoughtprovoking study of parents as 'autism warriors'. Unlike those who have gone before her, de Wolfe shifts our focus away from families and organizations with ample resources. She looks at working-class parents who must fight for their kids' needs in contexts framed by limited resources and a lack of specialized, day-to-day help. This is a study of grassroots organizing from the ground up, a must read not only for other parents but for professionals, family members, and neighbors as a means to learn how autism parenting is inescapably a twenty-four-seven job, one performed with perseverance, determination, and dignity." - Lesley A. Sharp, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College, USA; Senior Research Scientist in Sociomedical Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, USA In a readable and highly accessible ethnographic account that is shaped by the stories of families and the voices of parents, De Wolfe examines how parents of children with autism navigate the educational and medical systems, understand their own and their children’s bodies, and support and educate one another.

From School Ground to Battle Ground Brooke Johnson, Northeastern Illinois University, USA "Johnson deftly untangles the ties that bind the market, the military, the state, and public education in this sensitive and compelling study of a military charter school. It's risky to responsibly investigate the relationships between the commanding institutions in the US as they work on and through a school, its staff, and students. Yet, Johnson takes that risk with courage, providing insight on the challenges that privatization and militarization pose to a democratic society. Sensitive to parents' and students' motivations for choosing a military charter school, Johnson's study subtly raises questions about the powerful's stakes in creating such choices. This is a must-read for educators, policymakers, and parents alike." - Christopher G. Robbins, Associate Professor of Social Foundations, Eastern Michigan University, USA Taking military charter schools as her subject, and drawing on years of research at one school in particular, Brooke Johnson explores the underpinings of a culture based on militarization and neoliberal educational reforms and probes its effects on individual identity and social interactions at the school.

SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION Equality, Citizenship, and Segregation A Defense of Separation

Now available in paperback

The School Choice Journey School Vouchers and the Empowerment of Urban Families

Michael S. Merry, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands "This book represents a highly original contribution to one of the most incendiary debates on education in our times, the voluntary separation of 'stigmatized groups' versus their compulsory 'integration' within pluralist liberal democracies. Supported and sustained by both extensive empirical evidence and context-sensitive moral theory, Merry impugns integration on the one hand as a liberal-democratic requirement and as an effective – or even desirable – policy on the other. His argument shows that whatever may be true for 'ideal worlds', imposed mixing in the real world often is morally indefensible and socially and politically counterproductive. A truly multidisciplinary approach combining moral philosophy, political theory, social science (particularly sociology and social psychology) and educational policy, Equality, Citizenship, and Segregation persuasively challenges the persistent myth of integration and shows why separation may be a more fruitful strategy, particularly for some of society's more vulnerable members. I highly recommend it." - Veit Bader, Professor Emeritus, Sociology and Political Theory, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Merry argues that most voluntary separation experiments in education are not driven by a sense of racial, cultural or religious superiority. Rather, they are driven among other things by a desire for quality education, not to mention community membership and self respect.

Thomas Stewart, Patten University, USA, Patrick J. Wolf, University of Arkansas, USA, Joe Lieberman, United States Senate "The School Choice Journey illuminates how wellcrafted policies and practices can help urban families secure valuable education opportunities for their children. This is a must-read for anyone interested in improving the academic outcomes for urban children." – Rod Paige, Former US Secretary of Education This in-depth chronicle of 110 families in Washington, DC's Opportunity Scholarship Program provides a realistic look at how urban families experience the process of using school choice vouchers and transform from government clients to consumers of education and active citizens.

Science and Sustainability Learning from Indigenous Wisdom Joy Hendry, Oxford Brookes University, UK "Science and Sustainability offers hope for the planet. Hendry argues that the traditions of the world's indigeneous peoples can help us to tackle the many global problems that face us and help to build a sustainable world." - David Peat, Director of the Pari Center for New Learning, Italy and author of Blackfoot Physics Indigenous peoples have passed down vital knowledge for generations from which local plants help cure common ailments, to which parts of the land are unsuitable for buildings because of earthquakes. Here, Hendry examines science through these indigenous roots, problematizing the idea that Western science is the only type that deserves that name. Contents: Introduction * 1.

ENVIRONMENT, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY A Non-Philosophical Theory of Nature

Now available in paperback

Ecologies of Thought Anthony Paul Smith, Religion Department, La Salle University, USA "Ecology is often the object of overly simple and inadequate philosophies; the revision of our naturalist and philosophical concepts should, however, go together. This is the aim of Anthony Paul Smith's investigation which makes use of the 'non-philosophical' hypothesis so as to bring these new relations between nature and thought up to date. A great book that masterfully takes these problems head on, theology among them, and renews the analysis and significance of ecology." François Laruelle, Professor Emeritus, Contemporary Philosophy, University of Paris X: Ouest-Nanterre-La Défense, France Utilizing François Laruelle's ‘non-philosophical’ method, Smith constructs a unified theory of philosophical theology and ecology by challenging environmental philosophy and theology, claiming that and engagement with scientific ecology can radically change the standard metaphysics of nature, as well as ethical problems related to ‘the natural’.

ENVIRONMENT, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Freedom in the Anthropocene

BioSocieties

Twentieth-Century Helplessness in the Face of Climate Change

An Interdisciplinary Journal for the Social Studies of Life Sciences

Alexander M. Stoner, Salisbury University, USA, Andony Melathopoulos, Dalhousie University, Canada "Freedom in the Anthropocene is a very sharply perceptive book. The authors' clear and wellconstructed argument provides just what a contemporary critical theory should. Their fresh way of understanding the Anthropocene should be read by anyone interested in opposing the juggernaut of the Great Acceleration, and particularly those who think that 'environmentalism' is sufficient to that task." - Andrew Biro, Acadia University, Canada, author of Denaturalizing Ecological Politics (2005) and editor of Critical Ecologies: The Frankfurt School and Contemporary Environmental Crises (2011) Freedom in the Anthropocene illuminates the Anthropocene from the perspective of critical theory. The authors contextualize our current ecological predicament by focusing on the issues of history and freedom and how they relate to our present inability to render environmental threats and degradation recognizable and surmountable.

Edited by Nikolas Rose, Kings College, London, UK, Illina Singh, Kings College, London, UK, Catherine Waldby, University of Sydney, Australia, Adele Clarke, Committed to the scholarly exploration of the social, ethical and policy implications of developments in the life sciences and biomedicine, Biosocieties provides a crucial forum where the most rigorous social research and critical analysis of these issues can intersect with the work of leading scientists, social researchers and other stakeholders.

What do the middle classes do to these cities and what do these cities do to the middle classes? Do the middle classes engage in social mix or are they focused on 'people like us'? Based on comparative study this book explores middle-class identities across Paris and London.

The author examines the two most advanced eco-city projects: the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China, and Masdar City in Abu Dhabi. These are the most notable attempts at building new eco-cities to both face up to the 'crises' of the modern world and to use the city as an engine for transition to a low-carbon economy.

An Interdisciplinary Approach

Crime, Disorder and Symbolic Violence Governing the Urban Periphery Matt Bowden, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland "Matthew Bowden's book Crime, Disorder and Symbolic Violence represents a theoretically innovative, research-based contribution to the nascent body of sociological work on plural policing and the often hybrid forms of governing the urban periphery and in particular of young people in these supposed 'neo-liberal' times. Drawing on both Bourdieuian theoretical insights and a broadly realist conceptual framing, Bowden offers a compelling case study of Dublin's own 'urban periphery' and its contested youth governance. The book adds to the growing reputation of critical criminological scholarship in Ireland. The analysis presented and its broader policy and policy implications will also interest and engage advanced students and researchers throughout the international field of sociological criminology." - Professor Gordon Hughes, Chair in Criminology, Cardiff University This timely book provides a theoretical and empirical engagement with contemporary understandings of the governance of crime, safety and security. Using a Bourdieuian framework, Bowden explores concepts such as capital, habitus and symbolic power to present an analytic tool-kit for a critically engaged public criminology.

Benjamin Fraser, East Carolina University, USA "With convincing arguments and useful detail, Benjamin Fraser's important new book maps out the terrain of an urban cultural studies. Engaging with core questions of cultural value, textuality, and the role of the humanities, Toward an Urban Cultural Studies skillfully moves in and out of the work of Henri Lefebvre, situating this work in relation to other key currents in cultural theory and analysis. While the theoretical arguments here are effective, Fraser also delivers the analytic goods, in effective case studies that show us how an urban cultural studies might renew the study of literature, cinema and music. I expect the influence of this book to be enduring and far-reaching." - Will Straw, Professor, Art History and Communications Studies, McGill University, Canada Toward an Urban Cultural Studies is a call for a new interdisciplinary area of research and teaching. Blending Urban Studies and Cultural Studies, this book grounds readers in the extensive theory of the prolific French philosopher Henri Lefebvre.

URBAN AND RURAL STUDIES Rural Cooperation in Europe

The City in Urban Poverty

In Search of the 'Relational Rurals'

Edited by Charlotte Lemanski, University of Cambridge, UK, Colin Marx, University College London, UK

Edited by Edward Kasabov, University of Exeter, UK

The contributors respond to the absence of critical debate surrounding the ways in which spaces of the city do not merely contain, but also constitute, urban poverty. The volume explores how the spaces of the city actively produce and reproduce urban poverty.

This collection analyses various European rural locations through a relational lens, attending to key aspects and dimensions of the 'relational rurals' such as cooperation, contestation, solidarity and consensus. By observing rural settings in such terms, contributors are able to rethink European rurality from a distinctly relational perspective.

URBAN AND RURAL STUDIES Social Urbanism and the Politics of Violence

Happiness and Place

The Medellín Miracle

Why Life is Better Outside of the City Kate Maclean, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

Adam Okulicz-Kozaryn, Rutgers University– Camden, USA

Medellín, Colombia, used to be the most violent city on earth, but in recent years, allegedly thanks to its 'social urbanism' approach to regeneration, it has experienced a sharp decline in violence. The author explores the politics behind this decline and the complex transformations in terms of urban development policies in Medellín.

This book is about places - cities, suburbs and towns - and happiness of people living there. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Okulicz-Kozaryn examines the relations between human happiness and the infrastructure of the places they live. This thoughtprovoking book argues for the overlooked idea that we are happiest in smaller areas.

Mobilities and Neighbourhood Belonging in Cities and Suburbs

Port Cities and Global Legacies Urban Identity, Waterfront Work, and Radicalism Alice Mah, University of Warwick, UK "What becomes of once-preeminent world harbors when a new global age relegates them to the minor leagues of seaports? In this rich and imaginative joining of Liverpool, Marseille, and New Orleans, two mere shadows of their former glories, a third a troubled giant, Alice Mah ranges across waterfront developments, museum projects, crime stories, and traditions of radical action to capture their quest for a return to greatness amidst the need to confront a conflicted past and a dubious future." - Michael B. Miller, Professor of History, University of Miami, USA Port cities have distinctive global dynamics, with long histories of casual labour, large migrant communities, and international trade networks. This in-depth comparative study examines contradictory global legacies across themes of urban identity, waterfront work and radicalism in key post-industrial port cities worldwide.

Edited by Paul Watt, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, Peer Smets, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Contemporary city and suburban dwellers are constantly on the move. Does this mean they lack a sense of belonging to their neighbourhoods, or does enhanced mobility co-exist with feelings of community and belonging? This collection examines these questions through a unique series of neighbourhoodbased global case studies.

ANTHROPOLOGY

Children, Social Class, and Education

Struggling over Dilemmas in China's Southwest Frontier

Shifting Identities in Fiji Karen J. Brison, Union College, USA "Subtle, textured, and highly readable, Children, Social Class, and Education provides a thought-provoking ethnographic exploration of kindergartens in Fiji. Brison's comparative account makes it clear that social class - and the assumptions and aspirations with which it is entangled - plays a key role in shaping how different preschools engage with children. Kindergartens are central and consequential sites for children's identity formation and they work, as Brison demonstrates, in complex and surprising ways." - Don Brenneis, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA Class-based self-perception is a rising issue worldwide. Through observation in kindergartens in Fiji, Brison examines how schools instil these ideas in Suva children. Teachers have different goals depending on the social background of the families while students create friendships through shared experience of toys, gender roles, and mass media. Contents: 1.

Cultural Wounding, Healing, and Emerging Ethnicities Amanda Kearney, University of New South Wales, Australia "Amanda Kearney brings intelligence, theoretical sophistication, and an acute perception to bear on things that matter deeply to people as they negotiate the routines and the rituals of life-worlds dominated by centuries of ongoing exploitation. As she pushes the bounds of theory, she does justice to the mundane priorities of 'getting by.' Her deft ethnographic snapshots resound with the moral pulse of the everyday, memorably depicting the cultural dynamics of survival in action." - Patrick Wolfe, author of Traces of History: Elementary Structures of Race Today, there is new appeal in the analysis of ethnicity, not merely as innate and fixed identities or fragmented and lost identities, but rather as wounded and then creatively reclaimed. Kearney discusses international examples of cultural wounding and healing and presents two close readings of emerging ethnicities in Australia and Brazil. Contents: Introduction * 1.

In addition to scholars of Christianity, anthropologists of Europe, and those interested in the globalization of religion generally, this book could make a good pairing with other works on religious life taking different theoretical turns and engaging distinct ethnographic settings . . .
