The Architecture Chronicle
Diary of an Architectural Practice
Jan Kattein, University College London, UK
DESIGN RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE
During the last 30 years, technological, social, economic
and environmental changes have brought about the most
dramatic evolution to architectural practice that has taken
place since the profession emerged during the Italian
Renaissance. Whilst these changes have transformed the
way architects work, few contemporary books discuss
architectural practice. The Architecture Chronicle sets out
to dene the role of the contemporary architect in the light
of these changes. It also engages with the design and
production process and investigates how design decisions
are being made and by whom they are executed.

Age of Uncertainty
Edited by Benjamin Flowers,
Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
ASHGATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE
After two decades which saw the construction industry
ourish, has come a sudden period of instability, where
architecture rms have been jettisoning employees at an
unprecedented rate as building projects dry up. This edited
volume brings together scholars, critics, and architects
to discuss the present state of uncertainty in the practice
and discipline of architecture. The chapters are organized
into three main areas of inquiry: economics, practice, and
technology. Within this larger framework, authors explore
issues of security, ecological design, disaster architecture,
the future of architectural practice, and the ethical
obligations of the social practice of design.

Charles Robert Cockerell,
Architect in Time
Reections around Anachronistic Drawings
Anne Bordeleau, University of Waterloo, Canada
Focusing on how an important nineteenth-century
architect addressed the already shifting relation between
architecture, time and history, this book offers insights on
issues still relevant today-the struggle between imitation
and innovation, the denition (or rejection) of aesthetic
experience, the grounds of architectural judgment (who
decides and how), or fundamentally, how to act (i.e.
build) when there is no longer a single grand narrative
but a plurality of possible histories. Six drawings provide
the foundation of an itinerary through Charles Robert
Cockerells conception of architecture, and into the depths
of drawings and buildings.

Ornament and Order
Grafti, Street Art and the Parergon
Rafael Schacter, University College London, UK
Based on an in-depth ethnographic study working with
some of the worlds most inuential Independent Public
Artists, this book takes a completely new approach. Placing
these illicit aesthetic practices within a broader historical,
political, and aesthetic context, it argues that they are in
fact both intrinsically ornamental (working within a classic
architectonic framework), as well as innately ordered (within
a highly ritualised, performative structure). Rather than
disharmonic, destructive forms, rather than ones solely
working within the dynamics of the market, these insurgent
images are seen to reface rather than deface the city,
operating within a modality of contemporary civic ritual.

Raw: Architectural Engagements
with Nature
Edited by Solveig Be, Hege Charlotte Faber and
Brit Strandhagen, Norwegian University of Science
and Technology, Norway

architecture, however, nature emerges with a particular
power and clarity, which makes architecture a raw kind of
art. Thus, by using the concept of raw as a focal point, this
book provides new approaches to architecture in a broad
sense, as well as other aesthetic and artistic practices, and
will be of interest to readers from different elds of the arts
and humanities, spanning from philosophy and theology to
history of art, architecture and music.

Reading the Architecture of
the Underprivileged Classes
Edited by Nnamdi Elleh, University of Cincinnati, USA
This book not only shows how architects can learn from
traditional or vernacular dwellings in order to create
habitations for the people of low-income groups in public
housing scenarios, but also demonstrates how the
architecture of the economically underprivileged classes
goes beyond culturally-inspired tectonic interpretations
of vernacular traditions by architects for high prole
clients. It explores how the resourceful dwellings of the
underprivileged inhabitants of the great cities in developing
parts of the world pioneered certain concepts of modernism
and contemporary design practices such as sustainable and
de-constructivist design.

Shoah Presence: Architectural
Representations of the
Holocaust
Eran Neuman, Tel Aviv University, Israel
Focusing on the Ghetto Fighters House, the worlds rst
Holocaust museum; Yad Vashem, Israels national Holocaust
memorial in Jerusalem; the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
in Washington, and the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, the book
discusses how the representation of history by architecture
creates a dialectic process in which architecture mediates the
past to the present, while at the same time creating a present
saturated with historical contexts. It shows how, together, they
are incorporated into one another and create a new reality: past
and present intertwined.

Suspending Modernity:
The Architecture of Franco Albini
Kay Bea Jones, Ohio State University, USA
Kay Bea Jones illuminating study of selected works by
Studio Albini will reintroduce his contributions to one of
the most productive periods in Italian design. Suspending
Modernity follows the evolution of Albinis most important
buildings and projects, even as they reveal his apprehensive
attitudes about the modern condition. Albini claried
the vital role of tradition in modern architecture as he
experimented with domestic space. His cohort deed CIAM
ideologies to re-socialize postwar housing and speculate on
ways of reviving Italian cities. Jones argues here that Albinis
masterful use of materials and architectural expression
mark an epic paradigm shift in the modern period.

and Susan H. Libby, Rollins College, USA
Compelling and troubling, colourful and dark, black
gures served as the quintessential image of difference in
nineteenth-century European art. This collection marks a
phase in the scholarship on images of blacks that moves
beyond undifferentiated binaries like negative and
positive that fail to reveal complexities, contradictions and
ambiguities.

Body in European Art, 13001650
Edited by John R. Decker, Georgia State University, USA

Bodies mangled, limbs broken, skin ayed, blood spilled:
the art of the late medieval and early modern periods
contains myriad examples of spectacular unmaking. The
martyrdoms of saints, stories of justice, and reports of the
atrocities of war provided fertile ground for scenes of bodily
desecration. Contributors to this volume explore the larger

The Expressionist Turn
in Art History
A Critical Anthology
Edited by Kimberly A. Smith, Southwestern University,
USA
STUDIES IN ART HISTORIOGRAPHY
During the period in which Expressionist artists were active
in central Europe, art historians were producing texts which
were characterized as expressionist, yet the notion of
an expressionist art history has yet to be fully explored in
historiographic studies. This anthology offers a cross-section
of noteworthy art history texts written 19121933 that have
been described as expressionist, along with commentaries
by an international group of scholars. Together they offer a
productive lens through which to re-examine the practice
and theory of early twentieth-century art history.

Hagia Sophia and the Byzantine

Nadine Schibille, University of Sussex, UK
Paramount in the shaping of early Byzantine identity
was the construction of the church of Hagia Sophia in
Constantinople (532537 CE). This book examines the edice
from the perspective of aesthetics to dene the concept of
beauty and the meaning of art in early Byzantium. Byzantine
aesthetic thought is re-evaluated against late antique
Neoplatonism and the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius that
offer fundamental paradigms for the late antique attitude
towards art and beauty.

Iron, Ornament and Architecture
in Victorian Britain
Myth and Modernity, Excess and
Enchantment
Paul Dobraszczyk, University of Manchester, UK
In the half century after the building of the Crystal Palace
(1851), some architects, engineers, manufacturers and
theorists believed that the fusion of iron and ornament
would reconcile art and technology and create a new,
modern architectural language. This book studies the
development of mechanised architectural ornament in
iron in nineteenth-century architecture, its reception and
theorisation, and the contexts in which it ourished. As
such, it offers new ways of understanding the notion of
modernity in Victorian architecture.

Charles H. Carman, University of Buffalo, USA
Providing a fresh evaluation of Albertis text On Painting (1435),
along with comparisons to various works of Nicholas Cusanus
this study reveals a hitherto unsuspected shared epistemology
of vision. Analyzing a range of artworks in light of Albertis
and Cusanuss ideals of vision, the author attributes a more
deeply Christian Neoplatonic ideal than is typically accorded
to Alberti, and adds a new dimension to our understanding of
theories of vision in the Italian Renaissance.

Mariette and the Science
of the Connoisseur in
Eighteenth-Century Europe
Kristel Smentek, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
USA
Celebrated connoisseur, drawings collector, print dealer,
book publisher and authority on the art of antiquity,
Pierre-Jean Mariette (16941774) was a pivotal gure in
the eighteenth-century European art world. Focusing on
the trajectory of Mariettes career, this book examines
the material practices and networks through which
connoisseurs forged the idea of art as an object of empirical
and historical analysis. Drawing on unpublished archival
material as well as on histories of science, publishing and
collecting, this book shows how Mariette and his colleagues
interpretations of graphic arts gave rise to new conceptions
of artistic authorship.

A Theory of the Tache in
Nineteenth-Century Painting
ystein Sjstad, University of Oslo, Norway
Without question, the tache (blot, patch, stain) is a central
and recurring motif in nineteenth-century modernist
painting. Manets and the Impressionists rejection of
academic nish produced a surface where the strokes of
paint were presented directly, as patches or blots, then
indirectly as legible signs. Czanne, Seurat, and Signac
painted exclusively with patches or dots. Through a series
of close readings, this book looks at the tache as one of the
most important features in nineteenth-century modernism.
The tache is a potential meeting point between text and
image and a pure trace of the artists body. Even though
each manifestation of tacheism generates its own specic
cultural effects, this book represents the rst time a scholar
has looked at tacheism as a hidden continuum within
modern art.

From the 1910s until the 1950s the Caribbean nation of
Haiti drew the attention of many U.S. literary and artistic

on Haitis history, none analyze visual representations with

matter was a highly charged decision by American artists
to use their artwork to engage racial, social, and political

Focusing on images of or produced by nineteenth-century

Attending to various iterations of the public as space, sphere
and discourse, sixteen essays challenge the false binary
construct that has held the public as the sole preserve of
prosperous men. By considering works in a range of media
by an array of canonical and understudied women artists,
they demonstrate that denitions of both femininity and the
public were mutually dening and constantly shifting.

Techniques for Reconciling Business-as-

John Brinkworth
Bridging the Business-Project Divide is a wonderfully
pragmatic book which understands that the one of the most
natural ways to connect projects and business-as-usual
activities is by identifying the needs of both, where these
diverge and, most importantly, how to bring them together.
Unfortunately, the natural side-effect of two so different
perspectives is misunderstanding, mutual incomprehension,
and despite good intentions on both sides, failure to deliver
to mutual benet. John Brinkworth tackles the subject
by examining the symptoms how do we know there is
a problem? How is it manifested?; the causes a deeper
analysis going behind the symptoms to consider the root
causes; and the solutions addressing the root causes and
how this could lead to more successful projects.

Risk, Opportunity and Governance
in a Turbulent World
Tony Bendell
Every day human organisations fail. Building Anti-Fragile
Organisations explores a powerful alternative framework for
risk in design and management of human systems. Anti-
Fragile organisations, like biological systems, being more
than robust actually improve their resilience through being
stressed. In the book, Bendell explains how its application
in development and management of organisations, services
and products, allows us to identify the characteristics that
will not only mitigate against the realisation of hazards, but
enable growth in protection, strength and anti-fragility over
time. The book identies characteristics relevant to survival
in a turbulent world, and how our approaches to risk and
governance must change to create and manage anti-fragile
organisations. It gives readers the opportunity to make sense
of applying the concepts within their own worlds.

Inclusive Organizational
Transformation
An African Perspective on Human Niches
and Diversity of Thought
Rica Viljoen
TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATION
Globalization, consumerism, legislation and human rights
issues impact on workplace demographics, changing the
very nature thereof. It is of strategic importance to ensure
that the benets of diverse viewpoints and stakeholders are
leveraged. However, the underlying worldviews of economists,
business leaders and consultants are often informed from a
Western paradigm and solutions proposed and interventions
facilitated are not integrated, integral, systemic or congruent
with the containing environment or ecology.
Rica Viljoena acknowledges that diversity of thought presents
both gifts and challenges to leadership in multi-national
organizations. The existential question with which an
individual is confronted impacts on his or her worldview.
By continuously applying a specic worldview, certain gifts
manifest. These are called Human Niches. Here, Inclusivity
is positioned as a radical transformational methodology
with the purpose of unleashing the benets of engagement
and diversity of thought. The process of Inclusivity enables
organizations to optimize the gifts of and contributions from a
diverse workforce and unleash tacit knowledge.

Industrial Poverty
Yesterday Sweden, Today Europe,
Tomorrow America
Sven R. Larson
Conventional wisdom says that Europes crisis is a nancial
crisis. But is this really the case? In Industrial Poverty,
economist Sven R. Larson, challenges this view and
suggests instead that Europe is in a state of permanent
economic decline. Using Sweden in the 1990s as an
example, he shows how a welfare-state crisis combined
with the wrong kind of austerity policies replaces prosperity
with industrial poverty. Today, Europe is going through the
same transition into industrial poverty. Tomorrow, it could be
the United States, unless Congress and the President take
decisive action against the runaway budget decit.

Integrated Assurance
Risk Governance Beyond Boundaries
Vicky Kubitscheck
Much has been written about assurance, but mainly by those
who provide it the professionals such as internal auditors,
accountants and information security technologists for the
purpose of advancing their professional practices. Less is
written for or by those in governance who need it for the
effective discharge of their responsibilities. Regulations, as
seen in the recent Walker Review, dont usually go beyond
acknowledging its importance and reliance on those in the
boardroom to get it right.
Reliable assurance, which is an integral part of corporate
governance, cannot be taken for granted; studies have
consistently shown the link between weak corporate
governance and corporate failures. It is time to rethink
assurance beyond its usual functional boundaries, to focus
on what matters to the business and how discussions in
the board room can be better supported by more joined up
assurance. This book will provide practical guidance for those
who need that support and others for providing it.

Leadership Meta-Competencies
Discovering Hidden Virtues
Dimitris Bourantas and Vasia Agapitou, both at
Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece
The meta-competencies discussed in this refreshing
book are timeless virtues of which effective leaders seem
to possess: Existential intelligence the ability to pose
questions and reect on fundamental issues in ways that
develop a mature ability to interpret the world and better
understand other people; Phronesis the ability to exercise
sound judgement based on skilful application of moral and
political rationality; Solitude a voluntary state achieved
when an individual has the ability to momentarily withdraw
and be free of external pressures and demands in order
to concentrate on desired mental-cognitive activities;
Trust building the ability to be credible, show trust in
and respect for other people and inspire trust.
For anyone wishing to consider hidden or forgotten aspects
of leadership competence this book introduces the notion of
meta-competences and deals in detail with them.

Executive Impression Management,
Beyond Red Flags

In Managerial Fraud, Terry Sheridan reports the ndings of

the particular methods fraudsters employ to appear more
authentic than the average person and reveals two types of
executive fraudster with very different behaviours. All this
helps to explain why the current Red Flag approach fails
to identify potential fraudsters and instead tends to focus
on Red Flag executives who are negative characters, but
non-fraudulent. Better understanding of what Sheridan
has uncovered might result in organisations being able to
reduce their exposure to fraud perpetrated by their own
senior management.

Multipreneurship
Diversication in Times of Crisis
Nicholas Harkiolakis, Brunel University, UK
In Multipreneurship, Nick Harkiolakis argues against the
more commonly held view that diversication at the level
of the individual entrepreneur, rather than that of the
established corporation, is the wrong business strategy to
pursue in times of economic crisis. The book illuminates the
multipreneurship or parallel diversication perspective
by presenting cases from around the world to highlight
the success factors attending diversication and the
personal and professional entrepreneurial attributes that
lead to successful and sustainable ventures. In so doing,
Harkiolakis provides a framework for diversication as a
means of achieving sustainable development.

This is a book about the role of knowledge in social and

Natural Resource starts with the argument that knowledge is
inherently a social phenomenon. This allows us to discuss the
relation between individual opinions and what is regarded as
knowledge. It also allows us to see how economic and political
and democratic processes are interrelated.

is appropriate in our decision-making. It recognises that
performance ultimately rests on human knowledge, resolve,
skill and collaboration.

Team Leadership in
High Hazard Environments
Performance, Safety and Risk Management
Strategies for Operational Teams
Randy E. Cadieux
Safety performance is a complicated issue, particularly
in high-hazard environments, where time and other
constraints, as well as impacts can be exaggerated. From
an organizational and business perspective, safety and
production/performance are often seen as competing goals.
When production is increased, safety defenses and barriers
frequently decrease, and when programs are developed in
an effort to improve safety, employees may not be able to
meet production goals within the safety constraints.
Team Leadership in High Hazard Environments recognises
these difculties and proposes an approach to safety
leadership in which safety and organizational performance
are inextricably linked one that addresses safety from both
the systems and human factors perspectives. To that end,
Randy Cadieux introduces the nine essential components
to team leadership. By studying these areas and using
the information in each chapter, organizational leaders,
managers, and supervisors will gain an understanding
of key factors that will help them design, develop, and
implement team training programs that improve the way
employees work together and the way they mitigate hazards.
Additionally, the book describes how work systems and work
environments may be designed or shaped so that teams are
placed in a position to do their optimal work, maximizing the
potential for human and team performance.

application and knowledge of related time series adjustment
procedures is essential in areas such as risk management,
business cycle analysis, and forecasting. The case studies in
this book demonstrate that time series adjustment methods
can be efcaciously applied and utilized, for both analysis and
forecasting, but they must be used in the context of reasoned
statistical and economic judgment this is the rst known
published study to really deal with this issue of context.

Towards Organizational Fitness
A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment
Gerry Randell, Bradford University, UK and John Toplis
Towards Organizational Fitness is about the people who
work in organizations and addresses two main issues:
rstly, how to investigate and manage problems involving
people at work; secondly, how to assess and develop the
capability and tness of an organization. The message
is clear; organizations should not proceed to change
any of their policies, procedures, processes or practices
until a systematic thorough diagnosis of the root cause
underpinning the need to change has taken place. The book
provides managers with a conceptual and practical guide for
achieving this.

EPC Contracts, Volume 2
Annotated Sample Contract Forms
Howard M. Steinberg
Any project which involves an EPC contract is also likely
to involve a number of other complicated contracts. The
challenge of the parties to an EPC contract is not to try to
eliminate risk but rather put into place a narrative structure
that enables the parties to predict the contractual result
that would obtain if a risk materializes. If the EPC contract
does not allow the parties to determine the consequences
of an unanticipated situation, they will have to look to an
expert, mediator, tribunal, or court to impart guidance or
pass judgment.

ST ANDREWS STUDIES IN REFORMATION HISTORY
With the exception of John Knox, no one did more to
shape the Scottish Reformation than Andrew Melville.
Remembered chiey as a rebrand defender of radical
Presbyterianism and reformer of the Scottish university
system, his broader contributions to the cultural
development of early modern Scotland his poetry and
prose have largely been marginalised in subsequent
historiography. Yet, as this collection shows, Melvillle was
much more than simply a parochial reformer rather he was
an inuential member of a pan-European humanist network.

Heterodox Religious Identities in Britain,

In the seventeenth and eighteenth century the terms
atheism and deism involved ne distinctions that have
not always been preserved by later scholars. The original

British Pirates and Society,
16801730
Margarette Lincoln, National Maritime Museum, London
Pirates contributed to the British understanding of
trans-oceanic navigation, patterns of trade and remote
communities. This knowledge advanced imperial expansion,
which helps to explain why contemporary attitudes
towards piracy were ambivalent. This book, an engaging
study of vested interests and conicting ideologies, shows
how pirates were portrayed in trial reports, novels, legal
documents, sermons, ballads and newspapers. It throws
light on contemporary ideals of leadership and masculinity,
gives insight into the domestic life of pirates, and offers
comparisons with our experience of piracy today.

Counter Reformation as an evangelical enterprise; analyses
its communication strategies; and illuminates how Catholic
ritual life adapted itself to a climate of repression.

Coping with Crisis: The
Resilience and Vulnerability of
Pre-Industrial Settlements
Daniel R. Curtis, Utrecht University, Netherlands
RURAL WORLDS: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
HISTORIES OF AGRICULTURES AND RURAL SOCIETIES
All pre-industrial societies had to face certain challenges:
earthquakes, plague, warfare, soil erosion and subsistence
crises. However, while some settlements were stable over
the long term, other settlements proved more vulnerable
to crisis. This book has been stimulated by the hypotheses
put forward by a recent disaster studies literature, which
suggests that vulnerability of habitation is less to do with the
crises themselves, but on endogenous societal responses.
By testing the explanatory framework on several societies
between the Middle Ages and nineteenth-century Europe, it
is argued that the most resilient habitations were those that
displayed an equitable distribution of property and power.

numismatics and economic, social, political and military
history. There is a great need for more historical sources of
the Crusades narrative, homiletic and documentary to be
made available in trustworthy editions. Therefore, editorial
preference is given here to the publication of texts in both
European and oriental languages, although interpretative
material is welcomed, too. Ashgate publishes this journal for
The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East,
and it incorporates the Societys Bulletin.

Medieval Denmark and Scandinavia have often been seen
as cultural backwaters that passively and belatedly received
cultural and political impulses from Western Europe.
However, Michael H. Gelting and scholars inspired by him
have shown that the intellectual, religious and political elite
of Denmark actively participated in the renaissance and
reformation of the medieval period. This anthology brings
the latest research in Danish medieval history to a wider
audience and integrates it with contemporary international
discussions of the making of the European Middle Ages.

Early Modern Jesuits between
Obedience and Conscience
during the Generalate of Claudio
Acquaviva (15811615)
Silvia Mostaccio, Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium
The Society of Jesus was founded on a principal of strict
obedience to papal authority, yet the turbulent political
circumstances in which they operated inevitably brought
them into conict with the Catholic hierarchy. In order
to better understand and contextualise the concept of
obedience from a theological and practical perspective, this
book examines the Jesuits of south-western Europe during
the thirty-year generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (15811615),
a challenging time for the Jesuits, during which their very
system of government was called into doubt.

The Emblem in Early Modern
Europe
Contributions to the Theory of the Emblem
Peter M. Daly, McGill University, Canada
The emblem was big business in early-modern Europe,
used extensively not only in printed books and broadsheets,
but also to decorate pottery, metalware, furniture, glass
and windows and numerous other domestic, devotional
and political objects. At its most basic level simply a
combination of symbolic visual image and texts, an emblem
is a hybrid composed of words and picture. However, as this
book demonstrates, understanding the precise and often
multiple meaning, intention and message that emblems
conveyed can prove a remarkably slippery process.

Friendship in Medieval Iberia
Historical, Legal and Literary Perspectives
Antonella Liuzzo Scorpo, University of Lincoln, UK
This book contributes to the study of the history of emotions
and cultural histories of the Middle Ages, while also adding
another crucial piece to the broader historiographical
debate currently challenging the most traditional view of the
Iberian Peninsulas exceptionalism. This interdisciplinary
study considers whether Iberia should be rather considered
as a peripheral, but still vital, ring in a chain which linked
it to the rest of Europe, while occupying a central role in
the historical and cultural developments of the Western
Mediterranean.

Germans as Minorities during
the First World War
A Global Comparative Perspective
Edited by Panikos Panayi, De Montfort University, UK
Offering a global comparative perspective on the relationship
between German minorities and the majority populations
amongst which they found themselves during the First World
War, this collection addresses how public opinion (the press,
parliament and ordinary citizens) reacted towards Germans
in their midst. The volume uses the experience of Germans to
explore whether the War can be regarded as a turning point in
the mistreatment of minorities, one that would lead to worse
manifestations of racism, nationalism and xenophobia later in
the twentieth century.

An Historian in Peace and War
The Diaries of Harold Temperley
Edited by T.G. Otte, University of East Anglia, UK
ASHGATE STUDIES IN FIRST WORLD WAR HISTORY
This volume provides the fully edited and annotated diaries
of the scholar, soldier and diplomat Harold Temperley
(18791939), covering his travels in the Balkans, his work
for British military intelligence during the First World War,
and his role in the Versailles peace conference. As a trained
historian, he was aware of the importance of recording
events as they unfolded, and regarded his diary as a means
of preserving a non-ofcial record. As such, this edition of
Temperleys diaries offers scholars a direct and hitherto
neglected perspective on some of the most important events
that shaped twentieth-century Europe.

The Histories of a Medieval
German City, Worms
c. 1000 c. 1300
Translation and Commentary
Translated by David S. Bachrach, University of
New Hampshire, USA
The history of medieval Germany, particularly that of the
lower social orders, has thus far remained largely unknown
outside of the German-speaking regions of modern Europe.
The translation of the four texts in this volume, which
focus on the city of Worms in the period c.1000 to c.1300, is
intended to help ll these lacunae. The history of Worms,
as told in these sources, can be understood as illuminating
the broader urban, ecclesiastical and political history of the
German kingdom at the height of its power.

Innovation and Creativity
in Late Medieval and Early
Modern European Cities
Edited by Karel Davids, VU University Amsterdam,
The Netherlands, and Bert De Munck, University of
Antwerp, Belgium
Late medieval and early modern cities are often depicted
as cradles of artistic creativity and hotbeds of new material
culture. Cities in Renaissance Italy and in seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century north-western Europe are the most
obvious cases in point. But, how did this come about?
Contributors to this volume set out to analyze whether, in
what context and why regulation or deregulation inuenced
innovation and creativity in late medieval and early modern
cities, and what the impact was of long-term changes in the
political and economic sphere.

Little Red Scares
Anti-Communism and Political Repression in
the United States, 19211946
Edited by Robert Justin Goldstein, University of
Michigan, USA
Anti-communism has long been a potent force in American
politics, capable of gripping both government and popular
attention. Nowhere is this more evident that the two great
red scares of 191920 and 194654; the latter generally
if somewhat inaccurately termed McCarthyism. By
focusing on the interim period between the two major red
scares, this volume makes clear that the lingering effects
of 191920 and the gathering storm-clouds of McCarthyism
were clearly visible throughout the 20s and 30s. In so
doing the rationale and motivations for the red scares
are contexualised as part of an evolving political narrative,
rather than as isolated bouts of hysteria exploding onto
and then vanishing from the political landscape.

THE NORDIC EXPERIENCE
This book explores the ways in which representative
democracy works in two neighbouring collections of
European states: the Nordic (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway and Sweden) and the Baltic (Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania). The central, guiding questions are: how does
political representation work in countries that have a lot in
common, but also a few signicant contextual dissimilarities;
and what, if any, relationships between the respective styles
of democracy can be identied? Using a variety of theories,
perspectives and methods, the empirical studies that
populate the book seek to offer reections on these questions.

Companies in the Californian

the 1850s
John Woodland
MODERN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY
Between 1849 and 1853, shares in nearly 120 public
companies to exploit the booming goldelds of California
and Australia were offered to the British public. The
companies were collectively capitalised at over 15 million,
but in the end only some 1.75 million was raised between
42 of them, with only one company surviving what the
newspapers of the day described as a gold bubble.
This is the rst detailed investigation of the British gold
bubble companies and their involvement in the almost
simultaneous gold rushes on both sides of the Pacic.

The Next War in the Air
Britains Fear of the Bomber, 19081941
Brett Holman, University of New England, Australia
In the early twentieth century, the technology of ight
changed warfare. Writers argued that the main strategic risk
to Britain was the possibility of a sudden, destructive aerial
bombardment of Britains cities. For the rst time, The Next
War in the Air draws on archival documents and publications
from 19081941 to reconstruct the concept of the knock-out
blow as it was articulated in the public sphere, the reasons
why it came to be so widely accepted, and the way it shaped
the responses of the British public to some of the great
issues facing them in the 1930s.

The Paris Zone
A Cultural History, 18401944
James Cannon, La Trobe University, Australia
Since the mid-1970s, the term zone has often been
associated with the post-war housing estates on the
outskirts of large French cities. However, it once referred
to a more circumscribed space: the zone non aedicandi
(non-building zone) which encircled Paris (1840-1940). This
unusual territory came to occupy a central place in Parisian
culture. By analysing a wider range of sources from the
duration of the zones existence, this study offers a nuanced
account of how the area was perceived by successive
generations of Parisian novelists, poets, songwriters, artists,
photographers, lm-makers, politicians and town-planners.

Public Religious Disputation

Joshua Rodda, University of Nottingham, UK
With a focus on England from the accession of Elizabeth I
to the mid-1620s, this book examines the practice of public,

Protestant and nonconformist puritan divines. Introducing
a form of discourse hitherto neglected, the volume works
to rehabilitate a body of material only previously examined
as part of the mass of polemic produced in the wake of the
Reformation. In so doing, it argues that public religious
disputation can offer insights into contemporary beliefs and
conceptions of religious identity, as well as an accessible
window into the major theological controversies of the age.

Edited by Paul Dalton, Canterbury Christ Church

The importance of rulership and rebellion in the history of the
Anglo-Norman world between 1066 and the early thirteenth
century is incontrovertible. The power, government, and
inuence of kings, queens and lords dominated society and
was frequently challenged and resisted. But while biographies
of rulers, studies of central, local and seigniorial government,
and works on political struggles abound, many aspects of
rulership and rebellion remain to be explored. This volume,
dedicated to the pioneering work of Edmund King, will make
an original and timely contribution to our knowledge of
Anglo-Norman history.

privileged Graeco-Roman and even Armenian narratives.
However, when investigated within the dual contexts of
a regional literary canon and the active participation of
Caucasias diverse peoples in the Iranian Commonwealth,
early Georgian texts emerge as rich repositories of late

This volume examines the transformation that took place in
a wide range of genres in Late Antiquity. Aspects of sacred
and secular literature are discussed, alongside chapters
on technical writing, monody, epigraphy, epistolography
and visual representation. What emerges is the exibility of
genres in the period: late antique authors were not slavish
followers of their classical predecessors, but were capable
of engaging with existing models and adapting them to their
own purposes.

applied to pre-modern Ireland. Drawing upon a selection of
his most provocative and pioneering essays, together with
three new pieces, the limits and contexts of Irish nationalism
are explored and its impact on both early modern society
and later generations, examined. The volume illuminates
political and religious developments within Ireland, and how
these affected events across the British Isles and beyond.

Space in the Medieval West
Places, Territories, and Imagined Geographies
Edited by Meredith Cohen, University of California,
USA and Fanny Madeline, Laboratoire de Mdivistique
Occidentale de Paris, France
In the last two decades, research on spatial paradigms
and practices has gained momentum across disciplines
and periods, including the eld of medieval studies.
Responding to this spatial turn in the humanities, the
essays collected here generate new ideas about how
medieval space was dened, constructed and practiced in
Europe, particularly in France.The resulting collection builds
on existing scholarship but brings new insight, situating
medieval constructions of space in relation to contemporary
conceptions of the subject.

Sudden Death: Medicine and
Religion in Eighteenth-Century
Rome
Maria Pia Donato, C.N.R.S. Institut dHistoire Moderne
et Contemporaine, Paris, France and University of
Cagliari, Italy
THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXT
In 17051706, an epidemic of mysterious deaths terrorized
Rome. Pope Clement XIs physician, Giovanni Maria Lancisi,
was ordered to perform a series of dissections to discover
the cause of the epidemic, which hindered confession,
thus threatening the victims salvation. The book that
Lancisi subsequently published, De subitaneis mortibus
(On Sudden Deaths, 1707), is one of the earliest modern
scientic investigations of death. Sudden Death explores
how a new scientic interpretation of death rst came into
being, and led the way to a belief in the conquest of death
by medicine which remains to this day.

Suzanne Nol: Cosmetic Surgery,
Feminism and Beauty in Early
Twentieth-Century France
Paula J. Martin, Georgia Southwestern State University,
USA
THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXT
Working at the forefront of cosmetic surgery at the turn of
the twentieth century, Dr Suzanne Nol was both a pioneer
in her medical eld and a rm believer in the advancement
of women. Today her views on the benets of aesthetic
surgery to women may seem at odds with her feminist
principles, but by placing Nol in the context of turn-of-the-
century French culture, this book is able to demonstrate
how these two worldviews were reconciled. This book sheds
much valuable light on advances in aesthetic surgery,
twentieth-century beauty culture, women and the public
sphere, and the new woman.

The Use of Hereford
The Sources of a Medieval English Diocesan
Rite
William Smith
The Use of Hereford, a local variation of the Roman rite, was
one of the diocesan liturgies of medieval England before
their abolition and replacement by the Book of Common
Prayer in 1549. Unlike the widespread Use of Sarum, the Use
of Hereford was conned principally to its diocese, which
helped to maintain its individuality until the Reformation. This
study seeks to catalogue and evaluate all the known surviving
sources of the Use of Hereford, with particular reference to
the missals and gradual, which so far have received little
attention. In addition to these a variety of other material
has been examined, including a number of little-known or
unknown important fragments of early Hereford service-books
dismembered at the Reformation and now hidden away as
binding or other scrap in libraries and record ofces.

Matteo Di Tullio, Bocconi University, Italy
The early-sixteenth century was a turbulent time for the
Italian peninsula as competing centres of power struggled
for political control. Nowhere was this more true than the
area contested by Milan and Venice, an area constantly
crossed and occupied by rival armies. Investigating the
impact of successive crises upon the inhabitants of the Po
Valley, this book challenges many fundamental assumptions
about the relationship between war and economic

COMPOSTELA INTERNATIONAL STUDIES IN PILGRIMAGE
HISTORY AND CULTURE
For many in the Middle Ages, pilgrimages were seen to
represent a risk of moral and religious perdition for women,
who were generally discouraged from making them. Women
and Pilgrimage in Medieval Galicia represents an analysis
of the social history of women based on documentary
sources and physical evidence, breaking away from literary
and historiographical stereotypes, while at the same time
contributing to a critical assessment of the myth that
medieval women were kept hidden away from the world.

Communal Identity and Self-
Portrayal in the Worlds of
Eastern Christianity, 3001500
Edited by Barbara Roggema, Kings College London, UK
THE WORLDS OF EASTERN CHRISTIANITY, 3001500: CS14
The Christian communities of the Middle East distinguish
themselves through their unique languages, their ethnic
identities and their doctrinal stances. Whereas the history
of doctrinal disputes has been a topic of old in Western
scholarship, it is only in more recent times that scholars
have begun to investigate how the Christian communities of
the Nile-to-Oxus region perceived themselves and how they
asserted their distinct identities vis--vis their neighbours
and maintained a sense of communal integrity in response
to cultural change and foreign domination. This volume
brings together a number of key studies, many specially
translated into English for this volume, which deal with this
question of Eastern Christian self-denition. Included in the
volume is an extensive bibliography on the topic of Eastern
Christian self-understanding.

Ideas and Practices in the

Adrian Wilson, University of Leeds, UK
Most of these essays touch upon, and some of them are
exclusively concerned with, small scale social processes:
e.g. the routines of the all-female early-modern childbirth
ritual, the different ways that male practitioners were
summoned to such occasions, the functioning of voluntary
hospitals, the protocols underlying patient records.
Whenever there comes into being something new whether
an institution, a social practice or a concept the question
arises as to its relationship with what went before. This
concept resonates throughout these essays, but is most to
the fore in the chapters on early Hanoverian London and on
Porter versus Foucault.

Risky Rewards
How Company Bonuses Affect Safety
Andrew Hopkins and Sarah Maslen,

Financial incentives have long been used to try to
inuence professional values and practices. Recent events
including the global nancial crisis and the BP Texas City
renery disaster have been linked to such incentives, with
commentators calling for a critical look at these systems
given the catastrophic outcomes. Risky Rewards engages
with this debate, particularly in the context of the present

Communities in Transition:
Protected Nature and Local
People in Eastern and Central
Europe
Saska Petrova, University of Manchester, UK
ASHGATE STUDIES IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND PRACTICE
Providing an integrated perspective on why, how and
for whom nature conservation practices have been
implemented in CEE, this book sheds further light upon the
mechanisms through which such practices both redene
and are affected by the everyday life of people living in
national parks. Offering a critical global review of the
environmental motivations and power interests behind
the creation of national parks, as well as a typology of the
relations between local people and the dynamics of nature
protection in them, this work challenges the dichotomy
between developed and developing countries that pervades
much of the academic literature on nature protection.

Edible Identities:
Food as Cultural Heritage
Edited by Ronda L. Brulotte, University of New Mexico,
USA and Michael A. Di Giovine, West Chester University,
USA
HERITAGE, CULTURE AND IDENTITY
Bringing together cultural anthropologists, archaeologists,
historians and other scholars of food and heritage, this
volume closely examines the ways in which the cultivation,
preparation, and consumption of food is used to create
identity claims of cultural heritage on local, regional,
national and international scales. Featuring case studies
from Europe, Asia and the Americas, this timely volume
also addresses the complex processes of classifying,
designating, and valorizing food as terroir, slow food, or as
intangible cultural heritage through UNESCO. By effectively
analyzing food and foodways through the perspectives
of critical heritage studies, this collection productively
brings two overlapping but frequently separate theoretical
frameworks into conversation.

of Gothenburg, Sweden
DESIGN AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Bringing together leading academics from across a range
of disciplines, Emergent Urbanism identies the specic
issues dominating todays urban planning and urban design
discourse, arguing that urban planning and design not only
results from deliberate planning and design measures, but
how these combine with infrastructure planning, and derive
from economic, social and spatial processes of structural
change. Combining explorations from urban planning,
urban theory, human geography, sociology, urban design
and architecture, the volume provides a comprehensive and
state-of-the-art overview, highlighting the complexities of
these interactions in space and place, process and design.

Encountering Affect
Capacities, Apparatuses, Conditions
Ben Anderson, Durham University, UK
In Encountering Affect, Ben Anderson explores why
understanding affect matters and offers one account of
affective life that hones in on the different ways in which
affects are ordered. Intervening in debates around non-
representational theories, he argues that affective life is
always-already mediated the never nished product of
apparatuses, encounters and conditions. Through a wide
range of examples including dread-debility-dependency
in torture, ordinary hopes, and precariousness, Anderson
shows the signicance of affect for understanding life today.

The Ethnopoetics of
Space and Transformation
Young Peoples Engagement,
Activism and Aesthetics
Stuart C. Aitken, San Diego State University, USA
Aitken examines key life-changing events to look at the
interconnections between space, politics, change and
emotions. Analysing the intricate spatial complexities of
these events, he explores the emotions that undergird
the ways change takes place, and the perplexing spatial
politics that almost always accompany transformations.
Aitken positions young people as effective agents of change
without romanticizing their political involvement as fantasy
and unrealistic dreaming. Going further, he suggests that
it is the emotional palpability of youth engagement and
activism that makes it so potent and productive.

European Integration

Actors, Institutions and Power
Michael Kull, MTT Agrifood Research Finland

PERSPECTIVES ON RURAL POLICY AND PLANNING
By examining the Community Initiative LEADER+ and
setting this within a discussion of the state and structure of
rural development policy, this book looks at the challenges,
opportunities and policy options which are available and
have been implemented in rural development. It shows
that these are often context dependent and that the future
of rural development policies, their shape and institutional
conguration depend on reforms put in place at all levels
of governance. Finally, it argues that the MLG of rural
development policy must be built with people who have
the know-how and the (local) knowledge to implement
development projects and who have made LEADER a
success in the past.

TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY
Making a detailed contribution to geographies of air
transport and aeromobility, this book examines the practices
and processes that produce particular patterns of air
transport provision both regionally and globally. In so doing,

This book focuses on the material city and its institutions and
shows that, without recourse to a big new theory, urban leaders
have devised mechanisms of ordinary government. They
have done so through the resolution of practical and essential
problems: providing electricity, drinking water, sanitation,
transportation. In the originality of its hypotheses and the
precision of the analyses carried out in the four case study
cities of Shanghai, Mumbai, Cape Town and Santiago de Chile,
this work is addressed to all those interested in the life of cities:
politicians, local and central government ofcials, executives in
urban companies, researchers and students.

geopolitics, gender, technocracy, trauma and memory,
can be informed by the study of space exploration.

them as participants in the entire process from choice of
research topic onwards. The aim is not only to change power
relationships, but also engage with non-academic audiences.

it evaluates each mechanisms performance focusing on
aspects such as equity, revenue-generating potential, the

mechanisms, stakeholder support for these mechanisms,
and the legal and policy environment. Although the book

the urgent need for additional revenue to fund public
transportation are world-wide concerns. Therefore, one
chapter of this book is devoted exclusively to an overview of
the VC mechanisms in use internationally.

Julian Brigstocke, Plymouth University, UK
STUDIES IN HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY
The Life of the City is a bold and innovative reassessment

to re-imagine and reinvent the experiential life of the city.
Constructing a ground-breaking theoretical analysis of the
relationships between biological life, urban culture, and
modern forms of biopolitical experiential authority, Julian
Brigstocke traces the failed attempts of Parisian radicals to
turn the crisis of authority in late nineteenth century Paris
into an opportunity to invent new forms of urban commons.

Negotiating Water Governance
Why the Politics of Scale Matter
Edited by Emma S. Norman, Michigan Technological
University, USA, Christina Cook, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel and Alice Cohen, Acadia University,
Canada
Those who control water, hold power. Complicating matters,
water is a ow resource; constantly changing states between
liquid, solid, and gas, being incorporated into living and
non-living things and crossing boundaries of all kinds. As a
result, water governance has much to do with the question of
boundaries and scale: who is in and who is out of decision-
making structures? Which of the many boundaries that water
crosses should be used for decision-making related to its
governance? Recently, efforts to understand the relationship
between water and political boundaries have come to the
fore of water governance debates: how and why does water
governance fragment across sectors and governmental
departments? How can we govern shared waters more
effectively? How do politics and power play out in water
governance? This book brings together and connects the
work of scholars to engage with such questions.

On South Bank: The Production
of Public Space
Alasdair J.H. Jones, London School of Economics, UK
RE-MATERIALISING CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY
Through an in-depth ethnographic examination of
Londons South Bank, this book explores the value widely
presupposed on urban public space. Based on subjective
accounts of the value of public space, as well as observations
of how the South Bank is used and practised on a daily
basis, it argues that this value is not so much inherent to
physical public space itself as it is derived through the
everyday use and production of that space. Public space is
valued not only for its essential material characteristics but
also for the productive potential that these characteristics, if
properly managed, afford on a daily basis.

The Paradoxes of Planning
A Psycho-Analytical Perspective
Sara Westin, Uppsala University, Sweden
NEW DIRECTIONS IN PLANNING THEORY
Using a philosophical and psychoanalytical approach,
this book critically examines expert knowledge within
architecture and urban planning. Its point of departure is
the the gap between visions and realities, intentions and
outcomes in planning, with particular focus on projects in
Sweden that try to create an urban atmosphere. Finding
insights from the work of Sigmund Freud and his followers,
the book argues that urban planning during the 20th century
is a neurotic activity prone to produce a type of alienation.

port-cities learn from other countries, regions and cities?
and what will be the next stage of port-city interplays in
China in this globalizing era?

Walking a Fine Line
Edited by Amy E. Lesen, Dillard University, USA
How do scientists, scholars, and other experts engage with
the general public and with the communities affected by
their work or residing in their sites of study? Where are the
ne lines between public scholarship, civic engagement,
and activism? Must academics give back once they collect
data and publish results? In this volume, authors from a
wide range of disciplines examine these relationships to
assess how they can be fruitful or challenging. Describing

Tourism, Performance and Place
A Geographic Perspective
Jillian M. Rickly-Boyd, Daniel C. Knudsen, Lisa C.
Braverman, Indiana University, USA and Michelle M.
Metro-Roland, Western Michigan University, USA
Drawing upon theories of landscape and performance, this
work weaves together existing tourism literature with new
scholarship to forge a geographically informed theory of
tourism. Such a theory integrates the ways in which places
are co-produced, circulated, interpreted, experienced, and
performed for and by tourists, tourism boards, and even
as everyday spaces. Bringing together theories of ritual,
Peircean semiotics, ideology, and performance, the authors
blend the often separate literatures of tourism sites and
touristic practices.

Under Construction: Logics of

Edited by Steffen Wippel and Katrin Bromber, both

Interdisciplinary in approach, this volume explores and
deciphers the symbolic value and iconicity of the built
environment in the Arab Gulf Region, its aesthetics, language
and performative characteristics. It suggests that recent
developments in this region of the world not only represent a
showcase of extraordinary initiatives by which these desert
states have transformed, but also that the commodication of
local traditions acts as an essential element in the countries
effort to design an Arab version of (hyper-)modernity and to
position themselves as a regional and global archetype, which
has frequently been adopted elsewhere.

Popular Humanitarianism in Neoliberal Times
Mary Mostafanezhad, University of Hawaii
This rst full length treatment of volunteer tourism taking a

inuence managements perception of globalisation and
therefore the knowledge which is going global. Exploring
beyond the meaning of worldwide knowledge as general
open access knowledge, this book also discusses barriers
to knowledge, problems of transfer, and the inuence of

Information and Cultural Management
Australian Artists in the
Contemporary Museum
Jennifer Barrett and Jacqueline Millner, University of
Sydney, Australia
In Australia, the artists engagement with the museum
is traditionally regarded as having an important role in
the colonial project but, as times have changed, the post-
colonial viewpoint has come to the fore. The authors of
Australian Artists and the Museum propose that the artists
engagement has moved from politically informed critique
taking place in museums of ne art, towards a critique of
the creation of knowledge taking place in non-art museums,
assuming new forms, including the artist acting as curator,
art interventions that highlight the use of taxonomic modes
of display and categorization, and the engagement with the
aesthetics of collections to suggest different readings of
objects and artefacts.

tested new technologies for the acquisition of built heritage
and developed new methods for comparative analysis of
built form geometry.

Museum Representations
of Maoist China
From Cultural Revolution to Commie Kitsch
Amy Jane Barnes, University of Leicester, UK
The collection, interpretation and display of art from the
Peoples Republic of China, and particularly the art of the
Cultural Revolution, have been problematic for museums.
These objects challenge our perception of Chineseness
and their style, content and the means of their production
question accepted notions of how we perceive art. This book
links art history, museology and visual culture studies to
examine how museums have attempted to reveal, discuss
and resolve some of these issues. This book will be of
interest to scholars and students in museology, visual
and cultural studies as well as scholars of Chinese and
revolutionary art.

Museums and Restitution
New Practices, New Approaches
Edited by Louise Tythacott, University of London, UK
and Kostas Arvanitis, University of Manchester, UK
This book examines contemporary approaches to restitution
from the perspective of museums. It focuses on the ways in
which these institutions have been addressing the subject
at a regional, national and international level. In particular,
it explores contemporary practices and recent claims, and
investigates to what extent the question of restitution as
an issue of ownership is still at large, or whether museums
have found additional ways to conceptualise and practice
restitution, by thinking beyond the issue of ownership. The
challenges, benets and drawbacks of recent and current
museum practice are explored.

Museums in the
New Mediascape
Transmedia, Participation, Ethics
Jenny Kidd, Cardiff University, UK
The museum today faces complex questions of denition,
representation, ethics, aspiration and economic survival.
Alongside this we see burgeoning use of an array of new media
including increasingly dynamic web portals and content,
digital archives, social networks, blogs and online games.
At the heart of this are changes to the idea of visitor and
audience and their participation and representation in the
new cultural sphere. This insightful book unpacks a number of
contradictions that help to frame and articulate digital media
work in the museum and questions what constitutes authentic
participation. Based on original empirical research and a
range of case studies the author explores questions about the
museum as media from a number of different disciplines and
shows that across museums and the study of them, the cultural
logic is changing.

and the Work of Photographs

This book brings into focus the ubiquitous yet entirely
unconsidered work that photographs are put to in museums.
The authors argument is that there is an economy of
photographs in museums which is integral to the processes

museums. The international contributors, drawn from
curators and academics, reect a range of visual and
museological expertise. The volume emerges from
PhotoCLEC, a HERA funded project on museums and the
photographic legacy of the colonial past in a postcolonial
and multicultural Europe.

That situation has now slowly begun to change on both the
local and international level as criminals, encouraged in
part by the record sums now being paid for art treasures, are
now seeking to exploit the art market more systematically by
means of theft, fraud and looting. In this collection academics
and practitioners from Australasia, Europe and North America
combine to examine the challenges presented to the criminal

Declarations of Interdependence
A Legal Pluralist Approach to
Indigenous Rights
Kirsten Anker, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND LAW
This book takes up the postcolonial challenge for law and
explains how the problems of recognition are tied to an
orthodox theory of law. The author focuses on prominent
aspects of legal discourse and process and includes case
studies and examples principally drawn from Australia and
Canada. As a contribution to legal theory the study advances

First Amendment Conundrums
Nina J. Crimm, St Johns University School of Law, USA

In recent years, a conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme
Court, over vigorous dissent, has developed circumventions
to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment that
allow state legislatures to use public tax dollars to aid
private elementary and secondary education, with the
vast majority of that funding reaching parochial schools
and other religiously-afliated education providers. In
this book Winer and Crimm clearly elucidate for readers
greater understanding and appreciation the complex and
controversial policy, legal, and constitutional issues involved
in using tax expenditures mechanisms such as exclusions,
deductions, and credits that economically function
essentially as government subsidies - to nance private,

Annabelle Mooney, University of Roehampton, UK
This study brings research in linguistics and the way in
which the body is written upon to bear on discourse on
human rights and the body. Drawing on legal concepts and
aspects of the law of human rights, the study argues that the
proper frames for human rights are rstly the human body,
seen as an index reliant on the natural world, secondly the
globe and nally, language. These three frames generate
rights to food, water, sleep and shelter, environmental
protection and a right against dehumanization.

This book contributes to, and refocuses, public debates
about the incorporation of plural approaches into the English
legal system by examining a secular method of dispute

communities in the UK as widely applicable elsewhere, and
in a possible future Kurdish state, as a practical solution
to the challenges of a pluralistic life. The book provides a
substantive evidence base, using extensive ethnographic
data, and examines detailed case studies in the context of

Although developments such as the drastic increase in the

rehearsed difculties, for example, in separating trials
form pre-trial proceedings, partly because the trial/pre-trial
dichotomy is an artefact of institutional procedural traditions
and different legal systems draw the line in different places,
for reasons that seem to them compelling but would not
necessarily be viewed as logical by foreign observers.

Regulating Corporate Bribery
in International Business
Anti-corruption in the UK and Germany
Nicholas Lord, University of Manchester, UK
LAW, CRIME AND CULTURE
This book is about the regulation of corporations that
use bribery in international commerce to win or maintain
overseas business contracts and interests. The author argues
that despite signicant cultural differences between the
jurisdictions, UK and German anti-corruption authorities
face procedural, evidential, legal, nancial and structural
difculties that are leading to convergence in prosecution
policies. Although self-regulatory and hybrid mechanisms are
aiding the response and gaining some level of regulation, the
default position is one of accommodation by state agencies,
even where the will to enforce the law is high.

General principles of law have made, and are likely further to
make, a signicant contribution to our understanding of the
constituent elements of global justice. Dealing extensively
with global headline issues of peace, security and justice, this
book explores justice arising in specic areas of international
law, as well as underlying theories of justice from political
science and international relations. With contributions
from leading academics and practitioners, the book adopts
an interdisciplinary approach. Covering issues such as
international humanitarian law, and examining the signicance
of non-state actors for the development of international law, the
collection concludes with the complex question of how best to
rethink aspects of international justice.

Angela Campbell, McGill University, Canada
GENDER IN LAW, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY
This book develops an analytical framework that aims to

alternate modes for assessing, from a law and policy
standpoint, the palatability of social practices that appear

Trade, Food Security,

The Rules for International Trade in Agricultural
Products and the Evolving World Food Crisis
Ying Chen
The author argues here that there is no absolute food
shortage and that distorted agricultural trade which
undermines world food distribution is a vital and overlooked
factor. The book looks at EU and US agricultural policies and
World Trade Organization negotiations in agriculture and
proposes that the international trade regime reconciles trade
rules with the consideration of food security issues. Several
other enforceable solutions to reduce world hunger and
malnutrition are also advanced, including national capacity
building, the improvement of governance, and strategic
development of biofuel programs.

Edited by Maksymilian Del Mar, Queen Mary University
of London, UK and Michael Lobban, London School of

The papers selected for this volume explore issues in the
study of historical jurisprudence. The topics range from the

creative discipline capable of yielding insights about
how to conceptualise legal change, how to give voice to
those operating outside of legal ofcialdom and how to
understand the relationship between law and politics.

Anti-formalist, Unrevolutionary,
Illiberal Milton
Political Prose, 16441660
William Walker, University of New South Wales, Australia
Citing Miltons major prose works from the civil war
through to the Restoration, Walker reveals a Milton who is
antiformalist in his constitutional thought, unrevolutionary
in his general socio-political outlook, and markedly illiberal
on a wide range of social, religious and political issues.
Walkers book is thus a highly provocative challenge to the
current consensus that Milton is an early modern proponent
of republicanism, radicalism, revolution and liberalism.

Dystopian Fiction
Edited by Sara K. Day, Southern Arkansas University,
USA, Miranda Green-Barteet, University of Western
Ontario, Canada and Amy L. Montz, University of
Southern Indiana, USA
Focusing on dystopian novels featuring a female protagonist,

contending with societal and governmental threats at the
same time that she is navigating the treacherous waters of
young adulthood. Essays on writers that include Libba Bray,

Suzanne Collins show how this rebellious gure interrogates
the competing constructions of adolescent womanhood in
late-twentieth- and early twenty-rst-century culture.

Female Transgression in
Early Modern Britain
Literary and Historical Explorations
Edited by Richard Hillman and Pauline Ruberry-
Blanc, Universit de Tours, France / Centre dtudes
Suprieures de la Renaissance-CNRS
Containing wide-ranging reections on the subject of
female transgression in early modern Britain, this volume
presents a richly productive dialogue between literary and
historical approaches to the topic. The contributors illustrate
the dynamic relation between ction and fact that informs
literary and socio-historical analysis alike, exploring female
transgression as a process, not of crossing xed boundaries,
but of negotiating the epistemological space between
representation and documentation.

Gender and Song in
Early Modern England
Edited by Leslie C. Dunn, Vassar College, USA and

Innovative and collaborative in its approach, this volume
engages with the question of how gender informed song
within particular textual, social and spatial contexts in
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. In its attention
to the gendering of song and the gendered processes and
spaces of songs circulation and reception, it interrogates
the literary and cultural signicance of song for early
modern readers, performers and audiences.

George Eliot, Poetess
Wendy S. Williams, Texas Christian University, USA
The position of George Eliots poetry within Victorian poetry
and within her own canon is crucial for an accurate picture
of the writer, as Wendy S. Williams shows in her in-depth
examination of Eliots poetry and her role as poetess.
Williams examines Eliots poetry in relationship to her
gender and sexual politics and her shifting religious beliefs,
arguing that Eliots adoption of the poetess persona reveals
her commitment to help rene society through compassion
and fellow-feeling.

God and Nature in the Thought
of Margaret Cavendish
Edited by Brandie R. Siegfried, Brigham Young
University, USA and Lisa T. Sarasohn, Oregon State
University, USA
Only recently have scholars begun to note Cavendishs
references to God, spirits, and the rational soul, and little
has been published in this regard. This volume addresses
that scarcity by taking up the theological threads woven
into Cavendishs ideas about Nature, matter, magic,
governance, and social relations, with special attention
given to Cavendishs literary oeuvre. The essays enhance our
understanding of Cavendishs intriguing and sometimes
brilliant contributions to debates about Gods place in the
scientic cosmos.

Tropes of monstrosity, madness, venereal disease, incest and

The Idea of Europe in British
Travel Narratives, 1789-1914
Katarina Gephardt, Kennesaw State University, USA
Showing how specic rhetorical strategies used in
nineteenth-century British travel writing produced ctional
representations of continental Europe in works by Ann
Radcliffe, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Bram Stoker,
Katarina Gephardt argues that nineteenth-century writers
envisioned their country simultaneously as distinct from
the Continent and as a part of Europe. She suggests that
their imaginative geography of Europe anticipated Britains
ambivalence about European integration.

Considering a variety of questions centering on magic and,

the cultural work performed by representations of magic on

that the idea of transformation applies not only to the objects
and subjects of magic, but that the plays themselves can be
seen as working to effect transformation in the ways that they

Cathy Berberian (19251983) was a vocal performance artist,
singer and composer who pioneered a way of composing
with (and listening to) the voice in the musical worlds of
Europe, North America and beyond. As a modernist muse for
many avant-garde composers, she went on to embody the
principles of postmodern thinking in her work. This volume
celebrates her path through musical landscapes including
her approach to performance practice, gender performativity,
vocal pedagogy and the epistemological borders of art
music, the concert stage, the popular LP and the opera
industry of her times. The collection features primary
documentation and a Foreword by Susan McClary.

Collaborative Creative Thought
and Practice in Music
Edited by Margaret S. Barrett, University of Queensland,
Australia
Focusing on the domain of music, the approach taken in this
book falls into three sections: investigations of the people,
processes, products, and places of collaborative creativity
in compositional thought and practice; explorations of the
ways in which creative collaboration provides a means of
crossing boundaries between disciplines such as music
performance and musicology; and studies of the emergence
of creative thought and practice in educational contexts
including that of the composer and the classroom. The
volume concludes with an extended essay that reects
on the ways in which the studies reported advance
understandings of creative thought and practice.

Edited by Karen Burland, University of Leeds, UK and
Stephanie Pitts, University of Shefeld, UK
This collection explores the processes and experiences
of attending live music events from the initial decision to
attend through to audience responses and memories of a
performance after it has happened. The book brings together
international researchers who consider the experience of
being an audience member from a range of theoretical and
empirical perspectives and the question of what makes
an audience, arguing convincingly for the practical and
academic value of that question.

Fiesta de diez pesos: Music and
Gay Identity in Special Period Cuba
Moshe Morad
SOAS MUSICOLOGY SERIES
The Special Period in Cuba was an extended period
of economic depression starting in the early 1990s,
characterised by the collapse of revolutionary values and
social norms, and a way of life conducted by improvised
solutions for survival, including hustling and sex-work.
During this period there developed a thriving, though
constantly harassed and destabilised, clandestine gay scene
(known as the ambiente). In the course of eight visits to
the city between 1995 and 2007, the last dozen years of
Fidel Castros reign, Moshe Morad became absorbed in
the Havanas gay scene, where he created a wide social
network, attended numerous secret gatherings - from
clandestine parties to religious rituals and observed
patterns of behaviour and communication. He discovered
the role of music in this scene as a marker of identity, a
source of queer codications and identications, a medium
of interaction, an outlet for emotion and a way to escape
from a reality of scarcity, oppression and despair.

In this important study, Margaret Seares places Johannes
Matthesons Pices de clavecin (1714) in the context of his
work as a public intellectual who encouraged German
musicians and their musical public to embrace a universalism
of style and expression derived from contemporary
currents in music of the leading European nations. Searess
understanding of Matthesons ideas is based on a thorough
study of his non-musical writings, especially Das neu-

John Wallis: Writings on Music
Edited by David Cram and Benjamin Wardhaugh,
both at the University of Oxford, UK
MUSIC THEORY IN BRITAIN, 15001700: CRITICAL EDITIONS
John Wallis (16161703), was one of the foremost British
mathematicians of the seventeenth century, and is also
remembered for his important writings on grammar and
logic. An interest in music theory led him to produce
translations into Latin of three ancient Greek texts those
of Ptolemy, Porphyry and Bryennius and involved him in
discussions with Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the
Royal Society, Thomas Salmon and others as his ideas
developed. The texts presented here cover the relationship
of ancient and modern tuning theory, the building of organs,
the phenomena of resonance, and other musical topics.

Legacies of Ewan MacColl
The Last Interview
Edited by Allan F. Moore, University of Surrey, UK and
Giovanni Vacca
This book contributes signicantly to the debate
surrounding the importance of Ewan MacColl to the English
folk revival. MacColl gave two extended interviews with
co-editor Giovanni Vacca in 1987 and 1988 and these provide
the impetus for a re-examination of his methods, his politics
and his aesthetic aims. Great emphasis is placed on the
importance of seeing MacColl as not only a British, but a
European folk activist, through discussion of his hitherto
barely known work in Italy, enabling a re-contextualisation of
his work within a broader European context. Peggy Seeger
contributes a Foreword to the collection.

Louise Talma
A Life in Composition
Kendra Preston Leonard
Louise Talma (19061996) was the rst female winner of
two back-to-back Guggenheim Awards, the rst American
woman to have an opera premiered in Europe, the rst
female winner of the Sibelius Award for Composition, and
the rst woman composer elected to the American Academy
and Institute of Arts and Letters. This book analyses Talmas
works in the context of her life, focusing on the effects on
her work of two major changes she made during her adult
life: her conversion to Catholicism, and her adoption of serial
compositional techniques. Employing approaches from
traditional musical analysis, feminist and queer musicology,
and womens autobiographical theory, this is the rst full-
length study of this pioneering composer.

Metrical Psalmody in
Print and Practice
English Singing Psalms and Scottish Psalm
Buiks, c. 15471640
Timothy Duguid, Texas A&M University, USA
During the Reformation, the Book of Psalms became
one of the most well-known books of the Bible. This was
particularly true in Britain, where people of all backgrounds
memorized and sang poetic versications of the psalms.
This book is the rst to consider both English and Scottish
metrical psalmody, comparing the two traditions in print
and practice. It combines theological literary and musical
analysis to reveal new connections between the psalm texts
and their tunes, which it traces in the English and Scottish
psalters printed through 1640.

Music Studies
The Politics of Verdis Cantica
Roberta Montemorra Marvin, University of Iowa, USA
This study unpacks the history of Verdis composition from
its creation, performance, and publication in the 1860s
through its appropriation as social and political commentary
and its perception by American broadcast media as a
weapon of art in the mid-twentieth century. The project also
offers the rst fully documented study of the performances,
radio broadcast, and lming of the work by conductor Arturo
Toscanini during World War II. In presenting new evidence
about ways in which Verdis music was appropriated by
expatriate Italians and the US government for cross-cultural
propaganda, it addresses the intertwining of Italian and
American culture with regard to art, politics, and history.

Senza Vestimenta: The Literary
Tradition of Trecento Song
The Literary Tradition of Trecento Song
Lauren McGuire Jennings, University of
Southern California, USA
MUSIC AND MATERIAL CULTURE
Senza Vestimenta reintegrates poetic and musical traditions
in late medieval Italy through a fresh evaluation of more than
50 literary sources transmitting Trecento song texts. These
manuscripts have been long noted by musicologists, but
until now they have been used to bolster rather than to
debunk the notion that so-called poesia per musica was
relegated to the margins of poetic production. Jennings
revises this view by exploring how scribes and readers
interacted with song as a fundamentally interdisciplinary art
form within a broad range of literary settings.

Singing Dante: The Literary
Origins of Cinquecento Monody
Elena Abramov-van Rijk
This book takes its departure from an experiment presented
by Vincenzo Galilei in the Florentine Camerata in about 1580.
This rst demonstration of the stile recitativo is known from
a single later source, a letter written in 1634 by Pietro dei
Bardi. This report has remained a curiosity in the history
of music, and it has seemed impossible to determine the
true signicance of Galileis presentation. Unfortunately the
music is lost, yet we know the poetic text chosen by Galilei
was an excerpt from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
Starting from this information the author considers Galileis
motives for choosing this text and sheds light on some of the
features of his experiment.

Representations of National

Uro Cvoro, University of New South Wales, Australia
Turbo-folk music is the most controversial form of popular
culture in the new states of former Yugoslavia. Beginning
with 1970s Socialist Yugoslavia, Uro Cvoro explores the
cultural and political paradoxes of turbo-folk. Taking as
its starting point turbo-folks popularity across national
borders, Cvoro analyses key songs and performers in Serbia,
Slovenia and Croatia. What is proposed is a new way of
reading the relationship of contemporary popular music to
processes of cultural, political and social change and a
new understanding of how fundamental turbo-folk is to the
recent history of former Yugoslavia and its successor states.

Jon Stratton, Curtin University, Australia
Jon Stratton explores the concept of song careers, referring
to how a song is picked up and then transformed by being
revisioned by different artists and in different cultural
contexts, to examine the ways that music has crossed racial
faultlines that have developed in the post-Second World
War era as a consequence of the movement of previously
colonized peoples to the countries that colonized them. It
is this migration of music that will appeal not only to those
studying popular music, but also cultural studies and race.

communities have reected on the dissolution of the
country, what arguments remain open in scholarly discourse
and highlights new, innovative paths to study the period.

A Discourse Analysis of
Corruption
Instituting Neoliberalism Against Corruption
in Albania, 19982005
Blendi Kajsiu, University of New York in Tirana, Albania
Why did Albania enjoy some of the most successful
anti-corruption programs and institutions along with
what appeared to be growing levels of corruption during
the period 19982005? Looking at corruption through a
post-structuralist discourse analysis perspective this book
argues that the dominant corruption discourse in Albania
served primarily to institute the neoliberal order rather than
eliminate corruption. As a rare example of post-structuralist
discourse analysis of corruption this book can be useful
for future research on discourses of corruption in other
countries of the region and beyond.

Entrepreneurship in the Polis
Understanding Political Entrepreneurship
Edited by Inga Narbutait Aaki, Karlstad University,
Sweden, Evangelia Petridou, Mid-Sweden University,
Sweden and Lee Miles,Loughborough University, UK,
and Karlstad University, Sweden
THE ASHGATE PLUS SERIES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
AND POLITICS
In this volume, as is reected in the book title, the editors
make the conscious choice to use political as the umbrella
modier for all entrepreneurship which takes place in
the polis. The editors and contributors ll a lacuna in the
political science literature by conceptually enhancing the
term political entrepreneurship through development of
a theoretical framework juxtaposed with empirical work.
They collectively test and advance theoretical assumptions
about the emergence and implementation of entrepreneurial
action in the polis and explore the role of political contexts
and structures as to whether and how they inform political
entrepreneurial action.

Failed States and the

A Comparative Analysis of State Failure
as a Root Cause of Terrorism and
Political Violence
Tifany Howard, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
Utilizing global barometer data, Tifany Howard examines
the underpinnings of individual support for political
violence and argues that an insidious pattern of deprivation
within failed states drives ordinary citizens to engage in
and support extreme acts of political violence. A rigorous
examination of four regions plagued by a combination of

Middle East and North Africa, Southeast and South Asia,
and Latin America this text draws parallels to arrive at a
single conclusion; that failed states are a natural breeding
ground for terrorism and political violence.

Fukushima and Beyond
Nuclear Power in a Low-Carbon World
Christopher Hubbard, Curtin University, Australia
In light of the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident of 2011
the prospect of including or excluding nuclear power in a
low-carbon twenty-rst century world is now increasingly
critical. It is in this emerging scenario and context that this
book presents a full suite of historical, contemporary and
projected data. Its use of complementary and comparative
country-based case studies provides ample opportunity
for developing strongly illustrative analysis of policy
effectiveness in diverse polities and markets. In this way, it
combines clear, comprehensive and rigorously science-
based evidence, analysis and interpretation of data, all
leading to conclusions and policy recommendations.

reconrms social hierarchies and power relations, but also
motivates people to transgress cultural boundaries and

are a mix of classical ethnography, performance studies and
embodiment studies, showing emotions and feelings often
denied in scientic social research.

Gender Integration in
NATO Military Forces
Cross-national Analysis
Lana Obradovic, University of Nebraska Omaha, USA
Numerous states have passed gender integration legislation
permanently admitting women into their military forces. As
a result, these states have dramatically increased womens
numbers, and improved gender equality by removing a
number of restrictions. Why do states abandon their policies
of exclusion and promote gender integration in a way that
womens military participation becomes an integral part of
military force? By examining twenty-four NATO member
states, this book argues that civilian policymakers and
military leadership no longer surrender to parochial gendered
division of the roles, but rather support integration to meet
the recruitment numbers due to military modernization,
professionalization and technological advancements.

precedents for current politicians in areas such as house
building, local government, the living wage, a nancial
transaction tax, and the welfare state.

Parties, Elections and

Competition and Contamination Effects
Marc Guinjoan, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
According to the Duvergerian theories, in the long run,
only viable parties are expected to stand for elections.
Non-viable parties should join a pre-electoral coalition with
another party or withdraw from competition entirely. Why
then do non-viable political parties throughout the world
systematically continue presenting candidates? This book
argues that political parties will take advantage of their
viability in an arena to present candidacies in other arenas
where they do not have chances to become viable.

Refugees and the Myth of

Life Outside the Pale of the Law
Emma Larking, Australian National University, Australia
Most Western liberal democracies are parties to the United
Nations Refugees Convention and all are committed to
the recognition of basic human rights, but they also spend
billions fortifying their borders, detaining unauthorised
immigrants, and policing migration. Meanwhile, public
debate over the Wests obligations to unauthorised
immigrants is passionate, vitriolic, and divisive. Refugees
and the Myth of Human Rights combines philosophical,
historical, and legal analysis to clarify the key concepts at
stake in the debate, and to demonstrate the threat posed by
contemporary border regimes to rights protection and the
rule of law within liberal democracies.

This book shows how the new architecture of aid has
important implications in three distinct but related ways:
the discursive construction and production of post-

paradigm and develops a critical theoretical approach to
re-think conventional analyses of the new discourses on aid
reform whilst offering a fresh, alternative interpretation of
changes in international aid relations.

Revolutionary Subjectivity in
Post-Marxist Thought
Laclau, Negri, Badiou
Oliver Harrison, Nottingham Trent University, UK
RETHINKING POLITICAL AND INTERNATIONAL THEORY
Since the onset of the Global Financial Crisis the ideas of
Karl Marx have once again become prominent in social
and political thought. This book turns to Marxs theory
of revolutionary subjectivity to assess the work of three
contemporary global theorists: Ernesto Laclau, Antonio
Negri, and Alain Badiou. While providing a critical
examination of the theory of revolutionary subjectivity in
Laclau, Negri and Badiou, due to the fact such aspects
were already present in Marxs own theory, this book also
offers insights into the nature of post-Marxism itself. Whilst
accepting their respective differences, the conclusion offers
a synthesis of all three theoretical approaches to understand
the constitution of revolutionary subjectivity today.

Shaping US Military Law
Governing a Constitutional Military
Lieutenant Colonel Joshua E. Kastenberg, United States
Air Force, Judge Advocate Generals Corps, USA
JUSTICE, INTERNATIONAL LAW AND GLOBAL SECURITY
Since the United States entry into World War II, the federal
judiciary has taken a prominent role in the shaping of the
nations military laws. Yet, a majority of the academic legal
community studying the relationship between the Court
and the military establishment argues otherwise providing
the basis for a further argument that the legal construct of
the military establishment is constitutionally questionable.
Centring on the Cold War era from 1968 onward, this book
weaves judicial biography and a historic methodology based on
primary source materials into its analysis and reviews several
military law judicial decisions ignored by other studies.

Innovatively adopting a discursive approach, this book - the

as: What are women and men symbols of, and how is gender
constructed in policy discourse? It studies what functions
symbolic representation fulls in the construction of gender,
what social roles get legitimized in policy discourse, and
how this affects power constellations, ultimately revealing
much about the relation between symbolic, descriptive, and
substantive representation.

Thomas Waldman, Sultan Barakat, and Andrea Varisco,

Despite the increasing volume of research on state building,
the use and uptake of ndings by those involved in policy-
making remains largely under-examined. As such, the
main themes running through this book relate to issues of
research inuence, use and uptake into policy. It grapples
with problems associated with decision-making dynamics,
knowledge management and the policy process and draws
on concepts and analytical models developed within the
public policy and research utilization literature, from linear
models of instrumental use to the enlightenment function
of research.

Understanding Statebuilding
Traditional Governance and the Modern State
in Somaliland
Rebecca Richards, University of Lancaster, UK
Much analysis of state building focusses on dissecting
specic projects and attempting to identify what has gone
wrong in states such as Afghanistan and Iraq. What draws
less attention is what has gone right in non-interventionist
statebuilding projects within unrecognised states. By
examining this model in more depth a more successful
model of statebuilding emerges in which the end goal of
modern democracy and good governance are more likely to
be realized. Indeed states-within-states such as Somaliland
where external intervention in the statebuilding process is
largely absent can provide vital new lessons.

other military personnel a professional, the warrior archetype
(varied for the various roles and service branches) still holds
sway in the military self-conception, rooted as it is in the
more existential notions of war, honor and meaning. In this
volume, Kaurin uses Achilles as a touch stone for discussing
the warrior, military ethics and the aspects of contemporary
warfare that go by the name of asymmetrical war.

What Should Armies Do?
Armed Forces and Civil Security
John L. Clarke, U.S. Army War College, USA
This volume focuses on two key elements in the North
American and European security debate: the decline of both
the external threats to most North American and European
states, and that of budgetary resources available for defense.
These twin declines are coupled with a desire on the part of
civil leaders to engage the military in more domestic tasks
and the desire of senior military leaders to preserve force
structure, resulting in a dynamic in which civil leaders will
ask their militaries to do more, and military leaders will be
more inclined to say yes. As such, this book focuses on the
enormous increase in the provision of non-military services
and support asked of North American and European military
establishments.

When Care Work Goes Global
Locating the Social Relations of Domestic
Work
Edited by Mary Romero, Arizona State University, USA,
Valerie Preston, York University, Canada and Wenona
Giles, York University, Canada
We know that migration systems link the women who
migrate and the households and organizations that employ
domestic and care workers, but how do these migration
systems work, and more importantly, what are their impacts
on the sending as well as the receiving societies? How do
sending and receiving societies regulate womens migration
for care work and how do these labour market exchanges
take place? How is reproductive labour changed in the
receiving society when it is done by women who are subject
to multifaceted othering/racializing processes? When Care
Work Goes Global seeks to answer these questions.

Religion and Theology
Alternative Islamic Discourses
and Religious Authority
Edited by Carool Kersten, Kings College London, UK
and Susanne Olsson, Sdertrn University, Stockholm,
Sweden
CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD
This book argues that the centre of gravity for alternative
Islamic discourses will continue to shift from the Arabic-
speaking heartland towards the geographical peripheries of
the Muslim world and expatriate Muslims in North America
and Europe. This process has consequences for the question
of authority among Muslims. In view of recent seismic shifts
in the political constellation of the Middle East, the trends
discussed in this book hold important clues for the possible
direction of future developments in that part of the Muslim
world.

Anishinaabe Ways of
Knowing and Being
Lawrence W. Gross, University of Redlands, USA
VITALITY OF INDIGENOUS RELIGIONS
Very few studies have examined the worldview of the
Anishinaabeg from within the culture itself and none have
explored the Anishinaabe worldview in relation to their
efforts to maintain their culture in the present-day world.
Focusing mainly on the Minnesota Anishinaabeg, Gross
explores how their worldview works to create a holistic
way of living, which the Anishinaabeg call the Good Life.
However, as Gross also argues, the Anishinaabeg saw the
end of their world early in the 20th century and experienced
what he calls postapocalypse stress syndrome.

In Being as Communion philosopher and mathematician
William Dembski provides a non-technical overview of

ontology that is at once congenial to science and open to
teleology in nature. All those interested in the intersections
of theology, philosophy and science should read this book.

evangelical tradition to the Great Tradition and in the
process re-appropriates classic concepts that are full of
promise for contemporary ecumenical dialogue.

This book offers a new direction for the study of contemporary
Islam by focusing on what being Muslim means in peoples

not on mosque-going, activist and devout Muslims, but on
those who are nominal believers, or who put their religion
to work in unorthodox ways. As well as offering fresh
empirical studies of everyday lived Islam, the book offers a
new approach which calls for the study of high religion and
everyday popular religion in relation to one another.

Freedom of speech and expression is considered in the
West a high public good and an important social value,
underpinned by legislative and ethical norms. Its importance
is not shared to the same extent by conservative and devout
Muslims, who read Islamic doctrines in ways seemingly
incompatible with Western notions of freedom of speech.
Featuring experts across a spectrum of elds within Islamic
studies, Freedom of Speech and Islam considers Islamic
concepts of blasphemy, apostasy and heresy and their

George Augustus Selwyn
(18091878)
Theological Formation, Life and Work
Robert William Keith Wilson
George Augustus Selwyn (18091878) focuses on Selwyns
theological formation, which places him in the context of
the world of traditional high churchmanship, rather than
the Oxford Movement narrowly conceived. It argues that
his distinctiveness lay in the way in which he was able
to transplant his vision of Anglicanism to the colonial
context. Making use of Selwyns personal correspondence
and papers, as well as his unpublished sermons, the book
analyses his theological formation, his missionary policy,
his role within the formation of the colonial episcopate,
his attitude to conciliar authority and his impact upon the
diocesan revival in England.

John Wesleys Pneumatology
Perceptible Inspiration
Joseph W Cunningham, Saginaw Valley State

ASHGATE METHODIST STUDIES SERIES
Perceptible inspiration, a term used by John Wesley to
describe the complicated relationship between Holy Spirit,
religious knowledge, and the nature of spiritual being, is not
unlike the term Methodist which was also coined by critics of
Methodism during the eighteenth century in Britain. Wesleys
adversaries - especially the pseudonymous John Smith, with
whom Wesley exchanged letters for a period of three years
frequently attacked the plausibility of such a thing as direct
spiritual sensation, which Wesley in turn defended. What
exactly did he mean by perceptible inspiration?

In the digital world, Kierkegaards thought is valuable

Contributing to the debate about Kierkegaards conception

is provocatively to explore how a self becomes Christian,
with aesthetics a dimension of such self-formation. At a
broader level, Jothen also focuses on the role, authority
and meaning of art within religious thought generally and
Christianity in particular.

where they are socially and culturally embedded, this book

Reception of an Anti-Christian Text

Ariane Magny, Thompson Rivers University, Canada
ASHGATE STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY
IN LATE ANTIQUITY
The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation
as the ercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved:
he composed fteen discourses against the Christians, so
offensive that Christian emperors ordered them to be burnt.
We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian
writers to know what Porphyry wrote. Porphyry in Fragments
argues that Porphyrys actual thoughts became mixed with
the thoughts of the Christians who preserved his ideas, as
well as those of other Christian opponents.

Recovering the Female Voice
in Islamic Scripture
Women and Silence
Georgina L. Jardim, University of Gloucestershire, UK
This book nds that far from silencing women, the Qur`an
afrms the female voice as protester for justice and as
questioner of Theology. In this reading of the female role
in divine revelation in the Islamic text, Georgina Jardim
returns to the scriptures of the Judeo-Christian counterpart
of the Abrahamic faiths, to investigate whether the Bible
may claim women as brokers of revelation. The result is an
enriched understanding of divine communication in the
Abrahamic scriptures and a commonplace for reasoning
about the female voice as speaker in the Word of God.

Habermas, that religion and politics share a common mythic
basis and that it is misleading to contrast the rationality
of politics with the irrationality of religion. In contrast to
Richard Dawkins (and New Atheists generally), Martin
argues that the approach taken is brazenly unscientic and
that the proclivity to violence is a shared feature of religion,
nationalism and political ideology alike rooted in the
demands of power and social solidarity.

Religion Italian Style
Continuities and Changes in a Catholic Country
Franco Garelli, University of Turin, Italy
This book argues that the relationship between religion and
society in Italy has unique characteristics when compared
with what is happening in other European Catholic
Countries. Exploring key topics and religious trends which
question how the population feel - from the laity and the role
of religions in the public sphere, to moral debates, forms of
religious pluralism, and new spiritualities Garelli questions
how intricately religion is interwoven with the nations fabric
and the dynamics of the whole society.

Richard Baxters
Reformed Liturgy
A Puritan Alternative to the
Book of Common Prayer
Glen J. Segger, Yale Institute of Sacred Music, USA
LITURGY, WORSHIP AND SOCIETY SERIES
The English Civil War and its aftermath was a time of human
devastation, political uncertainty and religious instability.
The Church of England had not witnessed such liturgical
innovation since Thomas Cranmer, and would not see such
creativity again until the end of the twentieth century at
least in terms of liturgical texts. Segger examines the
theology and ecclesiology of Baxters liturgical opus. While
never approved for public use, the Reformed Liturgy remains
an important and creative liturgy representative of those who
fought for their Puritan convictions, but lost.

The Roots of Religion
Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion
Edited by Roger Trigg, University of Warwick and
University of Oxford, UK and Justin L. Barrett,
Fuller Graduate School of Psychology, USA
ASHGATE SCIENCE AND RELIGION SERIES
The cognitive science of religion is a new discipline
that looks at the roots of religious belief in the cognitive
architecture of the human mind. This book deals with the
philosophical and theological implications of the cognitive
science of religion which grounds religious belief in human
cognitive structures: religious belief is natural, in a way that
even scientic thought is not. Philosophers and theologians
from North America, UK and Australia, explore the alleged
conict between truth claims and examine the roots of
religion in human nature.

Sacred Suicide
Edited by James R. Lewis, University of Troms, Norway

ASHGATE NEW RELIGIONS
The label Suicide Cults has been applied to a wide variety
of different alternative religions, from Jonestown to the Solar
Temple to Heavens Gate. Additionally, observers have asked
if such group suicides are in any way comparable to Islamist
suicide terrorism, or to historical incidents of mass suicide,
such as the mass suicide of the ancient community of Masada.
Offering a valuable perspective on New Religious Movements
and on religion and violence, Sacred Suicide brings together
contributions from a diverse range of international scholars of
sociology, religious studies and criminology.

Sensible Religion
Edited by Christopher Lewis, University of Oxford, UK
and Dan Cohn-Sherbok, University of Wales, UK
The validity of the religious quest is defended across
faiths. Yet it is not only the quest, but also the way in which
religions have developed which is of central signicance.
Their committed followers live ordinary lives in the
mainstream of the world, working out their faith in relation
to life. In Sensible Religion, leading thinkers in world
religions explore how religions are in conversation with
other disciplines, bringing a transcendent perspective to the
discussion. Countering the argument that religion is at root
extremist and irrational, Sensible Religion brings together
thoughtful reections by leading thinkers about humanitys
spiritual quest.

Testing Fresh Expressions
Identity and Transformation
John Walker, Diocese of Canterbury, UK
ASHGATE CONTEMPORARY ECCLESIOLOGY
Testing Fresh Expressions investigates whether fresh
expressions of church really do what is claimed for them
by the fresh expressions movement and, in particular,
whether their unique approach helps to reverse trends
of decline experienced by traditional churches. The book
examines those claims and untangles their sociological and
theological assumptions. From a careful study of factors
underlying attendance decline and growth, Walker argues
that long-term decline can be resisted only if churches are
better able to attract children, the non-churched or both.

Developed by Bruno Latour and his collaborators,

worthy intellectual challenge. It requires us to take the
performativity turn, consider the role of objects in our
analysis and conceptualize all actants (human and non-
human) as relational beings. Thus power is not the property
of one party, but rather it is an effect of the relationships
among actants. Students, academics and policy-makers
will benet from reading this collection in order to explore

Anthropological Explorations

Mark Graham, Stockholm University, Sweden
QUEER INTERVENTIONS
Anthropological Explorations in Queer Theory offers a wide
ranging fusion of queer theory with anthropological theory,
shifting away from the discussion of gender categories and
identities that have often constituted a central concern of
queer theory and instead exploring the queer elements of
contexts in which they are not normally apparent. Engaging
with a number of apparently non-sexual topics, including
embodiment and eldwork, regimes of value, gifts and
commodities, diversity discourses, biological essentialisms,
intersectionality, the philosophy of Bergson and Deleuze,
and the representation of heterosexuality in popular
culture, this book moves to discuss central concerns of
contemporary anthropology, drawing on both the latest
anthropological research as well as classic theories.

THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF MEDIA AND POPULAR CULTURE
Drawing on a range of new media sources, including
websites, chat rooms, blogs and forums, this book

power, with regard to racial hierarchy and social order,
the crisis of traditional American values, the perpetuation
of liberal, feminist, elitist ideas, the degradation of the
family and the fetishization of black men. What emerges
is an understanding of the instruments of power in white
supremacist discourses, in which a series of connections
are drawn between popular culture, multiculturalism, sexual
politics and state functions, all of which are seen to be
working against white men.

Disability and Social Movements
Learning from Australian Experiences
Rachel Carling-Jenkins
INTERDISCIPLINARY DISABILITY STUDIES
This book provides the reader with a ground-breaking
understanding of disability and social movements. By
describing how disability is philosophically, historically,
and theoretically positioned, Carling-Jenkins is able to then
examine disability relationally through an evaluation of the
contributions of groups engaged in similar human rights
struggles. The book locates disability rights as a new social
movement and provides an explanation for why disability
has been divided rather than united in Australia. Finally, it
investigates whether the recent campaign to implement
a national disability insurance scheme represents a re-
emergence of the movement.

challenge the different ways in which social normalcy

illnesses that trouble the practices and relations of human
and social life. Challenging a mere decit-model of illness,
it examines how the cosmopolitics of illness require and
initiate an ethos that cares for difference and diversity.

Female Masochism in Film
Sexuality, Ethics and Aesthetics
Ruth McPhee
FILM PHILOSOPHY AT THE MARGINS
Responses to heterosexual female masochism have ranged
from neglect in theories that focus predominantly or
only upon masochistic sexuality within male subjects, to
condemnation from feminists who regard it as an inverted
expression of patriarchal control rather than a legitimate
form of female desire. It has commonly been understood
as a passive form of sexuality, thus ignoring the potential
for activity and agency that the masochistic position may
involve, which underpins the crucial argument that female
masochism can be conceived as enquiring ethical activity.
Female Masochism in Film avoids these reductive and
simplistic approaches by focusing on the ambivalences and
intricacies of this type of sexuality and subjectivity.

The Festivalization of Culture
Edited by Andy Bennett, Jodie Taylor and Ian Woodward
all at Grifth University, Australia
The Festivalization of Culture explores the links between
various local and global cultures, communities, identities
and lifestyle narratives as they are both constructed and
experienced in the festival context. Drawing on a wide
range of case studies from Australia and Europe, festivals
are examined as sites for the performance and critique
of lifestyle, identity and cultural politics; as vehicles for
the mobilization and cementation of local and global
communities; and as spatio-temporal events that inspire and
determine meaning in peoples lives.

Living Through the In-Between
Bjrn Thomassen, Roskilde University, Denmark
Liminality and the Modern offers a comprehensive

possible uses in social science research and its implications
for our understanding of the uncertainty and contingency of
the liquid structures of modern society.

Searching for New Horizons
Karen Christensen, University of Bergen, Norway and
Ingrid Guldvik, Lillehammer University College, Norway
Cristensen and Guldviks Migrant Care Workers provides
insight to the historical context for public care work and
shows how migration policies, general welfare and long-
term care policies as well as cultural differences in values
in the UK and Norway set the context for how migrant care
workers can realise their individual life projects. The authors
discuss what might be called a new type of migrant one
who is neither a victim of the divide between the global
north and the global south, nor someone leaving family
behind, but individuals using care work as a part of their
own life project of potential self-improvement.

The Poetics of Crime
Understanding and Researching Crime and
Deviance Through Creative Sources
Edited by Michael Hviid Jacobsen, Aalborg University,
Denmark
CLASSICAL AND CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL THEORY
The Poetics of Crime is an invitation to reconsider and
reimagine how criminological knowledge may be creatively
and poetically constructed, obtained, corroborated and
applied. Departing from the conventional understanding
of criminology as a discipline concerned with rened
statistical analyses, survey methods and quantitative
measurements, this book shows that criminology can and
indeed should move beyond such connes to seek sources
of insight, information and knowledge in the unexplored
corners of poetically and creatively inspired approaches and
methodologies.

Racial Prescriptions
Pharmaceuticals, Difference, and the Politics

Jonathan Xavier Inda, University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign, USA
Racial Prescriptions explores the politics of dealing with
health inequities through targeting pharmaceuticals at
specic racial groups based on the idea that they are
genetically different. Drawing on the introduction of
BiDil to treat heart failure among African Americans,
this book contends that while racialized pharmaceuticals
are ostensibly about fostering life, they also raise thorny
questions concerning the biologization of race, the
reproduction of inequality, and the economic exploitation of
the racial body.

Reconguring Citizenship
Social Exclusion and Diversity within
Inclusive Citizenship Practices
Edited by Lena Dominelli, Durham University, UK and
Mehmoona Moosa-Mitha, University of Victoria, Canada
CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL WORK STUDIES
Citizenship as a status assumes that all those encompassed
by the term citizen are included, albeit within the
boundaries of the nation-state. Yet citizenship practices can
be both inclusionary and exclusionary, with far-reaching
ramications for both nationals and non-nationals. This
volume explores the concept of citizenship and its practices
within particular contexts and nation-states to identify
whether its claims to inclusivity are justied. This will show
whether the exclusionary dimensions experienced by some
citizens and non-citizens are linked to deciencies in the
concept, country-specic policies or how it is practiced in
different contexts.

inquiry, reexive ethnography and video analysis, which
have hitherto existed in parallel, Respecifying Lab
Ethnography introduces a practice-based video analysis.
In doing so, the book recasts conventional distinctions to
shed fresh light on methodological issues surrounding the

The Origins and Interactions of the Clean

Drawing on insights from qualitative eldwork using a

the emergence of the Clean Clothes Campaign back to
the rise of consumer campaigns and shows how tactics
were adapted to market contexts in order to have retailers
adopt and monitor codes of conduct. By comparing the
interactions between campaigners and their corporate
targets in Switzerland and France (two countries with a
very different history of consumer mobilization for political
issues), this ground-breaking book also reveals how one
campaign can provoke contrasting reactions and forms of
market change.

Theorising the Practice of
Community Development
A South African Perspective
Peter Westoby, University of the Free State, South Africa

By examining community development stories as
experienced on the ground, Westoby is able to show how
the poor are organising themselves using various forms
of community development as well as demonstrating how
the state and non-state actors are attempting to organise,
engage or accompany the poor through community
development. The book also breaks new ground in
theorising the practice of community development, drawing
inductively from the stories analysed. Theorising the
Practice of Community Development draws upon a unique
analytical framework to help illuminate current community
development policy and programme challenges, along with
practice dilemmas and wisdom.
