The Architecture Chronicle

Changing Paradigms in Industrial

Jan Kattein, University College London, UK
Edited by Mathew Aitchison, University of Queensland,

Australia
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 define 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.

Ashgate Studies in Architecture
Camera Constructs
After two decades which saw the construction industry

flourish, has come a sudden period of instability, where
architecture firms 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.

Graffiti, Street Art and the Parergon
Camera Constructs reflects critically on the varied

interactions of the different practices by which
photographers, artists, architects, theorists and historians
engage with the relationship of the camera to architecture,
the city and the evolution of Modernism. Including twentythree essays by a wide range of historians and theorists
this book provides a rich and highly original analysis of the
relationship of photography to built form from the early
modern period to the present day.

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 definition (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.

Rafael Schacter, University College London, UK

Based on an in-depth ethnographic study working with
some of the worlds most influential 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
Nature inheres in many aesthetic forms of expression. In
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 fields 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 profile
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
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 clarified
the vital role of tradition in modern architecture as he
experimented with domestic space. His cohort defied 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.

Urban Revolution Now
Henri Lefebvre in Social Research and

Architecture
Focusing on the Ghetto Fighters House, the worlds first

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.

Edited by Lukasz Stanek, University of Manchester, UK,

Christian Schmid and kos Moravnszky, both at
ETH Zrich, Switzerland
In an era when the tendency identified by Lefebvre in his
1970 work The Urban Revolution has become reality, this
interdisciplinary book brings together some of the leading
thinkers including Neil Brenner, Edward J. Soja, Eric
Swyngedouw and Christine Boyer to draw a general picture
of the global processes of urbanization today. Gathering
together a range of studies from across the globe, the
common denoominator are Lefebvres concepts, such as
the production of space, perceived, conceived, and lived
space, right to the city, differential space, centrality, and
everyday life, which are developed beyond the context of
their original formulation.

Animals and Early Modern Identity
Edited by Pia F. Cuneo, University of Arizona, USA
What roles did animals play in the construction of early
modern identities? In this volume, international scholars
working in the disciplines of history, art history and literature
provide suggestive and probing answers. Their essays
investigate how animals horses, dogs, pigs, fish, cattle,
sheep, birds, rhinoceroses, even sea-monsters and other
creatures served people in Europe, England, the Americas
and Africa to defend, contest or transcend the boundaries of
early modern identities.

Edited by Nicholas Temple, University of Huddersfield,

UK, John Shannon Hendrix, University of Lincoln, UK
and Christian Frost, Birmingham City University, UK
Bishop Robert Grosseteste and Lincoln Cathedral is an
in-depth investigation of Grossetestes relationship to
the medieval cathedral at Lincoln and the surrounding
city. This book will contribute to the understanding of
Gothic architecture in early 13th-century England most
specifically, how forms and spaces were conceived in
relation to the cultural, religious and political life of the
period. The essays make an important contribution to
our understanding of the relation between architecture,
theology, politics and society during the Middle Ages, and
how religious spaces were conceived and experienced.

This collection of fourteen essays by distinguished art

and cultural historians examine points of similarity and
difference in British and American art collecting. Half the
essays examine the trends that dominated the British art
collecting scene of the nineteenth century. Others focus on
American collectors, using biographical sketches and case
studies to demonstrate how collectors in the United States
embellished the British model to develop their own, often
philanthropic approach to art collecting.

Situating the Danish artist Asger Jorns work in an

international, post-World War II context, Karen Kurczynski
offers an account of the essential phases of this prolific
artists career, and addresses his works in various media
alongside his extensive writings and collaborations.
The study reframes our understanding of the 1950s, and
foregrounds the idea that the sensory address of art and its
complex relationship to popular media can have a direct
social and political impact.

The Art of the Sister Chapel

Exemplary Women, Visionary Creators,
and Feminist Collaboration
Andrew D. Hottle, Rowan University, USA
The Sister Chapel (197478) was an important collaborative
installation that materialized at the height of the womens
art movement. It consisted of an eighteen-foot ceiling that
hung above eleven canvases each depicting the figure
of a heroic woman portrayed by distinguished New York
painters. Based on previously-unpublished archival material,
this study details the fascinating history of The Sister
Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its ambitious creators.

Edited by Sara F. Matthews-Grieco, Syracuse University,

Edited by Adrienne L. Childs, Harvard University, USA

and Susan H. Libby, Rollins College, USA
Visual Culture in Early Modernity
Compelling and troubling, colourful and dark, black

figures 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.
In Renaissance and early modern Europe, various

constellations of phenomena ranging from sex scandals
to legal debates to flurries of satirical prints collectively
demonstrate an increased concern with cuckoldry,
impotence and adultery. Deploying analytical tools from a
range of disciplines, these essays interrogate and explore
those phenomena to reveal the central importance of
sexuality and sexual metaphor for our understanding of
European history, politics and culture.

British Art: Histories and Interpretations since 1700
Rooted in the study of objects, this book addresses the role

of art and visual culture in discourses surrounding nuclear
science and technology, atomic power, and nuclear warfare
in Cold War Britain. Far from insular in its concerns, this
volume draws upon cross-cultural dialogues between British
and European artists and the relationship between Britain
and America to engage with an interdisciplinary art history
that will also prove useful to researchers in a variety of
fields including European history, politics, design history,
anthropology, and media.

Body in European Art, 13001650
Edited by John R. Decker, Georgia State University, USA
and Mitzi-Kirkland Ives, Missouri State University, USA
Bodies mangled, limbs broken, skin flayed, 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
social functions that pain, suffering, and the desecration of
the human form played in European society.

Iron, Ornament and Architecture

Max Klinger and

Wilhelmine Culture
Myth and Modernity, Excess and

Enchantment
On the Threshold of German Modernism
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 flourished. As
such, it offers new ways of understanding the notion of
modernity in Victorian architecture.

Edited by Kimberly A. Smith, Southwestern University,

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.

During his lifetime, the work of architect George Hadfield
(17631826) was highly regarded, both in England and
the United States. Since his death, however, Hadfields
contributions to architecture have slowly faded from view,
and few of his buildings survive. In order to reassess
Hadfields career and work, this book draws upon a wide
selection of written and visual sources to reconstruct his
life and legacy.

Leon Battista Alberti

Towards an Epistemology of Vision for

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.

Patricia Blessing, Stanford University, USA
Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies: CS17
Beginning with the Mongol conquest of Anatolia in 1243,

and ending with the demise of the Ilkhanid Empire in the
1330s, this book considers how the integration of Anatolia
into the Mongol world system transformed architecture
and patronage in this frontier region. Blessing considers
the monuments built during this period alongside written
sources in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. In doing so, she
untangles the narratives of architecture, history and religion
and provides a broader understanding of the interaction of
identities in the medieval Middle East.

The Expressionist Turn

in Art History
In this book, the first full-length study of its kind in English,

Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift
from tradition to innovation in the Wilhelmine Empire (1870s
1880s) more compellingly than Max Klinger. Morton makes
an interdisciplinary examination of Klingers early prints and
drawings within the context of Wilhelmine transformations,
coming to the conclusion that the artists work revealed
the psychological and biological underpinnings of modern
rational man whose drives and passions undermined
bourgeois constructions of society.

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 figure 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.

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 edifice
from the perspective of aesthetics to define 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.

Sculpting Simulacra in

Sculpture and Touch
The Spiritual Rococo
Edited by Peter Dent, University of Bristol, UK
Assaf Pinkus, Tel Aviv University, Israel
Subject/Object: New Studies in Sculpture
Decor and Divinity from the Salons of

Paris to the Missions of Patagonia
This book constitutes the first art-historical attempt to

theorize the idiosyncratic character of German Gothic
sculpture and trace the high and late medieval notions of the
living statue and the simulacrum in religious, lay and travel
literature. In addressing a range of works, from the oeuvre
of the Naumburg Master through Freiburg-im-Breisgau to
the imperial art of Vienna and Prague, Pinkus offers a new
understanding of the function, production, and use of threedimensional images in late-medieval Germany.
This book introduces a new impetus to the discussion of

the relationship between touch and sculpture by setting up
a dialogue between art historians and individuals who are
working in disciplines beyond art history. The collection
brings together a diverse set of approaches, with essays
tackling subjects from prehistoric figurines to the work of
contemporary artists, from pre-modern ideas about the
physiology of touch to tactile interaction in the museum,
and from the phenomenology of touch in philosophy to the
findings of scientific study.

Challenging perceptions of sculpture and the autonomous

scholarship, to establish how the selective study of his oeuvre
in particular, has obscured our understanding of French
nineteenth-century sculpture. Drawing on new archival
sources, sculptors and objects, this is the first sustained
study of how and why French sculptors collaborated with
state and private luxury goods manufacturers between
1848 and 1895. By contesting the false separation of art from
industry, Claire Joness study restores the importance of the
sculptor-manufacturer relationship, and of the decorative, to

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 finish 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 specific
cultural effects, this book represents the first time a scholar
has looked at tacheism as a hidden continuum within
modern art.

Writing Fashion in
Early Modern Italy
Louisa Iarocci, University of Washington, USA
Lindsay J. Twa, Augustana College, Sioux Falls, USA
From Sprezzatura to Satire
Between the mid nineteenth century and the 1930s, the urban
department store arose as a built artifact and as a social
institution in the United States. While the physical building
type is the foundation of this comprehensive architectural
study, Iarocci reaches beyond the analysis of the brick and
mortar to reconsider how the spaces of selling were culturallyproduced spaces, as well as the product of interrelated
economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces.
From the 1910s until the 1950s the Caribbean nation of

Haiti drew the attention of many U.S. literary and artistic
luminaries, yet while significant studies have been published
on Haitis history, none analyze visual representations with
any depth. This book argues that choosing Haiti as subject
matter was a highly charged decision by American artists
to use their artwork to engage racial, social, and political
issues. Twa scrutinizes photographs, illustrations, paintings,
and theatre as well as textual and archival sources.

Focusing on images of or produced by nineteenth-century

as resistant to easy codification vis--vis the public.
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 definitions of both femininity and the
public were mutually defining and constantly shifting.

Playfulness and Freedom in the Artwork of

Galit Aviman, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and

This book explores the playfulness and free-spirited attitude
reflected in the artwork of two prominent Japanese Zen

Gibon (17501837). Aviman elaborates on the nature of this
particular artistic expression and identifies its sources,
focusing on the lives of the monk-painters and their artwork.
The author applies a multifaceted approach, combining
a holistic analysis of the paintings with contextualization
of the artwork within the specific historical, art historical,
cultural, social and political environments in which they
were created during the Edo period.

Every day human organisations fail. Building Anti-Fragile

Organisations explores a powerful alternative framework for
risk in design and management of human systems. AntiFragile 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 identifies 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.

Complex Adaptive Leadership

Embracing Paradox and Uncertainty
Second Edition
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 benefit. 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.

Cyber Security Management
The Digital Renaissance of Work
A Governance, Risk and Compliance

Framework
Delivering Digital Workplaces Fit for the Future

Paul Miller and Elizabeth Marsh
Peter Trim, University of London, UK, Yang-Im Lee,

University of Westminster, UK
Cyber Security Management places security management in
a holistic context and outlines how the strategic marketing
approach can be used to underpin cyber security in
partnership arrangements. The book is unique because it
integrates material that is of a highly specialized nature
but which can be interpreted by those with a non-specialist
background in the area. Indeed, those with a limited
knowledge of cyber security will be able to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the subject and will be
guided into devising and implementing relevant policy,
systems and procedures that make the organization better
able to withstand the increasingly sophisticated forms of
cyber attack.

Family Businesses
Industrial Poverty
Enterprise, Ethnicity and Family Dynamics
Knowledge Management in

Yesterday Sweden, Today Europe,

Tomorrow America
Enhancing Research, Development and

Manufacturing Performance
Daphne Halkias and Christian Adendorff
Sven R. Larson
Conservative estimates put the proportion of worldwide

business enterprises owned or managed by families at 65%.
The importance of family businesses to the economies of both
developed and developing countries cannot be ignored.
Governance in Immigrant Family Businesses is an important
book, it explores the relationship between ethnic cultural
influence in family businesses and its impact on corporate
governance, addressing the intertwined influences of
contractual, relational and cultural governance mechanisms
and sets out a comprehensive theoretical model which
clarifies the complexities involved in business planning, family
harmony, and ethnic cultural variables. The authors specifically
identify the implications for research, education, and practice.
Application of their model will be of value to policy makers,
consultants, business researchers and educators.
Conventional wisdom says that Europes crisis is a financial

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 deficit.

Integral Green Zimbabwe
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 benefits 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 specific worldview, certain gifts
manifest. These are called Human Niches. Here, Inclusivity
is positioned as a radical transformational methodology
with the purpose of unleashing the benefits 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.

Integrated Assurance
Risk Governance Beyond Boundaries
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 reflect 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.

Terry A. Sheridan
In Managerial Fraud, Terry Sheridan reports the findings of
her study of fraudulent executives. Her work illuminates
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.

In Multipreneurship, Nick Harkiolakis argues against the

more commonly held view that diversification 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 diversification perspective
by presenting cases from around the world to highlight
the success factors attending diversification and the
personal and professional entrepreneurial attributes that
lead to successful and sustainable ventures. In so doing,
Harkiolakis provides a framework for diversification as a
means of achieving sustainable development.

a process of strategic planning that in many organizations
is often sporadic, biased, poorly articulated and rarely

The author of Successful Outsourcing and Multi-Sourcing is

a practitioner heading an operation that handles 400 million
customer contacts a year with less than 30 staff, through
both outsourcing and multi-sourcing. As well a focus on
multi-sourcing, the book addresses the question of why
a business should outsource in the first place and how
decisions to do this should be strategic, rather than it being
something that happens by accident. This book serves as
a valuable source of practical guidance for organisations
looking at outsourcing strategy, outsourcing professionals,
and those teaching or studying business topics.

The Single-Minded Project offers an approach to project

management that is entirely complementary to the existing
methodologies; one that recognises that at its heart, the
management of a project relies on the perceived choices
and methods, behaviours and decision-making of its players
and the freedom of action that is permitted to the project
regime. It fills in the gaps where the methodology doesnt
provide any kind of response to questions such as how fast
should we deliver this project and how much diligence
is appropriate in our decision-making. It recognises that
performance ultimately rests on human knowledge, resolve,
skill and collaboration.

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 difficulties 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.

From R&D to Desirable Products
Gerry Randell, Bradford University, UK and John Toplis
Annotated Sample Contract Forms
John S. Sheldrake, Imperial College, London, UK

Technology, Business and the Market provides an
understanding of the connections between developing
technologies, research and development, industrial design
and the means by which these elements are managed
to produce desirable products. John Sheldrakes long
experience of teaching business and management to
engineers has highlighted a gap in the knowledge of students
and practitioners alike, between their grasp of developments
in science and technology and then how these developments
lead to the creation of successful products. Using case
studies examining the impact of new materials, techniques
and technologies, this book explores the linkages between
innovation, entrepreneurship, business (including finance),
design, manufacturing, branding and marketing.

In Time Series Analysis and Adjustment the authors explain
how the last four decades have brought dramatic changes
in the way researchers analyze economic and financial
data on behalf of economic and financial institutions and to
provide statistics. An understanding of time series and the
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 efficaciously 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 first known
published study to really deal with this issue of context.

Towards Organizational Fitness is about the people who

work in organizations and addresses two main issues:
firstly, how to investigate and manage problems involving
people at work; secondly, how to assess and develop the
capability and fitness 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.

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 chiefly as a firebrand 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 influential member of a pan-European humanist network.

Heterodox Religious Identities in Britain,

16501800
Edited by Wayne Hudson, Charles Sturt University,
Australia, Diego Lucci, American University in Bulgaria
and Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth, Red Deer College, Canada
In the seventeenth and eighteenth century the terms
atheism and deism involved fine distinctions that have
not always been preserved by later scholars. The original
deployment and usage of these terms were often more
complicated than much of the historical scholarship
suggests. Offering new perspectives on a range of prominent
figures, this collection problematises the older view that
individuals were atheist or deists in a straightforward sense
and instead explores the plurality and flexibility of religious
identities during this period.

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 conflicting 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.

Crusades covers seven hundred years from the First Crusade

(10951102) to the fall of Malta (1798) drawing together
scholars working on war, theology, law, literature, art,
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.

Cosmo Innes and the Defence

of Scotlands Past c. 18251875
Essays on William of Tyre, Cyprus and the

Military Orders presented to Peter Edbury
Edited by Susan B. Edgington, University of London, UK
and Helen J. Nicholson, Cardiff University, UK
Richard A. Marsden, Cardiff University, UK
Crusades Subsidia
The antiquary Cosmo Innes (17981874) was a prolific

editor of medieval and early modern documents relating to
Scotlands parliament, legal system, burghs, universities,
aristocratic families and pre-Reformation church. This book,
which analyses Inness work and provides sources, opens a
window onto the ways in which Scottish identity and ideas
about the national past were perceived in Scotland during
the nineteenth century, a period when union with England
was all but unquestioned.
This volume celebrates Peter Edburys career by bringing

together essays focusing on his major research interests;
the great historian of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, William
of Tyre, and his chronicle; medieval Cyprus; and the
Military Orders in the Middle Ages. All based on original
research, contributions include new work on manuscripts
from the twelfth to the seventeenth centuries; studies of
language in William of Tyre; thematic surveys; legal and
commercial investigations pertaining to Cyprus; aspects of
memorialisation, and biographical studies.

Crusades Subsidia
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.
This collection, which brings together a selection of

Alexandra Walshams essays written over the last fifteen
years, examines key aspects of the evolution and experience
of the Catholic communities of post-Reformation Britain.
Rejecting an earlier preoccupation with recusants and
martyrs, it highlights the importance of those who
conformed with the ecclesiastical establishment and
explores the moral and political dilemmas that confronted
the clergy and laity. It reassesses the significance of the
Counter Reformation as an evangelical enterprise; analyses
its communication strategies; and illuminates how Catholic
ritual life adapted itself to a climate of repression.

Contributions to the Theory of the Emblem
Studies in Early Medieval Britain and Ireland
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.
Studies in Memory of Mark Blackburn
Edited by Kerstin Hundahl, Lund University, Sweden,

Lars Kjr, New College of the Humanities, UK and
Niels Lund, Copenhagen University, Denmark
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.

Dreaming in Byzantium
and Beyond
Edited by Christine Angelidi and George T. Calofonos,
both at Institute of Historical Research / NHRF, Greece
This book the first collection of studies on Byzantine
dreams to be published aims to demonstrate the
importance of closely examining dreams in Byzantium
in their wider historical and cultural, as well as narrative,
context. The remarkable number of dream narratives
in Byzantine hagiography, historiography, rhetoric,
epistolography, and romance attests to the cardinal function
of dreams as vehicles of meaning in politics, religion and
literature. The essays provide a broad variety of perspectives,
exploring gender, eroticism, Greco-Roman and Islamic
influences, psychoanalysis and anthropology.

Dressing Judeans and

Christians in Antiquity
Edited by Kristi Upson-Saia, Occidental College, USA,
Carly Daniel-Hughes, Concordia University, Canada
and Alicia J. Batten, Conrad Grebel University College,
Canada
This volume aims to understand religious aspects of
dress in the ancient world by examining a diverse range of
religious sources, including literature, art, performance,
coinage, economic markets, and memories. Contributors
demonstrate how dress developed as a topos within Judean
and Christian rhetoric, symbolism, and performance, and
show how religious meanings were entangled with other
social logics, revealing the many layers of meaning attached
to ancient dress, as well as the extent to which dress was
implicated in numerous domains of religious life.

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 conflict 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.

This is the first detailed study of the role of the Church in the
commercialization of milling in medieval England. Focusing
on the period from the late eleventh to the mid sixteenth
centuries, it examines the estate management practices of
more than thirty English religious houses founded by the
Benedictines, Cistercians, Augustinians and other minor
orders, with an emphasis on the role played by mills and
milling in the establishment and development of a range of
different sized episcopal and conventual foundations.

Court and Frontier in Byzantium during
the Last Phase of Iconoclasm
Juan Signes Codoer, University of Valladolid, Spain
Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies: CS13
This book focuses on the impact of political relations with

the East, especially the Muslim caliphate, on the reign of the
last iconoclast emperor of Byzantium, Theophilos (829842),
reinterpreting the major events of the period and their
chronology. Separate sections are devoted to the influence
of Armenians at the court, the enrolment of Persian rebels
against the caliphate in the Byzantine army, the continuous
warfare with the Arabs and the cultural exchange with
Baghdad, the Khazar problem, and the attitude of the
Christian Melkites towards the iconoclast emperor. The final
chapter reassesses the image of the emperor as a good ruler,
building on the conclusions of the previous sections.

Englands Fortress
New Perspectives on Thomas, 3rd Lord Fairfax
Edited by Andrew Hopper, University of Leicester, UK
and Philip Major, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
Overshadowed in the popular imagination by the figure
of Oliver Cromwell, historians are increasingly coming to
recognise the importance of Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Lord Fairfax
of Cameron, in shaping the events of mid-seventeenthcentury Britain. As a military and political figure he played
a central role in defeating Charles I and supporting the
restoration of Charles II in 1660. This book shines new light
on this significant figure through a selection of essays
addressing a wide range of topics, from Fairfaxs role as
soldier and statesman, to his life as husband and scholar.

The persecution of the Huguenots in France, followed by

the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, unleashed
one of the largest migration waves of early modern Europe.
Focusing on the fate of French Protestants who fled to the
Dutch Republic, Experiencing Exile examines how Huguenot
refugees dealt with the complex realities of living as
strangers abroad, and how they seized upon religion and
stories of their own past to comfort them in exile.

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-official 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.

Science, Technology and Culture, 17001945
Translation and Commentary
Working from original documents consulted for the first

time, Brian Gee has uncovered the life and times of an
eighteenth-century mathematical and optical instrument
maker, Francis Watkins, who played an important role in one
of the most significant legal cases to touch this profession,
the patenting of the achromatic lens in telescopes. The
book explains Watkins origins and his partnership with the
Dollond firm, who are shown to have been hard-headed and
ruthless, before accounting for Watkins successors and
their ultimate decline.

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.

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 fill 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.

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 influenced
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.

witnessing a growth in trade and consumerism, the majority

this book explores the local economy and waterborne trades

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.

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.

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 significant contextual dissimilarities;
and what, if any, relationships between the respective styles
of democracy can be identified? Using a variety of theories,
perspectives and methods, the empirical studies that
populate the book seek to offer reflections on these questions.

John Woodland
Modern Economic and Social History
Between 1849 and 1853, shares in nearly 120 public

companies to exploit the booming goldfields 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 first detailed investigation of the British gold
bubble companies and their involvement in the almost
simultaneous gold rushes on both sides of the Pacific.

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 aedificandi
(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, film-makers, politicians and town-planners.

and the ethnic press to explore how the city responded to its
role in the War, from the outbreak in August 1914, through
the official entry of the U.S. in to the war in 1917, and after
the cessation of hostilities in memorials to the conflict.

The Paris Zone
Britains Fear of the Bomber, 19081941

Brett Holman, University of New England, Australia
In the early twentieth century, the technology of flight
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 first 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.

Probate inventories provide an unparalleled glimpse into

the lives of the inhabitants of early modern England, as well
as the rich diversity and value of domestic material culture.
Further, they enable scholars to reconstruct the social and
business networks that are crucial for understanding the
period. By offering an introduction to and transcriptions
of probate inventories, this book provides a new resource
for those interested in the early modern household, material
culture studies, and the domestic lives of the Huguenot
refugees.
The essays contained in this volume examine the particular

religious experiences of women within a remarkably vibrant
and formative era in British religious history. Scholars from
the disciplines of history, literary studies and theology
assess womens contributions to renewal, change, and
reform; and consider the ways in which women negotiated
institutional and intellectual boundaries. The volume refocuses scholarly approaches to the history of gender and
the history of feminism by setting the British writers often
characterised as early feminists in their theological and
spiritual traditions.

Public Religious Disputation

Religious Conversion
Joshua Rodda, University of Nottingham, UK
Edited by Ira Katznelson, Columbia University, USA

and Miri Rubin, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Caucasia and the Iranian Commonwealth

in Late Antique Georgian Literature
This collection ranges far and wide from early Christian

pilgrims to fifteenth-century Ethiopia; from the Islamisation
of the eastern Mediterranean to Reformation Germany
to investigate the multiple causes and characteristics
of religious conversion. By probing continuities and
fissures, particularly in the Jewish, Muslim and Christian
experiences, the volume extends the range of conversion
to focus on matters less commonly examined, such as the
meaning of sacred space, bodies, gender, and the ways
conversion has been understood and narrated.
Georgian literary sources for Late Antiquity are commonly

held to be later productions devoid of historical value. As
a result, scholarship outside the Republic of Georgia has
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
antique attitudes and outlooks.

With a focus on England from the accession of Elizabeth I

to the mid-1620s, this book examines the practice of public,
academic religious disputation between opposing Catholic,
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

University, UK and David Luscombe, The University
of Sheffield, UK
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
influence 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.

In the early 1690s, Roger Norths search for truth and the
knowledge of human nature was interrupted by three events:
his reading of Newtons books on mechanics and optics; his
correspondence with the Norfolk clergyman Samuel Clarke;
and his reading and response to Clarkes new publication
on the philosophy of the Godhead. Kassler details the
challenges that these events presented to Norths values,
and includes editions of Norths notes on Newtons books.

Shifting Genres in Late Antiquity
And so began the Irish Nation
Edited by Geoffrey Greatrex, University of Ottawa,

with the assistance of Lucas McMahon
Nationality, National Consciousness and

Nationalism in Pre-modern Ireland
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 flexibility 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.

Day tournaments held annually before London crowds
of more than 8,000 people, was Lieutenant of Elizabeths
palace at Woodstock, and Master of the Armoury at the
Tower of London during the Spanish Armada. This is the
only biography of Sir Henry Lee in print, and explores the
interaction of politics, culture and society of the Elizabethan
court through the eyes of a popular and long-serving courtier.

Strategy and Policy for Small Navies

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
scientific investigations of death. Sudden Death explores
how a new scientific interpretation of death first came into
being, and led the way to a belief in the conquest of death
by medicine which remains to this day.

Responding to this spatial turn in the humanities, the
essays collected here generate new ideas about how
medieval space was defined, 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

Suzanne Nol: Cosmetic Surgery,

Feminism and Beauty in Early

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 field and a firm believer in the advancement
of women. Today her views on the benefits of aesthetic
surgery to women may seem at odds with her feminist
principles, but by placing Nol in the context of turn-of-thecentury 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 confined 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 offices.

Edited by Carine Berbri and Monia OBrien Castro,

Thirty years after the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland
Islands, the war remains a source of continued debate and
analysis for politicians, historians and military strategists.
Not only did the conflict provide a fascinating example of
modern expeditionary warfare, but it also brought to the fore
numerous questions regarding international law, sovereignty,
the inheritance of colonialism, the influence of history on
national policy and the use of military force for domestic
political uses. As the essays in this collection show, the
numerous facets of the Falklands War remain current today
and have ramifications far beyond the South Atlantic.

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
development and draws conclusion that have implications

The Worlds of Eastern Christianity, 3001500: CS14
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.
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-definition. Included in the
volume is an extensive bibliography on the topic of Eastern
Christian self-understanding.

By the mid-twelfth century the lands on the eastern coast

of the Baltic Sea, from Finland to the frontiers of Poland,
were Catholic Europes final frontier: a vast, undeveloped
expanse of lowlands, forest and waters, inhabited by
peoples belonging to the Finnic and Baltic language groups.
This volume presents 21 key studies (2 of them translated
from German for the first time) on this crucial period in
the development of North-Eastern Europe, dealing with
crusade and conversion, the establishment of Western rule,
settlement and society, and the development of towns, trade
and the economy. It includes a classified bibliography of the
main works published in Western languages since World
War II together with an introduction by the editor.

The Papacy, Frederick II

and Communal Devotion
in Medieval Italy
James M. Powell, formerly Syracuse University, USA,
edited by Edward Peters, University of Pennsylvania, USA
The twenty-five essays in this volume four of which are

published here for the first time represent the work of a
great scholar in Mediterranean history. In an age often called
that of papal monarchy and secular-minded rulers, Powell
found popes with complex agendas and extensive pastoral
concerns, a rather more Christian Frederick II, the mechanics
of the Fifth Crusade, the sermons of the devout urban layman
Albertanus of Brescia, and Muslims under Christian rule.

Absent Aviators
Air Transport in the Asia Pacific
Gender Issues in Aviation
Edited by David Timothy Duval, University of Winnipeg,

Canada
Edited by Donna Bridges, Charles Sturt University,

Australia, Jane Neal-Smith, London Metropolitan
Business School, UK and Albert J. Mills,
St Marys University, Canada
Absent Aviators consolidates a diverse range of issues from a
number of authors from Australia, Austria, the United States,
Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Each of the
chapters is research-based and aims to present a broad
picture of gender issues in aviation, gendered workplaces
and sociology, underpinned by sound theoretical perspectives
and methodologies. The book will prove to be a valuable
contribution to the debates on women in masculine-oriented
occupations and a practical guide for the aviation industry to
help overcome the looming shortfall of pilots.

What was once a region in the shadow of larger and more

prosperous continents such as North America and Europe is
now at the forefront of expansion in commercial air-service
networks, frequency and capacity, and the overall growth in
the contribution of air transport to economies on regional
and, in many cases, individual country levels. Despite this,
it represents an area that is generally under-represented
in the commercial air-transport academic literature. Air
Transport in the Asia Pacific seeks to fill this gap. While one
volume cannot realistically address the complete range
of identifiable issues, this book offers a contemporary
snapshot of current academic research into commercial air
transport in the Asia Pacific.

Designing Future-Oriented Airline Businesses is the eighth
Ashgate book by Nawal K. Taneja to address the ongoing
challenges and opportunities facing all generations of airlines.
Firstly, it challenges and encourages airline managements to
take a deeper dive into new ways of doing business. Secondly,
it provides a framework for identifying and developing
strategies and capabilities, as well as executing them efficiently
and effectively, to change the focus from cost reduction to
revenue enhancement and from competitive advantage to
comparative advantage. The material presented continues
to be at a pragmatic level, not an academic exercise, to lead
managements to ask themselves and their teams some critical
thought-provoking questions.

Human Factors Challenges in

Emergency Management
Enhancing Individual and Team Performance
in Fire and Emergency Services
Edited by Christine Owen, University of Tasmania,
Australia
The fire and emergency services is a particularly large
industry in Australia alone it employs 250,000 personnel
yet there is very little by way of published human
factors books addressing this sector directly. This book
provides an overview of state-of-the-art research that
has been conducted within Australia, funded by the
Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre. As Karl Weick once
commented, emergency events do not play by the rules and
these research chapters tell us something about a potential
future world of work that is highly dynamic, interdependent
and for which improvisation and critical thinking and
problem-solving are necessary pre-requisites.

Providing an integrated perspective on why, how and

for whom nature conservation practices have been

protection in them, this work challenges the dichotomy
between developed and developing countries that pervades
much of the academic literature on nature protection.

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,

and architecture, the volume provides a comprehensive and

Heritage, Culture and Identity
Ben Anderson, Durham University, UK
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.

Capacities, Apparatuses, Conditions

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 nonrepresentational theories, he argues that affective life is
always-already mediated the never finished 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 significance 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.

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
configuration 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.

How Outer Space Made America
Edited by Andrew R. Goetz, University of Denver, USA

and Lucy Budd, Loughborough University, UK
Geography, Organization and

the Cosmic Sublime
Transport and Mobility
Daniel Sage, Loughborough University, UK
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,
it updates the seminal contributions of Eva Taylor (1945),
Kenneth Sealy (1957), Brian Graham (1995) to the study of
air transport geography. Leading scholars in the field offer a
unique insight into the key developments that have occurred
in the field and the implications that these developments
have had for geography, geographers, and global patterns of
past, present and future air transport.
In this innovatory book Daniel Sage analyses how and why

American space exploration reproduced and transformed
American cultural and political imaginations by appealing
to, and to an extent organising, the transcendence of spatial
and temporal frontiers. While largely engaging with the
historical development of space exploration, it shows how
contemporary cultural and social, and indeed geographical,
research themes, including national identity, critical
geopolitics, gender, technocracy, trauma and memory,
can be informed by the study of space exploration.

The Collaborative Moment

Edited by Paul Sillitoe, Durham University, UK
Advancing the rising field of engaged or participatory
anthropology that is emerging at the same time as increased
opposition from Indigenous peoples to research, this book
offers critical reflections on research approaches to-date.
The engaged approach seeks to change the researcherresearched relationship fundamentally, to make methods
more appropriate and beneficial to communities by involving
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.

This book reconnects class and the urban through an
ethnographically detailed analysis of a neighbourhood
undergoing gentrification which historicises class formation,
critiques policy processes and offers a new sociological
insight into gentrification from the perspective of workingclass residents This ethnography of everyday working-class
neighbourhood life in the UK serves to challenge denigrated
depictions which are used to justify the use of gentrificationbased restructuring. By exploring the relationship between
urban processes and working-class communities via
gentrification, it reveals the hidden rewards as well as the
hidden injuries of class in post-industrial neighbourhoods.

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 officials, executives in
urban companies, researchers and students.

it evaluates each mechanisms performance focusing on
aspects such as equity, revenue-generating potential, the
institutional capacity required to design and implement the
mechanisms, stakeholder support for these mechanisms,
and the legal and policy environment. Although the book
focuses on the US, the use of the VC mechanisms and
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.

Transport and Society
Based on in-depth empirical research this book develops

our understanding of maritime transport costs, the maritime
industry and the competitiveness of regions in a global
market environment through a geographical lens. Further, the
book uses a unique set of data that gives an extensive insight
into Latin American international maritime transport costs
and its determinants. This is a clear call for policy makers
and port authorities to strengthen transnational cooperation
in order to improve the development of the whole system of
maritime transport, focusing on the causes that put regions at
risk of becoming peripheral and uncompetitive.

An Introduction to Landscape
and Garden Design and Practice
Second Edition
James Blake
How do you design a landscape book suitable for its
intended uses? How can the natural qualities of a landscape

you make pedestrians stay on the footpath? What kind of
plant, path or wall should you put where, and what sort of
contract should you choose for your clients contractor?
This refreshing, down-to-earth book answers these
questions, guiding new students through the many facets of
professional practice and welding together the artistic, legal,
financial, environmental and management issues which can
seem so dauntingly disconnected.

The Life of the City is a bold and innovative reassessment

of the early urban avant-garde movements that sought
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.
This book shows how urban design can complement other

disciplines when tackling the complex task of understanding
and improving the built environments public realm. It also
bridges the gap between theory and practice as it draws
from empirical research to suggest more quantitative
approaches towards auditing and improving public places.
By seeing where and why certain public places fail, direct
and informed interventions can be made to improve them
and through this contribute to the building of more attractive
and sustainable cities.

Current Developments in the Geographies of

Leisure and Tourism
This book highlights the crossroads between concepts

of lifestyle and the growing body of work on mobilities.
The study of lifestyle offers a lens through which to study
the kinds of moorings, dwellings, repetitions and routines
around which mobilities become socially, culturally and
politically meaningful. Bringing together scholars from
geography, sociology, tourism, history and beyond, the
authors illustrate the breadth and richness of mobilities

Illustrating the role of power and power relations in

tourism encounters within different political, economic,
environmental and cultural contexts, the authors in
this anthology analyse, theoretically and empirically,
the implications of the privileging of some moralities
at the expense of others. Key themes include the moral
consumption of tourism experiences, embodiment in
tourism encounters, environmental moralities as well as
methodological aspects of morality in tourism research.
Crossing disciplinary and chronological boundaries, Moral
Encounters in Tourism provides a much-anticipated overview
of this new interdisciplinary terrain and offers possible
routes for new research on the intersection of morality and
tourism studies.

Negotiating Water Governance
Port-City Interplays in China
Why the Politics of Scale Matter
James Jixian Wang, University of Hong Kong
Edited by Emma S. Norman, Michigan Technological

University, USA, Christina Cook, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel and Alice Cohen, Acadia University,
Canada
Walking a Fine Line
Based on the authors own research and investigations into

more than 25 port cities in China over the past 18 years,
this book provides vivid stories about China and challenges
existing theories on port development. This book answers
the following questions from a geographical perspective:
how has port growth been speeded up and realized under
strong state control and intervention? How have ports and
their cities affected each other? What lessons can Chinas
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?
Edited by Amy E. Lesen, Dillard University, USA
Those who control water, hold power. Complicating matters,

water is a flow 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 decisionmaking 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.

thinking psychoanalytically. Elaborating on a variety of
psychoanalytic approaches that embrace geographical
imaginations and a commitment toward spatial thinking,
this book demonstrates the breadth, depth, and vitality
of cutting edge work in psychoanalytic geographies and
presents readers with as wide a set of options as possible for
taking psychoanalysis forward in their own work.

How do scientists, scholars, and other experts engage with

their work or residing in their sites of study? Where are the
fine 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

assess how they can be fruitful or challenging. Describing
the methodological and ethical issues that experts must
consider when carrying out public scholarship, this book
includes a checklist for critical factors of success in
engagement and an examination of the role of digital social

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.

Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural

researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual
researchers, literary scholars and heritage researchers,
this volume explores what it means to transform through
travel in a modern, mobile world. In doing so, it draws
upon a wide variety of traveller perspectives including
tourists, backpackers, lifestyle travellers, migrants,
refugees, nomads, walkers, writers, poets, virtual travellers
and cosmetic surgery patients to unpack a cultural
phenomenon that has captured the imagination since
the very first works of Western literature.
This book explores the role of cities, their influence and the
transformations they have undertaken in the recent past, the
ways in which cities regenerate, how plans change, how they
are governed and how they react to the economic realities
of the day. Bringing together studies from around the world
at different scales, from small town to megacity, this volume
captures a snapshot of some of the changes in city centres,
suburbs, and the wider urban region. In doing so, it provides
a deeper understanding of the evolving form and function of
cities and their associated peripheral regions as well as their
impact on modern twenty-first century landscapes.

This edited volume presents for the first time a broad,

from both outside and within Iran. It specifically focuses on
those disciplines that are absent from existing studies, such
as ethnography, tourism and museum studies providing
valuable insights into this fascinating place. In conclusion,
the book argues that to understand World Heritage sites and
their problems fully, a holistic approach should be adopted,
which considers the manifold of perspectives and issues and
it puts forward a novel approach to the question of heritage,
representation and construction of collective identity from
the framework of place.

Australian Artists in the

Crowdsourcing our
Cultural Heritage
Integrity in Government
through Records Management
Jennifer Barrett and Jacqueline Millner, University of

Sydney, Australia
Edited by Mia Ridge, Open University, UK
Essays in Honour of Anne Thurston
Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities
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 postcolonial 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 fine 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.
Crowdsourcing, or asking the general public to help

contribute to shared goals, is increasingly popular in
memory institutions as a tool for digitising or computing
vast amounts of data. This book brings together for the first
time the collected wisdom of international leaders in the
theory and practice of crowdsourcing in cultural heritage.
It features eight accessible case studies of groundbreaking
projects from leading cultural heritage and academic
institutions, and four thought-provoking essays that
reflect on the wider implications of this engagement for
participants and on the institutions themselves.
This book will be essential reading for information
and cultural management professionals, students and
researchers in universities, corporate, public or academic
libraries, museums and archives.

This multi-disciplinary study of early archetypal Brahmanic,

Hindu and Buddhist temple architectures examines how
the styles from northwest India were adapted as they
spread into Southeast Asia. It unravels the specifically
compositional and architectural linkages along the trading
routes of South and Southeast Asia, and the common
themes and influences to be seen in the early temples of
Java, Cambodia and Champa. Using digital reconstruction

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
Redisplaying Museum
Collections
World Heritage, Urban Design

and Tourism
Edited by Louise Tythacott, University of London, UK

and Kostas Arvanitis, University of Manchester, UK
Contemporary Display and Interpretation

in British Museums
Three Cities in the Middle East
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, benefits and drawbacks of recent and current
museum practice are explored.

Museums in the
New Mediascape
Luna Khirfan, University of Waterloo, Canada
This is the first book to examine, in depth, the multi-million

pound redisplay and reinterpretation process in British
museums in the early twenty-first century. Acknowledging
the importance of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) as project
catalyst, Hannah Paddon explains and explores the complex
process, from the initial stages of project conceptualisation
to the final stages of museum re-opening and exhibition
evaluation. She also provides an in-depth look, using three
case study museums, at the factors which shape each
museum redisplay project including topics such as museum
architecture, government agendas and the exhibition team.
Finally, the book offers discussions and conclusions around
pitfalls and successes and thoughts about the future of
collection redisplay.
This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the key

relationships between heritage conservation, city space
design, and tourism development in historic cities, linking
theory and practice in a unique way. The book offers an
investigation of three Middle Eastern historic cities, Aleppo,
Acre and Salt, all of which face significant challenges of
heritage conservation, adaptation to contemporary needs,
and tourism development. It presents practical scenarios
for the conservation and design of historic urban spaces
and the development of sustainable tourism, from the
perspective of planners, local communities and international
tourists. The author offers a comparative approach which
transcends political strife and provides valuable lessons for
the other cities inscribed on UNESCOs World Heritage List,
especially those in developing countries.

Transmedia, Participation, Ethics

Jenny Kidd, Cardiff University, UK
The museum today faces complex questions of definition,
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.

Uncertain Images: Museums

and the Work of Photographs
Edited by Elizabeth Edwards, De Montfort University, UK
and Sigrid Lien, University of Bergen, Norway
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
of the museum, and integral to the understanding of
museums. The international contributors, drawn from
curators and academics, reflect 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.

Cultural Diversity and Law
Juris Diversitas
This collection investigates the latest advances in the field

of legal translation and provides an invaluable reference
volume for all academics and practitioners in the field. The
authors offer philosophical, rhetorical, terminological and
lexicographical perspectives and explore a range of topics
from both theoretical and practical positions. Multiple and
pluralistic viewpoints are also offered in the analysis of legal
translation among different jurisdictions such as China, the
EU and Japan.
This book presents legal perspectives on the most important

sacred places of the Mediterranean. The authors discuss
the notion of sacred places in anthropological, sociological
and legal studies, provide an overview of existing legal
approaches to their protection and consider the meaning of
sacred places in Jewish, Christian and Islamic thought. The
book concludes with detailed analysis of the legal status of
key sacred places and a set of legal principles to support a
general framework within which specific legal measures can
be implemented.
In this study international legal experts explore legal

concepts and contexts from diverse national and disciplinary
perspectives. Themes range from legal and normative
pluralism to the development of state law and legal systems,
and from laws rhetoric and the potential utility of alternative
vocabularies to the polyjurality of the present. The study
combines theoretical analyses and case studies to create a
rich picture of present scholarship on laws and norms and
the state of contemporary legal complexity, each crossing
traditional boundaries.

In the world of law enforcement art and antiquity crime has in
the past usually assumed a place of low interest and priority.
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
justice system by these developments.

clear and compelling case for the total abolition of the death
penalty throughout Africa. It is essential reading for those

A Legal Pluralist Approach to

Kirsten Anker, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

This book takes up the postcolonial challenge for law and

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
legal pluralist approaches not just by imagining a way to
make space for indigenous legal traditions but by actually
working with their insights in building theory.

environmental crime; and the question of how to tackle this
problem. These topics are approached from the point of view
of green criminological theory, sociology, law enforcement,

This volume presents the viewpoints of academics, food

those of EU policymakers on the first ten years of activity of
one of the most prominent European agencies. Its broader
purpose, however, is to discuss the future role played by EFSA
within the rapidly-evolving area of EU food law and policy.
By revisiting and discussing the milestones in the history
of EFSA, the collection provides forward-looking views of
food leaders and practitioners on the future scientific and
regulatory challenges facing the European Union.
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-affiliated 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 finance private,
religious schooling.

Hidden in Plain Sight

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 firstly the human body,
seen as an index reliant on the natural world, secondly the
globe and finally, language. These three frames generate
rights to food, water, sleep and shelter, environmental
protection and a right against dehumanization.

The Global Decline of the

Mandatory Death Penalty
This book draws attention to weaknesses in the regulation

and implementation of integration provisions threatening
the immigrants individual rights in the EU member states
of Denmark, Finland and Sweden. The study uses Canada
as a point of reference and challenges readers to critically
review the meaning of rights and the notion of global caring.
It takes a critical look at how vulnerable immigrants fare in
a largely immigrant nation with a welfare capitalism legacy,
when compared to three European nations which claim to
embrace institutional welfare models.

Socio-Legal Essays in Honour
of Roger Cotterrell
Edited by Richard Nobles and David Schiff, both at
Queen Mary, University of London
This collection of socio-legal studies, written by leading
theorists and researchers from around the world, offers
original, perceptive and critical contributions to ideas and
theories that have been expounded by Roger Cotterrell
over a long and distinguished career. Engaging with the
complexity and multiplicity of our contemporary legal world,
the contributions are likely to become classics themselves
as they tackle some of the most significant challenges that
modern law faces.

Legal Education
Simulation in Theory and Practice
Mixed Legal Systems,

Edited by Vernon Valentine Palmer, Tulane University,

USA, Mohamed Y. Mattar and Anna Koppel, both at

Emerging Legal Education
Juris Diversitas
Demonstrating how simulation can be constructed and

developed as a mechanism for delivering and assessing,
this book argues that simulation is a pedagogically valuable
and practical tool in teaching the modern law curriculum,
and discusses the claim that this form of experiential and
problem-based learning enables students to integrate the
classroom experience with the real world experiences they
will encounter in their professional lives. The study is based
on contributions from law teachers within the UK, Australia,
Hong Kong, South Africa and the USA, as well as the
authors own experiences in teaching law.
Advancing legal scholarship in the area of mixed legal

systems, as well as comparative law more generally, this
book expands the comparative study of the worlds legal
families to those of jurisdictions containing not only
mixtures of common and civil law, but also to those mixing
Islamic and/or traditional legal systems with those derived
from common and/or civil law traditions. This volume
will be an invaluable source for students and researchers
working in the areas of comparative law, legal pluralism,
the evolution of mixed legal systems, and the impact of
colonialism on contemporary legal systems. It will also be
an important resource for policy-makers and analysts.

A Comparative Perspective
Edited by Mirtn Mac Aodha, Council of the European
Union, Belgium
Legal lexicography or jurilexicography is the most neglected

aspect of the discipline of jurilinguistics, despite its great
relevance for translators, academics and comparative
lawyers. This volume bridges this gap by bringing together
contributions from ten jurisdictions from leading experts in
the field. The work addresses aspects of legal lexicography,
both monolingual and bilingual, in its various manifestations
in both civilian and common law systems and also compares
epistemic approaches in a subject that is inextricably bound
up with specific legal systems and specific languages.

This book presents a detailed and critical analysis of the

case law of the International Court of Justice through the
prism of a functional analysis between negotiations and
the judicial settlement of disputes. The focus is thus not on
the merits of each individual case, but on its contribution to
and clarification of this functional interplay. The systematic
analysis of the case law leads the way for more detailed
discussion and debate.

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
resolution practised by the Kurdish Peace Committee
in London. The pluralistic approach is seen by Kurdish
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
the customs and practices of the Kurdish community.

by looking at the problematic relationship between the ideal
model of integration and the reality of the 21st century. It
discusses the current role of the EU and whether it aspires
to be a democratic polity or a functional organization based
on inter-governmental bargaining and explores the ways and
extent to which the present European crisis could create a
politico-legal space for new possibilities and opportunities
for action.

The International Library of Essays on Criminal Law

Series Editor: Stephen Shute, Sussex University, UK
Criminal law is ever evolving, impacting on many more areas of citizens lives and underpinning the operation of the state more than ever before. This new series focuses on the underlining
theory and development of current criminal law and offers analyses of the key current topics in criminal law and the universal challenges ahead. The volumes include articles and essays
selected from a comprehensive range of international publications, and feature substantial introductions which survey the current state of the field, give an overview of important issues and
explain the significance of the texts in the collection. The series is an invaluable addition to libraries building their collections in the expanding fields of criminal law and criminology as well as
a reference resource for lecturers, researchers and students.
The Codification of Criminal Law

Edited by Michael Bohlander, Durham University, UK
and Daley Birkett, University of Nottingham, UK
This volume contributes to the codification debate by bringing
together research articles which compare and contrast the
experience of countries which have a criminal code with those
operating a case law system. Whereas wholesale codification
is a much more accepted phenomenon in the continental
law traditions, simplistic transplants from one legal tradition
can result in systemic frictions and other anomalies which
may offend domestic culture. This collection is an invaluable
reference tool which supports the discussion over codification
and promotes better understanding across the common law/
civil law divide.

defenses and the conundrums of attempt liability, the bases

Expert Evidence and Scientific

Proof in Criminal Trials
The articles and essays reproduced in this volume explore

the theoretical foundations of criminal trial procedure.
This is a precise, but also fundamentally question-begging,
description of the books scope and ambitions. Viewed
in isolation, each of the components of its title might be
regarded as conceptually problematic. There are wellrehearsed difficulties, 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.

The articles and essays reprinted in this volume explore
many of the most significant and pressing questions,
issues, opportunities and challenges presented by forensic
science and other expert evidence for contemporary criminal
adjudication. The focus is mainly on scientific proof in
criminal trials and the criminal trial, as both cultural icon
and institutional forum par excellence for resolving disputed
questions of fact, is a natural focal-point. Despite this, many of
the essays reproduced engage with broader general themes,
and there is some explicit discussion of pre-trial process.

Regulating Corporate Bribery

Technology, New Zealand, Loraine Gelsthorpe,

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 significant cultural differences between the
jurisdictions, UK and German anti-corruption authorities
face procedural, evidential, legal, financial and structural
difficulties 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.

Series Editor: Maksymilian Del Mar, Queen Mary University of London, UK

This second series of three volumes is a companion to the first series of The Library of Essays in Contemporary Legal Theory,
published in 2010. The series brings together the most important and influential articles on the relationship between
contemporary legal theory and three distinct subject areas: legal history, the humanities and the natural sciences.
The issues explored range from the latest methodological debates in historical jurisprudence, through to the aesthetics of law
and legal theory, and philosophical scrutiny of the claims of genetics and neuroscience vis--vis fundamental legal concepts.
Each volume contains an original introduction which summarises the essential contributions of each chosen article and
highlights common themes and connections, as well as an extensive bibliography for further reading.
Taken as a whole, the chosen articles reflect the sometimes-neglected richness of contemporary legal theory, which has
sought to learn from and be informed by developments in the above disciplinary fields. In recognising the efforts of these
scholars, the series further opens up the agenda, and introduces new sources and resources for contemporary legal theory.
The series is an essential resource for libraries, scholars and researchers who are able to access the key articles in the field
within one volume, and an invaluable one-stop teaching resource for lecturers in the field of contemporary legal theory.
Legal Theory and Legal History

Edited by Maksymilian Del Mar, Queen Mary University
of London, UK and Michael Lobban, London School of
Economics, UK
The papers selected for this volume explore issues in the
study of historical jurisprudence. The topics range from the
challenge to legal positivism from the perspective of the
history of the common law, to the latest methodological
debates in socio-historical jurisprudence. Taken together,
these papers show historical jurisprudence to be a
creative discipline capable of yielding insights about
how to conceptualise legal change, how to give voice to
those operating outside of legal officialdom and how to
understand the relationship between law and politics.

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.

science on scientific methodology, and the efforts by legal

The papers selected for this volume offer a panorama of

problems and methods at the intersection of legal theory
and the humanities. The issues addressed include the role
of the emotions and the imagination in legal reasoning, and
the protection of the diversity of voices and perspective in
the name of community. The articles balance renewed calls
to humanise legal theory with those that analyse and explore
the relevance of specific domains of the humanities such
as literature, architecture, music, painting, drawing and
film for law.

The Library of Essays on International Human Rights

Series Editor: Stephanie Farrior, Vermont Law School, USA

arena. This series brings together the most important and influential scholarship on issues around human rights in the area of international law.
The volumes include a wide range of essays selected from an international search of print and electronic content and feature a substantial introduction by the volume editor which provides
an overview of the topic of each volume. The series includes foundational articles on the development of international human rights law and covers issues on the current challenges
facing international human rights lawyers and scholars, the UN system of rights, regional human rights systems and the fundamental principles of equality and non-discrimination under
international law.
The five volumes in this series are edited by leading scholars in the field and taken together provide an invaluable research tool for scholars and students interested in the growing field of
international human rights.

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.

Considering the crises of literary authority in nineteenthcentury French literature against the backdrop of the
Second Empire (18521870) and the aftermath of the bloody
Paris Commune of 1871, Seth Whidden focuses on the
phenomena literary collaboration, parody, destabilized
poetic form, the substitution of one poetic or narrative
voice with that of the many that enabled challenges to the
traditional status of the writer and, by extension, the political
authority that it reflected.

Situating the origins of American environmental fiction in

began with James Fenimore Coopers The Pioneers, Matthew
Wynn Sivils argues that these works of early environmental

each to overcome a crisis in representation that threatened

Examining novels, trial transcripts, medico-legal documents,

broadsides, criminal and scientific writing, illustration and,
notably, Victorian melodrama, Bridget Walsh focuses on
the relationship between the domestic sphere, so central
to Victorian values, and the desecration of that space
by the act of murder. Her book tackles crucial questions
related to Victorian ideas of nationhood, national health,
inequality, newspaper coverage of murder, contested models
of masculinity and the portrayal of the female domestic
murderer at the fin de sicle.
Using the epistemological thought of Saint Augustine as the

key to thematic continuity, this book reads Pearl, Cleanness,
Patience and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as a
composite text with a continuous narrative that produces
meaning through its own intricate internal structure. The
book ultimately provides the reader with a clear sense of
the poets perspective on the nature of human knowledge
as well as its moral implications and with a deeper
understanding of how the poems bring the theological and
philosophical problems of the Middle Ages to bear on the
individual human experience.

Tropes of monstrosity, madness, venereal disease, incest and

atheism define a group of macabre plays which burst onto
the London stage in the 1670s. Dubbed the horror or the

deeply unsettling plays fascinated contemporary audiences.
Hermansons study marks the first comprehensive
investigation of the plays, examining them in light of
significant changes to theatrical practice as well as the
endemic civil conflict of the time.

Martyrs and Players in

Early Modern England
David K. Anderson, University of Oklahoma, USA
Focusing on Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare,

John Webster and John Milton, Martyrs and Players in Early
Modern England argues that the English tragedians reflected
an unease within the culture to acts of religious violence.
David Anderson explores a link between the unstable
emotional response of society to religious executions in the
Tudor-Stuart period, and the revival of tragic drama as a
major cultural form for the first time since classical antiquity.

Lindsay Ann Reid, National University of Ireland
Focusing on seven literary texts produced in the

post-millennial period, this monograph examines the
relationship between space and Republican memory and
the reconfigurations of power in the Civil War, Franco
Dictatorship, Transition and the resurgence period. Ryan
combines scholarship on the history of spatiality in Spain
with sociological literature on memory and identity,
demonstrating the intertwinement of historical change
and spatial transformation with the individual Republican
struggle to maintain continuity with a marginalized identity.

stimulated, this study explores how Ovids English protgs
including Isabella Whitney, William Shakespeare and Michael
Drayton replicated and expanded upon the Roman poets
distinctive and frequently remarked bookishness in their own
adaptations of his works. Reid analyzes how Ovidian-inspired
mythologies and bibliographical aetiologies informed the
sixteenth-century creation, reproduction, and representation
of books, and provides alternative models for thinking about
the dynamics of reception, adaptation, and imitatio.

As the Spanish empire grew, cultural ideas and practices

related to sickness and health, sex, monstrosity and death
came into contact and conflict. Old ideas took root in new
soil, others were stamped out, and new cultures arose. This
collection examines the dynamic context in which medical
cultures circulated to propose new interpretations of the
reception, appropriation, and elaboration of medical cultures
in the vast territories controlled by the Spanish monarchy.

the ongoing transatlantic transformation of texts that took
place before adoption of the Chace Act of 1891. As authors,
readers, and publishers struggled with the unpredictability
of the textual body, the physical book and the physical body
became metaphors of flux, and discourses of destabilized
bodies inflected issues essential to transatlantic culture,
including class, gender, religion and slavery.

Defining the Mediterranean as a coherent region with

distinct patterns of social, political, and cultural exchange,
this interdisciplinary collection explores the production,
modification, and circulation of identities based on religion,
ethnicity, profession, gender, within three distinctive
Mediterranean geographies. Contributors address such
topics as interreligious conflict and accommodation;
immigration and diaspora; polylingualism; classical
imitation and canon formation; traffic in sacred objects;
Mediterranean slavery; and the dream of a reintegrated
Roman empire.
Using Hannah Arendts account of the Greek polis to explain

Miltons fascination with the idea of public speech, this book
reveals what is distinctive about his conception of a godly,
republican oratory and poetics. Setting Miltons poetry
and prose in the context of Civil War polemic; classical
political theory and its early modern reinterpretations; and
Renaissance writing on rhetoric and poetic language, the
volume culminates in an Arendtian reading of his Greek
drama Samson Agonistes.

assesses the societies projected by utopian literature from
Thomas Mores Utopia (1516) to the political idealism and
millenarianism of the mid-seventeenth century. Renaissance
Utopia complements recent scholarly work on early modern
communities by providing a thorough investigation of
the issues informing a way of modeling a very particular

At the turn of the seventeenth century, Hristomir Stanev

argues, ideas about the senses became part of a dramatic

In recent years, the assumption that traditional songs
originated from a primarily oral tradition has been
challenged by research into street literature. Not only are
some traditional singers known to have learned songs from
printed sources, but most of the songs were composed
by professional writers. This volume engages with the
long-running debate over the origin of traditional songs by
examining street literatures interaction with and influence
on oral traditions.

This book brings together current psychological and

educational research on issues related to advanced musical
performance learning within higher education contexts.
Each of the books four sections focus on one aspect
of music performance and learning: musics in higher
education and beyond; musical biographies and musical
journeys; performance learning; and developing expertise
and professionalism.
Black Popular Music in Britain since 1945 provides the first

broad scholarly discussion of this music since 1990. The
book critically examines key moments in the history of
Black British popular music from 1940s jazz to 1970s soul
and reggae, 1990s Jungle and the sounds of Dubstep and
Grime that have echoed through the 2000s. While the book
offers a history it also discusses the ways Black musics in
Britain have intersected with the politics of race and class,
multiculturalism, gender and sexuality, and debates about
media and technology.

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.

Focusing on the domain of music, the approach taken in this

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 reflects
on the ways in which the studies reported advance
understandings of creative thought and practice.

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 codifications and identifications, a medium
of interaction, an outlet for emotion and a way to escape
from a reality of scarcity, oppression and despair.

major contribution to the development of jazz in the UK. The
chapters show the importance of black British jazz in terms

The volume also provides a case study in how music of the
African diaspora reverberates around the world, beyond the

Timothy Duguid, Texas A&M University, USA
This book contributes significantly 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.

Through an analysis both broad and deep of primary and

secondary sources, ethnography, iconography and current
performance practice, this enquiry undertakes a critical
approach to the history of kathak dance and presents new
data about hereditary performing artists, gendered contexts
and practices, and postcolonial cultural reclamation. The
account that emerges places kathak and the Kathaks firmly
into the living context of North Indian performing arts.

Johann Matthesons Pices de

clavecin and Das neu-erffnete
Orchestre
Matthesons Universal Style in
Theory and Practice
Margaret Seares, University of Western Australia
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 neuerffnete Orchestre of 1713, the third part of which is offered
here in English translation for the first time.

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.

Louise Talma
Louise Talma (19061996) was the first female winner of

two back-to-back Guggenheim Awards, the first American
woman to have an opera premiered in Europe, the first
female winner of the Sibelius Award for Composition, and
the first 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 first fulllength study of this pioneering composer.

The Music Treatises of

Thomas Ravenscroft
Treatise of Practicall Musicke and
A Briefe Discourse
Ross W. Duffin, Case Western Reserve University, USA
Music Theory in Britain, 15001700: Critical Editions
Thomas Ravenscroft is best-known as a composer of rounds

owing to his three published collections: Pammelia and
Deuteromelia (both 1609), and Melismata (1611), in addition
to his harmonizations of the Whole Book of Psalmes (1621)
and his original sacred works. A theorist, composer and
editor, Ravenscroft wrote two treatises on music theory: A
Briefe Discourse (1614), and A Treatise of Practicall Musicke
(c.1607), which remains in manuscript. This is the first book
to bring together both theoretical works by this important
Jacobean musician and to provide critical studies and
transcriptions of these treatises.

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 versifications of the psalms.
This book is the first 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.

Musicality in Theatre
Music as Model, Method and Metaphor

David Roesner, Kent University, UK
Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera
Music continues to be immensely influential in key

developments of theatrical practices. In this study of
musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised
view of the nature of the relationship between music and
theatre. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from
a wide range of case studies, some of which are re-readings
of the classics of theatre history (Appia, Meyerhold, Artaud,
Beckett), while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed
practitioners such as Joe Chaikin, Thomas Bernhard,
Elfriede Jelinek, Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.

The Politics of Verdis Cantica
Roberta Montemorra Marvin, University of Iowa, USA
Singing Dante: The Literary

Origins of Cinquecento Monody
Vibe Merchants: The Sound

Creators of Jamaican Popular
Music
Elena Abramov-van Rijk
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 first fully documented study of the performances,
radio broadcast, and filming 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.
Ray Hitchins, University of the West Indies, Jamaica
This book takes its departure from an experiment presented

by Vincenzo Galilei in the Florentine Camerata in about 1580.
This first 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 significance 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.

Post-War French Popular Music:

Cultural Identity and the
Brel-Brassens-Ferr Myth
Adeline Cordier
Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Lo Ferr are three

emblematic figures of post-war French popular music who
have been constantly associated with each other by the
public and the media. They have been described as the
epitome of chanson, and of Frenchness. But there is more
to the trio than a musical trinity: this new study examines
the factors of cultural and national identity that have held
together the myth of the trio since its creation.

Turbo-folk Music and Cultural

Representations of National
Identity in Former Yugoslavia
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.

brings a fresh perspective to each of his themes.

ethnography in socio-musical analysis and reflects the
heritage but also contemporary trajectories of Bhagues
scholarly concerns. Prefaced by an essay outlining key
developments in the ethnography of performance paradigm,
the volumes seven case studies portray snapshots of
musical life in representative communities of the Americas,
including the southwestern and Pacific United States, Puerto
Rico, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba and Ecuador. These studies pose
anthropological inquiries into the ontology of performance
practice, the social power of poetic performativity, and the

Vibe Merchants offers an insiders perspective on the

development of Jamaican popular music. This rare
perspective focuses on the actual details of music making
practice, rationalised in the context of the economic and
creative forces that locally drive music production. By
focusing on the work of audio engineers and musicians,
recording studios and recording models, Ray Hitchins
highlights a music creation methodology that has been
acknowledged as being different to that of Europe and
North America. The book leads to a broadening of our
understanding of how Jamaican Popular Music emerged,
developed and functions.
Crossing British and European Racial

Faultlines, 19452010
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.

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.

Lack of cooperation and compliance with the International

Recent great transformations are characterized by a

powers and towards the global South. This volume suggests
that the world will witness a new era of interdependent
hegemony, in which both the existing First World and the
emerging Second World are intertwined in a constant
process of shaping and reshaping the international order in
the nexus of national interest, regional orientation, common
economic and political agenda, political alliance and
potential conflicts. This collection juxtaposes, from different
perspectives and approaches, the discussion on the political
economy of the emerging world order with a focus on the

In doing so, this study asks the question of why the process

this book offers a unique base for fostering discussion,

Debating the End of Yugoslavia is less an attempt to re-write

the dissolution of Yugoslavia, or to provide a different
narrative, than to take stock and reflect on the scholarship
to date. New sources and data offer fresh avenues of
research avoiding the passion of the moment that often
characterized research published during the wars and
provide contemporary perspectives on the dissolution. The
book outlines the state of the debate rather than focusing
on controversies alone and maps how different scholarly
communities have reflected 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
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.

The Ashgate Plus Series in International Relations

In this volume, as is reflected in the book title, the editors

make the conscious choice to use political as the umbrella
modifier for all entrepreneurship which takes place in
the polis. The editors and contributors fill 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.

in Part II on more precise case studies on labour standards,
public services, flexicurity, human trafficking and security.
This book asks why the EU has been involved with(in)
IOs on such a long-term basis? How? With what impact?
These three key research questions are addressed in this
innovative volume, in a bid to explore the continuity of EU
action with(in) IOs. This volume will be highly useful for
students, academics and experts, combining a clear and
easy-to-use framework with new empirical data.

In light of the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident of 2011

the prospect of including or excluding nuclear power in a
low-carbon twenty-first 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 sciencebased evidence, analysis and interpretation of data, all
leading to conclusions and policy recommendations.

Truth, Law and Experiment

Anuradha Veeravalli, University of Delhi, India
Despite an overwhelming body of scholarship and literature
on his life and thought the true systematic nature of
Gandhis intervention with modern political theory and
his method and structure of thought have not previously
received sustained attention. This book attempts to address
the lacuna by contending that Gandhis critique of modern
civilization and the presuppositions of post-Enlightenment
political theory, its epistemological and metaphysical
foundations was both comprehensive and systematic.

Failed States and the

A Comparative Analysis of State Failure
as a Root Cause of Terrorism and

Tiffiany Howard, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
Utilizing global barometer data, Tiffiany 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
failed states and political violence Sub Saharan Africa, The
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.

Through an in-depth analysis of the multifaceted

manifestations of gender and conflict, this book shows
how cognition and behaviour, agency and victimization, are
gendered beyond the popular stereotypes. Conflict not only
reconfirms social hierarchies and power relations, but also
motivates people to transgress cultural boundaries and
redefine their self-images and identities. The contributions
are a mix of classical ethnography, performance studies and
embodiment studies, showing emotions and feelings often
denied in scientific social research.

Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies Series
Lana Obradovic, University of Nebraska Omaha, USA

Maritime Power in the Black Sea provides the first

comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the
comparative maritime power of the six littoral states in the
Black Sea Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Romania and
Bulgaria. This book examines the maritime capabilities
and assets of each of these states and also considers the
implications of the distribution of maritime power on both
regional and international security.
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.

This book assesses the Ethiopian ethnic federal system

from the perspective of the principles of socialist federations
and other Marxist oriented policies pursued by the ruling
Ethiopian Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF).
Exploring how the application of these ideological principles
has impacted on the structure and function of the Ethiopian
federal system, the research examines the ways in which
these ideological policies of the ruling party affect national
consensus, protection of human rights, the rights of minority
groups, separation of power principles and the relationship
between the federal and regional governments.

In the last two decades, various states from the Global

South have emerged as important players in international
relations. Most popular amongst them is China. Brazil, India
and South Africa have also taken essential roles in global
and regional politics. Compared to traditional great powers,
they can be labelled regional great powers or regional

three parts. The first addresses the concept of the state
as it has evolved historically, the second section focuses
on the creation of Pakistan as an experiment in bridging
the gulf between the demands of the modern state and
the philosophical-spiritual attraction of the Islamic model,
and the third part considers international issues from the
beginning of the 21st century especially the conflicts in Iraq

Reflecting Maltas unique and often contentious road to EU

outlines how Maltese processes and policies have changed
since membership and whether a causative link exists
between these changes and Maltas membership of the EU.
A wide range of primary and secondary sources facilitate
the study complemented by a series of interviews with a
broad range of Maltas political and social actors as well as
individuals from EU institutions.
Todays era of intense globalization has unleashed

dynamic movements of people, pathogens, and pests that
overwhelm the static territorial jurisdictions on which
the governance provided by sovereign states and their
formal intergovernmental institutions is based. This book
insightfully explores the challenges this creates in ways that
put the perspectives of Africans themselves at centre stage.

Muslim Citizens in the West

Revolutionary Subjectivity in
Post-Marxist Thought
Edited by Samina Yasmeen, University of Western

Australia and Nina Markovic, Australian National
Univeristy
An Uneasy Alliance
Laclau, Negri, Badiou
Howard Wiarda, University of Georgia, USA
Oliver Harrison, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Drawing upon original case studies spanning North America,

Europe and Australia, Muslim Citizens in the West explores
how Muslims have been both the excluded and the excluders
within the wider societies in which they live. The book extends
debates on the inclusion and exclusion of Muslim minorities
beyond ideas of marginalisation to show that, while there
have undoubtedly been increased incidences of Islamophobia
since September 2001, some Muslim groups have played their
own part in separating themselves from the wider society.
In this important book, well known Comparativist, Howard J.

Wiarda, traces the long and controversial history of culture
studies, and the relations of political culture and identity
politics to political science. Under attack from structuralists,
institutionalists, Marxists, and dependency writers, Wiarda
examines and assesses the reasons for these attacks and
why political culture went into decline only to have a new
and transcendent renaissance and revival in the writings of
Inglehart, Fukuyama, Putnam, Huntington and many others.

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.

Life Outside the Pale of the Law
Opportunities, Obstacles, Prospects
Emma Larking, Australian National University, Australia
Shaping US Military Law

Governing a Constitutional Military
Conflict resolution, conflict management and conflict

transformations are major themes in this unique book which
examines, explores and analyses the mediation attempts
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Ohannes Geukjian
shows the most striking characteristic of a protracted
internal conflict such as this is its asymmetry and explains
that, without meeting basic human needs like identity,
recognition, security and participation, resolving any
protracted social conflict is very difficult.
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.

History, the Progressive Tradition, and

Practical Ideas for Todays Politicians
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.

Outlining the historical context, and offering suggestions
for contemporary thinkers, this comprehensive overview
shows how all three major UK political parties have made
a significant contribution to the One Nation agenda over
the past century and a half. Re-asserting the One Nation
tradition inherent in interventionist liberals like Keynes and
Lloyd George, it encourages us to look beyond reformist high
Tory politicians such as Benjamin Disraeli and sketches out
precedents for current politicians in areas such as house
building, local government, the living wage, a financial
transaction tax, and the welfare state.

Contemporary African Politics
This book shows how the new architecture of aid has

important implications in three distinct but related ways:
the discursive construction and production of postcolonial societies; the changing focus of Western aid and
development policy interventions; and the reproduction
of the politics of inclusive exclusion. The author provides
detailed and original research on the new development
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.

Parties, Elections and

Electoral Contests
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.

A Discursive Approach
Emanuela Lombardo, Complutense University of

Belgium
Innovatively adopting a discursive approach, this book - the
first full-length treatment of symbolic representation focuses on gender issues to tackle important questions such
as: What are women and men symbols of, and how is gender
constructed in policy discourse? It studies what functions
symbolic representation fulfils 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.

What Should Armies Do?
The Use of Statebuilding Research in

British Policy
Armed Forces and Civil Security

John L. Clarke, U.S. Army War College, USA
Thomas Waldman, Sultan Barakat, and Andrea Varisco,

all at the University of York, UK
Despite the increasing volume of research on state building,
the use and uptake of findings by those involved in policymaking remains largely under-examined. As such, the
main themes running through this book relate to issues of
research influence, 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.
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.

Locating the Social Relations of Domestic

Rebecca Richards, University of Lancaster, UK
Edited by Mary Romero, Arizona State University, USA,

Valerie Preston, York University, Canada and Wenona
Giles, York University, Canada
Much analysis of state building focusses on dissecting

specific 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.

Achilles Goes Asymmetrical

Pauline M Kaurin, Pacific Lutheran University, USA
Military and Defence Ethics
While there has been extensive discussion on what counts as

military professionalism, that is what makes a soldier, sailor or
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.

Alternative Islamic Discourses
and Religious Authority
Armenian Christianity Today
The Changing Soul of Europe
Identity Politics and Popular Practice

and Susanne Olsson, Sdertrn University, Stockholm,
Sweden
Edited by Alexander Agadjanian, Russian State

University for the Humanities, Russia
Religions and Migrations in Northern and

Southern Europe
Contemporary Thought in the Islamic World
This book argues that the centre of gravity for alternative

Islamic discourses will continue to shift from the Arabicspeaking 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
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.

Archbishop Pole
The Archbishops of Canterbury Series
This fresh exploration of the life, work and writing of

Archbishop Pole, focuses particularly on Poles final years
(155658) as Archbishop of Canterbury. Stressing the events
and character of Poles English life, up to his exile in the
1530s, as well as in his final years in England, this book
explores his close relationship with Henry VIII and Mary I.
Portraying Pole as a crucial figure in the Catholic-Protestant
division, this book details the attempt to restore Roman
Catholicism as the national religion of England and Wales
by telling the life-story of the hinge figure in forging English
religious and political identity for several centuries. The
final section of this book draws together important and
illuminating source material written by Pole during his years
as Archbishop of Canterbury.
Ashgate AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Series
This book paves the way for a more enlarged discussion on

religion and migration phenomena in countries of Northern
and Southern Europe. The book presents through various
theoretical lenses and empirical researches the impact
mobility and consequent religious transnationalism have
on multiple aspects of culture and social life in societies
where the religious landscapes are increasingly diverse.
The chapters demonstrate that we are dealing with complex
scenarios: different contexts of reception, different countries
of origin, various ethnicities and religious traditions.

William A. Dembski
In Being as Communion philosopher and mathematician

William Dembski provides a non-technical overview of
his work on information. Dembski attempts to make good
on the promise of John Wheeler, Paul Davies, and others
that information is poised to replace matter as the primary
stuff of reality. With profound implications for theology and
metaphysics, Being as Communion develops a relational
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.

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 fields within Islamic
studies, Freedom of Speech and Islam considers Islamic
concepts of blasphemy, apostasy and heresy and their
applicability in the modern world.

by looking through a surprising lens borrowed from

of evangelical worship literature, this book reconnects
evangelical tradition to the Great Tradition and in the

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.

This book offers a new direction for the study of contemporary

Islam by focusing on what being Muslim means in peoples
everyday lives. It complements existing studies by focusing
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.

Focusing on the role and impact of Islam and Islamic FBOs,

how Islamic teaching is actualized in case studies of Muslim

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

in thinking about aesthetics as a component of human
development, both including but moving beyond the
religious context as its primary center of meaning.
Contributing to the debate about Kierkegaards conception
of the aesthetic, this book argues that Kierkegaards concern
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.

Being divine seems to entail being omniscient, omnipotent

and omnipresent, but the New Testament portrays Jesus as
having human properties. It seems logically impossible that
any single individual could possess such mutually exclusive
sets of properties. A Kyptic Model of the Incarnation aims to
provide a critical reflection of these challenges and to offer
a compelling response integrating aspects from analytic
philosophy of religion, systematic theology, and historicalcritical studies.

Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Religion,

Exploring cases in different parts of the world, this book

offers a practical insight for understanding the relations
of NRMs and other minority religions and the law from the
perspective of legal cases. Including contributions from
scholars, legal practitioners, actual or former members,
this book presents an objective approach to understanding
why so many legal actions have involved NRMs and other
minority faiths in recent years in western societies, and
the consequences of those actions for the society and the
religious group as well.
Demonstrating that in late modernity, parallel to rising

nationalisms, there is a shift towards religious communities
becoming the central axis for cultural organization and
progressive thinking, this book presents Greece as a case
study based on empirical field data from contemporary
theology and religious education, and makes a unique
contribution to ongoing debates about the public role of
religion in contemporary Europe.

Porphyry in Fragments
Reception of an Anti-Christian Text
in Late Antiquity
Ariane Magny, Thompson Rivers University, Canada
The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation

as the fiercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved:
he composed fifteen 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.

The Public Face of African New

Religious Movements in Diaspora
The Orthodox migration in the West matters, despite its

unobtrusive presence. It matters in a way that has not yet
been explored in social and religious studies: in terms
of size, geographical scope, theological input and social
impact. This book explores the adjustment of Orthodox
migrants and their churches to Western social and religious
contexts in different scenarios. Investigating how Orthodox
identities develop when displaced from traditional ground
where they are socially and culturally embedded, this book
offers fresh insights into Orthodox identities in secular,
religiously pluralistic social contexts.

This book finds that far from silencing women, the Qur`an
affirms 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.

Reformed Liturgy
Redefining Pilgrimage

Spiritual Movements
New Perspectives on Historical and

Contemporary Pilgrimages
Religion and Power
A Puritan Alternative to the

Book of Common Prayer
Edited by Antn M. Pazos, Instituto de Estudios

Gallegos Padre Sarmiento, Spain
No Logos without Mythos
Glen J. Segger, Yale Institute of Sacred Music, USA
David Martin, London School of Economics, UK
Liturgy, Worship and Society Series
In this book David Martin argues, against Juergen

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 unscientific 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.
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
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.

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 scientific thought is not. Philosophers and theologians
from North America, UK and Australia, explore the alleged
conflict between truth claims and examine the roots of
religion in human nature.

Sacred Suicide
Edited by James R. Lewis, University of Troms, Norway
and Carole M. Cusack, University of Sydney, Australia
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.

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 significance.
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 reflections by leading thinkers about humanitys
spiritual quest.

Sociological Theory and the

Question of Religion
Edited by Andrew McKinnon and Marta Trzebiatowska,
both at the University of Aberdeen, UK
Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary
Perspective Series in Association with the BSA
Sociology of Religion Study Group
This book offers a variety of theoretical perspectives on the

study of religion that bridge the gap between mainstream
concerns of sociologists and the sociology of religion.
Following an assessment of the current state of the field, the
authors develop an emerging critical perspective within the
sociology of religion with particular focus on the importance
of historical background. Re-assessing the themes of
aesthetics, listening and different degrees of spiritual
self-discipline, the authors draw on ethnographic studies of
religious involvement in Norway and the UK.

Difference is Everything

David Pitman, University of Queensland, Australia
Going beyond ordinary readings of Aquinas and building

a foundation for further insights into the works of both
theologians, this book draws out the implications of the
thought of Eckhart and Aquinas for contemporary issues,
including ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue, liturgy
and prayer, and religious inclusivity. Reading Aquinas and
Eckhart in light of each other reveals the profound depth
and orthodoxy of both of these scholars and provides a novel
approach to many theological and practical religious issues.

Presenting an accessible introduction to the contemporary

issues and challenges facing all those engaged in the
further development of inter-faith relationships, dialogue
and partnership between the world religions, Pitman argues
that the future of world peace and prosperity depends on the
outcome. This is accomplished with particular reference to
ten key Twentieth Century theologians, each of whom had
significant influence in the field of inter-religious studies,
both during their lifetime and beyond.

Testing Fresh Expressions

Identity and Transformation
The Wisdom of the Spirit
John Walker, Diocese of Canterbury, UK
Gospel, Church and Culture
Ashgate Contemporary Ecclesiology
Edited by Martyn Percy, University of Oxford, UK and

Pete Ward, Kings College London, UK
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,

actor-network theory (ANT) offers crimes studies a
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 nonhuman) 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 benefit from reading this collection in order to explore

Against Old Europe

Raphael Schlembach, Liverpool Hope University, UK
Edited by Linda Duits, Utrecht University, The

Netherlands, Koos Zwaan, Inholland University of
Applied Sciences, The Netherlands and Stijn Reijnders,
Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Exploring the work of key theorists critical of globalization,

including Habermas, Negri, Holloway, Postone and de
Benoist, this book examines critical theory approaches to
alter-globalization, illustrated with concrete examples of
movements within contemporary Europe. In so doing, it
invites readers to explore the charges of nationalism, antiAmericanism and antisemitism brought against parts of the
alter-globalization movement. Providing a new perspective
on critiques of globalization, Against Old Europe will appeal
to sociologists and social and political theorists studying
social movements, anti-globalization activism and European
politics and identity.
The twenty-two chapters of this volume elucidate the key

themes of the fan studies vernacular. As the contributing
authors draw from recent empirical work around the globe,
the book provides fresh insights and innovative angles
on the latest developments within fan cultures, both
online and offline. Because the volume is specifically set
up as companion for researchers, the chapters include
recommendations for the further study of fan cultures.
As such, it represents an essential reference volume for
researchers and scholars in the fields of cultural and
media studies, communication, cultural geography and the
sociology of culture.

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 fieldwork, 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.

In Australia, country girl names a field of experiences and

life-stories by girls and women who have grown up outside
of the demographically dominant urban centres. It also
names a set of ideas about Australia that is surprisingly
consistent across the long twentieth century despite also
working as an index of changing times. This book offers

that the country girl has not only been a long-standing
counterpart to the Australian bush man she has, more
importantly, figured as a point of dialogue between the
country and the city for popular culture and for public
sphere narratives about Australian society and identity.
Central state and non-covert surveillance began in earnest at

the start of the twentieth century. By the start of the twentyfirst century, the UK was one of the most surveilled societies
on earth. This timely volume by Inga Kroener analyses the
particular combination of factors that have created this
surveillance state.
A detailed and richly illustrated analysis of charisma and the

political and cultural conditions in which charismatic figures
arise, this work of historical sociology critically engages with
Max Webers ambiguous concept of charisma to examine
the charismatic careers of a number of figures, including
Joan of Arc, Hitler, Nelson Mandela and Jesus. With close
attention to the social and political legacy of charisma
for modern capitalism, it also examines the emergence
of a global class of the super-rich, a process buttressed
by a belief on the part of business leaders in their own
charismatic powers.

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.

strategies, violence and breaches with the past, educational
and occupational opportunities, life course transitions and
preparation for moving between countries, The Challenges of

and observational research, it explores the conditions under
which a screening policy is decided upon and implemented,
the types of political logic underlying it, and the effects it has
on norms and values.

Disability and Social Movements
Female Masochism in Film
The Festivalization of Culture
Learning from Australian Experiences
Sexuality, Ethics and Aesthetics
Rachel Carling-Jenkins
Ruth McPhee
Edited by Andy Bennett, Jodie Taylor and Ian Woodward

all at Griffith University, Australia
Interdisciplinary Disability Studies
Film Philosophy at the Margins
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 reemergence of the movement.
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.

Drawing on the collective biography of leading feminist
scholars from around the world and current evidence
relating to gender equality in education, this book employs
methods including biographies, life histories, and narratives
to show how the feminist project to transform womens lives
in the direction of gender and social equality became an
educational and pedagogical one. Through careful attention
to the ways in which feminism has transformed feminist
academic womens lives, the author explores the importance
of education in changing socio-political contexts, raising
questions about further changes that are necessary.

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.

The editors of this book examine social movement scholars

use of contemporary concepts and paradigms in the study of
protest as they analyse the extent to which these tools are valid
(or not) in very different regional - and thus political or cultural contexts. The chapters cover examples including urban riots in
France and in Great Britain, the World Social Forums of Dakar
and Nairobi, the struggles of precarious workers in Italy and
Greece, unemployed mobilization in Germany and Ireland, the
mobilization of the Roma and Muslims in Europe, the Brazilian
landless movement, the mobilization of small farmers in
France, as well as mobilization in authoritarian states such as
Morocco and Cuba.

The Cosmopolitics of Illness

Michael Schillmeier, University of Exeter, UK
Theory, Technology and Society
Disrupting, questioning and altering the taken-for-granted

cosmos of everyday life, the experiences of illness
challenge the different ways in which social normalcy
is remembered, maintained and expected. Using rich
qualitative and ethnographic data alongside print and
on-line media sources, this book explores the various
experiences of life threatening, infectious or non-curable
illnesses that trouble the practices and relations of human
and social life. Challenging a mere deficit-model of illness,
it examines how the cosmopolitics of illness require and
initiate an ethos that cares for difference and diversity.

Liminality and the Modern

Living Through the In-Between
Bjrn Thomassen, Roskilde University, Denmark
Globalization, Crises, and Change
Hyper Sexual, Hyper Masculine?
Written by a team of experts on the contemporary global

capitalist political economy, this ground-breaking volume
provides critical analyses of the causes and consequences
of the Great Recession of 20082009. Through a careful
examination of the origin, development and aftermath of
the catastrophic economic crisis, editor Berch Berberoglu
and his colleagues demonstrate that those most responsible
for the economic collapse are the ones least affected by its
devastating impact.
Gender, Race and Sexuality in the Identities

of Contemporary Black Men
Liminality and the Modern offers a comprehensive

introduction to this concept, discussing its development
and laying out a conceptual and experiential framework
for thinking about change in terms of liminality. Applying
this framework to questions surrounding the implosion of
non-spaces, the analysis of major historical periods and
the study of political revolution, the book also explores its
possible uses in social science research and its implications
for our understanding of the uncertainty and contingency of
the liquid structures of modern society.

in debates concerning public sociology and explores
South-South research collaborations specific to the social

Racial Prescriptions explores the politics of dealing with
health inequities through targeting pharmaceuticals at
specific 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.

Cristensen and Guldviks Migrant Care Workers provides

insight to the historical context for public care work and
shows how migration policies, general welfare and longterm 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 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 refined
statistical analyses, survey methods and quantitative
measurements, this book shows that criminology can and
indeed should move beyond such confines to seek sources
of insight, information and knowledge in the unexplored
corners of poetically and creatively inspired approaches and
methodologies.

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
ramifications 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 justified. This will show
whether the exclusionary dimensions experienced by some
citizens and non-citizens are linked to deficiencies in the
concept, country-specific policies or how it is practiced in
different contexts.

Philip Balsiger, European University Institute, Italy
The Mobilization Series on Social Movements,

Drawing on insights from qualitative fieldwork using a

wide range of empirical sources, Philip Balsiger traces
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.

A South African Perspective

Peter Westoby, University of the Free State, South Africa

By examining community development stories as

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.
