Architectural Projects of
Marco Frascari: The Pleasure
of a Demonstration
Sam Ridgway, The University of Adelaide, South Australia
ASHGATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE
Frascari is best-known for his extraordinary texts, which

explore the intellectual, theoretical and practical substance
of the architectural discipline. Throughout his academic
career, he continued to work on numerous architectural
projects, including exhibitions, competition entries, and
designs for approximately 35 buildings. Ridgway draws
on a wide selection of Frascaris texts, including his richly
poetic book Monsters of Architecture, to explore the themes
of representation, demonstration, and anthropomorphism.
Three of Frascaris delightful buildings are then brought
to light and interpreted, revealing a sophisticated and
interwoven relationship between texts and buildings.

Architecture of Great Expositions

19371959
Messages of Peace, Images of War
Edited by Rika Devos, Universite Libre de Bruxelles,
Belgium, Alexander Ortenberg, California State
University, USA and Vladimir Paperny, University of
California, USA
This book investigates architecture as a form of diplomacy

in the context of the Second World War at six major
European international and national expositions that took
place between 1937 and 59. The volume gives a fascinating
account of architecture assuming the role of the carrier of
war-related messages, some of them camouflaged while
others quite frank. The book provides a novel assessment
of modern architectures involvement with national
representation it also argues that this widespread confidence
in architectures ability to act as a propaganda tool was one
of the reasons why Modernist architecture lent itself to the
service of such different masters.

The Architecture of
Home in Cairo
Socio-Spatial Practice of the
Hawaris Everyday Life
Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, Queens University
Belfast, UK
This book firstly describes the historical development of
the domestic spaces (indoor and outdoor), and provides
an inclusive analysis of spaces of everyday activities in
the hawari of old Cairo. It then broadens its analysis to
other parts of the city, highlighting different customs and
representations of home in the city at large. Cairo, in the
context of this book, is represented as the most sophisticated
urban centre in the Middle East with different and sometimes
contrasting approaches to the architecture of home, as a
practice and spatial system.

Architecture RePerformed:
The Politics of Reconstruction
Edited by Tino Mager, Berlin Institute of Technology,
Germany
This book deals with the phenomenon of meticulous
reconstruction in architecture. It argues that the politics of
reconstruction go far beyond aesthetic considerations. Taking
architecture as a major source of history and regional identity,
the impact of large-scale reconstruction is deeply intertwined
with political and social factors. By bringing together eight
case studies from Eastern Europe, France, Spain, China,
Japan, Israel and Brazil, it provides valuable insights into this
topic. The chapters analyse the political background of the
reconstructions and identify the protagonists.

Architecture, Culture,
and Spirituality
Edited by Thomas Barrie, North Carolina State
University, USA, Julio Bermudez, The Catholic
University of America, USA and Phillip James Tabb,
Texas A&M University, USA
The seventeen chapters provide a diverse range of
perspectives, grouped according to topical themes: Being
in the World; Scared, Secular, and the Contemporary
Condition; Symbolic Engagements; Sacred Landscapes; and
Spirituality and the Designed Environment. Even though the
authors approach the subject from a range of disciplines
and theoretical positions, all share interests in the need
to rediscover, redefine, or reclaim the sacred in everyday
experience, scholarly analysis, and design.

Architecture, Liberty
and Civic Order
Architectural Theories from Vitruvius
to Jefferson and Beyond
Carroll William Westfall, University of Notre Dame, USA
This book brings to light central topics that are neglected in
current histories and theories of architecture and urbanism. It
traces two models for the practice of architecture. One follows
the ancient model in which the architect renders his service
to serve the interests of others; it survives and is dominant in
modernism. The other, first formulated in the fifteenth century
by Leon Battista Alberti, has the architect use his talent in
coordination with others to contribute to the common good
of a republican civil order that seeks to protect its own liberty
and that of its citizens. It stresses the importance and urgency,
of restoring traditional practices so that we can build just,
beautiful, and sustainable cities and rural districts.

Presenting research by an international community of

scholars, this book explores through a series of cross
sections the traffic of ideas between practice and history that
has shaped modern architecture and the academic discipline
of architectural history across the long twentieth century.
The editors use the historiography of the baroque as a lens
through which to follow the path of modern ideas that draw
authority from history. In doing so, the volume defines a role
for the baroque in the history of architectural historiography
and in the history of modern architectural culture.

The Changing Image of

Affordable Housing
Design, Gentrification and Community
in Canada and Europe
Ulduz Maschaykh, University of Bonn, Germany
This book examines the liveability and affordability of
twenty-first century residential architecture. Focussing on
the architects and communities commitment to these
housing programmes, as well as that of the private building
sector, it stresses the importance of the context of the
neighbourhoods in which they are placed, which are either
in the process of urban transition or already gentrified. In
doing so, the book shows how, and to what extent, twentyfirst-century dwelling architecture developments can help to
create an integrated sense of community, diminish social and
demographic exclusions in a neighbourhood and incorporate
peoples desires as to what their buildings should look like.

The City Crown by Bruno Taut

Edited by Matthew Mindrup, The University of Sydney,
Australia and Ulrike Altenmller-Lewis, Drexel
University, USA
This book is the first English translation of the German

architect, Bruno Tauts early twentieth century anthology Die
Stadtkrone (The City Crown). Written with World War I in mind,
Taut developed The City Crown to promote a utopian urban
concept where people would live in a garden city of apolitical
socialism and peaceful collaboration around a single purposefree crystalline structure. Tauts proposal sought to advance
the garden city idea of Ebenezer Howard and rural aesthetic
of Camillo Sittes urban planning schemes by merging them
with his own city crown concept. The book also contains
contributions by the Expressionist poet Paul Scheerbart,
Eric Baron and the architectural critic Adolf Behne.

Constructing a Place of
Critical Architecture in China
Intermediate Criticality in the
Journal Time + Architecture
Guanghui Ding, Hong Kong, China
For the past 30 years, The Chinese journal Time +
Architecture (Shidai Jianzhu) has focused on publishing
innovative and exploratory work by emerging architects
based in private design firms who were committed to new
material, theoretical and pedagogical practices. this book
assesses the contribution the journal has made to the
emergence of a critical architecture in China, in the context
of how it was articulated, debated, presented and perhaps
even produced within the pages of the publication itself.

Global Perspectives on
Critical Architecture
Praxis Reloaded
Edited by Gevork Hartoonian, University of Canberra,
Australia
Judging from the debates taking place in both education

and practice, it appears that architecture is deeply in crisis.
New design and production techniques, together with the
globalization of capital and even skilled-labour, have reduced
architecture to a commodified object, its aesthetic qualities
tapping into the current pervasive desire for the spectacular.
Bringing together essays and interviews from leading
scholars such as Kenneth Frampton, Peggy Deamer, Bernard
Tschumi, Donald Kunze and Marco Biraghi, this volume
investigates and critically addresses various dimensions of
the present crisis of architecture.

Hut Pavilion Shrine examines the crossroads of modernism

and the archetypal, and critiques its buildings and theory, It
concentrates on one particularly important and omnipresent
type, the pavilion a type which was the basis of major work
by several eminent architects. While focusing primarily
on the architecture culture of the United States, it also
includes the work of British, European Team X, Japanese
and Scandinavian designers and writers. The book ties
together the threads in mid-century architectural theory
and discusses how these concerns outlived the mid-century
moment, and in the designs and writings of Aldo Rossi and
others they paved the way for Post-Modernism.

At the formation of the new Republic of Ireland, the

construction of new infrastructures was seen as an essential
element in the building of the new nation. Accordingly,
infrastructure became the physical manifestation, the concrete
identity of these objectives and architecture formed an integral
part of this narrative. Moving between scales and from artefact
to context, Infrastructure and the Architectures of Modernity
in Ireland 19162016 provides critical insights and narratives
on what is a complex and hitherto overlooked landscape, one
which is often as much international as it is Irish. In doing
so, it explores the interaction between the universalising and
globalising tendencies of modernisation on one hand and the
textures of local architectures on the other.

The Utopics of the Architectural Media
The Meaning of
Modern Architecture
Robin Wilson, University College London, UK
Its Inner Necessity and an Empathetic Reading
Illustrated by critically examining a range of architectural

journalism, from an article by artist Paul Nash in The
Architectural Review, 1940, to an early project by contemporary
French architects Lacaton & Vassal (1996) published in the
journal 2G in 2001, to recent photography by Hisao Suzuki
published in the journal El Croquis, this book brings a
radical and detailed analysis of the architectural media.
It addresses issues of architectural criticism, architectural
photography and the role of journal editors, and argues that
the architectural media is a site of contestation and ambiguity
regarding the role of critical and speculative thinking.

Hans Rudolf Morgenthaler, University of Colourado, USA

Using empathy, as established by the Vienna School of
Art History, complemented by insights on how the mind
processes visual stimuli, as demonstrated by late 19thcentury psychologists and art theorists, this book puts
forward an innovative interpretative method of decoding
the forms and spaces of Modern buildings. It proposes that
Modern architecture is too diverse to be reduced to a few
common formal or ornamental features. Instead, by relying
on the viewers innate psycho-physiological perceptive
abilities, the sensual and intuitive understandings of
composition, form, and space are emphasized.

The Hero Building

An Architecture of Scottish National Identity
Johnny Rodger, Mackintosh School of Architecture,
Glasgow School of Art, UK
A tradition of building architectural monuments to
commemorate national heroes has developed as a distinctive
feature of the Scottish built environment. This book examines
this architectural culture by studying a prominent selection
of buildings, such as the Burns monuments in Alloway,
Edinburgh and Kilmarnock, the Edinburgh Scott Monument,
the Glenfinnan Monument and the Wallace Monument in
Stirling. By raising awareness of this rich architectural and
social heritage, while analysing and interpreting the buildings in
their historical context, this book makes an exciting and original
scholarly contribution to the current debates on identity and
nationality taking place in Scotland and the wider UK.

This book argues that design drawings should be recognised

the world of things, spanning the intangible and tangible.
Focusing on Islamic geometric architectural drawings, both
historical and contemporary, it draws on key philosophical
and conceptual notions of imagination from the Islamic
tradition as these relate to the creative act. It also adds to
debates on philosophies of the imagination, linking both
Western and Islamic traditions.

Occupation: ruin, repudiation,
revolution
constructed space conceptualized
Edited by Lynn Churchill and Dianne Smith, Curtin
University, Western Australia
Key Title
Practical Building Conservation:
Earth, Brick and Terracotta
Historic England
PRACTICAL BUILDING CONSERVATION
This theme of occupation is significant and topical at a time

of radical flux, generated by the proliferation of hypermedia,
and also by the dramatically shifting environmental,
political and economic context of this era. Bringing
together contributors from the fields of practice, theory
and history, this book takes a fresh look at occupation. It
argues that occupation is a prospect that begins with ruin
a residue from the past, an implied or even a resounding
presence of something previous that holds the potential
for transformation. This prospect invites us to repudiate,
re-imagine and re-define lived-space, thereby asserting
occupation as an act of revolution.

Listening to the Visual Arts

Stephen Games
This book looks at the rise in Pevsners standing at the
BBC, at what he was admired for, and at the circumstances
surrounding his being commissioned, in the mid-1950s, to
give the first series of Reith Lectures on an arts subject. It
also documents the unravelling of Pevsners reputation,
showing how he was caught between changing fashions in
media culture and doubts about the safety of his ideas, both
within the BBC and, externally, by British conservatives who
found him too radical and American radicals who found him
too conservative.

Edited by Marc Treib, University of California, USA
and Luigi Latini, IUAV Venice, Italy
This book is about Pietro Porcinai, a landscape
architect, active from the 1930s until his death in 1986.
His apprenticeships in Belgium and Germany exposed
him to recent developments in landscape architecture
and architecture as well as helping develop a network of
design professionals and technical support throughout
Europe. As Italys principal practitioner and sole landscape
architect working in the modern idiom, in 1948 Porcinai
was a founding member of the International Federation of
Landscape Architects. While he never taught on a regular
basis he was instrumental in establishing several landscape
programs and his office was an important training ground for
young landscape architects.

Perspectives on Twentieth-Century
Theatre Architecture
Edited by Alistair Fair, University of Edinburgh, UK
During the twentieth century, an increasingly diverse range of
buildings and spaces was used for theatre. Theatre architecture
was re-formed by new approaches to staging and performance,
while theatre was often thought to have a reforming role
in society. Innovation was accompanied by the revival and
reinterpretation of older ideas. This book explores theatre
architecture in a variety of contexts, from detailed discussions
of key architects work to broader surveys of theatre in West
Germany and Japan. Together these essays shed new light on
this complex building type and also contribute to the wider
architectural history of the twentieth century.

Shopping Malls and Public

Space in Modern China
Nicholas Jewell, Queen Mary University, UK
This volume addresses a less explored aspect of Chinas
urban rejuvenation the prominence of the shopping mall as
a keystone of its public spaces. Here, the presence of the built
form most representative of Western capitalisms excess is one
that makes explicit the tensions between Chinas Communist
state and its ascent within the free market. This book examines
how these interrelationships are manifested in the culturally
hybrid built form of the shopping mall and its role in contesting
the public space of the modern Chinese city.

Historic England
PRACTICAL BUILDING CONSERVATION
This book shifts the focus from Critical Regionalism towards

a broader concept of Transcultural Architecture and defines
Critical Regionalism as a subgroup of the latter. One of the
benefits that this change of perspective brings about is that
a large part of the political agenda of Critical Regionalism,
which consists of resisting attitudes forged by typically
Western experiences, is softened and negotiated according
to premises provided by local circumstances. At the books
centre is an analysis of Reima and Raili Pietils Sief Palace
Area project in Kuwait. Further cases of modern architecture
in China, Korea, and Saudi Arabia show that the critique,
which holds that Critical Regionalism is a typical western
exercise, is not sound in all circumstances.

Unbuilt Utopian Cities

1460 to 1900: Reconstructing
their Architecture and
Political Philosophy
Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important
points in the history and an evolution in social and political
philosophies, this book not only reflects on the texts and
their political philosophy and implications, but also, their
architecture and how that architecture informs the political
philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each
of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts
of community and utopian architecture, but each featured
an architectural solution at the centre of their social and
political philosophy, as none of the cities were ever built,
they have remained as utopian literature.

Art and the War at Sea
A Kurt Jackson Bestiary
19141945
Kurt Jackson with a foreword by John Krebs and an

introduction by Charlotte Mullins
Edited by Edited by Christine Riding

While many publications have engaged with the events,
artists and poets associated with war fought on land,
the cultural history of the war at sea has been neglected.
This original book, which draws on the rich archives held
at the National Maritime Museum, London, redresses this
imbalance by being the first study to focus on the art of
war in the first half of the 20th century from a distinctly
naval and maritime perspective.
Natural history and art have been life-long preoccupations

of the leading British painter Kurt Jackson (b.1961). For
this book, Jackson has returned to zoology, the subject he
studied at university, to create a beautiful bestiary: a body
of work about fauna. Combining stunning imagery with
commentaries and poems written by the artist, the book
boasts fascinating insights into Jacksons working life, and
makes a perfect companion to both Kurt Jackson (2012) and
Kurt Jackson Sketchbooks (2012/2014).

TRANSCULTURALISMS, 14001700
The first critical study to be published on Mughal pictorial

hybridity, this book investigates the workings of the diverse
creative forces that underpinned the formation of the Mughal
painting. Valerie Gonzalez here explores with the updated
methodology of art criticism the processes of crossfertilization between the Indo-Persianate legacy, the Persian
models imported after 1555 and the influx of European art
that have brought about a unique Indo-Islamic pictorial
metaphysics characterized by a positivist mimetic order
distinct from the idealistic Persian pictoriality.

Eileen Gray
Artifacts for a Future Past

Robert Wellington, Australian National University
This revisionary study provides a new interpretation of
objects and images commissioned by Louis XIV (16381715)
to document his reign for posterity. Robert Wellington
uncovers a numismatic sensibility throughout the
iconography of Louis XIV. He looks beyond the standard
political reading of the works of art made to document the
Sun Kings history, to argue that they are the results of a
creative process wedded to antiquarianism, an intellectual
culture that provided a model for the production of history in
the grand sicle.

Irish-born designer Eileen Gray (18781976) is widely known

today as a pioneer of both Art Deco and Modernism. In a
career spanning 80 years she she produced innovative designs
for furniture, lighting, carpets, interiors and architecture. Much
less well known is that throughout her life as a designer and
an architect she never stopped producing small paintings
and drawings. This book is the first to focus on Eileen Grays
important but essentially private work as a painter.

Beyond the world fairs in London, Paris or Chicago,
numerous smaller, ambitious exhibitions took place in
provincial cities and towns worldwide. This volume takes
a novel look at the exhibitionary cultures of the period
18401940. By examining the motivations, scope and impact
of lesser-known exhibitions in, for example, Australia,
Japan, Brazil, as well as a number of European countries,
the volume opens up new angles in the way the global

The Ethics of Ornament

Making and Moving Sculpture

Edited by Kelley Helmstutler Di Dio, The University

VISUAL CULTURE IN EARLY MODERNITY
J. Nicholas Napoli, City College of New York,

Spitzer School of Architecture, USA
The Carthusian monks at San Martino began a series of

decorative campaigns in the 1580s, transforming their church
into a jewel of marble revetment, painting, and sculpture.
These aesthetic qualities generate a moral conflict: few
religious orders honored the ideals of poverty so ardently yet
decorated so sumptuously. In this, the first English-language
study of a key monument in Naples, Napoli explores this
conflict and how it sought resolution amidst the realities of
early modern Naples, shedding new light on the Neapolitan
baroque, industries of art in the age before capitalism, and
the relation of art, architecture, and ornament.
In recent years, historians of early modern Italian art

have begun to delve into issues surrounding patronage,
production, materials and materiality. This volume brings
together some of the top scholars in the field, to investigate
how sculptors and patrons dealt with the practical and
esoteric issues of material choices and acquisition,
production, shipping and transportation, and the changing
meanings of sculptures. The epilogue reveals continuity
in the challenges artists face today as they move large
sculptures around the globe.

Questions of process, politics, scale, and community raised

Portraits of Queen Marie Leszczinska (17031768) were

first study dedicated to analyzing the queens portraits. It
engages feminist theory while setting the queens image in
the context of portraiture in France, courtly factional conflict,
and the history of the French monarchy. While historically
specific, this investigation raises the larger problem of
the power of womens images versus the empowerment
of women, a challenge that continues to plague the

Video art emerged as an art form that from the 1960s and

practices. From the perspective of artists, critics and
scholars engaged with this new medium, art was seen as

insightful and also challenging re-interpretation of this field
by examining the discourse and its own premises. It takes
a firm conceptual approach to the material, examining the
conceptual, theoretical, and methodological implications
that are simultaneously contested by both artists and
authors, yet intertwined in both the legitimizing and the

The Symbolist Roots

of Modern Art
Edited by Michelle Facos, Indiana University, USA
and Thor J. Mednick, University of Toledo, USA
The essays collected here, which consider artists from
France to Russia and Finland to Greece, argue persuasively
that Symbolist approaches to content, form, and subject
helped to shape twentieth-century Modernism. Well-known
figures such as Kandinsky, Khnopff, Matisse and Munch
are considered alongside lesser-known artists such as
Fini, Gyzis, Koen, and Vrubel in order to demonstrate that
Symbolist art did not constitute an isolated moment of
wild experimentation, but rather an inspirational point of
departure for twentieth-century developments.

how vision and cartographic knowledge translated into visual

any geographical area from 1750 to now. It welcomes studies on the aesthetic conditioning of scientists as well as those that
explore the influence of technologies, medicine, and science on visual culture either in a specific cultural or social context
or through webs of influence that cross national, political, or imperial boundaries. Projects additionally might address
philosophies of mind, brain, and body that changed the way visuality and aesthetic theory were understood or how new
theories can be used to reinterpret the past.
Art, Technology and Nature
The Organic School of

Renaissance to Postmodernity
Edited by Camilla Skovbjerg Paldam and Jacob
Wamberg, both at Aarhus University, Denmark
Natures Creative Principles
Are art and technology coming into a closer relationship

with nature? Through a selection of innovative readings by
international scholars, this book argues that since 1900 we
have experienced a renewed negotiation of the convergent
triangle of art, technology and nature, analyzing its
shifting constellations in post-medieval times.Through this
negotiation, art becomes truly complementary to technology
in understanding natures agencies and may gain an
important role in adjusting technologys present utilitarian
hegemony.
The artists of the Organic School of the Russian avant-garde

found inspiration as well as a model for artistic growth in the
creative principles of nature. Isabel Wnsche analyzes the
artistic influences, intellectual foundations, and scientific
publications that shaped the formation of these artists.
Particular emphasis is given to the holistic worldviews
and organic approaches prevalent among artists of the
pre-revolutionary avant-garde and the emergence of the
concept of Organic Culture.

Building Sustainable
Competitive Advantage
The Creative City

Vision and Execution
Fraud and Corruption

Through Executive Enterprise Leadership
Edited by James E. Doyle and Biljana Mickov
Peter Tickner
The Creative City: Vision and Execution bridges the gap

between the Creative City as concept and the Creative City as
practice and, in so doing, provides a contemporary template
for policy makers, city planners, and citizens alike.
Public sector fraud seems on the increase in all forms and

countries. Part of this may be the impact of technology and the
increased sophistication of organized crime; part of it may be
a reflection of the increased transparency in the media.
Doyle and Mickov examine and explain the changes to the

concept of the creative city, explore its connectivity to the
culture sector as well as other sectors and practices across
Europe, illustrating the perspectives of Cultural Managers,
Educators, Professionals and Researchers from the creative
sector in Dublin and Europe. This book will present a new
reality based on the quality of contemporary creative practice.
Fraud and Corruption in Public Services is a definitive,

practical guide to the diverse sources of risk. There is a
guidance on civil and criminal law as well as the national
and international governmental measures and initiatives
for countering this form of criminality. Most importantly of
all, the book offers advice, examples and strategy both for
preventing and combating fraud and corruption.

Cyber Security
The Handbook of Dealing

with Workplace Bullying
An Introduction for Non-Technical Managers

Jeremy Swinfen Green
Edited by Anne-Marie Quigg
Cyber security is often thought to be the domain of specialist

IT professionals, however cyber risks are found across
and within organisations. Unfortunately, many managers
outside IT feel they are ill equipped to deal with these risks
and the use of jargon makes the subject especially hard to
understand. For this reason cyber threats are often worse
than they really need to be.
The reality is that the threat from cyber risks is constantly
growing, meaning non-technical managers need to
understand and manage these threats as best they can.
As well as offering practical advice, the author guides
readers through the processes that will enable them to
manage and mitigate such threats thereby offering the best
protection for their organisations.

Steven Segal
In Management Practice and Creative Destruction, Steven
Segal changes our understanding both of management and
research through his exploration of the concept of Creative
Destruction. He explains how progress and development
can also have negative and destructive effects within the
same environment, and that in order to embrace new ways of
doing things it is necessary to let go of the old. This is both
frightening and exciting.
The book finds new ways of looking at management and
provides a framework for managers, management educators,
theorists and researchers to turn moments of creative
disruption into opportunities for curious inquiry into their
practices. It fully explores a mode of inquiry that is only
beginning to emerge in management research and theory.

The Employees Perspective

Marcos Komodromos and Daphne Halkias
Organizational leaders often struggle to establish and
sustain a trusting culture in times of constant changes in
the corporate fabric and unethical behaviour by corporate
leadership. The purpose of Organizational Justice During

framework can be used to explore employees perceptions
of trust, fairness, and the management of change during a
period of strategic change.
The authors research findings from the case study indicated
employees who experience trust and positive feelings
regarding their treatment within the organization are willing
to become involved in the change process and adopt positive
working relationships with their colleagues and managers.

The Principles of
Islamic Marketing
Project Resilience
Second Edition
The Art of Noticing, Interpreting, Preparing,

Containing and Recovering
Baker Ahmad Alserhan
Elmar Kutsch, Mark Hall and Neil Turner
The Principles of Islamic Marketing provides a complete

guide to the requirements an organization needs to follow
when managing its entire marketing function within the
Muslim market or when adapting part of its offering to that
market. This is not a religious book. Its a marketing book
that represents the values behind a business model adopted
by nearly one fifth of the world population; the Islamic
Economic System. This second edition brings the book up
to date and features a number of new case studies and two
additional chapters.
As the title suggests, Project Resilience is about making

projects and project managers more resilient. It offers a
glimpse into our tendencies to be irrational in the face of
adversity: risk, uncertainty and complexity. The second
purpose is to offer a new perspective to aid in managing
risky, and in particular uncertain and complex projects.
The authors go beyond commonly-accepted standards
in project management with the aim of providing an
understanding of how to implement project-wide resilience.
The purpose is to guide, not to prescribe. It is best used as
a trigger for a thinking process to define your own unique
approach to managing uncertainty, not to replace your
experience and judgement. Ultimately, it has been written
to challenge traditional wisdom in project management,
and to address the rationale for creative best practices.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Edited by John Brothers
Monica Thiel
Based on practical applications of program management

in different countries, as well as the leading international
standards, this book reflects the most recent developments in
the area. It offers an understanding of program managements
connection to business strategy and value realisation, beyond
multiple-project management. Additionally it emphasizes the
need for program specific processes, based on an iterative life
cycle and the management of multiple stakeholders and their
expected benefits.
Based on his original research, John Brothers brings

together prominent thought leaders from the United States
and around the world by exploring the prevailing attitudes
and perceptions of the nonprofit sector towards government
and vice versa and provides advice and direction to help both
sides of the equation towards effective collaborative working.
Both sides of this emerging partnership need fast-track
education on each others capabilities, constraints and
working practice. Brothers contributors provide some very
valuable perspectives and insights that should inform and
direct this process.
In this fascinating book Monica Thiel tackles some of the

most meaningful questions in the CSR and sustainability
sphere today. She discuss the lack of social responsibility
engagement with local communities by corporations and
governments, and the lack of reciprocal social responsibility
and sporadic participation from individuals and local
communities themselves. Monica sheds light specifically on
the social domain within CSR and Sustainability, an area that
thus far has received remarkably little detailed coverage.

self-management education; self-monitoring; self-treatment),
Improving patient safety (e.g. adherence to treatment

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

Value Creation and the
Internet of Things
Why Customers Would Rather

Have a Smartphone than a Car
How the Behavior Economy will Shape

the 4th Industrial Revolution
Relationship Retailing as an Opportunity
Alexander Manu
Value Creation and the Internet of Things describes value
delivery and consumption, exploring the mechanisms by
which new value is captured and created in enterprises
dedicated to competing and prospering in this new
environment. Manu revisits existing theories and frameworks
of intrinsic motivation, explores their validity in the age of
co-creation, and synthesizes a new framework to capture the
changes in the mind-sets of individuals and organizations.
The book provides a context in which the Internet of Things
will soon become mainstream, forcing organizations to
re-evaluate their value creation methodologies in light of new
consumer behavior and expectations.

Welcome to GoodCo
Using the Tools of Business

Second Edition
World of Workcraft
Rediscovering Motivation and Engagement
in the Digital Workplace
Cor Molenaar,
Dale Roberts
Why Customers Would Rather Have a Smartphone than a Car

explores some of the fundamental changes in consumer
behaviour: Why do we buy less in shops and more on the
internet? Why do we spend more on gadgets, smartphones
and Apps and not more on food, holidays or clothing? Why
do most business people only look at symptoms and not
causes of changing customer behaviour? The new generation
buys differently from the baby boomers; they have different
priorities and preferences. The internet has changed us in the
way we think, act and communicate. Whilst many retailers
now understand the need for change, few of them have
established convincing or sustainable models for the future.
Organisations have started to wrestle with the idea of how

to engage the skills and motivation of the video game
generation; as customers and as employees. Dale Roberts
World of Workcraft provides the context and background to
the need for and potential benefit of gamification as a means
of turning a traditional corporate culture and structure into a
dynamic community.
Cor Molenaar argues that by understanding the drivers

behind these new consumer behaviours, retailers can
identify the opportunities this represents and adapt their
offering accordingly. The kind of relationship retailing he
advocates involves the way the retailer interacts with their
customer; the new environment that they need to sustain
along with their ability to relate customer data, technology
and new services.

Gamification is the concept of applying engaging elements

of game theory to non-game applications, and its practical
application is part of the disruptive innovation that offers
businesses radical new ways of working, learning and
performing. World of Workcraft provides guidance on how to
(and how not to) introduce these concepts successfully.

This second edition of Welcome to GoodCo updates the
authors critically acclaimed analysis of how the tools of
business are being (and ought to be) used to help tackle the
great problems of both the planet and of local communities.
In exploring the increasingly politically relevant issue of
responsible capitalism and its variations he asks what
it means, where it came from, why politicians are so timid
around the issue and what exactly are the obstacles this
crusade will have to face.
In a world in which businesses of all sizes frequently find
some of their practices at odds with the basic principles of
their customer or citizen promise, Welcome to GoodCo offers
a realistic, commercially hard-nosed approach to reframing
business in society.

Marina Soroka and Charles A. Ruud, Western University,

On the 20th of January 1526, the Santiago left Lisbon bound
for Africa with a cargo of iron and cloth; by early October
the ship was back in Portugal with a very different cargo,
108 enslaved Africans. This volume consists of a translation
into English of the receipt book from the customs office of
the Cape Verde Islands. In it, Portuguese customs agents
recorded import duties on over 3,000 slaves transported from
nearby West Africa in 36 ships. The book also provides details
of export taxes paid on c.600 African slaves by merchants
from Portugal, Spain, and the Spanish Canary Islands, when
they exchanged European merchandise for slaves. The final
chapter of the volume translates the Santiagos log, providing
an example of an actual slave trading expedition.

The Book of the Jihad of

Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106)
Text, Translation and Commentary
Niall Christie, Langara College, Canada
In 1105 Damascene Muslim jurisprudent Ali ibn Tahir alSulami (d. 1106) dictated a call to the military jihad against
the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad, al-Sulamis
work summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and
instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be
conducted. The text is vital for understanding the Muslim
reaction to the crusades, and provides the first contemporary
record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders.
This book provides a complete edition and the first full
English translation of the extant sections of the manuscript,
making it available to modern readers for the first time.
An introductory study explores al-Sulmanis influences and
techniques, and suggests possible directions for future study.
An appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn
Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985), a preacher whose rhetorical style
influenced al-Sulamis work.

Drawing upon an impressive range of international sources,

this book explores the late-nineteenth century partnership
between Bradford worsted manufacturers the Briggs brothers
and the German merchant Ernst Posselt, and their investment
in a factory and workers community at Marki, near Warsaw in
Poland. Against a backdrop of political instability and social
upheaval, which dramatically impacted on business after
1905 and particularly during the interwar period of Polands
Second Republic, Sarah Dietz examines the fortunes of an
extraordinary enterprise which has been little researched in
Poland and is largely unknown to British scholars.

The British Fiscal-Military States,

1660c.1783
Edited by Aaron Graham, University of Oxford, UK
and Patrick Walsh, University College Dublin, Ireland
The concept of the fiscal-military state, popularised by John
Brewer in 1989, has become familiar, even commonplace, to
many historians of eighteenth century England. Yet even at
the time of its publication the work caused controversy, and
the essays in this volume demonstrate how recent work on
fiscal structures, military and naval contractors, on parallel
developments in Scotland and Ireland, and on the wider
political context, has challenged the fundamentals of this
model in increasingly sophisticated and nuanced ways.

British Humanitarianism and

the Congo Reform Movement,
18961913
Dean Pavlakis, Carroll College, USA
Examining key factors in the successes and failures of
a pivotal movement that aided the colonized people of
the Congo and broadened the idea of human rights,
this book provides a valuable update to scholarship on
the history of humanitarianism in Africa. The Congo
Reform movement built on the institutional experience
of overseas humanitarianism, the energy of evangelical
political involvement, and innovations in racial, imperial,
and nationalist discourse to create political energy. Often
portrayed as the efforts of a few key people, especially
E.D. Morel, this book demonstrates that the movement
increasingly manifested itself as an institutionalized
campaign that could pursue its goals even in the absence
of its hardworking founder.

The years between 1744 and 1757 were a testing time for the
British government as political unrest at home exploded into
armed rebellion, whilst on the continent French armies were
repeatedly victorious. Building upon methods employed in
the preceding two books, this volume charts the significant

narrative that both uses and builds on the analysis offered
by contemporary commentators, and provides an informed
assessment of the significance of the ideas, terms and

Based on the surviving interrogations of a papal enquiry into

town. The story of the friary trial of Krmend investigates
the processes by which ordinary people emerge as historical
agents from the written records. By focussing on their
experiences as represented in the trial documents, the book
reveals the spaces of individual and communal action within
the dynamic of lay-clerical relations negotiated in a friary
reform at the beginning of the 16th century.

PUBLICATIONS OF THE CENTRE FOR HELLENIC STUDIES,

KINGS COLLEGE LONDON
Modern Greece and photography are almost peers: both are

cultural products of the 1830s, and both actively converse
with modernity. This is the first inter-disciplinary volume
to examine Greeces entanglement with photography. The
book argues that photographs and the photographic process
have been instrumental in the reproduction of national
imagination, in the consolidation of the nation-building
process, and in the dissemination of propaganda. It is argued
that the photographic field constitutes a site of memory and
counter-memory, where social actors stake their discursive,
material, and practical claims.
Children of Wrath: Possession,

Prophecy and the Young in
Early Modern England
Anna French, University of Gloucestershire, UK
The spiritual status of the early modern child was often
confused and uncertain, and yet in the wake of the English
Reformation became an issue of urgent interest. This book
explores questions surrounding early modern childhood,
focusing especially on some of the extreme religious
experiences in which children are documented: those of
demonic possession and godly prophecy. Dr French argues
that despite the fact that these occurrences were not typical
childhood experiences, they provide us with a window
through which to glimpse the world of early modern children.

in Bosnian Islam since c.1500
Amila Buturovic, York University, Toronto, Canada
Gravestones are seen as cultural spaces that inscribe
memory, history, and heritage in addition to being texts that
display first-hand information about the deceased. This book
underscores the importance of material culture, specifically
gravestones, funerary inscriptions and images, in tracing and
understanding more subtle changes in Bosnias religious
landscape and the complex cultural shifts and exchange
between Christianity and Islam in this area. Drawing upon
several disciplinary methods, the book has much to offer
anyone looking for a better understanding of the intersection
of Christianity and Islam, as well as those with an interest in
death studies.

With intensifying persecution came intensifying religious

The papers in this volume investigate the two important
movements of conversion that frame late antiquity:
Christianity and Islam. Despite their historical significance,
those two movements of conversion have never been
systematically compared to each other, and this volume
attempts to do this by studying the various issues at stake
in conversion for both religions. Some perspectives from the
rise of Buddhism in East Asia at roughly the same period
have been included so as to avoid remaining within purely
Mediterranean and monotheistic models.

As one of the most recognisable landmarks from Zanzibars

colonial museum, and casts light on the conflicted character
of the colonial mission in eastern Africa.

POLITICS AND CULTURE IN EUROPE, 16501750
Aristocratic dynasties have long been regarded as

fundamental to the development of early modern society

has increasingly questioned the dominant role of ruling
families in state formation, underlining instead the continued
importance and independence of individuals. In order to
take a fresh look at the subject, this volume provides a
broad discussion on the formation of dynastic identities
in relationship to the lineages own history, other families
within the social elite, and the ruling dynasty.

Disputes, discord and reconciliation were fundamental parts
of the fabric of communal living in early modern Europe.
This edited volume presents essays on the cultural codes of
conflict and its resolution in this period under three broad
themes: peace-making as practice; the nature of mediation
and arbitration; and the role of criminal law in conflicts.
Together they demonstrate the importance of studying
disputes and their attempted resolution in developing broader
understandings of community in the early modern period.

Eurasian Slavery, Ransom and

This volume provides both an overview and snapshot of

Everyday Magic in
Early Modern Europe
Edited by Kathryn A. Edwards, University of
South Carolina, USA
Experiences of magic and witchcraft in the early modern period
have often been presented as extraordinary occurrences, when
they were, from the perspective of people living during this
period, part of a shared and familiar cosmological outlook. By
presenting a range of everyday supernatural experiences, from
spirit-assisted treasure hunting to magically-assisted recipes,
this book will show the extent to which such incidents and the
beliefs underlying them have common frames of reference and
were accepted as legitimate, if unusual, practices.

Faded and Threadbare Historic

Textiles and their Role in Houses
Open to the Public
Margaret Ponsonby, University of Wolverhampton, UK
Taking National Trust properties as its central focus, this
book examines three interlocking themes to examine the role
of historic textiles. Firstly it looks at houses with preserved
contents together with the reasons for individual families
choosing this lifestyle, secondly the role of the National Trust
as both guardian and interpreter of these houses and their
collections, and finally, and most importantly, the influence of
textiles to contribute to the appearance of interiors, and their
physical attributes that carry historical resonances of the past.

Fealty and Fidelity: The Lazarists

of Bourbon France, 16601736
Sen Alexander Smith, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
The career of the French saint Vincent de Paul has attracted

the attention of hundreds of authors, but the fate of his
legacy remains vastly neglected. This book provides a
thorough examination of the major activities of de Pauls
immediate followers, analyses the unique model of religious
life designed by de Paul, and includes a study of the
termination of the little-known Madagascar mission which
revealed the terrible pressures on de Pauls followers in the
decade after his demise. The book also investigates the
darker side of the Congregations novel alliance with Louis
XIV, by examining its treatment of Huguenot prisoners at
Marseille later in the century, and its involvement with the
slave trade in the Indian Ocean.

History
Festival Culture in the World of
the Spanish Habsburgs
Edited by Fernando Checa Cremades, University
Complutense of Madrid, Spain and Laura Fernndez
Gonzlez, University of Edinburgh, UK
Festivals and ceremonials played a major role in the Spanish
world; through them local identities as well as a common
Spanish culture made their presence manifest within and
beyond the peninsula through ephemeral displays, music
and print. This book explores Habsburg Visual culture at
court and its connection with the creation of a language of
triumph, the relationship between religion and the empire,
and examines cultural, artistic and musical exchange in
Naples and Rome. Taken together these essays contribute
further to our growing appreciation of the importance
of early-modern festival culture in general, and their
significance in the world of the Spanish Habsburgs in
particular.

From Popular Liberalism to

National Socialism
Oded Heilbronner, Shenkar College of Engineering,
Design and Art and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
Israel
This book investigates the development of what the author
terms popular liberalism, in order to present a more
nuanced understanding of political and cultural patterns
in Germany up to the early 1930s. In particular, the author
offers an explanation for the success of National Socialism
before 1933 in certain regions of South Germany, arguing
that the radical liberal sub-culture was not subsumed by the
Nazi Party, but instead changed its form of representation.
By looking afresh at the relationship between local-regional
identities and national politics, this book makes a major
contribution to the study of the roots of Nazism.

Kirsten Rther, University of Vienna, Austria, Angelika

Van Gent, University of Western Australia
Addressing an important social and political issue which
is still much debated today, this volume explores the
connections between religious conversions and gendered
identity against the backdrop of a world undergoing
significant social transformations. Adopting a collaborative
approach to their research, the authors explore the
connections and differences in conversion experiences,
tracing the local and regional rootedness of individual
conversions as reflected in conversion narratives in three
different locations: Germany and German missions in South
Africa and colonial Australia, at a time of massive social
changes in the 1860s.

German Literature and the

Collected Essays by Brian Murdoch
Brian Murdoch, University of Stirling, UK
ASHGATE STUDIES IN FIRST WORLD WAR HISTORY
Erich Maria Remarques All Quiet on the Western Front

remains the archetypal example of an anti-war novel, and
one that has become synonymous with the Great War. Yet the
tremendous and enduring popularity of Remarques work has
to some extent eclipsed a plethora of other German anti-war
writers. In order to provide a more rounded view, this volume
offers a selection of essays published by Brian Murdoch
over the past twenty years. A new introduction provides the
context for the volume and survey recent developments in
the subject, the essays that follow range broadly over the
German anti-war literary tradition, telling us much about the
shifting and contested nature of the war.

States of emotion were vital as a foundation to society in the

premodern period, employed as a force of order to structure
diplomatic transactions, shape dynastic and familial
relationships, and align religious beliefs, practices and
communities. At the same time, societies understood that
affective states had the potential to destroy order, creating
undesirable disorder and instability that had both individual
and communal consequences. This volume argues that the
ways in which emotions created states of order and disorder
in medieval and early modern Europe were deeply informed
by contemporary gender ideologies. Together, they reveal the
critical roles that gender ideologies and lived, structured, and
desired emotional states played in producing both stability
and instability.

Godfrey of Viterbo
and his Readers
Imperial Tradition and Universal History in
Late Medieval Europe
Edited by Thomas Foerster, University of Oslo, Norway
and The Norwegian Institute in Rome, Italy
CHURCH, FAITH AND CULTURE IN THE MEDIEVAL WEST
This collection provides a systematic survey of the wide

readership the works of Godfrey of Viterbo enjoyed in the
late Middle Ages. In the last years of the twelfth century this
chronicler and imperial notary wrote a series of historical
collections that gained considerable and lasting popularity:
between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, his works
were copied in elaborate manuscripts in almost all of Latin
Europe. Godfrey was a herald of the new political ideas the
Hohenstaufen developed after the years of defeat against
the papacy and the Italian communes, but also a universal
chronicler whose interests reached far beyond the political
issues of his day. Bringing together a group of specialists on
manuscripts and historical writing in late medieval England,
Spain, Italy, Germany, Bohemia and Poland, this volume
demonstrates how Godfreys works were understood by
medieval readers.

The long-term development of public green spaces in

London during the twentieth century is a curiously neglected
subject, despite the fact that various kinds of green spaces
cover huge areas in cities. Building on case studies of the
contemporary boroughs of Camden and Southwark and
making use of a wealth of archival material, the author
takes us through the planning and creation stages, to the
intended uses and ongoing management of the spaces. It
makes a crucial contribution to academic as well as political
discourse on the history and present role of green space in
sustainable cities.

The Hanoverian Succession

Dynastic Politics and Monarchical Culture
Edited by Andreas Gestrich and Michael Schaich,
both at the German Historical Institute, UK
Three hundred years after the succession of the first
Hanoverian king, this volume provides an intriguing
perspective of a dynasty, challenging assumptions of the
Hanoverians as petty-minded monarchs presiding over
an inconsequential court. Looking afresh at the Georgian
monarchs and their role, influence and legacy within
Britain, Hanover and beyond, the chapters shine new light
on important topics: from rivalling concepts of monarchical
legitimacy and court culture to the multi-confessional setup of the British composite monarchy and the role of the
military, the Anglican Church and the aristocracy in defining
and challenging the political order.

Jonathan Oates, London Borough of Ealing Archives, UK

This volume discusses infirmitas in ancient and medieval

aspects of physical and mental illness, impairment and health,
and examines frailty as a more abstract, cultural construct. It
seeks to widen our understanding of how physical and mental
well-being and weakness were understood and constructed
in the longue dure from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The
chapters are written by experts from a variety of disciplines,
including archaeology, art history and philology, and pay
particular attention to the differences of experience due to
gender, age and social status.

Jesuit Science and the

End of Natures Secrets
Mark A. Waddell, Michigan State University, USA
Jesuit Science and the End of Natures Secrets explores how
several prominent Jesuit naturalists including Niccol
Cabeo, Athanasius Kircher, and Gaspar Schott tackled the
problem of occult or insensible causation in the seventeenth
century. This book documents how particular Jesuits sought
to reveal and expose natures myriad secrets through an
innovative blending of technology, imagery and experiment.
Moving beyond the conventional Aristotelianism mandated
by the Society of Jesus, they set forth a vision of the world
that made manifest the works of God as Creator, no matter
how deeply hidden those works were. The book thus not
only presents a narrative that challenges present-day
assumptions about the role played by Catholic religious
communities in the formation of modern science, but also
captures the exuberance and inventiveness of the early
modern study of nature.

Caesar creates using sophisticated techniques. Each book is
examined independently to set out the gradual transformation
of Caesars literary persona, in step with his ascent in the real
world. Employing detailed philological analyses of Caesars

Most works written about the Jacobites have tended to

look at the 1745 Rebellion, rather than the earlier attempt
to reinstate the Stuart dynasty. Drawing upon a wealth of
under-utilised sources and giving weight to the community
and individual dimensions of the crisis as well as to the
military ones, this book focuses on events in 1715, when
English and Scottish Jacobites tried to replace George I
with James Stuart. It provides a narrative and analysis of the
campaign that led to the decisive battle at Preston and ended
the immediate prospects of the Jacobite cause.

This volume is the first publication to draw upon the mass of

town plans in their cultural context. Also included are the
reflections of Rheinland-Pfalz, a German medieval scholar
who has produced many historic maps.

CRUSADE TEXTS IN TRANSLATION
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE, 17001945
Preserved in a unique fourteenth-century manuscript,

the Old French version of the Chronicle of Morea is a
contemporary account of Frankish feudal life transposed
onto foreign soil. It describes clashes, conquests, and
ransoms between the Franks and Byzantines, as well as their
alliances and arranged marriages. The Chronicle of Morea
brims with anecdotes giving insight into the operation of
feudal justice, the role of noble women in feudal society, the
practice of chivalry, and the conduct of warfare. This is the
first translation into English.
Making a fresh contribution to the political history of

science, this book explores the connections between the
science policies of three countries that each experienced
considerable political upheaval in the twentieth century:
Spain, Italy and Argentina. By focussing on these three
countries, the contributors are able to present case studies
that highlight the characteristics and specificities of the
democratic and dictatorial political processes involved in the
production of science and technology.

The Reception of Byzantium in

European Culture since 1500
Edited by Przemyslaw Marciniak, University of Silesia,
Poland and Dion C Smythe, Queens University Belfast, UK
This collection of essays uses the idea of reception-theory
and expands it to show how European societies after
Byzantium have responded to both the reality, and the idea
of Byzantine Civilisation. The authors discuss various forms
of Byzantine influence in the post-Byzantine world from
architecture to literature to music to the place of Byzantium
in modern political debates (e.g. in Russia). The intentional
focus of the volume is on those aspects of Byzantine
reception less well-known to English-reading audiences,
which accounts for the inclusion of Bulgarian, Czech, Polish
and Russian perspectives. As a result this book shows
that although so-called Byzantinism is a pan-European
phenomenon, it is made manifest in local/national versions.

This collection focusses upon the history and theology of sin

Exploring their complex social and cultural constructions,
it underlines how sin and salvation were not only great

perspectives historical, theological, literary, and material/
art-historical to both reveal and explain the complexity
of the concepts of sin and salvation, the volume further
illuminates a subject central to the nature and success of the
Reformation itself.

It is often assumed that a recognisably modern sporting

culture did not emerge until the eighteenth century. The
plethora of physical training and games that existed before
1700 tend to fall victim to rigid historical boundaries drawn
between modern and pre-modern sports, which are
concerned primarily with levels of regulation, organization
and competitiveness. Adopting a much broader and
culturally based approach, the essays in this collection
offer an alternative view of sport in the early modern period.
Taking into account a variety of competitive as well as noncompetitive forms of sport, physical training and games, the
collection situates these types of activities as institutions
in their own right within the socio-cultural context of earlymodern Europe.

little attention. Food stood as a powerful semiotic device for
communicating and maintaining conceptions of identity,
history, traditions and progress, of inclusion and exclusion,
making it a valuable tool for researching the construction
of national or corporate sentiments. Combining recent
developments in food studies and the history of major
international exhibitions, this volume provides a refreshing
alternative view of these international and intercultural
spectacles.

Representations of Power and
Justice in Medieval France
Manuscripts and Early Printed Books
Edited by Rosalind Brown-Grant, University of Leeds,
UK, Anne D. Hedeman, University of Kansas, USA and
Bernard Ribmont, University of Orlans, France
Thoroughly interdisciplinary in approach, this volume
examines how the exercising of power, the distribution of
justice, and transgression against the law were portrayed
in both textual and pictorial terms in works produced and
circulated in medieval French manuscripts and early printed
books. The essays analyse a wide variety of texts to offer new
insights into the ways in which the language and imagery of
politics and justice permeated medieval French culture.

Sabbatai Sevi and the Lost Tribes of Israel
Brandon Marriott, University of London, UK
UNIVERSAL REFORM: STUDIES IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY,
15501700
In 1644 the news that Antonio de Montezinos claimed to

have discovered the Lost Tribes of Israel in the jungles of
South America spread across Europe and the Ottoman
Empire fuelling an already febrile atmosphere of millenarian
expectation, culminating in the claims of Sabbatai Sevi
to be the Jewish messiah. By situating this transmission
in a historical context stretching back to 1492, this book
reveals the importance of early-modern crises, diasporas
and newsgathering networks in generating eschatological
constructs and transforming them through a process of
intercultural dissemination into complex new hybrid religious
conceptions and identities.

Understanding Medieval Liturgy

Essays in Interpretation
Focusing on so-called occasional rituals such as burial,

church consecration, exorcism and excommunication
rather than on the Mass and Office, this book provides an
introduction to current work and new directions in the study
of medieval liturgy. Recent research on such rites challenges
many established ideas, especially about the extent to
which they differed from place to place and over time, and
how the surviving evidence should be interpreted. Bringing
together scholars working in different disciplines, periods
and intellectual traditions, the collection demonstrates the
potential that liturgical evidence offers for understanding the
Middle Ages.

The Sources of a Medieval

English Diocesan Rite
THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXT
William Smith
Uroscopy the diagnosis of disease by visual examination

of the urine played a very prominent role in early modern
medical practice and in the lives of ordinary people. Based
on a wide range of textual and visual sources, such as
autobiographies, court records, medical treatises and genre
painting, this book offers the first comprehensive study of
the place of uroscopy in early modern medicine, culture
and society and of the gradually changing ways in which
medical practitioners, lay persons and, last but not least,
artists perceived and used it.

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.

Uroscopy in Early Modern Europe

Since the series was launched, interest in retail history and in the changing patterns of consumption has continued to grow.
Such growth has involved ever wider perspectives on the importance of retailing and consumption in terms of the time periods
examined and across different societies, along with comparative studies. In addition the nature of consumption processes have
been opened up to much more critical examination, all of which has come from a wide range of disciplines. The aim of this
multi-disciplinary series is to provide an international forum for publications that research and explore key themes within the
history of retailing and consumption.

Going to Market
Women, Trade and Social Relations in
Early-Modern English Towns, c. 15501650
David Pennington, Webster University, USA
The dominance of economic repertories of value is a

relatively new phenomenon, and one which directly
correlates to the steady advent of capitalism in early modern
Europe. This volume brings together scholars with expertise
in a variety of related fields, including economic history, the
history of consumption and material culture, art history and
the history of collecting, to explore changing concepts of
value from the early modern period to the nineteenth century
and present a new view on the advent of modern economic
practices. Jointly, they fundamentally challenge traditional
historical narratives about the rise of our contemporary
market economy and consumer society.
Going to Market rethinks womens contributions to the

early modern commercial economy. A number of previous
studies have focused on whether or not the early modern
period closed occupational opportunities for women. By
attending to womens everyday business practices, and not
merely to their position on the occupational ladder, this book
shows that they could take advantage of new commercial
opportunities and exercise a surprising degree of economic
agency. Through an investigation of a broad range of primary
sources-including popular literature, criminal records,
and civil litigation depositions-the study reconstructs how
women did business and negotiated with male householders,
authorities, customers, and competitors.

Director (1754) to the Great Exhibition (1851), this book
analyses the relationships between producer-retailers and
consumers of furniture and interior design, and explores

other services, to reveal the complexities of English material

THE WORLDS OF EASTERN CHRISTIANITY, 3001500: CS2
Twentieth-century research based on archival material has

restored the standing of Francis I, king of France (151547),
as one of the most important rulers of his age. Intended as
a contribution to the celebration of the 500th anniversary of
Franciss accession, the volume brings together seventeen
articles by Robert Knecht published over several decades on
particular aspects of Franciss reign, including three essays
specially translated from French into English.
This volume brings together a set of key studies on the

history and culture of Christian Armenia. The form and
content of Armenian literature displays an extraordinary
range of interactions with neighbouring languages, and
the diversity of Historical Armenias stretching across the
medieval Middle East requires us to rethink the intellectual
exchanges undertaken by Armenian scholars and writers.
Many of the essays have been translated into English
specially for this publication, which includes a substantial
new introduction.

Alan V. Murray, University of Leeds, UK
This volume brings together studies relating to the history

of the Latin principalities established in Palestine and Syria
from their foundation in the course of the First Crusade up
to their 1187 defeat by Saladin. Half of the essays deal with
the first three decades of the Frankish settlement. Beyond
this are studies devoted to sacred and secular aspects of
the landscape and population of Palestine. The final section
considers how the Franks perceived the Muslim and native
Christian inhabitants of Syria, Palestine and neighbouring
lands, with an emphasis on the evidence of the chronicle of
William of Tyre.

Although the importance for the Renaissance of Greek

migrs to fifteenth-century Italy has long been recognized,
much research remains to be done. This new volume gathers
together fourteen studies filling in some of the gaps in our
knowledge. The philosophers George Gemistus Pletho and
George Amiroutzes, the great churchman Cardinal Bessarion,
and the humanists George of Trebizond and Theodore Gaza
are the subjects of some of the articles. Other articles treat
the migrs as a group within the frame of contemporary
issues, such as humanism, the theological debate between
the Orthodox and Roman Catholics, and the process of
translating Greek texts into Latin.

comparative approach across different types of disasters in a
range of urban locations is useful in identifying opportunities
for policy transfer. While there is no one size fits all solution
to hazard mitigation, valuable lessons can be learned from
the experiences of others. The chapters emphasize different
modes for assessing hazard risk, as well as strategies for
increasing the resiliency of vulnerable populations.

Building a World Heritage City

Sanaa, Yemen
Kate Hepworth, University of Technology, Australia

Proposing a new, dynamic conception of citizenship, this
book argues against understandings of citizenship as a
collection of rights that can be either possessed or endowed,
and demonstrates it is an emergent condition that has
temporal and spatial dimensions. Furthermore, citizenship
is shown to be continually and contingently reconstituted
through the struggles between those considered insiders
and outsiders. Significantly, these struggles do not result
in a clear division between citizens and non-citizens, but in
a multiplicity of states that are at once included within and
excluded from the political community.

HERITAGE, CULTURE AND IDENTITY
Rethinking Place, Policy and Practice
Conservation in Sanaa raises a fundamental question: what

does it mean to conserve in a place where the historic
past is still alive? How must international agencies and
consultants readjust theory and practice as they interact
with the living representatives of this historic past? And what
are the implications of the case of Sanaa for conservation
in general? Building a World Heritage City addresses these
questions, drawing on the methodologies of history,
architecture, and ethnography. Based on extensive fieldwork,
this book looks at conservation from the ground up through
the eyes of architects, builders, residents, and officials.

Investigating how people and places are connected into the

intersections between community, policy and practice and
how they are co-constituted. The role of the creative economy
and broader cultural policy within community development
is problematised and, in a significant addition to work in this
area, the concept of place forms a key cross cutting theme.
It brings together case studies from the European Union
across urban, rural and coastal areas, along with examples
from the developing world, to explore tensions in universal

It explores how acts of caring about food and eating shape

and how their interplay is experienced in myriad spaces of

Crossing both disciplinary and geographical boundaries, this

volume draws together a number of important contributions
from acknowledged leaders in three respective fields:
the trade in bodily commodities, biomedical tourism and
migration of health care professionals. It explores and maps
out the key characteristics of this emerging, although as yet
poorly researched global trade, questioning how, where and
why bodies cross borders, whether this exacerbates existing
health inequalities and how these circulations impact on

Using the borderscapes concept, this book offers an

approach to border studies that expresses the multilevel
complexity of borders, from the geopolitical to social
practice and cultural production at and across the border.
Accordingly, it encourages a productive understanding of the
processual, de-territorialized and dispersed nature of borders
and their ensuring regimes in the era of globalization and
transnational flows as well as showcasing border research
as an interdisciplinary field with its own academic standing.

TRANSPORT AND SOCIETY
Examining cycling from a range of geographical perspectives,

this book uses historical and contemporary case studies to
look at the history, politics, economy and culture of cycling.
Pursuing a post-structural position in viewing understandings
of the bicycle as contingent upon time and place, author Glen
Norcliffe argues for the need for widespread processes such
as gendered use of the bicycle, the Cyclists Rights Movement,
and the globalization of bicycle-making to be interpreted in
different ways in different settings.

Cycling Futures
Edited by Regine Gerike, University of Natural Resources

John Parkin, University of the West of England, UK
Tensions at the heart of the nature of cycling remain: on
the one hand cycling is frequently viewed as being a risky
activity, while on the other hand it is seen as being a way
of allowing populations to live healthier lives. Reviewing
this dichotomy, the authors in this book consider the ways
that cycling is planned and promoted. This is done partly
in relation to these issues of risk and health, but also from
the broader perspective of behavioural response to the
changing nature of cycling. A section on methodologies is
also included which outlines the current state-of-the art and
points a way to future research.

Diffractive Technospaces
Federica Timeto, Academy of Fine Arts, Italy
Articulating a non-representational perspective on
knowledge production and artistic practices, combined with
an analysis of space, this book offers a new performative
and relational re-turn to representation in contemporary
technospaces. The radically materialist, posthumanist and
performative position from which this situated aesthetics
of technospaces is elaborated, aligns this book not
only with non-representational theory, but also with the
theories of material feminism, feminist geography, situated
epistemologies, science and technology studies, actornetwork theory, performance studies and new media studies.

GLOBAL URBAN STUDIES
Over the past two decades it has become widely recognized

that housing issues have to be placed in a broader framework
recognizing that civil society in the form of Community
Based Organizations (CBOs) and their allies are increasingly
networking and emerging as strong players that cannot
easily be overlooked. This book brings together different
perspectives on multi-scalar approaches within the housing
field and on grassroots engagement with formal agencies
including local government, higher levels of government and
international agencies. By moving away from romanticizing
local self-initiatives, it focuses on understanding the
emerging potential once local initiatives are interlinked and
scaled-up to transnational networks.

This text is unique in bringing together a number of scholarly

perspectives in the arts and humanities to examine how
spatial and architectural design decisions convey meaning,
shape or abet specific social practices, and stage memories
of frontier zones that no longer function as such. With
studies from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and
North America, this collection of essays casts a wide net
to consider borders of diverse sorts. This range allows for
reflection on shifts in how frontier zones are articulated and
the impermanence of border emplacements, as well as on
likely scenarios for future frontiers.

CRITICAL FOOD STUDIES
Housing in 21st Century Australia
Drawing on a range of international studies, diverse contexts,

genres and different methods, this book provides new sites
of investigation and lines of inquiry. As a result of its broad
ranging critical evaluation of food as classroom and food as
teacher, it provides theoretical resources for opening up the
concept of pedagogy, and assessing the moralities and politics
of teaching and learning about food in the classroom and
beyond. Aiming to extend the vocabularies of learning, politics
and pedagogy in policy, activism and education concerning
food, the book offers food pedagogues new ideas for how
and what they teach and the ethics and politics involved.

People, Practices and Policies

Edited by Rae Dufty-Jones and Dallas Rogers
both at the University of Western Sydney, Australia
The studies presented in this text provide a unique insight
into a range of housing production, consumption and policy
issues that, while based in Australia, have implications
that go beyond this national context. For instance how
do suburban-based societies adjust to the realities of
aging populations, anthropogenic climate change and the
significant implications such change has for housing?
How has policy been translated and assembled in specific
national contexts? Similarly, what are the significantly
different policy settings the production and consumption
of housing in a post-Global Financial Crisis period require?
Framed in this way this book accounts for and responds to
some of the key housing issues of the 21st century.

Meleckidzedeck Khayesi, Transport Researcher,

TRANSPORT AND SOCIETY
Transport discourse often concentrates on what is missing

from transport policy and practice in developing countries
vis--vis high-income countries rather than articulating local
creativity in responding to transport needs as revealed in
informal public transport modes such as matatu, motorcycle,
bicycle and animal transport. The matatu service, provided
by privately-owned transport carriers, can be seen as
a mirror of the life of Kenya, revealing how indigenous
African entrepreneurship and capitalism straddles various
economic, political and social systems. This book offers
a phenomenological and situated analysis of the matatu
entrepreneurship in the political economy of Kenya and its
embeddedness in society.

Informal Trade, Gender

and the Border Experience
From Political Borders to Social Boundaries
Olga Sasunkevich, European Humanities University,
Lithuania
Detailing the history of a well-known phenomenon of postsocialism cross-border petty trade and smuggling as the
history of a practice in daily life from a gendered perspective,
this book considers how changes in these practices in a
particular border region, between Belarus and Lithuania,
have been accompanied, and to some extent provoked, by
changes in the border regime. It looks at how the selective
openness of the Belarus-Lithuania border worked during
different periods over the last twenty years and how it
influenced the involvement of different social groups in
shuttle trade practices.

Second Edition
Metropolitan government and metropolitan governance have

been ongoing issues for more than sixty years in the United
States. Based on an extensive survey and a review of existing
literature, this book offers a comprehensive overview of these
debates. It discusses how the centrifugal forces in local
government, and in particular local government autonomy,
have produced a highly fragmented governmental landscape
throughout America. The book uncovers the extent of
metropolitan government and governance, the possibility for
its existence, what attempts (if any) have been made in the
past, and the problems and issues that have arisen due to the
lack of adequate metropolitan governance.

How do you design a landscape book suitable for its
intended uses? How can the natural qualities of a landscape
be enhanced with new features and focal points? How can
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.
Illustrated with original drawings, photographs, sample

INTERNATIONAL POPULATION STUDIES
Over the last two decades there have been numerous

profound changes in UK society which have had an impact
on the scale, geographies, meaning and experiences of
internal migration. Providing a critical appraisal of migration
scholarship from the perspective of Geography, reviewing
theory, substantive foci and method, this book demonstrates
how sub-national migration in the UK gives rise to and
reflects new patterns of population, housing, economies and
cultures. Each chapter is written by a Population Geographer
together with a scholar representing another Human
Geography sub-discipline thus providing a cross-disciplinary
perspective on a specific aspect of migration.

This book focuses upon the legacies sought by cities that

IOC and others define and measure legacy. It also focuses
upon the challenges and opportunities facing future host
cities of mega-events and questions what the global shift
in geographical location of mega-events means for sports
development and the business of sport and what are the
attractions for cities seeking to harness the hosting of a megaevent, and whether there may be longer term consequences
for the bidding and hosting major sporting events.

The crossing of national state borders is one of the mostdiscussed issues of contemporary times and it poses many
challenges for individual and collective identities. This book
examines the three constitutive parts discerned in the crossborder mobility decision-making process: people, borders
and trajectories and their interrelationships. Illustrated by a
global range of case studies, it demonstrates that the relation
between the three is not fixed but flexible and that decisionmaking contains aspects of belonging, instability, security
and volatility affecting their mobility or immobility.

Specifically focussing on Canadas rapidly changing society,

this book examines the place-health-diversity intersection
in this national context. Health geographers are well
positioned to offer a valuable contribution to diversityfocussed research because place is inextricably linked to
differential experiences of health. Applying geographic
concepts like place, in both the physical and social sense,
allows researchers to explore multiple axes of difference
simultaneously. Such geographic perspectives, as presented
in this book, offer new insights into what makes diverse
people, in diverse places, with access to diverse resources
(un)healthy in different ways in Canada and beyond.

the fields of spatial planning, land-use and infrastructure
management to explore the emerging agenda of spatiallyoriented integrated evaluation. It weaves together the latest
theories, case studies, methods, policy and practice to
examine and assess the values, impacts, benefits and the
overall success in integrated land-use management. In doing
so, the book clarifies the nature and roles of evaluation and
puts forward guidance for future policy and practice.

Between Modernity and Sustainability
Based on a series of residencies and radio broadcasts

produced by London Fieldworks in collaboration with
Resonance 104.4fm, the Remote Performances project enabled
twenty invited artists to consider and engage in transmissions,
sound performances and dialogues on their artmaking
strategies immersed in this specific rural environment of
mountain, forest and river; flora and fauna. This book explores
the ways in which being in the field impacts on artists and
permeates through to the artworks they create. It considers
the relationship between geography and contemporary art
and artists use of maps and fieldwork. It charts these artists
explorations of the ecological and cultural value of the natural
environment, questioning our perceptions and relationships to
landscape, climate and their changes.
Addressing the apparent tensions between modernity and

sustainability in Southeast Asia, this book offers novel
insights into the global challenge of moving towards a
low-carbon energy system. With an original and accessible
take on social theory related to energy transitions, modernity
and sustainability, Mattijs Smits argues for a reinvigorated
geography of energy. He also challenges universalistic and
linear assumptions about energy transitions and makes
the case for energy trajectories, stressing embeddedness,
contingency and connections between scales.

An overriding value of European legislation on waste
management is the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
principle. For example, all economic operators placing
packaging onto the EU market are responsible for its
proper management and recovery. However, in general, the
collection and treatment of urban waste is the responsibility
of local authorities. It has therefore been necessary to
establish a system of financial compensations between
producers and waste management operators. Analysing the
legal and institutional schemes of several member states
and accounting for all the costs and benefits to their local
authorities due to selective collection and sorting, this book
provides an accurate illustration of how the EPR principle
has been translated into practice.

revealing the latter to be lived and experienced phenomena
rather than abstract historiographical categories. This

Spaces of Global Knowledge
Through the lens of the everyday, this book explores the

countryside as an inhabited and practised realm with lived
rhythms and routines. It relocates the topography of everyday
life from its habitually urban focus, out into the English
countryside. The rural is often portrayed as existing outside
of modernity, or as its passive victim. Here, the rural is recast
as an active and complex site of modernity, a shift which
contributes alternative ways of thinking the rural and a new
perspective on the everyday.

Spatial Analysis in

Edited by Pavlos Kanaroglou, McMaster University,
Canada, Eric Delmelle, University of North Carolina,
USA and Antonio Pez, McMaster University, Canada
Presenting current research on spatial epidemiology, this

book covers topics such as exposure, chronic disease,
infectious disease, accessibility to health care settings and
new methods in Geographical Information Science and
Systems. For epidemiologists, and for the management
and administration of health care settings, it is critical
to understand the spatial dynamics of disease. Spatial
epidemiology relies increasingly on new methodologies,
such as clustering algorithms, visualization and space-time
modelling, the domain of Geographic Information Science.
Implementation of those techniques appears at an increasing
pace in commercial Geographic Information Systems,
alongside more traditional techniques that are already part
of such systems. This book provides the latest methods in GI
Science and their use in health related problems.

THE DYNAMICS OF ECONOMIC SPACE
Providing a critical overview of the state of contemporary

the field under four major perspectives: urban design as
discourse, as discipline, as research, and as practice. It
poses the questions: how can such a diversity of practice be
positioned with regard to current international trends in urban
design? And what constitutes the specificity of the Middle
Eastern experience in light of the regional political and cultural
settings? This book is also about urban designers on the
margins: how they narrate their cities, how they engage with
their discipline, and how they negotiate their distance from,
and with respect to global disciplinary trends.

NEW DIRECTIONS IN TOURISM ANALYSIS
Focusing on ontological politics of tourism development, this

book examines how different versions of tourism are enacted,
how encounters between different versions of tourism
orderings may result in controversies, but also on how these
enactments and encounters are entangled in multiple ways
to broader areas of development, conservation, policy and
destination management. Inspired by post-actor-network
theory and related research, the studies include the social
as well as the material, but also multiplicity and ontological
politics when examining controversial matters or events.

The book makes a step change from any other comparable

studies by understanding our towns and cities in terms
of function in form. This helps us to appreciate why every
town is a recognisable town, wherever it is. Different urban
environments in different parts of the world, past and present,
can come to be seen according to their similarities instead
of their differences. Furthermore, by appreciating how the
economic influences of everyday life structure our towns
and cities, we can in turn begin to understand better how
the structure of towns and cities affect the quality of life of
inhabitants and the cohesiveness of communities. In covering
all scales from inside the home to macrostructure of the city,
the book encapsulates urban or town planning and does not
seek to distinguish between the various design disciplines.

Urban Planning in Lusophone

African Countries
Urban Chinas Rural Fringe
Edited by Carlos Nunes Silva, Institute of Geography

and Spatial Planning, University of Lisbon, Portugal
Actors, dimensions and management

challenges
Edited by Giulio Verdini, Yiwen Wang and Xiaonan Zhang,

all at Xian JiaotongLiverpool University, China
This study offers an innovative overview of the urbanisation
of China by focussing on the rural fringe and the centrality
of its management in an attempt to ensure more sustainable
paths of development. Challenging the current discourse
on modernisation in China that focuses solely on the urban
rather than the rural, this book provides insights into the
current massive urbanisation that is taking place from a
different angle. A re-conceptualisation of the rural dimensions
of cities in a fast urbanising context equips practitioners,
scholars and students with new analytical tools to observe an
unprecedented and complex great urban transition.

issues in planning for their future. Alongside these empirical
chapters are philosophical essays that consider the future of
distressed cities. Bringing together a team of leading scholars,
United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations,
private consulting firms, international organizations and
foundations, and policy officials, this volume provides a
unique and comprehensive overview on how to transform
distressed communities into more livable places.

A small number of countries, regions, cities, and localities are

powerful gatekeepers and generate the bulk of creative and
innovative ideas, while the majority is largely excluded. This
book looks at neglected, but emerging innovation centres
analysed from various spatial and organizational perspectives;
ranging from entire countries and regions to individual
firms and small neighbourhoods. Bringing together leading
scholars from various disciplines, it examines a variety of
economic sectors including biotechnology, agrotourism, and
the food retail industry. The authors employ various, often
contradictory, concepts, ranging from local buzz and the
global pipeline, through an analysis of collective learning
processes to geographical embeddedness, using both
qualitative and quantitative approaches.
Reconceptualizing Boundaries
This volume, through a diverse range of international cases

covering cultural, natural and mixed World Heritage Sites,
covering both the developed and the developing world,
examines the ways in which sites have been inscribed on
the World Heritage List and what this has meant in terms
of tourism relating to practical issues of management,
carrying capacity and the experiences of tourists and local
communities. It also looks at the way being on the list
shapes, and is shaped by, shifting values and politics at the
macro and micro level.

Intersecting Theories and
Practices across Europe
Perla Innocenti, University of Glasgow, UK
This book highlights the strengths and benefits from new
cultural networking practices but also the challenges and
issues that arise, how these could be addressed and what
lessons can be learnt. It also sets out to answer the questions
how. How can we leverage the power of cross-border
cultural networks in a contested place such as Europe
today? How can European cultural institutions elaborate the
necessary approaches and strategies to achieve a type of
cultural cooperation that is truly based on cultural practice?
How can the actions of the European Commission and
relevant cultural bodies in Europe be strengthened, adapted
or extended to meet these goals?

The use of museum collections as a path to learning for
university students is fast becoming a new pedagogy for
higher education. Despite a strong tradition of using lectures
as a way of delivering the curriculum, the positive benefits
of active and experiential learning are being recognised
in universities at both a strategic level and in daily teaching
practice. As museum artefacts, specimens and art works are
used to evoke, provoke, and challenge students engagement
with their subject, so transformational learning can take
place. This unique book presents the first comprehensive
exploration of object-based learning as a pedagogy for
higher education in a broad context. An international group
of authors offer a spectrum of approaches at work in higher
education today. They explore contemporary principles
and practice of object-based learning in higher education,
demonstrating the value of using collections in this context
and considering the relationship between academic
discipline and object-based learning as a teaching strategy.

Engaging the Senses:

Object-Based Learning
in Higher Education
From Museum Critique

to the Critical Museum
Edited by Katarzyna Murawska-Muthesius, Birkbeck,
University of London, UK and Piotr Piotrowski,
Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland
Since the late nineteenth century, museums have been cited
as tools of imperialism and colonialism, as strongholds of
patriarchalism, masculinism, homophobia and xenophobia,
and accused both of elitism and commercialism. But, could
the museum absorb and benefit from its critique, turning
into a critical museum, into the site of resistance rather than
ritual? This book looks at the ways in which the museum
could use its collections, its cultural authority, its auratic
space and resources to give voice to the underprivileged,
and to take an active part in contemporary and at times
controversial issues.
Kali Tzortzi, University of Patras, Greece

How does the architecture of museums affect our experience
as visitors? This book proposes that by seeing space as
common ground between architecture and museology,
and so between the museum building and its display, we
can illuminate the individuality of each museum and the
distinctive experience it offers. The book starts with an
overview of the history of museum buildings and display
strategies. It then focuses on specific museums as in-depth
case studies, and uses methods of spatial analysis to look at
the key design choices available to architects and curators,
and their effects on visitors behaviour. Theoretically
grounded, methodologically original, and richly illustrated,
this book will equip students, researchers and professionals
in the fields of architecture, museum studies, curating,
exhibition design and cultural studies, with a guide for
studying museums and a theoretical framework for their
interpretation.

Digital Scholarly Editing

Theories, Models and Methods
Elena Pierazzo, University of Grenoble Alpes, France
Building on previous publications on the topic, the book
presents the development in digital textual scholarship
without attempting to propose a new editorial approach,
claiming instead that the alterations in traditional editorial
practices necessitated by the use of computers impose
radical changes in the way we think and manage texts,
documents, editions and the public. It is of interest not only
to scholarly editors, but to all involved in publishing and
readership in a digital environment in the humanities.

MARKETS AND THE LAW
This study fills a vital gap in the current literature on the

detailed reports from six European countries which form the
empirical background for five analyses of different aspects
of the social inclusion-exclusion dichotomy through overindebtedness in Europe since 2008. The account shows how
the current design of the consumer credit and mortgage
system in Europe has helped to produce individual overindebtedness while disregarding the consequential danger of
social exclusion.

THE LIBRARY OF ESSAYS IN THEORETICAL CRIMINOLOGY
The developmental and life-course perspective in criminology

behavior. This volume brings together selected articles from
the debates of these major theories, including key theoretical
statements and empirical tests undertaken by researchers
other than the original theorists. The collection not only
surveys debates within the developmental and life-course
perspective but also between this perspective and others
within criminology.

THE INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF ESSAYS ON RIGHTS
Brendan D. Kelly, University College Dublin, Ireland

and Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Ireland
This collection brings together selected articles on key areas

in the field of cultural heritage rights discourse, contributed
by an international group of scholars. The papers address
a broad range of issues such as repatriation, illicit trade,
effects of armed conflict, tourism, economic development
and legal regulation. Topics which are likely to become
important in the future, such as climate change, cultural
globalisation, human genomic science and the shift to a
post-liberal, post-rights politics and law of cultural heritage,
are also explored.
This book explores the human rights consequences of

recent and ongoing revisions of mental health legislation in
England and Ireland. The author uses the checklist of the
WHO Resource Book on Mental Health, Human Rights and
Legislation as a framework for analysis, and considers recent
case-law from the ECHR, as well as the implications of the
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The author focuses on dignity, human rights and mental
health law to evaluate to what extent the human rights of the
mentally ill have been protected and promoted.

A Human Rights Framework for

Intellectual Property, Innovation
and Access to Medicines
Joo-Young Lee, Seoul National University, South Korea
This book presents the views of leading researchers from

across Europe and North America, from both normative and
empirical disciplines, in the multidisciplinary debate on
the current state of research on the ethical, legal and social
implications of personalised medicine. The work partially
draws on a four year collaborative research project funded
by the German Ministry for Education and Research, and at
a time when future health care is a topic of much discussion
this book provides valuable policy recommendations for the
way forward.
This study primarily explores whether conflicts between

patents and human rights in the context of access to
medicines are inevitable, or whether patents can be made to
serve human rights. The author argues that it is necessary
to have a deepened understanding of each of the two sets
of norms that govern this issue, that is, patent law and
international human rights law. The chapters investigate the
relevant dimensions of patent law and analyse particular
human rights bearing upon the issue of intellectual property
and access to medicines.

and New Zealand on the other, showing that although there
are obvious differences, for instance related to colonisation
and present legal solutions, there are also shared experiences
among the indigenous peoples and the States.

Legal Pluralism in the Holy City

Competing Courts, Forum Shopping, and
Institutional Dynamics in Jerusalem
Ido Shahar, University of Haifa, Israel
CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND LAW
This book offers fresh perspectives on the phenomenon of

legal pluralism, on sharia law in practice and on PalestinianIsraeli relations in the divided city of Jerusalem. The study
is based on participant observations in the studied sharia
court in contemporary West Jerusalem, as well as on textual
and legal analyses of court cases and rulings, and suggests
an organizational-institutional approach to legal pluralism,
which examines not only the relations between bodies of
law but also the relations between courts of law serving
the same population.

The Legal Treatment of
Muslim Minorities in Italy
Nussbaum and Law

Edited by Robin West, Georgetown University
Law Center, USA
Islam and the Neutral State
PHILOSOPHERS AND LAW
Andrea Pin, University of Padua, Italy

This book describes the legal treatment of Muslims in Italy,
contrasting it with other European states and jurisprudence
and with wider global tendencies. The study presents a series
of case studies and a theoretical framework built around the
concepts of religious freedom, state neutrality and church
and state collaboration. The author argues that this model,
which combines the state level with the supranational level
in the form of the European Convention of Human Rights,
better accommodates religious freedom not just for Muslims,
but for wider society, in Italy and elsewhere

Challenges and Prospects

Edited by Ebenezer Durojaye, University of the
Western Cape, South Africa
With contributions from activists and scholars across Africa,
this study focusses on understanding the legal framework
in Africa for the recognition of the right to health, the
challenges people encounter in such litigation and prospects
for litigating future health rights cases. Diverse case studies
also demonstrate that even in jurisdictions where the right
to health has not been explicitly guaranteed, attempts have
been made to litigate on this right. The book also takes a
comparative approach to litigating the right to health before
regional human rights bodies.

This collection takes the next step in the advancement of
an autonomous, inter-disciplinary restorative justice field
of study and articulates for the first time a psychological
concept of restorative justice. The book studies the
power structures of the restorative justice movement,
and the psychology of the practitioners, theoreticians and
researchers who implement it, as well as the psychology of
the policy makers and politicians who fund it. Furthermore,
it examines the strengths and weakness of our own societies
and the communities that are called to participate as parties

Ensuring the effective right to privacy of personal data has
become a key issue both in the internal market and in the

STUDIES IN MODERN LAW AND POLICY
Judicial networks have proved effective in influencing recent

judicial policies enacted by both old and new EU member
states. This volume seeks to improve our understanding
of how networks function, the extent to which they matter
in the governance of a constitutional democracy and with
what consequences networks interact with hierarchical
institutions that still exist within the States. The authors also
examine the way the networks cross the legal and territorial
borders that confine the jurisdiction of the domestic
institutions, and whether they are independent of the

A Property Approach to the Protection

of Patients Rights
Leroy C. Edozien, University of Manchester, UK
This book proposes an alternative to the consent model
which is currently at the heart of patient self-determination
and which is shown here to have fundamental flaws that
constrain its effectiveness. The proposed model is a property
model in which the patients bodily integrity is protected from
unauthorised invasion, and their legitimate expectation to be
provided with the relevant information to make an informed
decision is taken to be a proprietary right. This model enables
the courts to overcome the requirement to prove causation
in consent cases and offers a complementary approach to
patient self-determination.

examine the classical roots of constructionist theory;
its applications to the sociology of deviance; important
deviations into the methodology; and reflections on its
current standing in criminological theory.

theory and regulatory pluralism. The study concludes that
there are a number of different actors and institutions with
a role to play in controlling piracy by reducing the supply
of motivated offenders, the vulnerability of prospective
victims and in enhancing guardianship. The book envisages
a holistic counter-piracy programme based on a pluralistic
regulatory model that is sustainable within the region, and
managed by the region, providing the best opportunity for
long-term success.

This book comprehends the persistence of sovereignty

as a political and juridical concept in the post-sovereign

persistence as part of the self-referential communication
of the systems of positive law and politics. The author uses
several contemporary European examples, developments and
paradoxes and argues that the modern question of sovereignty
permanently oscillating between de ire authority and de facto
power cannot be discarded by theories of supranational and
transnational globalized law and politics.

ISLAMIC LAW IN CONTEXT
This book comprehensively contrasts Hadith with the Quran

concerning women and gender issues. Using specific
examples the author argues that the human rights and the
human development of Muslim women will not progress in
a meaningful and sustainable manner until the Hadith is
re-examined in a fresh new approach from within the Islamic
framework, shifting the discourse in understanding Islam
from a dogmatic religious law to a religio-moral rational

Comparing representations of Indianness by Anglo-American

Cathy Rex shows that iconic images of Native figures
informed both the early republican American identity and the
authorial identity of women writers like Mary Rowlandson
and Lydia Maria Child. By contextualizing these well-known
narratives and images as constitutive of one another, Rex
brings a new, more textually inclusive perspective to the field

The Chinese Impact upon

English Renaissance Literature
A Globalization and Liberal Cosmopolitan
Approach to Donne and Milton
Mingjun Lu
Drawing on globalization theory and the representations

of China in English Renaissance literature, author Mingjun
Lu proposes a liberal cosmopolitanism model to study the
early modern interactions with the other. Challenging the
conventional colonial/postcolonial, nationalist, and Orientalist
frameworks, the liberal cosmopolitanism model not only
opens Renaissance literary texts to globalization theory but
also initiates a new approach to the early modern conception
of cultural pluralism. By pushing East-West contact back to
the period in 1570s1670s, Lus work uncovers earlier historical
and discursive evidence for East-West contact.

Andrew Duxfield argues that Marlovian drama exhibits a
marked interest in unity and unification, and that in doing
so it engages with a discourse of anxiety over social discord
that was prominent in the 1580s and 1590s. Duxfields focus
on unity as a theme throughout the plays provides a new lens
through which to examine the place of Marlowes work in its

A Scholarly Life
David Game, Australian National University, Australia

In this first full-length account of D. H. Lawrences rich
engagement with a country he found both fascinating
and frustrating, Game examines how Australia informed
the utopian and regenerative visions that characterize
so much of Lawrences work. He sheds new light on
Lawrences attitudes towards Australian Aborigines, women
and colonialism, and revisits key aspects of Lawrences
development as a novelist and thinker.

Decadent Romanticism:
17801914
Edited by Kostas Boyiopoulos and Mark Sandy,
Durham University, UK
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY SERIES
For all its strong reactions against Romanticism, Decadence

shared with the period a mutual distrust of the philosophy
of utilitarianism and the aesthetics of neo-Classicism.
Decadent Romanticism reflects on the interstices between
Romantic and Decadent literature and explores these
movements obsessions with subjectivity, isolation, addiction,
fragmentation, representation, romance, and voyeurism, as
well as a poetics of desire and anxieties over the purpose of
aestheticism.

The culture of early modern England and Europe was richly

hybrid, forged through interactions between diverse nations
and language communities, and through new encounters
with the wider world beyond Europe. Ranging from the
neo-Latin poetry of an English author to the Spanish plays
of a nun in the New World, from royal portraits exchanged
in diplomatic negotiations to travelling companions in the
Ottoman Empire, this multidisciplinary volume presents
exciting new research on early modern exchanges.

This book establishes new information about the likely content

of ten lost plays from the period 15801642. The plays authors
include Nashe, Heywood, and Dekker; and they connect in
direct ways to some of the most canonical dramas of English
literature, including Hamlet, King Lear, The Changeling,
and The Duchess of Malfi. In the process, the study offers
innovative thinking both on the practicalities of digital
humanities and on the emerging field of lost play studies.

Early Modern Catholics,

Royalists, and Cosmopolitans
Gerard Kilroy here draws on newly discovered manuscript

sources to reveal Campion as a charismatic and affectionate
scholar who was finding fulfilment as priest and teacher
in Prague when he was summoned to lead the first Jesuit
mission to England. The book offers fresh insights into
the dramatic search for Campion, the populist nature of
the disputations in the Tower, and the legal issues raised
by his torture. It was the monarchical republic itself that
made him the beloved champion of the English Catholic
community. Edmund Campion presents the most detailed
and comprehensive picture to date of an historical figure
whose loyalty and courage, in the trial and on the scaffold,
swiftly became legendary across Europe.

Textual Form and the Production of

Human Difference as Knowledge
Imperialism and the Politics of Resistance

Karim Bejjit, University Hassan II, Morocco
Sandra Young, University of Cape Town, South Africa
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC CULTURES OF EARLY MODERNITY
This critical edition presents a remarkable collection of 18

Restoration pamphlets dealing with the English occupation
of Tangier. In an extensive original introduction, Karim Bejjit
narrates the various stages of the colonial venture in Tangier,
and critically analyses both the British historiography and
current scholarship on the subject. Read collectively, the
texts offer a genuine glimpse into the colonial scene and
the interplay of forces which governed English presence
in Tangier.
Early modern geographers and compilers of travel narratives

drew on a lexicon derived from cartographys seemingly
unchanging coordinates to explain human diversity. Sandra
Youngs inquiry into the partisan knowledge practices of
early modernity brings to light the emergence of the early
modern global south. Young proposes new terms with which
to understand the racialized imaginary inscribed in the
scholarly texts that presented the peoples of the south as
objects of an inquiring gaze from the north.

Early Modern Catholics, Royalists, and Cosmopolitans looks

at how the perspective of 16th-century English Catholic exiles
and 17th-century English royalist exiles helped to generate
a form of cosmopolitanism that was rooted in, but also
transcended, contemporary religious and national identities.
Lockey considers the experiences of English exiles and the

Sir Philip Sidney, Anthony Munday, Sir John Harington,
Sir Richard Fanshawe, John Milton, and Aphra Behn.

WOMEN AND GENDER IN THE EARLY MODERN WORLD
These essays tell the story of the declining intelligibility

of classical models of (male) friendship and of the rising
prominence of women as potential friends. Contributors
reveal how men and women fashioned gendered selves, and
also circumvented gender norms through concrete friendship
practices. By showing that the benefits and the risks of
friendship are magnified when gender roles and relations are
unsettled, the volume highlights the relevance of early modern
friend-making to friendship in the contemporary world.

his role in moving musical comedy away from vaudevilles

Margaret Atwood:
Crime Fiction Writer
The Neglected Shelley

Edited by Alan M. Weinberg, University of South Africa,
Timothy Webb, University of Bristol, UK
Jackie Shead
Exploring how Margaret Atwoods fiction reimagines the
figure of the detective and the nature of crime, Jackie Shead
shows how the author radically reworks the crime fiction
genre. By revealing how her female protagonists confront
their own complicity with hegemonic assumptions about
gender, class and colonialism, Atwood invites her readers
to participate in the same educative process that leads her
detective figures to a greater understanding of restrictive
cultural myths.
Building on the work begun in Weinberg and Webbs 2009

collection, The Unfamiliar Shelley, this new collection takes
up further work by Percy Bysshe Shelley that has received
inadequate critical attention. The Neglected Shelley shows
that even the poets apparently slighter works are important
in their own right and are richly instructive as expressions of
Shelleys developing art of composition and diverse interests
throughout his career.

Though recent scholarship has focused on both maternity and

various forms, the collection explores motherhood as it was
figured in the fantasy world of romance by authors ranging

picture not only of the Mirrors production, circulation and
function, but also the dynamic and flourishing devotioliterary culture of late medieval England.

The Painter as Poet
Suggesting that Rossettis work should be approached

inscribed by and inscribes the development of verbal as
well as visual culture in the Victorian period. He situates
Rossettis poetry as the key to all of his work and central
in its representation of the dominant discourses of the
Victorian era: faith, sex, consumption, death, and the nature
of representation itself.

Reading Humility in
Early Modern England
Jennifer Clement, University of Queensland, Australia
While humility is not especially valued in modern Western
culture, Clement argues, it is central to early modern
understandings of Christian faith and behavior, and is
vital to contemporary concepts of the self. Early modern
literary engagements with humility link it to self-knowledge
through the practice of right reading. This study complicates
modern views of an early modern virtue, and challenges the
assumption that agency is always defined by resistance.

Rethinking Gaspara Stampa in

Shakespeare and the

Staging the Peninsular War
Edited by Unn Falkeid, Stockholm University, Sweden

and Aileen A. Feng, University of Arizona, USA
Edited by James A. Knapp, Loyola University Chicago, USA
Susan Valladares, University of Oxford, UK
As contributors to this volume prove, Shakespeares

language of the self relies on descriptions of and reactions to
facial expressions and features. An analysis of Shakespeares
treatment of faces has implications for our understanding
of the context in which he wrote, and for the ongoing
interpretation and production of the plays. By bringing
together historians, theorists of performance and critics
interested in material culture and philosophies of self, this
book makes a significant contribution to our understanding
of attitudes towards embodiment in Shakespeares England.
In her study of English theatre during the Peninsular War,

Susan Valladares contextualizes the theatrical treatment of
the war within the larger political and ideological axes of
Romantic performance. From its nuanced reading of Richard
Brinsley Sheridans Pizarro (1799), to its accounts of wartime
productions of Shakespeare, description of performances
at the minor theatres, and detailed case study of dramatic
culture in Bristol, Valladaress book reveals how theatrical
entertainments reflected and shaped public feeling on the
Peninsular campaign.

Situating Burtons recognition of cognitive and spiritual

Cultural Practices and Nature Poetry

Exploring the place of nature in Victorian womens poetry,
Fabienne Moine examines the work of canonical poets
such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti,
that of lesser-known writers such as Mary Howitt and Eliza
Cook, and the verse of non-professional poets who have
received little critical attention. Moine shows that these
women reconstructed the natural world in poems that
raise questions about the validity and the scope of cultural
representations of Nature, questioning the social practices
that mould and fossilise cultural identities.

Music Studies
Beethoven
The Business of Opera
Death and the Rock Star
Edited by Michael Spitzer, University of Liverpool, UK
Edited by Anastasia Belina-Johnson, Royal College of

Music, UK and Derek B. Scott, University of Leeds, UK
Edited by Catherine Strong, RMIT University, Australia

and Barbara Lebrun, University of Manchester, UK
ASHGATE INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES IN OPERA
ASHGATE POPULAR AND FOLK MUSIC SERIES
The study of the business of opera has taken on new

importance in the present harsh economic climate for the arts.
This book presents research that sheds new light on a range of
different aspects concerning marketing, audience development,
promotion, arts administration and the economic issues that
beset opera professionals. The aim of the editors has been
to put together a collection of essays that forms a coherent
whole by engaging with a single theme (business). The essays
bring the study of opera up to the twenty-first century, and are
distinguished by their concern with the business of opera here
and now in a globalized market.
This edited collection explores the reception of dead rock

stars, rock being taken in the widest sense. When music
artists die, their fellow musicians, producers, fans and the
media react differently, and this book brings together their
intertwining modalities of reception. The commercial impact
of death on record sales, copyrights, and print media is
considered, and the different justifications by living artists
for being involved with the dead, through covers, sampling
and tributes. The cultural representation of dead singers is
investigated through obituaries, biographies and biopics.
The book discusses the gendering of death and posthumous
prestige, and the enduring appeal of the notion of tragedy in
popular music culture.
THE EARLY ROMANTIC COMPOSERS
Our image of Beethoven has been transformed by the

research generated by a succession of scholars and
theorists who blazed new trails from the 1960s onwards. This
collection of articles written by leading Beethoven scholars
brings together strands of this mainly Anglo-American
research over the last fifty years and addresses a range of key
issues. The volume places Beethoven scholarship within a
historical and contemporary context and considers the future
of Beethoven studies.

Edited by Pamela Burnard, University of Cambridge, UK,
Ylva Hofvander Trulsson, Lund University, Sweden and
Johan Sderman, Malm University, Sweden
This edited collection draws together a group of international
scholars and artist-practitioners who offer a critical
introduction and exploration of Pierre Bourdieus generative
conceptual tools for advancing sociological views of music
education. The volume includes research perspectives
and studies of how Bourdieus tools have been applied in
industry and educational contexts, including the primary,
secondary and higher music education sectors. Beginning
with an introduction to Bourdieus contribution to theory
and methodology it goes on to deal in detail with illustrative
substantive studies. The concluding chapter critiques the
application of his work and examines the ways in which the
studies contained in the volume advance understanding.

Bulgarian Harmony
In Village, Wedding, and Choral Music of the
Last Century
Kalin S. Kirilov, Towson University, USA
SOAS MUSICOLOGY SERIES
There has been to date no scholarly study of the captivating

sounds of Bulgarian vertical sonorities and an in-depth study
of the Bulgarian harmonic system is long overdue. Kalin
Kirilov traces the gradual formation of a unique harmonic
system that developed in three styles of Bulgarian music:
village music from the 1930s to the 1990s, wedding music
from the 1970s to 2000, and choral arrangements (obrabotki)
creations of the socialist period (19441989). Kirilov
classifies the different approaches to harmony and situates
them in their historical and cultural contexts, establishing
new systems for analysis. In the process, he introduces a
new system for the categorization of scales.

Contemporary Transformations
Sun Zhuo, Shaanxi Normal University, China
The zheng zither is one of the most popular instruments

in contemporary China. It is commonly regarded as a solo
instrument with a continuous tradition dating back to
ancient times. But in fact, much of its contemporary solo
repertory is derived from different regional folk ensemble
repertories of the mid-twentieth century. Through a series of
case studies, this book explores how the transformation of
the Chinese zheng has constantly responded to its changing
social context, critiquing the long-standing arguments
concerning authenticity in the development of tradition.
This book is accompanied by a DVD which contains audio
visual materials relating to the authors fieldwork and zheng
performances by different musicians.

Cultural Histories of Noise,

Sound and Listening in Europe,
13001918
Edited by Ian Biddle and Kirsten Gibson,
both at Newcastle University, UK
These essays present historical case studies on the sounding
worlds of the European past. They explore ways of thinking
about sound historically, and seek to understand how people
have understood and negotiated their relationships with the
sounding world in Europe from the Middle Ages through
to the early twentieth century. They consider, in particular:
sound and music in the later Middle Ages; the politics of
sound in the early modern period; the history of the body and
perception during the Ancien Rgime; the sounds of the city
in the nineteenth century and sound and colonial rule at the
fin de sicle. Out of these case studies emerge significant
themes: sound, power and identity; sound as a marker of
power or violence; sound, physiology and sensory perception
and technologies of sound, consumption and meaning.

Grtrys Operas and the

French Public
From the Old Regime to the Restoration
R.J. Arnold
ASHGATE INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES IN OPERA
The core of Andr-Ernest-Modeste Grtrys appeal was his

mastery of song. His melodies were exported out of the
opera house into every corner of French life, serving as
folkloristic tokens of celebration and solidarity. His death in
1813 was one of the sensations of the age, setting off months
of commemorations and revivals of his work. To understand
this singular event, this interdisciplinary study looks back to
Grtrys earliest encounters with the French public during
the 1760s and 1770s, seeking the roots of his reputation in
the reactions of his listeners. The result is not simply an
exploration of the relationship between a musician and his
audiences, but of developments in musical thought and
discursive culture, and of the formation of public opinion
over a period of intense social and political change.

Magister Jacobus de Ispania,

Author of the Speculum musicae
Margaret Bent, All Souls College, University of Oxford, UK
ROYAL MUSICAL ASSOCIATION MONOGRAPHS
The Speculum musicae of the early fourteenth century is

by a long way the largest medieval treatise on music. For
nearly a century, its author has been known as Jacques de
Lige or Jacobus Leodiensis. Jacobus is certain, fixed by
an acrostic declared within the text; Lige is hypothetical,
based on evidence shown here to be less than secure. New
documentary evidence identifies its author as Magister
Jacobus de Ispania. It is here suggested that the author of
the Speculum is either someone who left no paper trail or
James of Spain, a nephew of Eleanor of Castile, whose career
is documented mostly in England. The book traces his career
and the likelihood of his authorship of the Speculum musicae.

In this survey of surviving books of music published before

1640, David Greer has gleaned information about the books
early and subsequent owners by studying the traces those
owners left in the books themselves. The result is a treasure
trove of information about musical culture in early modern
England. The temptation to scribble in books was as
irresistible to some Elizabethans as it is to some of us today
and from these inscriptions and marks of ownership Greer
has identified clues to their identity, how they kept their
music, how they used it, and the multifarious ways in which
it played a part in their lives.

Music and Transcendence

Elodie A. Roy, Glasgow School of Art, UK

MUSIC AND MATERIAL CULTURE
Media, Materiality and Memory examines the entwinement of

material music objects, technology and memory in relation to
a range of independent record labels. Moving from Edisons
phonograph to digital music files, from record collections
to online archives, Roy argues that materiality plays a
crucial role in constructing and understanding the territory
of recorded sound. A substantial contribution to the field
of music and material culture studies, this book provides a
nuanced and timely reflection on nostalgia and forgetting in
the digital age.

In 1936 the Mongolian socialist government decreed the

establishment of a film industry with the principal aim of
disseminating propaganda. It sent young rural Mongolian
musicians to Soviet conservatoires to be trained formally
as composers. On their return they utilised their traditional
Mongolian musical backgrounds and the musical skills
learned during their studies to compose scores to the 167
propaganda films produced between 1938 and 1990. Rees
provides an overview of the rich mosaic of music genres that
appeared in these soundtracks. Case studies of composers
and film scores are presented, demonstrating the influence
of cultural policy on film music and showing how film scores
complemented the ideological message of the films.

This collection of essays explores the ways in which

music relates to transcendence by bringing together the
disciplines of musicology, philosophy and theology. Music
has the capacity to take one outside of oneself and place
one in relation to that which is other. This other can be
conceived in an absolute sense, insofar as music can be
thought to place the self in relation to a divine other or
can equally well be conceived in an immanent (or secular)
sense. Contributors examine how music has not only played
a role in many philosophical and theological accounts of the
nature of existence and the self, but also provides a valuable
resource for the creation of meaning on a day-to-day basis.

The spread of UK music festivals has exploded since 2000.

In this major contribution to cultural studies, the lid is lifted
on the contemporary festival scene. Across the country,
hundreds of boutique gatherings have popped up, drawing
hundreds of thousands of festival-goers into the fields. Why
has this happened? In her richly detailed study, industry
insider Roxy Robinson uncovers the dynamics that have
led to the formation and evolution of the modern festival
scene. Tracing the history of the culture as far back as the
fifties, this book examines the tensions between authenticity
and commerce as festivals grew into a widespread,
professionalized industry.

MUSIC AND CHANGE: ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
Music is an accumulation of mediators: instruments,

languages, sheets, performers, scenes, media and so on.
Learning from music this art of infinite mediations allows
us to confront sociology with a different way of considering
objects. For this task, Hennion draws on aesthetics, art
history, science, technology and popular music studies. He
shows us that music is a collective process, which must
always be performed again and again. As part of that project,
he presents a wide-ranging series of case studies, restoring
attention to the rich and varied intermediaries through which
music is brought to life. This is the first English translation
of one of the most important works of French scholarship on
music and society.

SamulNori is a percussion quartet that has given rise to a

genre, of the same name, which is arguably Koreas most
successful traditional music of recent times. Today, there
are dozens of amateur and professional samulnori groups.
There is a canon of samulnori pieces, closely associated
with the first founding quartet but played by all, and many
creative evolutions on the basic themes, made by the rapidly
growing number of virtuosic percussionists.
This volume explores this vibrant percussion genre, charting
its origins and development, the formation of the canon of
pieces, teaching and learning strategies, new evolutions,
and current questions relating to maintaining, developing,
and sustaining samulnori in the future.

of the human voice, and more generally, the human body.
She discusses a selection of musical works in which the
human voice is captured, transformed or synthesized using
technology. This book transcends time and musical style to
reflect on the larger way in which the machine transforms
our comprehension and experience of the human voice. The
book is an interdisciplinary enterprise that combines music

The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter
treating a period of his life followed by one on the music
of that period. John Harley brings all of his considerable

Talliss works. A table places most of Talliss compositions in

Using a collection of over one thousand popular songs

from the war years, as well as around 150 soldiers songs,
John Mullen provides a fascinating insight into the world
of popular entertainment during the First World War. He
considers the position of songs of this time within the history
of popular music, and the needs, tastes and experiences of
their working-class audiences. He assesses the different
genres of musical entertainment which were common in

The Twenty-First-Century
Legacy of the Beatles
Liverpool and Popular Music Heritage Tourism
Michael Brocken, Liverpool Hope University, UK
The musical and cultural legacy of the Beatles remains

complex. In a post-industrial setting in which both popular
and traditional heritage tourism have emerged as providers
of regular employment on Merseyside, Michael Brocken
considers how major players in what might be described
as a Beatles music tourism industry have constructed new
interpretations of the past and placed these in such an order
as to re-confirm, re-create and re-work the city as a symbolic
place that both authentically and contextually represents
the Beatles.

Wax Trash and Vinyl
Treasures: Record Collecting
as a Social Practice
SERIES
Roy Shuker, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
THE LATE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY COMPOSERS
This study examines the history of record collecting; profiles

collectors and the collecting process; considers categories
and types of record collecting; and outlines and discusses
the infrastructure within which collecting operates. Shuker
situates this discussion within the broader literature on
collecting, along with issues of cultural consumption, social
identity and the construction of self in contemporary
society. Record collecting is both fascinating in its own
right, and provides insights into broader issues of nostalgia,
consumption and material culture.

Edited by Aisling Kenny, Dundalk Institute of

Technology, Ireland and Susan Wollenberg,
Lady Margaret Hall and Brasenose College,
University of Oxford, UK
This book bridges a gap in scholarship by foregrounding
the contribution of women to the nineteenth-century Lied. It
consolidates recent research in the genre, and develops an
alternative narrative that embraces an understanding of the
contributions of women. Composers including Fanny Hensel,
Clara Schumann, Pauline Viardot-Garcia and Josephine Lang
are considered with a variety of analytical approaches. In
addition to the focus on the history and theory of the Lied,
chapters explore the cultural and sociological background,
as well as engaging with gender studies, performance and
pedagogical contexts. The range of subject matter reflects
the interdisciplinary nature of current research and the
energy it generates among scholars and performers.

Series Editor: Simon P. Keefe, University of Sheffield, UK

The five composers represented in this series collectively capture the abundant variety of late eighteenth-century musical life.
C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach, once regarded primarily as successors to their father J. S. Bach and as pre-classical forerunners
to Haydn and Mozart, are now central figures in their own right; Gluck continues to be considered a pivotal contributor to the
history of opera; Haydn, the beneficiary of an extraordinary increase in scholarly interest in the last half century or so, now
occupies a place in classical musics elite; and Mozart, never out of the public eye since his death, remains a touchstone of
musical greatness.
Scholarly interest in these five composers has manifested itself in different ways over time, and the volumes in this series
feature a selection of the key contributions to the secondary literature published during the last 40 years. The essays reflect
principal areas of scholarly orientation and academic and historical context; priority has been given to articles published in
English, but a few seminal contributions appear either in a foreign language or in new, previously unpublished translations.
Each volume editor is a leading authority in the field and contributes an extended introduction which situates the contents of
each volume in broad scholarly contexts.
This series enhances appreciation of C.P.E. Bach, J.C Bach, Gluck, Haydn and Mozart, and of the environments in which they
worked and the musical cultures in which they flourished, and stimulates further engagement with the extensive secondary
literature, as well as providing scholars, students and libraries with an indispensable reference source.

C.P.E. Bach
Edited by David Schulenberg, Wagner College, USA
The second son of J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach was an important
composer in his own right, as well as a writer and performer
on keyboard instruments. He has always been the subject
of significant scholarship and publication but interest
has sharply increased over the past two or three decades
from performers as well as music historians. This volume
incorporates important writings not only on the composer
and his chief works but also on theoretical issues and
performance questions. The focus throughout is on relatively
recent scholarship otherwise available only in hard-to-access

Insurgency, Governance and Peacebuilding

Edited by John Idriss Lahai and Tanya Lyons,
Flinders University, Australia
THE ASHGATE PLUS SERIES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
AND POLITICS
Through a multidisciplinary approach, African Frontiers

counters the superficial, Eurocentric and gender insensitive
dominant discursive representation of Africa within the
discourse of war and conflict management, and security
and peace/nation-building. Situating the study within the
context of the prevailing cultural and geo-political realities
in the postcolonial African states, the chapters illustrate
the complex ways in which events and processes are
experienced at the local level, and how these local realities in
turn impact and shape the patterns of political and military
engagement in Africa and beyond.

Australias Nuclear Policy develops a holistic conception
of nuclear policy that extends across the three distinct but
related spheres strategic, economic and normative that
have arisen from the basic dual-use dilemma of nuclear
technology. Existing scholarship on Australias nuclear
policy has generally grappled with each of these spheres
in isolation. In a fresh evaluation of the field, the authors
investigate the broader aims of Australian nuclear policy
and detail how successive Australian governments have
engaged with nuclear issues since 1945.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
What happens to the citizen when states and nations come

into being? How do the different ways in which states and
nations exist define relations between individuals, groups,
and the government? Are all citizens equal in their rights and
duties in the newly established polity? Addressing these key
questions in the contested and ethnically heterogeneous postYugoslav states of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and
Montenegro, this book reinterprets the place of citizenship in
the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the creation of new states
in the Western Balkans. Carefully analysing the interplay
between competing ethnic identities and state-building
projects, the author proposes a new analytical framework for
studying continuities and discontinuities of citizenship in postpartition, post-conflict states.

The Caribbean is a complex, enigmatic region, characterised

by great disparities in size, population, geography, history,
language, religion, race and politics. This is a region in
which harmony and discord work in tandem, trying to
link economic logic with political logic. At the same time,
this book is a comprehensive historical record especially
highlighting hindrances to development in this region. This
study raises two important issues: the political imperative
of convergence and the need for appropriate correcting
mechanisms that align the needs of the local with the
regional. It is a volume that underlines the need for a change
in strategy and makes proposals as to how to go about
making those changes.

Are Western and Islamic political and constitutional

ideas truly predestined for civilizational clash? In order to
understand this controversy The Concert of Civilizations
begins by deriving and redefining a definition of
constitutionalism that is suitable for comparative, crosscultural analysis. The rule of law, reflection of national
character, and the clear delineation and limitation of
governmental power are used as lenses through which
thinkers like Cicero, Montesquieu, and the authors of
The Federalist Papers can be read alongside al-Farabi,
ibn Khaldun, and the Ottoman Tanzimat decrees.

Croatia and the European Union

Changes and Development
Edited by Pero Maldini and Davor Paukovic,
both at the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia
For accession to the EU Croatia had to meet significantly

higher criteria than previous states, with suspicion and
concerns among existing members about further enlargement
increasing. Meanwhile initially strong public support in
Croatia declined as inconsistencies in EU policy, entry criteria
and problems caused by the economic crisis all combined
with fears about the loss of national identity and the ability to
realize national interests. The successful Croatian accession
to the EU in 2013 shows that, despite concerns on both sides,
the EU continues to have meaning and significance and that
membership remains highly desirable. Through nine mutually
interrelated chapters the contributors speak not only about the
political and social situation in Croatia, but also prospects for
the European Union itself.

Does dialogue really resolve conflicts? In this unique volume
international experts critically assess the political role of
dialogue, addressing its potential and limitations. Bringing
fascinating insights to bear they examine the theoretical

and the conflict resolution attempts discussed. Using these
cases the contributors explore in depth the nature of the
dialogue between the actors, the extent to which it worked
and what determined its impact.

International defense industrial sectors have faced many

challenges over the last twenty years, and in the current
environment they struggle with the need to maintain critical
aspects of the defense industrial base. Because the defense
sector in the US is interconnected with other global defense

both historically and in the current environment, assessing

regional common heritage. In search of varying viewpoints,

Ongoing events, such as the recent waves made by China

Strategies for a Changing World
Do the EU and NATO threaten Russian security? This book

explores the rise of these exclusive inter-democratic security
institutions after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the
ensuing effects on relations with Russia. Two competing
theories are tested to explore whether these institutions
aggravate or mitigate the security dilemma with Russia.
Glenn Diesen argues that a European security architecture
that demotes the largest state on the continent to an object
of security inevitably results in European integration
becoming a zero-sum geopolitical project that has set the
West on a collision course with Russia.

strategies designed to cope with these emergencies. Joining
the debate about bilateral and multilateral allocation of
foreign aid in crisis situations and exploring the cooperative
actions undertaken by the European Union and its Member
States to cope with them the book questions how the context
of the crises themselves impacts on strategies of intervention
and investigates how strategies change depending on the
characteristics of the crisis.

This volume explores the summits performance, the

division of labour during their coexistence, their comparative
strengths and limitations, and how the future partnership
could be improved to benefit the global community. The
authors explain the recent evolution and performance
of the G8 and G20 summits and their evolving empirical
relationship. They consider the G8/G20 relationship with
other actors engaged in global governance, notably the major
multilateral organizations and civil society. They assess G7/8
and G20 effectiveness and accountability. And they identify,
based on this empirical and analytical foundation, how the
relationship can be improved for todays tightly wired world.

Despite the high profile media reporting on sexual violence

in the DRC, and the widely publicized responses of the
international community, there is still very little real analysis of
the real situation of women in the country. This book provides
such detailed analysis of gender relations in the DRC, and goes
beyond the usual explanations of sexual violence as a product
of conflict, to examine the complex and socially constructed
gender norms and roles which underlie incidences of violence.
The book benefits from a comprehensive account of mens
and womens roles in conflict, violence, peace building and
reconstruction, and evaluates the impacts of national and
international political responses.

This book contributes to debates by demonstrating how

issues of (in-)security affect humanitarian NGOs and the
humanitarian identity, situating the structural changes
within the humanitarian NGO community in the context of
conflict aid governance and explains how non-state actors
establish their own governance structures, independent from
state-sponsored solutions, and contributes to the emerging
literature on the redefinition of the concept of epistemic
communities.

The enduring debate on institutional pillars of contemporary

Mageza-Barthel addresses issues of global governance in

gender politics through such international frameworks as
CEDAW, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action,
as well as Resolution 1325. These instruments have been
brought forth by a transnational womens movement to
benefit women and womens rights across the globe. This
book shows how these gender norms were introduced,
adapted and contested locally at a crucial time of the
transformation process underway. Concerned with the
interplay of domestic and international politics, it also
alludes to the unique circumstances in Rwanda that have led
to unprecedented levels of womens political representation.

Primary elections for choosing party leaders and candidates

America but questions as to how much they hinder a partys
organizational strength and cohesion or affect electoral
performance have largely been ignored outside of the
USA. Party Primaries in Comparative Perspective gives a

Edited by Soeren Keil, Canterbury Christ Church

University, UK and Valery Perry, Democratization Policy
Council, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sex, Slavery and the Trafficked Woman is a go-to text for

readers who seek a comprehensive overview of the meaning
of human trafficking and current debates and perspectives
on the issue. It presents a more nuanced understanding
of human trafficking and its victims by examining and
challenging the conventional assumptions that sit at the
heart of mainstream approaches to the topic.
Bosnia and Herzegovina offers a useful lens through which

to view international state-building and democratization
efforts. International engagement here incorporated
significant civilian and military investment and has been
ongoing for many years. In each chapter international
scholars and field-based practitioners examine the link
between post-war events and a structure that effectively
embeds ethno-national politics and tensions into the fabric
of the country. These contributors offer lessons to be learned,
and practices to be avoided whilst considering whether, as
state-building and democratization efforts have struggled in
this relatively advanced European country, they can succeed
in other fragile states.
Based on a unique comparative study of Burundi, Rwanda,

Ethiopia, Lebanon, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nepal, Myanmar,
the Philippines, and Fiji this book analyses the formal
and informal arrangements defining the post-conflict
political order in these countries and evaluates whether
these systems strengthened or weakened the chances of
establishing sustainable peace and lasting democracy.

FEDERALISM STUDIES
Dominic Burbidge, Princeton University, USA
Assessing the impact of increasing calls for wider fiscal

autonomy in the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Brazil,
Germany, Italy and the USA this volume updates and adds
significant new context to the debate. Framing the discussion
on fiscal autonomy and drawing out ethical considerations
it portrays the problems connected with the devolution of
responsibilities and financial resources to sections of the
population, sometimes content to be part of a lower layer of
government, sometimes aspiring to an asymmetrical position
or total independence.
Why has democracy failed to reduce corruption in Kenya?

Framing the challenge in game theoretical terms, Dominic
Burbidge examines how mutual expectations between citizens
dictate the success or failure of political reforms. Providing a
nuanced assessment of democracys difficult road in Kenya,
Burbidge discusses the independent role being played
by widespread social expectations of corruption. Through
tracking average views of the average person, it is possible
to identify a threshold beyond which society suffers mutually
reinforcing negative social expectations.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, ETHICS AND

Series Editors: Jai C. Galliott, The University of New South Wales, Australia, Avery Plaw, University of Massachusetts,
USA and Katina Michael, University of Wollongong, Australia
This series examines the crucial ethical, legal and public policy questions arising from or exacerbated by the design,
development and eventual adoption of new technologies across all related fields, from education and engineering to
medicine and military affairs.
The books revolve around two key themes:
Moral issues in research, engineering and design
Ethical, legal and political/policy issues in the use and regulation of technology
This series encourages submission of cutting-edge research monographs and edited collections with a particular focus on
forward-looking ideas concerning innovative or as yet undeveloped technologies. Whilst there is an expectation that authors
will be well grounded in philosophy, law or political science, consideration will be given to future-orientated works that cross
these disciplinary boundaries. The interdisciplinary nature of the series editorial team offers the best possible examination of
works that address the ethical, legal and social implications of emerging technologies.
US Climate Change Policy

Christopher J. Bailey, Keele University, UK
TRANSFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS AND POLICY
The United States has widely been perceived as sceptical,

if not hostile, to the need to address man-made climate
change. However, a careful examination of the evidence
reveals a number of policy actions designed to investigate,
mitigate, and adapt to climate change have been
implemented. Laws, regulatory action, and court rulings have
led to advances in climate science, action to reduce levels
of greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to prepare for the
potential consequences of climate change. In this important
book Chris Bailey explains and details the challenges and
achievements of US climate change policy from its origins to
the present day.

Developing the conceptualisation of the relationship between

transnational remittance exchanges and gender, this book
provides a number of case studies of relationships between
gender and remittances from around the world, highlighting
different processes and practises. This book provides
conceptual insights to better understand how remittances
affect gender identity, roles and relations (at both the
receiving and sending end) and give specific attention to
the roles of various actors directly and indirectly involved
in remittance sending in current collectively organized
remittance schemes from around the world. This adds a
wealth of insights to a field that is remarkably understudied
despite a volume of studies on gender and the feminization
of migration in developing contexts.

The author explores the role of care and develops a valuesensitive ethical framework for the eventual employment of
care robots. Highlighting the range of positive and negative
aspects associated with the initiative to design and use care
robots, it draws out essential content as a guide to future
design both reinforcing this studys contemporary relevance,
and giving weight to its prescriptions. The book speaks
to, and is meant to be read by, a range of disciplines from

Unmanned combat air vehicles-i.e. drones-have become a

prominent instrument in US efforts to counter objective (and
subjective) cross-border terrorist threats with lethal force.
As a result, critical questions abound on the legitimacy of
their use. In a series of multidisciplinary essays, this book
explores the question of legitimacy through the conceptual
lenses of legality, morality and efficacy, and then closes with
the consideration of a policy proposal aimed at incorporating
all three indispensable elements.

Today, with the advent of unmanned systems, military
hopes are attached to the idea that battles can be fought
with soldiers pressing buttons in distant command centres.
However, soldiers must now be highly trained, super strong
and have the intelligence and mental capacity to handle the
highly complex and dynamic military operating environment.
This book provides the first comprehensive and unifying
analysis of the moral, legal and social questions concerning
military human enhancement, with a view toward developing
guidance and policy that may influence real-world decision

Exposing several analytical weaknesses of todays sociology
of religion, (Un-)Believing in Modern Society presents a new
theory of religious-secular competition and a new typology
of ways of being religious/secular. The authors draw on a
specific European society (Switzerland) as their test case,
using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to
show how the theory can be applied. Identifying four ways
of being religious/secular in a modern society: institutional,
alternative, distanced and secular they show how and
why these forms have emerged as a result of religioussecular competition and describe in what ways all four forms
are adapted to the current, individualized society.

This book explores the vital, common, yet surprisingly often
misunderstood and neglected vocation of those gifted to
combine academic and priestly roles in church, churchrelated, and secular academic contexts. With a specific
focus on Anglicanism as one useful lens, this book draws
on the experiences and expertise of voices from around
the Anglican Communion; particularly from those who are
themselves good examples of an academic-priestly vocation.

Congregational Hermeneutics
How Do We Read?
Andrew P. Rogers, University of Roehampton, UK
EXPLORATIONS IN PRACTICAL, PASTORAL AND
EMPIRICAL THEOLOGY
Despite many churches claiming that the Bible is highly

significant for their doctrine and practice, questions
about how we read the Bible are rarely made explicit.
Based on ethnographic research in English churches,
Congregational Hermeneutics explores this dissonance and
moves beyond descriptions to propose ways of enriching
hermeneutical practices in congregations. Characterised
as hermeneutical apprenticeship, this is not just a matter
of learning certain skills, but of cultivating hermeneutical
virtues such as faithfulness, community, humility, confidence
and courage. These virtues are given substance through
looking at four broad themes that emerge from the analysis
of congregational hermeneutics tradition, practices,
epistemology and mediation. Concluding with what
hermeneutical apprenticeship might look like in practice,
this book is constructively theological about what churches
actually do with the Bible, and will be of interest to scholars,
students and practitioners.

ASHGATE AHRC/ESRC RELIGION AND SOCIETY SERIES
Edited by Abby Day, University of Kent, UK and

Mia Lvheim, University of Uppsala, Sweden
This book offers unique perspectives on contemporary issues

in the worldwide Anglican communion, an organisation
undergoing significant and rapid change with important
religious and wider sociological consequences.
Examining the recent radical re-invention of monastic

tradition in the everyday life of New Monastic Communities,
Palmisano considers how new Catholic communities are
renewing monastic life by emphasizing the most innovative
and disruptive theological aspects which they identify
in the Council. Despite freely adopting and adapting
their Rule of Life, the new communities do not belong
to pre-existing orders or congregations. Offering unique
sociological insights into New Monastic Communities, the
book asks what monastic means today and whether these
communities can still be described as such.
The book explores what the academic research community,

Anglican clergy and laypeople are suggesting are critical
issues facing the Anglican communion as power and
authority relations shift, including: gender roles, challenges
of an aging population, demands and opportunities
generated by young people, impact of social class and
income differences, and variable patterns of congregational
growth and decline.

DIALOGUES IN SOUTH ASIAN TRADITIONS: RELIGION,

PHILOSOPHY, LITERATURE AND HISTORY
Dialogue between characters is an important feature of

South Asian religious literature: entire narratives are often
presented as a dialogue between two or more individuals,
or the narrative or discourse is presented as a series of
embedded conversations from different times and places.
Including some of the most established scholars of South
Asian religious texts, this book examines the use of dialogue
in early South Asian texts with an interdisciplinary approach
that crosses traditional boundaries between religious
traditions. The contributors shed new light on the cultural
ideas and practices within religious traditions, as well
presenting an understanding of a range of dynamics from
hostile and competitive to engaged and collaborative. This
book is the first to explore the literary dimensions of dialogue
in South Asian religious sources, helping to reframe the
study of other literary traditions around the world.

CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS
IN CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM
Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, historical analysis

of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the
apostles Paul and James. McDowell assesses the evidence
for each apostles martyrdom as well as determining
its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The
willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular
argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers
insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new
ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church
History and apologetics.
Mysticism in the French Tradition introduces key

philosophical undercurrents and trajectories in French
thought that underpin and arise from this engagement,
as well as considering earlier French contributions to

access to the melting pot out of which the mystical tradition
in France erupted in the twenty-first century, and from which
it continues to challenge theology today.

Modernities, Memory and Mutations presents an overview

and critical engagement with contemporary themes in
the sociology of religion which will inform current and
forthcoming generations of scholars. Reflecting on how
Grace Davies contributions have influenced their own work
and wider debates in the field, leading international scholars
engage with themes Davie has critically explored across
religious studies and mainstream sociology evolving a new
research agenda for sociology of religion.
An invaluable compendium of case-studies, academic

reflection and critical enquiry, this Handbook offers a fresh
understanding of traditional, contemporary and innovative
forms of spiritual practice as they are witnessed in the public
sphere. Providing a wide-ranging appraisal of chaplaincy in
an era of religious complexity and emergent spiritualities,
this pioneering book is a major contribution to a relatively
underdeveloped field and sets out how the phenomenon of
chaplaincy can be better understood and its practice more
robust and informed.

Personal Identity and
Buddhist Philosophy
Fully revised and updated, and drawing on developments

in the authors own thinking, Sideritss second edition
explores the conversation between Buddhist and Western
Philosophy showing how concepts and tools drawn from
one philosophical tradition can help solve problems arising
in another.
Siderits discusses afresh areas involved in the philosophical
investigation of persons, including recent attempts by
scholars of Buddhist philosophy to defend the attribution
of an emergentist account of personhood to at least some
Buddhists, and whether a distinctively Buddhist antirealism
can avoid problems that beset other forms of ontological
anti-foundationalism.
Poetry and Prayer focuses on the relationship of poetry and

prayer as aspects of human spirituality and of the expression
of that spirituality. Interdisciplinary and ecumenical in scope,
the volume offers theoretical discussion on the profound
connection between poetic inspiration and prayer as well
as reflection on and close reading of the work of individual
writers and of different traditions. The volume reinforces
contemporary theological concern with poetic experience
and expression distinct from the propositional discourse
traditionally favoured by theologians.

Philip Doddridge (170251) pastored a sizeable evangelical

congregation in Northampton, England, and ran a training
academy for Dissenters which prepared men for pastoral
ministry. Offering a fresh look at Doddridges thought, the
book provides a criticial examination of the accepted view
that Doddridge was influenced in his thinking primarily by
Richard Baxter and John Locke. Exploring the influence
of other streams of thought, from John Owen and other
Puritan writers to Samuel Clarke and Isaac Watts, as well as
interaction with contemporaries in Dissent, the book shows
Doddridge to be a leader in an evangelical Dissent which was
essentially Calvinistic in its theology, adapted to the contours
and culture of its times.

Deconstruction, Materialism
and Religious Practices
Katharine Sarah Moody
INTENSITIES: CONTEMPORARY CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY
OF RELIGION
John D. Caputos deconstructive theology and Slavoj ieks

materialist theology are two radical theologies that explore
what it might mean to pass through the death of God and
to abandon this experience as specifically Christian. Moody
demonstrates how these theologies are transforming
everyday religious practices through an examination of the
work of Peter Rollins and Kester Brewin, two figures at the
radical margins of a contemporary expression of western
religiosity called emerging Christianity. The author uses
her analysis of all four figures to argue that deconstructive
practices can enable religious communities to become part
of a wider materialist collective in which the death of God
continues to resonate.

The Scandal of Evangelicals
and Homosexuality
The Symbolic Scenarios

of Islamism
Theological Philosophy
English Evangelical Texts, 19602010
A Study in Islamic Political Thought
Lydia Schumacher, University of Edinburgh, UK
Mark Vasey-Saunders, Team Vicar Retford, Southwell

and Nottingham Diocese, UK
Andrea Mura, The Open University, UK
TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES IN PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY
CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD
English evangelicals give the appearance of being a

community at war, with each other and with the world
around them. The issue of homosexuality is one of the key
battlegrounds. How has this issue become so significant to
evangelicals? Why is it provoking such violent responses?
The Scandal of Evangelicals and Homosexuality offers an
alternative perspective, seeking not to present an answer
to the ethical question, but rather to examine the way the
debate has become scandalised and consider the cost. It
offers a window into contemporary English evangelicalism
and provides an important contribution to international and
ecumenical debate.
The Symbolic Scenarios of Islamism initiates a dialogue

between the discourse of three of the most discussed
figures in the history of the Sunni Islamic movement
Hasan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb and Osama bin Laden and
contemporary debates across religion and political theory.
Redressing the inefficiency of the terms in which the
debate on Islam and Islamism is generally conducted, the
book examines the role played by tradition, modernity, and
transmodernity as major symbolic scenarios of Islamist
discourses, highlighting the internal complexity and
dynamism of Islamism.
For much of the modern period, theologians and philosophers

of religion have struggled with the problem of proving that
it is rational to believe in God. Drawing on the thought of
Thomas Aquinas, Theological Philosophy seeks to overturn
the longstanding problem of proving faiths rationality and
to establish instead that rationality requires to be explained
by appeals to faith. Building on a constructive argument
developed in a companion book, Rationality as Virtue, Lydia
Schumacher advances the conclusion that belief in the God of
Christian faith provides an exceptionally robust rationale for
rationality and is as such intrinsically rational.

The Seductions of Pilgrimage

Sacred Journeys Afar and Astray in the
Western Religious Tradition
Edited by Michael A. Di Giovine, West Chester University,
USA and David Picard, University of Lisbon, Portugal
ASHGATE STUDIES IN PILGRIMAGE
The Seductions of Pilgrimage focuses on the varied

discursive, imaginative, and practical mechanisms of
seduction that draw individual pilgrims to a pilgrimage site;
the objects, places, and paradigms that pilgrims leave behind
as they embark on their hyper-meaningful travel experience,
and the often unforeseen elements that lead pilgrims off
their desired course. Presenting the first comprehensive
study of the role of seduction on individual pilgrims in the
study of pilgrimage and tourism, it will appeal to scholars
of anthropology, cultural geography, tourism, heritage, and
religious studies.

Young Sikhs in a Global World
Rationality as Virtue

Towards a Theological Philosophy

Lydia Schumacher, University of Edinburgh, UK
TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES IN PHILOSOPHY
AND THEOLOGY
For much of the modern period, theologians and

philosophers of religion have struggled with the problem
of proving that it is rational to believe in God. Drawing on
the thought of Thomas Aquinas, this book, a companion to
Theological Philosophy, lays the foundation for an innovative
effort to overturn the longstanding problem of proving faiths
rationality, and to establish instead that rationality requires
to be explained by appeals to faith. To this end, Schumacher
advances the constructive argument that rationality is
not only an epistemological question concerning the
soundness of human thoughts, which she defines in terms of
intellectual virtue.

solve social, intellectual and psychological tensions between
the family, the expectations of the majority society, Punjabi
culture and religious values.

A Sociology of Prayer
Edited by Giuseppe Giordan, University of Padua, Italy
and Linda Woodhead, University of Lancaster, UK
Why do people pray and in what situations and settings?

Does prayer imply a god, and if so, what sort? A Sociology of
Prayer addresses these fundamental questions and opens up
important new debates.
Drawing from religion, anthropology and historical
perspectives, the contributors focus particularly on prayer
as a social and personal matter, and situate prayer in the
conditions of complex, late modern societies worldwide.
Presenting fresh empirical data in relation to original
theorising, the volume examines the material aspects of
prayer, including the objects, bodies, symbols and spaces
with which it may be integrally connected.

Affectivity and Race
Studies from Nordic Contexts
Edited by Rikke Andreassen, Roskilde University, Denmark
and Kathrine Vitus, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
This book presents new empirical studies of social
difference in the Nordic welfare states, in order to advance
novel theoretical perspectives on the everyday practices
and macro-politics of race and gender in multi-ethnic
societies. With attention to the specific political and
cultural landscapes of the Nordic countries, Affectivity and
Race draws on a variety of sources, including television
programmes, news media, fictional literature, interviews,
ethnographic observations, teaching curricula and policy
documents, to explore the ways in which ideas about
affectivity and emotion afford new insights into the
experience of racial difference and the unfolding of political
discourses on race in various social spheres.

African American Culture and

Society After Rodney King
Provocations and Protests, Progression
and Post-Racialism
Edited by Josephine Metcalf, Hull University, UK and
Carina Spaulding, University of Manchester, UK
1992 was a pivotal moment in African American history,
with the Rodney King riots providing palpable evidence of
racialized police brutality, media stereotyping of African
Americans, and institutional discrimination. Following the
twentieth anniversary of the Los Angeles uprising, this
time period allows reflection on the shifting state of race
in America, considering these stark realities as well as the
election of the countrys first black president, a growing
African American middle class, and the black authors and
artists significantly contributing to Americas cultural output.

Popular Contention in Times of Economic Crisis

Edited by Marco Giugni, University of Geneva, Switzerland
and Maria Grasso, University of Sheffield, UK
THE MOBILIZATION SERIES ON SOCIAL MOVEMENTS,
PROTEST, AND CULTURE
What is the relationship between economic crises and

protest behaviour? Does the experience of austerity, or
economic hardship more broadly defined, create a greater
potential for protest? With protest movements and events
such as the Indignados and the Occupy Movement receiving
a great deal of attention in the media and in the popular
imaginary in recent times, this path-breaking book offers
a rigorously-researched, evidence-based set of chapters
on the relationship between austerity and protest. In so
doing, it provides a thorough overview of different theories,
mechanisms, patterns and trends which will contextualize
more recent developments, and provide a pivotal point of
reference on the relationship between these two variables.

With analyses of the ways in which consumerism has
played out in society, Consumerism on TV highlights specific
aspects of the changing nature of consumerism by way of
considerations of gender, sexuality and class, as well as less
definable changes such as those to do with the celebration
of ostentatious greed or the righteousness of the ethical
shopper.

Bullying as a Social Experience presents data from both

around the world to show how social context and factors
shape individuals behaviors and experiences. By engaging
with bullying from a sociological framework, it becomes
clearer how bullying occurs and why it persists throughout a
society, while also allowing for the development of means by
which the social factors that support such behavior can be
addressed through intervention.

Dialogue in Democracy
Edited by Lia Bryant, The University of South Australia
The Politics of Dialogue in Theory and Practice
Presenting a multi- and interdisciplinary consideration

of current research on the cultural relationship to living
(and non-living) bodies, Corporeality and Culture puts the
body in focus. From performance and body modification
to film, literature and other cultural technologies, this
volume undertakes a significant speculative mapping of the
current possibilities for engagement, transformation and
variance of embodied movement in relation to scientificallysituated corporealities and materialities in cultural and
artistic practices. Time and time again, it finds these evershifting modes of being to be inextricably interdependent
and coextensive: movement requires embodiment; and
embodiment is a form of movement.
This volume develops critical and creative research

methodologies that place questions of social justice at
their centre and take innovative approaches to collecting,
analysing, interpreting and presenting research data. The
first section of the book examines textual data produced
from an array of methodologies focused on the spoken
and/or written word. These approaches allow those who
are often silenced to speak by providing space and time
to capture memory and meanings that may not come to
light in a time driven structured research method like an
interview or a questionnaire. The second section of the
book discusses visual methods, including an examination
of historical artefacts like, photographs and objects, and
participant engagement with art, specifically clay sculpture
and drawings.

and materials, and political and economic regimes, this book

CITIES AND SOCIETY
Cities can be seen as geographical imaginaries: places have

meanings attributed so that they are perceived, represented
and interpreted in a particular way. We may therefore speak
of cityness rather than the city: the city is always in the
making. This book challenges common understandings, and
argues for an approach that sees neighbourhood effects as
the outcome of processes of marginalisation and exclusion
that find spatial expressions in the city elsewhere. This book
analyses urban inequalities through the lens of the city in the
making, where neighbourhood comes to play a role, at some
times, in some practices, and at some moments, but is not
the point of departure.

This volume presents a new perspective for discussing

the European social contract and its main challenges,
bringing together single-nation and comparative studies
from across Europe. Presenting both theoretical discussions
and empirical case studies, it explores various aspects of
social cohesion, including social protection, the labour
market, social movements, healthcare, social inequalities
and poverty. With particular attention to the effects of
the international economic and financial crisis on social
cohesion, particularly in the light of the implementation
of so-called austerity measures, authors engage with
questions surrounding the possible fragmentation of the
European model of social cohesion and the transformation
of forms of social protection, asking whether social cohesion
continues to represent if it ever did a common feature of
European countries.

ebook PDF
ebook ePUB
This book explores the contemporary phenomenon of forced

marriage and honour killings in Britain. Set against a
background of increasing honour-based violence within
the countrys South Asian and Muslim Diasporas, the book
traces the development of the honour question over the
past two decades. It accordingly witnesses unprecedented
changes in public awareness and government policy
including ground-breaking honour-specific legislation
and the criminalisation of forced marriage. All of which
makes Britain an important context for the study of this now
indigenous and self-perpetuating social problem.

Genes and the Bioimaginary
Global Manga
The Idea of Englishness
Science, Spectacle, Culture
Japanese Comics without Japan?
Deborah Lynn Steinberg, University of Warwick, UK
Edited by Casey Brienza, City University London, UK
English Culture, National Identity

and Social Thought
Genes and the Bioimaginary reflects on the rise and cultural

apotheosis of the gene, examining the genetification of
culture and shedding light on emergence of the gene at
the intersection of science and culture and as a product
of science as culture. Employing a distinctive array of
interdisciplinary analytic tools, it explores the rise of the
gene in several respects: as a site of knowledge production
crossing boundaries between the clinical-scientific and the
popular; as a gateway technology and locus of transforming
bioethical values and modes of bodily governance; and as
site of spectacle, projective fantasy and attachment.
Outside Japan, the term manga usually refers to comics

originally published in Japan. Yet nowadays many
publications labelled manga are not translations of
Japanese works but rather have been wholly conceived and
created elsewhere. This book takes seriously the political
economy and cultural production of this so-called global
manga produced throughout the Americas, Europe, and
Asia and explores the conditions under which it arises
and flourishes; what counts as manga and who gets to
decide; the implications of global manga for contemporary
economies of cultural and creative labour; the ways in
which it is shaped by or mixes with local cultural forms and
contexts; and, ultimately, what it means for manga to be
authentically Japanese in the first place.

Global Culture: Consciousness

and Connectivity
Edited by Roland Robertson, University of Aberdeen, UK,
University of Pittsburgh, USA and Tsinghua University,
China, and Didem Buhari-Gulmez, London School of
Economics and Political Science, European Institute
GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
With contemporary worldwide culture increasingly

characterized by such themes as astronomy, cosmology,
space travel and exploration, there is an increasing
disjuncture between academic concern with connectivity,
on the one hand, and culture and consciousness of the
place of planet earth in the cosmos as a whole, on the
other. This book addresses this deficiency from a variety of
closely related perspectives, presenting studies of religion,
science, sport, international organizations, global resistance
movements and migrations and developments in East Asia.

Hearing Impairment
and Hearing Disability
Towards a Paradigm Change
in Hearing Services
Edited by Anthony Hogan and Rebecca Phillips,
both at the University of Canberra, Australia
INTERDISCIPLINARY DISABILITY STUDIES
The purpose of this book is to challenge people to rethink

the way western society thinks about hearing disability
and the way it seeks to include them. With stigma and
marginalisation being the two most critical issues impacting
on people with hearing disability, Hogan and Phillips
document both the collective and personal impacts of
such marginality. In so doing, the book brings forward an
argument for a paradigm shift in hearing services. Drawing
upon the latest research and policy work, the book opens
up a conceptual framework for a new approach to hearing
services and looks at the kinds of personal and systemic
changes a paradigm shift would entail.

Images of Blood
in American Cinema
The Tingler to The Wild Bunch
Kjetil Rdje, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Through studying images of blood in film from the mid-1950s
to the end of the 1960s, this path-breaking book explores
how blood as an (audio)visual cinematic element went from
predominately operating as a signifier, providing audiences
with information about a films plot and characters, to
increasingly operating in terms of affect, potentially evoking
visceral and embodied responses in viewers. Using films
such as The Return of Dracula, The Tingler, Blood Feast, Two
Thousand Maniacs, Colour Me Blood Red, Bonnie and Clyde,
and The Wild Bunch, Rdje takes a novel approach to film
history by following one (audio)visual element through an
exploration that traverses established standards for film
production and reception.

and Jean-Sbastien Vayre, University of Toulouse,

In todays consumer society, shopping is the kind of
mundane and routine kind of mobility that we all engage
in. Yet having a first child or growing old radically changes
peoples logistical habits as consumers, what the authors
of this book call consumer logistics. Exploring consumer
mobility through the lens of life phase and age will deepen
the understanding of hitherto under-researched aspects of
the ageing process and of mobility, knowledge that is of vital
importance for societies striving for sustainable mobility and
sustainable cities.

Webers theory of meaning and modernity is articulated

through an understanding of his account of the way in which
the pursuit of meaning in the modern world has been shaped
by the loss of Western religion and how such pursuit gives
sense to the phenomena of human suffering and death.
Through a close, scholarly reading of Webers extensive
writings and Vocation Lectures, the author explores the
concepts of paradox and brotherliness as found in Webers
work, in order to offer an original exposition of Webers
actual theory of how meaning and meaninglessness work in
the modern world.
Many scholars see caregiving relationships as being based

on mutual dependency or interdependency. Extensively
cited notions of the global care chain or international
division of reproductive labour have prepared the ground
for analysis of global interdependencies in several domains.
Souralov considers caregiving to be a formative activity
that establishes ties between the concerned actors,
whose subjectivities are mutually shaped in the daily
practice of caregiving. With its stress on mutuality in care
work, this ground-breaking book illuminates the new
forms of interpersonal, interethnic, and intergenerational
relationships and highlights the mechanisms and processes
in which kinship ties are negotiated and reproduced.

A Moment of Equality

Challenges for Redistribution
London the Promised

Edited by Anne J. Kershen, Queen Mary University of
London, UK
STUDIES IN MIGRATION AND DIASPORA
Some two decades since the publication of London the

Promised Land?, which charted and investigated the
successes and failures of the migrant experience in London
over a period of three hundred years, this book re-examines
the migrant landscape in London. Examining the changes to
the migrant landscape of contemporary London at the micro,
meso and macro levels, London The Promised Land Revisited
explores a range experiences in the capital, including the
presence and treatment of illness amongst migrants, the
phenomenon of migrant invisibility and asylum, the migrant
marketplace and ethnic clustering, and interaction with
local and national government across a variety of migrant
groups, both new and old. As such, this book will appeal to
scholars across the social sciences with interest in migration,
migrant experiences and the contemporary global city.
ENTANGLED INEQUALITIES: EXPLORING GLOBAL ASYMMETRIES
Focusing on the limits and challenges of redistributive

policies in Latin America, this volume synthesizes and
updates the discussion of inequality in the region,
introducing the perspective of global and transnational
interdependencies. The book explores the extent to
which redistributive policies have been interlinked with
the provision and quality of public goods as well as with
structural changes of the productive sector. Inspired by
structuralist and neostructuralist thinking of Latin American
economists, authors question the redistributive impact of the
interplay of recent macroeconomic, fiscal and social policies,
particularly under left and center-left administrations
committed to greater equality.

$119.95
THEORY, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY
This book explores the intertwining of politics and ontology,

shedding light on the ways in which, as our ability to
investigate, regulate, appropriate, enhance and destroy
material reality have developed, so new social scientific
accounts of nature and our relationship with it have
emerged, together with new forms of power. Engaging
with cutting-edge social theory and elaborating on the
thought of Foucault, Heidegger, Adorno and Agamben, the
author demonstrates that the convergence of ontology with
politics is not simply an intellectual endeavour of growing
import, but also a governmental practice which builds upon
neoliberal programmes, the renewed accumulation of capital
and the development of technosciences in areas such as
climate change, geoengineering and biotechnology.

Drawing on archival research in the US, UK and Australia,

the author asks what the emergence of same-sex marriage
movements and legislation mean for challenges to the
nuclear family in the light of an original general hostility
to marriage and family structures in the gay liberation
movement, whilst considering the extent to which the
nuclear family might be included in the list of social and
economic institutions subject to criticism on the part of more
recent anti-capitalist movements, such as Occupy. A detailed
study of the extent to which the nuclear family remains
susceptible to the radical critiques of the last century,
Radical Challenges to the Family examines whether the
original challenges shed light on ensuring social problems,
including domestic violence, child abuse, homophobia, and
growing marital dissatisfaction.

Anna Arrowsmith
SEXUALITIES IN SOCIETY
In this path-breaking book Anna Arrowsmith analyzes

gendered dating behavior and shows how mens behavior is
both defined and illustrated by societal norms that require a
particular masculine performance, including those desired
by potential female performers. Using the case-study of
pick-up artistry which is compared to interviews with other
men who date women, this book analyzes how the men deal
with conflicting ideas borne out of living in an age when both
hegemonic (harder, historic) and inclusive (softer, modern)
masculinities co-exist.

The Securitization and

Research Methods and

Global Online Communities
The Case of London

John Kerr, University of Roehampton, UK
A Case Study
Richly illustrated with ethnographic research, together
with extensive survey and interview material drawn from
around the world, Research Methods and Global Online
Communities explores the changing nature of communities
that form around common interests and are embedded in a
digital architecture rather than place. In doing so, this book
transcends the digital dualism of online/offline models of
community and engages with debates on the social impacts
of the internet and the adaptive nature of community.
This book examines who is performing, managing, governing

and controlling the securitization and policing of art theft
in London. Through giving the first map of the policing and
securitization of one of the worlds largest centres of art, it
helps our understanding of art security at city, national and
international levels and offers practical recommendations for
those who operate within art security. Providing the first clear
single account of the London art security terrain, this book
also advances current knowledge of policing, environmental
criminology and insurance. Moreover, it adds to the previous
research into the traditionally restricted worlds of private
policing, public policing and the art world.

The death penalty is embodied in Indian law, yet there is very
little known about the people who are on death row except
for media reports on them. In order to explore the way the
prisoners on death row experience and perceive their lives
and make meaning of that world 111 prisoners on death row
in India were interviewed. Underpinned by phenomenology
and symbolic interactionism, the data analysis, first and
foremost leads to an understanding of the prisoners who
are on death row with reference to their demographic profile
and the impact of death sentence on the families of these
prisoners.

Sociological Amnesia focuses on singular contributions to

sociology that were once considered central to the discipline
but are today largely neglected. Chapters explore the work of
illustrious predecessors such Raymond Aron, Erich Fromm
and G.D.H. Cole as well as examining exceptional cases of
reputational revival as in the case of Norbert Elias or Gabriel
Tarde. Through understanding the obstacles of recognition
faced by female sociologists like Viola Klein and Olive
Schreiner, and public intellectuals like Cornelius Castoriadis,
the volume considers the reasons why certain kinds of
sociology are hailed as central to the discipline, whilst others
are forgotten.

Social Work and Integration

in Immigrant Communities
An Analysis of Sport and Religion
Framing the Field
Identifying the negative effects of the detection of hypocrisy

at individual and institutional levels, the author engages with
the work of Goffman to argue for the importance of trust in
institutions, underlining the necessity of minimizing and
correcting hypocritical acts by which this is undermined.
A detailed study of hypocrisy and the need for trust, this
volume will appeal to scholars and students of sociology
with interests in social and moral conduct, sport, religion,
Goffman and the notion of social life as artifice.
There has been a marked rise in global migration with many

former countries of emigration becoming destinations of
immigration. As such, social workers are increasingly called
upon to work in immigrant communities, while in the field
of research, theories, conceptual frames, perspectives and
discourse have materialized and evolved to make sense of
contemporary events. Valtonen familiarizes the reader with
the variation in national policies, institutional arrangements
and service responses, and provides salient information to
help with visioning in the profession, defining appropriate
and concerted responses, and building robust standing in
the field as well as promoting the linking of disciplinary and
multidisciplinary research with practice.

DIRECTIONS IN ETHNOMETHODOLOGY
AND CONVERSATION ANALYSIS
Adopting an approach informed by ethnomethodology and

conversation analysis, this book examines the process of
socialization as it takes place within everyday parent-child
interactions. Based on a large audio-visual corpus featuring
footage families filmed extensively in their homes, the author
focuses on the initiation of interactive assessment sequences
on the part of young children with their parents and the
manner in which, by means of embodied resources, such as
talk, gaze, and gesture, they acquire communicative skills
and a sense of themselves as effective social actors.

Towards a Sociology
of Cancer Caregiving
Once a synonym for death, cancer is now a prognosis of

multiple probabilities and produces a world of uncertainty
for carers. Drawing on rich, in-depth interview data and
employing interactionist theories, Towards a Sociology of
Cancer Caregiving explores carers lived experiences, offering
a fresh theorisation of the uncertainty that now characterises
cancer. As such, it will appeal to scholars of the sociologies
of emotion, time and identity, and all those interested in the
question of how to support informal carers.

Informed by a modified version of Goffmans original

This is not a conventional biography but an attempt to explore

the motives and intentions that underpin Talcott Parsons
published work. The book explores the reasoning Parsons
shares with his readers in the pages of his many published
works and the possible links between Parsons academic
outputs and the social, economic and political situations in
which Parsons found himself during the course of his life.

By studying urban activism in Central and Eastern Europe,

this volume argues that the recent resurgence of urban
grassroots mobilisation represents a new phase in the
development of post-socialist civil societies and that
these civil societies have significantly more vitality than
is commonly perceived. The case studies here reflect the
diversity and complexity of post-socialist urban movements,
capturing also the extent to which the laboratory of urban
politics is richly illustrative of the complex nexus of statesociety-market relations within post-socialism.

STUDIES IN DEATH, MATERIALITY AND THE ORIGIN OF TIME

Series Editors: Dorthe Refslund Christensen, Aarhus University, Denmark and Rane Willerslev, Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo, Norway
Eventually we all die and we experience death head-on, when someone close to us dies. This series, Studies in Death, Materiality and the Origin of Time, identifies this fact as constitutive of
the origin of human conceptions of time. Time permeates everything, but except for time itself all things are perishable yet, it is only through the perishable world of things and bodies that we
sense time. Bringing together scholarly work across a range of disciplines, the series explores the fact that human experiences and conceptions of time inherently hinge on the material world,
and that time as a socially experienced phenomenon cannot be understood as separate from material form or expression. As such, it departs from a persistent current within Western thinking.
Philosophy, biology and physics, among other disciplines, have studied time as an essential, ethereal and abstract concept. In the same way, death has often been conceived of in abstract and
sometimes transcendental terms as occupying one extreme margin of human life. As an alternative, this series examines the ways in which bodily death and material decay are central points of
reference in social life, which offer key insights into human perceptions of time.

Suicide and Agency offers an original and timely challenge
to existing ways of understanding suicide. Through the use
of rich and detailed case studies, the authors assembled
in this volume explore how interplay of self-harm, suicide,
personhood and agency varies markedly across site
(Greenland, Siberia, India, Palestine and Mexico) and setting
(self-run leprosy colony, suicide bomb attack, cash-crop
farming, middle-class mothering).

GENDER, BODIES AND TRANSFORMATION

Series Editor: Meredith Jones, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
This series explores the intersection of two key themes in relation to scholarship on bodies: gender and transformation. Bodies are gendered via biology, culture, medicine and society, such
that gender, so deeply and intimately connected to identity, is a crucial part of any thorough analysis of the body. At the same time, bodies are and have always been sites of transformation,
whether through natural processes such as pregnancy, illness and ageing, or the more eye-catching, unnatural transformations of cosmetic surgery, violence, extreme bodybuilding or dieting,
cross-species transplantation, elective amputation or tattooing.
Interdisciplinary in scope and welcoming work from a range of approaches, including cultural and media studies, sociology, gender studies, feminist theory, phenomenology, queer studies and
ethnography, Gender, Bodies and Transformation publishes scholarly examinations of contemporary cultural changes that are relevant to both gender and the transformation of bodies, whether
in single bodies or between bodies.
Fat Sex: New Directions in

Theory and Activism
Transgender Architectonics
The Weight of Images
The Shape of Change in Modernist Space
Affect, Body Image and Fat in the Media
Edited by Helen Hester, Middlesex University, UK

and Caroline Walters
Lucas Crawford, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Katariina Kyrl, University of Turku, Finland
With case studies spanning the US and UK, Transgender

Architectonics examines the ways in which modernist
architecture can contribute to our understanding of how
it is that humans are able to transform, shedding light on
the manner in which architecture, space, and the spatial
metaphors of gender can play significant if often unrealized
potential roles in body and gender transformation. By
remedying both the absence of actual architecture in queer
theorys discussions of space and also architectural theorys
marginal treatment of transgender, this volume constitutes a
serious intervention in the field of queer space.
The Weight of Images explores the ways in which media

images can train their viewers bodies. Proposing a shift
away from an understanding of spectatorship as being
constituted by acts of the mind, this book favours a
theorization of relations between bodies and images as
visceral, affective engagements that shape our body image
with close attention to one particularly charged bodily
characteristic in contemporary western culture: fat.
Acknowledging and engaging with some of the innovative

work being done by artists, activists, and academics
around the issue of fat sex, this collection both challenges
preconceptions regarding fatness and sexuality, but
also critiques and debates various aspects of the fat
activist approach. It draws on a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives, bringing together work from the UK, US,
Europe and Australia to offer a wide-ranging examination
of the issues of size, sex, and sexuality.

Adele Pavlidis, Griffith University, Australia and Simone
Fullagar, University of Bath, UK
As a new breed of lifestyle sport enthusiasts derby grrrls
are pushing the boundaries of gender as they negotiate
the nexus of pleasure, pain and power relations. Offering a
socio-cultural analysis of the rise and reinvention of roller
derby as both a new, globalized womens sport and an
everyday creative leisure space, this book explores the manner
in which roller derby has emerged as a gendered space for
self-transformation, belonging and embodied contest, in which
women are invited to experience their emotions differently,
embrace pain and overcome limits.
