Disconnecting over New Media
Ilana Gershon

“If you are ending a relationship, what does it matter if the end-
ing is announced on cream stationery, by text message, or in a
face-to-face conversation? Breaking up is breaking up. Yet for
everyone I have spoken to about this, it matters: When some-
one says ‘she broke up with me by texting,’ not much more
needs to be said.

Because breakups are often so emotionally charged and con-


fusing, these are the moments in which people also begin
talking with each other and evaluating how to use a particular
medium. By talking, and often criticizing, the ways the breakup
was accomplished, people also were laying the groundwork for
shared understandings of how to use different media.”
—from The Breakup 2.0

A few generations ago, college students showed their romantic


commitments by exchanging special objects: rings, pins, varsity “The Breakup 2.0 is a fascinating and

but well-thought-out and informed considerations of the topic
are rare. —Stefan Helmreich, MIT

Ilana Gershon was intrigued by the degree to which her stu-


dents used new media to communicate important romantic
information—such as “it’s over.” She decided to get to the bot-
tom of the matter by interviewing seventy-two people about
how they use Skype, texting, voice mail, instant messaging,
Facebook, and cream stationery to end relationships. She
opens up the world of romance as it is conducted in a digital
milieu, offering insights into the ways in which different media
influence behavior, beliefs, and social mores. Above all, this full-
fledged ethnography of Facebook and other new tools is about
technology and communication, but it also tells the reader a
great deal about what college students expect from each other
when breaking up—and from their friends who are the specta-
tors or witnesses to the ebb and flow of their relationships. The
Breakup 2.0 is accessible and riveting.

An Environmental History of the Empire State


David Stradling
From the arrival of Henry Hudson’s Half Moon in the estuarial
waters of what would come to be called New York Harbor to
the 2006 agreement that laid out plans for General Electric to
clean up the PCBs it pumped into the river named after Hudson,
this work offers a sweeping environmental history of New York
State. David Stradling shows how New York’s varied landscape
and abundant natural resources have played a fundamental
role in shaping the state’s culture and economy. Simultane-
ously, he underscores the extent to which New Yorkers have,
through such projects as the excavation of the Erie Canal and
the construction of highways and reservoir systems, changed
the landscape of their state.

Surveying all of New York State since first contact between


Europeans and the region’s indigenous inhabitants, Stradling
finds within its borders an amazing array of environmental fea-

City’s Great Experiment in Integrated Housing
Peter Eisenstadt
From 1963 to 1965 roughly 6,000 families moved into Rochdale
Village, at the time the world’s largest housing cooperative, in
southeastern Queens County. The moderate-income coopera-
tive attracted families from a diverse background, white and
black, to what was a predominantly black neighborhood. In its
early years, Rochdale was widely hailed as one of the few suc-
cessful large-scale efforts to create an integrated community
in New York City or, for that matter, anywhere in the United
States.

Rochdale was built by the United Housing Foundation. Its pres-


ident, Abraham Kazan, had been the major builder of low-cost
cooperative housing in New York City for decades. His partner
in many of these ventures was Robert Moses. Their work to-
gether was a marriage of opposites: Kazan’s utopian-anarchist

century Jewish labor movement combined with Moses’s hard- “Rochdale Village encourages us all

Eleanor Roosevelt and the American Worker


Brigid O’Farrell

Although born to a life of privilege and married to the Presi-


dent of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt was a staunch and
lifelong advocate for workers and, for more than twenty-five
years, a proud member of the AFL-CIO’s Newspaper Guild. She
Was One of Us tells for the first time the story of her deep and
lasting ties to the American labor movement. Brigid O’Farrell
follows Roosevelt—one of the most admired and, in her time,
controversial women in the world—from the tenements of
New York City to the White House, from local union halls to the
convention floor of the AFL-CIO, from coal mines to political ral-
lies to the United Nations.

Roosevelt worked with activists around the world to develop a


shared vision of labor rights as human rights, which are central
to democracy. In her view, everyone had the right to a decent
job, fair working conditions, a living wage, and a voice at work.

A Life of Catherine Hogarth
Lillian Nayder

Catherine Hogarth, who came from a cultured Scots family,


married Charles Dickens in 1836, the same year he began serial-
izing his first novel. Together they traveled widely, entertained
frequently, and raised ten children. In 1858, the celebrated writ-
er pressured Catherine to leave their home, unjustly alleging
that she was mentally disordered—unfit and unloved as wife
and mother. Constructing a plotline nearly as powerful as his
stories of Scrooge and Little Nell, Dickens created the image
of his wife as a depressed and uninteresting figure, using two
of her three sisters against her, by measuring her presumed
weaknesses against their strengths. This self-serving fiction is
still widely accepted.

In the first comprehensive biography of Catherine Dickens,


Lillian Nayder debunks this tale in retelling it, wresting away
from the famous novelist the power to shape his wife’s story.
Nayder demonstrates that the Dickenses’ marriage was long a “Lillian Nayder’s eagerly awaited bi-

Clinical Commentary by Brian David Hodges, MD
Foreword by Bonnie Blair O’Connor

At age twenty-one, Chloë Atkins began suffering from a mys-

that she was willing her own death.

The isthmus of Panama, where North and South America meet,


hosts more bird species than all of North America. More ac-
cessible than ever to birdwatchers and other ecotourists, the
country has become a premier neotropical birding and nature
tourism destination in recent years. The Birds of Panama will be
an essential tool for the new generation of birders traveling in
search of Panama’s spectacular avifauna.

This user-friendly, portable, and affordable identification guide


features:
• large color illustrations of more than 900 species.
• the first range maps published to show the distribution of
Panama’s birds.
• concise text that describes field marks for identification, as
well as habitat, behavior, and vocalizations.
• range maps and species accounts face illustration pages for

Panama’s unique geography, small size, and varied habitats


make it possible to see a vast diversity of birds within a short
time. Its western and central areas harbor representatives
of species found in Central America; species characteristic of
South America may be found in the east. In the winter, birds
from northern climes are commonly found in Panama as mi-
grants. This is the one field guide the novice or experienced
birder needs to identify birds in the field in Panama’s diverse
habitats.

The Just City

Susan S. Fainstein

For much of the twentieth century improvement in the situa-


tion of disadvantaged communities was a focus for urban plan-
ning and policy. Yet over the past three decades the ideological
triumph of neoliberalism has caused the allocation of spatial,
political, economic, and financial resources to favor economic
growth at the expense of wider social benefits. Susan Fainstein’s
concept of the “just city” encourages planners and policymak-
ers to embrace a different approach to urban development. Her
objective is to combine progressive city planners’ earlier focus
on equity and material well-being with considerations of diver-
sity and participation so as to foster a better quality of urban
life within the context of a global capitalist political economy.
Fainstein applies theoretical concepts about justice developed
by contemporary philosophers to the concrete problems faced
by urban planners and policymakers and argues that, despite
structural obstacles, meaningful reform can be achieved at the
local level.

Political Culture in the Early People’s Republic


Chang-tai Hung

In this sweeping portrait of the political culture of the early


People’s Republic of China (PRC), Chang-tai Hung mines newly
available sources to vividly reconstruct how the Chinese Com-
munist Party (CCP) tightened its rule after taking power in 1949.
With political-cultural projects such as reconstructing Tianan-
men Square to celebrate the Communist Revolution; staging
national parades; rewriting official histories; mounting a visual
propaganda campaign, including oil paintings, cartoons, and
New Year prints; and establishing a national cemetery for he-
roes of the Revolution, the CCP built up nationalistic fervor in
the people and affirmed its legitimacy. These projects came un-
der strong Soviet influence, but the nationalistic Chinese Com-
munists sought an independent road of nation building; for ex-
ample, they decided that the reconstructed Tiananmen Square
should surpass Red Square in size and significance, against the
advice of Soviet experts sent from Moscow.

Imperial Japan at Its Zenith

The Wartime Celebration of the
Empire’s 2,600th Anniversary
Kenneth J. Ruoff

In 1940, Japan was into its third year of war with China and rela-
tions with the United States were deteriorating, but it was a
heady time for the Japanese nonetheless. That year, the Japa-
nese commemorated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding
of the Empire of Japan. According to the imperial myth-history,
Emperor Jimmu, descended from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu,
established the “unbroken imperial line” in 660 BCE. In careful-
ly choreographed ceremonies throughout the empire, through
new public monuments, with visual culture, and through heri-
tage tourism, the Japanese celebrated the extension of impe-
rial rule under the 124th emperor, Hirohito.

These celebrations, the climactic moment for the ideology that


was central to modern Japan’s identity until the imperial cult’s
legitimacy was bruised by defeat in 1945, are little known out-
side Japan. Imperial Japan at Its Zenith, the first book in English “Kenneth J. Ruoff has identified a

The Brothertown and Stockbridge Indians and


the Problem of Race in Early America
David J. Silverman

New England Indians created the multitribal Brothertown and


Stockbridge communities during the eighteenth century with
the intent of using Christianity and reforms to cope with white
expansion. In Red Brethren, David J. Silverman considers the
stories of these communities, led first by Samson Occom, and
argues that Indians in early America were racial thinkers in their
own right and that indigenous people rallied together as Indi-
ans not only in the context of violent resistance but also in cam-
paigns to adjust peacefully to white dominion. All too often,
the Indians discovered that their many concessions to white
demands earned them no relief.

In the era of the American Revolution, the pressure of white


settlements forced the Brothertowns and Stockbridges from
New England to Oneida country in upstate New York. During

Homeland, Identity, and Religion in Israel,
1925–2005
Nadav G. Shelef
“Evolving Nationalism is a terrific, even amazing book. It is well
ahead of the disciplinary curve. Shelef joins granular case
knowledge to well-conceived, theoretically rigorous social
science. But what makes the book unique is his sophisticated
and effective deployment of evolutionary theory to solve the
problem of explaining how seemingly deeply held ideological
beliefs change over time without being guided by elites or by
direct adaptation to changing incentives. His story about the
ideological trajectory of the Zionist right is fascinating, but his
analysis reaches far beyond the story and will have an impact
on the discipline as a whole.”—Ian S. Lustick, University of
Pennsylvania, author of Unsettled States, Disputed Lands

Evolving Nationalism examines how the idea of Israel as a nation-


state has developed within Zionist and Israeli discourse over
the past eight decades. Nadav G. Shelef focuses on the chang-

radical and religious fundamentalist ones, can and do change
cardinal components of their ideological beliefs in both mod-
erating and radicalizing directions. These changes have more
to do with the unguided consequences of engagement in day-
to-day politics than with strategic reaction to new realities, the
use of force, or the changing incentives of leaders. Engaging
with some of the most contentious debates about the nature
of Israeli nationalism and the geographic, religious, and ethnic
definition of the state of Israel, Shelef has made signal contri-
butions to our understanding of Middle East politics and of the
ideological underpinnings of nationalism itself.

Adoption, Attachment Therapy, and the

Rachael Stryker
“The Road to Evergreen is an expertly written, ethnographically
rich treatment of reactive attachment disorder (RAD). Rachael
Stryker repositions RAD as more than a medical behavioral di-
agnosis; she argues that it is in fact a symptom of overwrought
desires of private, nuclear kinship that revolve around children
as emotional assets.”—Sara Dorow, University of Alberta

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a psychiatric condition


affecting children that is characterized by inappropriate and
sometimes disturbing ways of relating socially to others, in-
cluding parents. Relatively rare, RAD is thought to arise from a
failure to form close attachments to primary caregivers in early
childhood due to abrupt or prolonged separation, neglect, or
abuse. In the United States, the incidence of RAD increased

How Diversity Works on Campus
Susan E. Chase
Over the past three decades, colleges and universities have
committed to encouraging, embracing, and supporting diver-
sity as a core principle of their mission. But how are goals for
achieving and maintaining diversity actually met? What is the
role of students in this mission? When a university is committed
to diversity, what is campus culture like? In Learning to Speak,

ates at a predominantly white urban institution, which she calls
“City University” (a pseudonym), learn to speak and listen to
each other across social differences.

Freelancing Expertise

Contract Professionals in the New Economy
Debra Osnowitz
“Freelancing Expertise is a detailed and nuanced description of
important dimensions of contracting work today. Debra Os-
nowitz asks how contractors manage the risks that are entailed
when they lack a steady employment contract. While analyzing
the experiences of professional contractors in the fields of high
technology and publishing, Osnowitz provides comparisons to
people in similar occupations who are regular employees and
people in similar temporary employment relations but in differ-
ent occupations. Osnowitz’s understanding of how an external
labor market works is very original and cutting edge.”
—Vicki Smith, University of California, Davis,
coauthor of The Good Temp

Contract work is more important than ever—for better or for


worse, depending on one’s perspective. The security once im-
plied by a full-time job with a stable employer is becoming rarer,
thereby erasing one of the major distinctions between “free-
lance work” and a “steady gig.” Why hang on to a regular job
for the sake of security if security can no longer be assumed?
Instead, contractors, hired temporarily for specific knowledge
and skills, market their expertise as they move from project to
project. Even though their employment is precarious, a great
many consider freelancing preferable to holding a regular job:
the control they feel over their time and careers is well worth
the risks that come with relatively uncertain cash flow.

Freelancing Expertise is a qualitative study of decision making,


work practices, and occupational processes among writers
and editors who work in print and Web communications and
programmers and engineers who work in software and sys-
tems development. Debra Osnowitz conducted sixty-eight
extended interviews with representatives of both groups and
twelve interviews with managers and recruiters, observed four
different work settings in which contractors work alongside
employees, and monitored blogs and online discussions among
contractors. As a result, she provides a unique and sensitive as-
sessment of a cultural shift in occupations and organizations.
Osnowitz calls for a reconfiguration of the employer/employee
relationship that accepts more variation and flexibility: just as
freelancing has, over time, taken on many traits considered
characteristic of traditional career paths, so might regular jobs
make themselves more appealing to today’s workforce by mim-
icking some of the positive aspects of transactions between cli-
ents and contract workers.

The Fate of the Victim after the Holocaust


Carolyn J. Dean

In Aversion and Erasure, Carolyn J. Dean offers a bold account of


how the Holocaust’s status as humanity’s most terrible exam-
ple of evil has shaped contemporary discourses about victims
in the West. Popular and scholarly attention to the Holocaust
has led some observers to conclude that a “surfeit of Jewish
memory” is obscuring the suffering of other peoples. Dean
explores the pervasive idea that suffering and trauma in the
United States and Western Europe have become central to
identity, with victims competing for recognition by displaying
their collective wounds. She argues that this notion has never
been examined systematically even though it now possesses
the force of self-evidence. It developed in nascent form after
World War II, when the near-annihilation of European Jewry
began to transform patriotic mourning into a slogan of “Never
Again”: as the Holocaust demonstrated, all people might be-
come victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, or sexual-
ity—because of who they are.
“Aversion and Erasure features offers

The Impossible Border

Germany and the East, 1914–1922
Annemarie H. Sammartino

Between 1914 and 1922, millions of Europeans left their homes


as a result of war, postwar settlements, and revolution. After
1918, the immense movement of people across Germany’s east-
ern border posed a sharp challenge to the new Weimar Repub-
lic. Ethnic Germans flooded over the border from the new Pol-
ish state, Russian émigrés poured into the German capital, and
East European Jews sought protection in Germany from the up-
heaval in their homelands. Nor was the movement in one direc-
tion only: German Freikorps sought to found a soldiers’ colony
in Latvia, and a group of German socialists planned to settle in
a Soviet factory town.

In The Impossible Border Annemarie H. Sammartino explores


these waves of migration and their consequences for Germany.
Migration became a flashpoint for such controversies as the
relative importance of ethnic and cultural belonging, the inter-
action of nationalism and political ideologies, and whether or
not Germany could serve as a place of refuge for those seeking “In The Impossible Border, Annema-

A Plato Primer

J. D. G. Evans

“There is a philosophical classiness and freshness about this


book that should give it an immediate place on reading lists.”
—C. J. Rowe, University of Durham

“Plato was more than a philosopher; he was a master of literary


composition who frequently wrote in a colorful style. At the
heart of his work there is material as definitively philosophical
as anything in the most technical works in the twenty-four cen-
turies that have followed his pioneering labors.”
—from the Introduction

A Plato Primer introduces students and general readers to the


main theses, concepts, and arguments in Plato’s philosophy.
Plato’s thought—subtle, versatile, and multifaceted—extends
over many decades of composition and many philosophical
topics, making it difficult to distill. J. D. G. Evans overcomes this
challenge by starting from the premise that there is a core to
Plato’s philosophy that can be traced through the spectrum of
his writings. He opens with a chapter on the Republic, Plato’s
major work; he then singles out a particular theme from the
Republic for treatment in each of the six subsequent chapters.
These themes, which correspond to modern philosophical
categories (Knowledge, Reality, Dialectic, Value, Causality and
Change, Politics), enable Evans to bring other Platonic works
into his discussion.

Featuring a useful “Further Reading” section for those wish-


ing to pursue given topics in the secondary literature, A Plato
Primer is a wide-ranging and compelling analysis of the original
philosophical personality shining through the body of Plato’s
writings.

J. D. G. Evans was Professor of Logic Also of Interest

Political Aesthetics

Crispin Sartwell

“Crispin Sartwell’s ‘poetics of politics’ is a fascinating and re-


freshingly original study of the interplay of aesthetic values and
political values. His balance of theory and application results
in a book that deserves a wide audience.”—Theodore Gracyk,
author of Listening to Popular Music

“I suggest that although at any given place and moment the


aesthetic expressions of a political system just are that politi-
cal system, the concepts are separable. Typically, aesthetic as-
pects of political systems shift in their meaning over time, or
even are inverted or redeployed with an entirely transformed
effect. You cannot understand politics without understanding
the aesthetics of politics, but you cannot understand aesthet-
ics as politics. The point is precisely to show the concrete nodes
at which two distinct discourses coincide or connive, come
apart or coalesce.”—from Political Aesthetics

The Crusader, the Movie, and the


Soul of the Port of New York
James T. Fisher

“It may be hard for some to imagine an era when the water-
fronts clustered around New York City constituted America’s
dominant commercial port. Yet as late as the 1950s the region’s
900 piers—spread over Manhattan’s West Side, South Brooklyn,
and Hoboken and Jersey City, N.J.—handled more cargo than
any port in the world. This is the setting for James T. Fisher’s On
the Irish Waterfront, a fascinating work of history that explores
the rise of New York’s commercial port from the early 1900s to
the 1950s and the corruption that eventually infiltrated all lev-
els of the cargo business, until a crusading priest helped to put
a stop to it—and inspired a classic film along the way.”

other readers who wish to navigate the philosopher’s more University of Virginia
than thirty books, the lucid and precise Habermas: Introduction
and Analysis is a welcome starting point rich in insights.

Ingram’s book addresses the entire range of Habermas’s social


theory, including his most recent and widely discussed contri-
butions to religion, freedom and determinism, global democ-
racy, and the consolidation of the European Union. Recogniz-
ing Habermas’s position as a highly public intellectual, Ingram
discusses how Habermas applies his own theory to pressing
problems such as abortion, terrorism, genetic engineering, im-
migration, multiculturalism, separation of religion and state,
technology and mass media, feminism, and human rights. He
also presents a detailed critical analysis of Habermas’s key
claims and arguments. Separate appendixes introduce and
clarify such important concepts as causal, teleological, and nar-
rative paradigms of explanation in action theory; contextual-
ism versus rationalism in social scientific methods of interpre-
tation; systems theory and functionalist explanation in social
science; and decision and collective choice theory.

Time and Photography


more information

Edited by Jan Baetens, Alexander Streitberger,


and Hilde Van Gelder

Photography is fundamentally a time-based medium. The rela-


tionships between photography and time are manifold: snap-
shots are “slices of time,” time can be directly represented
within the image, time can be photography’s theme and philo-
sophical horizon, photographic practices develop and change
across time. This book brings together the various aspect of
time in photography and of photography in time. Its chapters
focus on seminal authors (including Fox Talbot, Victor Burgin,
and Robert Morris) and genres (spirit photography, mon-
tage photobooks, and tableau photography), with examples
ranging from the very first photographic pictures to the most
recent uses of photography in and outside art.

Given the multifaceted dimensions of the notion of time, the


book fosters an interdisciplinary approach, gathering essays by
historians of photography as well as by authors with a critical
or philosophical background. It shows how some interpreta-
tions of photography are indebted to fields that have a great
expertise in analyzing time, such as narratology and literature.
Written by international specialists for a nonspecialist audience
and displaying extraordinary breadth and erudition, this book
reshapes our vision of photography, time, culture, and art.

Philosophical Essays on
Deleuze’s Debate with Psychoanalysis
Edited by Leen De Bolle

Gilles Deleuze is among the twentieth century’s most impor-


tant philosophers of difference. Reading and appreciating his
work requires an unusual degree of openness and willingness
to enter a complicated but extremely rich system of thought.
His oeuvre is marked by abundant debates with and references
to a variety of authors of many different domains, the sophis-
ticated conceptual framework, the creation of new concepts,
and the injection of existing concepts with new meanings.

Deleuze and Psychoanalysis is both a guide to reading Deleuze


and a direct confrontation with issues at stake in his work,
particularly the debate with and against psychoanalysis. This
debate not only offers the occasion to find an entrance to
Deleuze’s basic thought but also throws the reader into the
middle of the dispute. Offering different points of view, the au-
thors of this book provide a clear and perspicuous overview of
subject matter of interest to all psychoanalysts, Deleuzean or
otherwise.

The Cold War and Cultural Expression in
Southeast Asia
Edited by Tony Day and Maya H. T. Liem
“These innovative essays compel us to reevaluate our under-
standing of the Cold War as a predominantly political and
military event. Their consideration of a broad range of cultural
forms—from literature and film to glossy magazines and body-
building—remind us that the Cold War’s influence on culture
and its producers was as varied and complex as the Southeast
Asian countries it touched. Lively and insightful, this rich collec-
tion is a valuable contribution to both Cold War studies and the
modern histories of Southeast Asia.”
—Richard A. Ruth, United States Naval Academy, author of
In Buddha’s Company: Thai Soldiers in the Vietnam War

The Cold War in Southeast Asia was a many-faceted conflict,


driven by regional historical imperatives as much as by the con-
test between global superpowers. The essays in this book offer
the most detailed and probing examination to date of the cul-
tural dimension of the Cold War in Southeast Asia. Southeast
Asian culture from the late 1940s to the late 1970s was primarily
shaped by a long-standing search for national identity and in-
dependence, which took place in the context of intense rival-
ry between the United States and the Soviet Union, with the
Peoples’ Republic of China emerging in 1949 as another major
international competitor for influence in Southeast Asia.

Based on fieldwork in Burma, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the


Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, the essays in
this collection analyze the ways in which art, literature, film,
theater, spectacle, physical culture, and the popular press rep-
resented Southeast Asian responses to the Cold War and com-
memorated that era’s violent conflicts long after tensions had
subsided. Southeast Asian cultural reactions to the Cold War
involved various solutions to the dilemmas of the newly inde-
pendent nation-states of the region. What is common to all of
the perspectives and works examined in this book is that they
expressed social and aesthetic concerns that both antedated Tony Day is Visiting Professor of His-
