FILM DIRECTORS
The Cinema of Norman Mailer Film is Like Death
Edited by Justin Bozung, Freelance Writer, Georgia, USA
The Ironic Filmmaking of Stephen Frears
Lesley Brill, Wayne State University, USA
"Bozung’s collection represents a major advance in our understanding of Mailer’s films—their origins, creation, reception, relationship to his literary work, and enduring influence. His assiduous archival work, communication with almost everyone alive involved with Mailer’s filmmaking, the collection of previously published essays (including Mailer’s), and the commissioning of new ones, plus an extraordinary collection of photographs, makes The Cinema of Norman Mailer the definitive volume on Mailer’s film career." J. Michael Lennon, author of Norman Mailer: A Double Life (2013) and Emeritus Professor of English, Wilkes University, USA
"Can a case be made for the 'consistently inconsistent' Stephen Frears, who’s staunchly maintained, 'I’m just the bloke who gets hired,' as a cinematic auteur? Armed with a formidable appreciation of Frears’s direction of performers, an exquisite sensitivity to his visual design, and a deep sympathy with his representations of love in its many varieties, Lesley Brill presents compelling evidence why audiences who have enjoyed films as different as My Beautiful Laundrette, Dangerous Liaisons, The Queen, and Philomena can profit from closer attention to the endlessly resourceful ironist behind them all." Thomas Leitch, Professor, Department of English, University of Delaware, USA

Lars von Trier's Women
Edited by Rex Butler, University of Queensland, Australia & David Denny, Marylhurst University, USA The Danish director Lars von Trier is undoubtedly one of the world's most important and controversial filmmakers, and arguably so because of the depiction of women in his films. He has been criticized for subjecting his female characters to unacceptable levels of violence or reducing them to masochistic self-abnegation, as with Bess in Breaking the Waves, ‘She’ in Antichrist and Joe in Nymphomaniac. At other times, it is the women in his films who are dominant or break out in violence, as in his adaptation of Euripides' Medea, the conclusion of Dogville and perhaps throughout Nymphomaniac. Lars von Trier's Women confronts these dichotomies head on. UK May 2018 • US May 2018 • 224 pages PB 9781501342097 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781501322457 Individual eBook 9781501322471 Library eBook 9781501322464 Bloomsbury Academic
Hitchcock's Appetites
The Corpulent Plots of Desire and Dread Casey McKittrick, Western Michigan University, USA In Hitchcock’s Appetites, Casey McKittrick offers the first book studying the relationship between Hitchcock’s body size and his cinema. Whereas most critics and biographers of the great director are content to consign his large figure and larger appetite to colorful anecdotes of his private life, McKittrick argues that our understanding of Hitchcock’s films, his creative process, and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering his lived experience as a fat man. Hitchcock’s Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism. UK January 2018 • US January 2018 • 208 pages PB 9781501339561 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781501311659 Individual eBook 9781501311635 Library eBook 9781501311628 Bloomsbury Academic
Authoring Hal Ashby
The Myth of the New Hollywood Auteur Aaron Hunter, Maynooth University, Ireland "A very useful and lucid contribution to understanding of the films of Hal Ashby and the New Hollywood context in which they are situated. Makes a strong and valuable case for the benefits of an approach that acknowledges multiple contributions to authorship, both in this case and as a way of revisiting the films of the period more generally." Geoff King, Professor of Film and TV Studies, Brunel University London, UK Using Hal Ashby as a larger framework on multiple-authorship, Authoring Hal Ashby lays out a creative new approach to understanding one of Hollywood's most exciting eras and most vital filmmakers.

Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed
Warren Buckland, Oxford Brookes University, UK
Edited by Luca Peretti, Yale University, USA & Karen T. Raizen, Yale University, USA
A Semiotic Analysis
An academic investigation of what makes the films of Wes Anderson distinctive. Taking the polemical strategy of outlining and employing Claude LeviStrauss’ distinguished (and notorious) work on myth and kinship to analyze each of Wes Anderson’s films, Warren Buckland analyzes Anderson entire oeuvre. With the help of Levi-Strauss, Buckland unearths the peculiar symbolic structure of each film, plus the circuits of exchange, tangible and intangible gift-giving, and unusual kinship systems that govern the lives of Wes Anderson’s characters.

The Films of Lenny Abrahamson A Filmmaking of Philosophy
Barry Monahan, University College Cork, Ireland The first comprehensive study of the films of the contemporary and highly critically-appraised Irish director Lenny Abrahamson. As well as considering the aesthetics, cultural reflections and philosophical concerns embedded within the cinema of this dynamic and profoundly original Irish filmmaker, it looks at his original short film – 3 Joes – and his four-part television series Prosperity. Barry Monahan sheds light on the aesthetic wealth of the artist and connects his visual stylistic innovations to the context of his projects’ sociocultural background, to his own influences in modern cinema and to a broader reflection on his philosophy of cinema, art, and human existence in the 21st century.

The Hollywood Renaissance Revisiting American Cinema's Most Celebrated Era
Edited by Yannis Tzioumakis, University of Liverpool, UK & Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK The Hollywood Renaissance investigates the changes in the American film industry and American culture of the mid-1960s which made the Hollywood Renaissance possible. Concluding with a look at the legacy of the Hollywood Renaissance on contemporary American cinema, the volume explores both its aftermath in the late 1970s and the emergence of the 'New New Hollywood' with its emphasis on the production of blockbuster by an increasingly conglomerated Hollywood majors and its impact on American independent/indie cinema.

A Thinker for the Twenty-First Century
This cross-disciplinary volume explores and expands our understanding of Pasolini today, probing notions of otherness in his works, his media image, and his legacy. 40 years after his death Pier Paolo Pasolini continues to challenge and interest us, both in academic circles and in popular discourses. Today his films stand as lampposts of Italian cinematic production, his cinematic theories resonate broadly through academic circles, and his philosophical, essayistic, and journalistic writings—albeit relatively sparsely translated into other languages—are still widely influential.

History and Film
A Tale of Two Disciplines Eleftheria Thanouli, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece With case studies ranging from The Thin Red Line and Life is Beautiful, to United 93 and The Last Bolshevik, History and Film addresses the representation of history in the cinema, a muchargued debate on the need to understand cinematic history in its own terms and develop a certain vocabulary for discussing historical films, their relation to public history and their impact on public historical consciousness. Elefteria Thanouli does this by changing the agenda altogether - combining a macro-level perspective with a micro-level one in order to argue that cinematic history is the dominant form of historiography in the 20th century, as it succeeded in remediating and repurposing the key formal, rhetorical and ideological practices of 19th-century professional historiography.

The "Disguised" Political Film in Contemporary Hollywood A Genre's Construction
Betty Kaklamanidou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece The political film is not a clearly delineated object, but rather an elusive one and resistant to clear boundaries. Betty Kaklamanidou unpacks the problematic terms and ideas that go along with defining a new genre. She considers a different sub-genre per chapter, placing each group of films in their socio-historical context to reach conclusions about the production of political films in millennial Hollywood. In shifting the terms of the debate, this study provides a fresh, new approach to the subject of the political film.

What's Eating You?
Let's Go Stag
Edited by Cynthia J. Miller, Emerson College, USA & A. Bowdoin Van Riper, Independent Scholar, USA
Dan Erdman, Media Burn Archive, Chicago, USA
Food and Horror on Screen
Monstrous “others” dine on forbidden fare; the tables of consumption are turned, and the consumer becomes the consumed. Overindulgence, as Le Grande Bouffe (1973) and Street Trash (1987) warn, can kill us, and occasionally, as films like The Stuff (1985) and Poultrygeist (2006) illustrate, our food fights back. From Blood Feast (1963) to Sweeney Todd (2007), motion pictures have reminded us that it is an “eat or be eaten” world. Divided into four thematic sections, What's Eating You? explores the deeper significance of such stories—the ways in which they reflect (or challenge) our deepest fears about consuming and being consumed.

A History of Pornography on Film from Edison to Stonewall Let's Go Stag reveals the secrets of the underground world of hardcore pornographic "stag films". Using the archives of civic groups, law enforcement, bygone government studies and similarly neglected evidence, archivist Dan Erdman reconstructs the means by which stag films were produced, distributed and exhibited, as well as demonstrates the way in which these practices changed with the times, eventually paving the way for the pornographic explosion of the 1970s and beyond.

The Environmental Documentary Cinema Activism in the 21st Century
Hollywood and the Invention of England Projecting the English Past in American Cinema, 1930-2017
Jonathan Stubbs, Cyprus International University, Cyprus Beginning with an overview of the social and cultural dimensions of the so-called 'special relationship' between Hollywood and Britain, each chapter features an extended case study examining a key production from each filmmaking cycle in greater detail. Written from an intercultural perspective and drawing on extensive archival research, Hollywood and the Invention of England examines the surprising affinity for British history in Hollywood cinema and asks what this can tell us about both British and American culture in general.

John A. Duvall, Dominican University of California, USA "The Environmental Documentary should be in every college and public library as a handy reference work. It provides helpful material about films we have seen and points us in directions for future viewing." Charles Musser, Cineaste The text examines the processes of production and distribution that have produced this explosion in environmental documentaries. The films range from a high-profile Hollywood production with theatrical distribution like An Inconvenient Truth, to shorter independently produced films like The End of Suburbia that have reached a small audience of activists through video distribution, interviews with many of the filmmakers, and word of mouth.

New Nonfiction Film Vocal Projections
Voices in Documentary Edited by Maria Pramaggiore, National University of Ireland at Maynooth & Annabelle Honess Roe, University of Surrey, UK This collection examines a previously neglected topic in the field of documentary studies: the political, aesthetic, and affective functions that voices assume. On topics ranging from the celebrity voice over to ventriloquism, from rockumentary screams to feminist vocal politics, these essays demonstrate myriad ways in which voices make documentary meaning beyond their expository, evidentiary, and authenticating functions.

In light of the challenges of globalization, multi-cultural communities and post-nation state democracy, the book interrogates the borders of ethics and politics and roots itself in debates about post-secular, post-Enlightenment philosophy.

Global Digital Film-making and the Multitude Non-Cinema: Global Digital Filmmaking and the Multitude provides an original film-philosophy through which to understand low budget digital filmmaking from around the globe. It draws upon a wide range of western and non-western philosophers, physicists, theorists of ‘Third Cinema’ and contemporary film theorists and filmphilosophers in order to argue that the future of cinema lies at the margins, in the extreme, the overlooked and the under-funded – the sort that distributors, exhibitors and audiences would not consider to be cinema at all, hence the title "non-cinema".

Making Sense of Mind-Game Films
Narrative Complexity, Embodiment and the Senses Simin Nina Littschwager, Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand Mind-game films have been a prominent phenomenon of the cinematic landscape from 1990-2010, when films like The Sixth Sense and Fight Club became critical and commercial successes. With their unreliable narrators and ambiguous twist endings, these films challenge traditional ways of narrative comprehension. But how can we understand films that don’t always make sense in the way we are used to? While most scholarship has treated these complex films as puzzles that audiences solve with their cognitive skills, Making Sense of Mind-Game Films offers a fresh perspective by suggesting that they appeal to the body and the senses in equal measures. Through compelling in-depth case studies of popular mind-game films, Simin Nina Littschwager explores how these complex narratives take their (embodied) spectators with them into such crises.

American Eccentric Cinema
Kim Wilkins, The University of Sydney, Australia
Globalization and the Posthuman Object Elizabeth Ezra, University of Stirling, UK "Compelling at every turn, The Cinema of Things shows how the character of posthuman condition in which we live owes much to the seventh art. From Méliès to Andrew Stanton, or Feuillade to Ridley Scott, cinema cheerfully turns human subjects into prosthetic devices, disposable commodities, or useless waste. In dazzling readings of classical and contemporary features, Ezra discerns the unspoken or disavowed dimensions of films that range from the Marx Brothers to Avatar. The book counts among the most powerful, courageously written, and urgently needed studies of cinema over the last decade." Tom Conley, Harvard University, USA
Since the late 1990s a new language has emerged in film scholarship and criticism in response to the popularity of American directors such as Wes Anderson, Charlie Kaufman, and David O. Russell. Increasingly, adjectives like ‘quirky’, ‘cute’, and ‘smart’ are used to describe these American films, with a focus on their ironic (and sometimes deliberately comical) stories, character situations and tones. Kim Wilkins argues that, beyond the seemingly superficial descriptions, American Eccentric Cinema presents a formal and thematic eccentricity that is distinct to the American context. She distinguishes these films from mainstream Hollywood cinema as they exhibit irregularities in characterization, tone, and setting, and deviate from established generic conventions.

WORLD CINEMA AND TELEVISION
Global South Asia on Screen
John Hutnyk, Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam "Hutnyk has written a book that keeps faith with the project of radical critique. Paying careful attention to relations between semiotic detail and socio-political context, he traverses a complex body of cultural production and cultural theory too often consigned to the margins. Global South Asia on Screen tests every term in its title, working through an array of films, TV series and other media with a forensic eye that disconcerts and excites. Hutnyk’s book challenges us to understand the reverb of colonial pasts and postcolonial critiques in networked, politically-narrowed presents."

Screening the Red Army Faction Historical and Cultural Memory
Childhood and Nation in Contemporary World Cinema Borders and Encounters
Edited by Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, The University of Lincoln, UK, Emma Wilson, Corpus Christi College, UK & Sarah Wright, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Childhood and Nation in Contemporary World Cinema recognizes that the range of films and scholarship is now sufficiently extensive to invoke the world cinema mantra of pluri-vocal and pluri-central attention and interpretation. This collection observes how and why and whether the cinematic child is indeed aligned to concepts of modern nationhood, to concerns of the State, and to geo-political organizational themes and precepts.

Popular Music and the Moving Image in Eastern Europe
Edited by Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire, UK & Zsolt Gyori, University of Debrecen, Hungary The first collection to discuss the ways in which popular music has been used cinematically, from musicals to music videos to documentary film, in Eastern Europe from 1945 to the present day. It argues that during the period of state socialism, moving image was an important tool of promoting music in the respective countries and creating popular cinema. Yet despite this importance, filmmakers who specialized in musicals lacked the social prestige of leading 'auteurs' and received little critical attention. The resulting scholarly prejudice towards pop culture created a severe shortage of critical studies of the genre, which this volume now addresses.

Dancing with the Nation
Christina Gerhardt, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, USA Explores representations of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in print media, film and art, locating an analysis of these texts in the historical and political context of unfolding events. In this way, the book contributes both a new history and a new cultural history of post-fascist era West Germany that grapples with the fledging republic's most pivotal debates about the nature of democracy and authority; about violence, its motivations and regulation; and about its cultural afterlife. Looking back at the history of representations of the RAF in various media, this book considers how our understanding of the Cold War era, of the long '60s and of the RAF is created and re-created through cultural texts.

Screening Bosnia
Geopolitics, Gender and Nationalism in Film and Television Images of the 1992-95 War Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK The Bosnian war of 1992-1995 was one of the most brutal conflicts to have erupted since the end of the Second World War. But although the war occurred in 'Europe's backyard' and received significant media coverage in the West, relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to cultural representations of the conflict. Stephen Harper analyses how the war has been depicted in global cinema and television over the past quarter of a century. Focusing on the representation of some of the war's major themes, including humanitarian intervention, the roles of NATO and the UN, genocide, rape and ethnic cleansing, Harper explores the role of popular media culture in reflecting, reinforcing and sometimes contesting - nationalist ideologies.

Production Design and the Boomer Era Alex Bevan, The University of Queensland, Australia
Explores the aesthetic politics of nostalgia for 1950s and '60s America on contemporary television. Specifically, it looks at how nostalgic TV production design shapes and is shaped by larger historical discourses on gender and technological change, and America’s perceived decline as a global power. Alex Bevan argues that the aesthetics of nostalgic TV tell stories of their own about historical decline and progress, and the place of the baby boomer television suburb in American national memory, using Mad Men, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and film remakes of 1950s and '60s family sitcoms as primary case studies.

The authors explore these questions through interviews with tv producers, curators and archivists, and case studies of popular television series and fan communities such as Cold Feet and Doctor Who. Their discussion takes in museum exhibitions, popular televison nostalgia programming and 'vintage' tv websites.

Alien
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Eric Ames, University of Washington, USA Eric Ames' study offers fresh perspectives on Werner Herzog's breakthrough film, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes), which portrays an expedition by Spanish conquistadors to find the legendary city El Dorado. The film is remembered boht for its breathtaking visual style and narrative power, and for Herzog's tense, behind-the-scenes relationship with star Klaus Kinski. Interweaving close analysis with archival research, Ames depicts the film as an experiment in visualising the past from the viewpoint of the present: not a history film in the narrow sense, but a film about the madness and hopelessness of Western striving. In an appendix, he provides a new translation of an infamous, secretly recorded on-set argument between Herzog and Kinski.

Roger Luckhurst, Birkbeck, University of London, UK Roger Luckhurst's study of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), a compelling fusion of science fiction and horror, traces the constellation of talents that came together to produce the film, its origins as a B-movie script, and its afterlife of sequels, prequels and elaborations. Suggesting that the film's famously visceral scenes act like a traumatic wound we seem compelled to revisit, and exploring the ways in which it compels us to think about otherness, Luckhurst discusses how and why this interstellar slasher movie came to coil itself around our darkest imaginings about the fragility of humanity.

Blade Runner
Scott Bukatman, Stanford University, USA Ridley Scott's dystopian classic Blade Runner, an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, combines noir with science fiction to create a groundbreaking cyberpunk vision of urban life in the 21st century. In his innovative and nuanced reading, Scott Bukatman details the making of Blade Runner and its steadily improving fortunes following its release in 1982. He situates the film in terms of debates about postmodernism, which have informed much of the criticism devoted to it, but argues that its tensions derive also from the quintessentially 21st century, modernist experience of the city – as a space both imprisoning and liberating.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
Providing close analysis informed by new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive, Peter Krämer's study foregrounds the connections the film establishes between the Cold War and World War II, and between sixties America and Nazi Germany. "Kramer was privileged to have been given access to Kubrick's private papers, and so is able to say for certain what was in the director's mind as well as chronicling the troubled history of its production with some authority. He also offers a comprehensive scene-by-scene analysis, including details of proposed alternatives which were never filmed or which didn't make the final cut, making this an essential book for the serious film student."

She discusses del Toro's ground-breaking use of mythology, how the film addresses ideas of memory and forgetting, and highlights the techniques, themes and cultural references that combine in Pan's Labyrinth to spawn an uncontainable plurality of meanings, which only multiply on contact with the viewer.

La Jetée
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Murray Pomerance, Ryerson University, Canada Murray Pomerance offers an illuminating account of one of Hitchcock's most intriguing and successful films, The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), starring James Stewart and Doris Day. Through a close reading of the film alongside analysis of its complex production history, Pomerance's analysis highlights its darkest nuances, and its themes of musicality, gendered power, and cultural strangeness. He proposes that, far from being a merely charming escapade, the film tells a strange story of doubling, spiritual presence, and the intricacies of social organisation.

Vertigo
Charles Barr, National University of Ireland in Galway, Ireland Vertigo (1958) is widely regarded as not only one of Hitchcock's best films, but one of the greatest films of world cinema. Although it can be seen as Hitchcock's most personal film, Charles Barr argues that, like Citizen Kane, Vertigo is at the same time a triumph not so much of individual authorship as of creative collaboration. He highlights the crucial role of screenwriters Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor and, by a combination of textual and contextual analysis, explores the reasons why Vertigo continues to inspire such fascination.

Courtney Brannon Donoghue, Oakland University, USA Courtney Brannon Donoghue investigates the history and present day practices by which Hollywood studios produce, market and distribute their products in local media markets around the world. Starting with a history of international distribution from 1900 to the 1970s, Donoghue goes on to explore how Hollywood's global markets have been impacted by globalization, digitisation and convergence. Drawing on interviews with industry personnel, with a particular focus on Europe and Latin America, she considers such elements as designing franchises to appeal to local audiences and trade policies in relation to film production.

Hollywood Soundscapes
Film Sound Style, Craft and Production in the Classical Era Helen Hanson, University of Exeter, UK Helen Hanson's original study restores sound and sound technicians to a central place in the creative history of Hollywood. Exploring a range of films from the early sound period (1931) through to the late studio period (1948), and drawing on a wide range of archival sources, Hanson reveals how and why Hollywood sound craft worked and demonstrates how sound technicians developed conventions designed to tell stories through sound, placing them within the production cultures of studio era filmmaking. “This book makes a major contribution both to the history of film sound and to the methods that we use to understand it.” Neil Verma, Assistant Professor, Radio/TV/Film, Northwestern University, USA UK July 2017 • US July 2017 • 184 pages PB 9781844575046 • £24.99 / $39.95 • HB 9781844575053 • £68.99 / $99.00 British Film Institute
Spaces of Women's Cinema
Space, Place and Genre in Contemporary Women’s Filmmaking Sue Thornham, University of Sussex, UK Sue Thornham examines a wide range of films by contemporary women filmmakers to explore issues of space, place, time and gender. Considering how space itself has been gendered, she asks how representation functions in relation to space and time, and how this, too, is gendered, and how such questions might be considered in relation to women’s filmmaking. Thornham addresses the work of filmmakers including Jane Campion, Kathryn Bigelow, Julie Dash, Maggie Greenwald, Patricia Rozema and Carol Morley, and films including An Angel at My Table (1990), Daughters of the Dust (1991) The Ballad of Little Jo (1993), Winter's Bone (2010), Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and The Falling (2014).

Paris in the Cinema Beyond the Flâneur
Edited by Alastair Phillips, University of Warwick, UK & Ginette Vincendeau, King's College London, UK “What could be better than a Michelin Guide that takes us not just to picturesque quartiers, but, thanks to the many films described, to earlier decades of everyone’s favourite city?” Dudley Andrew, Professor of Film and Comparative Literature, Yale University, USA Bringing together scholars from disciplines including film, history and architecture, the volume offers a new approach to understanding how Paris has been represented on screen. Contributors discuss both familiar sites and tropes of Parisian film - the lovers, the detective, the Eiffel Tower - and less familiar examples, such as the banlieues (suburbs), the building site and the concierge. Famous films such as Varda's Cleo de 5 a 7 are addressed, and the book includes an original interview with the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Madhuri Dixit
Nandana Bose, FLAME University, India Nandana Bose's study traces Dixit's twenty-five year career, exploring her star persona and her indelible impact on Indian popular culture. With her unusual career trajectory, Dixit has upended pre-existing models of female stardom, by marrying at the peak of her career, withdrawing from the limelight for years, and then returning to extend her career into her late forties by reinventing herself as a transmedia celebrity for a new generation. Bose examines Dixit's unique talent as a dancer and argues that she represents a traditional figure of femininity that resonated across class and cultural hierarchies at a time of great economic and social change in India.

Thomas addresses the incredible range of Mason’s film performances – in 1930s ‘quota quickies’; 1940s Gainsborough melodramas; the desperate IRA man in Carol Reed’s Odd Man Out (1947); from the 1950s onwards, Hollywood classics including Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959) and playing Humbert Humbert in Kubrick’s Lolita (1962). She also considers Mason's post1962 career, off-screen celebrity status, non-film work, comic and vocal performances, and his own self-commentary.

Fear and Loathing Worldwide Gonzo Journalism Beyond Hunter S. Thompson
Edited by Robert Alexander, Brock University, Canada & Christine Isager, University of Copenhagen, Denmark In Fear and Loathing Worldwide, scholars from 14 countries discuss writers from Europe, the Americas, and Australia whose work bears unmistakable traces of the mutant Gonzo gene. In each chapter, “Gonzo” emerges as a powerful but unstable signifier, read and practiced with different accents and emphases in the various national, cultural, political, and journalistic contexts in which it has erupted. Each, however, is driven by the same fearless disdain for convention and profound commitment to rattling received opinion with which the “outlaw journalist” Thompson scorched his way into the American consciousness in the 1960s, ’70s, and beyond.
Matter Transmission
Mediation in a Paleocyber Age Nicolás Salazar Sutil, University of Leeds, UK Despite a distinctly iconoclastic history, the Paleo Movement has become a popular and commercialized lifestyle choice in recent years. Inspired by the anti-industrialization philosophy of the movements, Nicolas Salazar Sutil develops a framework based on readings of Walter Voegtlin, often considered the founder of the Paleo Movement, and Gene Youngblood, who developed the idea of a “paleocybernetic age,” alongside Deleuze and Guattari’s utopian idea of a “paleolithic State.” In this context, Salazar Sutil offers a unique contribution to critical theory through the advancement of “brute materialism,” a novel theoretical perspective that probes the so-called new materialist turn to reveal the continued supremacy of an industrial sense of media communication.

The Illusion of the Free Press
John Charney, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile This book explores the relationship between truth and freedom in the free press. It argues that the relationship is problematic because the free press implies a competition between plural ideas, whereas truth is univocal. Based on this tension the book claims that the idea of a free press is premised on an epistemological illusion. This illusion enables society to maintain that the world it perceives through the press corresponds to the world as it actually exists. The book will be of great interest to anyone concerned in the role and value of the free press in the modern world.

Representations of Fandom in Media and Popular Culture Edited by Lucy Bennett, Cardiff University, UK & Paul Booth, DePaul University, USA Seeing Fans analyzes the representations of fans in the mass media through a diverse range of perspectives. Branching out from a preface by noted actor and fan Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow), this text bridges the worlds of academia and the media industry. Essays examine such varied material as fictional representations of fans in television; representations of fans in film, comics, music and sport fandoms; and finally, representations of fans in documentaries and news reports. Interviews throughout connect the scholarship presented with the worlds of film, television, and documentary directors.

Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age
Women’s Radio Programming at the BBC, CBC and ABC Justine Lloyd, Macquarie University, Australia Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age demonstrates how women as media producers and audiences in three countries with public service broadcasters (UK, Canada and Australia) have contributed to changes in our understandings of public and private. Women’s participation in media continues to be a key challenge to notions of the public sphere and the book concludes that profound changes initiated in the broadcast era are unfinished in the age of digital media. Justine Lloyd offers rich and valuable evidence of the dynamic relationship between media texts, producers and audiences that is relevant to contemporary debates about a growing gender ‘apartheid’ in a mediated culture.

Women, Emotions, and Contemporary Horror Rikke Schubart, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark Mastering Fear analyzes horror as play and examines what functions horror has and why it is adaptive and beneficial for audiences, including women. It takes a biocultural approach, and focusing on emotions, gender, and play - it argues that the audience engages not only with the negative emotions of fear and disgust - but with a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative, and the aim is for the audience to master these emotions. The book lays out a new theory of horror and analyzes female protagonists in contemporary horror from child to teen, adult, middle age, and old age.

Global Burnout
Pascal Chabot, Institute of Advanced Studies of Social Communications, Belgium "Burnout, stress, and depression have become worldwide epidemics. Calling burnout ‘civilization’s disease,’ Belgian philosopher Pascal Chabot has given us a fascinating and accessible history and theoretical framework of this modern crisis. He not only shows us how we got here, but also how we can use that knowledge to redefine success and truly thrive." Arianna Huffington, HuffPost Founder and Founder & CEO of Thrive Global Available for the first time in English and freshly adapted as the acclaimed documentary Burning Out, this book takes the phenomenon we call burnout as not just an individual problem that affects a few exhausted people, but rather 'a disease of civilization', connected to concepts of progress, technology, and desire.

Sonic Thinking
A Media Philosophical Approach Edited by Bernd Herzogenrath, University of Frankfurt, Germany Sonic Thinking extends the burgeoning field of media philosophy, which so far is defined by a strong focus on cinema, to the field of sound. The contributors urge readers to re-adjust their ideas of sound studies by attempting to think not only about sound [by external criteria, such as cultural meaning], but to think with and through sound. Series editor Bernd Herzogenrath's collection serves two interconnected purposes: in developing an alternative philosophy of music that takes music serious as a ‘form of thinking’; and in bringing this approach into a fertile symbiosis with the concepts and practices of ‘artistic research’: art, philosophy, and science as heterogeneous, yet coequal forms of thinking and researching.

Between Film, Video, and the Digital
Hybrid Moving Images in the Post-Media Age Jihoon Kim, Chung-ang University, South Korea
The essays in this volume ask what this changed technical, socioeconomic and political situation entails for the aesthetics and experience of contemporary cinematics, and call attention to different concepts, theories and tools at our disposal to analyze these changes.
Bridging a range of visual forms, Jihoon Kim provides the essential scholarly text for understanding how digital processes, seen through both old and new forms of time-based media, have created a new aesthetic regime of the moving image. Grounding its study in interdisciplinary framework of film studies, media studies, and contemporary art criticism, Between Film, Video, and the Digital offers a fresh insight on the post-media conditions of film and video under the pervasive influences of digital technologies, as well as on the crucial roles of media hybridity in the creative processes of giving birth to the emerging forms of the moving image.

Materializing Memories
Dispositifs, Generations, Amateurs Edited by Susan Aasman, University of Groningen, the Netherlands, Andreas Fickers, Luxembourg University, Luxembourg & Joseph Wachelder, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
This study reevaluates adaptation’s place in a popular culture marked by the movement of audiences across more media borders than ever before. While adaptation has historically been understood as the transfer of stories from one medium to another (e.g. novels to films), the increased range of media and the growing interconnectedness of media industries in the early 21st century have raised new questions about the forms and functions of adaptation. By looking both at the transmedia franchises in which adaptations have played a part and the fan activities surrounding those franchises, we may glean a clearer picture of adaptation in the first decade of the 2000s.
By taking the complex history of home movies as a starting point, Materializing Memories offers a sophisticated historical understanding of technologically mediated, mostly ritualized memory practices, from the early beginnings in the fin-de-siècle until today. In analyzing these practices with the help of three key concepts— dispositifs, generations and amateurs—this collection offers a coherent theoretical and methodological approach to the study of past and present technologies of memory.

Social Media and the Archaeology of Connection "Part an archaeology of connectivity, part critical analysis of contemporary culture, Inhuman Networks offers an inspiring take for media studies. Grant Bollmer’s rich, multi-layered book shows that social media does not just mediate but performs a subtle yet effective moral code: the networks prescribe senses of the self, community, value and direction. The so-called human exists only if it routes." Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art, UK author of Digital Contagions (2007) and Insect Media (2010) Inhuman Networks argues that the human nature revealed by social media imagines network technology and data as models for behavior online.

The Unpredictability of Gameplay
Mark R. Johnson, University of Alberta, Canada Explores the many forms of unpredictability in games and proposes the first ever theoretical framework for understanding and categorizing nondeterministic game mechanics. Rather than viewing all game mechanics with unpredictable outcomes as a single concept Mark R. Johnson develops a three-part typology for such mechanics, distinguishing between randomness, chance, luck in gameplay. He further explores situations in which incomplete information – uncertainty – resembles chance, but in fact remains distinct from the three forms of unpredictability.

33 1/3 “The series is probably the most remarkable regular event in rock journalism today.” New York Times 33 1/3 is a series of short books about popular music, focusing on individual albums by a wide range of artists from Celine Dion to Neutral Milk Hotel. With over 130 volumes available, it has recently expanded to cover music from soundtracks and video game scores.
dc Talk’s Jesus Freak
Will Stockton, Clemson University, USA & D. Gilson, Texas Tech University, USA Late in the Reagan years, three young men at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University formed the Christian rap group dc Talk. The trio put out a series of records that quickly secured their place at the forefront of contemporary Christian music. But with their fourth studio album Jesus Freak (1995), dc Talk staked a powerful claim on the worldly market of alternative music, becoming an evangelical group with secular selling power. This book studies this mid-90s crossover phenomenon – a moment of cultural convergence between Christian and secular music and an era of particular political importance for American evangelicalism.

Fugazi's In on the Kill Taker Joe Gross, Independent Scholar, USA
By June 1993, when Fugazi released their third full-length album, In on the Kill Taker, the quartet was reaching a thunderous peak in popularity and influence. Fugazi chose an unsure moment to make In on the Kill Taker: as Nirvana and Sonic Youth were yanking the American rock underground into the media glare, and “breaking” punk in every possible meaning of the word. Despite all of this, Kill Taker is an alt-rock classic in spite of itself, even as its defiant, muscular sound stood in stark contrast to everything represented by the mainstreaming of a culture and worldview Fugazi held dear.

Drive-By Truckers’ Southern Rock Opera Rien Fertel, Independent Scholar, USA
Southern Rock Opera takes listeners on a road trip through the American South, with stops in Alabama steel towns and north Florida swamps, recording studios and tour buses, and even Heaven and Hell. Along the way, the Truckers attempt to untangle the mess that is Southern history by exploring the contradictory, dualistic nature of the region. Like twin paths intersecting and diverging before meeting again, the opera’s libretto focuses on the lives of two bands: the fictional Betamax Guillotine, a stand-in for the Truckers themselves, and Southern Rock gods Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Jawbreaker's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy Ronen Givony, Independent Scholar, USA
Ronen Givony's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy is an extended tribute in the spirit of Nicholson Baker's U & I: a passionate, highly personal, and occasionally obsessive study of one of the great confessional rock albums of the '90s. At the same time, it offers a quizzical look back to the toxic authenticity battles of the decade, ponders what happened to the question of "selling out," and asks whether we today are enriched or impoverished by this authenticity debate becoming obsolete.

Lou Reed's Transformer
Ezra Furman, Independent Scholar, USA Transformer, Lou Reed's most enduringly popular album, is described with varying labels: a glam rock album, a proto-punk album, a commercial breakthrough for Lou Reed, and an album about being gay. Buried underneath the radio-friendly exterior lie coded confessions of the subversive, wounded intelligence that gives this album its staying power as a work of art. Lou Reed managed to make a fun, accessible rock'n'roll record that is also a meditation on the ambiguities, both sexual and musical, that defined his public persona and helped make him one of the most fascinating and influential figures in rock history. Through close listening and personal reflections, songwriter Ezra Furman explores the beguiling question of how Transformer pulls off this brilliant sleight of hand, and the secrets it challenges us to uncover.

Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee
Rachel Lee Rubin, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Every now and then, a song will grab the kind of attention that hosts conversations, debates, disputes, and brawls. Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee," released in 1969, is a prime example of that important role of popular music. "Okie" immediately helped to frame an ongoing conversation about region and class, pride and politics, culture and counterculture. But the conversation, useful as it was, drowned out the song itself, along with the other songs on the live album—named for "Okie" and performed in Muskogee—that Haggard had carefully chosen to frame what has turned out to be his most famous song.

Cornelius's Fantasma
Martin Roberts, Dartmouth College, USA In Tokyo in the early 1990s, an indie band called Flipper’s Guitar was at the forefront of a new wave in Japanese popular music known as Shibuya-kei. The band’s founder, Keigo Oyamada, would go on to produce under the name Cornelius a series of albums that are among the most innovative in Japanese popular music of the past two decades. Oyamada’s third album under his Cornelius alter-ego, Fantasma (1997), played a key role in putting J-pop on the world map of Western music fans, and Oyamada himself is today one of the most respected figures in the Japanese music industry.

Dona Ivone Lara's Sorriso Negro
Siouxsie and the Banshees were always an awkward musical fit, shoehorned into punk history as ‘also rans’ then lazily mislabeled post-punk ‘goths.’ In a last-ditch attempt to resurrect their flailing career, the self-proclaimed ‘non-musicians’ recruited a classically trained cellist to embellish their modern, experimental soundscapes. Subsequently, in creating a record akin to a Hollywood film score, the Banshees ‘broke America,’ were adopted into the US alt-rock canon and scored a Billboard number-one hit. Starring Roger Corman, Bernard Herrmann, Walt Disney, and Louise Brooks, also featuring Hammer Horror and Hitchcock, Peepshow is the soundtrack to all the films Siouxsie and the Banshees ever saw. Or it might have been the soundtrack to the greatest film they never made.
More than simply a paragon of Brazilian samba, Dona (Lady) Ivone Lara’s 1981 Sorriso Negro is an album deeply embedded in the political and social tensions of its time. By looking at one of the most important samba albums ever recorded (that also happened to be composed by a black woman), Mila Burns explores the pathbreaking career of Dona Ivone, tracing the ways in which she navigated the tense gender and race relations of the samba universe to ultimately conquer the masculine world of samba composers.

Tori Amos's Boys for Pele
Amy Gentry, Independent Scholar, USA It’s hard to think of a solo female recording artist who has been as revered or as reviled over the course of her career as Tori Amos. Amy Gentry argues that these violent aesthetic responses to Amos’s performance, both positive and negative, are organized around disgust—the disgust that women are taught to feel. Released in 1996, Amos’s third album, Boys for Pele, represents the height of Amos’s willingness to explore the ugly qualities that make all of her music, even her more conventionally beautiful albums, so uncomfortably, and so wonderfully, strange.

João Gilberto and Stan Getz's Getz/Gilberto
Bryan Daniel McCann, Georgetown University, USA How did Getz/Gilberto become the Brazilian album known around the world, crossing generational and demographic divides? Bryan McCann traces the musical collaboration between leading figure of bossa nova João Gilberto and Philadelphia-born and New Yorkraised cool jazz artist Stan Getz. Yet in spite of the album’s namesake, it was more than just Getz and Gilberto who propelled the album’s international success. The less-understood contributors (Astrud Gilberto’s unrehearsed, English-language vocals; Creed Taylor’s immaculate production; Olga Albizú’s arresting, abstract-expressionist cover art) created a perfect balance of talents that led to not just a great album, but a global pop sensation that still deserves to be taken seriously today.

"Fresh approach to understanding the output of the On the Road novelist, which uses music to illuminate his written work." The Bookseller He was the king of the Beat Generation and the most dynamic novelist of his time, but Jack Kerouac had a lifelong passion for music. The novelist, most famous for his 1957 book On the Road, admired the sounds of bebop and attempted to bring something of their original energy to his own writing. In Kerouac on Record, contributors consider the writer's own recorded output, those rock tributes that have kept his memory alive, and the scores that have featured in a string of Hollywood adaptations of his fictional adventures.
Prince, Race, Sex, Religion, and Music "Vogel lets Prince's legacy shine in all its vague and erratic splendor." PopMatters Prince had the ability to attain mass, cross-racial popularity while doing so on his own terms and retaining his eccentric, often subversive individuality. This Thing Called Life offers a vivid, multi-faceted look at the artist and demonstrates how profound his influence was and still is on American and global culture.

An Architectural History of Popular Music Performance Venues Robert Kronenburg, University of Liverpool, UK This book examines in detail the design and form of popular music architecture and charts how it has been developed in ad-hoc ways by non-professionals, such as building owners, promoters, and the musicians themselves, as well as professionally by architects, designers, and construction specialists. From music halls and Vaudeville in the 1800s to large-scale multi-million-dollar area concerts, it explores the impact that the use of public space for performance has on urban identity and how it influences the city, and, to a lesser extent, how rural space is perceived and used.

British Progressive Pop 1970-1980
Andy Bennett, Griffith University, Australia Positioned between the psychedelic and countercultural music of the late 1960s and the punk and new wave styles of the late 1970s, early 1970s British popular music is often overlooked. However, British popular music in the early 1970s was in fact highly diverse with many artists arguably displaying an eclecticism and flair for musical experimentation.This book considers the significance of early 1970s British pop-rock as a period during which the boundaries between pop and rock were periodically relaxed, providing a platform for musical creativity less confined by genre and branding.

Building Communities, Mediating Genres Edited by Morten Michelsen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Mads Krogh, Aarhus University, Denmark, Steen Kaargaard Nielsen, Aarhus University, Denmark & Iben Have, Aarhus University, Denmark Why is music so important to radio? This anthology explores the ways in which musical life and radio interact, overlap, and have influenced each other for nearly a century. One of music radio’s major functions is to help build smaller or larger communities by continuously offering broadcast music as a means to create identity and senses of belonging. Music radio also helps identify and develop musical genres in collaboration with listeners and the music industry by mediating and by gatekeeping. Focusing on popular music from around the world, Music Radio discusses what music radio is and for what purposes it is produced.

Popular Music in the Post-Digital Age
Politics, Economy, Culture and Technology Edited by Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire, UK, Leslie Gillon, University of Central Lancashire, UK & Tony Rigg, University of Central Lancashire, UK Popular Music in a Post-Digital Age explores how changes in economy and technology affect popular music for both the industry and culture at large. Citing Jacques Attali’s theory that “music runs parallel to human society, is structured like it, and changes when it does,” this book presents the required study of wider economic, political, and cultural changes under the impact of neoliberalism. This allows us to understand not only the future developments in the music industry but also the value in treating the state of popular music as a litmus test to assess what will happen in the economy and in society.

Electronic Dance Music Festivals and Event-Cultures Edited by Graham St John, University in Fribourg, Switzerland and Griffith University, Australia "A genuinely international treatment of contemporary musical festivals, rooted in rich field work and sharp observation. It invites us to think in new ways about utopian spaces, collective experience and the nature of the musical commodity. Highly recommended." Will Straw, McGill University, Canada EDM festivals have become stages for the performance of transnational meta-cultural aesthetics (e.g. techno, psychedelic, baile funk) and their potential synthesis. Weekend Societies illustrates how a complex array of regional, economic, social, cultural and political factors combine to determine the fate of EDM festivals that transpire at the intersections of the local and global.

Conversations on Music, Film, Literature, and Other Radical Arts Edited by Rachel Lee Rubin, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA "An indispensable compilation of oral histories— and an often-exhilarating exchange of ideas on the roles of artists on the front lines of activism today."

An Introduction to Music and Media Charles Fairchild, University of Sydney, Australia
What does it means for an artist to be “political”? Moving away from a narrow idea about the politics of elections, advocacy groups, or concrete manifestos, the subjects of Creative Activism do their work through song, poetry, painting, and other arts. The interviews take us from the Occupy movement to the fantasy worlds created by fascinating writers of spectacular fiction, challenging any notion that some other time was the golden age of political art.
At the advent of new forms of media, be it sound recording, film, television, or the Internet, music has been a crucial participant in the social changes brought about by new tools for making and listening to music. This book examines such changes from the late 19th century to the present. With readings at the end of most chapters, key questions to facilitate additional discovery and research, and direction to additional readings and resources on popular websites and news sources, this text serves as the ideal introduction to popular music and media.

Modern Records, Maverick Methods
Technology and Process in Popular Music Record Production 1978-2000 Samantha Bennett, Australian National University, Australia Modern Records examines a critical period in commercial popular music record production: the transformative digital age from the late 1970s until 2000. The book traces the development of significant music technologies through the 1980s and 1990s, reveals how changing attitudes and innovative techniques of recording personnel reimagined recording processes and, finally, exemplifies the impact of these technologies and techniques via six comprehensive tech-processual analyses. Bennett interprets the development of music technologies in the analogue and digital domains as not in opposition, but in confluence; this meticulously researched and timely book reveals the complexity of recordists’ responses to a technological landscape in flux.

Sonic Writing
Technologies of Material, Symbolic, and Signal Inscriptions Thor Magnusson, University of Sussex, UK Sonic Writing traces the material and symbolic conditions of composition and performance in contemporary musical media through three interconnected strands of inscription: 1) how the design of musical instruments and software systems encapsulates theory and thereby becomes a form of sonic writing, 2) how diverse systems of musical notation have evolved in alignment with new instruments, performance contexts and artistic ideologies, and 3) the genealogy of phonographic techniques, ranging from etching waves onto disks to machine listening, and how these have affected musical notation and interpretation.

Microphones and Loudspeakers as Musical Instruments
"This is a genuinely fascinating and underrepresented area of compositional research and activity, and the strongest portion of van Eck’s book is the riveting overview of the repertoire." TEMPO After the sound reproduction industry had claimed “perfect high fidelity” for sound recordings already at the beginning of the 20th century, composers and sound artists challenged this perfection by tweaking microphones and loudspeakers to make them act as a musical instrument instead of a mere sound reproduction device. This book explores the instrumental use of microphones and loudspeakers in music since the 1950s. The popular noise musician Merzbow and cult instrument inventor Hugh Davies, among others, made audible what was supposed to remain silent.

A Cultural Theory of Sound Design
Sound Works provides a cultural theory of sound design founded on historical, empirical and critical analysis. When you turned on your computer this morning you had to listen to disjointed system sounds, start up chimes, alert noises and auditory warning signals, perhaps accompanied by your favorite music in the background or on your headphones. Through the prehistory of such functional sounds since the advent of mediatisation and electrification, this text introduces the selected practices, conflicts, and aporias of contemporary sound design.

Dangerous Mediations
Pop Music in a Philippine Prison Video Áine Mangaoang, University of Liverpool, UK
Music as an Art Roger Scruton
Bestselling author and philosopher Roger Scruton follows up his classic work of criticism, Understanding Music, by turning his immense critical faculties to contemporary and classical music. In this new book he turns again to the meaning of tonality and sound. His abstract, somewhat mystical, argument on these topics includes slashing attacks on Marxist reductionism, the authenticity of Early Music, on rival aestheticians such as Adorno, and on sentimentality and cliché in any form. As in Understanding Music, he also expounds his views on pop music, in a most satisfying and provocative new work.

This text examines the interplay between Michael Jackson’s songs and music videos and how they have been interpreted and performed by a group of 1500 Filipino inmates at the Cebu Provincial Rehabilitation and Detention Centre, who achieved viral video fame after the release of their 2007 performance of Jackson’s Thriller. Reflecting on how Jackson’s performances pollinate across cultures and nations, this book demonstrates that audiovisual digital platforms such as YouTube play an important role in shaping collective understandings and experiences, while ultimately arguing for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of music’s power and affect in places of detention.

Amplifications Sonic Rupture
A Practice-led Approach to Urban Soundscape Design Jordan Lacey, RMIT University, Australia "An honest and refreshing take on the urban side of the acoustic ecology equation … The book’s overall project is one that is grounded in an artistic inquiry, and much of its research content and knowledge is informed by the intuitive act of making by an urban dweller. It is an excellent example of research-creation, and a welcome addition to the growing body of work in sound studies." Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology Sonic Rupture provides the domains of sound art, music, creative practice, urban design, architecture and environmental philosophy with a unique perspective for understanding those affective forces.
Poetic Migration, Auditory Memory Paul Carter, RMIT University, Australia Written by one of the most prominent thinkers in sound studies, Amplifications presents a perspective on sound narrated through the experiences of a sound artist and writer. A work of reflective philosophy, Amplifications sits at the intersection of history, creative practice, and sound studies, recounting this narrative through a series of themes (rattles, echoes, recordings, etc.). Carter offers a unique perspective on migratory poetics, bringing together his own compositions and life’s works while using his personal narrative to frame larger theoretical questions about sound and migration.

Case Studies in Musical Temporality Richard Glover, University of Huddersfield, UK, Bryn Harrison, University of Huddersfield, UK & Jennie Gottschalk, Independent Scholar, USA In a highly accessible format using case studies, Being Time employs an ongoing dialogue to examine how various compositional concerns within experimental and minimal musics affect our sense of time and duration. Phenomenological lineage from Husserl through MerleauPonty to Clifton infuses the discussion to provide experiential arguments, rather than abstracted hypotheses. An introductory chapter on experimental music is followed by studies of individual composers and artists, such as Morton Feldman, Manfred Werder, Bernhardt Günter, Richard Chartier, La Monte Young and Toshiya Tsunoda, who are embedded in the continuing discourse, along with issues of perception and memory in experimental music.

The Political Possibility of Sound Fragments of Listening
Salomé Voegelin, London College of Communication, UK Eight independent yet thematically related essays explore listening as a sociopolitical practice of sound, raising current aesthetic and political questions. The themes of these essays emerge from and deepen discussions started in Voegelin’s previous books, Listening to Noise and Silence and Sonic Possible Worlds, and further engage the relationship between aesthetic practice and political possibility. Continuing the methodological juxtaposition of phenomenology and logic, each essay represents a fragment of listening to sound art, music and the soundscape, to hear their possibilities and develop words for what appears impossible.

Humming
Suk-Jun Kim, University of Aberdeen, UK The first sound studies book to explore the topic, Humming offers a unique and original examination of the polarising categories of hums, from hums that are performed only to oneself, that are exercised in religious practice, that claim healing, and that resonate with our bodies, to hums that can drive people to madness, that emanate from cities and towns, and that resound in the universe. By acknowledging the quirkiness of hums within the established discourse in sound studies, Humming takes a truly interdisciplinary view on this familiar yet less-trodden sonic concept in sound studies.

Musical Encounters with Deleuze and Guattari Edited by Pirkko Moisala, University of Helsinki, Finland, Taru Leppänen, University of Turku, Finland, Milla Tiainen, University of Helsinki, Finland & Hanna Väätäinen, University of Helsinki, Finland
This is the first volume to mobilize encounters between the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and the rich developments in cultural studies of music and sound. Stretching from movement improvisation, vocal performance art, reality TV talent shows and deaf musicians to ethnographic fieldwork, artistic research and musical body studies, this book demonstrates how musical and sonic practices and expressions can be reconsidered as instances of becoming, actors in assemblages, and actualizations of virtual tendencies.

Future Sounds
The Temporality of Noise Stephen Kennedy, University of Greenwich, UK "Kennedy has brilliantly shown how the nonlinearity and multi-temporality of noise has been productive of so-called digital culture. Key reading for anyone interested in the realities of the digital age and the most relevant philosophies of time and technology." Timothy Barker, University of Glasgow, UK What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is a frenzied and busy field? Future Sounds examines historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about time and the necessity to recontextualize and interpret them in the digital age.
