Smart Machines

IBM’s Watson and the Era of Cognitive Computing John E. Kelly III and Steve Hamm How wi l l com p ute r s s h a pe bu si n ess , the e conom y, and o u r li v es i n t h e fu t u r e ?

We are crossing a new frontier in the evolution of computing: the era of cognitive systems. The victory of IBM’s Watson on the television quiz show Jeopardy! signaled the advent of this new era, revealing how scientists and engineers at IBM and elsewhere are pushing the boundaries of science and technology to create machines that sense, learn, reason, and interact with people in new ways.

In Smart Machines, John E. Kelly III, director of IBM Research, and Steve Hamm, a writer at IBM and a former business and technology journalist, introduce the fascinating world of “cognitive systems” to general audiences and provide a window into the future of computing. Cognitive systems promise to penetrate complexity and assist people and organizations in better decision making. They can help doctors better diagnose and treat patients, augment the ways we see, anticipate major weather events, and contribute to smarter urban planning. Kelly and Hamm describe this technology inside and out and illuminate the difficulty of harnessing and understanding “big data,” one of the major computing challenges facing technicians in the coming decades.

Their book will inspire governments, academics, and the global tech industry to work together to power this exciting wave in innovation.

and director of IBM Research and helps guide IBM’s overall technical strategy.

“IBM's Watson is one of the most important technological breakthroughs in decades, and this is the go-to book for understanding what this new technology is all about and how it will change your life.”

—Tyler Cowen, author of Average Is Over: Powering America Beyond the Age of the Great Stagnation

“This provides an understanding of the immense possibilities offered by the intelligent collaboration of man and machine; readers can then tackle the difficult yet essential task of ensuring these new cognitive technologies will, in practice, be devoted to bettering our lives.”

The Insect Cookbook

Food for a Sustainable Planet Arnold van Huis, Henk van Gurp, and Marcel Dicke T h e defin it ive guide to un dersta n din g a n d wo r kin g wit h in se cts as a fo o d so urce.

In The Insect Cookbook, two entomologists and a chef make the case for insects as a sustainable source of protein for humans and a necessary part of our future diet. They provide consumers and chefs with the essential facts about insects for culinary use, with recipes simple enough to make at home yet boasting the international flair of the world’s most chic dishes.

“An attractive mixture of background information on insects, their anatomy, history of use in food and other products, food culture, recipes, and interviews, this book is very carefully prepared and a pleasure to read.”

—Job Ubbink, coeditor of The Kitchen as Laboratory: Reflections on the Science of Food and Cooking

“This book is beautifully presented, well written, and has a variety of authorities to support its case that we need to consider incorporating insects into our diets for ecological reasons.”

—Theresia de Vroom, Marymount Institute for Faith

Insects are delicious and healthy. A large proportion of the world’s population eats them as a delicacy.

In Mexico, roasted ants are considered a treat, and the Japanese adore wasps. Insects not only are a tasty and versatile ingredient in the kitchen but also are full of protein, and insect farming is much more sustainable than meat production. The Insect Cookbook contains delicious recipes; interviews with top chefs, insect farmers, political figures, and nutrition experts (including chef René Redzepi, whose establishment was elected three times as “best restaurant of the world”; Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations; and Daniella Martin of Girl Meets Bug); and all you want to know about cooking with insects, teaching twenty-first-century consumers where to buy insects, which ones are edible, and how to store and prepare them.

1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 shallot, minced 1 garlic clove, crushed 4 tablespoons very finely sliced leek ½ cup (20 g) mealworms, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon sambal oelek (raw hot chili paste), or more to taste • ½ pound (230 g) ground meat (all beef or mixed pork and beef ) • 2 tablespoons bread crumbs • 1 large egg • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • Salt

FR I E D WONTON

• 20 (4-inch [10 cm] square) egg-roll wrappers • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour • Chili sauce

1 . Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over mediumhigh heat and fry the shallot, garlic, leek, mealworms, and the teaspoon of sambal oelek lightly for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the pan.

2. Add the ground meat, bread crumbs, egg, and seasonings and knead well. This should be a well-seasoned mixture; add a little salt and more sambal oelek, if necessary.

3. Whisk the flour into 3 tablespoons of water to make a paste.

4. Divide the meat mixture into twenty portions and roll each into a ball. Wrap each ball in an egg-roll wrapper and use the flour paste to seal the edges. Shape into a little pouch by gathering and twisting the corners together.

5. Heat oil in deep fryer to 350° F (180°C). Fry the wontons in batches for 5 minutes, until nicely browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, with chili sauce for dipping.

Yield: 20 wontons TIPS: • If you are using fresh mealworms instead of

freeze-dried, use ¼ pound (120 g) of mealworms and ¼ pound (120 g) of ground meat.

• Rinse the mealworms and blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute. Rinse with cold water and drain well, then chop them coarsely, using a food processor. Knead with the remaining ingredients.

Alain Badiou shares the clearest, most detailed account to date of his profound indebtedness to Lacanian psychoanalysis. He explains in depth the tools Lacan gave him to navigate the extremes of his other two philosophical “masters,” Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser. Élisabeth Roudinesco supplements Badiou’s experience with her own perspective on the French analytic world since Lacan’s death—critiquing, for example, the link (or lack thereof ) between politics and psychoanalysis in Lacan’s work. Their dynamic exchange is an intimate, at times contentious, yet ultimately productive debate that reinvigorates the work of a pivotal twentieth-century thinker.

“This is a highly readable and relevant discussion. Badiou and Roudinesco each contribute an important piece of the puzzle that is the figure and thought of Jacques Lacan. Both the general reader and specialists in

Ahmed the Philosopher

Thirty-Four Short Plays for Children and Everyone Else Alain Badiou Translated by Joseph Litvak A com i c i ntr od uc t i o n to t h e t h o u g h t o f o n e of th e wor l d ’ s g r e at est li v i n g ph i los o ph e r s .

In Ahmed the Philosopher, Alain Badiou’s most entertaining and accessible play, translated into English here for the first time, readers are introduced to Badiou’s philosophy through a theatrical tour de force that has met with great success in France. The play presents its comic hero, the “treacherous servant” Ahmed, as a seductively trenchant philosopher even as it casts philosophy itself as a comic performance.

The comedy unfolds as a series of lessons, with each “short play” or sketch illuminating a different Badiouian concept. Yet Ahmed does more than illustrate philosophical abstractions; he embodies and vivifies the theatrical and performative aspects of philosophy, mobilizing a comic energy that exposes the emptiness and pomp of the world.

Through his example, the audience is moved to a living engagement with philosophy, realizing the power to break through the limits of everyday life.

“Litvak’s translation is a remarkable achievement, both faithful to the original and enormously creative in its transposition into our language and culture. It is smart, eloquent, and truly a delight to read.”

“This is a terrific translation of an intriguing play. In it, Badiou presents the most fundamental elements of his philosophy, including his critique of multiculturalism, his theory of the event, and his ruminations on love, in a vivid, dramatic form. This work makes an excellent introduction to Badiou.”

Kenneth J. Arrow Lecture Series

Presented in Partnership with the Committee on Global Thought

and the Program for Economic Research at Columbia University

Columbia University Press is proud to announce the publication of an ongoing series of books based on the Kenneth J. Arrow Lectures at Columbia University. The first three books in the series—from such leading economic thinkers as Joseph E. Stiglitz, Bruce C. Greenwald, Amartya Sen, Eric Maskin, and José Scheinkman—will be available this spring.

Kenneth J. Arrow’s work has so deeply shaped the course of economics for the past sixty years that, in a sense, every modern economist is his student. His ideas, style of research, and breadth of vision have been a model for generations of the boldest, most creative, and most innovative economists.

His work has yielded such seminal theorems as general equilibrium, social choice, and endogenous growth, proving that simple ideas have profound effects.

The Kenneth J. Arrow Lecture Series highlights economists, from Nobel laureates to groundbreaking younger scholars, whose work builds on Arrow’s scholarship and his innovative spirit. The books in the series are an expansion of these lectures, which to date have included

Bruce C. Greenwald and Joseph E. Stiglitz on the role of innovation in the economy, with Philippe Aghion and Robert Solow • Eric Maskin and Amartya Sen on social choice theory and the impossibility theorem, with Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow • JosÉ a. Scheinkman on the impact of speculative trading on bubbles, with Patrick Bolton and Sandy Grossman • Partha Dasgupta on the welfare economics of climate change, with Kenneth J. Arrow, Scott Barrett, Geoffrey Heal, and Joseph E. Stiglitz • Amy Finkelstein on the economics of health care, with Jonathan Gruber, Joseph E. Stiglitz, and Kenneth J. Arrow • and Christian Gollier on carbon pricing and discount rates, with Bernard Salanié, Joseph E. Stiglitz, and Kenneth J. Arrow The Committee on Global Thought explores global modernity from an innovative, interdisciplinary perspective and reconceptual-

izes the approaches required to confront the challenges of globalization. The distinguished faculty of the Committee work to augment Columbia’s role as a global university by fostering a research community of scholars and practitioners engaged with the global and disseminating knowledge through publications, seminars, courses, and public events.

The Program for Economic Research, founded in 2003, enhances the research environment for economists at Columbia Univer-

sity across a range of activities, including research-funding proposal development and portfolio management; seed funding for early-stage research; public programs, conferences, and events; and visiting researcher programs.

Creating a Learning Society

l e c t u r e s e r ie s

A New Approach to Growth, Development, and Social Progress Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald With Philippe Aghion, Kenneth J. Arrow, Robert M. Solow, and Michael Woodford a Ne w par ad igm fo r e co n o m i c g r ow t h t h e o ry that wi l l r e volut i o n i z e n at i o n a l a n d inte r nati onal p oli cy.

It has long been recognized that most increases in the standard of living are associated with advances in technology, not the accumulation of capital. Yet it has also become clear that what separates developed from less-developed countries is a gap in knowledge.

Therefore, how countries learn and become more productive is key to understanding how they grow and develop. In this book, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald spell out the implications of this insight for economic theory and policy. Starting with Kenneth J. Arrow’s 1962 paper “Learning

by Doing,” they explain why the production of knowledge differs from that of other goods and why market economies are typically not efficient in the production and transmission of knowledge.

Combining technical analysis with accessible prose, Stiglitz and Greenwald offer new models of “endogenous growth” that upend received thinking about global policy and trade regimes. They show why many standard policy prescriptions impede learning and why free trade may lead to stagnation while broad-based industrial protection and exchange rate interventions can benefit the whole economy.

Praise for Joseph E. Stiglitz: “Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize–winning economist, and he deserves to be. Over a long career, he has made incisive and highly valued contributions to the explanation of an astonishingly broad range of economic phenomena, including taxes, interest rates, consumer behavior, corporate finance, and much else. Especially among economists who are still of active working age, he ranks as a titan of the field.”

Kenneth J. Arrow’s “impossibility theorem” was a watershed in the history of welfare economics, voting theory, and collective choice, demonstrating that there is no voting rule that satisfies the four desirable axioms of decisiveness, consensus, nondictatorship, and independence.

Praise for Amartya Sen: “Without hyperbole, no postwar intellectual of the first rank has done more good for more people—above all, many of the world’s poorest— than Amartya Sen.” —The Independent

Praise for Eric Maskin: “A great scholar is one who can identify good research questions and then, with great care and thought, begin to uncover some of their answers. By this vital standard, Eric Maskin is truly one of the greatest scholars I have ever known.”

—Roger Myerson, University of Chicago

In this book, Eric Maskin and Amartya Sen explore the implications of Arrow’s theorem. Maskin discusses how to design a voting rule that gets us closer to the ideal—given that achieving the ideal is impossible—and Sen considers the theorum's ongoing utility, exploring its value and limitations in relation to recent research on social reasoning. The volume also contains a contextual introduction by social choice scholar Prasanta K. Pattanaik and commentaries from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Arrow himself, as well as essays by Maskin and Sen outlining the mathematical proof and framework behind their assertions.

The history of financial markets is full of moments in which asset prices inflate far beyond their intrinsic value. These events are commonly called bubbles, and in this book, José A. Scheinkman and other top economists offer new explanations for this phenomenon.

Scheinkman discusses such factors as high trading volume and the coincidence between bubbles’ implosion and increases in supply, and he develops a model for bubbles based on differences in beliefs among investors. Patrick Bolton and Sanford J. Grossman comment on Scheinkman’s work, investigating factors that contribute to bubbles, such as excessive leverage, overconfidence, mania, and panic in speculative markets. Kenneth J. Arrow and Joseph E. Stiglitz add introductory material contextualizing Scheinkman’s findings.

“Highly informative, up to date, and entertaining, this book emphasizes that the brain is constantly being constructed during an individual’s lifetime, like a medieval cathedral that is never finished yet ages without reaching ‘maturity.’ The brain, like the cathedral, is forever being repaired and restored. A stimulating read.”

—Israel Rosenfield, author of The Invention of Memory

Two leading neuroscientists introduce the concepts of “cerebral plasticity” and the “regenerating brain,” describing what we know now about the processes through which the brain constantly reconstructs itself and the potential benefits this knowledge might bring to neurological, cognitive, and emotional health.

The authors begin with a survey of the fundamental scientific developments that led to our current understanding of the regenerative mind, elucidating some of the breakthrough neurobiological studies that paved the way for our present understanding of the brain’s plasticity and regenerative capabilities.

They then discuss the application of these findings to such issues as depression, dyslexia, schizophrenia, and cognitive therapy, incorporating the latest technologies in neuroimaging, optogenetics, and nanotechnology. Their work shows the brain is anything but a static organ, ceasing to grow as human beings become adults. Rather, the brain is dynamic, evolving organically in relation to physical, cultural, historical, and affective stimuli, a plasticity that provides great hope to survivors of trauma and degenerative disorders.

The year is 2393, and a senior scholar of the Second People’s Republic of China presents a gripping, deeply disturbing account of how the children of the Enlightenment, the political and economic elites of the so-called advanced industrial societies, entered into a Penumbral period in the twenty-first century, when sound science and rational discourse about global change were prohibited and clear warnings of climate catastrophe were ignored. What ensues when soaring temperatures, rising sea levels, drought, and mass migrations disrupt the global governmental and economic regimes?

This work is an important title that can change how readers look at the world. Dramatizing climate change in ways traditional nonfiction cannot, this inventive, at times humorous work reasserts the importance of scientists and reveals the self-serving interests of the so-called carbon-combustion complex that have turned the practice of sound science into political fodder. The book includes a lexicon of historical and scientific terms and an interview with the authors.

Umami

Unlocking the Secrets of the Fifth Taste Ole G. Mouritsen and Klavs Styrbæk Translated by Mariela Johansen and Designed by Jonas Drotner Mouritsen A comprehensive look at the phenomenon revolutionizing how we make and experience food.

In the West we have identified four basic tastes: sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. Yet in many parts of East Asia over the past century, an additional flavor has entered the culinary lexicon: umami, a fifth taste impression that is savory, complex, and distinct.

“A wide-ranging and welcome progress report on our understanding of taste and deliciousness.”

—Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking

“Mouritsen and Styrbæk demystify and explain in lay terms the science of umami, including many Japanese elements that have not been explained in English before. Along

Combining culinary history with recent research into the chemistry, preparation, nutrition, and culture of food, this book encapsulates what we know to date about the concept of umami. Umami can be found in soup stocks, meat dishes, air-dried ham, shellfish, aged cheeses, mushrooms, and ripe tomatoes, and researchers have discovered which substances bring out umami, a breakthrough that allows the casual preparation of delicious and more nutritious meals with less fat, salt, and sugar. The implications of harnessing umami are sensuous and social, enabling us to become more intimate with the subtleties of human taste while making better food choices for ourselves and our families.

The Winemaker’s Hand

Conversations on Talent, Technique, and Terroir Natalie Berkowitz Wi ne m aker s r e v e a l h ow a v i n t n e r ’ s a ppr oac h af f e c ts th e natur e o f t h e w i n e t h e y pr o d u c e .

In these fascinating interviews, winemakers from the United States and abroad clarify the complex process of converting grapes into wine, with more than forty vintners candidly discussing how a combination of talent, passion, and experience shape the outcome of their individual wines.

Each winemaker details their personal approach to the various steps required to convert grapes into wine. Natalie Berkowitz speaks to winemakers from different locations and backgrounds who work in diverse wine-producing regions, including Chile, England, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, and the United States. They talk about familiar and unfamiliar grape varietals, their struggles with local terroirs, and the vagaries of Mother Nature. Some represent small, family wineries with limited production while others work for corporations producing hundreds of thousands of bottles. Each individual offers rare insight into how new technologies are revolutionizing historic winemaking practices. The interviews are supplemented with personal recipes and maps of winemaking regions. An aroma wheel captures the vast array of wine’s complex flavors and aromas.

The Wrong Carlos

Anatomy of a Wrongful Execution James S. Liebman and The Columbia DeLuna Project A sta rt lin g in vest igat io n in to t he America n j u st i ce syst em’ s deep est flaws a n d what it w i ll ta ke to fix t hem.

In 1989, Texas executed Carlos DeLuna, a poor Hispanic man with childlike intelligence, for the murder of Wanda Lopez, a convenience store clerk.

His execution passed unnoticed for years until a team of Columbia Law School faculty and students almost accidentally chose to investigate his case and found that DeLuna was almost certainly innocent.

“The Wrong Carlos is distinctive in its sheer comprehensiveness of investigation and presentation. It will be an instant classic in criminology.”

—Jordan Steiker, University of Texas at Austin

“Liebman and his coauthors tell an important story of an alleged wrongful execution that highlights several important yet often overlooked problems plaguing our criminal justice system, ranging from the pitfalls of eyewitness identification to the disadvantages of the restrictions of habeas corpus.”

They discovered that no one had cared enough about the defendant or the victim to make sure the real perpetrator was found. DeLuna’s defense, that another man named Carlos had committed the crime, was not taken seriously. The evidence the Columbia team uncovered reveals that Carlos Hernandez not only existed but was well known to police and prosecutors. Families of both Carloses mistook photos of each for the other, and Hernandez’s violence continued after DeLuna was put to death. This book and its website (thewrongcarlos.net) reproduce law-enforcement, crime-lab, lawyer, court, social-service, media, and witness records, as well as court transcripts, photographs, radio traffic, and audio- and videotaped interviews, and concludes with suggestions for improving accuracy among the police, prosecutors, forensic scientists, and judges.

Winnebago Nation

The RV in American Culture James B. Twitchell The p op ul ar c r i ti c ta kes to t h e r oa d to e xp lor e th e al lu r e o f t h e n o m a d i c life i n a h ouse on w h eels .

There are close to 8.5 million RVs on the U.S. highways and roads today, and if you are a man in your fifties, there is a good chance you have owned or are about to own a recreational vehicle.

Winnebago Nation is a light-hearted look at the culture and industry behind the yearning to spend the night in one’s car. For the young, the roadtrip is a coming-of-age ceremony; for those later in life, it is the realization of a lifelong desire to be spontaneous, nomadic, and free.

James B. Twitchell recounts the RV’s origins and evolution over the twentieth century; its rise, fall, and rebirth as a cultural icon; its growing mechanical complexity as it evolved from an estate wagon to a converted bus to a mobile home; and its role in bolstering and challenging conceptions of American identity. Mechanical yet dreamy, independent yet needful, solitary yet clubby, adventurous yet homebound, life in a mobile home is a distillation of the American character and an important embodiment of American exceptionalism (Richie Rich and Hobo Hank spend time in essentially the same rig at the same campground). The frontier may be tapped out, but we still yearn for the exploratory life. Twitchell concludes with his thoughts on mobile cities becoming a part of the American landscape.

“This book draws on Twitchell’s own experiences as well as historical and sociological sources to explain the tremendous appeal of the RV for its aficionados, the disdain many Americans feel toward it, and the paradoxical qualities of a population of motorized nomads who seem to seek both individualistic escape and communitarian society. Twitchell locates his interpretation of these questions in the enduring mythos of the road and the frontier; in a lingering Puritanism that demands accountability along with freedom; and in the RV’s ability to reconcile

The World’s First Stock Exchange Lodewijk Petram

Translated by Lynne Richards A n i mmersi ve histo ry t hat revea ls t he crit ica l r o le o f huma n b ehavio r in t he develo p men t o f t h e sto ck ma rke t.

The launch of the Dutch East India Company in 1602 initiated Amsterdam’s transformation from a regional market town into a dominant financial center. The Company introduced easily transferable shares, and within days buyers had begun to trade them. Soon the public was engaging in a variety of complex transactions, including forwards, futures, options, and bear raids, and by 1680, the techniques deployed in the Amsterdam market were as sophisticated as any we practice today.

Lodewijk Petram links today’s products to yesterday’s innovations, tying the market to the behavior of individuals and the workings of the world around them. Traveling back to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Petram visits the harbor where merchants met to strike deals. He describes the main players, investors, shady characters, speculators, and ordinary folk who played a role in the development of the market and its crises. His history clarifies concerns that investors still struggle with today, such as fraud, the value of information, trust and the place of honor, managing diverging expectations, and balancing risk, and does so in a way that is vivid, relatable, and critical to understanding our contemporary financial predicament.

“Petram’s book is a very good example of that rare specimen: a financial history for a popular audience. The reader gets a very good feeling of atmosphere, of time and place, and of the specific society that gave rise to our contemporary financial structure.”

—Joost Jonker, University of Amsterdam

“Extremely accessible and clear.

Petram writes for the general reader and carefully conveys intricate details in an admirably lucid way. One of the best explanations I have seen

Looks Good on Paper?

Using In-Depth Personality Assessment to Predict Leadership Performance Leslie S. Pratch How c an or g ani zat i o n s e n s u r e t h e y a r e h i r i n g t h e r igh t e xe c uti v e fo r t h e j o b?

Leslie S. Pratch is a practicing psychologist who focuses on assessing and coaching executives who occupy or are candidates for top positions in business organizations. In this book, she shares insights from more than twenty years of executive evaluations and offers an empirically based approach to identify executives who will be effective within organizations—and to flag those who will ultimately fail—by evaluating aspects of personality and character that are hidden beneath the surface.

Pratch compares candidates with impressive careers and tries to determine which ones are likely to act with consistently high integrity and exhibit sound, timely judgment when faced with unanticipated business problems. Central to effective leadership is a psychological quality called “active coping,” which Pratch defines and explores by referencing case studies, historical figures, and her own scholarly work. This book speaks not only to those in hiring positions and their advisors but more widely to leaders and anyone who wishes to learn more about their own character and the abilities of those around them.

She offers knowledge, asks questions, and challenges common perceptions, providing a practical tool for those in business and for general readers.

Leslie S. Pratch

“Looks Good on Paper? details a psychologically sophisticated methodology that can determine an individual’s style of coping. It is a must-read for anyone entering the field of executive assessment and for those who wish to have a better way of determining an executive’s readiness to assume a more senior role of leadership.”

The Nature of Value

How to Invest in the Adaptive Economy Nick Gogerty A n e w, mea n in gful a p p roach to va lue in vest in g t h at draws in sights fro m eco lo gy a n d e vo lut io n a ry t heo ry.

“In the great tradition of Charlie Munger’s Worldly Wisdom, Gogerty delivers a multidisciplinary approach to finding investment value. Through brilliant graphics and a unique lens, he educates the reader on how to discern investment opportunities that go well beyond currently reported financial results to gain insights into how value shifts over time. Any investor that feels the current ‘value investing’ paradigm is lacking in its ability to navigate our increasingly complex world will benefit from the tools Gogerty offers” —Paul Johnson, Columbia University Graduate School of Business

The Nature of Value presents a theory of how economic value functions and how it drives growth, starting with tiny sparks of innovation and scaling all the way up to the full scope of the economy.

Nick Gogerty’s exploration of value borrows from a wide array of disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, physics, sociology, and ethics, but, most of all, it examines how evolution’s processes can help investors understand the economy and how investors can use this new understanding to improve their allocation decisions.

Starting with a look at how innovations can help firms succeed, Gogerty looks at the economic niches in which firms compete and explores how firms can create defensive “moats” to enhance their chances of survival. He shows allocators how to adjust their actions for best performance and returns and what to look for when assessing company management, supporting his arguments with extensive data and years of practitioner experience from scientific, social, and economic disciplines. Intuitive illustrations are used to illuminate central concepts and ideas.

Gogerty’s practical takeaways, couched in vivid explanations, will help investors of all backgrounds gain fresh insight into market mechanics.

A Lever Long Enough

A History of Columbia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science Since 1864 Robert McCaughey the r ise of one A m e r i c a’ s pr e m ie r pr o fessi o n al sc h ool s and i ts r e fle c t i o n o f la r ge r t r e n ds in Am e r i c an h igh e r e d u c at i o n .

In this comprehensive social history of Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), Robert McCaughey combines archival research with oral testimony and contemporary interviews to build both a critical and celebratory portrait of one of the oldest engineering schools in the United States.

McCaughey follows the evolving, occasionally rocky, and now integrated relationship between SEAS’s engineers and the rest of the Columbia University student body, faculty, and administration. He also revisits the interaction between the SEAS staff and the inhabitants and institutions of New York City, where the school has resided since 1864. He compares the historical struggles and achievements of the school’s engineers with their present-day battles and accomplishments, and he contrasts their teaching and research approaches to those of their peers at other free-standing and Ivy league engineering schools. What begins as a localized history of a school striving to define itself within a university known for its strengths in the humanities and the social sciences becomes a wider story of the transformation of the applied sciences into a critical component of American technology and education.

A Semite

A Memoir of Algeria Denis Guénoun Foreword by Judith Butler Translated by Ann Smock and William Smock A n acco un t o f what it was like to b e Algeria n , J e w ish, a n d Fren ch at a t ime when t hose “ i d e n t it ies” were fight in g wo rds.

Denis Guénoun’s father was an Algerian Jew who inherited French citizenship and revered the principles of the French Revolution. He taught science in a French lycée and joined the French Communist Party. He was a courageous man whose best intentions were overpowered by history. This book movingly recreates the efforts of a grown-up son to understand his childhood. Gracefully weav­ing together youthful memories with research into Guénoun’s father’s life and times, this memoir confounds the ethnic, national, and political distinctions that might otherwise explain or justify conflict.

Who belongs where? Who is one’s natural enemy?

Guénoun’s father believed Jews and Arabs were bound by an authentic fraternity and could only realize a free future together. He called himself a Semite, a word that united Jewish and Arab worlds.

“This is a complex engagement with the unique temporal, linguistic, and embodied qualities of family and cultural heritage. It is philosophically important and politically engaging, speaking to the necessities of repetition and distortion in the accuracies of memory and historical truth. It is also a delicate prose work of exceptional literary quality,

Blood

A Critique of Christianity Gil Anidjar A c r i ti c al i nv estig at i o n i n to t h e r o le a n d prese nc e of b loo d i n C h r ist i a n i t y a n d a c a ll to r e cog ni ze i ts e ffe c ts o n t h e h isto ry a n d c u lt ur e of th e m o d e r n West.

Blood, in Gil Anidjar’s argument, maps the singular history of Christianity. A category for historical analysis, blood can be seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining, sometimes even defining, Western culture, politics, and social practices and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism, capitalism, and law.

Engaging with a variety of sources, Anidjar explores the presence and the absence, the making and unmaking of blood in philosophy and medicine, law and literature, and economic and political thought from ancient Greece to medieval Spain, from the Bible to Shakespeare and Melville. The prevalence of blood in the social, juridical, and political organization of the modern West signals that we do not live in a secular age into which religion could return.

Flowing across multiple boundaries, infusing them with violent precepts that we must address, blood undoes the presumed oppositions between religion and politics, economy and theology, and kinship and race. It demonstrates that what we think of as modern is in fact imbued with Christianity. Christianity, Blood fiercely argues, must be reconsidered beyond the boundaries of religion alone.

Gil Anidjar

“This book is bound to become a standard against which future scholarship on the cultural history of Christianity and several related fields will be evaluated. It achieves the feat of offering an exhaustive genealogy of the significance of ‘blood’ in Western civilization, thereby pulling blood into an urgently needed visibility.”

Roberto Bolaño’s Fiction

An Expanding Universe Chris Andrews

Since the publication of The Savage Detectives in 2007, the work of Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003) has achieved an acclaim rarely enjoyed in contemporary fiction. Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bolaño’s work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author’s oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction.

“An Expanding Universe is an engaging, original, and thoroughly successful attempt to interpret Roberto Bolaño’s entire corpus of fiction. The questions Andrews raises about ethics and the relationship of literature to life are timely and should appeal to a range of readers.”

—Ignacio López-Vicuña, University of Vermont

Andrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bolaño’s novels, including 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bolaño’s fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bolaño’s fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bolaño emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective “fiction-making system,” a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, Roberto’s Bolano’s Fiction offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.

Guilty Knowledge, Guilty Pleasure

The Dirty Art of Poetry William Logan

The notor i ous c r i t i c d i v es d eep i n to t h e ma kings and m is un d e r sta n d i n gs o f po e t ry.

These new essays and reviews take poetry at its word, often finding in its hardest cases the greatest reasons for hope. William Logan begins with a witty polemic against the wish to have critics announce their aesthetics every time they begin a review. “The Unbearable Rightness of Criticism” is a plea to read those critics who got it wrong when they reviewed Lyrical Ballads or Leaves of Grass or The Waste Land.

Sometimes, Logan argues, such critics saw exactly what these books were—they saw the poems plain yet often did not see that they were poems. In such wrongheaded criticism, readers can recover the ground broken by such groundbreaking books.

Logan looks again at the poetry of Wallace Stevens, Frank O’Hara, and Philip Larkin and the letters of T. S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert Lowell, and at new books by Louise Glück and examines the late Seamus Heaney. Always eager to overturn settled judgments, Logan argues that World War II poets were in the end better than the much-lauded poets of World War I. He revisits the secretly revised edition of Robert Frost’s notebooks, showing that the terrible errors ruining the first edition still exist. The most remarkable essay is “Elizabeth Bishop at Summer Camp,” which prints for the first time her early adolescent verse, along with the intimate letters written to the first girl she loved.

“An archaeologist of midcentury popular culture and an extraordinary unraveler of some poets’ very raveled threads, Logan stands out for the energy of his appreciation and for the diligence in his erudition.”

Reading Style

A Life in Sentences Jenny Davidson

A n ov elist reco un ts her idiosyn crat ic a ffa ir w i t h t yp es o f writ in g a n d t he p ower o f li t e r at ure to move us a ll in differen t ways.

A professor, critic, and insatiable reader, Jenny Davidson investigates the passions that drive us to fall in love with certain sentences over others and the larger implications of our relationship with writing style. At once playful and serious, immersive and analytic, her memoir/critique shows how style elicits particular kinds of moral judgments and subjective preferences, which turn reading into a highly personal and political act.

Melding her experiences as reader and critic, Davidson opens new vistas onto works by Jane Austen, Henry James, Marcel Proust, and Thomas Pynchon; adds richer dimension to critiques of W. G. Sebald, Alan Hollinghurst, Thomas Bernhard, and Karl Ove Knausgaard; and allows for a sophisticated appreciation of popular fictions by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Lionel Shriver, George Pelecanos, and Helen DeWitt. She privileges diction, syntax, point of view, and structure over plot and character, identifying the intimate mechanics that draw us in to literature’s sensuous frameworks and move us to feel, identify, and relate. Davidson concludes with a reading list of her favorite titles so others can share in her literary adventures and get to know better the imprint of her own reading style.

“This book offers a lively, unusual, and highly intelligent set of comments on the pleasures of reading—which are in Davidson’s view not quite the joys or benefits of close reading in the received academic sense but are definitely those of reading closely, paying precise attention to details of style and reflecting on the mixture of meaning and delight that such details give to anyone who cares about them.”

Eric Hayot teaches graduate students and faculty in literary and cultural studies how to think and write like a professional scholar. From granular concerns, such as sentence structure and grammar, to bigpicture issues, such as adhering to genre patterns for successful research and publishing and developing productive and rewarding writing habits, Hayot helps ambitious students, newly minted Ph.D.’s, and established professors shape their work and develop their voices.

Hayot does more than explain the techniques of academic writing. He aims to adjust the writer’s perspective, encouraging scholars to think of themselves as makers and doers of important work.

Scholarly writing can be frustrating and exhausting yet also satisfying and crucial, and Hayot weaves these experiences, including his own trials and tribulations, into an ethos for scholars to draw on as they write. Combining psychological support with practical suggestions for composing introductions and conclusions, developing a schedule for writing, using notes and citations, and structuring paragraphs and essays, this guide to the elements of academic style does its part to rejuvenate scholarship and writing in the humanities.

Alienation

Rahel Jaeggi

Translated by Frederick Neuhouser and Alan E. Smith Edited by Frederick Neuhouser A bo ld defen se o f a n eglect ed co n cep t a n d i ts releva n ce fo r crit ica l so cia l t heo ry.

The Hegelian-Marxist idea of alienation fell out of favor during the post-metaphysical rejection of humanism and essentialist views of human nature.

In this book, Rahel Jaeggi draws on phenomenological analyses grounded in modern conceptions of agency, along with recent work in the analytical tradition, to reconceive of alienation as the absence of a meaningful relationship to oneself and others, which manifests in feelings of helplessness and the despondent acceptance of ossified social roles and expectations.

“Jaeggi’s scholarship and writing

A revived approach to alienation helps critical social theory engage with phenomena, such as meaninglessness, isolation, and indifference, that have broad implications for issues of justice. By severing alienation’s link to a problematic conception of human essence while retaining its social-philosophical content, Jaeggi provides resources for a renewed critique of social pathologies, a much-neglected concern in contemporary liberal political philosophy.

Her work revisits the arguments of Rousseau, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger, placing them in dialogue with Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams, and Charles Taylor.

in this book are excellent, and the resuscitation of the concept of alienation in critical social theory is a welcome event in the literature.”

—Matthias Fritsch, Concordia University

“One of the most exciting books to have appeared on the German philosophical scene in the last decade. It not only rejuvenates a lagging discourse on the topic of alienation; it also shows how an account of subjectivity

be employed in the service of new philosophical insights.”

Atheists in America

Melanie E. Brewster, Editor

An i nti m ate p syc h o lo gic a l st u dy o f a lar gely i nv isi b l e m i n o r i t y n av igat i n g lif e i n a r e l igi ous wo r ld.

This collection features more than two dozen narratives by atheists hailing from different backgrounds across the United States. Ranging in age, race, sexual orientation, and firmness in their irreligiosity, these individuals address religious deconversion, community building, parenting, and romantic relationships, providing a nuanced look at living without God in a predominantly Christian nation.

These narratives illuminate the complexities and consequences for nonbelievers in the United States.

Stepping away from religious belief can have serious social and existential ramifications, forcing atheists to discover new ways to live meaningfully without the guidance of a religious community. Yet shedding the constraints of a formal belief system can also be a freeing experience. Ultimately, this volume shows that claiming an atheist identity is anything but an act isolated from the other dimensions of the self.

Upending common social, political, and psychological assumptions about atheists, this collection helps carve out a more accepted space for this minority to live within American society.

Derrida / Searle

Deconstruction and Ordinary Language Raoul Moati Translated by Timothy Attanucci and Maureen Chun Foreword by Jean-Michel Rabaté Re v isit in g t he schis m t hat ren dered t wen t iet hc e n t ury p hiloso p hy in to irreco n cila b le co n t in en ta l a n d a n a lyt ic ca mp s.

“The fact that the debate between Derrida and Searle never took place (considering Derrida and Searle never met personally and the latter also refused to reprint one of his responses in an edited collection), as well as the fact that there are so few books on this subject, makes Moati’s book particularly useful to reconstruct the history of this famous dispute.”

—Santiago Zabala, University of Barcelona

In the 1950s, the British philosopher J. L. Austin advanced a theory of speech acts, or the “performative,” that Jacques Derrida and John R. Searle interpreted in fundamentally different ways. Their disagreement centered on the issue of intentionality, which Derrida understood phenomenologically and Searle read pragmatically. The controversy had profound implications for the development of contemporary philosophy, which, Raoul Moati argues, can profit greatly by returning to this debate.

In this book, Moati systematically replays the historical encounter among Austin, Derrida, and Searle and the disruption that caused the lasting break between Anglo-American language philosophy and continental traditions of phenomenology and its deconstruction. The key issue, Moati argues, is not whether “intentionality,” a concept derived from Husserl’s phenomenology, can or cannot be linked to Austin’s speech-acts as defined in his groundbreaking How to Do Things with Words, but rather the emphasis Searle placed on the performativity and determined pragmatic values of Austin’s speech-acts, whereas Derrida insisted on the trace of writing behind every act of speech and the iterability of signs in different contexts.

Julia Kristeva on Philosophy and Art in Depressed Times Elaine P. Miller Using th e p h i los o ph e r ’ s vast bo dy o f wo r k to s h ow h ow art c a n ac t as a n a n t i d ot e , if n ot a c ur e , to d e pr essi o n .

While philosophy and psychoanalysis privilege language and conceptual distinctions and mistrust the image, Julia Kristeva recognizes the power of art and the imagination to unblock important sources of meaning. She also appreciates the process through which creative acts counteract and transform feelings of violence and depression.

Elaine P. Miller considers Kristeva’s “aesthetic idea” and “thought spectacular” and their capacity to reshape depressive thought. She revisits Kristeva’s reading of Walter Benjamin with reference to melancholic art and the imagination’s allegorical structure; her analysis of Byzantine iconoclasm in relation to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of negation and Hegel’s dialectical negativity; her understanding of Proust as an exemplary practitioner of sublimation; her rereading of Kant and Arendt in terms of art as an intentional lingering with foreignness; and her argument that forgiveness is a philosophical and psychoanalytic method of transcending a “stuck” existence. Focusing on specific works that illustrate Kristeva’s ideas, from ancient Greek tragedy to early photography, contemporary installation art, and film, Miller positions creative acts as a form of “spiritual inoculation” against the violence of our society and its discouragement of reflection.

Elaine P. Miller

“Deftly moving through Kristeva’s corpus, Miller brilliantly stages engagements between Kristeva’s thought and that of Adorno, Arendt, Augustine, Benjamin, Freud, Green, Hegel, Kant, Klein, Lacan, and Proust, among others. Her analysis also sheds light on some of Kristeva’s most intractable concepts, including negativity, the uncanny, time, the semiotic, mimesis, art, and the aesthetic. Head Cases is filled with keen insights, rigorous scholarship, and beautiful prose.”

Survivors of Slavery

Slavery is an injustice that continues to entrap twenty-seven million people across the globe.

Laura Murphy offers more than thirty survivor narratives from Cambodia, Ghana, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, and the United States, detailing the horrors of a system that forces people to work without pay and against their will, under the threat of violence, with little or no means of escape.

Through storytelling and firsthand testimony, this anthology shapes a twenty-first-century narrative that many believe died with the end of slavery in the Americas. Organized around such issues as the need for work, the punishment of defiance, and the move toward activism, the collection isolates the causes, mechanisms, and responses to slavery that allow the phenomenon to endure. Enhancing scholarship in women’s studies, sociology, criminology, law, social work, and literary studies, this volume establishes a common trajectory of vulnerability, enslavement, captivity, escape, and recovery, creating an invaluable resource for activists, scholars, legislators, and service providers.

“These often heart-wrenching accounts do more than reveal the tragic stories of contemporary abuse and suffering; they reveal patterns of behavior and resistance that can inform our understanding of historic slavery in the eighteenth and ninteenth centuries, on the plantations of the Americas and in households of Africa and the commercial firms of India and the Islamic world.

The Power of Tolerance A Debate

Wendy Brown and Rainer Forst Edited by Luca Di Blasi and Christoph F. E. Holzhey Two l e ad i ng th e o r ists o f to le r a n c e d e bat e t h e conc e p t’s s oc i a l a n d po li t i c a l i m po rta n ce.

We invoke the ideal of tolerance in response to conflict, but what does it mean to answer conflict with a call for tolerance? Is tolerance a way of resolving conflicts or a means of sustaining them?

Does it transform conflicts into productive tensions, or does it perpetuate underlying power relations? To what extent does tolerance hide its involvement with power and act as a form of depoliticization?

Wendy Brown and Rainer Forst debate the uses and misuses of tolerance, an exchange that highlights the fundamental differences in their critical practice despite a number of political similarities. Both scholars address the normative premises, limits, and political implications of various conceptions of tolerance. Brown offers a genealogical critique of contemporary discourses on tolerance in Western liberal societies, focusing on their inherent ties to colonialism and imperialism, and Forst reconstructs an intellectual history of tolerance that attempts to redeem its political virtue in democratic societies.

Brown and Forst work from different perspectives and traditions, yet each remains wary of the subjection and abnegation embodied in toleration discourses, among other issues. The result is a dialogue rich in critical and conceptual reflections on power, justice, discourse, rationality, and identity.

Wendy Brown

“Brown and Forst are the authors of two of the most important books on tolerance to be published in the last decade. This book not only offers an overview of their positions but also puts these two authors into a surprisingly productive dialogue.

The Power of Tolerance is a rich and compelling exchange between two of the best political theorists working today.”

Foundations of the Earth

Global Ecological Change and the Book of Job H. H. Shugart A w i de- ra n gin g st udy o f Ea rt h’ s i n t e r co n n ect ed syst ems, t heir dyn a mic cha n ge, a n d t heir co mp lex in t eract io n s wit h huma n it y.

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?” God asks Job in the “Whirlwind Speech,” but Job cannot reply. This passage—which some environmentalists and scholars treat as a “green” creation myth—drives H. H. Shugart’s extraordinary investigation, in which he uses verses from God’s speech to explore the planetary system, animal domestication, sea-level rise, evolution, biodiversity, weather phenomena, and climate change.

Shugart calls attention to the rich resonance between the Earth’s natural history and the workings of religious feeling, the wisdom of Bible scripture, and the arguments of Bible ethicists. The divine questions that frame his study are quintessentially religious, and the global changes humans have wrought on the Earth operate in not only the physical, chemical, and biological spheres but also the spiritual realm. Shugart offers a universal framework for recognizing and confronting the global challenges humans now face: the relationship between human technology and large-scale environmental degradation; the effect of invasive species on the integrity of ecosystems; the role of humans in generating wide biotic extinctions; and the future functioning of our oceans and tides.

“Foundations of the Earth serves as a primer to our planet’s natural and anthropological history prompted by questions raised in the book of Job. With his ingenious use of Job, Shugart effectively bridges ancient issues and modern ones.”

Shadow Medicine

The Placebo in Conventional and Alternative Therapies John S. Haller Jr. Ca n e v i d e nc e - b ase d m e d i c i n e a n d com p l e m e ntary an d a lt e r n at i v e m e d i c i n e find com m on g r ou n d?

John S. Haller Jr. explores the epistemological foundations of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and the challenges they present for both conventional and alternative therapies. In his exploration, Haller maintains a healthy, scientific skepticism yet finds promise in some complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies. The placebo forms the central focus of the book, as Haller elucidates how recent research might lead to a more robust medical practice including both the objectivity of evidence-based medicine and the subjectivity and narrative truth of the physician-patient relationship.

The book offers a thoughtful tour of how and why the double blinded, randomized clinical trial (RCT) came to be called the “gold standard” in modern medicine; the challenge of postmodern medicine that countered the positivism of evidence-based medicine; the politics of modern CAM and the rise of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine; an in-depth case study of homeopathy explaining why this modality has emerged as a poster child for CAM; and an assessment of CAM’s popularity despite its poor performance in clinical trials. Haller ends with how new experimental protocols might tease out the evidentiary basis for the placebo effect.

John S. Haller Jr.

“Haller addresses the epistemological foundations of both biomedicine and complementary and alternative medicine and provides incisive analysis of each that sheds light on why tensions between them are so prevalent. By exploring their differences within a historical context, Haller has made a significant contribution to the understanding of a contemporary medical field.”

Life and Loss at the Edge of Extinction Thom van Dooren A n i nt imat e en co un t er wit h en da n gered bi r d sp ecies a n d t he et hica l dimen si o n s o f bi o d iversi t y loss .

Thom van Dooren puts philosophy into conversation with the natural sciences and his own ethnographic encounters to vivify the cultural and ethical significance of modern-day extinctions. Flight Ways incorporates the particularities of real animals and their worlds, drawing philosophers, natural scientists, and general readers into the experience of living among and losing biodiversity.

Chapters focus on North Pacific albatrosses, Indian vultures, an endangered colony of penguins in Australia, Hawaiian crows, and the iconic whooping cranes of North America. They take stock of the ramifications rippling out to implicate a number of human and more-than-human others when a life form disappears from the world. The book explores what life is like for those who live on the edge of extinction, balanced between life and oblivion, taking care of their young and grieving their dead.

Accounts from scientists and local communities bolster the text. These species become fully realized characters enmeshed in complex and precarious ways of life, sparking our sense of curiosity, concern, and accountability toward others.

“I love this book. Van Dooren’s thorough, detailed, and calmly passionate scholarship adds immensely to my understanding of caring, science, and justice and conditions for recuperation that take multispecies flourishing seriously. He is a leader in learning to learn without the tools of human exceptionalism, attuned to the nuances and specificities of situated worlds, including human worlds-inrelation with other critters.”

“An excellent book that deserves wide readership.”

Conflict and Cooperation in Space James Clay Moltz A ge ne r al h istory o f i n t e r n at i o n a l s pac e relati ons and an i n si d e r pe r s pe c t i v e o n f u t ur e tr e nds .

Written for all readers, this expert analysis details the basics of space technology, diplomacy, commerce, exploration, and military applications from the mid-twentieth century to today. Space has become increasingly crowded since the end of the Cold War, and this book pays particular attention to the politics and economics of space and recent debates over national security, focusing on the competing themes of international competition and cooperation and the effort to avoid dangerous conflicts.

Unfortunately, the growth of human space activity and challenges to existing international tools of management, such as rules, laws, and treaties, have increased the likelihood of conflict over a diminishing pool of space resources close to Earth.

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in international space debates and policy, James Clay Moltz points to the logic of cooperation and collaboration among the expanding number of space actors, considering their shared challenges regarding space traffic, orbital debris, radio-spectrum crowding, space situational awareness, and space weaponization. He concludes with policy recommendations for improving international space relations, focusing on enhanced communication, data sharing, and operational cooperation.

Video Revolutions

On the History of a Medium Michael Z. Newman A st u dy o f t he Video medium’ s sta rrin g ro le i n t he p o p ula r imagin at io n .

“Looking at the distinct ways in which the term ‘video’ has been defined in relation to a number of institutions and technologies, Video Revolutions covers more than a half-century of historical material and draws upon a wide range of specialized secondary research. The result is a stimulating and satisfying intellectual tour and argument, chiefly for Newman’s ability to encompass the oftendisparate case studies within a single historical lens.”

—William Boddy, Baruch College, City University of New York

Since the days of early television, video has been an indispensable part of culture, society, and movingimage media industries. Over the decades, it has been an avant-garde artistic medium, a high-tech consumer gadget, a format for watching movies at home, a force for democracy, and the ultimate, ubiquitous means of documenting reality. In the twenty-first century, video is the name we give all kinds of moving images. We know it as an adaptable medium that bridges analog and digital, amateur and professional, broadcasting and recording, television and cinema, art and commercial culture, and old media and new digital networks.

In this history, Michael Z. Newman casts video as a medium of shifting value and legitimacy in relation to other media and technologies, particularly film and television. Video has been imagined as more or less authentic or artistic than movies or television, as more or less democratic and participatory, as more or less capable of capturing the real. Techno-utopian rhetoric has repeatedly represented video as a revolutionary medium, promising to solve the problems of the past and the present—often the very problems associated with television and the society shaped by it—and to deliver a better future. Video has also been seen more negatively, particularly as a threat to movies and their culture. This study considers video as an object of these hopes and fears and builds an approach to thinking about the concept of the medium in terms of cultural status.

Iris Barry (1895–1969) was the mother of film preservation internationally. She founded the film department at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art and became its first curator. Barry augmented MoMA’s film library until World War II, when she joined the Office of Strategic Services to develop pro-American films with Orson Welles, Walt Disney, John Huston, Samuel Goldwyn, and Frank Capra. Yet Barry’s “foreignness” and association with such filmmakers as Luis Buñuel made her the target of an anticommunist witch hunt. She eventually left for France and died in obscurity. Drawing on letters, memorabilia, and other sources, Robert Sitton reconstructs Barry’s remarkable life and work, sharing the story of a thoroughly modern muse and mentor to the most influential artists of her day.

“Barry mattered to cinema history, and this book makes her life matter as well. Sitton’s sharp biography spans her fascinating times among the literati of post-Victorian Britain to her famed U.S. career, which entailed her virtually founding the influential MoMA Film Library. This is a rich, captivating story that makes an original and significant contribution by giving us the development of a life in film that was so consequential for its serious study of the art.”

“Chock full of fascinating detail, this book tells a compelling story about a woman who built institutions and contributed to a way of thinking about film that we take for granted today. It captures the multiple and often overlapping spheres that Barry actively participated in and ultimately shaped: literary modernism, museums, journalism, cinema, archives, and governmental organizations. There is no book that weaves together the threads of her story so thoroughly.

The result is a much larger and untold history about art, film, and culture.”

Must We Kill the Thing We Love?

Emersonian Perfectionism and the Films of Alfred Hitchcock William Rothman

A n e w view o f t he mast er’ s o euvre, fo cusi n g o n h is a mb iva len ce towa rd t he Emerso n ia n way o f t hin ki n g he lo n ged to emb race b ut resist ed fo r the sa ke o f his a rt.

William Rothman argues that the driving force behind Hitchcock’s work was his struggle to reconcile the dark vision of his favorite Oscar Wilde quote, “Each man kills the thing he loves,” with the quintessentially American philosophy, articulated in Emerson’s writings, that gave classical Hollywood movies of the New Deal era their extraordinary combination of popularity and artistic seriousness.

A Hitchcock thriller could be a comedy of remarriage or a melodrama of an unknown woman, both Emersonian genres, except for the murderous villain and godlike author, Hitchcock, who pulls the villain’s strings—and ours. Because Hitchcock believed that the camera has a murderous aspect, the question “What, if anything, justifies killing?,” which every Hitchcock film engages, was for him a disturbing question about his own art. Tracing the trajectory of Hitchcock’s career, Rothman discerns a progression in the films’ meditations on murder and artistic creation. This progression culminates in Marnie (1964), Hitchcock’s most controversial film, in which Hitchcock overcame his ambivalence and fully embraced the Emersonian worldview he had always also resisted.

“In his seminal book, The Murderous Gaze, Rothman emerged as a central voice in the study of Hitchcock with his probing and fine grained analysis of the filmmaker’s style and deep interpretations of his work. This new project builds on the critical premises of this earlier work yet modifies its predominantly ironic view of Hitchcock. Here Rothman argues with critical verve that Hitchcock’s films also contain a redemptive vision of the perfectibility of human nature.”

Tunisian cinema is described as a model of equipoise between “East” and “West” and the defender of a fierce, sovereign style. Even during the repressive regime of 1987 to 2011, a generation of filmmakers produced allegories of resistance that defied their society’s increasingly illiberal trends.

In New Tunisian Cinema, Robert Lang reads nine critical modern Tunisian films, many by some of the nation’s best-known directors, including Man of Ashes (1986), Bezness (1992), and Making Of (2006) by Nouri Bouzid; Halfaouine (1990) by Férid Boughedir; The Silences of the Palace (1994) by Moufida Tlatli; Essaïda (1997) by Mohamed Zran; Bedwin Hacker (2002) by Nadia El Fani; and The TV Is Coming (2006) by Moncef Dhouib. He explores the political economy and social, historical, and psychoanalytic dimensions of these works and the strategies filmmakers deployed to preserve cinema’s ability to shape debates about national identity.

These debates not only helped initiate the 2011 uprising but also did much to inform and articulate the social, political, and cultural aspirations of the Tunisian people in the new millennium.

“Lang’s impressive study is a valuable and timely achievement. Through subtle and rich close readings of eight films released between 1986 and 2006, he examines how contemporary Tunisian filmmakers resisted authoritarianism in both the public and private spheres of their society and successfully forged a national cinema that sought to keep in sight the secular and modern vision of their country’s founding

Moved by the Past

Discontinuity and Historical Mutation Eelco Runia A pr omin en t Dutch histo ria n up se ts o ur lin ea r co n cep t io n o f t ime a n d even t a n d in t ro duces a n e w way to en visi o n histo ry.

Historians seek to explain why such events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, and the introduction of the euro logically develop from what came before. Eelco Runia radically breaks with this tradition, incites us to fully acknowledge the discontinuous nature of discontinuities, and proposes to use the fact that history is propelled by unforeseeable leaps as a starting point for a truly evolutionary conception of history.

“Runia is one of the only scholars I know who is developing a sub­ stantive philosophy of history and doing so in terms that are accessible to academic readers regardless of discipline. His main ideas about presence, metonymy, discontinuity, and adaptation through radical niche construction deserve a wide readership.”

—Michael S. Roth, author of Memory, Trauma, and History: Essays on Living with the Past

Runia identifies two modes of being “moved by the past”: regressive and revolutionary. In the regressive mode, the past can either overwhelm us—as in nostalgia—or provoke us to act out what we believe to be solidly dead. When we are moved by the past in a revolutionary sense, we embody history: we burn our bridges behind us and create accomplished facts we have no choice but to live up to. Runia believes human beings energize their own evolution by habitually creating situations (“catastrophes” or sublime historical events) that put a premium on mutations. In this simple yet radical view, Runia reorients how we think and theorize about history.

“Runia’s ability to convey complex ideas about the theory of history in elegant, exciting, and often surprising prose is virtually unmatched, and I have the highest regard for him as a writer, as an original thinker, and as a scholar.”

—Ethan Kleinberg, executive editor of History and Theory Eelco Runia

History and Popular Memory

The Power of Story in Moments of Crisis Paul A. Cohen A c u ltur al and p o li t i c a l st u dy o f o u r

relati ons h i p to h isto ry i n t i m es o f c r isis .

When people experience a traumatic event, such as war or the threat of annihilation, they often turn to history for stories that promise a positive outcome to their suffering. During World War II, the French took comfort in the story of Joan of Arc and her heroic efforts to rid France of foreign occupation.

To bring the Joan narrative more into line with current circumstances, popular retellings modified the original story so that what people believed took place in the past was often quite different from what actually occurred.

Paul A. Cohen believes this interplay between story and history is a worldwide phenomenon found in countries of radically different cultural, religious, and social character. He focuses on Serbia, Israel, the Soviet Union, China, Great Britain, and France, all of which experienced severe crises in the twentieth century and appropriated age-old historical narratives to serve a unifying, restorative purpose. A central theme is the distinction between popular memory and history, which is routinely blurred in people’s minds. The historian’s truth often cannot compete with the power of a compelling story from the past, even when it has been distorted by myth or political manipulation. Cohen concludes that the patterns of interaction he probes, given their near universality, may well be rooted in certain human propensities that transcend cultural difference.

From Revolutionary-era bank notes to stock and bond trading during the Civil War to the invention of modern mortgages and the 2008 financial collapse, Capital of Capital explores how New York City gave rise to a banking industry that in turn made the American and world economies. In addition to exploring the contentious evolution of the banking industry, the book examines the role of banks in making New York City an international economic center and its influence on America’s economy, politics, society, and culture.

Based on a major exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, Capital of Capital profiles the key leaders and critics of banking, such as Alexander Hamilton, the Rockefellers, and the Occupy Wall Street protesters. The book also covers the events and controversies that have shaped the history of banking and includes a fascinating array of primary materials ranging from speeches and political documents to advertisements and journalistic accounts.

Lavishly illustrated, Capital of Capital provides a multifaceted, original understanding of the profound impact of banking on the life of New York City and the world’s economy.

Jerusalem Unbound

Geography, History, and the Future of the Holy City Michael Dumper Ma king se nse of Je r u sa le m ’ s m a n y, o ft e n ove r l ap p i ng b or d e r s to be t t e r u n d e r sta n d its p ossi b l e f utur e .

The lines delineating Israeli authority in Jerusalem are frequently different from those delineating segregated housing, areas of service provision, or national electoral districts of competing educational jurisdictions. The city’s holy sites and restricted religious compounds create enclaves that continually threaten to undermine the Israeli state’s authority and control. This lack of congruity between political control and the actual spatial organization and everyday use of the city leaves many areas of occupied East Jerusalem in a kind of twilight zone where citizenship, property rights, and the enforcement of the rule of law are ambiguously applied.

Michael Dumper plots a history of Jerusalem that examines this intersecting and multileveled matrix, revealing the constraints on Israeli control and the resilience of Palestinian enclaves after forty-five years of Israeli occupation. Adding to this mix are the external religious, political, financial, and cultural influences that turn Jersualem into a crucible for broader contestation. While the Palestinians may not return to their previous preeminence in the city, neither will Israel be able to assert a total and irreversible dominance. Dumper argues the city will have to be shared according to these borders and the interplay among history, geography, and religion.

Michael Dumper

“Starting from the proposition that boundaries, whether social or political, are pervasive but porous, Dumper has written an admirable and engaging account of developments over the past decade or so that affect Jerusalem and reflects upon the impact these might have on the future of the city.”

A Daughter’s Memoir of Burma Wendy Law-Yone

With a Foreword by David I. Steinberg A n a dven t ure sto ry, a love sto ry, a n d a po li tica l memo ir se t aga in st Burma’ s t urb ulen t t w e nt iet h- cen t ury histo ry.

Wendy Law-Yone was fifteen at the time of Burma’s military coup in 1962. The daughter of Ed Law-Yone, daredevil proprietor of Rangoon Nation, Burma’s leading postwar English-language daily, she experienced firsthand the perils and promises of a newly independent Burma.

On the eve of Wendy’s studies abroad, Ed LawYone was arrested, his newspaper was shut down, and Wendy was briefly imprisoned. After his release, Ed fled to Thailand with his family, where he formed a government-in-exile and tried, unsuccessfully, to foment a revolution. Emigrating to America with his wife and children, Ed never gave up hope that Burma would adopt a new democratic government.

While he died disappointed, he left in his daughter’s care an illuminating trove of papers documenting the experiences of an eccentric, ambitious, humorous, and determined patriot, vividly recounting the realities of colonial rule, Japanese occupation, postwar reconstruction, and military dictatorship.

This book tells the twin histories of Law-Yone’s kin and country, a nation whose vicissitudes continue to intrigue the world.

“A rich portrait of a family equally rich in spirit and mind, and for those of us less familiar with the complicated history of Burma . . . the book serves as a fast-paced yet thorough crash course in Burma’s post-colonial politics.”

—Asian Review of Books

“An unexpectedly delightful memoir . . . compelling yet delicate.”

The Sarashina Diary

A Woman’s Life in Eleventh-Century Japan Sugawara no Takasue no Musume Translated, with an Introduction,

by Sonja Arntzen and Itō Moriyuki A n e w tr ans l ati on o f a Ja pa n ese d i a ry c lassic that c ap tur es th e ly r i c a l r i c h n ess o f t h e original te xt wh i le r e v e a li n g i ts s u bt le st ru c tur e and i r o n i c m e a n i n g .

A thousand years ago, a young Japanese girl embarked on a journey from the wild East Country to the capital. She began a diary she would continue for the next forty years and compile later on in life to bring prestige to her family.

Some aspects of the author’s life and text seem modern. She married late and identified more as a writer than as a wife and mother. Enthralled by romantic fiction, she wrote extensively about the disillusioning blows reality can deal to fantasy. The Sarashina Diary is a portrait of the writer as reader and a tribute to the power of reading to shape one’s expectations and aspirations. It presages the medieval era in Japan with its deep concern for Buddhist belief and practice. The narrative’s main thread follows a trajectory from youthful infatuation to the disillusionment of age and concern for the afterlife.

This translation and its introduction draw attention to the diary’s poetry and the juxtaposition of poetic passages and narrative prose, which brings metameanings into play. The translators’ commentary offers insight into the author’s family and world, as well as the fascinating textual legacy of her work.

“As the first translation to do justice to the complexity of the Sarashina nikki, Arntzen’s work offers a fresh perspective into premodern Japanese diary literature as well as an accessible yet scholarly window into Heian culture, the life of one woman, and the transformation of a life into literature.”

Time and the Other is a classic work that upended the relationship between anthropologists and their subjects and reoriented the approach literary critics, philosophers, and historians took to the study of humankind. Johannes Fabian challenges the assumption that anthropologists live in the “here and now,” that their objects live in the “there and then,” and that the “other” exists in a time not contemporary with our own.

He finds in the history of anthropology the emergence, transformation, and differentiation of a variety of uses of time that set specific parameters between power and inequality. A new postscript revisits conceptions of the “other” and attempts to produce and represent the knowledge of other(s).

Terry F. Godlove argues Kant’s theoretical philosophy, also called “the critical philosophy,” contains resources with implications extending far beyond monotheism and its beliefs. Focusing on the philosopher’s account of experience and his argument that human perception of incomplete and finite concepts can yield genuine knowledge and insight, Godlove subtly uses Kant’s “humanizing project” to reshape the discipline.

Our Broad Present

Time and Contemporary Culture Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht An i nte r nati onal ly acc la i m e d t h e o r ist e xa m i n es the conse que nc es o f o u r c h a n gin g r e lat i o n s hip to ti m e and s pac e .

Considering present-day phenomena, from the immediacy effects of literature to hypercommunication, globalization, and sports, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht notes an important shift in our relationship to history and time. Although we continue to use concepts inherited from a “historicist” viewpoint, a notion of time articulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the actual construction of time in which we live, which shapes our perceptions, experiences, and actions, is no longer historicist. We now inhabit an unnamed space in which the “closed future” and “ever-available past” (a past we have not managed to leave behind) produce an “everbroadening present of simultaneities.”

This profound change to a key dimension of our existence has complex consequences for the way in which we think about ourselves and our relation to the material world. At the same time, the ubiquity of digital media has eliminated our tactile sense of physical space, altering our perception of our world.

Gumbrecht draws on his mastery of the philosophy of language to enrich his everyday observations, traveling to Disneyland, a small town in Louisiana, and the center of Vienna to produce striking sketches of our broad presence in the world.

“A timely and crucial contribution to the ongoing debate in the humanities about the effects of globalization upon contemporary Western culture.

It unfolds a rich and colorful tapestry of the emerging cultural practices that increasingly define our social communities and individual human behavior. It is a marvelous book full of original ideas by one of the most important thinkers in the humanities today.”

Drinking History

Fifteen Turning Points in the Making of American Beverages Andrew F. Smith “Full of rewarding details, each chapter of Drinking History tells a concise, compelling tale likely to inspire further, more expansive investigations.”

—Times Literary Supplement

“Pour yourself a cup of tea, a glass of milk, or a chilled martini and be prepared to sip your way through a compelling history of what and why we drink. This scholarly and highly readable work on the 400year history of beverages in America is a must-read for every culinary historian and anyone interested in an informative and entertaining story.

Surprising facts pop up and fizz on every page.”

—Joseph M. Carlin, author of Cocktails: A Global History

A companion to Andrew F. Smith’s critically acclaimed and popular Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine, this volume recounts the individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies, and myriad events responsible for America’s diverse and complex beverage scene. Smith revisits the country’s major historical moments—colonization, the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement, Prohibition, and its repeal—and he tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. The result is an intoxicating encounter with an often overlooked aspect of American culture and global influence.

“You are what you drink, even more than what you eat, so this sweeping saga of American spirits, juices, sodas, teas, coffees, and waters is in reality an entertaining social, political, and cultural foray through American history, featuring an entertaining assortment of imbibers and teetotalers.”

Creamy and Crunchy

An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the All-American Food Jon Krampner “Enjoyable and informative.”

—New Yorker

In Creamy and Crunchy are the stories of Jif, Skippy, Peter Pan; the plight of black peanut farmers; the resurgence of natural or old-fashioned peanut butter; the reasons why Americans like peanut butter better than (almost) anyone else; the five ways that today’s product is different from the original; the role of peanut butter in fighting Third World hunger; and the salmonella outbreaks of 2007 and 2009, which threatened peanut butter’s sacred place in the American cupboard.

To a surprising extent, the story of peanut butter is the story of twentieth-century America, and Jon Krampner writes its first popular history, rich with anecdotes and facts culled from interviews, research, travels in the peanut-growing regions of the South, personal stories, and recipes.

“Comprehensive and entertaining.”

—Library Journal

“A fast-paced, entertaining, and wonderfully gossipy look at the history of everything about peanut butter, from nutrition to allergies and genetic modification— and with recipes, yet. Everyone who loves peanut butter will want to read this book.”

The Making of Lee Boyd Malvo The D.C. Sniper

Carmeta Albarus, MSW, LCSW, with forensic analysis by Jonathan H. Mack, Psy.D. “If you want a sense of the damage a broken life can create for innocent victims decades later, read this book.”

—The Atlantic

“One of the more interesting aspects of the book is its lengthy excerpts from Malvo’s writings, poetry, and artwork, which reveal an introspective youth trying to make sense of his crimes.”

—Washington Post

“Fascinating.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A good book for readers interested in criminal justice, psychology, and social work.”

—Library Journal

In 2002, a series of sniper attacks paralyzed the Washington Beltway, turning gas stations, parking lots, restaurants, and school grounds into chaotic killing fields. The perpetrators were forty-one-yearold John Allen Muhammad and his seventeen-yearold protégé, Lee Boyd Malvo. Called in to serve on Malvo’s defense team, Carmeta Albarus was instructed to uncover any information that might help mitigate the death sentence the teen faced. In this carefully documented account, Albarus details the nature of Malvo’s tragic attachment to his perceived “hero father,” his indoctrination, and his subsequent dissociation. Jonathan H. Mack analyzes the underlying processes that led to Malvo’s dissociation and turn toward serial violence.

“Illuminating, especially when Albarus describes what it was like to pierce Malvo’s shield and help wrest his psyche from Muhammad.”

Bonded Labor

Tackling the System of Slavery in South Asia Siddharth Kara “A valuable resource for policy makers, human-rights activists, legal experts, and academics, as well as for businesses with supply chains in developing countries. It deserves attention, and should inspire the eradication of the insidious crime of enslavement.”

—Asia Literary Review

Drawing on eleven years of research in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, Siddharth Kara delves into an ancient and ever-evolving mode of slavery that ensnares roughly six out of every ten slaves in the world and generates billions in profits.

In addition to providing a thorough economic, historical, and legal overview of bonded labor, Kara uncovers the brutish realities of such industries as hand-woven-carpet making, tea and rice farming, construction, brick manufacture, and frozen-shrimp production. He describes the violent enslavement of millions of impoverished men, women, and children who toil in the production of numerous products at minimal cost to the global market. He also follows supply chains directly to Western consumers, vividly connecting regional bonded labor practices to the appetites of the world.

“Beyond sobering, disturbing, yet so well and humanly written. The solutions proposed are the clearest in relegating this modern-day slavery, finally, to history.”

“Passionate . . . yet data-driven and absent of sensationalism, Kara’s spotlight on debt bondage, ‘at once the most ancient and most contemporary face of human servitude,’ warrants profound attention.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A beautifully lucid, compelling mixture of history, investigative journalism, personal testimony, and trenchant socioeconomic criticism.”

Serendipities

Language and Lunacy Umberto Eco Translated by William Weaver “Erudite, wide-ranging, and slyly humorous. . . .

The literary examples Eco employs range from Dante to Dumas, from Sterne to Spillane. His text is thought-provoking, often outright funny, and full of surprising juxtapositions.”

—The Atlantic

“Informative, instructive, and entertaining. . . . Once again we see the master of docere et delectare who can tackle linguistic and philosophical issues exploiting historical and scientific data combined with literary and fictional stories and anecdotes.”

Umberto Eco unlocks the riddles of history in an exploration of the “linguistics of the lunatic,” stories told by scholars, scientists, poets, fanatics, and ordinary people in order to make sense of the world.

In a careful unraveling of the fabulous and the false, he shows us how serendipities—unanticipated truths—often spring from mistaken ideas. Eco reveals a rich history of linguistic endeavor that sought to “heal the wound of Babel.” In closing, he considers the erroneous notion of linguistic perfection and observes that the dangers we face lie not in the rules we use to interpret other cultures but in our insistence on making these rules absolute.

“Informative, intellectually sophisticated, and

Losing Control?

Sovereignty in an Age of Globalization Saskia Sassen

What determines the flow of labor and capital in our new global information economy? Who has the capacity to coordinate this new system, to create a measure of order? And what happens to territoriality and sovereignty?

Examining the rise of private transnational legal codes and supranational institutions such as the World Trade Organization and universal human rights covenants, Saskia Sassen argues that sovereignty remains an important feature of the international system but that a profound transformation is taking place, a partial denationalizing of national territory. Two arenas stand out: the global capital market and the series of codes and institutions that have mushroomed into an international human rights regime. As Sassen shows, these two realms now have the power and legitimacy to demand accountability from national governments, though both depend upon the state to enforce their goals.

From the economic policy shifts forced by the Mexico debt crisis to the recurring battles over immigration and refugees around the world, Losing Control? presents an incisive overview of the affairs radically altering world governance in an era of globalization.

Saskia Sassen

“Sassen is particularly concerned with the transformation wrought by globalization on the national state and its basic attributes: sovereignty, exclusive territoriality, and citizenship.

She does a fine job of outlining the positive and negative aspects of this process.”

Must-read material.”

—New Scientist

“Extraordinary.”

—BioPolitical Times

“Kahn deserves credit for teasing out all the daunting complexities behind these events, including the details of genetic analysis, the perils of racial determinations, and the minutiae of patent law.”

At a ceremony announcing the first draft of the human genome in 2000, President Bill Clinton declared, “I believe one of the great truths to emerge from this triumphant expedition inside the human genome is that in genetic terms, all human beings, regardless of race, are more than 99.9 percent the same.” Yet biomedical research has focused increasingly on mapping that .1 percent of difference. This trend is exemplified by the drug BiDil, the first drug with a race-specific indication on its label. Using BiDil as a central case study, Jonathan Kahn examines the distinct politics informing the use of race in medicine and the very real health disparities caused by racism and social injustice that are now being cast as a mere function of genetic difference.

River Republic

The Fall and Rise of America’s Rivers Daniel McCool “An easy read that raises important questions about politics, money, and development along U.S. rivers while providing vibrant accounts of restoration projects all across the country.”

—H–Environment

Daniel McCool not only chronicles the history of water development agencies in America and the way in which special interests have abused rather than preserved the country’s rivers, he also narrates the second, brighter act in this ongoing story: the surging, grassroots movement to bring these rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations.

The politics of river restoration demonstrates how strong grassroots movements can challenge entrenched powers and win. Through passion and dedication, ordinary people are reclaiming the American landscape, forming a “river republic” of concerned citizens from all backgrounds and sectors of society. As McCool shows, the history, culture, and fate of America is tied to its rivers, and their restoration is a microcosm mirroring American beliefs, livelihoods, and an increasing awareness of environmental degradation.

“A broad, up-to-date, hopeful view of our nation’s rivers.”

—Kirkus Reviews Daniel McCool

Examining the interplay between political apology and apologetic history, Alexis Dudden focuses on the problematic relationship binding Japanese imperialism, South Korean state building, and American power in Asia. She examines this history through diplomatic, cultural, and social considerations in the postwar era and argues that the process of apology has created a knot from which none of these countries can escape without undoing decades of mythmaking.

Nancy Bernkopf Tucker provocatively argues that the Eisenhower administration’s hostile rhetoric and tough actions toward China obscure the president’s actual views. Behind the scenes, Eisenhower and his secretary of state pursued a more nuanced approach better suited to China’s specific challenges and the stabilization of the global community.

How could the CCP not only survive but thrive, regaining the support of many Chinese citizens, after the Tiananmen Square crackdown? Zheng Wang follows the Communist government’s ideological reeducation of the public, which portrays China as the victim of foreign imperialist bullying during “one hundred years of humiliation.” By concentrating on the telling and teaching of history, Wang illuminates the thinking of the patriots who will lead this power in the twenty-first century.

Based on the testimony of survivors, bystanders, spectators, and victim’s friends and families, Until the Fires Stopped Burning brings much-needed clarity to the conscious and unconscious meaning of 9/11 and its relationship to historical disaster, apocalyptic experience, unnatural death, and the psychological endurance of trauma. Strozier interprets and contextualizes the memories of witnesses and compares their encounter to the devastation of Hiroshima, Auschwitz, Katrina, and other events Kai Erikson has called a “new species of trouble” in the world.

This provocative study of the ideologically motivated, big-business-dominated, expansionist impulses of American philanthropy reveals the interrelations, shared mindsets, and collaborative efforts of public and private organizations in building American hegemony.

Hermeneutic Communism

A Farewell to Truth

Gianni Vattimo and

Translated by William McCuaig

From Heidegger to Marx Santiago Zabala

“A refreshing alternative to the hegemonic discourse, a breath of fresh air from the violent imposition of ‘metaphysics’ by those in power.”

—Ceasefire Magazine

Separating communism from its metaphysical foundations in an abiding faith in the immutable laws of history and an almost holy conception of the proletariat, this volume recasts Marx’s theories at a time when capitalism’s metaphysical moorings in technology, empire, and industrialization are buckling. The book adopts an antifoundationalist stance drawn from the hermeneutic thought of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Richard Rorty.

“Action-packed.”

Foreword by Robert T. Valgenti “Clearly written, rigorously yet passionately argued, A Farewell to Truth is Vattimo’s exciting philosophical manifesto for a credible political liberation.”

—Silvia Benso, Rochester Insitute of Technology

Gianni Vattimo engages with the consequences for democracy of our changing conception of politics and truth, such as a reluctance to ground politics in science, economics, and technology. Yet in Vattimo’s conception, a farewell to truth can benefit democracy, exposing the issues that underlie all objective claims. By accounting for the cultural paradigms of others, a more “truthful” society becomes possible.

“Everyone will find in this highly readable volume a stimulating incitement to further thought and animated debate.”

The Columbia Sourcebook of Mormons in the United States

Terryl L. Givens and Reid L. Neilson, Editors

“I can scarcely imagine a better collection. Teachers of Mormon studies will think of it as essential. I know of nothing that speaks to contemporary interests as well as this volume.”

—Richard Bushman, Columbia University

“The best thing we will have for the foreseeable future as a compact sourcebook for the historical study of American Mormonism from the inside. This is a judicious collection. I suspect it will affect how Mormonism gets taught in the nation’s college classrooms. Precisely as the editors aspire to do, the assemblage expands the genres, subject matter, and historical scope of primary materials gathered in one place for the scrutiny of how diverse Mormons think and live.”

—Philip L. Barlow, author of the 2013 edition of Mormons and the Bible

This anthology provides rare access to key original documents illuminating Mormon history, theology, and culture in the United States from the nineteenth century to today. Brief introductions describe the theological significance of each text and its reflection of the practices, issues, and challenges that have defined and continue to define the Mormon community. These documents balance mainstream and peripheral thought and religious experience, institutional and personal perspective, and theoretical and practical interpretation, representing pivotal moments in LDS history and correcting decades of misinformation and stereotype.

The authors of these documents, male and female, not only celebrate but speak critically and question mainline LDS teachings on sexuality, politics, gender, race, polygamy, and other issues. Selections largely focus on the Salt Lake–based LDS tradition, with a section on the post–Joseph Smith splintering and its creation of a variety of similar yet different Mormon groups. The documents are arranged chronologically within specific categories to capture both the historical and doctrinal development of Mormonism in the United States.

The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Drama J. Thomas Rimer, Mitsuya Mori, and M. Cody Poulton, Editors

This anthology is the first to survey the full range of modern Japanese drama and make available Japan’s best and most representative twentieth- and early-twenty-first-century works in one volume.

Divided into six chronological sections—“The Age of Taishō Drama,” The Tsukiji Tsukiji Little Theater and Its Aftermath,” “Wartime and Postwar Drama,” “The 1960s and Underground Theater,” “The 1980s and Beyond,” and “Popular Theater”—the collection provides an informal yet complete history of twentieth-century Japanese theater for students, scholars, instructors, and dramatists.

The collection features original and previously published translations of plays by such writers as Masamune Hakuchō (The Couple Next Door), Enchi Fumiko (Restless Night in Late Spring), Abe Kōbō (The Man Who Turned Into a Stick), Morimoto Kaoru (A Woman’s Life), Kara Jūrō (Two Women), Terayama Shūji (Poison Boy), Noda Hideki (Poems for Sale), and Mishima Yukio (The Sardine Seller’s Net of Love). Leading translators include Donald Keene, J. Thomas Rimer, Mitsuyra Mori, M. Cody Poulton, John Gillespie, Mari Boyd, and Brian Powell. Each section features an introduction to the period, notes on the plays’ productions, and photographs of their stage performances. The volume complements any course on modern Japanese literature and any study of modern drama in China, Korea, or other Asian or contemporary Western nation.

The Columbia Sourcebook of Literary Taiwan

Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang, Michelle Yeh,

and Ming-ju Fan, Editors

This sourcebook contains more than 160 documents and writings that reflect the development of Taiwanese literature from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Selections include seminal essays in literary debates, polemics, and other landmark events; interviews, diaries, and letters by major authors; critical and retrospective essays by influential writers, editors, and scholars; transcripts of historical speeches and conferences; literarysociety manifestos and inaugural journal prefaces; and governmental policy pronouncements that have significantly influenced Taiwanese literature.

“This book is a tour de force, bringing together many of the most important documents relating to the history of Taiwan literary criticism and many firsthand reflections on writing and the literary scene from leading writers, playwrights, and poets. Translating an impressive array of critical writings on literature into English for the first time, there is no other volume quite like this, certainly not in English, and perhaps not even in Chinese.”

—Michael Berry, author of A History of Pain: Trauma in Modern Chinese Literature and Film

These texts illuminate Asia’s experience with modernization, colonialism, and postcolonialism; the character of Taiwan’s Cold War and post–Cold War cultural production; gender and environmental issues; indigenous movements; and the changes and challenges of the digital revolution. Taiwan’s complex history with Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese colonization; strategic geopolitical position vis-à-vis China, Japan, and the United States; and status as a hub for the East-bound circulation of technological and popular-culture trends make the nation an excellent case study for a richer understanding of East Asian and modern global relations.

Historical Atlas of Northeast Asia, 1590–2010 Korea, Manchuria, Mongolia, Eastern Siberia Li Narangoa and Robert Cribb

Four hundred years ago, indigenous peoples occupied the region that today encompasses Korea, Manchuria, the Mongolian Plateau, and Eastern Siberia. These populations struggled as Russia, China, and Japan sought hegemony over the region.

Especially from the turn of the twentieth century onward, indigenous peoples pursued self-determination in various ways, and new states rose and fell as great-power imperialism, indigenous nationalism, and modern ideologies fought for dominance.

This atlas tracks the political configuration of Northeast Asia in ten-year segments from 1590 to 1890, in five-year segments from 1890 to 1960, and in ten-year segments from 1960 to 2010. The text follows the fortunes of the Qing dynasty in China; the Russian colonization of Siberia; the growth of Japanese influence; the movements of peoples, armies, and borders; and political, social, and economic developments. Compiled from detailed research in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Dutch, German, Mongolian, and Russian sources, the atlas incorporates information made public with the fall of the Soviet Union and includes fifty-five specially drawn maps, as well as twenty historical maps contrasting local and outsider perpectives.

Four introductory maps survey the region’s diverse topography, climate, vegetation, and ethnicity.

Li Narangoa

Ibn Sina’s Remarks and Admonitions: Physics and Metaphysics

An Analysis and Annotated Translation Shams Inati “This is an important text by one of the leading writers on Islamic philosophy, and this is the first English translation of high quality. It will certainly be heavily used by those in the discipline.”

—Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky

Al-Ishārāt wat-Tanbīhāt (Remarks and Admonitions) is one of the most comprehensive philosophical works of Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980–1037). Grounded in an exploration of logic and happiness, the text illuminates the divine, the human being, and the nature of things. The sections Physics and Metaphysics deal with bodies and souls as well as existence, creation, and knowledge. This book provides the first annotated English translation of Physics and Metaphysics, beginning with a detailed analysis of the text and concluding with a discussion of providence, good, and evil.

Shams Inati

ogy at Villanova University. Her work can be found at

Foreign-backed funding for education does not always stabilize a country and enhance its state-building efforts. Dana Burde shows how aid to education in Afghanistan bolstered conflict in the 1980s through violence-infused, anti-Soviet curricula and in the 2000s through misguided stabilization programs. She also reveals how dominant humanitarian models determining what counts as appropriate aid have limited attention and resources toward education.

Burde argues we must expand access to quality community-based education and support programs in Afghanistan that increase girls’ and boys’ attendance at school. Referring to a recent U.S. effort that has produced strong results, Burde commends the program’s efficient administration and neutral curriculum, which can reduce conflict and build peace in lasting ways. Sourcing research on humanitarian education work amid conflict zones around the world and incorporating insights gleaned from eight years of fieldwork in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Burde thoroughly recalculates and fundamentally improves a popular formula for peace.

The Arab Uprisings Explained

New Contentious Politics in the Middle East Marc Lynch, Editor

Why did Tunisian protests following the selfimmolation of Mohammed Bouazizi lead to a massive wave of uprisings across the entire Arab world? Who participated in those protests, and what did they hope to achieve? Why did some leaders fall in the face of popular mobilization while others found ways to survive? And what have been the lasting results? The Arab uprisings pose stark challenges to the political science of the Middle East, which for decades had focused upon the resilience of entrenched authoritarianism, the relative weakness of civil society, and what seemed to be the largely contained diffusion of new norms and ideas through new information technologies.

In this volume, leading scholars take a sharp look at the causes, dynamics, and effects of the Arab uprisings. Compiled by one of the foremost experts on Middle East politics and society, The Arab Uprisings Explained offers a fresh rethinking of established theories and presents a new framework through which scholars and general readers can better grasp the fast-developing events remaking the region. These essays not only advance the study of political science in the Middle East but also integrate the subject seamlessly into the wider political science literature. Deeply committed to the study of this region and working out the kinks of the discipline, the contributors help scholars and policy makers across the world effectively approach this unprecedented historical period.

—Adrian Johnston, University of New Mexico

Tracy McNulty reconsiders contemporary political, legal, and social theory from a psychoanalytic perspective, arguing for the enabling function of formal and symbolic constraints in sustaining desire as a source of creativity, innovation, and social change.

McNulty begins by calling for a richer understanding of the psychoanalytic concept of the symbolic and the resources it offers for an examination of the social link and the political sphere. She analyzes examples of “experimental” articulations of the symbolic and their creative use of formal limits and constraints not as mere prohibitions or rules but as “enabling constraints” that favor the exercise of freedom. She concludes with the relationship between will and constraint in Kant’s aesthetic philosophy and the experimental works of the collective Oulipo.

“This is a very exciting book, stunningly intelligent and beautifully written. It engages with theoretical arguments in a way that is always rigorous and wonderfully lucid and accessible.”

thematic but better: what is couched in contradiction.

A strong contribution to a practical theoretical and historical appreciation of aesthetics and politics.”

—Tom Conley, Harvard University

Gabriel Rockhill rethinks the relationship between art and politics. Rather than understanding the two spheres as separated by an insurmountable divide or linked by a privileged bridge, Rockhill demonstrates that art and politics are not fixed entities with a singular relation but rather dynamically negotiated, sociohistorical practices with shifting and imprecise borders.

Rockhill proposes a significant departure from extant debates on what is commonly called “art” and “politics,” and the result is an impressive foray into the force field of history, in which cultural practices are meticulously analyzed in their social and temporal dynamism without assuming a conceptual unity behind them. Rockhill therefore develops an alternative logic of history and historical change, as well as a novel account of social practices and a multidimensional theory of agency.

Mad Mothers, Bad Mothers, and What a “Good” Mother Would Do The Ethics of Ambivalence

Sarah LaChance Adams “An insightful crafting of an existentially informed ethic of care that will be a serious and influential contribution to feminist thought in a variety of disciplines and on a variety of topics.”

—Sheila Lintott, Bucknell University

Applying care-ethics philosophy and the work of Levinas, Merleau-Ponty, and de Beauvoir to real-world motherhood experiences, Sarah LaChance Adams draws a nuanced portrait of the mother and child relationship. The maternal example is particularly instructive for ethical theory, highlighting the dynamics of human interdependence while also affirming separate interests. She focuses on maternal ambivalence and its productive role in reinforcing the divergence between oneself and others, recognizing the particularities of situation, and negotiating between one’s needs and the desires of others. She ultimately argues maternal filicide is a social problem requiring a collective solution that ethical philosophy and philosophies of care can inform.

Chiara Bottici locates the imaginal’s root meaning in the image and its ability to both characterize a public and establish a set of activities within that public. She identifies the imaginal’s critical role in powering representative democracies and its amplification through globalization. She then addresses the troublesome increase in images now mediating politics and the transformation of politics into empty spectacle.

coherent thesis on the evolution of the use of images and the emergence of visualization practices.”

—Charles D. Orzech, Glasgow University

Koichi Shinohara traces the evolution of Esoteric Buddhist rituals from the simple recitation of spells in the fifth century to complex systems involving image worship, man.d. ala initiation, and visualization practices in the ninth century. He presents an important new reading of a seventhcentury Chinese text called the Collected Dhāran.ī Sūtras, which shows how earlier rituals for specific deities were synthesized into a general Esoteric initiation ceremony and how, for the first time, the notion of an Esoteric Buddhist pantheon emerged.

The study examines translations of dhāran.ī sutras made by Bodhiruci in the early eighth century and later Esoteric texts, such as Yixing’s commentary on the Mahāvairocana sutra and Amoghavajra’s ritual manuals.

It clarifies the complex relationship between images and ritual and changes how we perceive Esoteric Buddhist art and ritual.

Koichi Shinohara

teaches in the Department of

Religious Studies at Yale University and is the coauthor of Speaking of Monks: Religious Biography in India and China.

This is the first book to examine the role of gender and sexuality in the turn to the apostle Paul in recent Continental philosophy. It builds a constructive proposal for embodied Christian theological anthropology in conversation with—and in contrast to—the “Paulinisms” of Stanislas Breton, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Žižek.

Paul’s letters bequeathed a crucial anthropological aporia to Christian thought: the apostle sought to situate embodied human beings typologically with reference to Adam and Christ but failed to work out the place of sexual difference within this classification. As a result, the space between Adam and Christ has functioned as a conceptual and temporal interval in which Christian anthropology poses and re-poses theological dilemmas of embodied difference. This study follows the ways in which the appropriations of Paul by Breton, Badiou, and Žižek have either sidestepped or collapsed this interval, a crucial component in their articulations of a universal Pauline subject.

Religion and Ecology

Developing a Planetary Ethic Whitney A. Bauman “A very impressive book, a visionary synthesis of the most important issues concerning the intersection of science, religion, politics, and philosophy. Bauman weaves a complex and powerful narrative in his constitution of a planetary community. A unique contribution to a growing body of work that critically rethinks our ideas of nature to vitalize the possibilities of material and ecological thinking.”

—Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas

Whitney A. Bauman builds a planetary politics that better responds to the realities of a pluralistic world. Calling attention to the historical, political, and ecological influences shaping our understanding of nature, religion, humanity, and identity, he collapses the boundaries separating male from female, biology from machine, human from more than human, and religion from science, encouraging readers to embrace hybridity and the inherent fluctuations of an open, evolving global community.

As he outlines his planetary ethic, Bauman draws on cutting-edge insights in queer, poststructural, and deconstructive theory and develops an environmental ethic of movement rooted in the daily connections we make across the planet.

—Carla Billitteri, University of Maine

Spanning the history of literature, art, and architecture—from John Ruskin, Henry James, and Ezra Pound to Manfredo Tafuri, Italo Calvino, Jeanette Winterson, and Robert Coover—Killing the Moonlight tracks the pressures that modernity has placed on the legacy of romantic Venice and the strains of aesthetic invention that resulted from the clash. Whether seduced or repulsed by literary clichés of Venetian decadence, post-romantic artists found a motive for innovation in Venice. The anachronistic urban fabric and vestigial sentiment that both the nation-state of Italy and the historical avant-garde would cast off become incompletely assimilated parts of the new.

This study brings Venice into the geography of modernity as a living city and presents the archipelago as a crucible for those seeking to define and transgress the conceptual limits of modernism. It charts an elusive “extraterritorial” modernism that compels us to redraft the confines of modernist culture in both geographical and historical terms.

“Ecosickness fiction” rethinks the link between ecological and bodily endangerment and uses affect and the sick body to bring readers to environmental consciousness. Tracing the development of ecosickness through modern U.S. novels and memoirs, this study demonstrates the mode’s crucial role in shaping thematic content and formal and affective literary strategies.

Examining works by David Foster Wallace, Richard Powers, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marge Piercy, Jan Zita Grover, and David Wojnarowicz, Heather Houser shows how these authors unite experiences of environmental and somatic damage through narrative affects that draw attention to ecological phenomena, organize perception, and convert knowledge into ethics. Traversing contemporary cultural studies, ecocriticism, affect studies, and literature and medicine, Houser juxtaposes ecosickness fiction against new forms of environmentalism and technoscientific innovations, such as regenerative medicine and alternative ecosystems.

She recasts recent narrative as a laboratory in which affective and perceptual changes support and challenge political projects.

literature as a political and aesthetic movement.”

Julie A. Turnock tracks the use and evolution of special effects in 1970s filmmaking, a development as revolutionary to film as the transition to sound in the 1920s. Beginning with the classical studio era’s early approaches to special effects, she follows the industry’s slow build toward the significant advances of the late 1960s and early 1970s, which set the stage for the groundbreaking achievements of 1977.

Turnock analyzes the far-reaching impact of the convincing, absorbing, and seemingly unlimited fantasy environments of that year’s iconic films, dedicating a section to the innovations of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. She then traces these films’ technological, cultural, and aesthetic influence into the 1980s. She concludes with special effects practices in the 2000s and their implications for the future of filmmaking and the production and experience of other visual media.

Plastic Reality

Writing Resistance is the first close study of contemporary Hindi-language Dalit (low caste) literature in India. Laura R. Brueck’s approach goes beyond recognizing and celebrating the subaltern speaking, emphasizing the sociopolitical perspectives and literary strategies of a range of contemporary Dalit writers working in Hindi.

Brueck explores what makes Dalit literature Dalit, what makes it good, why the genre is important, and where it opposes or intersects with other bodies of Indian literature.

She underscores the significance of the Dalit literary sphere as a “counterpublic” generating contemporary Dalit social and political identities and performs close readings of contemporary Hindi Dalit literary prose narratives, focusing on the aesthetic and stylistic strategies deployed by writers whose class, gender, and geographic backgrounds shape their distinct voices.

The first edition of this pragmatic course text emphasized the policy value of a “big picture” approach to the ethical, political, technological and scientific, economic, and management aspects of environmental issues. The text then applied this approach to real-world case examples involving leaking underground storage tanks, toxic waste cleanup, and global climate change.

This second edition demonstrates the ongoing effectiveness of this framework to meaningful action and policy solutions.

The text adds case examples concerning congestion taxes, e-waste, hydrofracking, and recent global climate change and updates references and other materials throughout, incorporating the political and policy changes of the Obama administration’s first term and developments in national and global environmental issues.

understanding of the chronology and iconography of the ‘tree’ as both an iconic metaphor and a conceptual device in the history of biology.”

—Kevin Padian, University of California, Berkeley

Leading paleontologist David Archibald explores the rich history of visual metaphors for biological order from ancient times to the present and their influence on human beings’ perception of their place in nature.

Specifically, he focuses on ladders and trees and the first appearance of trees to represent seasonal life cycles. The late eighteenth century saw the tree reappropriated to visualize relationships in the natural world, sometimes with a creationist view but in some instances suggesting evolution.

Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (1859) sparked an explosion of trees, mostly in Europe. Although Darwin’s influence waned in the early twentieth century, by midcentury his ideas fueled an even greater explosion of tree building, generated by the development of new theories on how to assemble trees, the birth of powerful computing, and the emergence of molecular technology.

Enigmas of Health and Disease How Epidemiology Helps Unravel Scientific Mysteries Alfredo Morabia

This book is an engaging account of epidemiology’s role in the development of effective measures to identify, prevent, and treat diseases. Throughout history, epidemiologists have challenged conventional knowledge, solving mysteries of causality and paving the way for remedies. From the outbreak of the bubonic plague and cholera to the nature of cancer to the search for an effective treatment of AIDS and the origins of Alzheimer’s disease, epidemiological thought has been crucial in shaping our understanding of population health issues.

Alfredo Morabia’s lucid retelling sheds new light on the historical triumphs of epidemiological research and allows for contemporary readers, patients, and nontechnical audiences to make sense of the immense amount of health information disseminated by the media. By drawing from both historical and contemporary sources, Morabia provides the reader with the tools to differentiate health beliefs from health knowledge. The book covers important topics, including the H1N1 swine flu, breast cancer, the effects of aspirin, and the link between cigarettes and lung cancer. Enigmas of Health and Disease is a concise narrative that will help patients and health providers develop a more informed relationship.

Alfredo Morabia

is a professor of epidemiology at the Mailman

School of Public Health, Columbia University, and at Queens College,

“In addition to being a practicing epidemiologist, Morabia is an accomplished historian of epidemiology and a gifted teacher.

These qualities give him an unusual vantage point for introducing epidemiology to a general audience through this inspired book. By eschewing technical terminology and focusing instead on what he argues is the essence of the discipline—‘group comparisons’—Morabia conveys, in an informative and readable way,

—Erica Fox Brindley, Pennsylvania State University

This condensed anthology of plays from 1919 to 1990 reproduces close to a dozen works from Xiaomei Chen’s well-received original collection, along with her critical introduction to the historical, cultural, and aesthetic evolution of twentieth-century Chinese spoken drama. The collection encapsulates the revolutionary rethinking of Chinese theater and performance that began in the late Qing dynasty and vividly portrays the anxiety brought on by modernism, socialism, political conflict, and war and the genesis of contemporary attitudes toward the West.

In these original essays, international scholars of philosophy and Asian, gender, and religious studies put Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism into conversation with one or more contemporary feminist philosophies. Revisiting free will, consciousness, knowledge, objectivity, sexual difference, embodiment, selfhood, the state, morality, and hermeneutics, they establish a new mode of inquiry that attends to diverse voices and complex global relationships.

DMZ Crossing

Performing Emotional Citizenship Along the Korean Border Suk-Young Kim “DMZ Crossing will have a profound impact not only on the ways in which we approach the historical significance of the DMZ, the multilayered meanings produced by acts of border crossing, and the issue of national division in Korea, but also on our understanding of border crossing as sociocultural performance and its relation to the idea of affective and statist citizenship globally.”

—Theodore Hughes, Columbia University

DMZ Crossing focuses on a diverse selection of inter-Korean border crossers and the citizenship they acquire based on emotional affiliation rather than constitutional delineation. Drawing on North Korean documentary films, museum exhibitions, theater productions, protester perspectives, and interviews with South Korean officials and activists, the book recasts the history of Korean division and draws a more nuanced portrait of the region’s Cold War legacies.

Suk-Young Kim

Once known as “Pariahs,” Dalits are primarily descendants of unfree agrarian laborers.

They belong to India’s lowest castes, face overwhelming poverty and discrimination, and continue to be a source of public anxiety.

Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, this book follows the conception and evolution of the “Pariah problem” in public consciousness in the 1890s. It shows how high-caste landlords, state officials, and well-intentioned missionaries conceived of Dalit oppression and prevented substantive solutions to the “Pariah Problem”—with consequences that continue to be felt today. Methodologically, theoretically, and empirically, this book breaks new ground to demonstrate how events in the early decades of state-sponsored welfare directed at Dalits laid the groundwork for today, where the postcolonial state and well-meaning social and religious reformers continue to downplay Dalits’ landlessness, violent suppression, and political subordination.

What’s more, the editors do a marvellous job providing ample historical sources for the plays. These rich and detailed annotations make it especially useful for teaching purposes and for general readers.”

—Shuen-fu Lin, University of Michigan

This anthology features translations of ten seminal plays written during the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368), a period considered the golden age of Chinese theater. By turns lyrical and earthy, sentimental and ironic, Yuan drama combines sung arias with declaimed verses and doggerels, dialogues and mime, and jokes and acrobatic feats. A general introduction contextualizes the selections.

The Columbia Anthology of Japanese Essays Zuihitsu from the Tenth to the Twenty-First Century Steven D. Carter, Editor and Translator

A court lady of the Heian era, an early modern philologist, a Meiji-period novelist, and a physicist at Tokyo University: they all wrote zuihitsu—a uniquely Japanese literary genre encompassing features of the nonfiction or personal essay and miscellaneous musings. For sheer range of subject matter and perspective, the zuihitsu is unrivaled in the Japanese literary tradition. Springing from a variety of social, artistic, political, and professional discourses, it is an important literary form that reveals much about its authors and their world. This anthology presents more than one hundred zuihitsu by close to fifty authors, including Matsuo Bashō, Natsume Sōseki, and Kōda Aya, as well as Tachibana Nankei and Dekune Tatsurō, whose works appear here for the first time in English.

Racial Disproportionality in Child Welfare

“In a pathbreaking analysis, Bell shows again

how black Americans have been this society’s most important driving force for social justice.

Accenting the National Association of Black Social Workers, a key player in the understudied Black Power movement, Bell demonstrates that movement’s brilliant antiracist strategies and transforming impacts in separate black organizations and within historically white organizations.”

—Joe R. Feagin, Texas A&M University

The Black Power movement has often been portrayed as the quintessential “bad boy” of black movement making in America. Yet this image misses the full extent of Black Power’s contributions to U.S. society.

Relying on extensive archival research and oral history interviews, this study follows two groups of black social workers in the 1960s and 1970s as they mobilized Black Power ideas, strategies, and tactics to change their national professional associations.

Comparing black dissenters within the National Federation of Settlements (NFS), who fought for concessions from within their organization, and those within the National Conference on Social Work (NCSW), who ultimately adopted a separatist strategy, this book provides a nuanced approach to studying race-based movements and offers a framework for understanding the role of social movements in shaping the nonstate organizations of civil society.

African American children comprise 15 percent of children in the United States, yet they account for 37 percent of the total children placed in foster care. The numbers are also high for Native American and Latino children. Children of color are removed from parental custody and placed in care more often than their white counterparts and remain in care longer, receive fewer services, and have less contact with the caseworkers assigned to them.

The Black Power Movement and American Social Work

This book identifies the practice and policy changes required to address the unequal treatment of children of color in the child welfare system and their implications for social work education, caseworker training, and institutional change. The work critiques existing social welfare acts and policies in terms of their treatment of children of color and provides best practices for each decision point in the child welfare process and for cultural competency measures and training.

The text offers extensive measurement instruments agencies can use to assess and correct institutional racism. To improve social work education, it includes model syllabi for the social work curriculum, and, to deepen the discipline’s engagement with this issue, it concludes with a discussion of future directions for research and policy.

This fifth edition takes into account changes in public health and social welfare policy since 2002, which have intensified concern about the social work supervision of licensed practitioners. Tax and spending limitations, combined with the unfolding effects of welfare reform and managed health care, have emphasized the need for efficient and accountable administration of health and social services in the private and public sectors. This edition confronts issues raised by these developments, including budgetary allocation and staff management, the problems of worker burnout and safety, the changing demographics and growing diversity of the supervising workforce, evidence-based and licensure supervision, and performance appraisal.

Autoethnography is an innovative approach to inquiry in which the researcher is also the subject of the research. Using scholarly and literary devices, the researcher/subject explores the social and cultural contexts of meaningful life experiences and their implications for the present.

Eschewing the restrictions of conventional research writing, autoethnography generates substantial and meaningful knowledge for social workers and professionals in related fields. Researchers produce narratives that reflect the messy, experiential encounters of everyday life. This collection illustrates the value of autoethnography as an inquiry approach for social work practice and its substantial contribution to to social workers.

Selections cover international adoption, cross-dressing, divorce, cultural competence, life-threatening illness, and transformative change, demonstrating accessible writing and complex lived experiences can coexist and move readers in meaningful ways.

Narrating Social Work Through Autoethnography

At once psychological, sociological, and philosophical, this work brings together the testimonies of those dying from terminal illness, old age, sudden injury or trauma, acts of war, and the consequences of natural disasters and terrorism. It also includes the statements of individuals who are on death row, in death camps, or planning suicide. Each form of dying highlights an important set of emotions and narratives that often eclipses stereotypical renderings of dying and reflects the numerous contexts in which this journey can occur. Chapters focus on common emotional themes linked to dying, expanding and challenging them through first-person accounts and analyses of relevant academic and clinical literature.

The result is an all-encompassing investigation into an experience that will eventually include us all and is more surprising and profound than anyone can imagine.

Works by Lisandro Alonso, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Pedro Costa, Jia Zhang-ke, Abbas Kiarostami, Cristian Mungiu, Alexander Sokurov, Bela Tarr, Gus Van Sant, and others radically adhere to space-times in which emotion is repressed along with motion, editing and dialogue yield to stasis and contemplation, and action surrenders to emptiness if not death.

The Cinema of James Cameron

The Cinema of Agnès Varda

James Clarke

Delphine Benezet

This timely volume explores the massively popular cinema of writer-director James Cameron, couching Cameron’s films within the evolving generic traditions of science fiction, melodrama, and the cinema of spectacle. The book also considers the filmmaker’s engagement with visual-effects aesthetics and the “now” of performancecapture technology, phenomena that are arguably transitioning a certain kind of event-movie cinema from photography to something more akin to painting. This study is explicit in presenting Cameron as an authentic auteur, and each chapter is dedicated to reading a single film in his entire body of work. Space is also given to a discussion of Strange Days (1995), as well as the director’s documentary work.

Agnès Varda, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has been making radical films for more than half a century. This volume considers her production as a whole, revisiting overlooked films such as Mur, Murs/ Documenteur (1980–81) and connecting the filmmaker’s cinema to her recent installation work. The study demonstrates how Varda has resisted norms of representation and production diktats and shows how she has elaborated a personal repertoire of images, characters, and settings that provide insight on their cultural and political contexts. This book therefore offers new readings of the director’s multifaceted reveries, arguing her work should be understood as an aesthetically influential and ethically driven production in which cinema is both a political and collaborative practice and a synesthetic art form.

Creating a Cinematic Grammar

Sean Carter and Klaus Dodds

Felicity Colman

International Politics and Film introduces readers to the representational qualities of film but also draws attention to how the relationship between the visual and the spatial is constitutive of international politics. Using four themes—borders, the state of exception, homeland, and distant others—the study particularly highlights the territorial and imaginative dimensions of international affairs while also making clear that international politics is not just something that is “out there.” Film helps us better understand how the subject is part of everyday life within the state, affecting individuals and communities in different ways depending on axes of difference, such as gender, race, class, age, and ethnicity.

Film Theory addresses the core concepts and arguments used by academics, critical film theorists, and filmmakers, and includes the work of Dudley Andrew, Raymond Bellour, Mary Ann Doane, Miriam Hansen, bell hooks, Siegfried Kracauer, Raul Ruiz, P. Adams Sitney, Bernard Stiegler, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. The volume treats film theory as a form of writing that produces a unique cinematic grammar applicable to a wide range of media forms. By creating authorial trends, identifying the technology of cinema as a creative force, and producing films as aesthetic markers, film theories contribute an epistemological resource that connects the technologies of filmmaking and film composition. This book explores these links through film theorizations of the diagrammatization (the systems, methodologies, concepts, histories) of cinematic matters.

The Sports Film

The Heist Film

Bruce Babington

Daryl Lee

After covering the genre’s early history and theorizing on its general characteristics, this volume focuses on specific examples of sports films, such as the biopic, the sports history film, the documentary, the fan film, and the boxing film, and explores such issues as gender, race, spectacle, and silent comedy.

The volume then analyzes four major films: Chariots of Fire (1981), Field of Dreams (1989), the Indian cricket epic Lagaan (2001), and Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday (1999).

While noting American film’s importance to the genre, the book resists concentrating too heavily on American cinema by including British, Indian, Australian, South Korean, Thai, German, New Zealand, and Spanish films and the many different sports they depict.

A concise introduction to the genre about that one last big score, The Heist Film traces the crime thriller’s development as both a dramatic and comic vehicle, beginning with film noir (Criss Cross [1949], The Killers [1946], The Asphalt Jungle [1950]), mutating into sleek capers (Ocean’s Eleven [1960], Gambit [1966], How to Steal a Million [1966]), and splashing across screens in modern remake after remake (The Thomas Crown Affair [1999], The Italian Job [2003], The Good Thief [2002]). Built around case studies of Rififi (1955), Bob le Flambeur (1956), The Killing (1956), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), The Getaway (1972), and the Ocean’s trilogy, the volume explores why directors of such varied backgrounds, from studio regulars (Siodmak, Crichton, Siegel, Walsh, and Wise) to independents (Anderson, Fuller, Kubrick, Ritchie, and Soderbergh), are so drawn to this popular genre.

Joe Dante

Edited by Nil Baskar and Gabe Klinger

In the often dreary landscape of Hollywood’s blockbuster era, the cinema of Joe Dante has stood out as a rare beacon of fearless originality. Blending humor with terror, trenchant political satire with sincere tributes to the moviegoing act itself, the “Dante touch” is best described as a free-for-all orgy of movies, memories, and mischief.

Lubitsch Can’t Wait

Philosophical Discussions on Ernst Lubitsch’s Film Comedy Ivana Novak, Mladen Dolar, and Jela Krečič, Editors

Ernst Lubitsch, the great author of Hollywood comedy and pioneer of such genres as the sophisticated romantic comedy, the musical, and the screwball comedy, is a relatively overlooked figure in mainstream film theory. In this collection, renowned world thinkers and philosophers position Lubitsch as the premium director of subversive cinema, reflecting on his attitude toward love and politics, which correspond to contemporary issues.

Ivana Novak

is a freelance editor specializing in theory, contempo-

rary cinema, television, and comedy. She and Jela Krečič co-curated the 2012 edition of the international symposium on film theory in Slovenian cinematheque, which led to the English edition of Lubitsch Can’t Wait.

Followers of the Hegelian, Marxist, Freudian, Lacanian, and Deleuzian traditions discuss the philosophical, political, and ethical dimensions of Lubitsch’s late Hollywood work. They focus on love as stealing, the ethics of style, and comedy in times of austerity in the director’s masterpiece, Trouble in Paradise (1932); answer the question of why comedy is always polygamous; discuss links among masochism, melancholia, and ideology in Ninotchka (1939); celebrate the ethical gesture of comedy in To Be or Not to Be (1942); and promote the revolutionary comic spirit of Lubitsch’s last directorial effort, Cluny Brown (1946). These essays’ witty, subversive, and provocative approaches highlight Lubitsch’s unique understanding of love, sex, comedy, and politics and his idiosyncratic conception of totalitarian “nightmares” and capitalistic “paradise,” countering the non-dialectic and politically correct discourse of mainstream and independent cinema today.

Peter Jackson’s trilogy was a project of enormous artistic vision and financial risk. This volume is the first to consider each film’s major concepts: their complex origins and narrative structure; their representation of masculinity, femininity, and race; generic patterns; industrial contexts; and film language. The book relates critical debates and key terms to the texts and explores their stylistic and cultural influence. This student edition (an instructor’s edition is also available) brings the story up to date with reflections on The Hobbit films.

Gaming is now an important media studies issue, yet to date there has been very little material written for teachers to use in the classroom.

Dave Harrison, a media teacher and former gaming journalist, has written the ideal introduction to this topic for educators. Covering the history of videogames from Pong to Angry Birds; offering in-depth coverage of game genres, audiences, marketing, and promotion; and including ideas for classroom work and discussion, Gaming makes the delivery of this topic accessible to all.

The Thing

Halloween

Consigned to the deep freeze of critical and commercial reception upon its release in 1982, The Thing has bounced back to become one of the most highly regarded productions of the 1980s “Body Horror” cycle of films.

Thirty years on, and with a recent prequel reigniting interest, Jez Conolly looks back at the film’s antecedents and forward to its changing reception and influence. Themes discussed include the significance of The Thing’s subversive antipodal environment, the role the film has played in the corruption of the onscreen monstrous form, the qualities that make it an exemplar of the director’s work, and the relevance of its visual effects despite the advent of CGI. Accompanied by a full plot breakdown and an appreciation of the film’s notoriously downbeat ending, this exploration captures The Thing’s subzero terror in all its gory glory.

John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) is the film that capped the golden age of 1970s horror— though some say it ruined it by ushering in the era of the slasher film. Considered a paradigm of low-budget ingenuity, the film’s story of an unremarkable American town becoming the site of violence struck a chord with audiences. Much of the film’s success stems from the simple yet strong construction of its central characters: brainy, introverted teenager Laurie Strode; Dr. Loomis, the driven, obsessive psychiatrist; and Michael Myers, the inexplicable, ghostlike masked killer. Film scholar Murray Leeder offers a provocative study of Carpenter’s film, highlighting qualities occasionally effaced by its sequels and remakes. The book explores Halloween as an unexpected ghost film and examines such subjects as its construction of the teenager, the relationship of the film to the holiday, and Myers’s brand of “pure evil.”

Carrie

The Silence of the Lambs

Brian De Palma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s debut novel, Carrie (1976), is one of the defining films of 1970s “New Hollywood” style and a horror classic. Carrie was an enormous commercial and critical success and is still one of the finest screen adaptations of a King work. Neil Mitchell not only breaks the film down into its formal components—its themes, stylistic tropes, technical approaches, uses of color and sound, dialogue, and visual symbolism—but also considers a multitude of other factors contributing to the work’s classic status: the act of adapting King’s novel for the big screen, the origins of the novel, the place of Carrie in De Palma’s oeuvre, and the social, political, and cultural climate of the era (including the influence of second-wave feminism, loosening sexual norms, and changing representations of adolescence), as well as an explosion of interest in and the evolution of the horror genre.

The 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs, based on Thomas Harris’s best-seller, was a game-changer in the fields of both horror and crime cinema. FBI trainee Clarice Starling was a new kind of heroine, vulnerable, intuitive, and in a deeply unhealthy relationship with her monstrous helper/ opponent, the serial killer Hannibal Lecter.

Jonathan Demme’s film skillfully appropriated the tropes of police procedural, gothic melodrama, and contemporary horror and produced something entirely new. The resulting film was both critically acclaimed and massively popular, and went on to have an enormous influence on 1990s genre cinema. Crime and horror authority Barry Forshaw closely examines the factors that contributed to the film’s impact, including the revelatory performances of Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in the lead roles.

Within the book’s pages, note such exhibits as: a study of the strategies used by the participants in the game of Clue; a dilettante who constructs an imaginary woman and loses her to an imaginary man; and a legendary magician so skilled at sleight-of-hand that he is pursued by police for the crime of erasing the line between what is real and what is conjured. Ingeniously written, each exhibit in The Barnum Museum—which includes the story upon which the movie The Illusionist was based—will compel you to continue reading and lure you to the next.

Selected Stories

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis Edited and Translated by Rhett McNeil

Featuring ten stories never before translated, dating from 1878 to 1886 (regarded as Joaquim Machado de Assis’s most radically experimental period), this selection of short fiction by Brazil’s greatest author ranges in tone from elegiac and philosophical to impishly ironic. Including the author’s classic essay on world literature—also appearing in English for the first time—and with pieces chosen from his vast body of work for their playfulness, pathos, and stylistic subversion, this collection is an ideal introduction to one of world literature’s greatest talents.

Here

C. S. Giscombe

C. S. Giscombe’s Here is a long, single poem that unfolds in a progression of three unlikely settings: the edges of the urban South, the outskirts—just beyond and just within the city—of rural Ohio, and the places in which upstate New York forms the border with Canada, or “the next country.” Here is racial in its knowledge and acknowledgment of the great geographic archetype: the journey north, yet the work’s nature denies the closure of destination.

The poem’s interest instead is in statement(s) of situation, in “the path traced by a moving point.” Dalkey Archive Press first published this work in 1994.

Istanbul Was a Fairytale Mario Levi

Translated by Ender Gürol

A major work of contemporary Turkish literature, Istanbul Was a Fairy Tale tells the story of three generations of a Jewish family from the 1920s to the 1980s. Istanbul is their only home, yet they live in a state of total alienation, isolating themselves from the world around them.

As witness, observer, and protagonist, the story’s narrator records this family’s many tales, as well as those of their friends and neighbors, creating an expansive mosaic of characters each doing their best to survive. Dalkey Archive Press published the first edition of this book in 2012.

“With its telescoping of time, its complex changeability of voice,

More Than You Know Melissa Malouf

Alice Clark has been trying to avoid an acute state of “not-knowing” about what’s happened and what’s happening. Whatever happened has much to do with why three of her friends died early and badly and she did not. Alice is a mess, and her story is a mess, too: digressive, disheveled, and wild. She takes us across the United States in an overdue effort to find out what part she’s played, or failed to, in her own life. Along the way, she revisits her memories and meets a variety of “Cheshire cats,” who, in scary, rude, and seductive ways, help her to keep going and find things out . . . or not.

Willie Masters’ Lonesome Wife William H. Gass

In this postmodernist classic and paean to the pleasures of language, William H. Gass equates his text with the body of Babs Masters, the lonesome wife of the title, to advance the conceit that a parallel should exist between a woman and her lover and a book and its reader.

Disappointed by her inattentive husband/reader, Babs exuberantly displays the physical charms of language to entice an illicit new lover: a man named Gelvin, in one sense, but in another sense, the reader of this “essay-novella,” which has attained the status of a postmodernist classic. This book was originally published by Knopf in 1971 and by Dalkey Archive Press in 1989.

When the president is assassinated, Monk tries to discover what has happened to those in his care and, along the way, to the late president—yet this is not, he insists, the story of an assassination. Nor is it a thriller; it is the truth.

Selected Stories Kjell Askildsen

Translated by Sean Kinsella

A man and a woman in an isolated house, surrounded by nothing, or nearly nothing, besieged by urban desert or actual wilderness, by alcohol, cigarettes, and ghosts, by mothers, fathers, and lovers who have disappeared.

Written in an unadorned style, with flashes of pitch-black humor, Kjell Askildsen’s devastating stories convey in few words life and thought as they are actually experienced, balanced between despair and hope, memories and expectations. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Norwegian writers of the twentieth century and among the greatest short-story authors of all time.

Klaus Klump: A Man Gonçalo M. Tavares

The final installment in Gonçalo M. Tavares’s “Kingdom” cycle to be translated into English, Klaus Klump: A Man is a harrowing portrait of a man without values, making his way through a world almost as immoral.

Klaus takes care of the family business; he doesn’t feel fear, hunger, or love. He plays a game, and this game and its object consist of one thing: making money. No matter who you are, Klaus thinks, there is only one thing of importance: to win rather than lose.

The Alp

Arno Camenisch

Translated by Donal McLaughlin

The first novel in Arno Camenisch’s celebrated “alpine” trilogy unfolds over a single summer. The four main (unnamed) characters are a dairyman, his farmhand, a cowherd, and a swineherd who all live and work in close proximity—but this is no Heidi. Theirs is an existence marked by dangerous work, solitude, cruelty, alcoholism, and sheer stubbornness, yet Camenisch’s handling of these lives is full of affection, surreal humor, and a brilliant ear for the sounds of the setting.

A sideways view of the “coming-of-age” experience, Rapids is the story of a young man who moves to a strange city and finds himself lost in its warren of streets and squares. He is looking for his own identity—personal, political, and sexual.

A series of encounters culminates with his meeting Anja, a strong, older woman, stuck in a relationship with another man she cannot bring herself to leave. Anja becomes an anchor for the young man, yet their relationship must remain a secret— and when that secret finally comes to light, their troubles begin.

—Le Soir

The narrator of this novel begins by introducing himself not as a speaker but a listener, spellbound by his friend Caracala’s yarns, which blend accounts of youthful mischief with casual references to Cervantes and Laurence Sterne. At first, the spotlight is entirely on Caracala, but the narrator soon begins to distrust his friend, concluding that he is no more than a sham, a performer.

Yet the reader in turn comes to doubt the narrator’s own pretensions to honesty, until every source of information has become so unreliable as to make the very notion of a “true story” seem like blatant propaganda.

“A book describes works conceived of but not realized by its author.” Like Suicide and Autoportrait, Works is another of Eduoard Levé’s bewitching reconceptions of what the novel can (or should) do.

A list of 533 projects, beginning with its own description—both likely and unlikely, sober and ridiculous—some of which Levé later realized, most of which he did not. Works ranks with the fiction of Georges Perec for its seemingly limitless, ingenious, and comical inventiveness. A lampoon of conceptual art—if not, indeed, an exemplar of its charms at their best—Works is another piece in the puzzle of Levé’s brief and fascinating life.

21 Days of a Neurasthenic Octave Mirbeau

Translated by Justin Vicari

Octave Mirbeau, author of the classic satires The Torture Garden and Diary of a Chambermaid (the latter made into films by both Jean Renoir and Luis Buñuel), wrote this scathing novel on the cusp of the twentieth century.

Driven mad by modern life, Georges Vasseur heads off for a rest cure. At a spa town, though, he encounters precisely those things he has been trying to escape: corrupt politicians, amnesiac coquettes, cheerfully sadistic killers, imperialist generals, and quack psychiatrists. Hypocrites are eternal, and not much has changed since Mirbeau wrote this acid portrait of his era.

“Octave Mirbeau is the greatest for sale throughout the world

—The Quarterly Conversation

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799) was a hunchback, mathematician, electrical theorist, skirt-chaser, asthmatic, hypochondriac, and author of 8,000 aphorisms. Some scholars believe his writings are the scattered pieces of a great novel, and this brilliant, polymorphous novel tracks their attempt to piece it together. The reader discovers how a spinal column gets twisted, what happened to Snow White’s eighth dwarf, how the CIA functions, how to burn down libraries, and how to get a lunar crater named after you.

Here we have the anatomy of the contemporary writer, imagined by the pseudonymous, “post-exotic” Antoine Volodine. His writers are not the familiar, bitter, alcoholic kind; nor are they great, romantic, tortured geniuses; and least of all are they media darlings and socialites. In Volodine’s universe, the writer is pitted in a pathetic struggle against silence and sickness, when she is not about to be murdered by random lunatics or fellow inmates. Consisting of seven loosely interlocking stories, Writers exposes a chaotic reality in which self expression elicits repercussions both absurd and frighteningly familiar.

—World Literature Today

The protagonist of Radio is an Estonian filmmaker heading home after a decade living in Paris. He is an oversensitive and narcissistic man, openly gay though suffering from a somewhat shaky sense of self esteem, stuck in an ongoing identity crisis: Is he an Estonian or a Parisian at heart? Is he an urban dandy or rural hack? The story of an exile and a writer anatomizing a homeland he perhaps wishes to repudiate, Radio is the perfect introduction for English-language audiences to one of world literature’s great tricksters.

Tõnu Õnnepalu

is one of Estonia’s best-known authors.

From the man Arturo Pèrez-Reverte has called “the most talented young Russian author,” comes this extraordinary family saga.

The story is an intricate portrait of three generations of a large family, but there is no division into primary and secondary characters. Each individual fate bears significant weight and runs into the bloody river of the twentieth century. The novel drifts between years, tones, and styles, and its influences range from Rudyard Kipling to Andrei Platonov and Daniil Kharms, from gangster movies to anime.

A chance meeting draws the shady Otsuki to the home of a master calligrapher, where he is subjected to a bizarre pornographic movie in which shots of a teenage girl alternate with close-ups of insects. Otsuki is then introduced to the calligrapher’s attractive granddaughter, the star of the film, and is asked to shoot the remainder of the work himself. A metaphysical thriller, surreal noir, and “moral tale” gone wrong, Triangle is an unsettling peek into the dark and irrational reality lying beneath a city.

Where the Air Is Clear Carlos Fuentes

Translated by Sam Hileman

Carlos Fuentes’s first novel is an unsparing portrayal of Mexico City’s upper class. Departing from a traditional linear narrative, Fuentes overlays Mexican myths onto contemporary settings, showing that even the rich and powerful must succumb to the indomitable spirit of Mexico, which undermines all institutions and shapes all destinies.

Where the Air Is Clear was first published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1988 and by Dalkey Archive Press in 2004.

Carlos Fuentes

(1928–2012) is the author of more than a dozen

novels and story collections and was Mexico’s most celebrated novelist and critic. He received numerous honors and awards throughout his lifetime, including the Miguel de Cervantes Prize and the Belisario Domínguez Medal of Honor.

Joy blames her problems not on her work or on the accidental drowning of her illicit lover but on herself. While painful and deeply serious, this is a novel of great warmth and energy. It is the wit and irony found in moments of despair that prove to be Joy’s salvation. First published by Polygon in 1989 and Dalkey Archive Press in 1994.

Four Cold Chapters on the Possibility of Literature

(Leading Mostly to Borges and Oulipo) Pablo M. Ruiz

for sale throughout the world

What can be said about the silence that precedes a poem or story? What myths have been invented to explain the transition from “nothing” to a work of art? And when did the “account of composition” turn into a literary genre of its own?

These questions are at the heart of Pablo M. Ruiz’s excursion into the center(s) of literary creativity. Filled with paradoxes and parables, Four Cold Chapters on the Possibility of Literature considers Jorge Luis Borges, Georges Perec, and Felisberto Hernández, as well as several doctoral dissertations, on its journey through the universe of writing (and writing about writing).

Making Figures

Re-imagining Body, Sound, and Image in a World That Is Not for Us Bruce Bromley

As a species and as a culture, we recognize ourselves by our capacity for possession so that personhood is made equivalent to ownership. If, however, the way in which we imagine objects predisposes our behavior toward them, art can encourage us to reorient how we comport ourselves in a world that is not meant to be owned, that is not even meant for us. To frustrate the desolation of avarice, we must enrich our view of things, and Making Figures takes us through the writing of Virginia Woolf, both her fiction and nonfiction, in the service of this imperative.

Josette Baer retraces the eventful life of the Slovak politician Vavro Šrobár, the principal figure in the implementation of Czechoslovak democracy in Slovakia. From his student days and fight for Slovak civil rights in Upper Hungary to his active resistance to German fascism, Šrobár shaped Czechoslovakia’s turbulent history in the first half of the twentieth century. Baer’s comprehensive biography makes archived materials available to English-speaking audiences for the first time and offers unique insight into Czechoslovakia’s underresearched political history.

This book is the definitive account of one of history’s most infamous death factories, where approximately 800,000 people lost their lives. From the Nazis who ran it to the Ukrainian guards and maids, the Jewish survivors, and the Poles living in the camp’s shadow—this text represents every perspective. It provides biographies of the Jews who perished in the death camp as well as those who escaped from Treblinka in individual efforts or as part of the mass prisoner uprising on August 2, 1943. It also includes unique and previously unpublished sketches of the camp’s ramp area and gas chamber, drawn by survivors.

This volume follows the radical change in the nature of armed conflicts and the way they are narrated and represented since the First World War, which rendered meaningless the very vocabulary of such terms as “battle,” “front,” “noncombatant,” “open city,” and “hero.” The enemy became invisible.

Submarines, tanks, mines, gas, long-range artillery, and airplanes made war different from all other conflicts that came before.

These essays study representations of the Canudos Civil War in Brazil, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the colonial wars in Africa, and the war in Afghanistan.

This timely intervention exposes the euphemized language of the extreme right as a deceptive attempt to secure greater influence over public policy. Since the end of World War II, the extreme right has made strategic use of “doublespeak,” which apes the language of liberal democracy.

Attentive observation and accurate recognition of these tactics require taking the extreme right’s deliberately crafted slogans, symbols, and themes seriously. These essays investigate the extreme right’s attempts at “repackaging” contemporary ultranationalism to make it more palatable to mainstream European and American tastes.

This multifaceted analysis of EU–Russian relations investigates competing models of international society and unveils multiple alternatives both the EU and Russia can draw on in their policies toward each other.

Assessing the repercussions of ongoing EU–Russian discord, the volume reveals the interconnectedness of the discourses dominating the EU and Russia while also accounting for their deep-seated disconnect.

This book explores the delusional imaginings of Russia’s pseudoscientific “alternative history” movement, which diligently rewrites Russia’s past and “rediscovers” its hidden greatness. Alternative history has become a popular therapy for Russians still coming to terms with the reality of post-Soviet life. It is one of the forces shaping a new Russian nationalism and an important factor in the geopolitics of the twenty-first century.

Focusing on Germany’s post-Soviet emigrant community and their “Russendisko,” this volume portrays St. Petersburg’s vibrant music scene as an electrifying platform for exchange. Its findings illuminate Soviet and post-Soviet popular music history and Russia’s relationship with the Ukraine. The text enables not only a deeper understanding of popular music’s role in society but also a better comprehension of cultural processes since the fall of the Soviet Union.

This book analyzes the dubious role of the Democratic Antifascist Youth Movement, “Nashi,” in contemporary Russia. Part of the Putinist project of political stabilization, Nashi mobilizes young Russians through its emotional appeal, skillful use of symbolic politics, and promise of professional selfrealization.

Government-organized yet scandal-stricken, Nashi inspires everything from broad support to a reluctance to accept all implications of Putin’s political system. This volume shows how Nashi conceptualizes an “ideal youth” within the framework of an official national identity politics and as an attempt to mobilize apolitical youth.

These essays explore the taxonomies and relationships between the aesthetic forms, styles, and methodologies of detective and crime fiction in the late-Victorian and Edwardian period. The influences on the genre’s artists are as varied as the era’s interests in scientific method, forensics, archaeology, medicine, and the paranormal. Yet the formalizing tendencies of the investigative process remain, and this volume examines the understanding of crime’s resolution as a stylistic imposition of structure on disorder.

This volume follows shifting conceptions of decadence in art and society at various moments in British literature. The decline from a higher standard, social malaise, aesthetic ennui—all of these ideas presume certain facts about the past, the present, and time’s linear nature. To reject the past as a given and to relish the subtleties of present nuance is the beginning of decadence. This study explores the inherent conflict between society’s moral contempt toward purportedly decadent artists and the artist’s belief that the stranglehold society maintained on individual interpretation was true decadence.

This timely collection offers fresh perspective on the fight over access to the Caspian Sea region’s energy resources. To date, the export of Caspian crude oil and natural gas has only been assessed geopolitically, which oversimplifies the political dynamics of the region and neglects to recognize the Caspian countries as actors in their own right.

This volume presents perspectives on spatially construed knowledge systems and their struggle to interrelate. Western social sciences tend to be wrapped up in specific, exclusionary discourses, and Northern and Southern knowledge systems are sidelined. Spatial Social Thought reimagines the social sciences as a place of encounter among all spatially bound, parochial knowledge systems.

This groundbreaking book shows how innovative microfinance solutions can help billions escape poverty and atavism. Roberto Moro Visconti offers bottom-up development strategies for microcredit-driven startups and beyond. His forceful analysis of poverty traps and practical guidelines for such strategies as how to create business-plan templates as Excel spreadsheets are designed to help practitioners and analysts alike realize the true potential of microfinance.

Featuring contributions by such leading scholars as Mike Goodman (Baruch College), Benjamin Huybrechts (University of Liège), Andrew E. G. Jonas (University of Hull), Roger Lee (University of Chicago), Peter North (Swansea University), and Katinka Weber (University of Liverpool), this collection explores alternative modes of economic and social exchange, including credit unions, alternative currencies, sustainable consumption, and social enterprises, and their performance in relation to and beyond the economic mainstream. The volume introduces a framework for transitioning to a more sustainable economic system while reconceptualizing the system itself in our scholarly thinking and daily lives.

Young Muslims have begun to develop a subculture within Europe’s growing Muslim population, its manifestations ranging from the proliferation of religious rap and streetwear featuring Islamic slogans to morally impeccable comedy. These forms of religiously permissible fun and youthcompatible worship are actively shaping the future of Islam in Europe and the character of Muslim and non-Muslims relations.

Texts and e-mail have created new relational forms of intimacy, and talk shows, televised dating games, and marriage quiz shows offer popular theatrical communications of love. Are we sacrificing intimacy to the public sphere by abandoning traditional forms of communication media, such as love letters and the telephone?

Incorporating insights from sociology, history, linguistics, and cultural and media studies, this book uniquely analyzes new media’s effects.

A Cultural Critique Roman Meinhold Translated by John Irons

In addition to products and services, multinational corporations sell myths, values, and immaterial goods. These “meta-goods,” which include prestige, beauty, and strength, are major components of successful marketing and advertising. Fashion ads mine deeply rooted human values, ideals, and desires, channeled through social recognition, beautification, and rejuvenation. Although referencing meta-goods is obvious to some consumers, their connection to philosophical theories of human nature is less apparent, even among the marketers and advertisers who use them. This book will appeal to researchers and students of cultural studies, media studies, marketing, advertising, fashion, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and psychology, and anyone interested in the operation of fashion.

Beginning with an analysis of participation practices in contemporary print and other media, this volume expands historical perspectives by exploring the potential of participatory cultures to illuminate past forms of collaboration between individual and collective actors (authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics, etc.). In doing so, the volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and medially specific forms and functions, as well as on the economic, political, and institutional parameters, contributing to the emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious alliances.

Reconfigurations of Racism in Contemporary Europe

Markus Wild, editors

Frank Peter, Editor

Philosophers investigating questions of animal ethics tend to draw on animal cognition research while subscribing to strong positions regarding animal minds, and philosophers pursuing the question of animal minds frequently draw conclusions from the arguments of ethical philosophers.

Despite this exchange, animal mind and animal ethics research have developed in fundamentally different directions. One reason for this divison lies in the institutional distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy. This anthology brings these fields and their philosophical approaches closer together, mapping their surprising ideological and methodological overlap.

Racial semantics are shifting in Europe, race is coded in multiple ways, and the defense of naturalized privilege is regularly raised to preempt accusations of racism. The ability to identify racism as a particular kind of power formation has become complicated. This volume examines the relation of race to the operation of social power within particular contexts and the critical purchase and effectiveness of analytical concepts of racism. It combines conceptual reflections with case studies exploring the diverse ways racism is discussed in European countries today.

Borders and Border Regions in Europe

Changes, Challenges, and Chances

Transnational Organized Crime

Analyses of a Global Challenge to Democracy

Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung and

Jan Wielgohs, Editors

Regine Schönenberg, Editors

This text follows adjustments to the borders of Europe and its neighbors from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. It pays special attention to the history and contemporary dynamics of Polish and German borders and the creation of Euroregions, as well as mutual perceptions of Poles and Germans at the border, EU Regional Policy, and media debates over the extension of the Schengen Area. The European focus is complemented by an analysis of crossborder mobility between Abkhazia and Georgia and the societal effects of Israel’s Security Fence for Palestine.

Transnational organized crime interferes with everyday life and poses a serious threat to democracy. Nevertheless, it has become an inherent feature of economic globalization, blurring the line between legal and illegal business networks. With contributions from twelve countries and twenty-five experts working in civil society organizations, private industry, journalism, and activism, this anthology offers a crosscultural and multidisciplinary analysis of transnational organized crime, the laws and regulations governing the international flow of trade, and the exploitation of these laws by criminal actors.

Wounds and Words

Aged Young Adults

Childhood and Family Trauma in Romantic and Postmodern Fiction

Age Readings of Contemporary American Novels and Films

Christa Schönfelder

Anita Wohlmann

Trauma has become a hotly contested topic in literary studies, yet interest in trauma is nothing new. Its conceptual roots extend back to the romantic period, when novelists and early psychiatrists first began to investigate the wounded mind.

When Toula’s father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding says to his daughter (age thirty) “you look so old,” or when Don DeLillo’s protagonist in Cosmopolis (age twenty-eight) “feels old,” these characters are exhibiting an age awareness that has received little attention in age scholarship.

This book revisits these attempts to understand trauma, reading a selection of romantic novels in dialogue with romantic and contemporary psychiatry. It then extends that dialogue to postmodern fiction, examining how empirical approaches can deepen our theorizations of trauma. Within an interdisciplinary framework, this study brings fresh insight to the poetics, politics, and ethics of trauma fiction.

Leaving aside the chronological or biological dimensions of age, this study approaches the phenomenon as a metaphoric practice, arguing that “feeling old” should be thought of metaphorically rather than literally. Examining the cultural meanings of age and aging, this text recasts the meaning of such common terms as late-coming-of-age and perpetual adolescence.

Restless Subjects in Rigid Systems

Beware of the Other Side(s)

Multiple Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder in American Fiction

Susanne Wegener

Heike Schwarz

Kathryn Bigelow’s Hollywood film Strange Days (1995), Karen T. Yamashita’s novel Tropic of Orange (1997), and Larissa Lai’s novel Salt Fish Girl (2002) are aesthetically intricate speculative fictions that perceptively critique current political-economic discourse and its subtle reconfiguration of race, class, and gender. This study focuses on these North American fictional texts and their dystopian near-future scenarios that position risk as a new rationality for governance.

They also position neoliberal speculation as a new paradigm of subject formation within a hypercapitalist, millennial Pacific Rim.

This interdisciplinary study examines the vivid phenomenon of the most controversial psychiatric diagnosis in the United States: multiple personality disorder. Now called dissociative identity disorder this syndrome encompasses the occurrence of two or more distinct identities that take control of a person’s behavior paired with inexplicable memory loss. Synthesizing psychiatric research and the dynamics of the disorder with its influential representation in American fiction, this study confronts how psychiatry and fiction mutually influence a mysterious syndrome and how this reciprocity created a genre of fiction that persists in a distinct, self-referential mode.

Architecture and urbanism appear to be “weak” disciplines, struggling to better define their scholarly nature and borders. While both fields are immensely creative, architecture lacks a definitive conception of space and urbanism lacks a concrete definition of city. Using metaphors in these fields can be problematic. Though they bring opposites together, metaphors run the danger of becoming too literal to relate to these subjects properly. In this volume, several authors from various disciplines use different approaches to explore such dilemmas.

Andri Gerber

is senior lecturer in the history of urbanism

at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.

What do we know about the world’s impoverished urban areas and their living conditions? How do the urban poor cope with their surroundings? How do they interpret or adapt urban spaces to transcend their position at the social periphery?

This volume explores these questions while underscoring the ability of social science research to counter the “exotification of the ghetto,” exposing the heterogeneity and individuality that thrives behind the facade. It ultimately brings fresh insight into issues of poverty and inequality beyond collective categories.

The Berlin Reader is an essential resource for anyone interested in urban development in one of the most interesting and important metropolises in Europe. It provides scholars, students, journalists, and visitors with a survey of essential discussions on the changes Berlin has experienced since the fall of the wall. It addresses inner city renewal, housing and the local economy, and gentrification and other urban conflicts. The anthology breaks new ground by offering non-German speakers insight into reunification’s controversial debates and by addressing the mixed results of Berlin’s urban transformation.

What aesthetic structures, representational codes, and conventions are taking shape across transitory Egypt? Which are broken, and how is democracy envisioned? How did January 25 change the relationship among citizens, public space, and visual expression?

What politics are at play when history manifests as an image?

Exploring Dance Histories at the Radcliffe College Archives

Interdisciplinary Approaches

Thom Hecht

Ilona Horwath, Editors

This book is the first in-depth archival exploration of a lost history of dance as an extracurricular activity at Radcliffe College, the women’s liberal arts college of Harvard University, during the first half of the twentieth century. Using archival storying, an innovative method that incorporates the researcher’s lived experiences at the Radcliffe College Archives into his historical discourse, the text presents three archive stories informed by the researcher’s personal encounters with the surroundings of the archive and the interpretation and reading of what he found. The result is a transporting narrative that vividly recreates the remapping of Radcliffe’s dance history.

What role does gender play in scientific research and technological development?

This book shares methodological expertise, research experiences, and empirical results as they relate to gender in science and technology studies. Contributors hail from computer science, the social sciences, and philosophy and discuss how to pose questions about gender and apply such questions in interdisciplinary research, development, and teaching. Topics range from the design of information and communication technologies and the epistemologies of biology and chemistry to teaching mathematics and professional processes in engineering.

By focusing on the modes and media of fetishized objects, this anthology reorients the debate on “thingness” toward a new global art-historical perspective.

Contributors explore the attention given to material images in both art and culture from the height of colonial expansion to today. Incorporating research in aesthetics, psychology, and ethnography, they show how “fetishes” took shape from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries and became vehicles and agents of transculturality. They also advance recent discourse on magical practice and its secular meanings, which requires altered art-historical approaches.

Since commercial studio photographers and the colonial state first introduced photography to Kenya, Muslims have debated and contested the medium on the cosmopolitan East African coast. This book not only explores the making, circulation, and consumption of popular photographs but also their rejection and obliteration.

The text addresses various “social spaces of refusal” in the local Muslim milieu and the “traditional” spirit mediums in which (gendered) visibility was (and is) contested in creative ways. The study focuses on the “aesthetics of withdrawal,” the techniques of veiling, masking, and concealing through which the surface of the photographic image is theatricalized. Via a fragmented historical perspective, Heike Behrend seeks to complement, decenter, and counter the history of photography as it has been told by the West.

Health and Resilience

Tadeusz Marian Ostrowski

and Iwona Sikorska, Editors

This collection provides readers with an opportunity to consider the issue of mental health and resilience from various perspectives. It examines numerous concepts of resilience as they relate to patterns of adaptation in adverse contexts. Consequently, resilience can be conceived by readers as good adaptation, effective coping, or well-being attained despite adversity.

Referring to a class of complex phenomena, resilience is not only a basic category for developmental psychopathology and positive psychology but also applies to developmental, educational, family, and health psychology, as well as to psychoneuroimmunology. The chapters in this book address the issue of resilience from either the nomothetic or the idiographic perspective. They discuss theoretical models of resilience, investigate mechanisms and processes connected with health and resilience, scrutinize various aspects of the latter (such as risk and protective factors or internal and external resources), and provide examples of support in difficult life circumstances.

Reading Comprehension in Polish and English

Evidence from an Introspective Study Monika Kusiak

This book explains the complexity of the dual-language involvement of FL/L2 reading by showing how L1 and FL/L2 factors interplay in FL/L2 reading. The book’s aim is to treat reading in English in the foreignsecond-language context as a cross-linguistic phenomenon and to present the results of a think-aloud study that investigated reading in Polish as the L1 and English as the FL of Polish learners of English. The project involved six stages, each focusing on a different aspect of reading, and explored reading strategies; problems and solutions; the way subjects construct their representations of texts; and students’ individual patterns of developing comprehension and effectiveness in identifying main ideas. The findings reveal both similarities and differences between reading in Polish and English and elucidates the usefulness of think-aloud protocols in foreign-language instruction.

A Genre Perspective

Magdalena Szczyrbak “The data and comprehensive discussion in this volume confirm new regularities in the realization of the Concessive relation and formulate claims regarding the realization of the said relation in two Indo-European languages.”

Along with a review of approaches to concessivity as well as legal and linguistic perspectives on argumentation, this analysis draws on genre studies and follows a genre-based view of legal language. It shows through an examination of EU and Polish judgments how the Concessive relation is deployed by last-instance courts and, in a pioneering attempt to identify tripartite Concessive patterns in written data, offers insight into the linguistic construction of judicial argumentation, seen as a “mute dialogue” with the addressee, highlighting recurrent argumentative schemata and related discourse signals and functions.

This book is the result of a cooperation between scientists from the University of Ljubljana and Jagiellonian University.

The aim was to present a compilation of examples that illustrate areas worth considering, contexts and practices, and certain problems and dilemmas in the field of lifelong learning. The reality outlined in this book is selective, yet it is also “spatial” in the sense that it enables a firm grasp of the size and dynamism of development. These essays encompass not only significant issues from the standpoint of key competences but also concepts relating to social, cultural, scientific, artistic, and common schooling that lead to more comprehensive personal development and better quality of life.

Chinese opera embraces more than 360 different styles of theater that make one of the richest performance arts in the world. It combines music, speech, poetry, mime, acrobatics, stage fighting, vivid face painting, and exquisite costumes. First experiences of Chinese opera can be baffling because its vocabulary of stagecraft is familiar only to the seasoned aficionado. Chinese Opera: The Actor’s Craft makes the experience more accessible for everyone.

This book uses breath-taking images of Chinese opera in performance by Hong Kong photographer Siu Wang-Ngai to illustrate and explain Chinese opera stage technique. The book explores costumes, gestures, mime, acrobatics, props, and stage techniques. Each explanation is accompanied by an example of its use in an opera and is illustrated by in-performance photographs. Chinese Opera: The Actor’s Craft provides the reader with a basic grammar for understanding uniquely Chinese solutions to staging drama.

Royal Navy submarine HMS Poseidon sank in collision with a Chinese freighter during routine exercises in 1931 off Weihaiwei. Thirty of its fiftysix-man crew scrambled out of the hatches as it went down. Of the twenty-six who remained inside, eight attempted to surface using “Davis gear,” an early form of diving equipment: six of them made it safely to the surface in the first escape of this kind in submarine history and became heroes. The incident was then forgotten, eclipsed by the greater drama that followed in World War II, until news emerged that, for obscure reasons, the Chinese government had salvaged the wrecked submarine in 1972. This lively account of the Poseidon incident tells the story of the accident and its aftermath, and of the author’s own quest to find out about the 1972 salvage.

In December 1846, the Keying, a Chinese junk purchased by British investors, set sail from Hong Kong for London. Named after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner who had signed away Hong Kong to the British, manned by a Chinese and European crew, and carrying a traveling exhibition of Chinese items, the Keying had a troubled voyage.

After quarrels on the way and a diversion to New York, culminating in a legal dispute over arrears of wages for Chinese members of the crew, it finally reached London in 1848, where it went on exhibition on the River Thames until 1853. It was then auctioned off, towed to Liverpool, and finally broken up.

In this account of the ship, the crew and the voyage, Stephen Davies tells a story of missed opportunities with an erratic course, overambitious aims, and achievements born of lucky breaks—a microcosm, in fact, of early Hong Kong and relations between China and the West.

Villages in the City

A Guide to South China’s Informal Settlements Stefan Al, Editor With Paul Chu Hoi Shan, Claudia Juhre, Ivan Valin, and Casey Wang as Contributing Editors

Countless Chinese villages have been engulfed by modern cities. They no longer consist of picturesque farms and fengshui groves, but of high-rise buildings so close to each other they create dark claustrophobic alleys, jammed with dripping air conditioners, hanging clothes, caged balconies, and bundles of buzzing electric wires and crowned with a small strip of daylight known as “thin line sky.” At times, buildings stand so close to each other they are dubbed “kissing buildings” or “handshake houses”— you can literally reach out from one building and shake hands with your neighbor.

Villages in the City argues for the value of urban villages as places. To reveal their qualities, a series of drawings and photographs uncover the immense concentration of social life in the dense structures and provide a peek into residents’ homes and daily lives. Essays by a number of experts offer a deeper understanding of the topic and help imagine how reinstating the focus on the village could lead to a richer, more variegated pathway of urbanization.

Although it is easy to see these villages as slums, a closer look reveals they provide an important, affordable, and well-located entry point for migrants into the city. They also offer a vital mixed-use, spatially diverse, and pedestrian alternative to the prevailing car-oriented, modernist planning paradigm in China. Yet most of these villages are on the brink of destruction, affecting the homes of millions of people and threatening the eradication of a unique urban fabric.

Poverty in the Midst of Affluence

How Hong Kong Mismanaged Its Prosperity Leo F. Goodstadt

of worsening poverty amid growing affluence in Hong Kong, Leo F. Goodstadt has identified the new poor as those made vulnerable through diminishing access to essential services and opportunities.

The culprits are misguided policies and the callous and uncaring decisions of those in power. This compelling critique carries weight and demands a response.”

—Christine Fang, chief executive of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service

Hong Kong is among the richest cities in the world.

Yet over the past fifteen years, living conditions for the average family have deteriorated despite a robust economy, ample budget surpluses, and record labor productivity. Successive governments have been reluctant to invest in services for the elderly, the disabled, the long-term sick, and the poor while education has become more elite. The political system has helped entrench a mistaken consensus that social spending is a threat to financial stability and economic prosperity. In this trenchant attack on government mismanagement, Leo F. Goodstadt traces how officials have created a “new poverty” in Hong Kong and argues their misguided policies are both a legacy of the colonial era and a deliberate choice by modern governments, not the result of economic crises. This book is highly relevant to the continuing debate about the efficiency of market forces in solving welfare “problems” and the claims put forward for the superiority of the private sector in meeting housing, health, and educational needs.

“In this latest volume in his series on Hong Kong’s economic, social, and political development, Goodstadt has again given us a most timely intervention in policy discussion and public debate.

This is a critical reflection on Hong Kong’s path of social development and a most discerning analysis of the Third World mentality espoused by the government and the business community in the area of social welfare.”

This edited volume brings together essays by leading experts exploring different aspects of ethnic minority education in China: among these are the challenges associated with bilingual and trilingual education in Xinjiang and Tibet; Han Chinese reaction to preferential minority education; the role of inland boarding schools for minority students; and the mediation of religion and culture in multiethnic schools. The book covers these topics from a range of different perspectives: Uyghur, Tibetan, Korean, Mongolian, Han, and those of the West, combining empirical field studies with theoretical approaches. Previous scholarship has explored the pedagogical and policy challenges of minority education in China; this is the first volume to recast these problems in the light of the Chinese partystate’s efforts to create ethnic harmony and stability through a shared sense of national belonging.

Wang Renmei

The Wildcat of Shanghai (With DVD of Wild Rose) Richard J. Meyer

Wang Renmei was on a fast track to become one of China’s leading film stars in the 1930s. Her early films were received with magnificent praise by audiences and critics alike, though she later lamented she became famous too early and never had a chance to properly study acting. The film Song of the Fishermen (1934), in which she sang and played a major role, was the first Chinese motion picture to win an International Award in Moscow in 1935.

“Meyer always writes in an accessible, jargon-free style that invites all F o r S a l e O n ly i n t h e U n i t e d s tat es , C a n a d a , Me x i c o , Ce n t r a l A m e r i c a , South America, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Europe, t h e Mi d d l e E a s t, A f r i c a , a n d I n d i a

Thanks to this wonderful book, the Chinese actress Wang Renmei and the film Wild Rose will no longer be obscure within the English-speaking world of film scholarship.”

—Peter Lehman, director of the Center for Film, Media, and Popular Culture, Arizona State University, and coauthor of Thinking About Movies: Watching, Questioning, Enjoying

Wang’s personal struggles reflected the turbulent period from the end of the Qing dynasty to the rise of Deng Xiaoping. This study explores her artistic achievements amid the prevalent anti-feminist and feudal society in China prior to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949—attitudes which contributed to the downturn of Wang’s promising career and forced her to accept various bit parts among the more than twenty films in which she appeared. In addition, personal problems as well as the Anti-Rightist Movement and the Cultural Revolution led to her hospitalization for mental illness.

“Wang Renmei is one of the most dynamic and talented film actors in Chinese history, full of tensions and self-contradictions that revealed in part the violence and turmoil of her times and the political complexity of the film industry. This fine book on one of China’s most exciting film artists will appeal to both scholars and general readers interested in early Chinese cinema.”

Reforming Law Reform

Perspectives from Hong Kong and Beyond Michael Tilbury, Simon N. M. Young, and Ludwig Ng, editors

As a special administrative region of China, Hong Kong has its own legal system rooted in the common law. Reforms to this system take into account Hong Kong’s unique conditions as an international city and draw widely on practices around the world. Since 1980, recommendations from a Law Reform Commission, chaired by the secretary for justice, have resulted in comprehensive revisions in key areas of law, ranging from commercial arbitration and interception of communications to divorce and copyright.

Recently, however, the government has been slow to act on the commission’s recommendations.

Questions have also arisen about whether the commission—under-resourced, part-time, and government-led—can really meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated society. Is law reform itself also in need of reform? This collection of essays by distinguished experts from around the world seeks answers to this question. The book explores the varied experience of law reform in Hong Kong and other common-law jurisdictions and makes recommendations for strengthening the process of law reform both in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

A Guide for Journalists and Media Professionals Expanded Second Edition Doreen Weisenhaus With Contributions by Rick Glofcheski and Yan Mei Ning

This second edition of Hong Kong Media Law is an authoritative guide to the laws most important to reporters, editors, news executives, and other professionals working in print, online, and broadcast media—and the lawyers who advise them. Topics include defamation, court reporting, privacy, access to information, copyright, newsgathering, and reporting restrictions. The book also examines legal hurdles Hong Kong and international journalists face while reporting on the mainland of the People’s Republic of China. It features chapter FAQs and checklists, a glossary of legal terms, a research guide, and key legislation texts.

“When the first edition of Hong Kong Media Law came out, it met a pressing need. For the first time, all those involved in the communications industry, including the lawyers who advise them, had available in a single published text an authoritative guide—set out in clear and concise terms—to the highways and byways of the otherwise almost impenetrable landscape of statutes, regulations, and court-made jurisprudence governing the media law of Hong Kong.

On December 25, 1941, the day of Hong Kong’s surrender to the Japanese, Admiral Chan Chak, the Chinese government’s chief agent in Hong Kong, and more than sixty Chinese and British intelligence, naval, and marine personnel made a dramatic escape from the invading army. This gripping account draws on sources in both English and Chinese and sheds new light on the role played by the Chinese in the defense of Hong Kong, on the diplomacy behind the escape, and on the guerillas who carried the admiral in a sedan chair as they led his party over the rivers and mountains of enemyoccupied China.

–Philip Snow, author of The Fall of Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s story in the Second World War has predominantly centered on the British forces and their defeat on Christmas Day in 1941. Yet there is another story: the Chinese guerrilla forces who harassed the Japanese throughout the occupation played a crucial part in aiding escapes from Hong Kong’s prisoner-of-war camps and in rescuing Allied airmen. This pioneering book is informed by many contacts with the participants of the guerrilla warfare.

Beyond Outreach

Clara Ramírez-Barat, Editor

Transitional justice processes have a fundamental public dimension: their impact depends in part on the social support they receive. For this reason, transitional justice bodies have increasingly implemented outreach programs.

“The contributors examine various forms of outreach attempted after a transition—from official press releases to participatory theater to Sesame Street— to sort through what has and has not worked and why.

Together, these pieces make a powerful argument that efforts to deal with the past will fail unless they are connected to society.”

—Tina Rosenberg, author of The Haunted Land: Facing Europe’s Ghosts After Communism Clara Ramírez-Barat

is a senior associate in the Research Unit at

“This unique collection addresses the breadth of communicative mechanisms, from traditional media to new media and from art to film to photography and literature. The beautifully crafted chapters bring alive the multidimensional nature of social engagement and describe how these societal processes can maim and destroy as well as contribute to survival and healing. The strength of this book lies in its attention to

Yet beyond outreach, other initiatives, such as media and cultural interventions, can strengthen and, in some cases, undermine the public resonance of transitional justice. How can media and art be used to engage society in discussions about accountability and redress? How do media influence social perceptions and attitudes toward the legacy of the past? To what extent is social engagement in the public sphere necessary to advance the political transformation that transitional justice measures hope to promote? Examining the role that culture and society play in transitional justice contexts, these essays focus on the ways in which communicative practices can raise public awareness of the legacies of mass abuse.

On May 3, 1975, Hong Kong received its first cohort of 3,743 Vietnamese boatpeople, the beginning of a twenty-five-year chain of events developing within the larger context of forced migration in the modern world. This book intertwines historical archives with personal drawings created by Vietnamese people detained in Hong Kong camps. A work of collective memory with a human face, the text shows how artistic expression, interpretation, and analysis can help traumatized souls heal while compelling society to confront a past that has vanished without any trace of reflection.

By unraveling this history, the book seeks to inspire conscious review and reinterpretation of the past to elicit new insight and meaning.

Sophia Suk-mun Law

is an associate professor in the

Department of Visual Studies at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Her research focuses on art facilitation, art in community, and service learning.

This volume is the most extensive social and cultural history of twentieth-century Huangmei Opera to date. A regional Chinese theater originating in the Anqing countryside, Huangmei Opera gained popularity with the success of the 1950s play and movie Married to a Heavenly Immortal.

Through a case study of this work, the author juxtaposes the complex process of rewriting and revising the play and movie against the rapidly changing cultural and ideological climate of the communist theater-reform movement. As a result, the traditional theme of filial piety becomes a struggle over class and free love. This volume features a full translation of the original play and its revision in the 1950s, as well as additional material by scriptwriters, directors, performers, and critics.

Mirage

Anonymous Translated by Patrick Hanan

The young son of the Chinese traders’ association head, who dealt with foreign merchants in the port of Guangzhou, is suddenly burdened with the responsibility of his powerful family. A latter-day Baoyu, but with far stronger sexual impulses, this son must learn to tame his libido while conducting himself prudently in Guangzhou society.

This little-known novel, titled Shenlou zhi, is translated here for the first time. Published in 1804, it is the earliest novel to deal with the opium trade and is closely connected to events that occurred in Guangzhou and Huizhou just before its publication: the arrival of a new superintendent of customs in Guangzhou and the outbreak of rebellion in Huizhou. This strikingly original work advances the culture of adolescence first depicted in Honglou meng and showcases, in its account of the rebellion, the romantic conventions of Shuihu zhuan.

Patrick Hanan

Literature Emeritus at Harvard University. He is the translator of many works of Chinese traditional fiction, including The Carnal Prayer Mat and The Sea of Regret.

Toward the end of the eighteenth century, the scholar and wit Ji Xiaolan published five collections of anecdotes and discourses on the interaction between the mundane and the spirit worlds, incorporating earthly life stories and happenings. Containing Ji’s thoughts and others’ experiences, these tales concern peasants, servants, merchants, governors, and ministers; take place throughout the Qing empire; and recount comedy and tragedy, cruelty and kindness, corruption and integrity, and erudition and ignorance.

Some stories use ghosts to satirize men and manners; others straightforwardly examine beliefs and practices. Altogether, they draw a portrait of the time unmatched in scope and variety. Selections are organized thematically and include a contextualizing preface. An introduction appraises Ji’s own career and the atmosphere in which he lived.

The series, Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization, presents the latest academic thinking on a wide range of development topics and outlines alternative policy options and trade-offs. Written in a language accessible to policy makers and students alike, this series is unique for both shaping the academic research agenda and furthering the economic policy debate, facilitating a more democratic discussion of development policies.
