American Indian Women of Proud Nations Essays on History, Language, and Education

184 pp., num. b/w ill., 4 coloured ill.

Critical Indigenous and American Indian Studies. Vol. 2 hb. • ISBN 978-1-4331-3192-9 CHF 73.– / €D 65.– / €A 66.80 / € 60.73 / £ 49.– / US-$ 78.95 eBook (SUL) • ISBN 978-1-4539-1675-9 CHF 76.90 / €D 72.27 / €A 72.88 / € 60.73 / £ 49.– / US-$ 78.95

his multidisciplinary collection of nine previously unpublished essays presents new research in three interlocking domains: tribal history with a special emphasis on Native women in the Southeast, language revitalization efforts and the narrative knowledge inherent in indigenous oral culture, and traditional educational systems in the context of the ongoing colonization of American Indian educational practices and values. This volume highlights Southeastern Indian issues and demonstrates the unique situation of women in tribes lacking (full) federal recognition or a more inclusive and multidisciplinary discussion of Native women in more than one tribal nation. Southeastern themes are linked with topics of concern by other tribal nations to show commonalities and raised awareness about the central experiences and contributions of Native women in the encounter and ongoing struggle with Euro-American systems of oppression and cultural erasure.

This book spans the full gamut from naming women’s experiences of historical trauma to their ongoing efforts at preserving and rebuilding their Native nations. The collection of essays is distinctive in its Indigenous hermeneutics in that it insists on a holistic view of time and place-based knowledge – the past still fully affects the present and gives the present depth and meaning beyond the linear flow of time.

This book also features American Indian and non-American Indian scholars who are well known in American Indians studies, scholars beginning their career and scholars who, while not experts in American Indians studies, are considered experts in other disciplines and who recognize the unique attributes of Southeastern American Indian nations.

Black Studies and Critical Thinking.

Vol. 9 hb. • ISBN 978-1-4331-2877-6 CHF 148.– / €D 131.60 / €A 135.30 / € 123.– / £ 98.– / US-$ 159.95 pb. • ISBN 978-1-4331-2876-9 CHF 38.– / €D 33.70 / €A 34.70 / € 31.50 / £ 25.– / US-$ 40.95

n its twenty-five years of existence, Teach For America (TFA) has transformed from an organization based on a perceived need to ameliorate a national teacher shortage to an organization that seeks to systematically replace traditional fully-certified teachers while simultaneously producing alumni who are interested in facilitating neoliberal education reform through elected political positions. From its inception, TFA has had its share of critics; yet criticism of the organization by its own members and alumni has largely been silenced and relegated to the margins.

This book – the first of its kind – provides alumni of TFA with the opportunity to share their insight on the organization. And perhaps more importantly, this collection of counter-narratives serves as a testament that many of the claims made by TFA are, in fact, myths that ultimately hurt teachers and students. No longer will alumni voices be silenced in the name of corporate and neoliberal education reform.

Mad Men and Working Women Feminist Perspectives on Historical Power, Resistance, and Otherness

N

New York, 2016. VII, 200 pp. pb. • ISBN 978-1-4331-3330-5 CHF 38.– / €D 33.70 / €A 34.70 / € 31.50 / £ 25.– / US-$ 40.95

ow available in paperback, and with a revised conclusion to reflect the end of the program, this book offers interpretive and contextual tools to read the AMC television series Mad Men, providing a much-needed historical explanation and exposition regarding the status of women in an era that has been painted as pre- or non-feminist.

In chapters aimed at helping readers understand women’s lives in the 1960s, Mad Men is used as a springboard to explore and discover alternative ways of seeing women. Offering more than a discussion of the show itself, the book offers historical insight for thinking about serious issues that «modern» working women continue to face today: balancing their work and personal lives, competing with other women, and controlling their own bodies and reproductive choices.

Rather than critiquing the show for portraying women as victims, the book shows subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways that feminism functioned in an era when women were supposedly caught between the «waves» of the women’s movement but when, the authors argue, they functioned nonetheless as empowered individuals.

By doing so, it provides historical context and analysis that complicates traditional interpretations by (1) exploring historical constructions of women’s work; (2) unpacking feminist and non-feminist discourses surrounding that work; (3) identifying modes of resistance; and (4) revisiting forgotten work coded as feminine.

T

he Jewish Press’ purpose is to promote Jewish Orthodoxy. The book explores this popular American Jewish newspaper and more precisely the development of the paper’s ideology over a period of forty years offering a new understanding of the phenomenon Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy must be understood as a dynamic concept continually changing as a result of historical developments and hegemonic struggles with other ideologies about telling the Jew in modern society how he is to understand himself and the surrounding world.

The Fantasy of Reality Critical Essays on The Real Housewives

W

ith over twenty different casts, multiple spin-off series, and five international locations, The Real Housewives franchise is a television phenomenon. The women on these shows have reinvented the soap opera diva and in doing so, have offered television viewers a new opportunity to embrace a loved, yet waning, genre. As the popularity and prevalence of the docu-drama genre of reality TV continues to increase, the time is ripe for a collection of this sort. The Fantasy of Reality: Critical Essays on The Real Housewives explores the series and the women of The Real Housewives through the lens of race, class, gender, sexuality, and place. The contributing authors use an expansive and impressive array of methodological approaches to examine particular aspects of the series, offering rich analysis and insight along the way. This collection takes seriously what some may mock and others adore. Chapters are both fun and informative, lending themselves well to Housewives fans and media scholars alike.

hy are fictional US presidents everywhere on screen? How do these constructs relate to our understanding of the presidency as an institution and the United States as a nation?

This book sheds new light on fictional representations of the leader of the United States by analysing key films and television series from the early 1990s to the present day. Combining textual analysis with close attention to political and historical contexts, it addresses the ways in which representations of the president have responded to a period of profound change in American politics and society, encompassing the end of the Cold War, 9/11 and the collapse of the economy.

Exploring the complex relationship between the political context and the generic, iconographic and narrative parameters upon which mainstream cinema and television are based, this book challenges the tendency to equate content with context. Instead, contemporary representations of the president are examined as critiques of, or reinforcements to, dominant conceptions of political leadership. The reasons behind the proliferation of images of the president during this period are explored, from the archetype in American genre cinema (Air Force One, Independence Day and Deep Impact) to the idealised fantasy figure in network television (The West Wing, 24 and Commander in Chief ). This book offers unique insights into the roles mainstream cinema and television continue to play in the reinforcement of mythological conceptions of the American presidency.

Reconfiguring the Modern American Lyric The Poetry of James Tate

Modern Poetry. Vol. 5 hb. • ISBN 978-3-03430-174-9 CHF 95.– / €D 65.40 / €A 67.20 / € 61.10 / £ 55.– / US-$ 94.95

ames Tate is one of America’s most respected and senior poets, whose influence is increasingly widespread. However, his whimsical play has long challenged critics to read him with any depth. After winning the Yale Prize in 1967 for his first book, The Lost Pilot, published when he was just twenty-three, Tate has since gone on to win major literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Tanning Prize for Lifetime Achievement from the Academy of American Poets.

This is the first monograph dedicated to Tate’s œuvre. The author provides a practical reading theory for Tate, complete with contextual frameworks. Close readings of Tate’s work are informed by the purposeful purposelessness of Kant, the surrealist debt to Breton, and the problems and pleasures of language as explored by Derrida. Tate’s great achievement is no less than a reconfiguring of the modern American lyric as a poetry of dramatic and dialogic narrative. Composed out of ‘odds and ends ... of no great moment’, as the poet himself writes, Tate’s work extends the varied American traditions of writers such as William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, John Berryman, and John Ashbery.

Family and Kinship in the United States Cultural Perspectives on Familial Belonging

T

he volume takes a close look at the forms and functions of family and kinship in cultural narratives in the United States. It analyzes social and cultural contexts of kinship and family membership, relations of family and nation on a metaphorical level, and the political discourses that regulate sexuality and reproduction. Representations of family and kinship inform all aspects of American life, which is prominently noticeable in politics, legislation, art, and the media. Family discourses are employed to communicate and negotiate constellations of power and they can serve to investigate differences, struggles, alliances, strategic endeavors, and innovative conceptualizations of kinship. The essays collected in this volume provide readings of texts across various genres that highlight the role of cultural production in reconfiguring paradigms of family and kinship in the US.

Ekphrastic Conceptualism in Postmodern British and American Novels Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Tom McCarthy

T

he relationship between the arts has fascinated people for centuries. Discussing the ancient notion of ekphrasis, this study examines the interpenetration of literary and non-literary art. Traditionally, ekphrasis is defined as a rhetorical device for the poetic description of a painting or a sculpture that has been steadily gaining attention in literary studies since the mid-twentieth century. Taking a close look at the works of Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Tom McCarthy, the author demonstrates how ekphrasis is useful for reading contemporary novels that feature non-representative, conceptual works of art.

Sovereign Stories Aesthetics, Autonomy and Contemporary Native American Writing

S

overeign Stories examines contemporary Native American writers’ engagement with various forms of cultural, political, and artistic sovereignty. The author considers literature’s ability to initiate vital discussions about tribal autonomy in modern America and suggests that innovative literary styles are a compelling articulation of the connection between aesthetic and political concerns. In so doing, he concentrates on fictional and poetic forms, the structure and imagery of which comment on indigenous autonomy, selfdetermination, and artistic activism. Offering original selective analysis of the fiction and poetry of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, Sherman Alexie, David Treuer, LeAnne Howe, Louise Erdrich, Greg Sarris, and Craig Womack, this book explores these tribal authors’ concern with intellectual and creative sovereignty and deftly links those interests to the broader cultural and political issues faced by Native American communities today.

The International Turn in American Studies

T

he volume is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the internationalization of American Studies. The essays by European, American and Latin American scholars provide critical evaluations of a wide range of concepts, including trans-national and postnational, international, trans-atlantic, trans-pacific, as well as hemispheric, inter-American and comparative American studies. Combining theoretical reflections and actual case studies, the collection proposes a reassessment of current developments at a time when American nations experience the paradoxical simultaneity of both weakened and strengthened national borders alongside multiple challenges to national sovereignty.

Norman Mailer and the Modernist Turn

T

his study is a comprehensive scholarly treatment of Norman Mailer’s entire œuvre, including not only his fiction and non-fiction, but also his correspondence, his early journal articles and his interviews. It outlines Mailer’s Entwicklungsgeschichte, illuminating the lines of continuity and discontinuity in his literary achievement and shows Mailer’s work to be firmly ensconced in the tradition of Modernism and inspired by the PoundEliot axis. It argues that Mailer’s literary opus is intertwined with his worldview, which, despite its inconsistencies and contradictions, contains a systematic structure.

Urban Spaces, Dreamscapes, Contested Territories In collaboration with Björn Bosserhoff

O

nce a center of transatlantic cultural exchange and the avant-garde arts, New York City has transformed into a global metropolis. This book traces a shift that took shape as cultural practices and media underwent dramatic changes: it takes us from modernist visions of urban sublimity to postmodernist cityscapes; from Hart Crane’s Brooklyn Bridge to the Flushing Meadows fairgrounds; from Mina Loy’s poetics to Klaus Nomi’s transgressive musical performances and Jem Cohen’s multimedia experiments; from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and the Magnum Photos portfolio to post-9/11 cinema and the photo blogs of the internet age. As we visit these urban spaces and dreamscapes, we enter territories that remain contested, dynamic locales in a city that keeps unfolding its transformative force.

ier comme aujourd’hui, le parrainage de baptême et la parenté spirituelle qui en découle constituent dans le monde chrétien un système d’alliances sociales entre familles et individus. Par-delà les motivations religieuses de l’institution baptismale, le parrainage est un instrument au service de stratégies sociales, économiques et politiques.

Depuis une dizaine d’années, les sciences sociales (histoire, anthropologie, sociologie et sciences politiques) ont fait de ce sujet un champ de recherches particulièrement dynamique à l’échelle internationale.

Cet ouvrage collectif réunit des contributions de chercheurs de onze pays européens et américains relevant de disciplines différentes. Il a pour ambition d’étudier les pratiques de parrainage dans une perspective de long terme allant du XVIe siècle à nos jours. Il propose, pour la première fois, des comparaisons sur des terrains locaux et entre les différentes confessions chrétiennes : catholicisme, orthodoxies et protestantismes. Il entend aussi mettre en perspective les réalités européennes anciennes avec les usages du parrainage tels que les ont importés mais surtout adaptés les sociétés coloniales d’Amérique. Ce livre constitue une étape dans une réflexion collective sur le parrainage qui intéressera tous ceux, chercheurs, acteurs publics, citoyens, qui réfléchissent à la construction du lien social dans les siècles passés et dans le monde contemporain. Il met en lumière la souplesse de cette institution qui a assuré jusqu’à aujourd’hui sa pérennité tout comme l’inventivité avec laquelle les populations s’en sont emparé.

The Shadow of Torture: Debating US Transgressions in Military Interventions, 1899–2008

T

he photographs from Abu Ghraib triggered a debate on torture in the United States that has been led with a significant amount of visibility. What has been noticeably absent, however, is a thorough historical contextualization of US torture following September 11, 2001. The Shadow of Torture analyzes the debates on torture during the Vietnam War and the Philippine-American War and shows that the current controversy did not arise out of a political vacuum but reflects and draws upon pre-existing discursive contexts and practices.

Foodscapes of Chinese America The Transformation of Chinese Culinary Culture in the U.S. since 1965

T

his book explores the transformation of Chinese food in the U.S. after 1965 from a cultural perspective. The author asks how Chinese food reflects the racial relation between the Chinese community and the mainstream white society and investigates the symbolic meanings as well as the cultural functions of Chinese food in America. She argues that food is not only a symbol that mirrors social relations, but also an agent which causes social and cultural change. A particular geographic focus of this book is California.

algré les nombreuses études portant sur la relation entre la Chine et les États-Unis, il est relativement peu fréquent que ces analyses abordent le concept de puissance.

Celui-ci, bien que souvent réduit à la dimension capacitaire des États, revêt pourtant une complexité théorique, laquelle reflète la richesse analytique de cette notion. En effet, outre les capacités, la puissance comprend des éléments de processus, de relation et de mobilisation des moyens. L’auteur, en construisant son étude autour de ce concept de puissance et en s’appuyant sur un grand nombre de références théoriques, illustrées par des cas pratiques, nous présente une approche à la fois originale dans sa dimension théorique, et nécessaire à une étude comparative de la Chine et des États-Unis.

Si la majorité des thèses actuelles défendent une situation de déclin des États-Unis et la fin de la suprématie de ces derniers sur la scène internationale, l’auteur prend le contrepied de ces positions en soutenant que les États-Unis continuent à tenir leur rôle de leader dans un nouvel ordre international. Le Professeur Struye suggère en ce sens une adaptation de ce rôle en fonction de l’émergence d’autres puissances, dont la Chine, avec comme objectif final de se maintenir en tant que numéro un. Ainsi, allant à contre-courant des études annonçant l’émergence chinoise, cet ouvrage défend in fine la thèse suivante : et si Washington continuait à dominer la scène internationale ?

his book wants to make Hungarian women writers accessible to an English-speaking public and presents interpretations of Hungarian and American literary texts by writers such as Margit Kaffka, Anna Lesznai, Jolán Földes, Zsuzsa Rakovszky, Agáta Gordon, Virág Erdős, Zsuzsa Forgács, Alaine Polcz, Gertrude Stein, Kathy Acker and Jhumpa Lahiri. In literary narratives it is possible to represent female political interests in a decentered narrative subjectivity. The book illustrates that literary narratives readily accept the contradictory nature of identity issues and create an exciting and complex network of articulating female voices.

A Policy History of StandardsBased Education in America

The (Re-)Making of a Black American

A Policy History of Standards-Based Education in America is a narrative history of the development of standards-based education in the United States over the last several decades, from the perspective of anarchist cultural studies. There have been other books on the evolution of federal education policy, but few have struck the right balance between describing how it actually happened while still providing a theoretical framework, and none have kept the focus specifically on standards-based education. These related books have also rightly noted the great diversity of players, factions, interest groups, and organizations that helped move federal education policy from «equity», to «excellence», to «accountability» over the last four decades. This book goes on to make the original claim (using a rigorous analysis of the historical record) that big business was the primary empirical driver behind standards-based education and «global economic competitiveness» was the primary ideological driver. Finally, the book concludes by interrogating the implicit claims embedded within global competitiveness ideology; that the present international economy will continue as it has indefinitely, which is mathematically impossible. Unless things change quickly, this planet is heading toward economic, environmental, and geostrategic shocks of the very first order of magnitude. An ecopedagogy for anarchist bioregions might be part of the solution.

The leading markets for this book will be major public and Division 1 research university libraries and university courses in education policy, education law, education history, political science, and public policy.

Tracing the Racial and Ethnic Socialization of Caribbean American Youth Historically, Blacks in the United States have been treated as a homogenous group with little regard for distinctions in ethnicity and immigrant status. However, the growing number of Black immigrants to the United States, and their location at the intersection of immigrant opportunity and racial barriers, has prompted increased interest in the group’s integration experiences. Grounded in the notion that racism is an inescapable marker of the Black experience in the United States, The (Re-)Making of a Black American explores the ways children of Black immigrants from the Englishspeaking Caribbean come to understand their racial and ethnic identities, given the socialization messages they receive from their parents and their experiences with institutionalized racism and racial hierarchies in a U.S. middle school. This book highlights the contradictions between parental and school socialization messages and the struggle that ensues as Caribbean American youth are forcibly (re-)made into a specific brand of Black Americans.

Black Feminism in Education Black Women Speak Back, Up, and Out In Black Feminism in Education: Black Women Speak Back, Up, and Out, authors use an endarkened feminist lens to share the ways in which they have learned to resist, adapt, and re-conceptualize education research, teaching, and learning in ways that serve the individual, community, nation, and all of humanity. Chapters explore and discuss the following question: How is Black feminist thought and/or an endarkened feminist epistemology (EFE) being used in pre-K through higher education contexts and scholarship to marshal new research methodologies, frameworks, and pedagogies? At the intersection of race, class, and gender, the book draws upon alternative research methodologies and pedagogies that are possibly transformative and healing for all involved in the research, teaching, and service experience. The volume is useful for those interested in women and gender studies, research methods, and cultural studies.

America’s Atonement

Reel Diversity

People Need to Know

Racial Pain, Recovery Rhetoric, and the Pedagogy of Healing

A Teacher’s Sourcebook

Confronting History in the Heartland

Second Edition The second edition of America’s Atonement: Racial Pain, Recovery Rhetoric, and the Pedagogy of Healing argues that racial pain is a driving force in contemporary race relations and is especially prevalent in social discourses on identity, fairness, and social justice. Despite its importance, racial pain is too often glossed over as mundane or disingenuous. For this reason, social justice activism and education are in danger of undermining the needs and opportunities to more effectively convey what has been called «difficult knowledge». This book highlights emergent examples of psychic and relational healing.

Revised Edition The first edition of Reel Diversity: A Teacher’s Sourcebook won the 2009 Phillip C. Chinn Book Award of the National Association for Multicultural Education. This revised edition is an updated resource guide for educators in secondary and university classrooms who desire to integrate mainstream and independent films into their instructional content about diversity and social justice. The book has transformed difficult dialogues in classrooms around the country by helping educators identify fulllength films and shorter film clips to enhance, energize, and motivate student learning.

Accessible and practical for both novice and advanced educators, the book provides a lexicon of twenty-five definitions that teachers and learners should understand about difference, awareness, and power. Assignments, classroom activities, and lecture notes highlight these definitions in ways that deeply impact students’ multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. Reel Diversity invites crosscultural dialogue about films’ mixed messages and how they enforce and reinforce cultural values. Students will emerge with a greater understanding of the educational value of this entertainment medium. The book is perfect for courses in mass media, film studies, American studies, mass communication, and media literacy.

People Need to Know follows a group of students as they study the defining event in their community’s history – a 1930 lynching that was captured in one of the century’s most iconic and disturbing photographs. With ambitions of contributing to public understanding, the students set out to create a collection of online resources about the lynching. As they encounter troubling information and consider how best to present it to others, the students come to better understand the complex ethical ramifications of historical work and to more fully appreciate why their learning matters. Through the stories of these students, their teacher, and an author re-immersed in the town of his own childhood, the book develops an approach to curriculum in which students create products of value beyond the school walls. In a time of educational standardization, when assignments and assessments often fail to deliberately engage the ethically charged and locally particular contexts of students’ lives, Robert M. Lucas proposes that we see learning in their creation and appreciation of public value. The book will be of particular interest for courses in curriculum studies and in history and social studies education.

Sarah Matsui

Learning from Counternarratives in Teach For America Moving from Idealism Towards Hope Grounded in the belief that hope comes from a place of reality, not necessarily popular ideology, this book explores the gap between designated and actual narratives within Teach For America. TFA founder Wendy Kopp stated that there is «nothing elusive» about successful teaching; people simply need to «work hard» and be «disciplined». Taking an inquiry stance, Sarah Matsui surveyed and interviewed 26 of her fellow corps members in the Greater Philadelphia region. Their counternarratives collectively problematize this standard reform rhetoric. Many are working hard, yet their stories and challenges are complex, elusive, and commonly self-described with the words «shame», «failure», and «isolating».

Corps members reported experiencing new levels of fatigue, alcohol dependency, depression, and trauma during their two-year service commitment with TFA. Learning from Counternarratives in Teach For America utilizes multiple frameworks to analyze the depth and range of corps members’ experiences. Relevant to helping professionals and people working to address constructed systems of inequity, this book ultimately advocates for a more honest, contextualized, and egalitarian approach to reform – one that openly addresses both individual and systemic realities.

Graduate Study in the USA Surviving and Succeeding The premise of this book is simple: if the chapter writers could go back in time and talk with themselves when they began their studies, what advice would they give? Isn’t hindsight a bonus? Each chapter offers this hindsight.

The chapters are not personal stories, but useful lessons learned through experience. These lessons are offered to aspiring and current graduate students to help their studies be successful. Chapters contain contributions from a range of academics and academic-practitioners, from those getting established in their careers to those that are more novice and emergent. Contributors include scholars from many universities throughout the United States, and they cover essential aspects of graduate study, such as writing and publishing, relationships with supervisors, utilizing rejection and critique, and becoming a researcher. Contributors write of studying for higher degrees and coping with family, illness, disability, and distance. Culture is bridged between Hispanic scholars and their colleagues in mainstream academia, and international students offer advice to those wanting to study at an American university. This book provides indispensable advice that every graduate student can utilize and follows on from the initial, successful publication of Postgraduate Study in Aotearoa New Zealand: Surviving and Succeeding (2014). The US edition is part of an international ‘survive and succeed’ series also being produced in Australia, the UK, and South Africa.

Identity, Social Activism, and the Pursuit of Higher Education The Journey Stories of Undocumented and Unafraid Community Activists The topic of immigration has become increasingly volatile in U.S. society, and undocumented college students play a central role in mobilizing and politicizing a critical mass of activists to push forth a pro-immigration agenda, in particular the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. The DREAM Act is the only federal legislation that would grant conditional citizenship and some financial aid assistance to undocumented students who have completed two years of college or enlist in military service. Since the DREAM Act failed to pass, undocumented students have moved from peaceful marches to acts of civil disobedience, seeking to disrupt the public discourse that positions undocumented students as living in the shadows of our system. Undocumented college students have created public forums in which they «come out» from these invisible images and pronounce themselves as «undocumented and unafraid».

Boyhood to Manhood Deconstructing Black Masculinity through a Life Span Continuum

Townsand Price-Spratlen

Nurturing Sanctuary Community Capacity Building in African American Churches

Boyhood to Manhood: Deconstructing Black Masculinity through a Life Span Continuum seeks to foster an open and honest discussion about the intersection of multiple identities found among Black males. The book explores topics such as what it means to be a Black male; race and ethnicity; health; [dis]ability; athletics; socioeconomic status; historical accounts; employment; religion and sexual identity.

Many Black men share the experience of being members of cultures that are guided by strict gendered norms. These norms often require men to conform to «masculine» behaviors, which may increase their levels of risktaking behavior, anxiety and fear of being ostracized should they fail to display the appropriate «male» skill sets. The ability to explore and embrace other possibilities for the ways that men can construct their personal and professional realities helps to enhance and broaden the ways in which men live their lives and seek opportunities. The qualitative, quantitative and historical data presented in this book provide new understandings of the experiences, roles and perspectives of Black men.

How are predominantly African American churches meeting the needs of young people?

What resources of, and tensions in, faith leadership are shaping answers to this and other related questions? Nurturing Sanctuary analyzes ways in which the two most vital institutions of the Black experience – families and churches – are working with schools and health providers to respond to contemporary challenges and improve the twenty-first century life chances of African Americans and others.

Data were generated from a four-year collaboration of eighteen churches, public health professionals, service learning students, and an interdisciplinary team of researchers. Eighty parents and pastors, and over 400 teenagers in a large, Midwestern city specified strategies of action in their daily lives and how they use them to respond, more and less successfully, to their many life challenges. Nurturing Sanctuary explores three capacity-building themes that emerged and critiques diverse Sacred and secular resources being developed and used. Finally, it specifies innovative best practices that are enriching faith-health relationships among religiously active persons, and all others with whom they interact within and beyond sanctuary walls.

Within critical discussions of school reform, researchers and activists are often of two camps. Some focus their analyses on neoliberal economic agendas, while others center on racial inequality. These analyses often happen in isolation, continuing to divide those concerned with educational justice into «It’s race!» vs. «It’s class!» camps. What’s Race Got To Do With It? brings together these frameworks to investigate the role that race plays in hallmark policies of neoliberal school reforms such as school closings, high-stakes testing, and charter school proliferation. The group of scholar activist authors in this volume were selected because of their cutting-edge racial economic analysis, understanding of corporate reform, and involvement in grassroots social movements. Each author applies a racial economic framework to inform and complicate our analysis of how market-based reforms collectively increase wealth inequality and maintain White supremacy. In accessible language, contributors trace the historical context of a single reform, examine how that reform maintains and expands racial and economic inequality, and share grassroots stories of resistance to these reforms. By analyzing current reforms through this dual lens, those concerned with social justice are better equipped to struggle against this constellation of reforms in ways that unite rather than divide.

Intentional Excellence

Fighting for Our Place in the Sun

The Pedagogy, Power, and Politics of Excellence in Latina/o Schools and Communities

Malcolm X and the Radicalization of the Black Student Movement 1960–1973

Are we bold enough to recognize our own excellence in our schools and communities? This question drives Intentional Excellence, an audacious attempt at developing a Pedagogy of Excellence in Latina/o schools and communities as a result of observations, insights, and lessons learned from work with schools and communities across the United States. Louie F. Rodríguez argues that while there is no shortage of excellence in some of the schools and communities that struggle the most, there is a pedagogical void, or an Excellence Paradox, that has disallowed excellence from being used as a potential tool to transform the culture of education. This book offers an additive framework for committed stakeholders and outlines six key observations including the contagious nature of excellence, excellence as a responsibility, the political viability of excellence, the additive possibilities of excellence, the role of excellence as a curricular and pedagogical tool, and the role of excellence in working toward equity and social justice in education. Rodríguez discusses a series of case studies that have used Excellence Campaigns to organize, define, and recognize their own excellence. The book also discusses the possibilities of excellence beyond education and proposes a new role in education to make excellence happen: Excellence Engineers. The book concludes with a theory of action that is necessary for excellence to thrive in the twenty-first century. Our children and communities deserve to see themselves as «models of excellence» and this book proposes a pedagogy to help get us there.

In Fighting for Our Place in the Sun, Richard D. Benson II examines the life of Malcolm X as not only a radical political figure, but also as a teacher and mentor. The book illuminates the untold tenets of Malcolm X’s educational philosophy, and also traces a historical trajectory of Black activists that sought to create spaces of liberation and learning that are free from cultural and racial oppression. It explains a side of the Black student movement and shift in black power that develops as a result of the student protests in North Carolina and Duke University. From these acts of radicalism, Malcolm X Liberation University (MXLU), the Student Organization for Black Unity (SOBU/YOBU), and African Liberation Day (ALD) were produced to serve as catalysts to extend the tradition of Black activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Scholars, researchers, community organizers, and students of African-American studies, American studies, history of education, political science, Pan-African studies, and more will benefit from this provocative and enlightening text.

The Plight of Invisibility A Community-Based Approach to Understanding the Educational Experiences of Urban Latina/os The Plight of Invisibility offers unique contributions that inform the use of a communitybased research approach that examines educational issues identified by urban, Latina/o communities. It offers a new lens from which to understand the circumstances of Latina/o students in schools as they navigate in social systems that are in opposition to them, thus rendering Latina/o students and their families invisible. Despite these challenges, the book offers examples of community programs and resources that support and address the needs of Latina/o students as they build resiliency and determination to persist. Community organizations and advocates, educational researchers, practitioners, students, and policymakers will find The Plight of Invisibility useful to reframe deficit discourses about Latina/o students and their families. In addition, the book is appropriate for classes including methodology courses focused on community-based research, educational policy and/or college access courses, and Latina/o studies courses.

The ESPN Effect

A New Form of Representation or Depictions as Usual?

Exploring the Worldwide Leader in Sports

Black Women in Reality Television Docusoaps explores representations of Black women in one of the most powerful, popular forms of reality television – the docusoap. Viewers, critics, and researchers have taken issue with what they consider to be unflattering, one-dimensional representations. This book discusses images of Black women in reality television during the 2011 viewing year, when much criticism arose. These findings provide a context for a more recent examination of reality television portrayals during 2014, following many reality stars’ promises to offer new representations. The authors discuss the types of images shown, potential readings of such portrayals, and the implication of these reality television docusoap presentations. The book will be useful for courses examining topics such as popular culture; mass media and society; women’s studies; race and media; sex and gender; media studies; African American issues in mass communication; and gender, race and representation, as well as other graduate-level classes.

ESPN has grown from a start-up cable network in a small Connecticut town to a $50 billion global enterprise. For the past 35 years, ESPN – along with its sister networks – has been the preeminent source for sports for millions around the globe. Its 24-hour coverage of sports news and programming has cultivated generations of sports consumers, utilizing multiple ESPN platforms for news and entertainment. The pervasiveness of the company’s branded content has influenced how sports fans think and feel about the people who play and control these games. In The ESPN Effect, leading sports media scholars examine ESPN and its impact on culture, sports journalism, audience, and the business of sports media.

The final part of the book considers the future of ESPN, beginning with an interview with Chris LaPlaca, ESPN senior vice president.

As the first academic text dedicated to the self-proclaimed «worldwide leader in sports», this book contributes to the growth of sports media research and provides a starting point for scholars examining the present and future impact of ESPN.

Snatched Child Abductions in U.S. News Media Few crimes provoke the collective fear, public outrage, and media fascination that child abductions do. Stories about missing children capture national headlines and dominate public discourses about crime and deviance, child safety, parenting, the American family, and gender and sexuality.

Snatched is the first book-length study to interrogate the predominant myths centered on gender and class that shaped mainstream U.S. news coverage of kidnappings in the 2000s.

Through an exploration of hundreds of reports from newspapers, news magazines, television broadcasts, and web stories, Snatched critically analyzes how news narratives construct the phenomenon of child abductions, the young girls and boys who fall victim, the male perpetrators of these horrific crimes, and the adult victims of long-term abductions who were found years later. The book’s interdisciplinary nature, methodological rigor, and thorough investigation into some of the most riveting and revolting crimes of the last decade make Snatched a worthy, important, and timely contribution to the fields of media studies and girlhood studies.

The Cinema of the Swimming Pool

Between Hollywood and Godlywood

The Paradigm Case

The Case of Walden Media The swimming pool frequently appears in film not merely as a setting but as a dynamic site where social, political, cultural and aesthetic forces converge. What is it about this space that has so fascinated filmmakers and what kinds of cinematic investigations does it encourage? This collection features essays by an eclectic, international range of film researchers. Amongst the works analysed are classics such as The Cameraman (1928), The Philadelphia Story (1940) and La Piscine (1969); cult hits such as The Swimmer (1968) and Deep End (1970); and more recent representations of the pool in Water Lilies (2007), Sea Point Days (2009) and Ausente (2011). The pool is considered as a realm where artifice meets nature, where public meets private, where sexualities morph and blend; and as a space that reconfigures the relationship between architecture and narrative, in which themes of pollution, spectacle and reflexivity find unique expression.

Approaching the swimming pool from a wide range of methodological perspectives, the essays in this collection stake a claim for the enduring significance of this exciting cinematic space.

The Cinema of Hitchcock and the Contemporary Visual Arts

With a Foreword by Terry Lindvall This book sheds new light on the relationship between conservative Christianity and Hollywood through a case study of Walden Media, which produced The Chronicles of Narnia franchise. Financed by a conservative Christian, Walden Media is a unique American company producing educational and family-friendly films with inspiring, moral, redemptive and uplifting stories. However, there is more to Walden than meets the eye and the company reflects wider trends within contemporary American society. Drawing on film industry data, film study guides and marketing campaigns targeting mainstream and conservative Christian audiences in the United States and abroad, this book reflects on Walden Media’s first ten years of activity as well as on the relationship between Hollywood and conservative Christians, notably evangelicals, at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Though both worlds are still wary of one another, this study shows that Walden Media films, and particularly The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, have tread a workable path between Hollywood and «Godlywood», albeit within the constraints of the now global film business.

With the migration of cinema into the art gallery, artists have been turning, with remarkable regularity and ingenuity, to Alfred Hitchcock-related images, sequences and iconography. The world of Hitchcock’s cinema – a classical cinema of formal unities and narrative coherence – represents more than the spectre of a supposedly dead art form: it transcends its own filmic and institutional contexts, becoming an important audio-visual lexicon of desire, loss, mystery and suspense.

Through a detailed study of the Hitchcockrelated work of artist-filmmakers Matthias Müller and Christoph Girardet, Johan Grimonprez, Pierre Huyghe, Douglas Gordon and Atom Egoyan, this book facilitates a dialogue between the creative appropriation of Hitchcock’s films and the cinematic practices that increasingly inform the wider field of the contemporary visual arts. Each chapter is structured around a consideration of how the artwork in question has reconfigured or ‘remade’ key Hitchcockian expressive elements and motifs – in particular, the relationship between mise en scène and the mechanics of suspense, time, memory, history and death. In a career that extended across silent and sound eras as well as the British, European and Hollywood industries, Hitchcock’s film œuvre can be seen as a history of the cinema itself.

As the work of these contemporary artist-filmmakers shows, it was also a history of the future, a paradigm case par excellence.

Movies Change Lives Pedagogy of Constructive Humanistic Transformation Through Cinema Movies Change Lives is a rigorous interdisciplinary examination of cinema as a vehicle for personal and social transformation. Interdisciplinary scholar Tony Kashani builds a theory of humanistic transformation by discussing many movies while engaging the works of philosopher/psychologist Erich Fromm, cultural studies theorist Stuart Hall, critical pedagogy theorist Henry Giroux, political philosopher Hannah Arendt, the great French thinker Edgar Morin, the pioneering psychologist Carl Jung, the co-founder of string theory, physicist Michio Kaku, and Frankfurt School philosopher Jürgen Habermas, among others.

The book argues that in the globalized world of the twenty-first century, humanity is in dire need of personal and social transformation. Movies have universal appeal and can deeply affect their audiences in a short time.

Coupled with critical pedagogy, they can become tools of personal and social transformation. Movies Change Lives is an ideal text for graduate and upper-division undergraduate courses on film (cinema) and society, visual culture, consciousness studies, transformative studies, media and social change, advanced personal and social psychology, and political philosophy.

World War I from Local Perspectives: History, Literature and Visual Arts Austria, Britain, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Poland and the United States The volume explores the ways in which the Great War has been remembered and imaged in various local accounts. It provides careful readings of a wide range of sources: letters exchanged by Henry James and Burgess Noakes, spoken accounts of the Old Believers of the Russian Orthodox Church, historical documents concerning Eastern Europe and the United States, travel writings by Fritz Wertheimer, Hermann Struck, and Herbert Eulenberg, literary texts by Lord Dunsany, Miroslav Krleža, and Gustav Meyrink, theater performances in Italy and Ireland and visual arts: masks for facially disfigured soldiers made by Francis Derwent Wood and Anna Coleman Ladd.

Transatlantic Crossings and Transformations German-American Cultural Transfer from the 18th to the End of the 19th Century This volume attempts for the first time a comprehensive view of the momentous process of German-American cultural transfer during the 18th and 19th centuries, which played an important part in the formation of an American national and cultural identity, a process to which the New England Transcendentalists contributed some of the decisive ingredients, but which has largely escaped the attention of German and American scholarship. In each chapter a specific problem is treated systematically from a clearly defined perspective, deficiencies of existing translation theories are exposed, so that in the concluding chapters 13 and 14 (with an unpublished memorandum by Alexander von Humboldt) a cohesive view of the entire process emerges. A comprehensive bibliography will facilitate further scholarly pursuits.

How to Become Jewish Americans?

Inklusion im Englischunterricht

The A Bintel Brief Advice Column in Abraham Cahan’s Yiddish Forverts Created by Abraham Cahan in 1906, the advice column A Bintel Brief ran as the most enduring feature of the New York Yiddish newspaper Forverts for over seven decades. This study takes a closer look at the letters and responses to A Bintel Brief thereby revealing the hardships of uprooted Eastern European Jews.

In an uncharted environment they turned to the column for guidance. In his answers, the editor of The Bintel Brief was always sympathetic, yet pragmatic, encouraging assimilation and ethnic group solidarity, thus paving the way for the readers to become accepted Jewish Americans.

Constituting Americanness A History of the Concept and Its Representations in Antebellum American Literature This work in cultural history and literary criticism suggests a fresh and fruitful approach to the old notion of Americanness. Following Reinhart Koselleck’s Begriffsgeschichte, the author proposes that Americanness is not an ordinary word, but a concept with a historically specific semantic field. In the three decades before the Civil War, Americanness was constituted at the intersection of several concepts, in different stages of their respective histories; among these, nation, representation, individualism, sympathy, race, and womanhood. By tracing the representations of these concepts in literary texts of the antebellum era and investigating their overlapping with the rhetoric of national identification, this study uncovers some of the meaning of Americanness in that period.

The Racial Horizon of Utopia Unthinking the Future of Race in Late Twentieth-Century American Utopian Novels Race and utopia have been fundamental features of US American culture since the origins of the country. However, racial ideology has often contradicted the ideals of social and political equality in the United States. This book surveys reimaginings of race in major late twentieth-century US American utopian novels from the 1970s to the 1990s. Dorothy Bryant, Marge Piercy, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler and Kim Stanley Robinson all present radical new configurations of race in a more ideal society, yet continually encounter an ideological blockage as the horizon beyond which we cannot rethink race. Nevertheless, these novels create productive strains of thinking to grapple with the question of race in US American culture. Drawing on feminist theory and critiques of democracy, the author argues that our utopian dreams cannot be furthered unless we come to terms with the phenomenology of race and the impasse of the individual in liberal humanist democracy.

Poetics and Politics of Place in Pastoral

Contact and Conflict in English Studies

International Perspectives In a time of global environmental crisis, pastoralism may seem beside the point. Yet pastoral ideals are still alive even though they often manifest themselves by ironic indirection. What can the pastoral tradition teach us about our ties to particular places?

The contributors to this volume attempt to lay the groundwork for the ongoing concern with pastoral and with its critical revision.

This volume brings together new essays that focus on painting, photography, poetry, essay, fiction and film, from the Renaissance to the present. They also take into account an astonishing variety of pastoral places, in Europe, Africa, and North America; country and city; suburbia and industrial zones.

Poetics and Politics Place in of Pastoral is not only about reassessing the past, but also provides a sense of future developments as the pastoral reinvents itself for the 21st century.

Oxford, 2016. VI, 226 pp.

The book presents contributions to the 2012 conference of the Austrian Association of University Teachers of English in which scholars of various fields of English Studies discuss aspects of contact and conflict in Anglophone literatures, critical theory, cultural studies, interdisciplinary and comparative English studies and English linguistics. The papers reflect current research in these areas and show that disciplinary classifications are no longer as rigid as they used to be: Topics are as widely spread as linguistic variation, Māori English, English as a lingua franca, intergenerational conflict, hip hop discourse, literature and the creative arts, science drama, childhood in crime fiction, and the crisis of «high art».

Playing with Expectations

Linguistic and Literary Theories in Reading

Postmodern Narrative Choices and the African American Novel Playing with Expectations: Postmodern Narrative Choices and the African American Novel explores a merging of works by African American novelists to promote critical acceptance of postmodern literature and advance the legitimacy and usefulness of postmodern literary techniques. This book examines novels by Ishmael Reed, Charles Johnson, and Toni Morrison, and two novels by comparative newcomer Colson Whitehead – all of whom have used postmodern techniques not only to help their work be read, but to gain a racially wide audience that is open, willing, and able to understand.

Jean-François Lyotard’s concept of local narratives and grand narratives helps show how African American novels, using postmodern strategies, function as small-scale narratives.

Consequently, these narratives, set up in opposition to hegemonic metanarratives, offer readers an alternative mode of thinking to that offered by the larger, more widely diffused and self-distributing grand narratives. By providing realistic characters in ways that defy the typical grand narratives of race, as well as the expectations of storytelling itself, readers are stimulated into new realizations about previously accepted ideas, and become prepared to spread the now-realized truth about the inaccuracies of the racist grand narratives.

This book is a vital and thought-provoking addition to the ongoing conversation about storytelling and race, and will engage readers in classroom discussions dealing with race, postmodernism, or twentieth-century literature in a more general sense.

The purpose of this book is to present to scholars, students and enthusiasts in the fields of literature and linguistics a way to study a text analytically. Reading is multi-faceted and shaped by contexts, participants, and technologies. The ways of reading tackled most enthusiastically in this book are interpretations which show active involvement of readers: Each literary or linguistic approach can be compared to a window through which we see, grapple, comprehend, personalize and internalize the text, hence the world.

Transatlantic Poe

Narrating Ancient Egypt

Eliot, Williams and Huxley, Readers of the French Poe

The Representation of Ancient Egypt in Nineteenth-Century and EarlyTwentieth-Century Fantastic Fiction

Art, Literature, and the Japanese American Internment

Was Edgar Allan Poe’s work vulgar or a «new specimen of beauty»? Did he represent a critical puzzle for his influential readers or a basis for redefining American literature? This book offers a new understanding of Poe’s literary significance by considering the transatlantic reception of the author in French translation.

The translation of Poe into French by Charles Baudelaire ennobled Poe aesthetically and catalysed a wave of critical responses to his work across the Atlantic in the early twentieth century. Readings by T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams and Aldous Huxley here become the focus of transatlantic analysis.

Contrastive close readings of key essays in which these Anglophone writers engaged with the French Poe set out to achieve two things: first, they shed new light on the constitution of Poe’s commanding critical reputation; secondly, they test comparative methodology as the primary tool of transatlantic enquiry. Situated within an expanding body of Poe scholarship but atypical in design, this book promises to bring about unexpected insights by systematically relating and comparing French and Anglophone discourses.

Ancient and modern Egypt feature in numerous fantastic stories by Victorian and Edwardian writers. This book explores how works of popular Egyptianising fantastic literature can be read as critical texts which comment on the Oriental mind-set of Europe, and especially Britain. The analysis of the genre and the discussion of possible reasons for the frequent use of Egyptianising elements show that Egypt was simultaneously a real and an imagined place – a perfect ingredient to create gothic stories and magical events, and, at the same time, of specific interest to Great Britain for cultural and political reasons.

On John Okada’s No-No Boy How can art, how can prose and poetry originate in spite of the restraints of manipulation, propaganda, and censorship? This study explores such issues by focusing on the cultural trajectory of Japanese American internment, both during and after World War II. Previously unknown documents as well as interviews with friends and family reveal new aspects of John Okada’s (1923–1971) life and writing, providing a comprehensive biographical outline of the author. The book refutes the assumption that Okada’s novel No-No Boy was all but shunned when first published in 1957. A close reading as well as a comparative study involving Italo Calvino’s (1923–1985) Six Memos for the Next Millennium (1985) position Okada’s only book as world literature.

Rewriting Academia The Development of the Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies of Continental Europe From a historical perspective, the full academic establishment of Women’s and Gender Studies is a radical and far-reaching innovation. Decisive impulses have come from the United States, the European unification and globalization. European Women’s and Gender Studies are therefore intimately linked to the English language and Anglophone cultures, as the near untranslatability of «gender» shows.

In this volume 25 experts present surveys for their countries with a historical and European contextualization and offer fundamental insights not only for English Studies but also various other disciplines.

Last Things: Essays on Ends and Endings

Dramatic Minds

This multidisciplinary collection brings together scholars from the fields of literature, theology and linguistics who question and extend our taken-for-granted conceptions of The End. It focuses on the ways in which endings are formally signaled in literature, and sets these alongside parallel studies in journalism and film. However, it is also concerned with larger philosophical and historical notions of closure, impermanence, rupture and apocalypse as well as the possibilities of «posthumous» being. It gives examples from fairytales, Byron, Longfellow, Dillard, Barnes and South African writers.

Performance, Cognition, and the Representation of Interiority Essays in Honour of Margarete Rubik This volume seeks to put drama and its neglected mental dimension into the limelight.

While narrative fiction with its intricate ways of rendering consciousness has been deemed an ideal playground for approaches of a cognitivist leaning, the dramatic genre has been all but ignored by cognitive literary studies.

Providing insights into such drama-related issues as subject construction, interiority, performativity, empathy, reader manipulation and reception control, the contributions to this collection testify to the richness and variety of the cognitivist enterprise.

Narrating North American Borderlands

The contributors understand the wild zone as denoting the existence and experience of a group (ethnic, social, sub-cultural, sexual, religious, etc.) which is/was marginalized in American society. Reaching far beyond the boundaries of original agenda (Edwin Ardener’s and Elaine Showalter’s), the term’s applicability has been significantly enlarged. Its fluidity or fuzziness, however, ought to be taken as a blessing: in the rapidly changing contemporary («liquid») world it is the language that needs to keep up with new circumstances and developments, not the other way round.

Untersuchungen zur inter- und intrakulturellen Übertragbarkeit poetologischer und kunsttheoretischer Prinzipien Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem amerikanischen Dichter Ezra Pound, einem der wichtigsten Vertreter der literarischen Moderne.

Seine epochalen Theorien des Imagismus und Vortizismus sind die Apizes der Ismen des fin de siècle; seine dichterischen Prinzipien und Methoden der Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung einer Kunst und Literatur für das neue 20. Jahrhundert. Diese Studie untersucht, wie sich seine Lyrik als ein dem Sinnhaften entgegengestellter, extratextlicher Gegenstand fixieren lässt und ob sich eine unmittelbare Verbindung zwischen Pounds Lyrik und physischer Präsenz herstellen lässt. Erstens als Wiederbelebung des klassischen Ideals ut pictura poesis und zweitens als Grundlage der Materialitätsdebatte, die ein zentrales Paradigma der modernen literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung ist.

Thomas King, Howard F. Mosher and Jim Lynch The study centers on the presentation of the North American borderlands in the works of Canadian Native writer Thomas King’s Truth & Bright Water (1999), American writer Howard Frank Mosher’s On Kingdom Mountain (2007), and American writer Jim Lynch’s Border Songs (2009). The three authors describe the peoples and places in the northeastern, middle and northwestern border regions of the USA and Canada. The novels address important border-oriented aspects such as indigeneity, the borderlands as historic territory and as utopian space, border crossing and transcendence, post-9/11 security issues, social interaction along the border, and gender specifics.

The interpretation also examines the meaning of border imaginaries, border conceptualizations, and the theme of resistance and subversion.

Scotland 2014 and Beyond – Coming of Age and Loss of Innocence?

The impact of socio-cultural learning tasks on students’ foreign grammatical language awareness

This book examines Scotland from a great variety of international and disciplinary perspectives, offering viewpoints from ordinary citizens as well as experts in culture, history, literature, sociology, politics, the law, and the media. The texts investigate the mental processes, dispositions, and activities that have been involved in past and present discussions about Scottish independence, freedom, equality, justice, and the creation of a fair society.

Such discussions have been shaped by specific values, ideologies, class or personal interests and objectives as well as by specific ways of telling their stories. These are analysed together with the European, global, and democratic dimensions of Scotland, in order to find answers to the question how coming of age might be achieved today.

A study conducted in German post-DESI EFL classrooms

The Literary Images of Frederick Rolfe Drawing on theories of biography and autobiography, including the works of Philippe Lejeune, Michel Foucault, and Philip Roth, Rolfe, Rose, Corvo, Crabbe attempts to tackle the issue of Frederick Rolfe’s image. Like many other authors, Rolfe (1860–1913), also known as Baron Corvo, wanted to influence the way others see him through his works. However, the image he wanted to project was skewed by A.J.A. Symons’ fascinating, yet inaccurate, biography, The Quest for Corvo, which popularized a strongly autobiographical approach to his work. Analysing the issue, this book takes into consideration his biographies, his selffashioning in his letters, and his novels, particularly focusing on the characters who were heavily inspired by his own experiences, such as Nicholas Crabbe and George Arthur Rose.

The book introduces an innovative way of teaching grammatical language awareness via socio-cultural learning tasks (SCLTs). It takes a close look at task-supported teaching/ learning and socio-cultural learning theory and how they are combined to develop challenging and motivating learning tasks. It also presents ways to implement SCLTs in heterogeneous EFL classrooms and evaluates the learning potential of SCLTs against the backdrop of a more traditional teaching and learning approach (PPP). Besides the illumination of the very promising concept of SCLTs, the applied qualitative and quantitative research methods hope to be a valuable contribution to SLA research.

Imagining Bombay, London, New York and Beyond

Narratives of the Self

Constructing Scottish Identity in Media Discourses

South Asian Diasporic Writing from 1990 to the Present

This book explores the many interdependencies and crossovers between living and writing, or, in more specific terms, between writers’ lives on the one hand and their literary output on the other. Thematically divided into four major parts, the book focuses on different literary concerns and discusses literary works from the 17th century to the present day.

The first part approaches the issue of autobiography and biography, the second part takes a close look at travel writing, while the third discusses various lives in fiction and the fourth deals with confessional writing.

The Use of Common Sense Knowledge in the Scottish Press

This book examines new literary imaginings of the interconnected city spaces of Bombay, London and New York in South Asian diasporic texts from the 1990s to the present. It charts the transition from London-centric studies on postcolonial city spaces to the new axis of Bombay, London and New York.

The book argues that two key dynamics have developed from this shift: on the one hand, London, once the destination of choice for migrants, becomes a «transit zone» for onward movement to New York; on the other, different cities are perceived to coexist and come together in one single location. To investigate these new webs of interactions and power relations, this monograph employs Bakhtin’s model of the chronotope. Serving as a magnifying lens, the chronotope inserts different spatial and temporal segments within wider narratives of urban space. This book promotes a new understanding of the cities of the South Asian diaspora as subversive sites for defining processes of cultural signification.

Scotland’s efforts to establish and assert its distinct national identity have a long tradition. National identity has been a central theme throughout the centuries in a country where economic, political, and social issues have tended to be closely bound up with questions of national mentality and emotion. This book examines the part played by Scottish newspapers in constructing identity during a key period of the devolution process, 1997–2011.

It uses insights from the fields of cultural and media studies, sociology, cognitive science and narratology into the ways in which culturally defined knowledge and the notions of identity emerging from it have been constructed. The study contributes to the understanding of Scottish identity, and its evaluations are relevant beyond the immediate context of Scotland and the United Kingdom.

Image in Modern(ist) Verse

Fictionalizing the World

Constructionist Experiential Learner-Enhanced Teaching in English for Academic Purposes

Rethinking the Politics of Literature This collection of essays is a tribute to Andrzej Kopcewicz, the first professor ordinarius of American literature in the history of English studies in Poland. It coincides with the centenary of Imagism and what would have been Professor Kopcewicz’s 80th birthday. The title alludes to his first book which was devoted to the image and the objective correlative in early 20th-century Anglo-American poetry. Image in Modern(ist) Verse opens with a revised and abridged version of that publication. Kopcewicz’s study can be still read as a useful historical, theoretical, and practical introduction to modern poetry.

The bulk of the volume is made up of contributions by contemporary academics – Paulina Ambroży, Joseph Kuhn, Paweł Stachura, Jørgen Veisland, and Miłosz Wojtyna – who discuss various facets, strands and sub-strands of Imagism, as well as its ongoing legacy.

The book offers ten essays which explore the interaction between literature and politics.

The authors investigate a variety of genres including young-adult fiction, national poetry, novels, autobiography, and performance art from different time periods ranging from the 18th up to the 21st century from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Grouped in three sections, the essays focus on the relationship between fiction and identity; the creation of spaces of/in fiction; and the interplay of irony and fiction. They reveal that fiction has a fundamental potential not only to react to but also to affect and shape the world.

This offers a possibility to negotiate and reimagine the ways in which we perceive the world and position ourselves within it.

This book offers a macrostrategy for teaching English as a foreign language to students in tertiary degree programmes. This teaching strategy has been developed from various methodological currents in higher education and language didactics. The volume provides inspiration, ideas and practical examples for ESP and EAP professionals anywhere in the world and hopes to motivate learners across disciplines. It takes subject-specific requirements into consideration and is a methodology handbook open to the diversity of EAP teaching contexts. It may serve as a textbook in applied linguistics, English studies and teacher education.

Characters in Literary Fictions

Comunidades efímeras

The book focuses on the category of character in fiction. It provides a general outline of different approaches to literary character followed by nineteen essays on individual authors from Conrad to Coetzee, on various genres from utopia, fantasy and gothic fiction to academic novel, and on characters’ extra-textual contexts from intertextuality to history and autobiography.

Frankfurt am Main, 2015. 322 pp., 1 b/w fig.

Grupos de vanguardia y neovanguardia en la novela hispanoamericana del siglo XX Comunidades efímeras estudia una de las vetas más interesantes, y menos visitadas por la crítica, de la imaginación literaria hispanoamericana: la representación novelística de pequeños grupos de vanguardia y neovanguardia que transforman la vida en arte, conspiran contra las instituciones oficiales y experimentan con nuevos modelos de existencia social. Este libro ofrece lecturas críticas de la imagen ficcional de estos grupos en novelas de Roberto Arlt, Leopoldo Marechal, Julio Cortázar, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Fernando del Paso y Roberto Bolaño. Comunidades efímeras propone que el etos de las vanguardias históricas es transfigurado en el contexto hispanoamericano por dichos cenáculos, los cuales llevan a cabo el doble proyecto de estetizar su vida comunitaria y de producir campos culturales alternativos, extraoficiales, tal vez secretos. En estos espacios de alteridad estética y vital, se desafían los relatos hegemónicos del arte, la política y la pertenencia nacional. Comunidades efímeras será de interés para los investigadores de la novela hispanoamericana, la vanguardia y las neovanguardias, y los estudios latinoamericanos en general.

La religión, las letras y las luces El factor religioso en la Ilustración española e hispanoamericana Desde perspectivas provenientes de la Filología, la Historia y la Filosofía, esta colección intenta reevaluar el factor religioso en el Siglo de las Luces español e hispanoamericano. Sondea los puntos esenciales de la crítica a la religión durante la revolución científica y la Ilustración en un contexto en el cual el catolicismo era omnipresente. Se investiga asimismo el impacto del ideario ilustrado en las esferas de la ciencia y de la literatura, dos esferas que empezaron a distanciarse de la religión en esta época. ¿De qué fuentes y géneros textuales se sirvieron los pensadores ilustrados y sus opositores? ¿Qué estrategias retóricas utilizaron? ¿Existe una influencia de la moral cristiana en las transformaciones de las normas poéticas?

Mito, historia y arquetipo en tres dramaturgas iberoamericanas

Giuseppe Antonio Borgese, un antifascista in America

Lourdes Ortiz, Sabina Berman y Diana Raznovich Este libro examina seis obras que representan en escena tanto la sociedad latinoamericana como la peninsular, y dan voz a la desestabilización de los discursos hegemónicos de género, mostrando la arbitrariedad de los mismos. Las autoras elegidas para el análisis son la española Lourdes Ortiz, la mexicana Sabina Berman y la argentina Diana Raznovich. Las dramaturgas estudiadas abordan desde diferentes puntos de vista: el mito, la historia y el arquetipo, los intereses que esconde la ideología dominante, con el propósito común de cuestionar los discursos que dictan el comportamiento genérico e imponen un sistema de desigualdades genéricas y sexuales. Las obras recogidas en este estudio son: ElectraBabel (1992) y Fedra (2013), de Lourdes Ortiz; Águila o sol (1985) y Entre Villa y una mujer desnuda (1995), de Sabina Berman; y Casa matriz (1988) y De atrás para adelante (2000), de Diana Raznovich.

Attraverso il carteggio inedito con Giorgio La Piana (1932–1925) Le vicende storiche dalla dittatura di Mussolini fino allo scoppio e termine della II Guerra Mondiale con i primi anni della ricostruzione postbellica fanno da macrosfondo al rapporto d’amicizia epistolare tra due intellettuali italiani emigrati negli Stati Uniti, Giuseppe Antonio Borgese (1882–1952) e Giorgio La Piana (1878–1971).

Due siciliani in terra americana: da una parte il celebre autore di Rubé (1921), primo allievo di Croce, strenuo oppositore del fascismo; dall’altra un prete modernista, docente di storia della Chiesa ad Harvard, che si prodiga per integrare Borgese nel sistema americano.

In un ampio arco temporale (1932–1952) si racconta l’esilio americano di Borgese, il suo interesse per la situazione politica italiana ed europea, per le vicende culturali e le sorti degli intellettuali contrari al regime.

Inventing the Rhetoric of Slavery, the Verbal Sanctuaries Which Sustain It, and How It Was Used to Sanitize American Slavery’s History This book by David K. O’Rourke presents a study of language and linguistic forms and the roles they played in the initial imagining, developing, and maintaining of a society based on coerced labor. It focuses especially on the contexts of coercion and on the differences in the roles of masters and servants from society to society. In the interaction between colonial powers and conquered peoples, O’Rourke also describes how the European colonial nations imposed their own languages, social metaphors, and utopian views as a way to disconnect those they conquered from their historic roots and re-imagine, redefine, rename, and map them into new lands and places inhabited by inferior peoples needing control by masters who understand how they should now live.

O’Rourke begins by describing how this rewriting of history is not new. He calls on wellestablished classical and biblical language studies to describe how older and historic oral histories and texts were rewritten to reshape the past to fit new and more useful views. He explains how rhetoric, metaphor, and pseudo-sciences were used to change Europe’s earlier contracted and coerced labor in colonial America into the chattel slavery that became the hallmark of the new and growing United States.

Linguistic Construction of Ethnic Borders This volume focuses on the linguistic constructs involved in ethnic borders. Ethnic borders have proven themselves to be surprisingly long-lived: in nearly all European countries and beyond, border demarcation, exclusion of foreigners, and minority conflicts are some of the most persistent challenges for nations and societies. Which linguistic factors play a role in the formation of these borders, especially those drawn along ethnic lines?

Which linguistic constructs contribute to the negotiation, establishment and maintenance of ethnic groups and identities? Under which conditions can processes of linguistic convergence, hybrids, or transcultural identities be observed?

Mariage et métissage dans les sociétés coloniales

Références et thèmes des droites radicales au XXe siècle (Europe/Amériques)

The Evolution of an American Youth Culture

Amériques, Afrique et Iles de l’Océan Indien (XVIe–XXe siècles)

Après avoir abordé les droites radicales européennes et américaines au vingtième siècle sous l’angle des doctrinaires, des vulgarisateurs et des passeurs puis analysé l’internationalisation de leurs supports et de leurs vecteurs, l’objet de ce troisième volume du projet de recherche IDREA (Internationalisation des droites radicales – Europe/Amériques) a été d’étudier le caractère fédérateur d’un certain nombre de références et de thèmes. Réunissant une douzaine de chercheurs français, européens, comme américains du Nord et du Sud, issus de différentes disciplines, l’ouvrage s’attache à privilégier la mise en exergue de références et de thèmes transversaux au sein des droites radicales européennes et américaines depuis les lendemains du second conflit mondial. Cinq entrées sont proposées : Figures de chefs, Mémoire(s) et histoire(s) des régimes et des combats perdus, Antisémitisme et anticapitalisme, Conservatisme, radicalités et anticommunisme, L’Occident en questions.

Sex, Drugs, & Rock ‘n’ Roll analyzes the cultural, political, and social revolution that took place in the U.S. (and in time the world) after World War II, crystalizing between 1955 and 1970. During this era, the concept of the American teenager first came into being, significantly altering the relationship between young people and adults.

As the entertainment industries came to realize that a youth market existed, providers of music and movies began to create products specifically for them. While Big Beat music and exploitation films may have initially been targeted for a marginalized audience, during the following decade and a half, such offerings gradually become mainstream, even as the first generation of American teenagers came of age. As a result the so-called youth culture overtook and consumed the primary American culture, as records and films once considered revolutionary transformed into a nostalgia movement, and much of what had been thought of as radical came to be perceived as conservative in a drastically altered social context.

In this book Douglas Brode offers the first full analysis of how an American youth culture evolved.

Americas, Africa and islands of the Indian ocean (XVIth–XXth centuries) La conquête de vastes empires coloniaux par les puissances européennes, suivie par des mouvements migratoires d’ampleur variable selon les territoires et les époques, a donné naissance à de nouvelles sociétés. Les principaux groupes humains, indigènes, sous différentes appellations, colons d’origine européenne et leurs descendants, et parfois esclaves arrachés au continent africain, se sont mélangés parfois rapidement et avec une forte intensité, parfois plus tardivement ou marginalement. Les unions, officialisées par des mariages ou restées consensuelles, provoqué l’apparition de nouvelles générations métisses et ainsi qu’un phénomène de créolisation. L’effectif de chacun de ces groupes humains, et l’existence éventuelle de barrières entre eux, ont produit des degrés de métissage très divers que les administrateurs des sociétés coloniales ont tenté de classifier. Les seize textes réunis dans cet ouvrage abordent la manière dont les populations se sont mélangées, ainsi que la position des métis dans les nouvelles sociétés. Ces questions sont abordées dans une perspective de long terme, du XVIe au XXe siècle, et à propos de nombreux territoires, du Canada à la Bolivie, des Antilles à Madagascar, de l’Algérie à l’Angola.

Transnational Revolutionaries The Fenian Invasion of Canada, 1866 The organization of several thousand Irish American men into a military outfit, which then attempted to invade Canada from within the United States, is a significant historical event that remains largely unexplored from an Irish and Irish American perspective. This study offers a fuller exploration of the details behind the Fenian invasion, asking why Irish immigrants were motivated to shape American international policy and examining the ways in which the Fenians defined identity as a transnational phenomenon. By taking a fresh look at the Irish foray, the author reveals new aspects to Irish immigrant negotiations of belonging – a prototypical transnationalism, accompanied by a broad-ranging anti-imperialism.

This book places the Irish American Fenians in their proper context, demonstrating their central importance within American, Irish and Irish American history. Its publication coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Fenian invasion of Canada.

Les zouaves pontificaux en France, en Belgique et au Québec La mise en récit d’une expérience historique transnationale (XIXe–XXe siècles) Le bataillon des zouaves pontificaux est créé le 1er janvier 1861 et devient régiment au 1er janvier 1867. Il est constitué d’environ 10 000 volontaires, issus de 25 nationalités différentes, qui seront licenciés le 21 septembre 1870.

Une fois le conflit terminé, de nombreuses associations d’anciens zouaves sont créées au retour des soldats et des journaux liés à ces associations sont fondées. Des rassemblements et des réunions cherchent à perpétuer le souvenir des faits d’armes des combattants démobilisés tandis que plusieurs monuments en célèbrent l’héroïsme.

Un véritable imaginaire prend forme à la fin du XIXe siècle. Appartenant à cette internationale « blanche », d’essence contre-révolutionnaire, les anciens volontaires élaborent le mythe du croisé moderne, du martyre et du héros catholique. C’est ici l’imaginaire construit autour des zouaves pontificaux que ce livre se propose d’explorer. Il entend poser des jalons pour mieux comprendre la structuration des réseaux de zouaves, leur idéal de chrétienté, leur description d’un « croisé du Christ », leur identité comme groupe et leur quête de légitimité religieuse et sociale, voire politique.

The Conceptualization of Race in Colonial Puerto Rico, 1800–1850 With the growing interest in the history of peoples of African descent in the Americas, narratives addressing regions outside of the United States are becoming increasingly popular. The Conceptualization of Race in Colonial Puerto Rico, 1800–1850 illuminates the role people of African descent played in the building of a Spanish Caribbean society during the social upheaval of the early nineteenth century. This examination of cultural tensions created by changing regional and national definitions and the fluidity of identity within these structures will appeal to those interested in colonial race issues, Africans in the Americas, and gender and race stratification. Kathryn R. Dungy uses gender, color, and class differences as lenses to understand a colonial society that was regulated by social relationships within Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the Americas. By examining slave and free status, color, gender, work, and immigration, she endeavors to stimulate current debate on issues of gender, color, nation, and empire, utilizing a unique population and culture in the Black Atlantic.

Yankee Bishops

The Anatomy of National Revolution

Apostles in the New Republic, 1783 to 1873

Bolivia in the 20th Century Translated by Jan Zagórski-Ostoja

The office of bishop in the Episcopal Church in the United States has long begged attention from historians. Yankee Bishops: Apostles in the New Republic, 1783 to 1873 is the first collective examination of the American episcopate and offers critical insight into the theory and practice of episcopal ministry in these formative years. In this period, one hundred men were elected and consecrated to the episcopal order and exercised oversight. These bishops firmly believed their office to mirror the primitive pattern of apostolic ministry.

How this primitive ideal of episcopacy was understood and lived out in the new republic is the main focus of this study. Yankee Bishops is also the first book to scrutinize and analyze as a body the sermons preached at episcopal consecrations. These valuable texts are important for the image and role of the bishop they propagate and the theology of episcopacy expounded. The final portrait that emerges of the bishop in these years is chiefly that of a sacramental and missionary figure to whom the pastoral staff came to be bestowed as a fitting symbol of office. These bishops were truly apostolic pioneers who carved out a new, vigorous model of ministry in the Anglican Communion. Yankee Bishops will be a primary source in Anglican and ecumenical studies and of general interest to the reader of American religious and social history.

The Bolivian revolution in 1952 aimed at modernizing the country: the revolutionaries nationalized the large tin mines, limited the power of the upper classes, proceeded to the agrarian reform, and tried to strengthen the role of the state in the economic life. Because the success of the revolution was limited, it is necessary to discuss the economic instruments, which a country may use to limit its backwardness. The second important point, which makes the 1952 revolution interesting is the alliance of the intellectuals and the workers, an alliance which can also be observed in the Polish «Solidarity» movement at the end of the 20th century.

Representations of War in Films and Novels This book discusses different aspects of the cinematic and literary representation of war.

The papers in this volume consider the roles of war films and war novels in remaking historical memories, the influence of films and novels as social media and debate their roles as instruments of propaganda and mystification. The book is organized along chronological and geographical lines, looking first at the First and Second World Wars in Europe; then the Pacific War; the Vietnam War; and espionage and propaganda in the Cold War and PostCold War.

Die Inszenierung der Nation

Public Diplomacy

Das Kaiserreich Brasilien im Zeitalter der Weltausstellungen

European and Latin American Perspectives

Das Buch erforscht die Beteiligung Brasiliens an den Weltausstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts, mit denen das tropische Kaiserreich potenzielle Einwanderer und Investoren ködern wollte. Die Inszenierung einer modernen Nation im Ausland hatte nur wenig mit der von wirtschaftlicher Rückständigkeit und Sklaverei geprägten Realität gemein. So konnten die idealisierten Exponate in den Ausstellungspavillons die Spannungen im Inneren des Kaiserreichs nur bedingt verdecken. Auf den Weltausstellungen wird somit in kondensierter Form sichtbar, welche Widersprüche sich im Nationsbildungsprozess auftaten, welche globalen Einflüsse dabei eine Rolle spielten und wie bis heute nachwirkende kollektive Selbstund Fremdbilder entstanden.

Public diplomacy is a diplomatic and international communication activity aimed at foreign publics and seeking to create a positive image and/or political influence, contributing to the achievement of foreign policy goals.

On June 9th, 2015, public diplomacy scholars and practitioners coming from Europe and Latin America gathered in a research seminar organised by the Centre for International Relations Studies (CEFIR), at the University of Liège. They contributed their works on public diplomacy from the perspectives of its cultural, communicative and image components.

The result of that seminar is this book, which reflects the current diversity of theoretical aspects and practices of public diplomacy.

Taking the European Union, some Latin American countries (Venezuela and Mexico) and even civil society organisations as the actors whose public diplomacy actions are studied, this book provides both reflections and empirical analysis of public diplomacy strategies developed from different angles.

This book examines the political and developmental thought of the democratic socialist opposition party of India during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. It thereby contributes to a modern global history of political ideas and examines the role of Marxism, Gandhi and modernisation theory for the political development of India during the Cold War. The study focuses on the modernisation policies implemented by the Nehru government: Increasingly facing competing claims from Nehru to be pursuing socialist policies after the mid1950s, the movement eventually broke apart and large numbers of socialists were assimilated by the Congress Party where they continued to shape Indian politics.

Moritz Brake (Hrsg.)

Maritime Sicherheit – Moderne Piraterie

Vertrauen und Verantwortung in den politischen Systemen westlicher Demokratien

Hintergründe, Gefahren und mögliche Gegenmaßnahmen

Black Culture and Experience: Contemporary Issues offers a holistic look at Black culture in the twenty-first century. It is a collection of work that creates a synergy among authors and leads to a valuable resource on contemporary issues.

Part One examines institutional, societal, and political issues like identity politics; the Rooney Rule; prosperity gospel; inequality in the criminal justice system; the American dream; the future of Black and Africana studies; and President Obama’s double consciousness. Part Two investigates social, cultural, and community issues such as the Affordable Care Act; Black women and obesity; Black men’s experience in marriage and relationships; sexual decision making; interracial relationships; and cultural racism. Part Three explores media, pop culture, and technology issues including the rise of urban fiction; hip hop and feminism; race in Super Bowl commercials; the construction of Black Diasporic identities; Whiteness in Black-oriented films; Black masculinity in Django Unchained; and the power of Black Twitter. This anthology contains work from leading scholars, authors, and other specialists who have been brought together to highlight key issues in black culture and experience today. The goal is to help readers understand where we are and where we still need to go, what is working and what we still need to work on, what is right and what is still wrong.

Dieses Buch geht über das allgemeine und akademische Interesse hinaus. Es richtet sich vor allem auch an Handelnde an Bord – in Marine und Handelsschifffahrt – sowie an Verantwortliche in Schifffahrtsunternehmen, Streitkräften, Behörden und Politik. Der betroffene Praktiker bekommt hier Einblick in Hintergründe und Handlungswissen zu moderner Piraterie – auch hinsichtlich des neuen deutschen Rechtsrahmens für den Einsatz privater bewaffneter Sicherheitsteams auf Seeschiffen. Hierbei erleichtert der interdisziplinäre Charakter der Beiträge den Zugang. Die Autoren suchen den Austausch jenseits der eigenen Fachexpertise. Ziel ist es, die bestehende Lücke in der praxisorientierten Betrachtung maritimer Sicherheit zu schließen.

Band 2: Der Fall der Regierenden in parlamentarischen und präsidentiellen Demokratien Rücktritte von Ministern und Regierungschefs markieren dramatische Höhepunkte der Politik und werfen Fragen nach Vertrauen und Verantwortung auf. Vergleichend werden im vorliegenden Band Fälle aus Deutschland und den USA untersucht. Die Kanzlerschaften Willy Brandts und Helmut Schmidts (1969–1982) bieten die ersten Anwendungsfälle von Misstrauensvotum und Vertrauensfrage unter dem Grundgesetz. In den USA sind mit den Präsidentschaften Richard Nixons, Gerald Fords und Jimmy Carters (1969–1980) durch das Impeachment-Verfahren gegen Nixon Neujustierungen der Macht verbunden. Neben Guillaume- und Watergate-Affäre analysiert der Autor unter anderen die Fälle Schiller, Eppler, Arendt, Leber und Maihofer in Deutschland sowie Agnew, Richardson, Schlesinger, Lance und Vance in den USA.

Maritime Herausforderungen der NATO

Cross-disciplinary Perspectives on Homeland and Civil Security

Strategische Auswirkungen und die Effektivität des Handelns

A Research-Based Introduction

The Politics of Parliamentary Pensions in Western Democracies

Der Autor bewertet die Effektivität des maritimen Handelns der NATO im Hinblick auf dessen strategische Auswirkungen. Dafür greift er auf die Methoden der Strategischen Wissenschaft sowie Ansätze des Neorealismus zurück. Auf dieser Grundlage entwickelt er Handlungsempfehlungen für die NATO sowie Methodenansätze für die politikwissenschaftliche Bewertung der Effektivität multilateralen Handelns.

This uniquely composed textbook provides a cross-disciplinary introduction to the field of homeland and civil security. It unites U.S. and international scholars and practitioners in addressing both foundational topics and riskinformed priorities in fostering secure societies. The book examines research-related foundations of homeland and civil security across national boundaries, and how those apply to addressing real-world challenges of our time.

Representing different disciplines, intellectual styles, and methodological choices in meeting those challenges, chapters provide a comprehensive perspective across different approaches and levels of governance within an all-hazards framework. The book covers international experiences in border management; intelligence for homeland security; comparative political and legal frameworks for use of «drones»; risk management at the tribal level; terrorism as a strategic hybrid threat; critical infrastructure protection and resilience; historical lessons for emergency management in the homeland security era; the leadership challenge in homeland security; ethics, legal, and social issues in homeland and civil security research and practice; and examples of the scientific status of the field from the epistemic as well as the educational point of view.

Understanding MPs’ Self-Imposed Cutbacks The author takes a close look at the politics of parliamentary pensions in Australia, Austria, Canada, and Germany and enlightens the reasons of self-imposed cuts by Members of Parliament. Members of Parliament in western democracies have been under growing pressure since they legislated first retrenchments of national social security systems. They are in a special situation because they have to decide about their own financial situation as well. Thus, it is surprising that they cut their own pension benefits in recent years. The book shows that the self-imposed cuts by Members of Parliament were related to public pension reforms but, in general, were less substantial.

Politicizing Consumer Choice

Race Relations in «Post-Racial» American Life

Ethical Dimensions of Consumerism in the United States

«What do you think is meant by the term ‘postracial’ and how far do you think we’ve come, as a country, toward achieving it?» Helen Fox, a white teacher and scholar, asked variations of this question to 87 high school and college students, educators, administrators, community organizers, international visitors, and tribal leaders across the country. Their stories reveal how far we are from a «post-racial» idea e̫ ven in the most liberal of communities. Despite her long experience as an anti-racist educator, Fox was surprised to learn how deeply the lives of people of color continue to be shaped by race, and how hard they have to work to ignore or overcome assumptions, remarks, exclusion, and at times, blatant hostility from whites. The kinds of racism they experience depend on their gender, their religion, their geographical location, their skin tone, their forms of speech and expression, their socioeconomic class, their aspirations, their determination to be outspoken or stoic, the kinds and amount of contact they choose to have (or can’t escape having) with whites, and of course, their ascribed race. Despite our nation’s «post-racial» climate, racialized assumptions, beliefs, and denials affect everything, from the reach of the national media down to the smallest community: the street where one lives, the friends one attempts to make, the social club, the study group, the classroom.

This book investigates various forms of political and ethical consumerism in the United States and delivers a comprehensive conceptualization of the consumer’s role in the marketplace. Both aspects, the potential impact of market-based activism on corporations in America and the socio-structural dynamics that may prevent the possibility of far-reaching social change through forms of alternative consumerism, are equally important in this regard. The historical ties between politics and consumption in America, and the diminishing role of the government as a regulatory force in the market since the end of Fordism, has spawned a unique form of consumer politics directed at the corporate world.

The underlying question to be answered is whether the consumer is truly a force to be reckoned with.

A Communication Perspective on the Military Interactions, Messages, and Discourses A Communication Perspective on the Military brings into focus the challenge of sense-making in the war state. How do military family members talk to one another about the stress of deployment on their lives? How do media – old and new – render the costs of war meaningful? How is the narrative of war rhetorically constructed?

The dynamics of military family transactions, media-military relations, and war rhetoric reveal, reinforce, and may even disrupt U.S. war culture. Offering close analysis and thoughtful critique, this book reflects upon the ways the meaning of war is communicated in private lives, social relations, and public affairs. The collection highlights three broad areas of concern: communication in the military family; the military in the media; and rhetoric surrounding the military. Katheryn Maguire, Roger Stahl, and Gordon Mitchell introduce each section with overarching and integrative literature reviews that offer directions for the field. Each section includes six chapters reporting the latest research and offering suggestions for practical applications.

The book is a must-have reference for military and communication scholars and an ideal text for graduate seminars and upper division undergraduate courses focusing on communication and the military.

Probing the Past Festschrift in Honor of Leo Schelbert This Festschrift acknowledges the scholarly work of Leo Schelbert and his mentorship of graduate students in the Department of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago where for 33 years he taught American history. Professor Schelbert has specialized in the story of European migrations and especially of immigration to the United States. His courses offered not only pertinent data, but they also raised theoretical issues to which historical work is tied inescapably.

The varied essays included in this book reflect the range of themes former students, who now are scholars in their own right, have been pursuing. The topics of three essays center on North American Indians facing white intruders, another on émigré Hungarians living in Scotland, and one (contributed to this volume by a most esteemed colleague with whom Leo Schelbert shared many a student) on striking women straw workers in Tuscany.

Another essay concerns matters relating to those grappling with mental health issues, while others deal with African newcomers in Chicago, Jewish immigrants to America who first worked as peddlers, contemporary Polish American politics in Chicago, and also with a nineteenth-century Swiss American theologian. Two of the last three essays honor Leo Schelbert’s work as a colleague and historian apart from the university setting, whereas the final one honors Leo Schelbert as a teacher as well as the Department of History at UIC in which its Swiss-born member worked from 1971 to 2003.

The Trayvon Martin in US

Nationalisms and Identities among Indigenous Peoples

An American Tragedy

Case Studies from North America

The events surrounding the Trayvon Martin murder, trial and acquittal bring to public and private discourse the violent, brutal murders of Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Dr. King, while bringing back to memory the racially provoked murders of Black American and Black immigrant men such as Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant and more recently, Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York. The name of Trayvon Martin has become trope in the 21st century, which crystallizes US racial politics regarding Blackness, specifically the Black male: a metaphoric symbol of this history of America’s regard for Black bodies, as well as a metonym, a name that has become a contemporary substitute for terrorist attacks targeting Black bodies. The works included here imply that Trayvon Martin, as trope, reverberates in the most conscientious of ‘US’; and, this epic tragedy is one that has plagued ‘US’ since Africans and people of African descent first arrived to the Americas. The essays range from the profoundly personal to the thoroughly investigated, and conclude with the statement from President Barack H. Obama in the epilogue. The Trayvon Martin in US is essential reading for anyone who is involved in race relations or teaches the topic.

This book investigates nationalisms and the emergence of national identities among the Indigenous peoples across North America. It examines the many difficulties which the Native communities have had to face in order to assert themselves as nations, as well as looking at the ambiguity of the term ‘nation’ within First Nations-government relations. The volume gives a broad perspective on the historical development of Native American nationalism and also explores a variety of political, educational, sociological, cultural and even literary viewpoints. The experiences of the Indigenous peoples are compared with the experiences of other Aboriginal groups across the globe, in order to enrich our understanding of global indigenous nationalisms.

The contributors to this volume represent the perspectives of a variety of different First Nations and a wide range of disciplinary fields, from history, anthropology and political science to communications, law, linguistics and literary studies.

Counterstorytelling Narratives of Latino Teenage Boys

Partial Visions

From Vergüenza to Échale Ganas

Emmanuelle Bribosia • Isabelle Rorive (dir.)

Feminism and Utopianism in the 1970s

L’accommodement de la diversité religieuse Regards croisés – Canada, Europe, Belgique

Counterstorytelling Narratives of Latino Teenage Boys presents an ethnographic portrait of the experiences and counterstories of nine Latino teenage boys representing different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds attending a high school in North Carolina. Using critical race theory (CRT), Latino critical theory (LatCrit), and Chicano/a epistemologies as a theoretical framework, the book unveils how differing layers of oppression shape the lives of these boys of color through the intersections of race, gender, and class. Contrary to majoritarian assumptions, cultural deficit models, and their teachers’ low expectations, this research reveals how participants used their cultural capital as a foundation to develop resiliency. The findings in this book suggest that teachers, school administrators, and staff could benefit from a better understanding of Latino/a students’ community cultural wealth as a fundamental element for these students’ academic success. Counterstorytelling Narratives of Latino Teenage Boys will be an excellent resource for teachers, school administrators, college students, and pre-service teachers. It will be useful in courses in Latino/a studies in the United States, multicultural studies, race and education studies, social justice in education, race and gender studies, and social foundations in education.

What would a good world for women look like?

How would we get there from where we are and how would we have to change ourselves in the process? This book examines a critical moment in recent American and western European history when the utopian dimension of political movements was particularly generative and feminism was at their core. The imaginative literature that emerged out of American, French, and German feminisms of the 1970s engaged the dialectic between the actual and the possible in radically new and creative ways. Ranging from conventional utopian and science fictions to avant-garde and experimental texts, they countered the idea of utopia as a pre-set goal with the idea of the utopian as a process of «dreaming forwards.»

This book explores the transformative potential of feminist visions of change, even as it sees their ideological blind spots. It does more than simply look back to the 1970s. Instead, it looks ahead, anticipating some of the shifts and changes of feminist thought in the following decades: its transnational scope, its critique of identity politics and the gendered politics of sexuality, and its embrace of affect as an analytical category. The author argues that the radical utopianism of second wave feminisms has not lost its urgency. The transformations they envisioned are still our challenge, as the vital work of social change remains undone.

Préface de Françoise Tulkens Que se passe-t-il lorsque des personnes observant une religion minoritaire (voire même majoritaire) demandent l’adaptation de règles générales au nom de la pratique de leur foi ?

Comment les employeurs, les pouvoirs publics, les directeurs ou les fournisseurs de services réagissent-ils à de telles demandes ? Que stipule la loi en de pareils cas ? Et quels sont les arguments normatifs en faveur ou à l’encontre de ce type de demandes ?

Aux États-Unis et au Canada, ces questions sont traitées depuis plusieurs décennies par le jeu du concept juridique d’« accommodement raisonnable ». En Belgique, les sociologues ont pu observer depuis des années de nombreuses pratiques similaires, sans toutefois les nommer comme telles. Aujourd’hui, avec le développement, en droit européen, de la notion de discrimination indirecte, ainsi que l’introduction du principe d’« aménagement raisonnable » pour les personnes souffrant d’un handicap, la question se pose de savoir jusqu’à quel point cette figure juridique peut être mobilisée pour les pratiques religieuses.

Die Gründung von Kapitalgesellschaften in Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich und den USA

Injustice in Indian Country

Rechtsfragen der Regulierung außerbörslicher derivativer Finanzinstrumente

Eine rechtsvergleichende und rechtspolitische Studie Das Werk vergleicht das deutsche und das angelsächsische Gründungsrecht. In Deutschland ist die Gründung von Kapitalgesellschaften vergleichsweise langwierig und teuer. Die angelsächsischen Rechtsordnungen erlauben hingegen schnelle und kostengünstige Gründungen. Während das deutsche Recht die Interessen von Gläubigern, Mitgründern und Anlegern bereits im Zeitpunkt der Gründung berücksichtigt, sorgt das angelsächsische Recht überwiegend erst nach dem Entstehen der Gesellschaft für einen entsprechenden Schutz.

Der Autor beleuchtet die Vor- und Nachteile beider Systeme und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das deutsche Gründungsrecht nicht reformbedürftig ist und rechtspolitische Gründe für dessen Erhalt sprechen.

Jurisdiction, American Law, and Sexual Violence Against Native Women Living at the intersection of multiple identities in the United States can be dangerous.

This is especially true for Native women who live on the more than 56 million acres that comprise America’s Indian Country – the legal term for American Indian reservations and other land held in trust for Native people.

Today, due to a complicated system of criminal jurisdiction, non-Native Americans can commit crimes against American Indians in much of Indian Country with virtual impunity. This has created what some call a modern day «hunting ground» in which Native women are specifically targeted by non-Native men for sexual violence.

In this urgent and timely book, author Amy L. Casselman exposes the shameful truth of how the American government has systematically divested Native nations of the basic right to protect the people in their own communities. A problem over 200 years in the making, Casselman highlights race and gender in federal law to challenge the argument that violence against Native women in Indian country is simply collateral damage from a complex but necessary legal structure. Instead, she demonstrates that what’s happening in Indian country is part of a violent colonial legacy – one that has always relied on legal and sexual violence to disempower Native communities as a whole.

Zur neuen Marktinfrastruktur in der Europäischen Union, den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Singapur Die Marktinfrastruktur außerbörslicher Derivate unterliegt einem enormen regulatorischen Wandel, der von erheblicher wirtschaftlicher Relevanz ist. Das Buch analysiert, wie die Europäische Union, die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Singapur diese internationale Reform in ihre Rechtsordnungen implementiert haben. Der Autor erarbeitet eine detaillierte Bestandsaufnahme der jeweiligen Regelungen und führt sie einer rechtsvergleichenden Analyse sowie übergreifenden Bewertung zu. Darüber hinaus geht die Untersuchung der Frage nach, wie die Kapitalerhaltung europäischer zentraler Gegenparteien optimiert werden kann. Es werden konkrete Lösungsvorschläge entwickelt, die diese systemrelevanten Knotenpunkte wirksamer vor finanziellen Verlusten schützen sollen und insofern einen Beitrag leisten, die Finanzmarktarchitektur stabiler zu gestalten.

Case Analyses for Intellectual Property Law and New Media

Intellectual Property Law and Interactive Media: Free for a Fee Second Edition

This text is a companion to the 2nd edition of Intellectual Property Law And New Media: Free for a Fee. Moving the coverage of case analysis to this separate volume, enables the authors to focus their attention on important trial and legal procedures that apply extant law to, largely, new circumstances.

Readers can focus on history and concepts while reading the main text, allowing them to bring understandings derived there to bear on the cases found in this analytic text. The approach offers relief from information overload and allows time and space to «shift gears» between concepts and cases. To aid understanding and learning, the authors provide focused interpretations and analysis throughout.

The coverage allows these books to serve as an excellent resource for undergraduates studying interactive media, as well as being a primer for first year IP law students, a handbook for entrepreneurs, a guidebook for general lawyers to assist in referrals, and an interesting read for those simply curious about the field.

The books are supplemented by freeforafee. com, a blog providing textual updates, online links to bibliographic materials, and extensive resource aggregation. Learning objectives for each chapter and a glossary of key terms is provided within the texts.

Now in its second edition, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of intellectual property law and interactive media. Having been thoroughly updated, this edition captures emerging trends and issues in a shifting landscape (including international contexts and games/virtual worlds), legislative and judicial history, and the efforts to balance public and private interests.

It explains the details relating to procedural issues in connection with each of the varied and unique forms of intellectual property management (copyright, patent, open source/open publishing, trademark, trade secrets, personal torts –right of publicity, privacy, defamation – and digital rights management) and registration.

Each chapter now includes a section that clearly introduces the fundamentals of the IP law aspect highlighted in the chapter. Each chapter also includes a new section dedicated to emerging Issues.

Case coverage is revised in two important ways: the bulk of the case analyses have been moved to a second volume, Case Analyses for Intellectual Property Law and New Media (Baron, Lamoureux, and Stewart); and references to cases in the primary text direct readers to pertinent sections in the new book.

The coverage allows this second edition to serve as an excellent resource for undergraduates studying interactive media, as well as being a primer for first year IP law students, a handbook for entrepreneurs, a guidebook for general lawyers to assist in referrals, and an interesting read for those simply curious about the field.

The Trademark Paradox Trademarks and Their Conflicting Legal and Commercial Boundaries Trademarks play a fundamental role in our everyday lives as consumers, helping us to quickly choose the products we like and avoid those that we don’t. Trademarks are also essential elements in a competitive market, allowing companies to build brand loyalty without fear of free-riding by competitors. Trademark laws thus diminish customer confusion, make «communication» between seller and buyer simple, and prevent unfairness. However, expanding legal protection, coupled with commercial «bullying», have served to restrict, rather than promote, competition. The paradox lies in how we have dealt with the conflict: in our quest to promote competition, we have failed to adequately balance private interests (e.g., protection of business goodwill) with public interests (ensuring a robust, competitive market without restraints on trade).

This book examines trademarks’ conflicting legal and commercial boundaries. It concludes by suggesting principles and guidelines to help resolve the imbalance.

Das Modellgesetz als geeignetes Instrument europäischer Vertragsrechtsharmonisierung

Die Einordnung der PassingOn-Defense in das allgemeine Schadensersatzrecht

Das «Ob» und «Wie» der europäischen Vertragsrechtsharmonisierung wird in der rechtswissenschaftlichen Literatur kontrovers diskutiert. Auf Ebene der europäischen Gesetzgebung gibt es seit längerer Zeit Bestrebungen, im Wege gesetzlicher Vorgaben eine Vereinheitlichung zu erreichen. Dieser Beitrag richtet den Blick auf das nicht normative Instrument des Modellgesetzes als flexibleren Ansatz zur Harmonisierung. Durch Modellgesetze wurde in den unterschiedlichsten nationalen und internationalen Kontexten eine Vereinheitlichung erreicht. Das Ergebnis der Untersuchung fällt differenziert aus: Das Modellgesetz ist im genannten Zusammenhang als Instrument zur weiteren Vereinheitlichung des momentanen Rechtszustands empfehlenswert. Es stellt jedoch nur eine Zwischenlösung auf dem Weg einer zukünftigen legislativen Vereinheitlichung dar.

Eine rechtsvergleichende, dogmatische Studie Der Autor analysiert den Schadensabwälzungseinwand (Passing-On-Defense) und untersucht die Vereinbarkeit dessen Zulassung oder Versagung mit dem deutschen Schadensersatzrecht. Das Buch ist in drei Themenkreise aufgeteilt: 1. Rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung des US-amerikanischen Kartellrechts. 2. Anspruchsberechtigung von Folgeabnehmern bei Wettbewerbsverstößen. 3. Dogmatische Analyse aus Sicht des deutschen Schadensersatz- und Bereicherungsrechts. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im deutschen und EU-Kartellrecht sowie die Richtlinie 2014/104/EU werden berücksichtigt. Im Ergebnis befürwortet der Autor die Anspruchsberechtigung mittelbarer Abnehmer und die Versagung der Passing-On-Defense und bietet Lösungsansätze zur Konkordanz dieser zwei Thesen.

Black Studies and Critical Thinking Edited by Rochelle Brock, Richard Greggory Johnson III and Cynthia Dillard Black Studies and Critical Thinking is an interdisciplinary series which examines the intellectual traditions of and cultural contributions made by people of African descent throughout the world. Whether it is in literature, art, music, science, or academics, these contributions are vast and far-reaching. As we work to stretch the boundaries of knowledge and understanding of issues critical to the Black experience, this series offers a unique opportunity to study the social, economic, and political forces that have shaped the historic experience of Black America, and that continue to determine our future. Black Studies and Critical Thinking is positioned at the forefront of research on the Black experience, and is the source for dynamic, innovative, and creative exploration of the most vital issues facing African Americans. The series invites contributions from all disciplines but is specially suited for cultural studies, anthropology, history, sociology, literature, art, and music. Subjects of interest include (but are not limited to): Education, Sociology, History, Media/Communication, Spirituality and Indigenous Thought, Women’s Studies, Policy Studies, Advertising, African American Studies, Black Political Thought.

Critical Studies of Latinos/as in the Americas Edited by Yolanda Medina and Margarit Machado-Casas

ISSN: 2372-6822 www.peterlang.com/?csla Proposals for new projects : publishing@peterlang.com

The Latinos/as presence continues to grow and intersect with every aspect of life in the 21st century. This is evident when one considers the recent appointment of Sonia Sotomayor as Associate Justice to the United States Supreme Court as well as the prominence of distinct Hispanic men and women in various spheres of social, cultural, and political life.

Latino Studies, as an academic field of inquiry, began to emerge during the early 1990s surfacing from the more recognized field of Chicano/a studies. As such, the major contributions to the field first emerged from Mexican/Chicano/a scholarship – publications such as Aztlán, the most important journal in the field of Chicano studies since 1970; Gloria Anzaldúa’s groundbreaking memoir/essay Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987); George J. Sanchez’s historical account Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900–1945 (1995); and the two volumes of The Chicano Studies Reader: An Anthology of Aztlan, 1970–2010. These are a few examples of the consolidation and the continuing development of Chicano Studies in the United States.

In the past decade, Latino Studies have grown and expanded significantly. There have been a number of publications about Latino/as in the Midwest and North East; in addition, due to the fast growing population of Latinos/as in the area, new scholarship has emerged about the Latinos/as in the New South.

Critical Studies of Latinos/as in the Americas will offer a critical space for reflection and questioning of what it means to be Latino/a living in the Americas, extending the dialogue to include the North and South Western hemispheric relations that are prevalent in other fields of global studies such as Post Colonial Theory, Post Colonial Feminism, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Critical Race Theory, among others. This broader scope can contribute to prolific interdisciplinary research and can also promote changes in policies and practices that will enable today’s leaders to deal with the overall problems that affect us all.

Topics that explore contemporary inequalities and social exclusions associated with processes of racialization, economic exploitation, health, education, transnationalism, immigration, gendered and sexual identities, and disabilities that are not commonly highlighted in the current literature as well as the multitude of socio- economic, and cultural commonalities and differences among the Latinos/as in the Americas will be at the center of the series.

Études canadiennes Canadian Studies Edité par Serge Jaumain La collection Études canadiennes analyse les multiples facettes de la réalité canadienne dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Elle accueille des travaux sur tous les thèmes de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales qui ont pour objet principal le Canada dans son acception la plus large – études littéraires, historiques, sociologiques, politiques, économiques, géographiques, juridiques, médiatiques, muséologiques, etc. – mais elle met également l’accent sur les travaux comparatistes incluant le Canada.

L’une des principales originalités de la collection est d’accueillir le fruit des recherches les plus récentes menées à l’extérieur du Canada. Elle jette ainsi un éclairage significatif et inédit sur les différentes composantes de ce pays, privilégiant le développement d’un dialogue constant et original entre les scientifiques canadiens et la communauté internationale des canadianistes répartis à travers le monde.

ISSN: 1781-3867 www.peterlang.com/?eccs Proposals for new projects : publishing@peterlang.com

This series examines the many facets of Canadian reality from a multidisciplinary perspective. Contributions from both the humanities and the social sciences are invited. The editor welcomes manuscripts whose primary object is Canada in the widest possible sense of the term. The series therefore covers a variety of fields such as literature, history, sociology, politics, economics, geography, law, media, museology, etc. as well as comparative studies.

One of the most innovative features of this series is its focus on the latest research conducted outside Canada. It therefore illuminates various aspects of the country in a new and significant manner and encourages a constant and innovative dialogue between Canadian scholars and the community of Canadian studies specialists worldwide.

The burgeoning field of Inter-American Studies interrogates the notion of traditionally bounded disciplinary territories while highlighting the United States’ internal cultural plurality and its multi-faceted interrelatedness with other countries. Focusing on complex forms of interdependence between Anglophone and Francophone Canada, the United States, Latin America as well as the Caribbean, this series is devoted to publications that analyze and reconceptualize American literatures, cultures, histories, borderlands, demographic migrations, as well as environmental and socio-political concerns within a postnational, subaltern, comparative, hemispheric, transatlantic, or transpacific framework.

Prior to publication, the quality of the works published in this series is reviewed by external referees appointed by the editorship.

Modern American Literature New Approaches Edited by Yoshinobu Hakutani The books in the Modern American Literature: New Approaches series deal with many of the major writers known as American realists, modernists, and post-modernists from 1880 to the present. This category of writers will also include less known ethnic and minority writers, a majority of whom are African American, some are Native American, Mexican American, Japanese American, Chinese American, and others. The series might also include studies on wellknown contemporary writers, such as James Dickey, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, John Barth, John Updike, and Joyce Carol Oates. In general, the series will reflect new critical approaches such as deconstructionism, new historicism, psychoanalytical criticism, gender criticism/ feminism, and cultural criticism.

Popular Culture and Everyday Life Edited by Toby Miller Popular Culture and Everyday Life (PC&EL) is the new space for critical books in cultural studies. The series innovates by stressing multiple theoretical, political, and methodological approaches to commodity culture and lived experience, borrowing from sociological, anthropological, and textual disciplines. Each PC&EL volume develops a critical understanding of a key topic in the area through a combination of a thorough literature review, original research, and a student-reader orientation. The series includes three types of books: single-authored monographs, readers of existing classic essays, and new companion volumes of papers on central topics. Likely fields covered are: fashion; sport; shopping; therapy; religion; food and drink; youth; music; cultural policy; popular literature; performance; education; queer theory; race; gender; class.

Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture Edited by Marek Wilczyński The interdisciplinary series Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture brings together literary and cultural studies concerning literatures and cultures of the English-speaking world, particularly those of Great Britain, Ireland, the United States, and Canada. The range of topics to be addressed includes literature, theater, film, and art, considered in various twenty-first-century theoretical perspectives, such as, for example (but not exclusively), New Historicism and canon formation, cognitive narratology, gender and queer studies, performance studies, memory and trauma studies, and New Art History. The editors welcome Ph.D. dissertations and Habilitation projects, as long as they constitute valuable and original contributions to the above fields. We are leaving a broad margin for the innovative and the unpredictable, hoping to attract authors whose approaches will point to new directions of research as regards both thematic areas and methods. Comparative Polish-Anglo-American proposals will be considered, too. Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts of monographs, collected volumes, post-conference volumes as well as dissertations.

The series was formerly known as Gdansk Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture.

Transcription Cultures – Concepts – Controversies / Kulturen – Konzepte – Kontroversen Edited by Sabine Sielke Transcription: Cultures – Concepts – Controversies is dedicated to publishing work that explores culture as cultures, interrogates concepts, methods, and theories, and intervenes in controversies about cultures and concepts. The term transcription acknowledges that all cultures engage in acts of translating and transforming performed, spoken, written, or digitalized languages, images, and sounds from one medium into another; it also refers, more specifically, to processes of encoding and transferring genetic information. The series focuses on, yet is not limited to, explorations of North American cultural practices and encourages dialogues between seemingly distant disciplines.
