Screening Europe in Australasia

Transnational Silent Film Before and After the Rise of Hollywood

JULIE K. ALLEN

Ground-breaking use of digitized Australian and New Zealand newspapers to reconstruct the lost circulation history of silent films.

Exhaustive documentation of the distribution and exhibition of European silent feature films in the Antipodes.

Compelling biographical sketches of the ambitious pioneers of the Australasian cinema industry.

This book’s treatment of the extensive circulation of European silent features and stars in Australasia reveals the vibrant transnationalism of silent film before the rise of Hollywood, and frames the emergence of art house cinema in the 1920s.

PRAISE FOR SCREENING EUROPE IN AUSTRALASIA

The author's arguments and conclusions carefully and convincingly draw on wellselected historical sources: archival documentation and the daily Australasian press.

Professor Emeritus Dr Martin Loiperdinger, University of Trier, Germany

A superb contribution to transnational cinema studies, specifically the history of film distribution, exhibition, and reception in the silent period. Focused on the usually neglected region of Australia and New Zealand, Allen’s book is a model of extensive original research (in several languages), an admirable series of topical chapters, a list of hundreds of imported European film titles, and an enviable, accessible writing style.

Professor Richard Abel, University of Michigan

Sometimes reading a book is like finding the missing jigsaw puzzle piece and with it, the satisfaction of understanding how everything fits together to realize a more complete picture. This is one such book. Julie Allen has, with meticulous research, filled in the gaps to show how the social experience and entrepreneurial economy of cinema in Australasia has, from the outset, been diversly transnational. The films may have been silent and monochromatic, but this book presents, in full surround sound and vibrant colour, the overlooked early history of European films in the antipodes.

Professor Deb Verhoeven, University of Alberta

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Julie K. Allen is Professor of Comparative Arts and Letters at Brigham Young University. She is the author of Icons of Danish Modernity: Georg Brandes & Asta Nielsen (2012), as well as numerous articles about European silent film, fairy tales, migration, and the construction of cultural identity.

The Yemeni Civil War

The Arab Spring, State formation and internal instability

ELHAM MANEA

An original theoretical framework to understand the political instability that followed the Arab Uprisings.

Detailed analysis focused on Yemen, but also considers Syria, Libya and Bahrain.

Based on original archival research and more than 100 interviews with all parties in the Yemeni Civil War and with other regional actors.

This book suggests an innovative theoretical framework to understand the meltdown and civil wars of countries such as Yemen, Syria, and Libya after their 2011 uprisings, using Yemen as a case study. The interaction between different types of state formation and regional rivalry can explain, respectively, the civil wars of these countries and the preservation of the Bahraini system, despite its ethnic nature.

The analysis works on two interconnected levels: First, an internal level focusing on the state formation of the country in question; and second, a regional level examining the operational context within which each country functions, and the type of actors involved in its political affairs.

The recurrent instability in Yemen has been a result of overlapping group grievances repeatedly rising to the surface. This reflects a process of different attempts at state formation that ultimately failed to produce a modern state, along with core elites defined by (and at the same time exploiting) ethnic markers, perpetually infighting throughout Yemeni history. These three elements—tensions between groups, unsuccessful state formations, and the ethnic markers of its elites—stand at the core of the Yemeni dilemma. This book is based on original archival research and more than 100 interviews conducted by the author with all parties of the Yemeni Civil War and with other regional actors.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Elham Manea is a titular professor of political science at Zurich University. Her research focuses on regional politics of the Arabian Peninsula, fragile states in conflict zones in the MENA region, especially Yemen, women under Muslim laws, and political Islam. She is of dual nationalities, Yemeni and Swiss.

The Exeter Companion to Fairies, Nereids, Trolls and other Social Supernatural Beings

European Traditions

SIMON YOUNG, DAVIDE ERMACORA

The first Europe-wide guide to social supernatural beings. Pioneers the notion of the social supernatural, after a generation in which this idea has been neglected. A new model of Europe-wide folklore studies with specialists from different traditions.

Fairies, elves, and other magical beings… they’re so much more than just children’s tales. For centuries, Europeans believed in a parallel supernatural realm inhabited by these beings who lived much like humans in their own communities. This ‘social supernatural’ world mirrored ours with troll weddings, pixy battles, nereid picnics, dwarf migrations, and the like.

The Exeter Companion to Fairies, Nereids, Trolls and other Social Supernatural Beings dives into the rich folklore and oral traditions around the social supernatural across Europe; in fact, it pioneers the term ‘social supernatural’ as a folklore and supernatural category. Bringing together eighteen experts, this is the first comprehensive Europe-wide look at these beliefs and practices. Through in-depth studies, the volume explores how diverse cultures from Ireland to Ukraine, and from Norway to Greece, envisioned their supernatural neighbours and how these parallel societies reflected human concerns and desires.

The book resurrects captivating stories and traditions. For anyone fascinated by European folklore, magic, and mythology, it provides a rich research seam with up-to-date bibliographies for a dozen European countries. It will be of use to folklorists, historians, ethnologists, sociologists and also the general reader interested in the supernatural beliefs of traditional European societies.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Alternative Cornwalls

Literature and the Invention of Place

GEMMA GOODMAN

A fresh look at literary embodiments of Cornwall. Identifies alternative lost or hidden literary versions of Cornwall, and their relationship to the dominant, touristfriendly conception of Cornwall.

Positions Cornish literature as a body of work in its own right and as part of a wider context of British literature and literary studies.

This book takes a fresh look at the representation of Cornwall in literature from the nineteenth century to the present day. It identifies alternative literary ‘Cornwalls’ and seeks to understand these lost, hidden or subsumed versions and their relationship to the dominant, tourist-friendly ways in which Cornwall has been culturally produced, which often focus on Celtic, exotic or Arthurian, tropes.

Taking as its subject matter the work of both Cornish and visiting writers, literary scholar and Cornishwoman Gemma Goodman explores the fictional terrain beyond the creative landmarks that dominate the way in which Cornwall is fashioned and understood in the national imaginary, to establish a more detailed cultural geography of place. The book helps position Cornish literature as a body of work in its own right as well as within the wider context of British literature and literary studies.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Gemma Goodman holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Warwick. She returned home to Cornwall in 2016 and continues her research on the literature of Cornwall, alongside work as a researcher on academic projects and a project manager for cultural and heritage projects.

The Green Children of Woolpit

Chronicles, Fairies and Facts in Medieval England

JOHN CLARK

The first comprehensive academic study of a famous, very curious, and immensely influential but little understood medieval legend.

Close analysis of particular elements of the story and their possible significance in a medieval context—for example: the colour green, the eating of beans, otherworlds, taboos, liminality, and rites of passage.

Offers a critical consideration of the ways in which a puzzling event can be misunderstood, misinterpreted, and manipulated.

Two medieval chroniclers, William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, reported the mysterious appearance of a pair of ‘Green Children’—with green skins and speaking an unknown language—in the Suffolk village of Woolpit in the mid-twelfth century. The story is well known today, usually as a Suffolk folktale about fairies and a fairy otherworld. Retold many times, it continues to inspire novels, poetry, songs, plays, and even operas.

This book analyses the story in its historical and geographical context, and considers the numerous ways in which it has been interpreted, recounted, and reimagined by historians, folklorists, philosophers, and writers. Folklorists have mined it for ‘folktale motifs’ without considering whether it is truly a folktale. Historians have used it as a key to understanding the motives of one or other of the two chroniclers who recorded it. ‘Fortean’ researchers have tried to find a convoluted core of historical fact.

Returning to the two original Latin accounts, this book translates them afresh and analyses them side by side for the first time, allowing us to conclude that both writers were drawing on the same source. Such an interdisciplinary study is necessary when considering the many modern ‘explanations’ of the events that have been offered, from mundane to extraterrestrial. The volume presents an example of how extraordinary events reported by medieval chroniclers can be studied analytically, and will interest not only medievalists but anyone interested in folklore and fairylore—and perhaps inspire others to fresh reworkings of this perpetually intriguing story.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

John Clark was for many years curator of the medieval collections at the Museum of London. Since retiring in 2009, he has continued research, lecturing and writing on topics including the history and archaeology of medieval London, medieval folklore and legends and their relationship to ‘real’ history, and medieval horses and horse equipment.

Fairy Encounters in Medieval England

Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural JEREMY HARTE

A discovery of eerie true stories and a survey of haunted places that shed new light on medieval life.

A unique collection and analysis of supernatural placenames.

A recovery of suppressed vernacular voices from the literate Latin tradition.

What is it like to meet a being from another world? This book collects testimony from eight hundred years of witnesses baffled by the supernatural breaking into their lives. Close reading of miracle collections, chronicles, saints’ lives and sermons shows how they depended on first-hand vernacular voices, never quite suppressed in the Latin of the clergymen who transcribed them.

When people saw spirits, surface identity mattered less than common nature. Whether manifesting as fairies, revenants, local saints or fiends, they came in stock types: goblins, lovers, hunters, pygmies, dogs, indescribable shapeshifting objects. Just as they had preferred forms, so they appeared in particular places. The tradition of English supernatural place-names, never before gathered into a corpus, matches the medieval texts to show what places were haunted and why. The dark pools into which otherworldly things were exorcised, the paths on which they led travellers astray, the hills onto which they descended in search of people to command and seduce, and the meadows where they danced—all these can be found on the cognitive map of the peasantry.

This book sheds new light on anomalous experience in medieval life and the relations it forged between vernacular life-stories and the gate-keepers of the written word. Fairies could cure as well as harm, prophecy as well as deceive: that made them a disruptive force in history, theology and morals. They challenge our ideas of a church-dominated society and once they are admitted into the picture, the Middle Ages will never look the same.

EDITOR BIOGRAPHY

Jeremy Harte is inspired by landscape and the otherworldly. His book Explore Fairy Traditions won the Briggs award, followed by Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape. Serving on the Council of the Folklore Society, he organises their Legendary Weekends. He is curator of Bourne Hall Museum in Surrey.

John Hamrickʼs Blue Mouse Cinemas

Independent Exhibition and Influence in the Studio Era

MICHAEL ARONSON

Fills a strong need for American film history from a regional perspective, mirroring the industryʼs own institutional framework in the era.

Reveals the unexplored role and influence of American indie small-chain movie exhibitors.

Extensive study of regional trade journals brings much new information to light.

John Hamrick's Blue Mouse Cinemas offers a unique, in-depth case study of regional independent film exhibition in the American Pacific Northwest. Focusing on the silent and early sound periods, this book provides important evidence of the ways an independent entrepreneur, John Hamrick—a charismatic if highly flawed theatre-owner and card-carrying Klansman—could influence Hollywood film culture, as well as exhibition and distribution patterns both within and beyond his region of operation.

The Blue Mouse(s) were a set of charmingly same-named theaters that, beginning in 1920, Hamrick built, opened, and operated across the Pacific Northwest: in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Astoria. In addition to the Mouses, Hamrick would at various times own, in full or in partnership, dozens of other movie houses across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. But the Mouses were always his marque theaters, and ultimately those most closely associated with his theatrical persona, both regionally and within the wider industry.

This book helps us understand the unexplored role and influence of American indie small-chain exhibitors as they continually balanced local and national interests in the name of profitably providing entertainment. The Blue Mouse theaters were part of a well-networked commercial web working across this previously unstudied region. By considering this phenomenon, we can begin to more fully grasp the limits and possibilities of independent exhibition at the height of the studio era, and how the multivalent forces of regionalism intersected with the wider film industry.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Michael Aronson is an Associate Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Oregon. The author of Nickelodeon City: Pittsburgh at the Movies, 1905–1929, his research focuses on the history of American exhibition and moviegoing culture and has appeared in journals including TheMoving Image, FilmHistory and Cinema Journal

The Folklore of Devon

MARK NORMAN

The first major collection of Devonshire folklore for nearly half a century, brought up to date with an examination of internet lore and modern tales.

Unlocks the vital collections of material held in the Devonshire Association archives and provides new analysis and broader comparison with folklore traditions. Offers new insights into oft-quoted folklore tales of Devon.

Devon has a long and rich folkloric heritage which has been extensively collected over many years, but never before drawn together into one serious study. This book consolidates more than a century of research by eminent Devon folklorists into one valuable volume.

PRAISE FOR THE FOLKLORE OF DEVON

Mark Norman is the perfect guide through the pixy-paths of Devon tradition. A teller of good tales with a good understanding of folklore both ancient and modern, he is a worthy successor to the greats – Anna Bray, Theo Brown and Baring-Gould.

Jeremy Harte, author of Explore Fairy Traditions and Cloven Country

A uniquely rich and entertaining exploration of Devon's rich folklore. From local rituals to Black Dogs, Witch and ghosts to the rich oral histories of heritage sites The Folklore of Devon explores the land, its stories and their context.

David Waldron, Senior Lecturer in History at Federation University Australia and author of Sign of the Witch

In the period 1850 to 1950 important efforts were made in Devon to collect local folklore: arguably with more science and nouse than in any other English county. Until now, though, we have lacked an effective overview. With The Folklore of Devon Mark Norman has filled an important gap in the bookshelf of British folklore studies.

Simon Young, author of The Boggart

An entertaining and comprehensive exploration of Devon folklore. Norman takes the old “county folklore” model into new times and territories and displays his wealth of knowledge. Rich in source material, engagingly written, and with delightful illustrations, The Folklore of Devon is a pleasure to read. Owen Davies, author of Grimoires and The Oxford History of Witchcraft and Magic

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Mark Norman was recently appointed as the new Recorder of Folklore for the Devonshire Association, and is well known as a popular folklorist around the world thanks to his creation, The Folklore Podcast, which has enjoyed more than 1.5 million downloads. He is a council member of the Folklore Society and founding curator of The Folklore Library and Archive. The Folklore of Devon is Mark’s fourth book.

Paganism Persisting

A History of European Paganisms since Antiquity

ROBIN DOUGLAS, FRANCIS YOUNG

The first modern academic history of paganism, from antiquity to the twentieth century.

Critiques the existing idea of paganism ʻsurvivingʼ beyond antiquity and proposes a renewed historiography emphasising revivals of paganism.

Ranges widely over a variety of European cultures.

Paganism in Europe was not defeated by Christianity: it never went away. From the fourth century to the twentieth, against the background of a largely Christian culture, people repeatedly attempted to revive various kinds of preChristian religion – beliefs and practices that we have come to label as ‘paganism’.

Ancient paganism did not survive the Middle Ages in its original form; this book tells the story of the persistence of elements of paganism and the pagan idea through Europe’s pagan revivals, from Byzantine Greece to medieval Eastern Europe and Renaissance Florence, from eighteenth-century Norwich to revolutionary Paris and Edwardian England. While some of these revivals are well known and others are almost entirely forgotten, they reveal the rich diversity of interpretations of paganism – and how those interpretations have been conditioned by the surrounding culture.

Revived paganisms ranged from the austerely rational to the earnestly romantic, from the mystical and occult to the stridently nationalistic. Paganism Persisting reveals European paganism’s long afterlife, up to and including the emergence of modern paganism as a mass movement in the twentieth century. The authors are both historians of religion specializing, respectively, in the intellectual history of the idea of paganism and in the development of popular religion and folklore. This book has much to offer to anyone interested in European cultural history, the history of ideas and religious studies.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Robin Douglas is a writer and researcher based in London. His work is on the history of esoteric and pagan religious traditions from antiquity to the present day.

Francis Young teaches for Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education and is the author or editor of over 20 books in the fields of the history of religion and folklore.

The Screen Censorship Companion

Critical Explorations in the Control of Film and Screen Media

DANIEL BILTEREYST, ERNEST MATHIJS

An exhaustive coverage of censorship as it manifests across the world and throughout film history. The international assembly of contributors offer perspective from as far afield as Argentina and Japan. Packed with new and exclusive research data.

Throughout the history of film, censorship has existed everywhere—in all shapes, colours, and dimensions. The act of restricting the free production, circulation, screening, and consumption of movies was never unique to authoritarian regimes. Censorship has had far-reaching implications for filmmakers, distributors, exhibitors, and audiences across generations and across genres, including the self-censorship of audiences disciplined into particular viewership positions. Today, soft and hard censorship coexist in ever-more fluid forms; the banning, regulating, trimming, and tailoring of films for ‘harmless’ consumption all exemplify wider debates about access to media.

This companion brings together contemporary and historical views on censorship, covering Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The book considers Hollywood’s practices and the United States’ legislative context as important frames of reference for the study of filmed entertainment censorship, be they concerned with obscene materials or plain mainstream movie fare. American cinema remains a wider compass, as evidenced by how studies in this companion, which deal with local and regional censorship, appear to have American movies as their targets.

This volume showcases the broad international scope of censorship through detailed examinations of censorship practices. The diversity of case studies is an indication of the global reach of censorship—nothing can escape its grasp. Ultimately, the censorship of screen access is a struggle for power and control; this book demonstrates how intense this struggle can become, and how compromises and solutions are found.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Daniel Biltereyst is Professor in Film and Media Studies at Ghent University, Belgium. He is the (co-)editor of several volumes on cinema audiences and censorship. In 2020 he published a monograph on the history of film/cinema censorship in Belgium, Verboden Beelden, and made a documentary with Bruno Mestdagh on film cuttings (Ongezien/invisible, 2020, Cinematek).

Ernest Mathijs is Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. He has written on cult cinema, the reception of Canadian and European genre cinema, The Lord of the Rings, reality-TV, Thomas Pynchon, and on Delphine Seyrig. In 2020 he co-wrote the two-part documentary The Quiet Revolution

The International Arms Trade

Reconfiguration of the Defence-Industrial Landscape

KENNETH BOUTIN

A major original contribution in situating international arms transfers in defence–industrial processes. Breaks new ground in examining the role of emerging arms suppliers.

Provides important insights into the evolving international arms-transfer system and efforts to manage the conventional arms trade.

This volume provides an analytical framework for the international armstransfer system and offers important insights into that system as it is being transformed by the development of the defence–industrial landscape. Breaking new ground by situating international arms transfers within the reconfiguration of the global defence–industrial landscape, the book demonstrates the coevolving nature of arms transfer and defence–industrial processes.

Understanding how the arms-transfer system is evolving is crucial due to its impact on the proliferation of conventional arms and on efforts to control the arms trade. Emerging arms-supplier states are undermining the established hierarchy of the international arms-transfer system. The importance of the international arms trade is demonstrated by its contribution to the defence of Ukraine and by ongoing concern over the proliferation of advanced arms to rogue states, a trend in which emerging supplier states feature prominently.

This volume is intended for those with a professional or research interest in international security and strategic studies, either in general or in terms of the international arms trade, arms-trade control, or defence development issues.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Kenneth Boutin graduated with a PhD in Political Science from York University and served as Senior Arms Control and Disarmament Researcher at the Verification Research, Training and Information Centre. His research interests focus on the political economy of security.

A Reader in the History of Everyday Life KATE FERRIS, HUW HALSTEAD

The first book of its kind to bring to readers the diverse source base of everyday life history research across the globe.

Adopts a novel approach to the documentary reader, prioritising rich, detailed, and textured explorations of micro-scale situations and practices accompanied by expert analysis.

Demonstrates the appeal, fascination, and potential of everyday life history.

This book is the first of its kind to present readers with the rich and innovative source base deployed by scholars studying everyday life in the modern era. Twenty-eight researchers from diverse intellectual and disciplinary standpoints each present a favourite primary source for studying the history of everyday life, accompanied by a reflective commentary on the benefits, challenges, and potential pitfalls of using their chosen material.

The sources included range from ego documents (diaries, memoirs, letters), oral testimonies, ethnographic fieldnotes, newspapers, magazines, and official documents to photographs, film, maps, floor plans, drawings, material objects, and instant messages. They cover topics and themes as varied as individual mentalities, emotions, identities, sense of place, sexuality, and agency; experiences of space, violence, war, childhood, humour, the body, and the senses; and the history of nationalism, diplomacy, political activism, youth culture, tourism, memory, dictatorship, colonialism, and race and racism.

This book demonstrates not only the texture and fascination of people’s everyday lives, but also what a critical reading of this microscale can reveal about the broader sweep of history. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students alike interested in everyday life, in micro- and localscales of analysis, and in the study of history and society ‘from below’.

The Dhofar War

British Covert Campaigning in Arabia 1965-1975

STEPHEN QUICK

Shows how Britain was the key element in securing a rare and historic Cold War counterinsurgency win.

Distils the largely covert recipe for British counterinsurgency success in the Dhofar War.

Provides key lessons for future counterinsurgency campaign planning and execution when supporting an ally or partner.

Between 1965 and 1975, Britain discreetly supported the Sultanate of Oman in achieving a historic Cold War-era counterinsurgency win in its remote Dhofar Province. To date, this role has traditionally been represented either in terms of a narrow operational success or has been reduced to one of failure-oriented peripheral player. The Dhofar War: British Covert Campaigning in Arabia 1965–1975 re-examines the historical record to present a more balanced verdict of the war and the overall importance of the UK’s role.

In an original approach, the author puts forward the case that the hitherto undersold scale of UK military and non-martial assistance to Oman during the Dhofar War was the primary war-winning factor. Alongside this, he makes the key assertion that Britain’s role changed significantly throughout—from dominance in facilitating the war’s prosecution, to one that was more advisory or support oriented as the Sultanate fought back against a communist-backed insurgency.

With in-depth research undertaken in archives and collections in the UK and Oman, the author caters for a broad international audience. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of military, counterinsurgency and Middle Eastern/Arabian Peninsula history, the military and governmental policy community, and members of the public with an interest in this region’s history.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Stephen Quick is a staff member at the UAE National Defence College, and holds a PhD from King’s College London. Living in the Middle East for over a decade, his research interests include Britain’s post-World War Two counterinsurgency campaigns and Arabian Peninsula history. UK,

Child and Adolescent Migration, Mental Health, and Language

Effects of Trauma and Foreign Language Immersions

FERNANDA CARRA-SALSBERG

A novel approach to the study of child and adolescent migrations and their relation to cumulative traumas.

Comprehensive examination of the short and long-term factors affecting young migrants.

A detailed understanding of what it means to experience migrancy and to live between languages from a young age.

Child and Adolescent Migration, Mental Health, and Language, focuses on migration and the socio-affective significance of language. It examines how this influences children’s and adolescents’ development, subjectivity, identifications, and identity formations. By taking a thorough approach to the intricacy of migrancy, this timely publication examines the many challenges that young economic migrants, environmental migrants, refugees, irregular migrants, and asylum seekers encounter prior to and following their geographic, sociocultural, and linguistic relocations. While not disregarding the benefits that can stem from international relocations, Carra-Salsberg also addresses contemporary concerns influencing young migrants’ socio-affective experiences.

As part of the book’s discussion on the subjective significance of language, it takes a semiotic, pedagogic, and psychoanalytic approach to study the effects of foreign-language immersions and significant language learning, and how these can add to pre-existing traumas. The developmental importance of language is considered through theory, the analysis of memoirs, and the author’s depiction and understanding of her own experiences between languages. Written for academics, psychologists, psychiatrists, pedagogues, counsellors, human rights advocates, and policy-makers, this book highlights the intricate connections between language, migration, and mental health. The restorative significance of language is also reflected upon in relation to migrants’ natural need to grieve, testify, and find meaning within their past and present sense of self.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Fernanda Carra-Salsberg has been a postsecondary foreign language educator since 2001. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, her interest in language, culture, migration, trauma, and identity formations stems from her repeated relocations as a child and adolescent migrant, and from experiences as a foreign-language pedagogue. She teaches English as a Second Language and Spanish to heritage and second-language learners at York University, Ontario, Canada. Widely published, Carra-Salsberg completed an interdisciplinary doctoral degree at the Faculty of Education, York University.

Gulf Womenʼs Lives

Voice, Space, Place

EMANUELA BUSCEMI, SHAHD ALSHAMMARI, ILDIKO KAPOSI

Focus on womenʼs narratives offers many fresh insights into the lives of Gulf women.

Fills a major gap in research, busts myths and counters stereoptypes.

Breadth of expertise among contributors offers fruitful multidisciplinarity and broad appeal.

This edited volume investigates how Gulf women negotiate spaces of dissent through their writing. The focus on women’s narratives offers critical perspectives on how Gulf women construct themselves as gendered selves and authors, how they exist in public and private spaces, and how voice and agency are part of their conversations.

PRAISE FOR GULF WOMENʼS LIVES

Gulf Women’s Lives provides a genuine reflection of the ongoing feminist movements and feminist writings throughout the Gulf states, positioning itself as a credible reference in an area of study that is yet to receive full recognition. It serves as both a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary exploration, offering a powerful account of voices that exemplify the maturation of literary and scholarly production of women in the Gulf region.

Amal Mohammed Al-Malki, Qatari feminist and scholar author of Arab Women in Arab News: Old Stereotypes and New Media

This absorbing volume explores women's lives in the Gulf by elevating their voices, engaging public spaces, and traversing new places, both historical and liminal. Through personal chronicles, literary analysis, and political inquiry, the authors persistently ask what "new ways of seeing the world their narratives open up." The result is a more generous context for reflecting on Khaleeji identity, re-centered on the diverse lived experience of women.

Kristin Smith Diwan, The Arab Gulf State Institute, Washington DC

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Emanuela Buscemi is a sociologist and International Relations specialist whose areas of research include women and gender narratives, social (non)movements, agency and activism in the Arabian Gulf and Latin America.

Caesarism in the 21st Century Crisis

and Interregnum in World Order

ERIC FATTOR

This bookʼs gives a historical view of the current era of disarray and demagoguery, revealing how it is not unprecedented.

Makes a connection between the controversies and crises surrounding the proliferation of Web 2.0 and 3.0 technologies and the disarray in world order. Offers some possible future scenarios of world order once the current period of Caesarist transition ends.

The troubles of the contemporary moment in history can be interpreted many different ways. Indeed, there has been no shortage of analysis and commentary on events like the attacks of September 11th, the Great Recession, the Arab Spring, the election of Donald Trump and the global pandemic. This book, however, argues that the most insightful analysis comes from the application of a neo-Gramscian framework that sees these events as “morbid symptoms” of an interregnum in world order between an older historic bloc of power losing its legitimacy and a still undefined new historic bloc in the process of being born.

Like previous interregnums, this period of transition is marked by eruptions of Caesarism where charismatic “men of destiny” boosted by populist fervor assume leading roles in the governing institutions of their states and make bids for global leadership or domination. Unlike previous eras, however, these “digital Caesars” have been most empowered by the proliferation of electronic information and media capabilities that have revolutionized human interaction since the end of the previous century.

At the head of superpower states and Silicon Valley technology companies, this new breed of Caesar is taking advantage of the loss of legitimacy in conventional institutions to remake the world according to their eclectic visions. Like previous Caesars, however, their power is fragile and will likely disappear assuming a new world order can take hold before they do permanent damage to human civilization.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Eric Fattor is a member of the faculty at Colorado State University, teaching courses in international politics, security studies and political theory. His research and publications examine how media and information platforms constitute forms of power in global politics and play a key part in various forms of international conflict.

D.H. Lawrence and Cornwall

In Search of Utopia

PHILIP PAYTON

Reveals the fascinating story of D.H. Lawrenceʼs attempt to start a utopian community.

Rare new perspectives on Lawrenceʼs life and work. Reflects on Cornish identity and the place of Cornwall in the English imagination.

This book examines D.H. Lawrence’s attempts to establish a utopian community in Cornwall during WWI. Lawrence was drawn to the idea of a ‘Celtic Cornwall’ beyond England’s reach and thus remote from the war. But it caught up with Cornwall and Lawrence, resulting in disillusion and eventual expulsion. He described his Cornish sojourn in Kangaroo.

PRAISE FOR D.H. LAWRENCE AND CORNWALL

This important book places Lawrence in the field of Cornish Studies, of which Payton is one of the foremost pioneers. Written from an ‘insider’ perspective, Payton’s book places a fresh and much needed focus on the influence that Cornwall had on Lawrence. Payton combines rigorous research with a thoroughly engaging prose style meaning that D. H. Lawrence and Cornwall is an enjoyable scholarly book which breaks new and fruitful academic ground.

Dr Ruth Heholt, Professor of Literature and Culture, Falmouth University

Payton gives us the essential treatment of D.H. Lawrence’s pivotal Cornish sojourn. With a lifetime of considering that land’s unique character, Payton wields unmatched authority as he gracefully embraces Lawrence and Cornwall. This enchanting view of a place and an author is a ‘must have’ for Lawrence enthusiasts.

Ronald M. James, historian and author of The Folklore of Cornwall

An absorbing exploration of the intertwined histories of a mercurial writer and an extraordinary community in an extraordinary time. D.H. Lawrence's stay in Cornwall during the First World War lasted only a few short years, but it was full of incident. Payton’s profound knowledge of the history and folklore of Cornwall is evident as he delves into every aspect of the subject - Lawrence's own accounts and those of his associates, local histories, and, significantly, his fiction.

Dr Gillian Dooley, Honorary Associate Professor in English Literature, Flinders University

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Philip Payton is Emeritus Professor in the University of Exeter and Professor of History at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. He is the former Director of the Institute of Cornish Studies in the University of Exeter. He edited Cornish Studies, published annually from 1993 to 2013, the only series of publications that seeks to investigate and understand the complex nature of Cornish identity, as well as to discuss its implications for society and governance in contemporary Cornwall.

Theatre Censorship in Contemporary Europe

Silence and Protest

ANNE ETIENNE, CHRIS MEGSON

The book discusses censorship through the work of key European playwrights, directors, and theatre makers, as well as significant theatre (and opera) productions. It engages with urgent and topical debates on freedom of expression, multiculturalism, religious co-existence, cancel culture, populism, nationalism, and globalisation in contemporary Europe.

The contributors are specialist experts from across Europe and include both leading academics and emerging scholars.

With contributions from an international range of scholars, this groundbreaking study explores the forms, contexts, and impacts of theatre censorship in twenty-first-century Europe.

PRAISE FOR THEATRE CENSORSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY EUROPE

Both timely and urgent. Bringing together diverse and strong voices from various European contexts, this excellent collection examines the location of theatre censorship after institutional state control has been officially scrapped across Europe, asking: how does silencing and resistance take place today and to what ends? This book offers fresh and thought-provoking perspectives on the ever-pertinent discourses and experiences of censorship as it investigates a range of its manifestations. And to know the various guises in which contemporary censorship appears is the first steps towards knowing how to resist it.

Silvija Jestrovic, Professor of Theatre and Performance, University of Warwick

This collection offers an urgently needed update on the censorship of theatre and performance across Europe. It provides original and compelling insights into the impact of the latest political developments and the complexities of ‘cancel culture’, and engages with a wide range of different forms of performance. Essential reading for anyone interested in the pressures which shape European theatre culture today.

Dr Helen Freshwater, author of Theatre Censorship in Britain

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Anne Etienne lectures in Modern and Contemporary Drama in the School of English, University College Cork. Her publications explore theatre censorship, Arnold Wesker and contemporary Irish theatre.

Chris Megson is Reader in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. His publications focus on post-war and contemporary British playwriting, theatre censorship, and global theatres of the real.
