DescriptionThis book looks at some of the key genres in Japanese cinema since 1997. In several cases it considers in detail the ways in which individual films have both drawn and departed from those films that have comprised the key works and trends in these generic categories, and in others it looks at some significant recent developments that have little re al precedence in filmmaking in Japan. Through close textual analysis of representative films, the study seeks to elucidate the prevalence of repetition and variation in contemporary Japanese genre cinema, to understand some of the reasons behind this paradigm, and analyse where relevant how and to what extent new modes or generic groups fit into the schema. In so doing it seeks for the first time in English language discourse to offer an academic appreciation and overview of popular Japanese of the last two decades.

DescriptionThis book questions the meanings of ‘independence’ for documentaries made in the post-1990 context, a period of unrivalled disruption and creativity in the field. Based upon a reasoned selection of contributions, it is the first collection of in-depth case studies cutting across formats, media, subject matters, purposes and national divides.

Writing from a wide range of academic perspectives, the contributors shed new light on historical, theoretical and empirical issues pertaining to the independent documentary, in order to better comprehend the radical transformations of the form over the past twenty years. Compared to existing studies, this volume focuses on works and practitioners existing at the margins of the traditional media, the mainstream film industry and the prevailing economic and socio-political systems; yet greatly contributing to changing our perception of documentaries. And in doing so, it addresses an important gap in the global understanding of documentary practices and styles.

Presents in-depth case studies focusing on major aspects of post-1990 documentary practices and styles

Description‘New Bollywood’ has arrived, but its postmodern impulse often leaves film scholars reluctant to theorise its aesthetics. How do we define the style of a contemporary Bollywood film? Are Bollywood films just uninspired Hollywood rip-offs, or does their borrowing signal genuine innovation within the industry?

Applying postmodern concepts and locating postmodern motifs in key commercial Hindi films, this innovative study reveals how Indian cinema has changed in the 21st century. Equipping readers with an alternative method of reading contemporary Indian cinema, Bollywood and Postmodernism takes Indian film studies beyond the exhausted theme of diaspora, and exposes a new decade of aesthetic experimentation and textual appropriation in mainstream Bombay cinema.

A bold celebration of contemporary Bollywood texts, this book radically redefines Indian film and persuasively argues for its seriousness as a field of study in world cinema.

DescriptionThe last three decades in Iraqi history can be summarized in these words: dictatorship, war and occupation. After the fall of Saddam’s regime Iraqi novelists are not only writing about the occupation and current disintegration of Iraq but are also revisiting previous wars that devastated their lives. Ikram Masmoudi examines how recent Iraqi fiction about war depicts the Iraqi subject in its relation to war, coercion, subjugation and occupation. The theoretical concept of the Homo Sacer, the killable, as defined by Giorgio Agamben, is used to explore the lives and the experiences of different war actors such as the soldier, the war deserter, the camp detainee and the suicide bomber depicted in in their 'bare life' as sacred men doomed to death in the necropolitical context.

The authors investigate whether the common law trust could be understood as a civil law patrimony by appropriation, and whether civil law and mixed traditions could create local versions of the common law trust using patrimony as the main conceptual building block.

War and the MindFord Madox Ford's Parade's End, Modernism, and Psychology

Edited by Ashley Chantler and Rob Hawkes

DescriptionThis is the first full-length critical study of Parade’s End to focus on the psychological effects of the war. Originally published in 4 volumes between 1924 and 1928, Parade’s End has been described as ‘the finest novel about the First World War’ (Anthony Burgess), ‘the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman’ (Samuel Hynes), ‘a central Modernist novel of the 1920s, in which it is exemplary’ (Malcolm Bradbury), and ‘possibly the greatest 20th-century novel in English’ (John N. Gray).

These 10 newly commissioned essays focus on the psychological effects of the war, both upon Ford himself and upon his novel: its characters, its themes and its form. The chapters explore: Ford’s pioneering analysis of war trauma, trauma theory, shell shock, memory and repression, insomnia, empathy, therapy, literary Impressionism and literary style. Writers discussed alongside Ford include Joseph Conrad, Siegfried Sassoon, May Sinclair, and Rebecca West, as well as theorists Deleuze and Guattari, Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud, William James, and W. H. R. Rivers.

Forgetting DifferencesTragedy, Historiography and the French Wars of Religion

Andrea Frisch

The AuthorAndrea Frisch is Associate Professor of French at the University of Maryland.

June 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 9439 6 • £70.00 BIC: DD, DS, HBL

DescriptionThis study argues that the political and legislative process of forgetting internal differences, undertaken in France after the civil wars of the 16th century, leads to subtle yet fundamental shifts in the broader conception of the relationship between readers or spectators on the one hand, and the matter of history, on the other. These shifts, occasioned by the desire for communal reconciliation and generally associated with an increasingly modern sensibility, will nonetheless prove useful to the ideologies of cultural and political absolutism.

By juxtaposing representations of the French civil war past as they appear (and frequently overlap) in historiography and tragedy from 1550-1630, Adrea Frisch tracks changes in the ways in which history and tragedy sought to 'move'readers throughout the period of the wars and in their wake. The book shows that a shift from a politically (and martially) active reading of the past to a primarily affective one follows the imperative, so clear and urgent at the turn of the seventeenth century, to put an end to violent conflict. The emotions that neoclassical tragedy and absolutist historiography sought to elicit were intended above all to be shared, and thus a medium via which political differences could be downplayed or forgotten. The book aims to illuminate some of the ways in which the experience of the wars of religion, as registered in tragedy and historiography, contributed to a restructuring of the ever-vital relationship between emotion and politics, and thereby to historicize the very concept of 'esmouvoir'.

DescriptionFor centuries, writers have explored the intimate links between the page and the skin, between the hand and writing, and between language and the caress. It is only in recent decades, however, that touch has become the subject of scholarship. And yet despite the current surge of interest in the surface of our bodies, the precise relationship between touching and writing remains neglected. Drawing on new debates in deconstruction and psychoanalysis, this book provides an original and timely intervention in the field, investigating the different ways that literary texts make contact with or ‘touch’ their readers. Examining touch in relation to a range of contemporary works, the book poses four main questions: In what ways is a text like a skin? How do literary texts play out both the limits and possibilities of contact? What is the role of the hand in writing? And how do advancements in digital and haptic technologies change the way we think about writing and touching?

The first sustained study to explore the relationship between touching and writing in contemporary literature


Literary Studies

Key Features• Proposes a new theory of ‘tactile poetics’ to conceptualise the relationship

Imagining SurveillanceUtopian and Dystopian Literature and Film

DescriptionImagining Surveillance presents the first full-length study of the depiction and assessment of surveillance in literature and film. Focusing on the utopian genre (which includes positive and negative worlds), this book offers an in-depth account of the ways in which the most creative writers, filmmakers and thinkers have envisioned alternative worlds in which surveillance in various forms plays a key concern. Ranging from Thomas More’s genre-defining Utopia to Spike Jones’ provocative film Her, Imagining Surveillance explores the long history of surveillance in creative texts well before and after George Orwell’s iconic Nineteen Eighty-Four. It fits that key novel into a five hundred year narrative that includes some of the most provocative and inventive accounts of surveillance as it is and as it might be in the future. The book explains the sustained use of these works by surveillance scholars, but goes much further and deeper in explicating their brilliant and challenging diversity. With chapters on surveillance studies, surveillance in utopias before Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four itself, and utopian texts post-Orwell that deal with visibility, spaces, identity, technology and the shape of things to come, Imagining Surveillance sits firmly in the emerging cultural studies of surveillance.

Critically assesses how literary and cinematic utopias and dystopias have imagined and evaluated surveillance

DescriptionThis critical study of Hardy’s short stories provides a thorough account of the ruling preoccupations and recurrent writing strategies of his entire corpus as well as providing detailed readings of several individual texts. It relates the formal choices imposed on Hardy as contributor to Blackwood’s Magazine and other periodicals to the methods he employed to encode in fiction his troubled attitude towards the social politics of the West Country, where most of the stories are set. No previous criticism has shown how the powerful challenges to the reader mounted in Hardy’s later stories reveal the complexity of his motivations during a period when he was moving progressively in the direction of exchanging fiction for poetry.

A critical study of Thomas Hardy’s short stories

208 pp 234 x 156 mm

short stories• The provision of extremely full, extremely detailed, close readings of a

number of key stories enhances the book’s attractiveness as a potential teaching resource

• Draws on the work of social historians to make clear the background of social and political unrest in Dorset that is partly uncovered and partly hidden in Hardy’s portrayals of his fictional Wessex

• Offers fascinating insights into Hardy’s near-obsession in his mature phase with the marriage contract, and with its legal binding of erratic men and women

Butler and EthicsEdited by Moya Lloyd

The EditorMoya Lloyd is Professor of Political Theory at Loughborough University.

June 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 7884 6 • £70.00 BIC: HPQ, HPS, JPA

DescriptionJudith Butler is best known for Gender Trouble (1990), the book that introduced the idea of gender performativity. However, with the publication of Giving an Account of Oneself in 2005, it appeared as if her work had taken a different turn, away from considerations of sex, gender, sexuality and politics and towards ethics.

This collection of 10 essays offers the first sustained evaluation of that alleged turn. Bringing together a group of internationally renowned theorists, the volume will explore issues such as whether there has been an ‘ethical turn’ in Butler’s work or whether, in fact, the increasing emphasis on ethics is merely the culmination of ideas inherent in her earlier work: how ethics relates to politics and how both connect to her increasing concern with violence, war and conflict.

Butler and Ethics will break new ground in scholarship on Butler and will also advance on-going debates about materiality and the body, biopolitics, affect theory, precariousness and subjectification.

June 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 8097 9 • £80.00 BIC: DSK, HPQ, HPS, JFFZ, JFSJ1

DescriptionWhat is man? Judith Still examines Derrida’s contribution to this long-standing philosophical and political debate, exploring a range of writings including fables and fiction. This leads to ethical questions about how humans treat animals: sacrificing animals (say, in factory farms) while extending love to pets. And it leads to political questions about how we dehumanise ‘outsiders’, from historical matters such as colonialism and slavery to contemporary issues such as State Terror in response to ‘rogue states’.

June 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 8606 3 • £70.00 BIC: JPA, JPHL, JPSD

DescriptionThis insightful and original exploration of the important but unequal relationship between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher offers a new regionally focused approach to the study of Anglo-American relations. It explores the tension and crises that marked the relationship emanating from the turbulent Latin American region and Anglo-American efforts to normalise relations in the crises’ aftermath. This new interpretation of the Reagan-Thatcher relationship analyses pivotal moments including the Falklands War, the US invasion of Grenada, the Anglo-Guatemalan dispute over Belize and the contentious US involvement in Nicaragua. Its use of recently released primary documents and elite interviews reveal new evidence which provide an alternative vantage-point from which to assess the so-called Special Relationship.

DescriptionThis book explores the political force of aesthetic experience and the role space plays in politics. It argues that politics is about forms of perceiving the world and modes of relating to it. How this world is constructed, disclosed and disrupted are matters of politics, and so Space, Politics and Aesthetics offers an understanding of politics based on apprehension and revelation. This implies a particular relationship between space and politics; rather than a given background for relations between things, space here implies a capacity for things to appear and exhibit relations of simultaneity and order. This book argues that space is a form of appearance and a mode of actuality, and the disruption of such forms and modes is the sublime element in politics.

Explores the relationship between space, politics and aesthetics through an engagement with Arendt, Rancière and Nancy

DescriptionHow might the alienation of the artist in modern Scotland be overcome? How do you incite a popular folk revival? Can a poet truly speak with the ‘voice of the people’? And what happens to the writer who rejects print culture in favour of becoming Anon.? The life and times of polymath, scholar, author and folk-hero, Hamish Henderson (1919–2002), poses, and helps us to answer, these questions. This book examines his life-long commitment to finding a form of artistic expression suitable for post-war Europe. Though Henderson is a major figure in Scottish cultural history, his reputation is largely maintained through anecdotes and radical folk songs. This study explores his ideas in their intellectual, cultural and political contexts. It describes how all of his works – in war poetry, song collection, folklore scholarship, folksong revivalism, literary translation, and vicious public debates – reflect this desire to see the artist fully reintegrated in society.

Taking on the Political is a series of monographs that ‘take on’ the political as both an acceptance and a challenge. The series interrogates received accounts of the relation between political thought and political practice, criticizes and engages with the contemporary political imagination, and reflects on the ongoing transformations of politics. The texts are concise and polemical. They are oriented towards critique, developments in Continental thought, and the crossing of disciplinary borders.

Relations between Britain and America constitute arguably the world's single most important bilateral relationship since the Second World War, from co-operation during the war and post-war recovery, through the Cold War to today's high profile war on terror. For much of this time, the relationship has been little debated or questioned outwith academic circles. However recent and current events – 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq in particular – have brought discussion of the special relationship into the mainstream. In addition, they have fuelled renewed debate about the wider political, military, economic and cultural implications of Anglo-American relations and the post-World War Two international system that the US and Britain largely designed and subsequently supported.

This series of advanced textbooks in TESOL comprises individual volumes addressing an identifiable subfield within TESOL in more depth than would be covered in an introductory textbook to the area as a whole. Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees.

As a whole, the series provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.

Edinburgh Studies in Law was launched by Edinburgh University Press in 2005 in association with the Edinburgh Law Review Trust. The series provides a forum for high-quality academic writing on contemporary substantive law, private and public, and for legal theory and legal history. A distinctive feature is a focus on Scots law and legal culture from an international and comparative perspective. Scots law is among the handful of legal systems that combines common law with civil law, and some of the initial volumes in the series explore aspects of such 'mixed' legal systems.
