Jeffrey Geiger is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Essex.

What key concerns are reflected in documentaries produced in and about the United States? How have documentaries engaged with competing visions of US history, culture, politics, and national identity?

This book examines how documentary films have contributed to the American public sphere - creating a kind of public space, serving as sites for community-building, public expression, and social innovation. Geiger focuses on how documentaries have been significant in forming ideas of the nation, both as an imagined space and a real place.

Moving from the dawn of cinema to the present day, this is the first full-length study to focus on the extensive range and history of American non-fiction filmmaking. Combining comprehensive overviews with in-depth case studies, Geiger maps American documentary’s intricate histories, examining the impact of pre- and early cinema, travelogues, the avant-garde, 1930s social documentary, propaganda, direct cinema, postmodernism, and ‘new’ documentary. Offering detailed close analyses and fresh insights, this book provides a stimulating guide to American documentary, reminding us of its important place in cinema history.

Key Features• Historical overview of the evolution of

documentary film in the US• Outlines significant forms of US documentary

such as travel films, avant-garde, social documentary, postmodernism, and ‘new’ documentary

• Case studies include Nanook of the North, The Plow that Broke the Plains, Grey Gardens, and Fahrenheit 9/11

• Analysis of critical debates relating to filmic representations of reality

They explore the formal aspects of the music video in order to highlight industry-wide conventions and develop a critical vocabulary for studying music videos.

Key Features• Provides a framework for how to describe and

analyse a music video• Uses case studies from internationally well

known artists, such as Kylie, Shakiria and Beyonce to explore issues of representation of gender, sexuality and ethnicity

• Draws on classic and contemporary videos froma range of musical styles, from Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera to Gorillaz and Metallica

Steve Redhead is Professor of Sport and Media Cultures at the University of Brighton.

Is it possible that various disciplines, theorists and cultural commentators have been hurtling down a blind alley in the last thirty years, searching for the holy grail of the postmodern? What if, after all, we have never have been postmodern? Or what if we are, instead, now living ‘after postmodernity’?

As global culture rushes off the cliff of catastrophe with its neo-liberal, neo-conservative ideologies mangled in the process, this book provides theory at the speed of light designed to capture the fast flickering images of the real, gone before you can blink in today’s accelerated culture.

Steven Jacobs teaches Film History and Film Theory at Sint-Lukas College of Art Brussels, the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent and the University of Antwerp.

Through the feature films and documentaries of directors including Emmer, Erice, Godard, Hitchcock, Pasolini, Resnais, Rossellini and Storck, Jacobs examines the way films ‘animate’ artworks by means of cinematic techniques, such as camera movements and editing, or by integrating them into a narrative. He explores how this ‘mobilization’ of the artwork is brought into play in art documentaries and artist biopics, as well as in feature films containing key scenes situated in museums. Illustrated throughout, this study of the presence of art in film, alongside the omnipresence of the filmic image in today’s art museums, is an engaging work for students and scholars of film and art alike.

Sue Harper is Emeritus Profesor of Film Studies and Justin Smith is Principal Lecturer and Subject Leader for the undergraduate honours programmes in Film Studies, both at the University of Portsmouth.

Previous accounts presented British film culture of the 1970s as without either coherence or quality. This book refutes this by offering a comprehensive map which reveals a surprising commonality in theme and tone across a diverse range of films. It sets the scene by describing the market conditions, and economic, legislative and censorship constraints on British cinema in the decade. The book then goes on to establish the key themes of the film culture of the 1970s: the transformation of gender relations, social space, cultural competence, the landscape of ideas, and generic forms. Its exploration of these themes reveals common moods: irony and anxiety suffuse the whole film culture. A shared visual and performance style is shown to characterise this diverse cinema.

British Film Culture of the 1970sThe Boundaries of PleasureEdited by Sue Harper and Justin Smith

This is a series of cutting edge research monographs covering core aspects of film theory and aesthetics. Aimed at all scholarly levels, each book contains valuable material for honours undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as for the specialist. Each volume focuses on a key topic and is intended to produce a broad overview and of subject, as well as a critical intervention.

Tanya C. Horeck and Tina Kendall are both Senior Lecturers in Film Studies at Anglia Ruskin University,

Explosive images of sex and violence characterise what has come to be known as the ‘new extremism’ in contemporary European cinema. Films by directors such as Catherine Breillat, Gaspar Noé, Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier seek to shock and provoke the spectator into powerful, visceral responses. Reports of fainting, vomiting and mass walk-outs indicate the strength of reactions to these films.

This collection of essays demonstrates that these films and the controversies they create are indispensable to when considering contemporary spectatorship.

James Quandt’s influential article on the new extremism is reprinted in this collection, together with a new afterword. The collection also includes important new work from internationally renowned scholars Martin Barker and Martine Beugnet.

Claire Monk is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at De Montfort University.

The period drama is a British phenomenon but this is the first empirically-based study of the genre’s audience. By exploring the attitudes and habits of this audience, it breaks new ground both in scholarship of contemporary period films and in film-audience studies.

The book contrasts two opposite sections of late-1990s UK audiences, which has illuminating and unpredicted results.

American Smart Cinema examines a contemporary type of US filmmaking that exists at the intersection of mainstream, art and independent cinema and often gives rise to absurd, darkly comic and nihilistic effects.

Examining the smart film’s taste for ‘blank’ style and a synchronous structure, as well as its thematic interest in the dysfunctionality of the white middle-class family, the politics of consumerism and identity, and the philosophy of random fate, the book provides a comprehensive account of smart cinema as an aesthetic category while also considering the cultural and political factors that have guaranteed it critical and popular success.

Key Features• Discusses films such as Adaptation, The Squid

and the Whale, Palindromes, Ghost World, Donnie Darko and The Savages

• Covers issues from domestic melodrama to cinephilia and popular music to utopianism

• Explores the use of pastiche and quotation

Martin McQuillan is Professor of Literary Theory and Cultural Analysis and Dean of Arts and Social Sciences at Kingston University.

The title ‘The Post-Romantic Predicament’ refers to Paul de Man’s Harvard thesis of the late 1950s, which named a Romantic problem of the complexity of thought and poetic consciousness as an experience of difficulty. The long section on Mallarmé is reproduced from this dissertation and an extract on Stefan George, written at the same time although cut from the final version, is also included. These sit beside stand-alone essays on Rousseau, Derrida, Symbolism and Keats.

Andrew Benjamin is Professor of Critical Theory and Philosophical Aesthetics and Director of the Research Unit in European Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University.

‘Andrew Benjamin has written an original and provocative meditation on the place of the ‘figure’ of the animal in modern philosophy and culture. The book is remarkable for its sensitivity to the issue of visibility and the use of visual material. The engagement with the philosophical history of art is beautifully sustained and serves not only to work through the theme of figuration but also to make the philosophical narrative available to a wider range of readers.’ Howard Caygill, Goldsmith’s College

‘A stimulating book which will help those readers who, interested in the work of Agamben and the late Derrida, wish to reflect more on the image of the animal in classical continental philosophy.’ Peter Fenves, Northwestern University

Geoffrey Bennington is Asa G Candler Professor of Modern French Thought at Emory University.

‘For those wanting to discover or rediscover Jacques Derrida still alive and thinking after life, Geoffrey Bennington is the exemplary guide, a scholarly acrobat, at once grave and droll. Let us follow him … Combining the strength of a rigorous pedagogy with the creative and extravagant powers of the poet-philosopher, Geoffrey Bennington is a bookworm of genius, actively inhabiting the entire Derridean archive. He has read everything, he hears and understands everything. Working from a double experience (his own and Derrida’s), he reconstitutes the philosophical hero’s adventure, from the age of 22 until his last days.’Hélène Cixous

Derek Attridge is Professor of English at the University of York and a Fellow of the British Academy.

‘This wonderful book admirably displays Derek Attridge’s special gifts as a reader: clarity, learning, and penetrating understanding. It contains some of the best essays ever written about what is distinctive in Derrida’s thinking.’ J. Hillis Miller, University of California at Irvine

‘Over the past forty years, Derek Attridge has engaged, quite possibly more meticulously than anyone else, with the work and thought of Jacques Derrida. In this book, he presents us with many of the richest fruits of that work of love. Through his abiding care for the working of language, he reminds us just how exacting, how adventurous, how serious and how deeply responsive Derrida could be to the words and potential meanings of others.’Thomas Docherty, University of Warwick

James Kuzner is Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University.

Studies of the republican legacy in recent years have always argued for a polity that fosters the self ’s ability to simulate an invulnerable existence. James Kuzner’s original new study of writing by Spenser, Shakespeare, Marvell and Milton is the first to present a genealogy for the modern self in which its republican origins can be understood far more radically. In doing so, the study is also the first to draw radical and republican thought into sustained conversation, and to locate a republic where vulnerability is, unexpectedly, as much what community has to offer as what it guards against. At a time when the drive to safeguard citizens has gathered enough momentum to justify almost any state action, Open Subjects questions whether vulnerability is the evil we believe it to be.

Key Features• Traces English republicanism from the late-16

century to the late-17th century• Analyses Renaissance literary texts against

classical, early modern and contemporary political thought

• New readings of English Renaissance figures in histories of friendship, the public sphere and selfhood

Open SubjectsEnglish Renaissance Republicans, Modern Selfhoods and the Virtue of VulnerabilityJames Kuzner

The first exploration of how early modern republican and contemporary radical thought connect with and complement each other

These original interpretations of Renaissance culture focus on literary texts in English and in a range of vernacular languages. They also deal with the reception and transformation of the Greco-Roman literary, political and intellectual heritage.

‘This is a capacious book on a capacious subject: Shakespearean culture. From comic books to sculpture, poetic language to silent film, the Renaissance stage to the internet, this book shows the ways in which Shakespeare inhabits myriad art forms across time and space. Not only do the thirty topics covered by the contributors illuminate Shakespeare’s use for novelists, poets, musicians, artists, dancers and filmmakers but they also locate Shakespeare in his own age and on his own stage. There is no Companion like this!’Laurie Maguire, University of Oxford

This remarkable collection is the most comprehensive and up-to-date Companion to Shakespeare ever assembled. With thirty essays all by distinguished or cutting-edge scholars, covering every significant mode of Shakespearean production and adaptation from the early modern period to the present, such as in music, comics, television, dance, visual arts, radio, film, as well as on the stage, there is no better book for undergraduate Shakespeare courses to contextualize and complement the Bard’s own work.’Professor Bryan Reynolds, University of California, Irvine

critical history and analysis• Responds to a growing critical and

pedagogical interest in the relations between Shakespeare, the arts, film, performance and mass media more generally

This substantial reference work explores the place of Shakespeare in relation to a wide range of artistic practices and activities, past and present. The ‘arts’ are defined broadly as cultural processes that take in publishing, exhibiting, performing, reconstructing and disseminating.

The 33 newly commissioned chapters are divided into 6 sections: Shakespeare & the Book; Shakespeare & Music; Shakespeare on Stage & in Performance; Shakespeare & Youth Culture; Shakespeare, Visual & Material Culture and Shakespeare, Media & Culture.

Oscar Wilde’s libel suit against the Marquess of Queensberry and its disastrous repercussions dominated British newspapers during the spring of 1895 but, as this innovative study reveals, the Wilde scandal was by no means the only event to capture the public’s imagination that year. Freak weather, a flu epidemic, a General Election, industrial unrest, ‘sex novels’ and New Women, trials of murderers and fraudsters, accidents, anarchists, bombers, balloonists and bicyclists were all topics of interest and alarm.

Nicholas Freeman draws on strikingly diverse primary sources from the Aberdeen Weekly Journal to the Women’s Signal Budget, and from the Illustrated Police News to The Yellow Book and The Savoy. He examines the recurrent preoccupations of a turbulent year, showing how 1890s’ Britain is at once far removed from our own day and yet strangely familiar.

Key Features• Blends history and literature, entwining the

authors, novels, short fiction, plays, poems and journals with the politics, sport and crime of the year

• Explores themes of Victorianism, masculinity, Englishness & nationhood, the North/South divide, the New Woman, scandal and sensation

• Works looked at include stagings of An Ideal Husband & The Importance of Being Earnest, Henry James’ Guy Domville, Grant Allen’s The Woman Who Did, Marie Corelli’s The Sorrows of Satan, the new edition of Florence Kate Upton’s The Adventures of two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwogg, Arthur Machen’s The Three Impostors, Grant Allen’s The British Barbarians, Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure and the short fiction of ‘Victoria Cross’, Ella D’Arcy & Ada Leverson

John D. Lyons is Commonwealth Professor of French at the University of Virginia.

Focusing on it as a subjective phenomenon, this is the first study to explore the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of chance by contrasting works that centre on mathematical probability and gambling. A re-examination of the work of major authors – including Montaigne, Corneille, Molière, Lafayette, Scudéry, Pascal, Racine, Bossuet and La Bruyère – shows how they struggled to represent a world that is both random and meaningful.

Key Features• Renews our understanding of romance,

tragedy, comedy & religious polemic in the light of the changed conceptions of the chance

• Shows how the emergence of suspense and subjective interest are linked to the shift from fortune to randomness

• Proposes a new view on how religious writers, faced with the sceptical challenge of late Renaissance thought, integrated chance into the post-Reformation mainstream of Catholic teachings

Victoria Stewart is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Leicester.

Focusing on the upsurge of interest in the Second World War in recent British novels, this monograph explores the ways in which secrecy and secret work – including code-breaking, espionage and special operations – have been approached in representations of the war. It considers established writers, including Muriel Spark, Sarah Waters and Kazuo Ishiguro, as well as newer voices such as Liz Jensen and Peter Ho Davies. The examination of the after-effects of involvement in secret work, inter-generational secrets in a domestic context, political allegiance and sexuality shows how issues of loyalty, deception and betrayal are brought into focus in these novels.

Key Features• Breaks new ground in considering the Second

World War in contemporary culture• Contributes to debate on established novelists

Ryan Bishop and John Phillips are both Associate Professors in English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore.

‘A richly fascinating, very wise book which launches a brave, telling, and at times, devastating cultural critique of the military-industrial complex. The arguments which praise the modernist avant-garde for its prescience and also its techniques of resistance to war technology are startling, refreshing and brilliant.’ Professor Adam Piette, University of Sheffield

‘An intelligent, imaginative, wide-ranging and lucid work. It marks a genuine move forward for the application of deconstruction to cultural studies. And what is especially remarkable about the book is its stunning range of examples and cases, which include Finnegans Wake, Transformer toys, Malaysian gothic thrillers, poems by Keats and Blake, the war in Bosnia, ventriloquism, diaspora and the Cold War, postcolonial formations in South East Asia.’Professor Simon During, Johns Hopkins University

Lyndsey Stonebridge is Professor of Literature and Critical Theory at the University of East Anglia.

Returning to the work of Hannah Arendt, Lyndsey Stonebridge traces the emergence of a critical aesthetics of judgement in a group of writers – often hard to place in the ‘between’ of modernism and contemporary writing – including Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark, Iris Murdoch and Martha Gellhorn.

From Nuremberg to the Eichmann trial, and from the Paris Peace Conference to attempts to legislate for the world’s newly stateless through the discourse of human rights, Stonebridge shows that these ethically-driven women intellectuals were drawn to the law because of its promise of historical justice, yet critical of its political blindness and suspicious of its moral claims.

Examining literary works, histories, travel and mission writings, legal records, journals and diaries, political manifestoes and economic treatises, this study ranges from the books of well-known European figures such as Camões, Rousseau, Grotius and Adam Smith to the court-room testimonies of Cape slaves and farm-workers in the Cape Archives.

By returning to the Cape Colony in the period from 1770 to 1830, when modern definitions of ‘nation’ and ‘colony’ were both constituted and contested, this book addresses current debates about nationalism, colonialism and neo-colonialism, and postcolonial and post-apartheid culture.

James Helgeson is a Lecturer in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Nottingham.

The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) – in particular the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the Philosophical Investigations – was decisive for English-language ‘analytic philosophy’ in the post-war period. At the same time, French-language interest in Wittgenstein (as well as the ‘analytic’ tradition) was restricted and politically charged, in particular among French 1960s philosophers. Wittgenstein’s influence has waned in the last quarter-century amongst philosophers working in English. In French, however, his reputation has grown considerably. This special issue of Paragraph explore Wittgenstein’s current pertinence to literary and historical interpretation and the connections between Wittgenstein’s philosophy and contemporary trends in interpretation theory.

The Magnum Opus edition, as it was familiarly known, defined the final shape of Scott’s fiction for the 19th century. Scott’s introductions are semi-autobiographical essays in which he muses on his own art and the circumstances that gave rise to each of his works of fiction. His notes illustrate his text, sometimes with simple glosses, sometimes by quotations from historical sources, but most strikingly with further narratives which parallel rather than explain incidents and situations in the fiction.

These volumes also include addenda and corrections for the 28 novels in the Edinburgh Edition, making them an indispensable addition to the set.

Suzanne Gilbert is Lecturer at the University of Stirling.

This volume brings together Hogg’s first collection of poetry, Scottish Pastorals (published as a pamphlet in 1801), with his first published poem, ‘The Mistakes of a Night’ (1794) – an energetically rumbustious tale of rural courtship – and his ‘Letters on Poetry’ that appeared in The Scots Magazine (1805–06). These have never been reprinted before now. This early work demonstrate Hogg’s confident grasp of Shakespeare and 18th-century writers including Pope, Swift, Sterne, Goldsmith, Thomson and Burns, as well as his passion for theatre.

Scottish Pastorals: Together with Other Early Poems and ‘Letters on Poetry’James Hogg, Edited by Suzanne Gilbert

With reference to the original manuscripts, these poems and letters are being published as Hogg intended when he wrote them

After 100 years of relative obscurity, James Hogg (1770–1835) now ranks alongside Scott and Stevenson as one of Scotland’s leading writers. Highly regarded in his own lifetime, Hogg’s reputation suffered as a result of bowdlerised posthumous editions of his work. Edinburgh University Press is proud to present the first modern authentic edition of Hogg’s work, uncovering the full extent of his literary talents. Full introductions, explanatory notes and editorial comment accompany each text, making this collected edition the standard work on one of Scotland’s leading 19th-century writers.

David Sergeant is Junior Research Fellow in English, both at Somerville College, Oxford and Fiona Stafford is Professor of English Language and Literature.

The volume examines the innovative and technically accomplished nature of Burns’ poetry. The all-new close readings of Burns explore his dialogues with earlier poets such as John Milton, Thomas Gray, Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson. These sit alongside analyses of the creative responses of his contemporaries and literary heirs including William Wordsworth, James Hogg, Thomas Dermody, Hugh MacDiarmid, George Mackay Brown, Don Paterson and Seamus Heaney. They demonstrate the ways in which Burns drew on Scottish vernacular traditions, English poetry and 18th-century sentimentalism to create a new kind of poetry.

Stephen W. Brown is Professor of English at Trent University, Peterborough, Canada. Warren McDougall is Honorary Fellow at the Centre for the History of the Book, Edinburgh University.

The 18th century saw Scotland become a global leader in publishing, both through landmark challenges to the early copyright legislation and through the development of intricate overseas markets that extended across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Scots in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Dublin and Philadelphia amassed fortunes by bringing classics in medicine and economics by Scottish authors to international markets, as well as such enduring works of reference as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Entrepreneurship and a vigorous sense of nationalism brought Scotland from financial destitution at the time of the 1707 Union to extraordinary wealth by the 1790s.

Over 40 leading scholars come together in this volume to examine the development of Scotland’s book trade from 1707 to 1800. Printing, binding, bookselling, libraries, textbooks, distribution and international trade, copyright, piracy, literacy, music publication, women readers, children’s books and cookery books are among the many aspects of print culture that they scrutinize.

Key Features• Discusses copyright and piracy with new data

at a time when intellectual property laws are returning to18th-century precedents

• Provides new understandings of Scotland’s early modern readerships, including women’s libraries, music literacy, and the way in which Scots found in the growth of literacy an international marketplace for intellectual property

• Original scholarship and previously unpublished source material on secular Gaelic print

• 16 exclusive full colour images of rare Scottish bindings from private collections

Phillip Backley is Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics at Tohoku Gakuin University, Japan.

This book invites students of linguistics to challenge and reassess their existing assumptions about the form of phonological representations and the place of phonology in generative grammar. It does this by offering a comprehensive introduction to Element Theory.

Traditional features are capable of describing segments and segmental patterns, but they are often unable to explain why those patterns are the way they are. By using elements to represent segmental structure, we begin to understand why languages show such a strong preference for certain kinds of segments, contrasts, phonological processes and sound changes.

Using examples from a wide range of languages, this book demonstrates the process of analysing phonological data using elements, and gives readers the opportunity to compare element-based and feature-based accounts of the same phonological patterns. Backley also challenges traditional views through his innovative treatment of English weak vowels and diphthongs and by reanalysing linking r and intrusive r as glide formation processes.

Providing a thorough introduction to the main topics in segmental phonology, this is an excellent overview for both students with a background in standard phonology as well as for those who are new to the field.

Key Features• The only full description of Element Theory

available• Uses examples from many languages and

dialects of English to explain segmental phonology

• Further reading suggested for each topic• Contains over 100 illustrations including

Since its first appearance at a London colloquium in 2007, the Speculative Realism movement has taken continental philosophy by storm. Opposing the formerly ubiquitous modern dogma that philosophy can speak only of the human-world relation rather than the world itself, Speculative Realism defends the autonomy of the world from human access in a spirit of imaginative audacity.

‘Quentin Meillassoux’s entry into the philosophical scene marks the beginning of a new epoch: the end of the transcendental approach and the return to realist ontology. Harman’s beautifully written and argued book provides not just an introduction to Meillassoux, but much more: one authentic philosopher writing about another – a rare true encounter. It is not only for those who want to understand Meillassoux, but also for those who want to witness a radical shift in the entire field of philosophy.

This book promotes a greater understanding of intercultural communication in a modern business environment. It examines the various activities that telephone conversationalists engage in to supply and demand a service over the phone. By focusing on communication between native Spanish speakers from around the world the book will answer key questions:

• Do speakers of Spanish display similar communicative practices as those observed in other languages when requesting and being offered a service over the phone?

• Do specifically located activities such as the call openings and closings display similar coordination and ritualisation as that observed in other languages?

• Does the language seen as a cultural tool reflect a different orientation towards such activities?

Sean Bowden is Research Fellow in the Philosophy Program at La Trobe University

Sean Bowden shows you how the Deleuzian event should be understood in terms of the broader metaphysical thesis that fixed things or substances are always secondary with respect to events. He achieves this through a reconstruction of Deleuze’s relation to the history of thought from the Stoics through to Simondon, taking account of Leibniz, Lautman, structuralism and psychoanalysis along the way.

Key Features• Focuses on Deleuze’s concept of events and

highlights the philosophical richness of The Logic of Sense

Simone Bignall is Visiting Fellow in the School of History and Philosophy, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

Postcolonial Agency provides a significantly new understanding of the processes of social transformation faced by many societies as they struggle with the aftermath of empire.

It complements and balances the attention given by postcolonial theory to the revitalisation and recognition of the agency of colonised peoples by offering new conceptual scaffolding to those who have inherited the legacy of colonial privilege, and who now seek to transform this historical injustice responsibly. Attending to a minor tradition within Western philosophy, with particular reference to Deleuze together with Spinoza, Nietzsche and Bergson, Simone Bignall argues that a non-imperial concept of ethical and political agency and a postcolonial philosophy of material transformation are embedded within aspects of poststructuralist social philosophy.

By engaging readers with respect to their affective communities and their concrete ethics of relationship, Postcolonial Agency argues for a valuable new way of conceptualising practices of postcolonial sociability.

Frida Beckman is Research Fellow in the Department of English at Uppsala University.

These 12 new essays develop a fresh philosophical approach to the study of sex and sexuality as practice. The contributors pursue the restricting as well as the liberating force of sex in relation to a spread of themes and subjects including the limits of the human, bacteria, death, disability and animality.

In Deleuze’s philosophy, sexuality has a central role in the production of thought, bodies and becomings, but it is an area of his philosophy that has not previously been explored in its specificity. The focus has tended to be on sex in the sense of physical gender, in particular in relation to sexual difference. In Deleuze’s writings, sexuality is conceived of as a force that can capture as well as free life. On the one hand, sexuality tends to be restricted, blocked, and reduced and its flows are repressed. On the other hand, the sexual body is also seen as retaining a revolutionary potential and sexuality is seen as a source of becoming.

Contributors include Ronald Bogue, Anna Powell and Cara Judea Alhadeff.

Yet once we begin to think about its meaning we quickly uncover competing definitions. In recent years, political theorists have generally set the concept aside as outdated or inappropriate. However, the idea that some things are especially wrong, beyond toleration, still has significant currency and ‘evil’ may capture that significance. Given this possibility, evil merits a closer look. While there is a small philosophical literature on evil, political theory has not revisited the idea systematically. The authors and editors of this volume make a start on this important task.

Key Features• Presents a broad-ranging exploration of the

idea of evil in contemporary theory• Offers a philosophical analysis of the role of

evil in ethics• Analyses the idea of evil in classic arguments• Explores the idea of evil in politics

Antony Black is Emeritus Professor in the History of Political Thought at the University of Dundee.

This comprehensive overview describes and interprets all schools of Islamic political thought, their origins, inter-connections and meaning. It examines the Qur’an, the early Caliphate, classical Islamic philosophy, and the political culture of the Ottoman and other empires. Major thinkers such as Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Ibn Taymiyya are covered as well as numerous lesser authors, and Ibn Khaldun is presented as one of the most original political theorists ever. It draws on a wide range of sources including writings on religion, law, philosophy and statecraft expressed in treatises, handbooks and political rhetoric.

The second edition analyses the connections between religion and politics, covering new developments in Islamic political thought and the most recent historical scholarship. It ends with a critical survey of reformism (or modernism) and Islamism (or fundamentalism) from the late 19th century up to the present day.

Key Features of the Second Edition• Revised and updated throughout• A major new final section on Islam and the

Allen James Fromherz is Professor of Medieval Mediterranean and Middle East History at Georgia State University, Atlanta.

Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406) is one of the most influential and important Muslim thinkers in history, inspiring at least as much interest among modern scholars as his immediate contemporaries. Legions of sociologists, anthropologists and historians have studied Ibn Khaldun’s philosophy of history, treating the Muqaddimah as a timeless piece. Yet most studies ignore the fascinating story of Ibn Khaldun’s own life and times.

Rejecting portrayals of him as a modern mind lost in medieval obscurity, Fromherz demonstrates how Ibn Khaldun’s ideas were shaped by his historical context and personal motivations. Relying on original Arabic sources, most importantly Ibn Khaldun’s unique autobiography, this is the first complete, scholarly biography of Ibn Khaldun in English. It not only tells the life story of Ibn Khaldun in an accessible way, it also introduces readers to the 14th-century Mediterranean world. Seen in this politically tumultuous and religiously contentious context, Ibn Khaldun’s ideas about tribalism, identity, religion and history are even more relevant to pressing, modern concerns.

Sally N. Cummings is Senior Lecturer in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews. Raymond Hinnebusch is Professor of International Relations and Middle East Politics at the University of St Andrews.

Empire matters for post-imperial outcomes: the initial imperial creation of states in MENA and Central Asia explains several similarities in both regions’ successor states. Differences in imperial heritages also partly account for the greater instability of the MENA states system and their lesser legitimacy. While eventually the imperial relation to an external metropole came to an end, the social patterns and institutional practices forged in these relationships remained; some only as traces, but others that endured in the transformation of empire into something else, a national sovereignty, which should be seen as more than ‘neo-colonialism’ but less than ‘total independence’.

Jeremy Jones is Senior Research Associate at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. Nicholas Ridout is a Reader at Queen Mary University of London.

For Oman, the idea of diplomacy refers not only to the country’s interactions in the global community, but also to the way in which Omani life itself is shaped by principles and practices of social and political engagement that are essentially diplomatic. Such principles are grounded in ideals of tact and tolerance that have developed over a long historical period.

This is a cultural history: an historical account of the formation of a distinctive Omani culture. It argues that this culture is where Oman’s contemporary foreign policy has been nurtured, and that it is in this culture that a specific conception and practice of diplomacy has been developed. Crucially, it provides a perspective which places Oman at its centre, rather than as a background actor in broader colonial narratives, Cold War calculations or global concerns over the relationship between Islam and the West.

Key Features• A comprehensive history in English of Oman’s

international relations• Draws on key research into Omani religious

and social traditions and ethnographic studies of language and social customs

• Presents an account of Oman’s contemporary behind-the-scenes role in relation to Iranian US relations, and the Middle East peace process

• First book to connect Oman’s international relations with considerations of Omani history, culture and social organisation

Key Features• Combines theory and empirical evidence• Makes systematic comparisons between the

‘This is an excellent study of the impact of empire on the post-colonial state and challenges the idea of a sharp break between empire and sovereignty. With its cutting-edge comparison of the Middle East and Central Asia, this is an impressive comparative historical and political analysis which will be a valuable and lasting contribution to the academic literature.’Professor Roland Dannreuther, University of Westminster

Benjamin Thomas White is Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Birmingham.

Why, in the years around 1920, did the concept of ‘minority’ suddenly become prominent in public affairs worldwide? Within a decade after World War One, the term became fundamental to public understandings of national and international politics, law, and society: minorities (and majorities too) were taken to be an objective reality, both in the present and the past.

Despite French attempts to create territorial, political, and legal divisions, the mandate period saw the consolidation of the nation-state form in Syria. There was a trend towards a coherent national territory with fixed borders and uniform state authority within them, while the struggle to control the state was played out in the language of nationalism – developments in the post-Ottoman Levant that closely paralleled events in Europe at the same time, following the demise of the Austro-Hungarian and Tsarist empires.

Through close attention to what changed in French mandate Syria, and what those changes meant, this book argues for a careful reappraisal of a term too often used as an objective description of reality.

Pierre Cachia is Professor Emeritus of Arabic Language and Literature at Columbia University.

The character and range of Arab folk literature are investigated by Pierre Cachia in this collection of his essays in the field he has pioneered. Arranged into three sections, the first traces the changing relationship between Arab folk and elite literatures, the gradual elaboration of certain genres, and the career of a folk poet. The author then devotes a substantial section to the consideration of single or related texts. Finally he comments on social and cultural implications and on differences of attitudes of folk and elite towards sensitive issues.

Key Features• Represents an insightful contribution to our

understanding of Arab folk literature• Includes two previously unpublished essays• Examines the history, texts, and social and

cultural implications of the tradition• Presents a standardised transcription system

(based on pronunciation of the language) far more suited to oral forms of literature

Tanja Bueltmann is Lecturer in International History at Northumbria University.

The Scots accounted for around a quarter of all UK-born immigrants to New Zealand between 1861 and 1945, but have been accorded scant attention in New Zealand histories, specialist immigration histories and Scottish Diaspora Studies. This is peculiar because the flow of Scots to New Zealand, although relatively unimportant to Scotland, constituted a sizable element to the country’s much smaller population. Seen as adaptable, integrating relatively more quickly than other ethnic migrant groups in New Zealand, the Scots’ presence was obscured by a fixation on the romanticised shortbread tin façade of Scottish identity overseas.

Uncovering Scottish ethnicity from the verges of nostalgia, this study documents the notable imprint Scots left on New Zealand. It examines Scottish immigrant community life, culture and identity between 1850 and 1930.

History

Many believe that the church was largely mute on the widespread poverty and deprivation which accompanied the rapid expanse of urban life in Scotland. This study shows that the church was not lacking in commitment to improving such conditions, through the example of theologian Robert Flint and the parish minister Frederick Lockhart Robertson. For example, publication of Flint’s ‘Christ’s Kingdom upon Earth’ led the Church of Scotland in Glasgow to investigate slum housing conditions and to the conclusion that religion could not be complacent about the need for social action.

‘Characteristically acute and uncompromising.’ Scottish Review of Books Main Description

This volume brings together the best of T. C. Smout’s recent articles and contributions to books and journals on the topic of environmental history. Many of the chapters focus on post-1600 Scotland; all have a wider relevance.What is environmental history and how has it been studied in Britain? How have we regarded wild nature in the past? How has our exploitation of environmental resources impacted on biodiversity? How could so many people subsist in the past in the wildest parts of the British Isles? Why are we so upset about alien species? T. C. Smout tackles all of these questions as well as considering the meaning of ‘environmental consciousness’ and asking what changes in our mind-set it will take to avert disaster.

While historians have become increasingly sensitive to social and cultural theory since the 1980s, the actual methods by which research is carried out in History have been largely taken for granted. This book covers sources and methods that are well-established in History, such as archival research, together with those that are less widely known. The themes of the different chapters have been selected to reflect recent trends in the subject.

Case studies range from life stories written and spoken by migrants and soldiers to the ‘second wave’ of women’s history,

Theresa Saxon is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire.

This book provides a brief yet informative evaluation of the variety and complexity of theatrical ventures in the United States. It embraces all epochs of theatre history, from pre-colonial Native American performance rituals and the endeavours of early colonisers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to the end of the twentieth century, situating American theatre as a lively, dynamic and diverse arena.

Theresa Saxon examines the implications of political manoeuvrings, economics – both state funded and commercial – race and gender, and material factors such as technology, riot and fire as major forces determining the structure of America’s playhouses and productions.

She investigates critical understandings of the term ‘theatre,’ and assesses ways in which the various values of commerce, entertainment, education and dramatic production have informed the definition of theatre throughout America’s history.

Key Features• Presents the definitive survey of American

Theatre• Structured chronologically to provide a

historical narrative• Explanatory notes at end of volume so main
