Dear Readers,

Columbia University and Columbia University Press are global institutions, bringing together authors and readers, scholars and students from far and wide. The books in our Fall 2023 catalog are not only globe-spanning—they also reveal the importance of local communities for understanding our world.

As election season draws near, Columbia authors emphasize the significance of community identity in politics. Rust Belt Union Blues (p. 1) demonstrates how local community change explains why working-class voters have abandoned the Democrats. The Rural Voter (p. 19) shows why the rise of rural identity, at once local and national, is essential to understanding today’s political divides. Reflecting our New York location, Columbia authors highlight the city’s role as cultural epicenter. Telling the story of a remarkable group of New York-based Black women writers, The Sisterhood (p. 4) underscores the necessity of literary community for creativity. Transfigured New York (p. 5) lets us listen in on the underground music scene of the 1980s, when artists experimented and collaborated across boundaries.

This catalog includes major works by leading Columbia scientists who take on big questions. David J. Helfand (p. 8) explores how something as tiny as an atom can explain history, existence, and . . . just about everything. Dickson D. Despommier (p. 9) offers a visionary glimpse of an achievable future city and the sustainable society it could foster.

Columbia University Press has published Julia Kristeva in translation for more than forty years—and almost as many books. We are now reissuing her essential works with an eye-catching design as the Kristeva Library (pp. 40–42). And we are honored to announce a new distributed press partner. Based in Columbia’s Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures, Sundial House (pp. 75–77) offers striking and beautifully presented works of literature in translation.

In order to publish these vital works, we rely on the Columbia University community, the broader university press community, and our readers. Thank you for helping support our books and our mission.

Rust Belt Union Blues

Why Working-Class Voters Are Turning Away from the Democratic Party

LAINEY NEWMAN AND THEDA SKOCPOL

UNDERSTANDING THE BLUE-COLLAR REALIGNMENT TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

In the heyday of American labor, the influence of local unions extended far beyond the workplace. They conveyed fundamental worldviews, making blue-collar unionists into loyal Democrats. Today, unions play a much less significant role in American life. In industrial and formerly industrial Rust Belt towns, Republican-leaning groups and outlooks have burgeoned among the kinds of voters who once would have been part of union communities.

Lainey Newman and Theda Skocpol provide timely insight into the relationship between the decline of unions and the shift of working-class voters away from Democrats. Drawing on interviews, union newsletters, and ethnographic analysis, they pinpoint the significance of eroding local community ties and identities. Using western Pennsylvania as a case study, Newman and Skocpol argue that union members’ loyalty to Democratic candidates was as much a product of the group identity that unions fostered as it was a response to the Democratic Party’s economic policies. As the social world around organized labor dissipated, conservative institutions like gun clubs, megachurches, and other Republican-leaning groups took its place.

Rust Belt Union Blues sheds new light on why so many union members have dramatically changed their party politics. It makes a compelling case that Democrats are unlikely to rebuild credibility in places like western Pennsylvania unless they find new ways to weave themselves into the daily lives of workers and their families.

“Rust Belt Union Blues is an immensely important book, both for politics and for the social sciences. Politically, it explains why many white workers strayed from their old Democratic loyalties—not because their views changed radically but because of transformations in their reference points and the ways they answered the need for community. It also calls on social scientists to pay far more attention to the networks people build and the lives they live. This book deserves wide readership.”

God, Guns, and Sedition

Far-Right Terrorism in America

BRUCE HOFFMAN AND JACOB WARE

TOP EXPERTS EXPLORE THE GROWTH OF FAR-RIGHT TERRORISM

Shocking acts of terrorism have erupted from violent American far-right extremists in recent years, including the 2015 mass murder at a historic Black church in Charleston and the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. These incidents, however, are neither new nor unprecedented. They are the latest flashpoints in a process that has been unfolding for decades, in which vast conspiracy theories and radical ideologies such as white supremacism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and hostility to government converge into a deadly threat to democracy. God, Guns, and Sedition is the definitive account of the rise of far-right terrorism in the United States—and how to counter it. Leading experts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware trace the historical trajectory and assess the present-day dangers of this violent extremist movement. They combine authoritative, nuanced analysis with gripping storytelling and portraits of the key leaders of the American far right and their followers. Hoffman and Ware highlight developments including the use of cuttingedge communications technology; the embrace of leaderless resistance; infiltration and recruitment in the military and law enforcement; and the far right’s intricate relationship with mainstream politics. An unparalleled examination of one of today’s great perils, God, Guns, and Sedition offers practical recommendations to halt the growth of the far right and address the terrorist threat.

Beyond the Water’s Edge

How Partisanship Corrupts U.S. Foreign Policy

HOW DOMESTIC PARTISANSHIP HAS HINDERED U.S. FOREIGN RELATIONS

Intense partisanship is a familiar part of the contemporary United States, but its consequences do not stop at the country’s borders. The damage now extends to U.S. relations with the rest of the world. Too often, political leaders place their own party’s interest in gaining and keeping power ahead of the national interest.

Paul R. Pillar examines how and why partisanship has undermined U.S. foreign policy, especially over the past three decades. Placing present-day discord in historical perspective, Beyond the Water’s Edge shows that although the corrupting effects of partisan divisions are not new, past leaders were often able to overcome them. Recent social and political trends and developments including the end of the Cold War, however, have contributed to a surge of corrosive partisanship. Pillar demonstrates that its costs range from the prolongation of war and crisis to the intrusion of foreign influence and the undermining of democracy. He explores the consequences of domestic division for U.S. global leadership and how the corruption of American democracy also weakens democracy worldwide. Pillar considers possible remedies but draws the sobering conclusion that entrenched political sectarianism makes their adoption unlikely. Beyond the Water’s Edge is an important book for all readers concerned about the state of the American political system.

PAUL R. PILLAR is a nonresident fellow of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University and the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He served in several senior positions in the U.S. intelligence community and is a retired officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. His previous Columbia University Press books are Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy: Iraq, 9/11, and Misguided Reform (2011) and Why America Misunderstands the World: National Experience and Roots of Misperception (2016).

“Through original and compelling accounts of the political dynamics associated with major foreign policy debates, Pillar provides an in-depth historical account of ebbs and flows in the importance of partisan considerations as a shaper of foreign policy in the United States.”

“Starting with a photograph, Courtney Thorsson brings her all to this luminous work about The Sisterhood, a group of Black women writers who met informally in the 1970s. Together they transformed American literature and helped to shape generations of writers, visual artists, filmmakers, and scholars. This is a profoundly important story, and it has found an astute and sensitive author in Thorsson.”

The Sisterhood

How a Network of Black Women Writers Changed American Culture

COURTNEY THORSSON

HOW A CIRCLE OF BLACK WOMEN WRITERS

INFLUENCED AMERICAN LITERARY LIFE

One Sunday afternoon in February 1977, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, and several other Black women writers met at June Jordan’s Brooklyn apartment to eat gumbo, drink champagne, and talk about their work. Calling themselves “The Sisterhood,” the group—which also came to include Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Margo Jefferson, and others—would get together once a month over the next two years, creating a vital space for Black women to discuss literature and liberation.

The Sisterhood tells the story of how this remarkable community transformed American writing and cultural institutions. Drawing on original interviews with Sisterhood members as well as correspondence, meeting minutes, and close readings of their works, Courtney Thorsson explores the group’s everyday collaboration and profound legacy. The Sisterhood advocated for Black women writers at trade publishers and magazines such as Random House, Ms., and Essence, and eventually in academic departments as well—even in the face of sexist, racist, and homophobic backlash. Thorsson also considers the popular and critical success of Sisterhood members in the 1980s, the uneasy absorption of Black feminism into the academy, and the younger writers building on the foundations the group laid. Highlighting the organizing and community building that nurtured Black women’s writing, this book demonstrates that The Sisterhood offers an enduring model for Black feminist collaboration.

Transfigured New York Interviews with Experimental Artists and Musicians, 1980-1990

BROOKE

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LUMINARIES OF NYC’S DOWNTOWN MUSIC SCENE OF THE 1980S

Transfigured New York presents conversations with iconic, genre-bending artists who shaped the sounds of experimental movements like no wave, avant-jazz, and electronic music. As an undergrad in the 1980s, Brooke Wentz hosted the show Transfigured Night on Columbia University’s WKCR-FM, discussing art and ideas with avant-garde music luminaries. She unearths these candid interviews—heard before only when first broadcast—from cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes, letting readers today feel the excitement and creative energy of the 1980s New York underground scene.

Musicians and artists, now icons of their craft, tell their stories and share their thoughts about the creative process, capturing the ambition and energy that animated their work. Legends in the making like Bill Frisell, Philip Glass, and Laurie Anderson convey what it was like to be a struggling artist in 1980s New York, when the city was alive with possibilities. Others who were well known at the time, including John Cage, La Monte Young, and Ravi Shankar, advocate for their distinctive ideas about art and open up about their creative lives. Featuring an astonishing range of interviewees— Morton Subotnick, Joan Tower, Steve Reich, Glenn Branca, Joan La Barbara, Living Colour, Arthur Russell, John Lurie, Eric Bogosian, Bill T. Jones, and many more—Transfigured New York provides new insight into the city’s cultural landscape in this era. It is a one-of-a-kind account of one of the most exhilarating and inventive periods for art and culture in New York City’s history.

BROOKE WENTZ is a Billboard award–winning music producer, music supervisor, and former radio host who founded Seven Seas Music and the Rights Workshop. She is a leading expert on music copyrights and former ESPN music director. Her books include Music Rights Unveiled: A Filmmaker’s Guide to Music Rights and Licensing (2017).

“The 1980s in New York was an edgy, bright, brash decade. Permeating my memory is the emergence of the AIDS epidemic and all the brilliant, luminous friends that we lost. It was a time of extreme contrasts: I could perform in a club with beer bottles hitting the floor one night and Carnegie Hall the next.”

Tone

SOFIA SAMATAR AND KATE ZAMBRENO

TWO CRITICS AND NOVELISTS EXAMINE THE MYSTERY AND POWER OF TONE

Tone is a collaborative study of literary tone, a notoriously challenging and slippery topic for criticism. Both granular and global, infusing a text with feeling, tone is so difficult to pin down that responses to it often take the vague form of “I know it when I see it.”

In Tone, a cooperative authorial voice under the name of the Committee to Investigate Atmosphere begins from the premise that tone is relational, belonging to shared experience rather than a single author, and should be approached through a communal practice. In partnership, the Committee explores the atmospheres emanating from texts by Nella Larsen, W. G. Sebald, Heike Geissler, Hiroko Oyamada, Mieko Kanai, Bhanu Kapil, Franz Kafka, Renee Gladman, and others, attending to the chafing of political irritation, the hunger of precarious and temporary work, and the lonely delights of urban and suburban walks.

This study treats a variety of questions: How is tone filtered through translation? Can a text hold the feelings that pass between humans and animals?

What can attention to literary tone reveal about shared spaces such as factories, universities, and streets and the clashes and connections that happen there? Searching and conversational, Tone seeks immersion in literary affect, to convey the experience of reading—and living—together.

SOFIA SAMATAR is the author of five books, most recently the memoir The White Mosque, a PEN/Jean Stein Award finalist. Her works include the World Fantasy Award–winning A Stranger in Olondria and Monster Portraits, a collaboration with her brother, the artist Del Samatar.

Big Fiction

How Conglomeration Changed the Publishing Industry and American Literature

HOW THE CONGLOMERATION OF THE PUBLISHING

INDUSTRY CHANGED AMERICAN FICTION

In the late 1950s, Random House editor Jason Epstein would talk jazz with Ralph Ellison or chat with Andy Warhol while pouring drinks in his office. By the 1970s, editors were poring over profitand-loss statements. The electronics company RCA bought Random House in 1965, and then other large corporations purchased other formerly independent publishers. As multinational conglomerates consolidated the industry, the business of literature—and literature itself—transformed.

Dan Sinykin explores how changes in the publishing industry have affected fiction, literary form, and what it means to be an author. He examines four different sectors of the publishing industry: mass-market publishers of brand-name authors like Danielle Steel; trade publishers that encouraged genre elements in literary fiction; nonprofits like Graywolf that aspired to protect literature from market pressures; and the distinctive niche of employeeowned W. W. Norton. He emphasizes how women and people of color navigated shifts in publishing, arguing that writers such as Toni Morrison allegorized their experiences in their fiction. Big Fiction features dazzling readings of a vast range of novelists—including E. L. Doctorow, Judith Krantz, Renata Adler, Stephen King, Joan Didion, Cormac McCarthy, Chuck Palahniuk, Patrick O’Brian, and Walter Mosley—as well as vivid portraits of industry figures. Written in gripping and lively prose, this deeply original book recasts the past six decades of American fiction.

DAN SINYKIN is an assistant professor of English at Emory University with a courtesy appointment in quantitative theory and methods. He is the author of American Literature and the Long Downturn: Neoliberal Apocalypse (2020). His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus, and Dissent

“Sinykin’s Big Fiction is a book of major ambition and many satisfactions. Come for the comprehensive reframing of a key phase in U.S. literary history, stay for the parade of interesting people, the fascinating backstories of bestsellers, the electrically entertaining prose. The story of literary publishing in the postwar period has never been told with such verve.”

The Universal Timekeepers

Reconstructing History Atom by Atom

A 13.8 BILLION–YEAR HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE TOLD THROUGH ATOMS

Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed— give or take a few billion. And there’s hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. Atoms, we have found, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past. David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe back to its first microsecond with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from central Mexico to New England? What was Earth’s climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself? Lively and inviting, The Universal Timekeepers demonstrates the power of science to unveil the mysteries of unreachably remote times and places.

The New City How to Build Our Sustainable Urban Future

HOW TO USE BIOMIMICRY TO MAKE CITIES SUSTAINABLE

Cities are at once among humanity’s crowning achievements and core drivers of the climate crisis. Their dependence on the outside world for vital resources is causing global temperatures to rise and wildlife habitats to shrink. But we have the opportunity to make cities more sustainable by transforming the built environment.

Dickson D. Despommier proposes a visionary yet achievable plan for creating a new, self-sustaining urban landscape. He argues that we can find solutions through the concept of biomimicry: emulating successful strategies found in nature. A better city is possible if we heed the lessons that forests and trees teach about how to store carbon, grow food, collect rainwater, and convert sunlight into energy. Touring existing and leading-edge technologies, The New City provides a blueprint for tomorrow’s urban environment. Cities built from wood will be more resilient and less destructive than concrete and steel construction; they will also encourage reforestation, boosting carbon sequestration. Vertical farms inside city limits will supply residents with a reliable, healthy food supply. Buildings will harvest moisture from the rain and air to secure a clean water supply. Renewable energy, including not only wind, solar, and geothermal but also clear photovoltaic window glass and nonpolluting hydrogen fuel cells, will power a cleaner city. The New City delivers both a passionate call to action for halting climate change and a bold vision of the sustainable future within our grasp.

DICKSON D. DESPOMMIER is emeritus professor of public health and microbiology at Columbia University. His previous books include The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the Twenty-First Century (2010), which popularized the idea of raising crops inside tall buildings; People, Parasites, and Plowshares: Learning from Our Body’s Most Terrifying Invaders (Columbia, 2013); and Parasitic Diseases (seventh edition, 2019).

The Woman Who Couldn’t Wake Up

Hypersomnia and the Science of Sleepiness

QUINN EASTMAN

HOW A RARE DISORDER SHEDS LIGHT ON THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP

Sleep was taking over Anna’s life. Despite multiple alarm clocks and powerful stimulants, the young Atlanta lawyer could sleep for thirty or even fifty hours at a stretch. She stopped working and began losing weight because she couldn’t stay awake long enough to eat. Anna’s doctors didn’t know how to help her until they tried an oddball drug, connected with a hunch that something produced by her body was putting her to sleep.

The Woman Who Couldn’t Wake Up tells Anna’s story—and the broader story of her diagnosis, idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), a shadowy sibling of narcolepsy that has emerged as a focus of sleep research and patient advocacy. Quinn Eastman explores the science around sleepiness, recounting how researchers have been searching for more than a century for the substances that tip the brain into slumber. He argues that investigation of IH could unlock new understandings of how sleep is regulated and controlled. Eastman foregrounds the experiences of people with IH, relating how publicity around Anna’s successful treatment helped others form a community. He shows how a group of patients who felt neglected or dismissed united to steer research toward their little-known disorder. Sharing emerging science and powerful stories, this book testifies to the significance of underrecognized diseases and sheds new light on how our brains function, day and night. It is essential reading for anyone interested in sleep and sleep disorders, including those affected by or seeking to treat them.

QUINN EASTMAN is a technical editor at Emory University School of Medicine. He was trained as a biochemist, receiving a PhD from Yale University, and has worked as a journalist, covering local government and environmental issues as well as sleep research.

“This book is a fascinating and important tour de force taking us deep into the world of sleepiness like never before. Quinn Eastman weaves together powerful storytelling and cutting-edge science into an engaging and enlightening read that gives voice to many people’s often invisible and overlooked struggles.”

Translated by Jacques Lezra with Susan Spitzer

Introduction by Kenneth Reinhard

BADIOU’S PIVOTAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF THE ONE IN THE HISTORY OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY

Alain Badiou’s 1983–1984 lecture series on “the One” is the earliest of his seminars that he has chosen to publish. It focuses on the philosophical concept of oneness in the works of Descartes, Plato, and Kant—a crucial foil for his signature metaphysical concept, the multiple. Badiou declares that there is no “One”: there is no fundamental unit of being; being is inherently multiple.

What is novel in Badiou’s view of multiplicity is his reliance on mathematics, and set theory in particular. A set is a collection of things—yet, as he observes, it often is taken to “count as one” operationally for the purposes of mathematical transformations. In this seminar, distinguishing between “the One” and “counting as one” emerges as essential to Badiou’s ontological project. His analysis of reflections on oneness in Descartes, Plato, and Kant prefigures core arguments of his defining work, Being and Event

Showcasing the seeds of Badiou’s key ideas and later thought, The One features singular readings, breathtaking theorizations, and frequently astonishing offhand remarks.

ALAIN BADIOU is emeritus professor of philosophy at the École normale supérieure in Paris. His seminars published by Columbia University Press include Lacan (2018), Malebranche (2019), and Images of the Present Time (2023).

Peter Sloterdijk—called “Germany’s most controversial thinker” by the New Yorker—has challenged and provoked readers worldwide with extraordinarily ambitious and wide-ranging works of philosophical and cultural critique. In this book, Sloterdijk offers a magisterial and profound investigation into the vicissitudes of historical change and the nature of modernity.

For Sloterdijk, modernity is defined by its need to break with the past. Moderns are perpetual rebels who seek to sever the ties of tradition and forms of inheritance that bind generations and eras together. With deep philosophical, historical, and literary range, he traces this antigenealogical experiment from the French Revolution onward, from Madame de Pompadour and Napoleon through Nietzsche, Marx, Wagner, the Dadaists, and Deleuze. Acutely aware of the destructive potential of cultural discontinuities, Sloterdijk is no less critical of the “fathers” who condemn change than the “terrible children” who seek a drastic rupture with their predecessors. Equally concerned with the grand sweep of history and our current predicaments, he instead calls for new ways to live together. Incisive and daring, breathtaking in its scope, this account of youthful rebellion against tradition asks us to reimagine the ethics of genealogy.

PETER SLOTERDIJK is professor emeritus of aesthetics and philosophy at the Institute of Design in Karlsruhe. His numerous books include the best-selling Critique of Cynical Reason, You Must Change Your Life, and the Spheres trilogy. Columbia University Press has also published Sloterdijk’s Rage and Time: A Psychopolitical Investigation (2010), The Art of Philosophy: Wisdom as a Practice (2012), and Philosophical Temperaments: From Plato to Foucault (2013).

EFRAÍN KRISTAL is distinguished professor of Spanish and comparative literature at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“The Terrible Children of Modernity offers a cultural-historical critique of modernity by concentrating on a single underlying aspect of its worldview: the relative loss of moral affiliation with respect to both the preceding and the following generations. Sloterdijk discusses the financial and economic crash of the early twenty-first century as a signal instance of the fact that modern humanity lives, collectively if not individually, in a present uncounseled by the past and irresponsible toward the future.”

“With characteristic understanding, learning, and historical range, Birnbaum compellingly illuminates central aspects—past and present— of the American Jewish experience. Tears of History provocatively chronicles how antistate white supremacist insurgencies have come to target Jews, transforming prior circumstances in which political antisemitism had proved incapable in the United States to a situation Birnbaum compares to the status of Jews in Weimar Germany and Dreyfus-era France.”

Tears of History

The Rise of Political Antisemitism in the United States

PIERRE BIRNBAUM

UNDERSTANDING THE FACES OF ANTISEMITISM IN THE UNITED STATES

For many Jews, for more than a century, the United States has seemed to be a safe haven. There has been antisemitic prejudice, but nothing on the scale of the discrimination, persecution, pogroms, and genocide witnessed in Europe. White American ethnic violence has assailed many targets, but Jews have rarely been among them. Observing what he took to be an American exception, the influential historian Salo Baron challenged the “lachrymose conception” of Jewish history as an unending flow of oppressions, and many have followed him in seeing American Jews as sheltered from violence. But in recent years a spate of antisemitic attacks has cast doubt on this rosy view.

The eminent French scholar Pierre Birnbaum offers a timely reconsideration of the tear-stained pages of Jewish history and the persistence of antisemitism. He explores the promise of American tolerance as well as the darkest moments of American intolerance, such as the 1913 lynching of Leo Frank. Birnbaum engages deeply with Baron’s views about Jewish history and tracks the echoes of European antisemitic violence in American culture. He argues that a new and insidious form of antisemitic ideology has arisen, one that sees the state as an instrument of Jewish control—and threatens further bloodshed. Thoughtful and eloquent, Tears of History is an important reflection on the roots of antisemitic violence and hatred.

On Niccolò Machiavelli

The Bonds of Politics

GABRIELE PEDULLÀ

THE POWER OF MACHIAVELLI’S IDEAS IN HIS OWN TIME AND TODAY

Five hundred years after his death, Niccolò Machiavelli still draws an astonishing range of contradictory characterizations. Was he a friend of tyrants? An ardent republican loyal to Florence’s free institutions? The father of political realism? A revolutionary populist? A calculating rationalist? A Renaissance humanist? A prophet of Italian unification? A theorist of mixed government? A forerunner to authoritarianism? The master of the dark arts of intrigue?

This book provides a vivid and engaging introduction to Machiavelli’s life and works that sheds new light on his originality and relevance. Gabriele Pedullà—a leading Italian expert and acclaimed writer—offers fresh readings of the Florentine thinker’s most famous writings, The Prince and the Discourses on Livy, as well as lesser-known texts. A new and often surprising Machiavelli emerges: one closer to his time but also better suited to inform our own. Pedullà’s portrait of Machiavelli highlights his close attention to social and emotional bonds, staunch opposition to oligarchy, keen awareness of the economic side of power dynamics, and strong preference for history over philosophy as a guide for leaders.

This book recovers the excitement Machiavelli roused in his first readers for a twenty-first-century audience, capturing his capacity to provoke, both then and now, with unconventional ideas and startling insights.

GABRIELE PEDULLÀ is professor of Italian literature at the University of Roma Tre. His English-language books include In Broad Daylight: Movies and Spectators After the Cinema (2012) and Machiavelli in Tumult: The Discourses on Livy and the Origins of Political Conflictualism (2018). His publications in Italian include award-winning fiction as well as an annotated edition of The Prince

“Pedullà’s On Niccolò Machiavelli will stand as the single most important introductory study of Machiavelli in any language. Covering biographical details and historical context as well as offering concise and astute analyses of Machiavelli’s major writings, it is a work of great insight, depth, and originality.”

“The Ends of Resistance sheds an illuminating light on the shocking ways elite media and politicians have appropriated Black political resistance and the #MeToo movement for corporate and individualistic ends.

The Ends of Resistance Making and Unmaking Democracy

ALIX OLSON AND ALEX ZAMALIN

WHAT FORMS OF RADICAL RESISTANCE THAT WORK LOOK LIKE

Since the rise of Donald Trump and other rightwing authoritarians worldwide, we have been told to “resist.” But this kind of opposition looks surprisingly like restoring the status quo. Under the banner of resistance, liberals and progressives have encouraged voting for centrists, reading the mainstream media, trusting the science, putting up yard signs, buying the right products, and celebrating a “return to normal.” How was “resistance” diluted, and where can we find alternative forms of resistance for present and future struggles?

Alix Olson and Alex Zamalin offer a clear-eyed critical account of how neoliberalism has redefined resistance to thwart social movements and consolidate power. Elites have domesticated and coopted some once-radical concepts and practices to bolster support for an unjust social order while marginalizing and criminalizing many others. Olson and Zamalin argue that true resistance to racial neoliberalism comes from movements such as Occupy Wall Street, the Movement for Black Lives, and Indigenous activism at Standing Rock that push us to live, think, and dream beyond profit maximization, democratic civility, and individual freedom. Powerfully and accessibly written with manifesto-like urgency, The Ends of Resistance shows how social movements deepen our thinking for confronting power.

The Women of the Far Right Social

Media Influencers and Online Radicalization

On mainstream social media platforms, far-right women make extremism relatable. They share Instagram stories about organic foods that help pregnant women propagate the “pure” white race and post behind-the-scenes selfies at antivaccination rallies. These social media personalities model a feminine lifestyle, at once promoting their personal brands and radicalizing their followers. Amid discussions of issues like dating, marriage, and family life, they call on women to become housewives to counteract the corrosive effects of feminism and champion the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which motivated massacres in Christchurch, El Paso, and Buffalo.

Eviane Leidig offers an in-depth look into the world of far-right women influencers. Going beyond stereotypes of the typical male white supremacist, she uncovers how young, attractive women are playing key roles as propagandists, organizers, fundraisers, and entrepreneurs. Leidig argues that far-right women are marketing themselves as authentic and accessible in order to reach new followers and spread a hateful ideology. This insidious—and highly gendered—strategy takes advantage of the structure of social media platforms, where far-right women influencers’ content is shared with and promoted to mainstream audiences. Providing much-needed expertise on gender and the far right, this timely and accessible book also details online and offline approaches to countering extremism.

“A critical examination of recent events and our capacity to prepare and respond to them. Schlegelmilch and Carlin review the key drivers of disaster infrastructure and the incentives that sustain them.

As we reflect on the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic and observe the landscape ahead, this book is a valuable resource.”

Catastrophic Incentives Why Our Approaches to Disasters Keep Falling Short

THE REASONS INSTITUTIONS HAVE FAILED TO PREPARE AGAINST DISASTERS

Societies are vulnerable to any number of potential disasters: earthquakes, hurricanes, infectious diseases, terrorist attacks, and many others. Even though the dangers are often clear, there is a persistent pattern of inadequate preparation and a failure to learn from experience. Before disasters, institutions pay insufficient attention to risk; in the aftermath, even when the lack of preparation led to a flawed response, the focus shifts to patching holes instead of addressing the underlying problems.

Examining twenty years of disasters from 9/11 to COVID-19, Jeff Schlegelmilch and Ellen Carlin show how flawed incentive structures make the world more vulnerable when catastrophe strikes. They explore how governments, the private sector, nonprofits, and academia behave before, during, and after crises, arguing that standard operational and business models have produced dysfunction. The short-termism of electoral politics and corporate decision making, the funding structure of nonprofits, and the institutional dynamics shaping academic research have all contributed to a failure to build resilience. Comprehensive and incisive, Catastrophic Incentives provides timely recommendations for reimagining systems and institutions so that they are better equipped to manage twenty-first-century threats.

The Rural Voter The Politics of Place and the Disuniting of America

The widening gulf between rural and urban America is becoming the most serious political divide of our day. Support for Democrats, up and down the ballot, has plummeted throughout the countryside. After Donald Trump’s surprising victories throughout rural America, pundits and journalists went searching for answers, popping into roadside diners and opining from afar. Rural Americans are supposedly bigots, culturally backward, lazy, scared of the future, and radical. But is it that simple? Is the country splintering between two very different Americas— one rural, one urban?

This pathbreaking book pinpoints forces behind the rise of the “rural voter”—a new political identity that combines a deeply felt sense of place with an increasingly nationalized set of concerns. Combining a historical perspective with the largest-ever national survey of rural voters, Nicholas F. Jacobs and Daniel M. Shea uncover how this overwhelmingly crucial voting bloc emerged and how it has roiled American politics. They show how perceptions of economic and social change, racial anxieties, and a traditional way of life under assault have converged into a belief in rural uniqueness and separateness. Rural America believes it rises and falls together, and that the Democratic Party stands in the way.

An unparalleled exploration of rural partisanship, this book offers a timely warning that the chasm separating urban and rural Americans cannot be papered over with policies or rhetoric. Instead, The Rural Voter demonstrates, this division strikes at the heart of enduring conflicts over American identity.

“Forget what you think you know about rural politics in the United States. With high-quality data and careful analysis, Jacobs and Shea demonstrate that rural voters are not particularly down-and-out or fired up by religion, racism, conservative media, and ideology. Instead, rural economic and civic struggles, which are not unique, have generated a sense of place-based grievance that reflects rural voters’ beliefs about the value of rural life and a linked fate as rural residents.”

Conservatorship

Inside California’s System of Coercion and Care for Mental Illness

THE COMPLEXITY OF PLACING PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES UNDER CONSERVATORSHIPS

Is forced psychiatric treatment the solution to the intertwined crises of untreated mental illness, homelessness, and addiction? In recent years, politicians and advocates have sought to expand the use of conservatorships, a legal tool used to force someone deemed “gravely disabled,” or unable to meet their needs for food, clothing, or shelter as a result of mental illness, to take medication and be placed in a locked facility. At the same time, civil liberties and disability rights groups have seized on cases like that of Britney Spears to argue that conservatorships are inherently abusive.

Conservatorship is an incisive and compelling portrait of the functioning—and failings—of California’s conservatorship system. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with professionals, policy makers, families, and conservatees, Alex V. Barnard takes readers to the streets where police encounter homeless people in crisis, the locked wards where people receiving treatment are confined, and the courtrooms where judges decide on conservatorship petitions. As he shows, California’s state government has abdicated authority over this system, leaving the question of who receives compassionate care and who faces coercion dependent on the financial incentives of for-profit facilities, the constraints of underresourced clinicians, and the desperate struggles of families to obtain treatment for their loved ones.

The Suicidal Person

A New Look at a Human Phenomenon KONRAD MICHEL A PROFOUND NEW LENS ON SUICIDE PREVENTION

Konrad Michel, a leading psychiatrist and acclaimed expert, draws on decades of experience to offer necessary new ways of understanding—and preventing—suicide. After one of his first patients died by suicide, Michel devoted himself to researching self-harm. Writing vividly and personally, he recounts more than forty years of working with and learning from suicidal patients.

Michel shows that suicide is not just a consequence of mental illness but an action related to a person’s life story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with suicidal patients, he argues that suicide and suicide attempts occur when someone experiences extreme emotional pain that severely impairs the ability to think and act rationally. Based on this understanding, Michel and his colleagues developed a personcentered approach to treatment that overcomes the limitations of the traditional medical model. Through a brief therapy, patients find a personally meaningful narrative understanding of their suicidal thoughts and impulses. People at risk can learn to recognize their vulnerabilities in order to manage potentially life-threatening situations and keep themselves safe. Michel emphasizes the importance of communication: medical professionals need to connect with patients as individuals to identify specific warning signs.

Both compassionate and rigorous, this book provides vital insight into suicide prevention and shows how changing attitudes will help save lives. It includes practical advice for people at risk, with special emphasis on young people, as well as for relatives and health professionals.

KONRAD MICHEL is a clinical psychiatrist and psychotherapist as well as professor emeritus of psychiatry at the University of Bern, Switzerland. He is a world-renowned expert in suicide prevention. Michel lost his twenty-year-old son to suicide.

“Michel offers a rare blend of clinical wisdom, poignant personal experience, empirical evidence, and essential practicality in a compelling volume that will prove invaluable to clinicians assessing and treating those struggling with suicidality. This book represents the distillation of three-plus decades of clinical work and applied research into an easy-tounderstand model. Most importantly, it’s an approach that recognizes the enduring vulnerability of being human, and that compassion is the necessary foundation to reducing the tragedy of suicide.”

The Evolution of Religions A History of Related Traditions

LANCE GRANDE

USING EVOLUTIONARY THEORY TO EXPLAIN THE DIVERSITY OF RELIGIONS

Thousands of religions have adherents today, and countless more have existed throughout history. What accounts for this astonishing diversity?

This extraordinarily ambitious and comprehensive book demonstrates how evolutionary systematics and philosophy can yield new insight into the development of organized religion. Lance Grande—a leading evolutionary systematist—examines the growth and diversification of hundreds of religions over time, highlighting their historical interrelationships. Combining evolutionary theory with a wealth of cultural records, he explores the formation, extinction, and diversification of different world religions, including the many branches of Asian cyclicism, polytheism, and monotheism.

Grande deploys an illuminating graphic system of evolutionary trees to illustrate historical interrelationships among the world’s major religious traditions, rejecting colonialist and hierarchical “ladder of progress” views of evolution. Extensive and informative illustrations clearly and vividly indicate complex historical developments and help readers grasp the breadth of interconnections across eras and cultures. The Evolution of Religions marshals compelling evidence that if you go back far enough in time, all major belief systems are related, despite the many conflicts that have taken place among them. By emphasizing these broad historical interconnections, this book promotes the need for greater tolerance and deeper understanding of cultural diversity.

What to Believe?

Twelve Brief Lessons in Radical Theology

If you no longer “believe in God,” the Supreme Being of classical theology, or you never did in the first place, is there anything you still ought to believe, anything you should cherish unconditionally, no matter what? In this lively and accessible book, addressed to believers, “recovering” believers, disbelievers, nonbelievers, and “nones” alike—to anyone in search of what they really do believe—the acclaimed philosopher and theologian John D. Caputo seeks out what there is to believe, with or without religion. Writing in a lucid and witty style, Caputo offers a bold account of a “radical theology” that is anything but what the term suggests to most people. His point of departure is autobiographical, describing growing up in the world of pre-Vatican II Catholicism, serving as an altar boy, and spending four years in a Catholic religious order after high school. Caputo places Augustine’s Confessions, Tillich’s Dynamics of Faith, and Jacques Derrida and postmodern theory in conversation in the service of what he calls the “mystical sense of life.” He argues that radical theology is not simply an academic exercise but a concrete practice immediately relevant to the daily lives of believers and nonbelievers alike. What to Believe? is an engaging introduction to radical theology for all readers curious about what religion can mean today.

JOHN D. CAPUTO is the Thomas J. Watson Professor Emeritus of Religion and Humanities at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Villanova University. His many books include What Would Jesus Deconstruct? The Good News of Postmodernism for the Church (2007), Hoping Against Hope: Confessions of a Postmodern Pilgrim (2015), and The Folly of God: A Theology of the Unconditional (2015).

Plants in Place

A Phenomenology of the Vegetal

UNDERSTANDING THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF PLANTS AND THEIR SURROUNDINGS

Plants are commonly considered immobile, in contrast to humans and other animals. But vegetal existence involves many place-based forms of change: stems growing upward, roots spreading outward, fronds unfurling in response to sunlight, seeds traveling across wide distances, and other intricate relationships with the surrounding world. How do plants as sessile, growing, decaying, and metamorphosing beings shape the places they inhabit, and how are they shaped by them? How do human places interact with those of plants—in lived experience; in landscape painting; in cultivation and contemplation; in forests, fields, gardens, and cities? Examining these questions and many more, Plants in Place is a collaborative study of vegetal phenomenology at the intersection of Edward S. Casey’s phenomenology of place and Michael Marder’s plant-thinking. It focuses on both the microlevel of the dynamic constitution of plant edges or a child’s engagement with moss and the macrolevel of habitats that include the sociality of trees. This compelling portrait of plants and their places provides readers with new ways to appreciate the complexity and vitality of vegetal life. Eloquent, descriptively rich, and insightful, the book also shows how the worlds of plants can enhance our understanding and experience of place more broadly.

Scenes of Attention

Essays on Mind, Time, and the Senses

Are we paying enough attention? At least since the nineteenth century, critics have alleged a widespread and profound failure of attentiveness—to others, to ourselves, to the world around us, to what is truly worthy of focus. Why is there such great anxiety over attention? What is at stake in understanding attention and the challenges it faces?

This book investigates attention from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, history, anthropology, art history, and comparative literature. Each chapter begins with a concrete scene whose protagonists are trying—and often failing—to attend. Authors examine key moments in the history of the study of attention; pose attention as a philosophical problem; explore the links among attention, culture, and technology; and consider the significance of attention for conceptualizations of human subjectivity. Readers encounter nineteenthcentury experiments in boredom, ornithologists conveying sound through field notations, wearable attention-enhancing prosthetics, students using online learning platforms, and inquiries into attention as a cognitive state and moral virtue.

Amid mounting concern about digital mediation of experience and the commodification of attention, Scenes of Attention deepens the thinking that is needed to protect the freedom of attention and the forms of life that make it possible.

These essays provide an interdisciplinary inquiry into the most pressing (and enduring) issues around the attention ecology.”

“Using his lifetime of experience in geology, Johnson illustrates how a landscape can be read as the results of millions of years of geological, biological, and climatological processes. A fascinating and imaginative work.”

—Henry Hooghiemstra, emeritus professor in the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam

Islands in Deep Time

Ancient Landscapes Lost and Found

MARKES E. JOHNSON

AN EXCURSION TO A VARIETY OF PREHISTORIC ISLANDS ALL OVER THE WORLD

Hilltops surrounded by farmland in southern Wisconsin turn out to be the eroded remnants of an ancient archipelago. An island in the Yellow Sea where Korean tourists flock is the peak of a flooded mountain rising from a drowned continental shelf. From a mountaintop shrine to Genghis Khan in Inner Mongolia, the silhouette of a Silurian seascape can be spotted. On the shores of Hudson Bay, where polar bears patrol the Arctic tundra, a close look unveils what was a tropical coastline encrusted with corals nearly 450 million years ago.

The geologist Markes E. Johnson invites readers on a journey through deep time to find the traces of ancient islands. He visits a dozen sites around the globe, looking above and below today’s waterlines to uncover how landscapes of the past are preserved in the present. Going back 500 million years to the Cambrian through the Pleistocene 125,000 years ago, this book reconstructs how “paleoislands” appeared under different climatic conditions and environmental constraints. Finding vestiges of prehistoric ecologies, Johnson emphasizes the complexity of island ecosystems and the importance of preserving these significant sites.

Inviting and accessible, this book is a travelogue that takes readers through time as well as space. Islands in Deep Time shares the adventure of exploring striking locations across geologic eras and issues a passionate call for their conservation.

A Lost Mediterranean Culture

The Giant Statues of Sardinia’s Mont’e Prama

EXPLORING MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY AND SARDINIA’S HERITAGE

Thousands of shattered limestone pieces came to light in 1974 at the Mont’e Prama site in western Sardinia. They have been reassembled into dozens of striking, colossal statues that reward close study by archaeologists, historians, conservators, and restorers. The giant statues and the individual tombs in this monumental necropolis—sculpted by a powerful Mediterranean civilization—make Mont’e Prama a uniquely rich representation of a culture’s values and traditions in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. This is the first English-language book to explore Mont’e Prama’s limestone statues—among the most important archaeological discoveries of the past fifty years and the source of fresh discoveries even today. It is written by the people who are leading the excavation and restoration of these treasures; researching the artifacts and their context; and presenting the eerie faces, towering bodies, and sprawling site to the world. A Lost Mediterranean Culture takes the reader through the details of the various discoveries at Mont’e Prama, recounting the history of scholarship on the artifacts and describing the landscape, the context, and the meticulous restoration efforts. It also addresses the illicit trafficking of Sardinian cultural property. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and other figures that showcase fine details, this book offers fresh information for specialists and captivates a wider audience with the beauty of these massive sculptures.

BARBARA FAEDDA serves at Columbia University as the executive director of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies and as an adjunct professor in the Italian Department. Her books include From Da Ponte to the Casa Italiana: A Brief History of Italian Studies at Columbia University (2017).

PAOLO CARTA is a professor at the University of Trento, where he teaches history of political thought and political theory and serves as dean of the School of Law.

“In recent decades, archaeological research in Sardinia has led to the extraordinary discovery of forty two-meter-tall statues of warriors with swords and shields, archers, and young people with gloved right hands. This impressive book tells the story of the discovery of these statues, adding greatly to our understanding of Sardinia’s magnificent yet often forgotten ancient society.”

East Asia at the Center

Four Thousand Years of Engagement with the World

Second edition

Long before the arrival of Western emissaries and powers, East Asian peoples and states were deeply involved in world affairs. In this sweeping account, Warren I. Cohen explores four millennia of international relations from the vantage points of China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Writing incisively and authoritatively for readers at all levels, Cohen paints a broad but revealing portrait of East Asia’s place in the world. He defines the region’s boundaries widely, looking beyond China, Japan, and Korea to include Southeast Asia, and extends the scope of international relations to consider the vital role of cultural and economic exchanges. Cohen examines the system of Chinese domination in the ancient world, the exchanges between East Asia and the Islamic world, Chinese sea voyages to Arabia and East Africa, and the emergence of a European-defined international system. He chronicles the new imperialism of the 1890s, the ascendancy of Japan, the trials of World War II, the drama of the Cold War, and the transformations of East Asian states toward the close of the twentieth century. By showing that East Asia has often been preeminent on the world stage, this book not only recasts the past but also adds crucial historical perspective on international politics today. This second edition of East Asia at the Center features new material on the first decades of the twenty-first century.

Arguing About Tastes

Modeling How Context and Experience Change Economic Preferences

RETHINKING THE ORTHODOX ECONOMIC NOTION THAT PREFERENCES ARE FIXED

Mainstream economics considers individual preferences to be fixed and unchanging. Although psychologists and other social scientists explore how tastes are formed, influenced, and evolve, it is not considered “proper” in orthodox economics to do so.

Arguing About Tastes makes the case that economists should abandon the principle that preferences are fixed and instead incorporate into their work how context and experience shape individual tastes.

David M. Kreps argues that the discipline must account for dynamic personal tastes when it comes to understanding social exchange, emphasizing human resource management and on-the-job behavior. He develops formal models that illustrate the power of intrinsic motivation and show why applying extrinsic incentives can be counterproductive. Kreps calls for a new era of economics in which preferences are taken into account—and not for granted. The book concludes with responses by the distinguished economists Alessandra Casella and Joseph E. Stiglitz and a final reply by Kreps.

DAVID M. KREPS is the Adams Distinguished Professor of Management and Economics Emeritus at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. He is a leading economic theorist whose contributions span areas including choice theory, financial markets, and game theory. Among his many books are Game Theory and Economic Modeling (1990), Microeconomics for Managers (second edition, 2019), and Microeconomic Foundations I and II (2012, 2023). Kreps has received honors including the John Bates Clark Medal, the John J.

ALESSANDRA CASELLA is professor of economics and political science at Columbia University, where she codirects the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy.

JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ is University Professor at Columbia University and a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.

“Arguing About Tastes is a bold venture into scantily charted territory in microeconomics—the land of endogenous preferences—but I can think of no better guide than David Kreps. He brings energy, humor, and joy to the theory-building work that make this book a pleasure to read.”

“The definitive account of Qatar’s growth from a tiny backwater to a major force in global markets and regional politics, this book draws on Tusiani’s fifty years working on Qatar’s gas industry to provide a fascinating and well-told insider’s account, full of both deep research and unique personal insight.”

From Black Gold to Frozen Gas How Qatar Became an Energy Superpower

Today, Qatar is among the world’s wealthiest countries. Its rich hydrocarbon resources have transformed this small Gulf state into an energy powerhouse, funded its outsized global ambitions, and allowed it to forge an identity separate from those of its large and powerful neighbors.

Drawing on Michael D. Tusiani’s firsthand accounts and deep personal experience and Anne-Marie Johnson’s reporting, this book explores how Qatar became a major player in the global energy market. It follows the twists and turns of Qatar’s road to riches, from the first interest by British and American oil companies in the 1920s to the decades it took to develop the North field—the world’s largest gas field—following its discovery in 1971 through the country’s emergence as one of the world’s leading exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the 2000s.

From Black Gold to Frozen Gas details the technical, financial, and political challenges involved in getting Qatar’s first LNG projects off the ground. It shows how, despite missteps and setbacks, the foundations of today’s Qatar were laid over many decades. And it chronicles epic rivalries within the ruling Al Thani family, among oil companies, and in the geopolitics of the energy landscape. Part historical analysis, part in-the-room narrative, this is the definitive account of oil and gas development in Qatar.

Let There Be Light

How Electricity Made Modern Hong Kong

ILLUMINATING THE HISTORY OF ELECTRIFICATION IN HONG KONG

The remarkable success of twentieth-century Hong Kong was driven by electricity. The British colony’s stunning export-driven economic growth, its status as a Cold War capitalist dynamo, its energetic civil society, its alluring urban modernity—all of these are stories of electricity’s transformative power.

Let There Be Light is a groundbreaking history of electrification in Hong Kong. Mark L. Clifford traces how a power company and its visionary founder jump-started Hong Kong’s postwar economic rise and set in motion far-reaching political and social change against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s shifting relations with the People’s Republic of China and the United Kingdom. Clifford examines avowedly laissez-faire Hong Kong’s attempt to nationalize electricity companies and the longer-term implications for the development of civil society and state controls on private businesses. In the geopolitical struggle of the Cold War, Hong Kong became an explicitly anti-Communist showcase of production and consumption. Its bright lights and neon signs stood in contrast to the darkness and drabness of neighboring China. Electricity transformed people’s everyday lives, allowing children to study at night, streets to be lit, and shops in a self-consciously commercial mecca to stay open late. Offering new perspectives on twentieth-century Hong Kong, Let There Be Light reveals electricity as a catalyst of modernization.

MARK L. CLIFFORD is president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation and the former executive director of the Asia Business Council. He was a director of Next Digital, publisher of the prodemocracy Apple Daily newspaper, and editor in chief of Hong Kong’s two Englishlanguage newspapers, the South China Morning Post and The Standard. His books include The Greening of Asia: The Business Case for Solving Asia’s Environmental Emergency (Columbia, 2015). Clifford lived in Hong Kong from 1992 to 2020.

“Let There Be Light is a cultural, business, and political history of the world’s single most indispensable technology—electricity generation— in a great city that it helped create. This elegantly written, deeply researched, and thoughtful book offers, in microcosm, a global vision of development, finance, and state engagement with the economy.”

The Digital Transformation Roadmap

Rebuild Your Organization for Continuous Change

A VISION FOR IMPLEMENTING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Today, every business is talking about digital transformation. With the acceleration of new technologies, every organization knows it must adapt to survive. But by their own admission, 70 percent of businesses are failing to transform. Across industries, established companies are held back by bureaucracy, inertia, and old ways of working. How can businesses break through to drive real change?

The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides every leader with the answer. Acclaimed author and C-suite adviser David L. Rogers argues that businesses must transform not just products and business models—they must transform the organization itself. Based on two decades of research and advising companies around the world, Rogers identifies the five biggest barriers to digital transformation: vision, priorities, experimentation, governance, and capabilities. He then shows how any business can evolve by heeding the lessons of companies such as Disney, Walmart, Mastercard, Air Liquide, and the New York Times Company. The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides a practical blueprint for organizational change, illustrated with real-world case studies and step-by-step planning tools. Rogers shows every leader how to think beyond the churn of new technologies and rebuild their organization for a world of constant change.

DAVID L. ROGERS is an acclaimed expert on digital transformation, a member of the faculty at Columbia Business School, and the author of five books. His international best-seller The Digital Transformation Playbook (Columbia, 2016) has been published in more than a dozen languages. He has helped global companies transform their business for the digital age, advising senior leaders at Google, Microsoft, Citigroup, Visa, HSBC, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Merck, GE, Toyota, and many more.

“Rogers provides a powerful blend of strategy and tactics to help large companies move smarter and faster into the digital world. Featuring ‘real world’ lessons and a pile of hands-on tools, this book is your essential roadmap to get any firm moving at startup speed.”

The Worth of Art

Financial Tools for the Art Markets

The market for art can be as eye-catching as artworks themselves. Works by artists from da Vinci and Rembrandt to Picasso and Modigliani have sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. The world’s ultrawealthy increasingly treat art as part of their portfolios. Since artworks are often valuable assets, how should financial professionals analyze them?

Arturo Cifuentes and Ventura Charlin provide an expert guide to the methods, risks, and rewards of investing in art. They detail how to apply the financial and statistical tools and techniques used to evaluate more traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and real estate to art markets.

The Worth of Art shows readers how to use empirical evidence to answer questions such as: How do the returns on Basquiat compare to the S&P 500?

Are Monet’s portraits as valuable as his landscapes? Do red paintings fetch higher prices than blue ones, and does the color palette matter equally to the sales of abstract Rothkos and figurative Hockneys? How much should be loaned to a borrower who is pledging one of Joan Mitchell’s late abstract paintings as collateral? Would the risk-return profile of a conventional portfolio benefit from exposure to Warhol?

Rigorous and readable, this book also demonstrates how quantitative analysis can deepen aesthetic appreciation of art.

ARTURO CIFUENTES is a finance professional; senior research associate at Clapes UC, a public policy center affiliated with the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile; and former president of the Chilean sovereign fund investment committee. He holds a PhD in applied mechanics from the California Institute of Technology and has taught at several academic institutions including Columbia Business School.

Charlin is an applied statistician who holds a PhD in quantitative methods in psychology from the University of Southern California and an MS in finance from the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College.

“In The Worth of Art, two sophisticated quantitative analysts demonstrate the value of applying the powerful tools of financial economics to a wide range of issues involving art markets. Arturo Cifuentes and Ventura Charlin have written a genuinely innovative book. Their careful exposition of statistical techniques will be required reading for participants in art markets, and their conclusions will be of interest to anyone who enjoys thinking systematically about art and what makes it valuable.”

Inside IBM

Lessons of a Corporate Culture in Action

IBM was the world’s leading provider of information technologies for much of the twentieth century. What made it so successful for such a long time, and what lessons can this iconic corporation teach present-day enterprises?

James W. Cortada—a business historian who worked at IBM for many years—pinpoints the crucial role of IBM’s corporate culture. He provides an inside look at how this culture emerged and evolved over the course of nearly a century, bringing together the perspectives of employees, executives, and customers around the world. Through a series of case studies, Inside IBM explores the practices that built and reinforced organizational culture, including training of managers, employee benefits, company rituals, and the role of humor. It also considers the importance of material culture, such as coffee mugs and lapel pins.

Cortada argues that IBM’s corporate culture aligned with its business imperatives for most of its history, allowing it to operate with a variety of stakeholders in mind and not simply prioritize stockholders. He identifies key lessons that managers can learn from IBM’s experience and apply in their own organizations today. This engaging and deeply researched book holds many insights for business historians, executives and managers concerned with stakeholder relations, professionals interested in corporate culture, and IBMers.

JOURNALISM

World English-language Print and e-book Rights: Columbia University Press; All Other Rights: McCormick Literary

Julia Kristeva is among the world’s most acclaimed and accomplished thinkers. Born in Bulgaria in 1941, she has lived and worked in France since 1966, becoming one of the country’s most important public intellectuals. A renowned psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist, she has written dozens of books spanning semiotics, political theory, literary criticism, gender and sex, and cultural critique, as well as several novels and autobiographical works, that have been influential worldwide. Kristeva is professor emerita of linguistics at the Université de Paris VII. She was the inaugural recipient of the Holberg International Memorial Prize in 2004 “for innovative explorations of questions on the intersection of language, culture, and literature.” Kristeva has been awarded the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought and the Vaclav Havel Prize and was named commander of the Legion of Honor and commander of the Order of Merit.

Columbia University Press is proud to have been the publisher of Kristeva’s books in English translations for more than four decades, helping her vital body of work reach a global readership. We are now launching the Kristeva Library, reissuing her works with a bold new look and a unified format, with striking new covers and updated interior design to ensure that these essential books continue to inspire and provoke readers around the world for years to come. This catalog features five of her most important works in the debut of the Kristeva Library, with more volumes to come in the following seasons.

Desire in Language

A Semiotic Approach to Literature and Art

JULIA KRISTEVA

“Kristeva’s depiction of contrariety and anomaly at the heart of postmodernist theory is ingenious, provocative, and challenging.”

Contemporary Literature

Desire in Language traces the path of an investigation, extending over a period of ten years, into the semiotics of literature and the arts. Probing beyond the discoveries of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Roman Jakobson, and others, Julia Kristeva proposes and tests theories centered on the nature and development of the novel and on what she has defined as a signifying practice in poetic language and pictural works.

$24.00 / £20.00

Praise for Julia Kristeva:

“[Kristeva’s] work is entirely new, accurate, not through scientific puritanism but because it takes up all the space it deals with, fills it precisely, making it necessary for anyone who counts himself out to reveal himself as an opponent or a censor.”

—Roland Barthes

“Kristeva has inherited the intellectual throne left vacant by the death of Simone de Beauvoir.”

—Elaine Showalter

Powers of Horror

An Essay on Abjection

JULIA KRISTEVA

“Dazzling.”

SubStance

Julia Kristeva offers an extensive and profound consideration of the nature of abjection. Drawing on Freud and Lacan, she analyzes the nature of attitudes toward repulsive subjects and examines the function of these topics in the writings of LouisFerdinand Celine, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and other authors.

“Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror, which theorizes the notion of the ‘abject’ in a series of blisteringly insightful analyses, is as relevant, as necessary, and as courageous today as it seemed in 1984.”

—Peter Connor, professor of French, Barnard College

$24.00 / £20.00 paper 978-0-231-21457-5

NOVEMBER 219 pages / 5.5" x 8.5"

Revolution in Poetic Language

JULIA KRISTEVA

“A crucially important book.”

—Toril Moi, French Studies

In Revolution in Poetic Language, Julia Kristeva explicates her foundational distinction between the semiotic and the symbolic and explores their interrelationships. Linking the psychosomatic to the literary and the literary to a larger political horizon, she questions the premises of linguistic, psychoanalytic, philosophical, and literary theories.

“A lucid and creative consideration of the status and stakes of contemporary cultural criticism, it is essential reading for students of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—and a monumental challenge to all of us.”

—Alice Jardine, Harvard University

$24.00 / £20.00 paper 978-0-231-21459-9

NOVEMBER 271 pages / 5.5" x 8.5"

Strangers to Ourselves

JULIA KRISTEVA

“Kristeva’s most accessible book to date, of broad historical scope and deep personal passion. It is also a very wise book.”

Comparative Literature

This book is concerned with the notion of the stranger—the foreigner, outsider, or alien in a country and society not their own—as well as the notion of strangeness within the self, a person’s deep sense of being, as distinct from outside appearance and their conscious idea of self. Julia Kristeva begins with the personal and moves outward by examining world literature and philosophy. She discusses the foreigner in Greek tragedy, in the Bible, and in the literature of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and twentieth century. By considering the legal status of foreigners throughout history, Kristeva offers a different perspective on our own civilization.

Black Sun Depression and Melancholia

JULIA KRISTEVA

“An absorbing meditation on depression and melancholia. . . . that is both moving and provocative.”

New York Times

In Black Sun, Julia Kristeva addresses the subject of melancholia, examining this phenomenon in the context of art, literature, philosophy, the history of religion and culture, and psychoanalysis. She describes the depressive as one who perceives the sense of self as a crucial pursuit and a nearly unattainable goal and explains how the love of a lost identity of attachment lies at the very core of depression’s dark heart. Kristeva analyzes Holbein’s controversial 1522 painting The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb and makes revealing comments on the works of Marguerite Duras, Dostoyevsky, and Nerval. Black Sun takes the view that depression is a discourse with a language to be learned, rather than strictly a pathology to be treated.

“One of the very best psychoanalytic books on depression and melancholia.”

Startup Myths and Models

What You Won’t Learn in Business School

RIZWAN VIRK

“If you are going on the entrepreneur’s journey, this book is a great companion for every stage of the adventure!”

—Brad Feld, cofounder of Foundry Group and author of #GiveFirst and Venture Deals

Away from Chaos

The Middle East and the Challenge to the West

GILLES KEPEL

Translated by Henry Randolph

“An excellent primer for anyone wanting to get up to speed on the region.”

New York Times

Away from Chaos is a sweeping political history of four decades of Middle East conflict and its worldwide ramifications. Gilles Kepel, called “France’s most famous scholar of Islam” by the New York Times, offers a clear and persuasive narrative of the long-term causes of tension while seamlessly incorporating on-the-ground observations and personal experiences from the people who lived through them. With keen insight stemming from decades of experience, Kepel puts these chaotic decades in perspective and illuminates their underlying dynamics.

GILLES KEPEL is chair of Middle East and Mediterranean studies at the Université Paris Sciences et Lettres and director of the Middle Eastern Mediterranean Freethinking Platform at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano. He is the author of many acclaimed books, including Terror in France: The Rise of Jihad in the West (2017).

SHORT-LISTED, 2021 BEST IN THE WORLD FOOD CULTURE SPICES CATEGORY, GOURMAND AWARDS

“A valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese culinary culture or the global history of the chile . . . . Dott’s research is extensive, while his writing is entertaining, digestible, and peppered with much fascinating information.”

He details how its versatility became essential to a variety of regional cuisines and tracks the cultural meaning of the chile across a wide swath of literary texts and artworks. This book sheds new light on the piquant cultural influence of a potent plant and raises broader questions regarding notions of authenticity in cuisine.

Campaigning While Black Black Candidates, White Majorities, and the Quest for Political Office

MATTHEW TOKESHI

“Tokeshi provides a major contribution to our understanding of when and how racial attacks are effective and what candidates can do about them.”

—Christopher Stout, author of Bringing Race Back In: Black Politicians, Deracialization, and Voting Behavior in the Age of Obama

Why is it so rare for Black candidates to win elections for governor and U.S. senator?

Matthew Tokeshi examines the campaigns of every Black challenger for these offices from 2000 through 2020 and points to the significant effects of racial appeals to white voters. He demonstrates that Black candidates consistently face more attacks on stereotypically anti-Black themes such as crime, sexual misbehavior, and economic redistribution than comparable white candidates. Presenting timely new evidence on the racial dynamics that shape electoral politics in the United States, Campaigning While Black also highlights ways these obstacles can be overcome.

MATTHEW TOKESHI is an assistant professor of political science at Williams College.

I’m Here to Ask for Your Vote

How Presidential Campaign Visits Influence Voters

CHRISTOPHER J. DEVINE

“This book successfully blends a historical and theoretical narrative with an empirical analysis that updates and expands on existing research.”

—Thomas Holbrook, author of Altered States: Changing Populations, Changing Parties, and the Transformation of the American Political Landscape

I’m Here to Ask for Your Vote is a comprehensive and compelling examination of the strategy and effectiveness of presidential campaign visits. Christopher J. Devine uses an original database of presidential and vice-presidential campaign visits from 2008 through 2020 to estimate the effects of visits on vote choice and turnout. He finds that campaign visits do not usually influence voting behavior, but when they do, most often it is by persuading undecided voters.

CHRISTOPHER J. DEVINE is an associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton. His books include Do Running Mates Matter? The Influence of Vice Presidential Candidates in Presidential Elections (2020).

South Korea’s Grand Strategy Making Its Own Destiny

RAMON PACHECO PARDO

Ramon Pacheco Pardo provides a groundbreaking analysis of South Korea’s foreign policy from its transition to democracy in the late 1980s through the present day, arguing that the country’s approach to the world constitutes a grand strategy. Drawing on in-depth interviews with past and present policy makers, this book presents an analytical account of how South Korean strategy is made and practiced.

The United States–South Korea Alliance

Why It May Fail and Why It Must Not

“Snyder is the leading scholar in the country on the U.S.–South Korea alliance. There is much to learn from this book, but the overall theme is particularly compelling: that political polarization at home—and on both sides—poses risks to the alliance.”

The alliance between the United States and South Korea has endured for decades. But recent domestic political turmoil, including deepening political polarization and rising nationalism in both countries, has cast doubt on its viability—with critical implications for the balance of power in East Asia. Scott A. Snyder provides an authoritative overview of the internal and external pressures on the U.S.–South Korea alliance and explores its future prospects.

Syria Divided Patterns of Violence in a Complex Civil War

ORA SZEKELY

“A wonderfully nuanced and insightful account of how struggles to dominate the fractured narrative landscape of Syria’s civil war have shaped the conduct of warring parties [and] a compelling case for the importance of conflict narratives and conflicts over narratives. Szekely’s book deserves to be widely read.”

Ora Szekely examines how competing narratives of the civil war in Syria have shaped the course of the conflict. An insightful analysis of the forces fueling a brutal civil war, Syria Divided offers new perspectives on the performative aspects of violence, the weaponization of social media, and key features of twenty-first-century warfare.

ORA SZEKELY is associate professor of political science at Clark University. She is the author of The Politics of Militant Group Survival in the Middle East: Resources, Relationships, and Resistance (2017), coauthor of Insurgent Women: Female Combatants in Civil Wars (2019), and coeditor of Stories from the Field: A Guide to Navigating Field Research in Political Science (Columbia, 2020).

The Suspended Disaster Governing by Crisis in Bouteflika’s Algeria

THOMAS SERRES

“This pathbreaking book is among the most exciting works on Algeria published in recent decades.”

—Bassam Haddad, coeditor of A Critical Political Economy of the Middle East

After Algeria’s president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced his intention to run for a fifth term in early 2019, a popular peaceful uprising erupted calling for change. The Suspended Disaster offers new insights into the last years of Bouteflika’s rule and the factors that shaped the emergence of an unexpected social movement. Thomas Serres argues that the Algerian ruling coalition developed a mode of government based on the management of a seemingly neverending crisis, marked by an obsession with security and the ever-present possibility of unrest, violence, and economic collapse.

THOMAS SERRES is an assistant professor of politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is a coeditor of North Africa and the Making of Europe: Governance, Institutions, Culture (2018) and an editor for the Maghreb page on Jadaliyya

Disenchanting the Caliphate

The Secular Discipline of Power in Abbasid Political Thought

“A revision of revisionist scholarship, Yücesoy’s book is theoretically engaged and philologically endowed.”

Disenchanting the Caliphate offers a groundbreaking new account of political discourse in Islamic history. Closely reading key eighth-century texts, Hayrettin Yücesoy traces how notions of good governance and reflections on prudent statecraft arose among cosmopolitan literati, shedding light on the emergence and influence of a vibrant secular tradition. Drawing on this history, he critiques the concept of “Islamic political thought,” calling for decolonizing debates about “secular” and “religious” politics.

HAYRETTIN YÜCESOY is an associate professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies at Washington University in St. Louis. His books include Messianic Beliefs and Imperial Politics in Medieval Islam: The Abbasid Caliphate in the Early Ninth Century (2009).

A Taste for Purity

An Entangled History of Vegetarianism

JULIA HAUSER

Julia Hauser explores the global history of vegetarianism from the mid-nineteenth century to the early Cold War. She traces personal networks and exchanges of knowledge spanning Europe, the United States, and South Asia, highlighting mutual influence as well as the disconnects of cross-cultural encounters. Hauser demonstrates that vegetarians in India and the West shared notions of purity, which drew some toward not only internationalism and anticolonialism but also racism, nationalism, and violence.

JULIA HAUSER is senior lecturer in modern history at the University of Kassel. She is the author of German Religious Women in Late Ottoman Beirut: Competing Missions (2015) and a coeditor of Insatiable Appetite: Food as a Cultural Signifier in the Middle East and Beyond (2019).

Smoke on the Water Incineration at Sea and the Birth of a Transatlantic Environmental Movement

DARIO FAZZI

“Smoke on the Water makes a convincing case for the power of translocal pressure groups to restrain U.S. power and influence globally and to shape environmental policy making at home and abroad.”

The U.S. government, military, and industry once saw ocean incineration as the safest and most efficient way to dispose of hazardous chemical waste. But public outcry arose after the environmental and health risks of ocean incineration were exposed, and the practice was banned in the early 1990s. Smoke on the Water traces the rise and fall of ocean incineration, showing how a transnational environmental movement tested the limits of U.S. political and economic power.

DARIO FAZZI is an assistant professor of U.S. and environmental history at Leiden University and a senior researcher at the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies in Middelburg, the Netherlands. He is the author of Eleanor Roosevelt and the Anti-Nuclear Movement: The Voice of Conscience (2016) and coeditor of Eleanor Roosevelt’s Views on Diplomacy and Democracy: The Global Citizen (2020).

The United States and Afghanistan Before the Soviet Invasion

ROBERT B. RAKOVE

“This outstanding study offers the most comprehensive exposition and analysis to date of the Afghan-American relationship through the end of the 1970s. Based on extensive archival research, it provides essential context for anyone who seeks to understand the complex historical roots of America’s failures in Afghanistan.”

—Robert McMahon, author of Dean Acheson and the Creation of an American World Order

Robert B. Rakove sheds new light on the history of U.S. engagement in Afghanistan from the 1920s to the 1979 Soviet invasion, tracing its evolution and exploring its lasting consequences. He demonstrates that Americans were never simply bystanders, playing pivotal roles in the country’s political life. The ensuing collision of U.S., Soviet, and Afghan ambitions transformed the country—and ultimately led it, and the world, toward calamity.

Faith in Markets Christian Capitalism in the Early American Republic

JOSEPH P. SLAUGHTER

“An extraordinarily well-researched examination of the origins of ‘Christian Business Enterprise’ and an impeccably detailed and rich account of three different forms of such enterprises.”

—Paul Harvey, author of Christianity and Race in the American South: A History

Faith in Markets offers a new account of the interplay between religion and capitalism in American history by telling the stories of the nineteenth-century Protestant entrepreneurs who established businesses to serve as agents of cultural and economic reform. Joseph P. Slaughter examines three Christian business enterprises and the visions of a Christian marketplace they represented. He explores how the founders and owners of these enterprises infused their faith into their businesses and, in turn, how distinctly religious businesses shaped American capitalism and society.

JOSEPH P. SLAUGHTER is associate director of the Center for the Study of Guns and Society and assistant professor of the practice in religion at Wesleyan University.

The Remnants of Race Science

UNESCO and Economic Development in the Global South

SEBASTIÁN GIL-RIAÑO

After World War II, UNESCO launched an ambitious international campaign against race prejudice. Sebastián Gil-Riaño traces the influence of ideas from the Global South on UNESCO’s race campaign and examines the campaign participants’ involvement in some of the most ambitious economic development projects of the postwar period. Shedding new light on the postwar refashioning of ideas about race, this book reveals how internationalist efforts to dismantle racism paved the way for postcolonial modernization projects.

Feeling Memory Remembering Wartime Childhoods in France

LINDSEY DODD

“A richly textured, nuanced study of the emotions of history that offers us new ways to think about children’s experiences and the places and events that shape our memory of the past.”

—Shannon L Fogg, author of Stealing Home: Looting, Restitution, and Reconstructing Jewish Lives in France, 1942–1947

What was it like to be a child in France during World War II? Feeling Memory is an affective exploration of children’s experiences in the past and the ways they are remembered. Lindsey Dodd draws on the oral narratives of more than a hundred people to examine the unfolding of everyday lives against a backdrop of war and occupation.

LINDSEY DODD is reader in modern European history at the University of Huddersfield. She is the author of French Children Under the Allied Bombs, 1940–1945: An Oral History (2016) and coeditor of Vichy France and Everyday Life: Confronting the Challenges of Wartime (2018).

Codes of Modernity

Chinese Scripts in the Global Information Age

ULUĞ KUZUOĞLU

Codes of Modernity explores the global history of Chinese script reforms—efforts to alphabetize or simplify the writing system— from the 1890s to the 1980s. Examining the material conditions and political economy underlying attempts to modernize scripts, Uluğ Kuzuoğlu argues that these reforms were at the forefront of an emergent information age. Bringing these experiments together with American behavioral psychologists, Soviet revolutionaries, and Central Asian typographers—who were all devising new scripts in pursuit of informational efficiency—this book offers new ways to understand scripts and rethink the shared experiences of a global information age.

Koume’s World

The Life and Work of a Samurai Woman Before and After the Meiji Restoration

SIMON PARTNER

Kawai Koume (1804–1889) was an accomplished poet and painter and a wife, mother, and grandmother in a lower-ranking samurai family in the provincial castle town of Wakayama. She was an eyewitness to many of the key events leading up to the Meiji Restoration and the radical changes that followed. Through Koume’s eyes and words, Simon Partner opens a window on social, economic, and cultural life amid some of the most dramatic periods of Japan’s transformative nineteenth century.

SIMON PARTNER is professor of history at Duke University. He is the author of three previous books that chronicle modern Japanese history through the lives of ordinary people such as farmers, shopkeepers, and housewives, including most recently The Merchant’s Tale: Yokohama and the Transformation of Japan (Columbia, 2018).

Fear of Seeing

A Poetics of Chinese Science Fiction

MINGWEI SONG

“Fear of Seeing demonstrates the paradoxical significance of the ‘new wave’ of Chinese science fiction as a genre whose aesthetics and ethics offer their audience an alternative window on the cultural sphere.”

—Nathaniel Isaacson, author of Celestial Empire: The Emergence of Chinese Science Fiction

A new wave of cutting-edge science fiction has energized twenty-first-century Chinese literature. Fear of Seeing traces the new wave’s origin and development over the past three decades, exploring the core concerns and literary strategies that make it so distinctive and vital. Reading the works of major writers such as Liu Cixin as well as lesser-known figures, Mingwei Song explores how science fiction has opened up new literary possibilities and new ways of telling stories about China and the world.

MINGWEI SONG is a professor of Chinese literature at Wellesley College. He is coeditor of The Reincarnated Giant: An Anthology of Twenty-First-Century Chinese Science Fiction (Columbia, 2018).

Questioning Borders explores recent ecoliterature by Han and non-Han Indigenous writers of China and Taiwan, analyzing relations among humans, animals, ecosystems, and the cosmos in search of alternative possibilities for creativity and consciousness. By centering Indigenous cosmologies, this book aims to decolonize approaches to ecocriticism, comparative literature, and Chinese and Sinophone studies as well as to inspire new modes of sustainable flourishing in the Anthropocene.

On the Edge Feeling Precarious in China

MARGARET HILLENBRAND

“Combining social engagement and aesthetic sensitivity, this scholarship is as imaginative as it is rigorous.”

—Maghiel van Crevel, author of Chinese Poetry in Times of Mind, Mayhem, and Money

Charismatic artists recruit desperate migrants for site-specific performance art pieces, often without compensation. Construction workers threaten on camera to jump from the top of a high-rise building if their back wages are not paid. Users of a video and livestreaming app hustle for views by eating excrement or setting off firecrackers on their genitals. On the Edge probes precarity in contemporary China through the lens of the dark and angry cultural forms that chronic uncertainty has generated. Margaret Hillenbrand argues that a vast underclass of Chinese workers exist in “zombie citizenship,” a state of dehumanizing exile from the law and its safeguards.

The Inscription of Things Writing and Materiality in Early Modern China

THOMAS KELLY

“Beautifully researched, this book will be read by historians, art historians, and scholars of literature who will particularly enjoy the fascinating sections on materials and technology, as well as the inspiring elucidation of densely allusive texts.”

—Sophie Volpp, author of The Substance of Fiction: Literary Objects in China, 1550–1775

Why would an inkstone have a poem inscribed on it? Early modern Chinese writers carved lines of verse onto cups, ladles, animal horns, seashells, walking sticks, boxes, fans, daggers, teapots, and musical instruments. Calligraphers left messages on the implements ordinarily used for writing on paper. Thomas Kelly develops a new account of the relationship between Chinese literature and material culture by examining inscribed objects from the late Ming and early to mid-Qing dynasties.

Writing Violence

The Politics of Form in Early Modern Japanese Literature

DAVID C. ATHERTON

“With its rich close readings, Writing Violence clearly shows the importance of modular construction and ‘form’ to the literature of early modern Japan and provides us with a new way of understanding how we might think about the relationship between a text and the outside world.”

—Matthew Fraleigh, author of Plucking Chrysanthemums: Narushima Ryūhoku and Sinitic Literary Traditions in Modern Japan

David C. Atherton offers a new approach to understanding the relationship between the challenging formal features of Edo-period popular literature and the world beyond its pages. Focusing on depictions of violence— one of the most fraught topics for a peaceful polity ruled over by warriors—he connects concepts of form and formalization across the aesthetic and social spheres. Writing Violence reveals the essential role of literary form in constructing the world—and in seeing it anew.

Afterlives of Letters

The Transnational Origins of Modern Literature in China, Japan, and Korea

SATORU HASHIMOTO

“

Afterlives of Letters dismantles modern literature’s self-mythologization as a break with the past by showing how East Asian authors created modern literature through conscious engagement with the literary heritage of classical Chinese.”

—Christopher Hill, author of Figures of the World: The Naturalist Novel and Transnational Form

Satoru Hashimoto offers a novel way of understanding the origins of modern literature in a transregional context, drawing on Chinese-, Japanese-, and Korean-language texts in both classical and vernacular forms. He argues that modern literature came into being in East Asia through writerly attempts at reconstructing the present’s historical relationship to the past across the cultural transformations caused by modernization. Featuring remarkable linguistic scope, Afterlives of Letters delivers a remapping of world literature.

The Tarikh-i H . amidi A Late-Qing Uyghur History

MUSA SAYRAMI

Translated by Eric Schluessel

“This brilliantly readable translation and insightful commentary is essential reading for those wishing to understand the region better.”

—Rachel Harris, SOAS University of London

The Tarikh-i Hamidi, written in the early twentieth century, chronicles a rebellion by the Muslim-majority Uyghur people against the Qing empire from its beginnings in 1864 to the Qing reconquest of 1877 and its aftermath. Its author, Musa Sayrami, was an eyewitness to the uprising. His account is at once an invaluable lens on a period of flux and a cornerstone of Uyghur writing.

MUSA SAYRAMI (1836–1917) was an intellectual, writer, and political figure in the region known as Xinjiang or East Turkestan. His works of scholarship and poetry hold an esteemed place in the Uyghur canon.

ERIC SCHLUESSEL is an associate professor of history and international affairs at the George Washington University and the author of Land of Strangers: The Civilizing Project in Qing Central Asia (Columbia, 2020).

“A timely translation for readers interested in premodern Chinese zaju plays.”

—Hongchu Fu, author of Chinese Drama

A Topsy-Turvy World presents English translations of shorter late Ming and early Qing plays, spotlighting a lesser-known side of Chinese drama. Satirical and often earthy, these mostly one-act plays depict deceit, dissembling, reversed gender roles, and sudden upending of fortunes. They provide a glimpse of Chinese daily life and mores even as they question or subvert the boundaries of social, moral, and political order.

Cinematic Guerrillas Propaganda, Projectionists, and Audiences in Socialist China

JIE LI

“A fine contribution to the study of cinema under socialism.”

—Wendy Larson, author of Zhang Yimou: Globalization and the Subject of Culture

In socialist China, more than a hundred thousand mobile film projectionist teams held screenings in improvised open-air spaces in rural areas lacking electricity, amplifying the era’s utopian dreams and violent upheavals. Cinematic Guerrillas is a media history of Chinese film exhibition and reception that offers fresh insights into the powers and limits of propaganda. Drawing on a wealth of archives, memoirs, interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork, Jie Li examines the ideology and practice of “cinematic guerrillas”—at once denoting onscreen militants, off-the-grid movie teams, and unruly moviegoers.

JIE LI is professor of East Asian languages and civilizations at Harvard University. Her books include Shanghai Homes: Palimpsests of Private Life (Columbia, 2014) and Utopian Ruins: A Memorial Museum of the Mao Era (2020).

Revolutionary Becomings

Documentary Media in TwentiethCentury China

YING QIAN

“Revolutionary Becomings opens our eyes to the extremely diverse practices of documentary in modern China for nearly a century. Taking a dialectical approach to revolution and media, Ying Qian urges us to consider documentary as a shaping force of social upheavals and revolutionary events. Rigorous, meticulous, and imaginative, this book makes us rethink documentary as a social medium.”

—Weihong Bao, author of Fiery Cinema: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China, 1915–1945

Revolutionary upheavals characterized China’s twentieth century. Ying Qian studies documentary film as an “eventful medium” deeply embedded in these upheavals and as a prism to investigate the entwined histories of media and China’s revolutionary movements.

YING QIAN is an associate professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University.

An Ethos of Blackness

Rastafari Cosmology, Culture, and Consciousness

VIVALDI JEAN-MARIE

“An Ethos of Blackness takes a unique approach to the social and religious history of Rastafari and how the practice identifies, advances, and meets the ideals of Blackness more broadly but are rooted within Jamaican society specifically.”

—Iyabo Osiapem, College of William & Mary

This book is a groundbreaking account of Rastafari, demonstrating that it provides a normative conception of Blackness for people of African descent that resists Eurocentric and colonial ideas. Vivaldi Jean-Marie examines Rastafari’s core beliefs and practices, arguing that they constitute a distinctively Black system of norms and values—at once an ethos and a cosmology.

VIVALDI JEAN-MARIE teaches in the African American and African Diaspora Studies Department at Columbia University and is a professor of philosophy at the City University of New York. His books include Vodou Cosmology and the Haitian Revolution in the Enlightenment Ideals of Kant and Hegel (2018).

Samson Occom Radical Hospitality in the Native Northeast

RYAN CARR

Foreword by Amy Besaw Medford and Megan Fulopp

“Through careful and broadly considered historical research, Carr creates an impressive network of connected histories through which to situate Occom as a thinker, writer, and leader.”

—Robert Warrior, coauthor of American Indian Literary Nationalism

The Mohegan-Brothertown minister Samson Occom (1723–1792) was a prominent political and religious leader of the Indigenous peoples of present-day New York and New England. In this groundbreaking book, Ryan Carr argues that Occom’s writings were deeply rooted in Indigenous traditions of hospitality, diplomacy, and openness to strangers.

RYAN CARR is a lecturer in English and comparative literature at Columbia University. AMY BESAW MEDFORD and MEGAN FULOPP are members of the Brothertown Indian Nation. Medford is a research affiliate with the Project on Indigenous Governance and Development at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Fulopp is a researcher who manages Brothertown-related projects.

Perilous Intimacies Debating Hindu-Muslim Friendship After Empire

SHERALI TAREEN

Foreword by Faisal Devji

“Perilous Intimacies is terrific. This book will be an excellent resource for scholars thinking about tradition and reform, South Asian Islamic history, secular modernity, and political theology.”

SherAli Tareen explores how leading South Asian Muslim thinkers imagined and contested the boundaries of Hindu-Muslim friendship from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. He argues that often what was at stake in Muslim scholarly discourse and debates on Hindu-Muslim friendship were unresolved tensions and fissures over the place and meaning of Islam in the modern world. Perilous Intimacies also provides timely perspective on the historical roots of present-day HinduMuslim relations.

SHERALI TAREEN is associate professor of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall College. He is the author of Defending Muhammad in Modernity (2020).

Karma and Grace Religious Difference in Millennial Sri Lanka

NEENA MAHADEV

“An important account of interreligious accommodation in a context known for violence and intolerance.”

—Naomi Haynes, University of Edinburgh

Around the turn of the millennium, Pentecostal churches began to pepper majority-Buddhist Sri Lanka, setting off a sense of alarm among Buddhists who saw Christianity as a neocolonial threat to the nation. Through vivid ethnography and keen observations of media events, Karma and Grace illuminates disputes over religious freedom and pluralism amid the rise of charismatic Christianity in Sri Lanka. Neena Mahadev explores the dueling efforts of Buddhist nationalists and Christian evangelists to reshape Sri Lanka’s religious, economic, and political landscapes.

NEENA MAHADEV is an assistant professor of anthropology at Yale-NUS College and holds a courtesy appointment with the National University of Singapore.

Seeing and Believing Religion, Digital Visual Culture, and Social Justice

ELLEN T. ARMOUR

“This fully engaged and persistently hopeful book moves through the stripping-away of critique to find resources for insurrection.”

—Mark D Jordan, author of Transforming Fire: Imagining Christian Teaching

Seeing and Believing marshals religious resources to recast the significance of digital images in the struggle for social justice. Developing theological perspectives on the power and peril of photography and technology, Ellen T. Armour offers ways of seeing drawn from Christianity and found in other religious traditions to help us break with entrenched habits and rethink how we engage with the images that grab our attention.

No Separation

Christians, Secular Democracy, and Sex

LUDGER H. VIEFHUES-BAILEY

“Viefhues-Bailey charts a way out of the crisis of democracy.”

—Ulrich Schmiedel, coauthor of The Claim to Christianity: Responding to the Far Right

Powerful illiberal Christian movements have upended liberal democracies in countries that were once seen as paradigms of secular governance. Ludger H. Viefhues-Bailey offers new insight into the foundations of these movements, demonstrating how they emerge from the contradictions at the intersection of secularism and democracy. No Separation examines recent conflicts that link national identity, religion, and sexuality: debates over Muslim veiling practices in Germany, same-sex marriage in France, and migration and abortion in the United States.

LUDGER H. VIEFHUES-BAILEY is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Gender, and Culture at LeMoyne College and the author of Between a Man and a Woman? Why Conservatives Oppose Same-Sex Marriage (Columbia, 2010).

Buddhist Masculinities

MEGAN BRYSON AND KEVIN BUCKELEW, EDITORS

“A theoretically sophisticated yet accessible book, Buddhist Masculinities is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism and the comparative study of gender.”

—José Ignacio Cabezón, author of Sexuality in Classical South Asian Buddhism

This transdisciplinary book brings together essays that explore the variety and diversity of Buddhist masculinities, from early India to the contemporary United States, and from bodhisattva-kings to martial monks. Buddhist Masculinities adopts the methods of religious studies, anthropology, art history, textual-historical studies, and cultural studies to explore texts, images, films, media, and embodiments of masculinity across the Buddhist world, past and present.

MEGAN BRYSON is associate professor of religious studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

KEVIN BUCKELEW is assistant professor of religious studies at Northwestern University.

The Space of Religion

Writing Backwards

Historical Fiction and the Reshaping of the American Canon

ALEXANDER MANSHEL

“A revelatory account of how literary fiction has been reshaped by ideological shifts within elite cultural institutions in and since the 1980s. Learned and insightful, beautifully written and persuasively argued, this is a timely and indispensable book.”

—Aida Levy-Hussen, author of How to Read African American Literature: Post-Civil Rights Fiction and the Task of Interpretation

For the last several decades, critical acclaim and attention have fixated on historical fiction. This shift is particularly dramatic for writers of color. Even as the literary canon has become more diverse, cultural institutions have celebrated Black, Asian American, Latinx, and Indigenous novelists almost exclusively for their historical fiction. Writing Backwards explores what the dominance of historical fiction in the contemporary canon reveals about American literary culture, offering new insight into how institutions shape literature.

Migrant Aesthetics

Contemporary Fiction, Global Migration, and the Limits of Empathy

GLENDA R. CARPIO

“This book is vital reading for anyone interested in either migration studies or contemporary world literature.”

—Cyrus R K Patell, author of Emergent U.S. Literatures: From Multiculturalism to Cosmopolitanism in the Late Twentieth Century

Glenda R. Carpio argues that we need a new paradigm for migrant fiction. She shows how contemporary authors—Teju Cole, Dinaw Mengestu, Aleksandar Hemon, Valeria Luiselli, Julie Otsuka, and Junot Díaz—expose the historical legacies and political injustices that produce forced migration. They emphasize the limits of empathy, insisting instead that readers recognize their own roles in the realities of migration, which, like climate change, is driven by global inequalities.

GLENDA R. CARPIO is the chair of the English Department and professor of African and African American studies at Harvard University. She is the author of Laughing Fit to Kill: Black Humor in the Fictions of Slavery (2008) and the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright (2019).

Flexible India

Yoga’s Cultural and Political Tensions

SHAMEEM BLACK

“Flexible India offers a powerful panorama of the paradoxes and transformative potential of yoga. Black lays bare painful contradictions in sensitive and compassionate prose.”

—Suzanne Newcombe, author of Yoga in Britain: Stretching Spirituality and Educating Yogis

Shameem Black travels into unexpected realms of popular culture in English from India, its diaspora, and the West to explore and critique yoga as an exercise in cultural power. Although many cultural practices in today’s India exemplify “culture wars” between liberal and conservative agendas, Black argues that visions of yoga offer a “culture peace” that conceals, without resolving, such tensions. Yet yoga can also be imagined in ways that offer new tools for critiquing hierarchical structures of power and race, Hindu nationalism, cultural appropriation, and self-help capitalism.

Moments for Nothing

Samuel Beckett and the End Times

GABRIELE SCHWAB

Gabriele Schwab draws on decades of close engagement with Beckett to explore how his writing speaks to our current existential anxieties and fears. Interweaving critical analysis with personal reflections, she examines the ways Beckett’s works have taken on new meaning in an era of crises—climate change, environmental devastation, and the COVID-19 pandemic—that are defined by both paralyzing stasis and pervasive uncertainty. Beckett’s particular vision of the apocalypse and his sense of persistence, Schwab argues, help us understand our times and even, perhaps, provide sanctuary and solace.

GABRIELE SCHWAB is distinguished professor at the University of California, Irvine, where she holds appointments in comparative literature, anthropology, English, and European languages and studies.

The Mediated Climate

How Journalists, Big Tech, and Activists Are Vying for Our Future

ADRIENNE RUSSELL

“A brilliant, sharp, and original book on how we talk about climate change, and what a difference that might make for our collective future. Change begins with words, and Russell presents an inspiring call for journalists and citizens to lead it.”

—Zizi Papacharissi, author of After Democracy: Imagining Our Political Future

The Mediated Climate explores the places where the climate and information crises meet, examining how journalism, activism, corporations, and Big Tech compete to influence the public. Adrienne Russell argues that efforts to improve climate coverage must take into account the larger social and material contexts in which journalism operates and the broader power dynamics that shape public discourse.

ADRIENNE RUSSELL is Mary Laird Wood Professor and codirector of the Center for Journalism, Media, and Democracy in the Department of Communication at the University of Washington. Her books include Networked: A Contemporary History of News in Transition (2011) and Journalism as Activism: Recoding Media Power (2016).

The Journalist’s Predicament

Difficult Choices in a Declining Profession

MATTHEW POWERS AND SANDRA VERA-ZAMBRANO

“A major contribution to the sociology of news.”

—Lucas Graves, author of Deciding What’s True: The Rise of Political Fact-Checking in American Journalism

Drawing on in-depth interviews in France and the United States, Matthew Powers and Sandra Vera-Zambrano explore the ways individuals come to believe that journalism is a worthy pursuit—and how that conviction is managed and sometimes dissolves amid the profession’s ongoing upheavals. They emphasize that, as with many seemingly individual choices, social factors—class, gender, education, and race—shape how journalists make sense of their profession and whether or not they remain in it.

MATTHEW POWERS is an associate professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he codirects the Center for Journalism, Media, and Democracy. His books include NGOs as Newsmakers: The Changing Landscape of International News (Columbia, 2018).

Antiracist Journalism

The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News

ANDREA WENZEL

“Read this book if you care about how journalism can be problematic and—more importantly—how we can fix it to be more inclusive and relevant.”

—Sue Robinson, author of How Journalists Engage: A Theory of Trust Building, Identities and Care

Across the United States, newsrooms have implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives or made other attempts to confront past and present biases. Are such efforts merely performative, or are any transforming norms and power structures?

Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are attempting to address structural racism. She offers recommendations for building infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability and can make journalism more equitable.

ANDREA WENZEL is an associate professor at Temple University. She is the author of Community-Centered Journalism: Engaging People, Exploring Solutions, and Building Trust (2020).

THOMAS K. RUDEL

“A remarkably timely book that rings a note of optimism for our planet—forwarding the view that severely damaged ecosystems and their imperiled species can be dragged back from the edge of extinction.”

Thomas K. Rudel examines a wide range of conservation and reforestation efforts to shed new light on the social factors that lead to success. He details effective coalitionbuilding strategies and organizational models that have protected, restored, and expanded forests around the world. Reforesting the Earth offers a guide to scaling up local efforts to sequester carbon and makes a powerful case for a global reforestation movement.

Environmental Organizing in Beijing

Middle-Class Communities

JEAN YEN-CHUN LIN

“By offering a textured account of the way space enables civic life to flourish in China, this beautiful book urgently reminds us that even in nondemocratic contexts, people can do great things when they join together to put their hands on the levers of change.”

—Hahrie Han, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Professor of Political Science, inaugural director, SNF Agora Institute, Johns Hopkins University

Environmental organizing in Beijing emerged in an unlikely place in the 2000s: new gated residential communities, where many first-time homeowners found their new neighborhoods facing waste incinerator projects slated for their backyards. Delving into the online and offline conversations of communities affected by the proposed incinerators, Jean Yen-chun Lin demonstrates how a rising middle class acquires the capacity for organizing in an authoritarian context.

An Address in Paris Emplacement, Bureaucracy, and Belonging in Hostels for West African Migrants

AÏSSATOU MBODJ-POUYE

“Mbodj-Pouye’s pathbreaking book is an exquisite close reading of foyers in Paris. An Address in Paris is precisely the kind of careful, empirical, and rigorous scholarship that demonstrates how race—as a social construct—necessarily intersects with other categories such as gender, space, and citizenship.”

—Minayo Nasiali, author of Native to the Republic: Empire, Social Citizenship, and Everyday Life in Marseille

Since 1945

After West African migrants arrived in France in the 1960s, the authorities opened residences for them known as “foyers.”

Aïssatou Mbodj-Pouye examines the changing roles that foyers have played in the lives of generations of West African migrants, weaving together rich ethnographic description with a critical historical account.

AÏSSATOU MBODJ-POUYE is a research fellow in anthropology at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Paris.

An Ungovernable Foe Science and Policy Innovation in the U.S. National Cancer Institute

NATALIE B. AVILES

“How can we inspire innovation in the public interest? At a moment of growing concern about the social impacts of the biomedical research enterprise as it is currently constituted, this book is both timely and important.”

—Shobita Parthasarathy, author of Patent Politics: Life Forms, Markets, and the Public Interest in the United States and Europe

The U.S. National Cancer Institute is tasked with both understanding and eradicating cancer—and its researchers have developed a surprising expertise in virus research and vaccine development. Natalie B. Aviles examines seventy years of federally funded scientific breakthroughs in the laboratories of the institute to shed new light on how bureaucratic organizations nurture innovation.

NATALIE B. AVILES is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Virginia.

Desolación

Centenary edition

GABRIELA MISTRAL

Translated by

Gabriela Mistral was the first Latin American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which she was awarded in 1945. Mistral has fascinated scholars, writers, and artists, who have tried to piece together the variegated layers of her persona and her “emotionally outspoken verses,” as Langston Hughes described them. Sundial House’s centenary edition commemorates Mistral’s debut anthology, Desolación (1922), edited by Federico de Onís at Columbia University. This bilingual edition breathes new life into the Nobel laureate’s first book and makes available in English an intimate portrait of Mistral as a young rural teacher and ardent observer of life. Desolación is an evocative collection of poems and haunting poetic prose that explore desire, grief, motherhood, childhood, nature, and spirituality with radical sensibility.

GABRIELA MISTRAL was born Lucila Godoy y Alcayaga (1889–1957) in Vicuña, Chile. Mistral became a rural school teacher at the age of fifteen and won a Chilean prize in 1914. Her relationship with Columbia University began with the publication of Desolación (1922); she later taught at Barnard College. Mistral was asked to help reform the education system in rural Mexico and served as consul of Chile in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and the United States. Her publications include Lecturas para mujeres (1923), Ternura (1924), Tala (1938), Lagar (1954), and the posthumous epic Poema de Chile (1967).

ALEJANDRA C. QUINTANA AROCHO is a literary translator and an editorial intern at the Paris Review

“The magnitude of these short poems has not been surpassed in our language. The torrential force of ‘Los sonetos de la muerte’ is such that they overflowed their own history, leaving behind the heartrending core of intimacy, remaining open and shelled, like new milestones, in our American poetics. These poems are an affirmation of life. Imprecation, appeal, love, revenge, and joy are the flames that illuminate the sonnets.”

“This heart-wrenching anthology chronicles the passage of slaves from Africa to the Caribbean as seen through the eyes of an enslaved woman. Her journey dramatizes a life of quiet resistance. A true gem.”

—Nemir Matos Cintrón

Negras

YOLANDA ARROYO PIZARRO

Translated by Alejandro Álvarez Nieves

Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro’s writing blends research and fiction to summon voices silenced in archival records. The protagonists actively dissent from their condition as slaves and, more important, from their condition as negras—an identity constructed by and under Eurocentric epistemology. It doesn’t matter whether the slave owners’ initials inscribed on their flesh with blazing iron ever disappear; there won’t be a way to identify them if they don’t have a say. No wonder it’s “the historians, for leaving us out,” to whom Arroyo Pizarro dedicates Negras, aware that the stories of Wanwe, Ndizi, Tshanwe, and Petra burst into and fill historical lacunae that have been deliberately ignored. This bilingual edition also includes an anthology of Arroyo Pizarro’s poetry.

YOLANDA ARROYO PIZARRO has published several books that foster a debate on Afro-identity and sexual diversity. Arroyo Pizarro directs the Department of Afro-Puerto Rican Studies, a creative writing performance project hosted by the Cátedra de Mujeres Negras Ancestrales. The Spanish publication of Negras received the Puerto Rico PEN Club National Award for short fiction. Arroyo Pizarro also received the National Short Story Prize awarded by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture (2012, 2015) and the Institute of Puerto Rican Literature National Prize (2008). In the novels Caparazones, Lesbofilias, and Violeta, Arroyo Pizarro explores transgression from an lesbian perspective. Her work has been translated into several languages.

Ice for Martians

Hielo para marcianos

Second edition

CLAUDIA ULLOA DONOSO

Translated by Lily Meyer

Claudia Ulloa Donoso is an expert at writing gently alienated characters. Sometimes their dislocation is the result of geography. Occasionally it stems from their social conditions: consider “Alarm,” in which every sound and moment is skewed by the narrator’s terror of her abusive partner, or “The Transfiguration of Melina,” whose religious teenage heroine starts the story detached from her sexuality and ends it anything but. More often, though, Ulloa Donoso’s characters are simply Martians: their perspective on the world is singular, whether they want it to be or not.

CLAUDIA ULLOA DONOSO is the author of the short story collections El pez que aprendió a caminar, Séptima madrugada, and Pajarito and, most recently, the novel Yo maté a un perro en Rumanía. She has been recognized by critics and readers as one of the most original and surprising voices in Latin American literature.

In the Name of Desire

A Novel

Second edition

JOÃO SILVÉRIO TREVISAN

Translated by Ben De Witte and João Nemi Neto

In the Name of Desire, first published in Portuguese in the 1980s, is one of the most important gay novels of Brazil. It traces the memories of a man who returns to the seminary where he studied as a child. This visit, thirty years after his sudden departure, evokes stirring impressions of his time there: his first love, nascent homosexual desire, the metaphorical agony of Catholic rituals, and the physical harm inflicted by peers and priests alike. As he revisits the halls, his memory wanders throughout the seminary, creating a narrative both liturgical and profane.

JOÃO SILVÉRIO TREVISAN has been one of the most important queer artists and activists in Brazil since the publication of his earliest novels of the 1960s. His first movie, Orgia ou homem que deu cria, now a cult classic, was one of the first to address queer desire on screen.

BEN DE WITTE holds a doctorate in comparative literature from Rutgers University and currently teaches at the University of Leuven.

JOÃO NEMI NETO is a writer, translator, and teacher. His first novel, Os dois piores anos da minha vida, came out in 2021.

Praise for David Rieff’s previous books:

Praise for Swimming in a Sea of Death: A Son’s Memoir:

“An eloquent record of grief.”

—Diane Johnson and John F Murray, New York Review of Books

For In Praise of Forgetting: “Painfully relevant . . . [A] rich book.”

—Gary J Bass, New York Times

Desire and Fate

At a time when political writing and cultural criticism have come to be dominated by an insipid and unthinking moralism, David Rieff’s essays offer a bracing antidote. The writings collected in Desire and Fate cover topics as diverse as censorship in contemporary publishing, the cultural ubiquity of the notion of trauma, and the future of democracy on a global level. They are all characterized, however, by an incisive intelligence and a refreshing lack of wishful thinking; together they confirm Rieff’s status as an indispensable writer and thinker.

DAVID RIEFF is an acclaimed memoirist and a leading authority on international relations. His most recent books are The Reproach of Hunger: Food, Justice, and Money in the Twenty-First Century and In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and Its Ironies.

Glossary of Cognitive Activism

For a Not So Distant Future

Fourth edition

We live in a world of tremendous connectivity and little collectivity, leaving us witness to the diffuse degrading of personal freedoms. The resurgence of racism and sexism, the power of the global art market, the de-emphasis of theory and the humanities in university curricula, and assaults on privacy such as digital profiling are just a few examples of the strategy of normalization and governmentalization in the digital economy. That massive demonstrations against American and British involvement in the Iraq War had no effect is a direct result of our use of archaic forms of resistance to solve twenty-firstcentury problems.

The artist and writer Warren Neidich’s thoughtprovoking and timely Glossary of Cognitive Activism updates the epistemological foundations of resistance. Cognitive capitalism assumes that wealth production is the product of a brain highly attuned to hyper-branded, designed sensibilities. This project considers as antidote the role of diverse aesthetic production in the creation of diverse neural maps and network configurations.

WARREN NEIDICH is an artist, writer, and founder of the Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art. He has edited or coedited a number of books, including the three-volume Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism

Praise for the previous edition: “A repository of vital knowledge and conceptual therapeutics, a toolbox for the willing and the needy.”

Secrets of Beauty

JEAN COCTEAU

A towering figure in the worlds of literature, cinema, and visual art, Jean Cocteau was one of the most influential creative artists of the twentieth century. In this collection of brief—often aphoristic—meditations, he reflects on the nature of beauty itself. Ranging over painters, poets, and musicians, Cocteau offers brilliant insights into the essential loneliness of the artistic vocation. As well as throwing new light on the author’s own artistic achievement, Secrets of Beauty is a vital contribution to aesthetic theory in its own right.

JEAN COCTEAU (1889–1963) was a writer, filmmaker, and visual artist. He was prominently associated with the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements.

Confessions

GABRIELE TINTI AND ANDRES SERRANO

Translated by David Graham

In this highly distinctive artistic collaboration, the poet Gabriele Tinti and the photographer Andres Serrano have produced a haunting meditation on religion, violence, and physicality. Tinti’s verses accompany a series of images composed by Serrano—one of the most highly regarded artists of our time. Serrano’s works engage provocatively with the visual legacy of the Christian and classical traditions while also embodying a very particular kind of beauty. Both the poems and the images in this volume are major achievements in their own right; together, they make for an essential collection.

GABRIELE TINTI is an Italian poet and writer. The prizewinning author of the collection Ruins, he has worked with the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the British Museum, among many other institutions.

ANDRES SERRANO is an American artist and photographer. Renowned for his ambitious and challenging installations, he has won acclaim for series of photographs including America (“the photographs give such vivid presence to their subjects that it is hard not to feel genuinely moved”—New York Times) and Torture (“both a call for justice and a compassionate portrayal of the human plight”—The Guardian).

Luminous Lives

A Biography of Anna-Eva Bergman

THOMAS SCHLESSER

Translated by Charles Penwarden

Long neglected by art historians, AnnaEva Bergman (1909–87) was a painter of major importance who invested her work with an almost mystical ambition. The story of her life, told for the first time in this meticulously researched biography, is extraordinary: a Norwegian childhood that was constantly overshadowed by fear; a bohemian and adventurous youth that spanned much of Europe; a career as an illustrator; increasingly severe health problems; three marriages, two of which were to the same man (Bergman’s fellow artist Hans Hartung); and a tragic end in the splendor of their villa in Antibes. Thomas Schlesser’s biography, which draws on the considerable body of written material that Bergman left behind, at long last enables us to understand this extraordinary artist in all the complexity of her character and the dramatic circumstances of her life.

Hans Hartung in His Own Words

THOMAS SCHLESSER, EDITOR

Hans Hartung was one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists. His works mark him out as an outstanding practitioner of abstract painting, but he was also a highly perceptive commentator on a wide variety of artists and artistic styles. In this book, the distinguished art historian Thomas Schlesser gathers together Hartung’s most illuminating remarks on his predecessors and contemporaries, as well as on the creative process more generally. Hans Hartung in His Own Words will prove an indispensable companion to a major figure in the cultural life of the last century.

Twenty Conversations with Local Leaders Solving Global Problems

ANTHONY FLINT

Introduction by Michael Bloomberg

In this collection of interviews, with an introduction by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, twenty mayors from five continents share their strategies for tackling global challenges at the local level. During a period dominated by racial unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increasingly vivid impact of the climate crisis, these enterprising leaders have made their cities more functional, fiscally sound, healthy, and sustainable places to live and work. Mayor’s Desk argues that local governments are the real engines of global change. Packed with full-color photography, it will inspire, educate, and surprise all who strive to influence the evolution of their cities.

“Cities are incubators for innovation, and while we don’t always have the same challenges . . . we are constantly learning from each other.”

—Mayor Muriel Bowser, Washington, DC

Greening America’s Smaller Legacy Cities

JOSEPH SCHILLING, CATHERINE TUMBER, AND GABI VELASCO

Preparing the country for a low-carbon future that is economically and racially just is an enormous undertaking. Greening America’s Smaller Legacy Cities investigates how local governments in small and midsize older industrial cities can adopt and implement comprehensive sustainability initiatives. It explores three principal policy areas—climate resilience, environmental justice and equity, and green economic development—and shows how their integrated application can serve as the policy foundation for what scholars term “green regeneration.” This synthesis of sustainability initiatives offers local officials; their state and regional partners; and their nonprofit, business, institutional, and philanthropic collaborators a policy framework and roadmap for regenerating small and midsize legacy cities in an equitable, climate-resilient manner.

Prize Laws, the British Empire and the Modern Legal Order

Focusing on the king’s rights of conquest and prize among other forms of royal jurisdiction, as well as laws of allegiance and subjecthood, this work establishes the monarchical form of the British Empire between 1600 and 1900. It gives special attention to the East India Company’s administration and conquests in India as well as “direct” Crown rule thereafter. Rahul Govind analyzes jurisprudential and philosophical literature, from Coke and Hobbes to Austin and Maine, as well as celebrated legal cases, to make a case for the centrality of king, empire, and war in a critique of modernity when represented as the progressive culmination of nation-state, property, democracy, and rule of law.

RAHUL GOVIND teaches history at the University of Delhi and has held fellowships at Columbia University; the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi; the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla; and the University of Cambridge. The author of Infinite Double (2015), he has published several articles in academic journals on themes ranging from political economy and philosophy to imperialism and jurisprudence.

Joseph Conrad’s Texts and Intertexts

In Honour of Professor Wiesław Krajka

Joseph Conrad’s Texts and Intertexts: In Honour of Professor Wiesław Krajka is a collection of studies that examine various aspects of Joseph Conrad’s literary art, with the organizing ideas being textuality and intertextuality, both broadly understood. Conrad’s intertextual relationships include the influence of literary, cultural, and philosophical tradition as well as affinities with and departures from the works of his predecessors (Miguel Cervantes, John Milton, the post-Miltonian tradition); contemporaries (Henry James, H. G. Wells); and those who followed him (Aksel Sandemose, Premendra Mitra) or adapted his works (János Gosztonyi). Textuality is understood in terms of the artistic organization of Conrad’s texts but also as a means with which to identify interpretative paths and thematic interests, in particular the social, moral, and economic issues that he tackled in his fiction. Thematically, the essays consider issues such as escapism, femininity, the arts, illicit conduct, fidelity, secrecy, isolation, immigration, otherness, terrorism, and social equality.

Each new reading unveils Conrad’s artistic genius as the authors reevaluate both critically acclaimed and lesser-known works, drawing out one key trait: ambivalence. This perspective spurs new interpretations and indicates Conrad’s unparalleled ability to provoke readers to constantly rediscover artistic and ethical dimensions of his oeuvre.

This book is volume 32 of the series Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives, edited by Wiesław Krajka.

EWA KUJAWSKA-LIS is a professor at the Institute of Literary Studies at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. She specializes in Victorian and post-Victorian fiction and has a particular interest in the early translations of the works of Charles Dickens and Joseph Conrad. She has written articles for The Dickensian, Dickens Quarterly, The Conradian, and Conradiana on the Polish translations and reception of these two authors as well as various aspects of their works.

This volume of essays—dedicated to the memory of Professor Zdzisław Najder (1930–2021)—is a collective gift made by Conrad scholars from the United States, Canada, and Europe. It comprises seventeen essays in English and twelve in Polish (including several texts containing reminiscences of Najder), a bibliography of Najder’s publications, and an index of names. The essays discuss Conrad’s literary achievements and the ever-relevant questions they continue to raise, and they draw attention to Conrad’s European (and especially Polish) cultural roots—a subject that was of particular interest to Najder.

JOLANTA DUDEK is a professor emeritus in the Faculty of Polish Language and Literature at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. She is the president of the Polish Joseph Conrad Society. ANDRZEJ JUSZCZYK is an associate professor in the Faculty of Polish Language and Literature at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and works with the chair of International Polish Studies.

ERICA LEHRER AND ROMA SENDYKA, EDITORS

This book is the result of a scholarly intervention into the space of the Kraków Ethnographic Museum. It is a true blend of theory and practice; an attempt to embed the university in the broader social world while similarly urging museums to speak directly to the societies about which they teach. Thinking through the museum becomes not only a critical view of the institution but also a meditation on society, its rules, and the identities of its inhabitants.

EXHIBITING THEORY

Re-writing Dance Modernism: Networks

JULIA HOCZYK AND WOJCIECH KLIMCZYK, EDITORS

Dance modernism is not only a part of cultural history but also, perhaps above all, a fundamental reference for thinking about the dancing body’s past and presence as well as its many practices. Finally, dance modernism is a story of modern longings and anxieties. The story has been constantly rewritten, with a growing awareness of its global and collective character. An outcome of a meeting between dance historians and practitioners, this book is an example of such awareness.

JULIA HOCZYK is a theater scholar, dance critic and theorist, and editor. She works in the Publishing and Documentation Department of the National Institute of Music and Dance.

WOJCIECH KLIMCZYK works at the Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilizations at the Jagiellonian University. He spent nearly a decade as a member of the Harakiri Farmers artistic collective working at the intersection of contemporary dance and theater.

Spaces of Diversity?

Polish Music Festivals in a Changing Society

KAROLINA GOLEMO AND MARTA KUPIS, EDITORS

“This interdisciplinary book captures many different aspects and contexts of music festivals.”

—Urszula Jarecka, Polish Academy of Sciences

Music festivals offer a chance to experience musical and cultural diversity, sorely needed in Poland, which, for a long time, was separated from much of global culture. The essays in this volume explore two questions: can music festivals serve as spaces of diversity, where people can get to know other cultures and groups of people; and if so, how?

KAROLINA GOLEMO is an assistant professor at the Institute of Intercultural Studies, Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Currently she is conducting research on African cultural heritage in Portugal and is a principal investigator in the international HERA-funded project European Music Festivals, Public Spaces, and Cultural Diversity

MARTA KUPIS is a doctoral student at the Jagiellonian University’s Doctoral School of Humanities in Kraków, Poland. Since 2019, she has participated in the international HERA-funded FestiVersities project, focusing on the ways music festivals help connect people of diverse origins and identities.

The Shields of the Empire reconstructs the involvement of the Eastern Roman military elite in matters of state during the fifth century. Through the history of the numerous wars during that uneasy time, Łukasz Pigoński details the periods of conflict and cooperation between the generals and the emperors. He advances a novel interpretation of the nearly seven decades of turmoil that, contrary to what happened in the West, did not result in the collapse of the Eastern Roman state.

The Untimely Resurrection of John Alexander MacNeil

A Novel

LESLEY CHOYCE

Ninety-year-old John Alexander MacNeil still lives alone on the blessed isle of Cape Breton. He still sometimes makes tea for his wife, who died decades ago. He accepts his lonely life, ignoring the world changing around him. But one night, he feels his heart stop. After willing himself back to life with sheer stubbornness, John Alex finds Death himself sitting at his kitchen table, perplexed and intrigued by his victim’s recovery. What follows is a tale on the edge of reality, full of love, doubt, and the inexplicable details of an extraordinary life. Keeping what wits he has about him, John Alex needs to muster all the wisdom and courage he has to protect those around him from the dangers of an ever-changing world and the grim reaper he has come to know. The acclaimed author of The Unlikely Redemption of John Alexander MacNeil takes the reader through another astonishing adventure about time and love.

Enough

You can’t win a race you’re kept from running. Set amid the cubicles and courtyards of Toronto City Hall, Kimia Eslah’s third novel centers on three women of color navigating labyrinths at work, in love, and in life. Faiza Hosseini is a cutthroat executive with a proven record—she knows she’s enough, but can she circumvent the old boys’ club? Sameera Jahani is passionate about equity, but her girlfriend isn’t—can she bridge this gap, or has she had enough? Goldie Sheer has triumphantly landed her first job, but unexpected work drama makes her question—is she really enough? With grace and insight, Eslah bares three women’s experiences of structural discrimination, from microaggressions to corruption.

Enough is an empathetic missive to anyone working on equity, diversity, and inclusion—in cubicles, courtyards, and countless other spaces.

KIMIA ESLAH is a feminist writer and a queer woman of color. Her work has been featured on CBC Books and in Ms. Magazine and the Miramichi Reader. She is the author of Sister Seen, Sister Heard and The Daughter Who Walked Away. Her novels explore the effects of systemic discrimination, patriarchy, mental illness, and queerphobia on women of color.

“Trying to change the system from within? You’re gonna have to fight City Hall, and Kimia Eslah shows how it’s done in this no-bullshit novel as she yanks the lid off a workplace of endless meetings and deeply gendered racism. I cheered as her characters parse the shifting meanings of ambition, loyalty, and solidarity played out across generations. This book shows us a slice of the municipal government we’ve got and tantalizes with the municipal government we want. Enough is more than enough!”

FICTION

“Rape, femicide, and the social exploitation of women are endemic. Feminist activism to end gendered oppression and violence is urgent and will be strengthened by fostering a greater understanding of the masculinist and patriarchal nature of militarism and war and making the scope and extent of current movements for change better known.”

Women in Black Against Violence, for Peace with Justice

Women in Black is a worldwide network of women “committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism, and other forms of violence.” The late feminist solidarity activist Cynthia Cockburn tells the story of this indispensable global antiviolence movement known around the world for staging dramatic actions that seek to expose and denounce war, rape, militarism, and apartheid. An inspiring account of a networked feminist struggle, this book also presents a template for analysis and action in our era of multiplying wars, surging military spending, and rampant gendered violence. As neoliberal states starve the commons to feed the war machine and nationalist movements gain traction around the world, there is much to learn from the transversal actions and coalition building that Women in Black has engaged in for decades.

Cynthia Cockburn knew she was going to die before she was able to complete this book, so she asked her companions from the global Women in Black network to carry on with this vital project of chronicling a movement that has spanned decades and continents. The result is a testament to the beauty and intellectual power of a truly collective effort. This dramatic and inspiring story of a historymaking movement could not be more vital and life affirming.

CYNTHIA COCKBURN was a researcher in the fields of gender, war and peace-making, labor processes and trade unionism, and refugees. She was active in the international women’s peace movement. Cockburn was a visiting professor in the Department of Sociology at City University London and honorary professor in the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender at the University of Warwick.

SUE FINCH is a feminist peace activist who is part of Women in Black, a worldwide network of women committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism, and other forms of violence.

Resisting Eviction

Domicide and the Financialization of Rental Housing

ANDREW CROSBY

How can Ottawa aspire to become “North America’s most livable mid-sized city” while large-scale, demolition-driven evictions displace hundreds of people and destroy a community? Resisting Eviction centers tenant organizing in its investigation of gentrification, eviction, and the financialization of rental housing. Andrew Crosby argues that racial discrimination, property relations, and settler colonialism inform contemporary urban (re)development efforts and affect affordable housing loss. He examines the deliberate destruction of home—domicide—and tenant resistance in the Heron Gate neighborhood in Ottawa, where a multi-billion-dollar real estate investment firm has displaced hundreds of people—predominantly lower-income, racialized households—since 2016, leading to the emergence of the Herongate Tenant Coalition to fight the evictions.

ANDREW CROSBY is a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Planning at the University of Waterloo, with a PhD from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University. He is coauthor of Policing Indigenous Movements: Dissent and the Security State (Fernwood, 2018).

Decolonizing Sport

JANICE FORSYTH, CHRISTINE O’BONSAWIN, RUSSELL FIELD, AND MURRAY G. PHILLIPS, EDITORS

This book tells the stories of sport colonizing Indigenous Peoples and of Indigenous Peoples using sport to decolonize. Spanning several lands—Turtle Island, the United States, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Kenya—it demonstrates the doubleedged nature of sport. Colonizers used sport, their own and Indigenous recreational activities they appropriated, as part of the process of dispossession of land and culture. Yet Indigenous Peoples also used sport, playing their own games and those of the colonizers, subverting colonial rules as liberation. This timely collection sheds light on unacknowledged histories and imagines a new way forward.

Tipping Point for Advanced Capitalism Class, Class Consciousness and Activism in the “Knowledge Economy”

D. W. LIVINGSTONE

Foreword

This pathbreaking book examines the changing class makeup of the G7 and Nordic labor forces since the 1980s, documenting the rise of nonmanagerial professional employees. The book provides unprecedented tracking of the links between employment classes and higher levels of class consciousness, including the often hidden political consciousness of corporate capitalists as well as the extent of oppositional and revolutionary consciousness among nonmanagerial workers. Revealing the strategic roles these key class agents play in actions to defend or transform advanced capitalism, this evidence-based study brings class back into grasping the intimately linked ecological, economic, and political crises we now face.

D. W. LIVINGSTONE is professor emeritus and past Canada Research Chair in Lifelong Learning and Work at OISE/ University of Toronto. His books include Professional Power and Skill Use in the “Knowledge Economy”: A Class Analysis (2021) and Class, Ideologies, and Educational Futures (second edition, 2012).

Contested Global Governance Space and Transnational Agrarian Movements

MAURO CONTI

This book is a groundbreaking study of the new transnational agrarian movements. It explores how they strategize against the global governance of agriculture to confront neoliberal aims of expanding capital penetration in the countryside. These movements oppose financialization and neoliberal policies; they instead defend food sovereignty and seek to foster a system based on agroecology that values labor and natural resources over capital. The book is written from their perspective, merging scholarship with activism.

MAURO CONTI is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Calabria, Italy, and works as a consultant on family farming. He is the past global coordinator of the Secretariat of the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty and has served as president and policy officer at Centro Internazionale Crocevia.

Warmonger

Vladimir Putin’s Imperial Wars

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was an imperial war long in the making. Putin’s Russia wants its empire back and has been at war with the West for years; it took the events in Ukraine for the West to realize it. This is just the latest in a series of Putin’s wars of aggression: Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Syria, and now Ukraine. Initially, the war in Chechnya propelled Putin to the presidency. War then proved central to his rule. It helped craft the new social contract between president and people, a contract grounded in a shared vision of Russian national identity and its place in the world. This book examines each of Putin’s military interventions to show how Russia rebuilt itself after the 1990s, detailing how it embraced authoritarian politics and developed an imperial view of itself and its place in the world through a series of bloody conflicts.

The rise of China has been the object of much frenzied reaction within Western civil society even though Beijing’s power remains limited internationally. This book explores the uncertainties and dilemmas China’s rise has fueled for both the U.S.-sponsored liberal order and Chinese elites. Zeno Leoni provides critical tools to understand the causes of the contemporary political and media turmoil about China.

Taiwan

A Contested Democracy Under Threat

JONATHAN SULLIVAN AND LEV

As a top-twenty global economy and tech powerhouse, a liberal democracy on the frontline of autocratic pressure, and a pivotal player in the Indo-Pacific, Taiwan has enormous ramifications for today’s global order. Jonathan Sullivan and Lev Nachman consider Taiwan’s complex and multilayered history and the many roles it pays in international politics. They show the need to go beyond the crude dichotomies of “democracy vs. authoritarianism” or “independence vs. unification.” Taiwan’s history and future are intimately tied to wider questions of decolonialism, national identity, economic interdependence, and democratic values— all set against an ever-present security threat.

Feminist Political Economy A Global Perspective

SARA CANTILLON, ODILE MACKETT, AND SARA STEVANO

Feminist political economy is essential to understanding the hierarchies that sustain contemporary capitalism. Rejecting genderblind approaches in economics and political economy, feminist political economy shines a light on the power relations that shape household, national, and global dynamics. Feminist political economists recognize and explore the relations among the economic, the social, and the political in the reproduction of inequality. This book is a much-needed introduction to key topics in feminist political economy. Taking a global perspective, it provides a nuanced understanding of the role of power relations and inequality in the economy.

How to Save the City A Guide for Emergency Action

PAUL CHATTERTON

Paul Chatterton invites the reader to engage with the challenges of living and working in cities at a time when several emergencies have become more pressing and connected. These emergencies are playing out in acute ways in urban areas. Cities are responsible for about three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, have ecological and carbon footprints far bigger than their city limits, and are the beating heart of our pro-growth, unequal, consumer-saturated way of life. The city has to change, but how and by whom? Chatterton engages, inspires, and empowers the reader to take action to make cities more sustainable, livable, and safer places. He guides the reader through a sequence of challenges, strategies, players, moves, and practical tactics to save their city.

Macroeconomic Policy Since the Financial Crisis

MATTEO IANNIZZOTTO

Starting from the premise that all models are wrong but some are useful, Matteo Iannizzotto introduces and explains the working of the various macroeconomic models available for policy making. Through a clear and critical approach, students are challenged to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each model so that they develop their own critical engagement with macroeconomic policy making. The inconsistencies and contradictions evident in the real world require the economist to make choices about which models to adopt in certain circumstances and not to adhere rigidly to a single approach. Aimed at second-year macroeconomics students, this book provides a basis for understanding the economy’s fluctuations since the Global Financial Crisis brought the previous period of stability, known as the Great Moderation, to an abrupt end.

Central Bank Digital Currencies The Future of Money

MICHAEL LLOYD

“I welcome a book that [provides] a comprehensive overview of central bank digital currencies, their benefits and risks, and their potential impact on the global financial system while also being accessible and practical.”

—Professor Michael Mainelli, chairman, Z/Yen Group and sheriff of the City of London, 2019–21

The advent of digital stablecoins and the continuing decline of cash are prompting central banks across the world to explore developing their own digital currencies. Although few have launched so far, the potential for central bank digital currency (CBDC) promises a revolution in banking.

Michael Lloyd considers the opportunities and threats that the arrival of CBDCs will bring about for commercial banking and the world’s monetary system. He examines the choices facing central banks regarding the use, design, and technology of digital currencies as well as the potential effects on consumer security and privacy.

The Natural Dividend Just Management of Our Common Resources

JONATHON MOSES AND ANNE MARGRETHE BRIGHAM

Forced to embrace a postcarbon future or risk serious damage to the planet, we have begun a race for alternatives. Jonathon Moses and Anne Brigham consider how we might negotiate the world’s scarce pool of natural resources, showing the need for management regimes that are politically as well as environmentally sustainable. They propose an alternative way to think about resource management based on the collective ownership of (stewardship over) nature, in which the rents resulting from this ownership, like the resources that produce them, belong to the people. Using case studies from particular markets, they demonstrate how such a management model might work to protect our common heritage and allow communities to secure the benefits.

JONATHON MOSES is professor in the Department of Sociology and Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He is currently a visiting scholar at the University of Washington.

ANNE MARGRETHE BRIGHAM is senior researcher at Ruralis, the Institute for Rural and Regional Research, Trondheim, Norway.

Climate Finance

Responding to climate change is commonly understood as a financial challenge: What are the expected costs of the effects of climate change? How much money is needed to reduce emissions to a safe level and to help people live in a changing climate? Who should pay? These questions, however, do not tell us much about the relationships between and contestations over climate change and finance capitalism. This book develops an expansive definition of climate finance and a critical framework for analyzing its political economy. Drawing from a wide range of case studies, it highlights the diversity, scale, and contradictions of climate finance entanglements, such as funding renewable energy, putting a price on carbon, responsible investing, and financializing resilience.

Fire and Geopolitics in a ClimateDisrupted World

SIMON DALBY

Fire is a key physical process, one that humans alone have worked out how to partly control. The power to use fire has transformed human societies and propelled us to the role of the dominant species in the biosphere. Now, as the products of the combustion of fossil fuels are accumulating in the atmosphere, the climate is changing rapidly. Simon Dalby argues that humanity’s success in using fire has radically changed our circumstances and unless we work out how to constrain this firepower soon, our success with combustion threatens to undo what we have created. The challenge is how to make a new economy for life after fossil fuels so that the earth will remain livable for future generations.

SIMON DALBY is emeritus professor of geography and environmental studies at Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada. He has written extensively on climate change, environmental security, and geopolitics.

The Cultural Infrastructure of Cities

ALISON L. BAIN AND JULIE A. PODMORE, EDITORS

Cities are synonymous with the production and consumption of culture. This book critically reexamines the relationship between the urban and its cultures and highlights the foundational role of culture to the materiality and sociality of urban life and the governance of cities. The book begins with a theoretical overview of the cultural and infrastructural turns in urban studies scholarship and then focuses on aspects of producing, performing, consuming, and collecting culture through detailed case studies from seventeen cities across the global North and South.

This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative examination of the key issues relating to global health. Topics considered include health inequalities across countries; the governance of health by nation-states and international organizations; the incidence and spread of infectious disease; the associations between air and water quality and human health; food (in)security and safety; and the health effects of climate change. The book considers how these different issues play out in a range of geographical settings across the world, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries, which are disproportionally affected. The book is an excellent resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on health geography, global health, public health, and development studies.

The Challenge of Inclusive, Quality Education for All

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #4 focuses on inclusive, quality education, galvanizing efforts for educational reform around the globe. Progress is being made, but is it enough?

Victoria W. Thoresen argues that unless implementation of the new definitions of inclusive, quality education is prioritized everywhere, sustainable development will be severely hampered. She examines the recent evolution of education in light of political and commercial ambitions, technological advancements, and knowledge creation and sharing. Key concerns relating to education for and learning about sustainable development are identified, and major obstacles to achieving inclusive, quality education for all are discussed.

Labour Regimes and Global Production

ELENA BAGLIONI, LIAM CAMPLING, NEIL M. COE, AND ADRIAN SMITH, EDITORS

The advent of new digital currencies has challenged our notions about money, its function and purpose, and our faith in the financial and banking structures that underpin its legitimacy. Oonagh McDonald charts the spectacular rise of cryptocurrencies over the past decade, tracing how regulatory bodies have been slow to respond to a technology that is evading existing frameworks. This revised edition includes a new chapter dealing with the high-profile bankruptcies of the recent “crypto winter.”

She was formerly a British member of Parliament and is currently senior adviser to Crito Capital LLC. Her books include Lehman Brothers: A Crisis of Value (2015) and Holding Bankers to Account (2019).

This book traces the intellectual development of labour regime concepts across various disciplines, notably political economy, development studies, sociology, and geography. It considers conceptual debates around labour regimes and global production relating to issues of scale, informality, gender, race, social reproduction, ecology, and migration. It offers new insights into the work conditions of global production chains and explores recent mobilizations of labour regime analysis in relation to methods, theory, and research practice.

A Queer Theory of the State

SAMUEL CLOWES HUNEKE

Queer theory has often been hesitant to align itself with a politics of the state, approaching it with a negative or pragmatic framework. A Queer Theory of the State offers a more optimistic perspective. Rather than eschew engagement with democratic theorizing, the historian Samuel Clowes Huneke asks how queer theory can wed its critically anti-normative impulses to the empirical need for a state. In answering this question, Huneke shows how the state is an integral component of a politics that seeks to subvert and undo the oppression of queer lives.

SAMUEL CLOWES HUNEKE is assistant professor of history at George Mason University. His first book, States of Liberation: Gay Men Between Dictatorship and Democracy in Cold War Germany (2022), won the Charles E. Smith Award for best book in European history from the European History Section of the Southern Historical Association. Huneke has written for Boston Review, the Washington Post, The Point, and the Los Angeles Review of Books

Raphaela Vogel Outside Form

MARIE-FRANCE RAFAEL AND RAPHAELA VOGEL

In the relationship between artistic genres and mediums—the temporality of video against the relative stasis of sculpture— there is an inherent tension. In this interview, Marie-France Rafael and the artist Raphaela Vogel ask: What is the relationship between form and time? How is time experienced in an installational space? And how can the limitations of specific forms be overcome? In their conversation, Rafael and Vogel contemplate the potential of putting artistic mediums in dialogue with one another, proffering a new vision of what form can achieve.

MARIE-FRANCE RAFAEL is a professor at the Zurich University of the Arts. Her interview book with French artist Brice Dellsperger, On Gender Performance (2019), and her monograph Passing Images: Art in the Post-Digital Age (2022) were both published by Floating Opera Press.

RAPHAELA VOGEL is a Berlin-based artist working primarily in video, installation, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited at, among other places, Kunsthalle Basel, Haus der Kunst in Munich, the Berlinische Galerie, and the 2022 Venice Biennale.

Empire in the Western Ocean Sea Power and the Early Ming Navy, 1355–1449

LO JUNG-PANG

Edited by Bruce A. Elleman; foreword by Richard J. Smith; afterword by Geoff Wade

“Lo was constantly on the lookout for precedents and large patterns of historical development over time and across space.”

—Richard J Smith, Rice University

In this groundbreaking posthumous study, the late Lo Jung-pang discusses the geographic, political, and commercial factors that led to the emergence of seapower and a navy under the Ming. While Zheng He and his seven expeditions have received some attention, few understand the long history of maritime engagement that provided the nautical and technical background for these voyages. Empire in the Western Ocean is the most comprehensive and insightful Englishlanguage treatment to date of the evolution and activities of the early Ming navy.

LO JUNG-PANG (1912–1981) was the premier Westernlanguage historian of China’s maritime history. He was professor of Chinese history at the University of California, Davis.

Everyday Architecture in Context

Public Markets in Hong Kong (1842–1981)

CARMEN C. M. TSUI

“A robust and in-depth study that contributes to a holistic understanding of everyday urbanism, public space, and the birth of modern architecture in Hong Kong.”

—Professor Ho Puay Peng, UNESCO Chair on Architectural Heritage Conservation and Management in Asia

How do public markets carry the weight of a city’s history? How do such everyday buildings reflect a city’s changing political, social, and economic needs? Integrating architecture and history, this book explores the growth and governance of colonial Hong Kong by tracing the past and present of public markets through a study of extensive firsthand historical materials. As readers witness the changes in Hong Kong markets—from hawker pitches to classical market halls to clean modernist municipal complexes—they also come to see markets as a microcosm of the city and a capsule of its history.

CARMEN C. M. TSUI is an architect and urban historian. She is an associate professor in the Department of History at Lingnan University, HKSAR.

Blurring Boundaries – ‘AntiGender’ Ideology Meets Feminist and LGBTIQ+ Discourses

DOROTHEE BECK, ADRIANO HABED, AND ANNETTE HENNINGER, EDITORS

“Gender” is a catch-all term: It is used in discourses on women’s and LGBTIQ+ rights, gender equality, sexual education, gender studies—and by the “anti-gender” movement. This book offers an analysis of the blurring boundaries between political positions known as “anti-gender” and feminist and LGBTIQ+ strands, starting from the hypothesis that there are discursive bridges between the camps that go beyond the exploitation of emancipatory attitudes. Instead, there are linkages that originate in mainstream feminist and LGBTIQ+ positions. The book sheds light on these linkages in order to make the case for the need for alliances and dialogues to more effectively counter crusades against women’s and LGBTIQ+ constituencies.

DOROTHEE BECK is a research associate at PhilippsUniversity Marburg, Germany.

ADRIANO HABED is a lecturer in gender and postcolonial studies at Utrecht University, Netherlands.

Media, History, and Education Three Ways to Ukrainian Independence

SERHIY KVIT

Preface by Diane Francis

This book comprises a collection of essays that shed light on some of the key issues that have emerged in independent Ukraine since the fall of the Soviet Union. Serhiy Kvit explores pivotal events such as the 1990 Student Revolution on Granite, the 2004 Orange Revolution, and the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity. The book examines the evolution of a robust civil society, the emergence of a Ukrainian nation, and the achievement of national unity. Kvit highlights the ongoing reevaluation of stereotypes surrounding the roots of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. These thoughtprovoking essays by one of Ukraine’s most prominent intellectuals will prove valuable not only to those with an interest in Ukraine but also to scholars across a range of disciplines.

Foreword by Paul D’Anieri

“The book highlights Ukrainian actors’ miscalculations and misperceptions of Russia’s willingness to engage in all-out war.”

—Olga Onuch, University of Manchester

This book investigates the making of Ukraine’s foreign policy toward the European Union and Russia between February 2014 and February 2015. Alina Nychyk lays out the history of the EU-Ukraine-Russia triangle since 1991 and extracts lessons relevant for the 2022 Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Looking at Ukraine’s side of the story, her analysis shows how Russian assertiveness, the EU’s passivity, and Ukrainian leaders’ limited crisis-management experience and erroneous policy decisions contributed to worse outcomes for Ukraine.

Ukraine: Putin’s War for Russia’s “Near Abroad”

How the War over Ukraine Reflects

Putin’s Broader Effort to Re-Establish Moscow’s Control over the Whole of What Was the USSR

JOHN J. MARESCA

The Ukrainian response to the 2022 Russian invasion has inspired a new appreciation for their country both within and beyond Ukraine. The stories presented here highlight the ways Ukrainians have explored the meaning of their country and culture through the arts and the manner in which the arts and their creators have empowered Ukrainians to confront the Russian invaders. These developments also offer intriguing hints about the culture, society, and politics of a postwar Ukraine.

Retired U.S. ambassador John J. Maresca draws on his personal papers to offer a firsthand account of his role in negotiating the end of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. As a special envoy, he symbolically opened direct U.S. diplomatic relations with each of the newly independent states from the former USSR following its dissolution. He recounts the situation in the region during that period and shows how it has evolved into the situation of today. Maresca analyzes Putin’s role and objectives and concludes that the United States and the West in general must steadfastly oppose Putin’s ongoing effort to reassemble Moscow’s control over the full geographic scope of what was once the USSR, starting with Ukraine.

JOHN J. MARESCA spent a career as an American diplomat and negotiator. He was the chef de cabinet for two NATO secretaries general and was a key figure in the negotiations over the Helsinki Commission.

Russian Political Warfare

The Causes

of the 2014 Outbreak of War in Ukraine’s Donbas

JAKOB HAUTER

Foreword by Hiroaki Kuromiya

“Brings much-needed transparency to an opaque but vital subject.”

—Ben Noble, University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies

The war in Ukraine did not start on February 24, 2022. It began eight years earlier in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. In this book, Jakob Hauter investigates the escalation of violence in the spring and summer of 2014. He demonstrates that, contrary to popular belief, the pre-2022 conflict was not a civil war. Ukraine has been fighting a Russian invasion since the armed conflict’s very beginning. Assessing the available evidence, Hauter reaches the conclusion that, in most cases, there is convincing evidence that Russian involvement was the primary cause of armed escalation.

JAKOB HAUTER received his PhD from University College

BOHDAN HARASYMIW

“An important contribution to the literature! There is a lot of interest in Ukraine, and the focus . . . on the past decade or so is so important.”

—Yasmeen Abu-Laban, University of Alberta

Ukraine is a misfit among postcommunist states, being neither a respectable, stable democracy nor an autocracy. Nor does it sit well as a patronal political system, like other post-Soviet regimes, since the Euromaidan Revolution. This study examines the presidencies of Petro Poroshenko and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, focusing on their common tendency to subordinate the legal system and use it as a political instrument. It also examines each president’s handling of relations—largely meaning war—with Russia, in the wake of the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and culminating in the invasion of 2022, as the key challenge to the nation’s survival.

BOHDAN HARASYMIW is professor emeritus of political science at the University of Calgary and the former coordinator of the Program on Contemporary Ukraine at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the University of Alberta.

Ukraine and Its Western Allies

Germany’s Failure and the Necessary Lessons for the Future

SABINE ADLER

Foreword by Andreas Umland

“Rarely do many years of local knowledge and familiarity with the history of the setting come together to such an extent as in Sabine Adler’s book. This is a long-overdue read!”

—Karl Schlögel, University of Konstanz and European University Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder

For decades, Germany overlooked Ukraine and courted Russia—with fatal consequences, as Sabine Adler demonstrates. Her analysis focuses not only on Ukraine and the current war but above all on Germany’s role—in economic, political, and media terms—in relation to Ukraine. As a long-standing and clear-sighted observer, she gives a critical assessment: Political omissions, lobbying, and double standards led Germany down the wrong path.

SABINE ADLER is a longtime Eastern Europe expert for the German radio station Deutschlandfunk. She reported from Moscow for many years and was head of the capital city studio in Berlin and correspondent in the Warsaw studio, focusing on Belarus, the Baltic countries, and Ukraine. During the Euromaidan events, she reported from Kyiv and afterward on the war in Eastern Ukraine.

Putin’s War, Russian Genocide Essays About the First Year of the War in Ukraine

PHILIP W. BLOOD, EDITOR

Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine quickly descended into a brutal slogging match of massacres. During the first year of the war, the contributors to this book challenged the orthodoxies of Western experts. Instead, they identified a chilling narrative of existential warfare and the struggle for survival. This book uncovers the extent of Putin’s violence, showing that the war comes from a powerful urge to destroy Ukraine.

Beckett’s Drama

Mis-Movements and the Aesthetics of Gesture

CHARLOTTA P. EINARSSON

Charlotta P. Einarsson takes a close look at the often peculiar, sometimes incongruous physical movements and gestures that characters perform in Samuel Beckett’s drama. Tracing Beckett’s aesthetics of gesture back to its phenomenological and embodied roots, she argues that the use of mis-movements is a methodological solution to the predicament of expression.

CHARLOTTA P. EINARSSON is a lecturer in English literature at Umeå University, Sweden. She is the author of A Theatre of Affect: The Corporeal Turn in Samuel Beckett’s Drama (2017).

Health as a Social System

Luhmann’s Theory Applied to Health Systems. An Introduction

JOÃO COSTA

Although it has become fashionable in the arena of international health to think about health systems, Niklas Luhmann’s vast and productive theory has been given too little consideration in the field. It is rich in concepts that can facilitate a fuller understanding of what health systems are. João Costa applies these concepts and shows the analytical possibilities they open up. He explains concisely how Luhmann’s social systems theory offers an integrated theoretical body as well as a consistent articulation of concepts that can lay the groundwork for vastly improved health systems thinking.

JOÃO COSTA is a public health specialist and health economist. He has around forty years of work experience in development projects aiming at strengthening health systems in several countries. Costa has worked with academic institutions, consultancy companies, international development banks, and international development agencies. Currently, he is an independent consultant.

The Allure of Digital Hate

LUKE MUNN

Hate is being reinvented. Over the last two decades, online platforms have been used to repackage racist, sexist, and xenophobic ideologies into new sociotechnical forms. Digital hate is ancient but novel, deploying the Internet to boost its allure and broaden its appeal. To understand the logic of hate, Luke Munn investigates four objects: 8chan, the cesspool of the Internet; QAnon, the popular metaconspiracy; Parler, a social media site; and Gab, the “platform for the people.” Drawing together powerful human stories with insights from media studies, psychology, political science, and race and cultural studies, he portrays how digital hate infiltrates hearts and minds.

LUKE MUNN is a research fellow in digital cultures and societies at the University of Queensland. He has written four books, published in highly regarded journals such as Cultural Politics and Big Data & Society, and has been referenced in popular forums like the Guardian and the Washington Post

The Social Evolution of World Politics

MATHIAS ALBERT, HAUKE BRUNKHORST, IVER B. NEUMANN, AND STEPHAN STETTER

How can we better understand long-term change in world politics? Based on readings of thinkers as varied as Habermas, Foucault, and Luhmann, the contributors to this volume propose a framework for understanding such change in terms of social evolution. They show that processes of social learning and unlearning are key to understanding the long-term historical evolution of complex societies. Four case studies illustrate this social-evolutionary perspective as applied to the study of world politics, examining the evolution of forms of organizing political authority, conflicts, diplomacy, and law as boundary condition.

Cosmos and Republic Arendtian Explorations of the Loss and Recovery of Politics

WOLFGANG R. HEUER

Inspired by Hannah Arendt’s analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang R. Heuer addresses exemplary aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics—and thus of freedom. He argues that politics can recover if it is based on personal responsibility in the political realm, in civil society, and even under dictatorial conditions if the pictorial and emotional conditions of successful judgment are understood; if human plurality is given its specific political organizational form; and, finally, if sustainability is understood as a principle of action, not only toward nature but also toward politics and society.

Breathing in Manhattan

Carola Speads - The German Jewish Gymnastics Instructor Who Brought Mindfulness to America

CHRISTOPH RIBBAT

In 1938 gymnastics instructor Carola Spitz escaped from Nazi Germany. In New York she turned into Carola Speads, revered teacher of mindfulness. She breathed with clients in her Central Park West studio until she was ninety-seven years old. Christoph Ribbat combines her gripping biography with the histories of modern bodywork and breathing experiments. He illuminates the tension between self-help fads and twentieth-century catastrophes. Accessible and quirky, Breathing in Manhattan speaks to experts and nonexperts alike: readers of Jewish history, students of New York City, and anyone attracted by—or skeptical of—the promises of mindfulness.

CHRISTOPH RIBBAT is a professor of American studies at Universität Paderborn (Germany). He was a Humboldt Fellow at MIT and Boston University and a Fulbright Scholar at the Cooper Union, New York. His work has been translated into fourteen languages.

Artistic Provenance Research

TAL ADLER AND SHARON MACDONALD, EDITORS

What can art and artists bring to researching the origins and biographies of objects? How do they shed new light on—or even unsettle—existing approaches to such questions? Coining the term “artistic provenance research,” the contributors to this innovative book illuminate art’s capacity to expand provenance research in critical and provocative ways. Artists, anthropologists, and curators offer perspectives on recent artwork that implicates human remains, potential histories, and the politics of visibility. Through theorizing historical and contemporary examples, contributors explore knowledge-imagination dynamics and the transformative potentials of artistic provenance research.

To the Last Drop Affective Economies of Extraction and Sentimentality

AXELLE GERMANAZ, DANIELA GUTIÉRREZ FUENTES, SARAH MARAK, AND HEIKE PAUL, EDITORS

The romance of extraction underlies and partly defines Western modernity and cultural imaginaries. Combining affect studies and environmental humanities, this volume analyzes societies’ devotion to extraction and fossil resources. The contributors examine the links between forms of extractivism and gendered discourses of sentimentality and the ways cultural narratives and practices deploy the sentimental mode (in plots of attachment, sacrifice, and suffering) to promote or challenge extractivism.

GLOBAL SENTIMENTALITY

The Slightest Attachment When Psychiatric Spaces Enact Affinities

ARIANE D’HOOP

Preface by Jeannette Pols

While the disciplinary architecture of hospitals has long prevailed in psychiatry, many care teams now work in smaller structures within communities. Ariane d’Hoop explores one of these places. Drawing on fieldwork in a psychiatric day center for teenagers, she traces how spatial arrangements matter in the care practice. From a corner in which one can withdraw to a kitchen that invites people to hang around or the display of artworks that pique curiosity, caregivers use the material environment to stir up the slightest affinity from teenagers. This study expands our idea of what attachment is and makes us more able to recognize the subtle dynamics among care, things, and spaces.

ARIANE D’HOOP trained as a stage designer, studied spatial arrangements in performing arts, and then completed a joint PhD in architecture (Université Libre de Bruxelles) and anthropology (University of Amsterdam).

Appropriating History

The Soviet Past in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian Popular Culture

MATTHIAS SCHWARTZ AND NINA WELLER, EDITORS

Popular media plays an important role in reconstructing collective imaginations of history. The contributors to this book use case studies from Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian popular cultures to show how the dramatic events and ruptures of the twentieth century now provide material for playful as well as neo-imperialist and nationalist appropriations of the past. They show how in mainstream films, TV series, novels, comics, and computer games, references to Soviet history provide role models or patterns of action—and even help justify current political and military developments.

Narrative in Urban Planning

A Practical Field Guide

LIEVEN AMEEL, JENS MARTIN GURR, AND BARBARA BUCHENAU

What do planners need to know in order to use narrative approaches responsibly in their practice? This practical field guide makes insights from narrative research accessible to planners through a glossary of key concepts in the field of narrative in planning. What makes narratives coherent, probable, persuasive, even necessary—but also potentially harmful, manipulative, and divisive? How can narratives help build more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive communities? The authors are literary scholars who have extensive experience in planning practice, training planning scholars and practitioners or advising municipalities on how to harness the power of stories in urban development.

Catalytic Mega-Events

Tokyo 2020 and Planetary Urban Transformation

FILIPPO BIGNAMI, CHRISTIAN DIMMER, EREZ GOLANI SOLOMON, DEVENA HAGGIS, AND NAOMI C. HANAKATA, EDITORS

Mega-events are accelerators of urban transformation with lasting consequences including amplifying social and political inequalities. During the spectacle, these crucial effects are often ignored, deliberately underestimated, or underreported. In this volume, authors from different geographies and disciplines reflect on mega-events at the intersection of culture, sports, planning, and politics. Starting from the case of Tokyo 2020, the contributors analyze the trajectories of urban transformation today from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.

Labor Turnover in Ethiopia’s Textile Industry A Hotspot of Social Transformation

MICHAELA FINK

The Ethiopian textile industry is particularly affected by high labor turnover. In this compelling social study, Michaela Fink investigates the causes of this issue, focusing primarily on the voices of the (female) workforce. She illustrates the tension between rural, community-based orientations of women workers and the industrial working environment in which they find themselves. For the women, it is often a balancing act between the rural world they come from and the urban consumerist world in which they live and work. They are attracted to modern values of career, consumption, and urbanity. At the same time, it is hardly possible for them to achieve even modest prosperity.

MICHAELA FINK is a research associate at the Institute of Sociology at Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen. She was a staff member of the research project on labor turnover and absenteeism in the Ethiopian textile industry.

Breathe Critical Research into the Inequalities of Life

SANDRA NOETH AND JANEZ JANSA, EDITORS

Breathing is an unavoidable, vital act. Yet it cannot be taken for granted, as the experiences of the pandemic, profound changes in our environment, and structural, racist discrimination make clear. In the physical act of breathing, we are symbolically, materially, and radically thrown back to our own bodies and connected to the bodies of others. In conversation with artists and theorists from different fields, the contributors to this volume explore different acts of suffocation and release. They show how the protection of bodies is unequally and ambivalently distributed and how breathing can be an act of resistance. It is an insistence on life, a demand for existential, political, symbolic, and ethical recognition.

Food - Media - Senses

Interdisciplinary Approaches

CHRISTINA BARTZ, JENS RUCHATZ, AND EVA WATTOLIK, EDITORS

Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation, and consumption comprise a multifold communicative practice that includes the meal’s design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging, or paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to understand the material and media-related aspects of eating, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, ethnology, food studies, cultural studies, and design studies share their approaches.

Transformations in Lives, Health Care and Medicine in the 19th Century American West

SIGRID SCHÖNFELDER

The American West was imagined as a place where anything was possible, especially for men. Sigrid Schönfelder draws on the life narratives of three healthcare providers to demonstrate that the West also catalyzed many transformations for women. Their stories show how women contributed to place-making in the West and served as role models for other women to enter the field of medicine.

The Wilhelmine World of a Colportage Novel

PETER S. FISHER

Attacked by government officials and educators, installment or colportage novels fascinated their underprivileged readers. Melodrama and sensation were essential ingredients. The hurriedly written, rambling plots sought to electrify women with new, turn-of-the-century aspirations. They also fused raw political ideas offering populist and paternalist solutions to social challenges and tensions. Through the study of one rare, surviving colportage novel, Peter S. Fisher offers an unusual mental and visual panorama of a vanished Wilhelmine world.

Polycentric Water Governance in Spain Understanding Determinants, Patterns, and Performance of Coordination

NORA SCHÜTZE

Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years, but the goal of reducing agricultural water consumption has not been met. Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive, identifying multiple mechanisms that illustrate why its environmental aims remain unachieved.

NORA SCHÜTZE is a research associate at University of Kassel, where she also completed her PhD dissertation.

Thinking Like a River An Anthropology of Water and Its Uses

Along the Kemi River, Northern Finland

FRANZ KRAUSE

The Kemi River is the major watercourse in the Finnish province of Lapland and the “stream of life” for the inhabitants of its banks. Franz Krause examines fishing, transport, and hydropower on the Kemi River and analyzes the patterns of the river dwellers’ activities and the river’s dynamics. The course of the seasons, weekly and daily rhythms, the flows of life, and the frictions of everyday encounters continually remake the river and its inhabitants.

FRANZ KRAUSE is a junior research group leader in the Department of Anthropology of Universität Köln, Germany. He worked on postdoctoral projects at the Countryside and Community Research Institute and Tallinn University.

Resonant Fabrics Listening to Urban Worlds

MARVIN HEINE

Soundscapes profoundly connect listeners to the places they inhabit and thereby reveal the vibrant and resonant fabrics that lie beneath the delineated spaces of visual representation.

Marvin Heine explores and celebrates the many-layered and ambiguously undulating sense- and soundscapes as they shape and are shaped by urban cultures and particular ways of listening. He embraces, in a stylistically embodied and often poetic manner, the sonic urban world in all its fragile, ephemeral, yet deeply affective sonority.

MARVIN HEINE is an environmental sociologist deeply interested in the senses, their phenomenology, mediations, and politics.

The Mediatization of the O.J. Simpson Case From Reality Television to Filmic Adaptation

TATJANA NEUBAUER

In the 1990s, the media and public developed an unprecedented obsession with the story of O.J. Simpson, turning a murder investigation and trial into a sensationalized reality show. Tatjana Neubauer examines the mediatization, deliberate manipulation, and simplification of popular criminal trials for profit on television. She demonstrates that TV conflated legal proceedings into entertainment programming by commodifying events, people, and places.

TATJANA NEUBAUER received her PhD from Johannes GutenbergUniversität Mainz, Germersheim Campus, in 2021.

Architecture in Times of Multiple Crises

Everyday Utopianisms of Care and Radical Spatial Practices

CAROLINA CRIJNS

Preface by Sabine Knierbein

Architecture is often presented as a solution to social problems. How is architecture linked to the pursuit of a good life? Carolina Crijns explores the transformative potential of radically rethinking architecture’s central concepts and introduces a method of utopian speculation for practices that aspire toward social change.

CAROLINA CRIJNS studied architecture at Technische Universität Wien and now researches urban transformation processes in Berlin.

Identity, Power, and Prestige in Switzerland’s Multilingual Education

ANNA BECKER

Switzerland is known for its multilingualism, yet not all languages are represented equally in society. This study investigates how schools in Grisons, Fribourg, and Zurich negotiate neoliberal forces leading to the growing necessity of English, a romanticized view of national languages, and the social justice perspective of institutionalizing heritage languages. It uncovers power and legitimacy issues and showcases students’ and teachers’ complex identities to advocate equitable multilingual education.
