DescriptionIn a world where change has become the only constant, how does the perpetually new relate to the old? How does cinema, itself once a new medium, relate both to previous or outmoded media and to what we now refer to as New Media?

This collection sets out to examine these questions by focusing on the relations of cinema to other media, cultural productions and diverse forms of entertainment, demarcating their sometimes parallel and sometimes more closely conjoined histories. Cinematicity in Media History makes visible the complex ways in which media anticipate, interfere with and draw on one other, demonstrating how cinematicity makes itself felt in practices of seeing, reading, writing and thinking both before and after the ‘birth’ of cinema.

The examination of the interrelations between cinema, literature, photography and other modes of representation, not only to each other but amid a host of other minor and major media – the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the flick-book, the iPhone and the computer – provides crucial insights into the development of media and their overlapping technologies and aesthetics. Cinematicity in Media History is therefore an essential resource for students and scholars in Film and Media Studies.

Studying Modern Arabic LiteratureMustafa Badawi, Scholar and Critic

Edited by Roger Allen and Robin Ostle

The EditorsRoger Allen retired in 2011 from his position as the Sascha Jane Patterson Harvie Professor of Social Thought and Comparative Ethics in the School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. He was Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature in the Department of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations.

DescriptionPrior to the 1960s the study of Arabic literature, both Classical and Modern, had barely been emancipated from the academic approaches of Orientalism. The appointment of Mustafa Badawi as Oxford University's first Lecturer in Modern Arabic Literature changed the face of this subject as Badawi showed, through his teaching and research that Arabic literature was making vibrant contributions to global culture and thought. Part biography, part collection of critical essays, this volume celebrates Badawi's immense contribution to the field and explores his role as a public intellectual in the Arab world and the west.

The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in EnglishThe Politics of Anglo Arab and Arab American Literature and Culture

Edited by Nouri Gana

The EditorNouri Gana is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature & Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA.

April 2015Pb • 978 0 7486 8554 7 • £24.99 BIC: DSB, DSK, HRH

DescriptionThe novel is a largely imported European genre, coming relatively late to the history of Arab letters. It should therefore perhaps come as no surprise that the first novel to have been written by an Arab was written in English (Ameen Rihani’s The Book of Khalid, 1911). However, subsequent years saw the flourishing of, first, Arabic novels, then the Francophone Arab novel. Only in the last two decades has the Anglophone Arab novel experienced a second coming, and it is this re-emergence of literary activity that is the focus of this collection.

Opening up the field of diasporic Anglo Arab literature to critical debate, the Companion presents a range of critical responses and pedagogical approaches to the Anglo Arab novel. It offers both classroom-friendly essays and critically sophisticated analyses, bringing together original critical studies of the major Anglo Arab novelists from established and emerging scholars in the field.

Textbook

DescriptionAimed at advanced students, this book discusses a number of approaches to charting the major developments in the syntax of English. It does not assume any knowledge of Old or Middle English or of formal syntax, although students should be familiar with traditional syntactic concepts such as verbs and nouns, subjects and objects, and linguistic concepts such as morphology and case. Bettelou Los draws on explanations from both formal and functional approaches to explore how syntactic changes are the product of the interaction of many internal and external factors.

Rudyard Kipling's FictionMapping Psychic Spaces

Lizzy Welby

The AuthorLizzy Welby teaches at the College Fançais Bilingue de Londres, London.

April 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 9855 4 • £70.00 BIC: DSBH, DSK

DescriptionThis study provides an entirely new reading of Kipling's fiction using the feminist psychoanalytic methodology of Julia Kristeva and Hélène Cixous, focusing particularly on ideas of the abjected maternal feminine. It examines Kipling's ambivalent relationship to the India of his childhood and the 'loss' of his mother figures. In doing so, it peels back the layers of masculine bravado that continues to characterize Kipling’s fiction to reveal a valorized ‘feminine’ space. From readings of the 1888 story 'Baa Baa, Black Sheep' through The Jungle Book and Stalky & Co., Kim, The Day's Work, Puck of Pook's Hill and Rewards and Fairies, Lizzy Welby demonstrates that Kipling created ways of rediscovering a symbolised feminine landscape as a restorative space, which was part of his 'psychic mapping'.

DescriptionThis cornucopia of words and definitions intervenes at crucial points of tension across the entire range of Derrida’s publications, including those published posthumously. It offers sustained expository engagement with a series of 67 key words – from Aporia to Yes – having significance throughout Derrida’s thought and writing. Touching on the literary, as well as on political, aesthetic, phenomenological and psychoanalytic discourses, and tracing how Derrida’s own practice of close reading shadows faithfully the texts he reads before producing a breaking point in the logical limits of a given text, each word, the essays illustrate, is not a final word. Instead, each shows itself, through close reading that places the terms, figures, tropes, and motifs in their broader contexts, to be a gateway, opening on to innumerable, interconnected concerns that inform the work of Jacques Derrida.

A glossary of words associated with Jacques Derrida accommodating the far-reaching implications of his work

Virginia Woolf and the Materiality of TheorySex, Animal, Life

Derek Ryan

The AuthorDerek Ryan is Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Exeter.

April 2015Pb • 978 1 4744 0234 7 • £24.99 BIC: DSA, DSB

DescriptionHow does Virginia Woolf conceptualise the material world? In what ways has Woolf’s modernism affected understandings of materiality, and what new perspectives does she offer contemporary theoretical debates? Derek Ryan demonstrates how materiality is theorised in Woolf’s writings by focusing on the connections she makes between culture and nature, embodiment and environment, human and nonhuman, life and matter. Through close readings of texts including To the Lighthouse, Orlando, A Room of One’s Own, The Waves, Flush, and ‘Sketch of the Past’, he details the fresh insights Woolf provides into issues concerning the natural world, sexual difference, sexuality, animality, and life itself.

Ryan opens up Woolf studies to new theoretical paradigms by placing Woolf in dialogue with Gilles Deleuze – who cites her modernist aesthetics as exemplary of some of his most important philosophical concepts – as well as eminent contemporary theorists including Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, and Jane Bennett, all of whom have influenced the recent critical turn towards new materialisms. Locating theory within Woolf’s writing as well as locating Woolf within theory, Virginia Woolf and the Materiality of Theory: Sex, Animal, Life brings her modernism firmly into to the foreground of current debates in literary studies, feminist philosophy, queer theory, animal studies and posthumanities.

Explores Woolf's writing alongside Deleuzian philosophy and new materialist theories of sexuality, animality, and posthuman life

The UnexpectedNarrative Temporality and the Philosophy of Surprise

Mark Currie

The AuthorMark Currie is Professor of Contemporary Literature at Queen Mary, University of London.

April 2015Pb • 978 1 4744 0235 4 • £24.99 BIC: DSA, DSB

DescriptionFocusing on surprise, spontaneous eruption and the unforeseeable, The Unexpected argues that stories help us to reconcile what we expect with what we experience. Though narrative is often understood a recapitulation of past events, the book argues that the unexpected and the future anterior, a future that is already complete, are guiding ideas for new understandings of the reading process. It also points beyond that to some of the key temporal concepts of our epoch, of unpredictability, the event, the untimely and the messianic.

The Unexpected is an important intervention in narratology and a striking general argument about the cultural significance of surprise. The enquiry is developed by a range of new readings in philosophy and theory, as well as of Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Julian Barnes’s The Sense of an Ending.

Explores the relationship between unexpected events in narrative and life

Dickens's LondonPerception, Subjectivity and Phenomenal Urban Multiplicity

Julian Wolfreys

The AuthorJulian Wolfreys is Professor of English Literature at the University of Portsmouth, where he is also Director of the Centre for Studies in LIterature.

April 2015Pb • 978 1 4744 0238 5 • £19.99 BIC: DSK

DescriptionTaking Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project as an inspiration, Dickens's London offers an exciting and original project that opens a dialogue between phenomenology, philosophy and the Dickensian representation of the city in all its forms. Julian Wolfreys suggests that in their representations of London – its streets, buildings, public institutions, domestic residences, rooms and phenomena that constitute such space – Dickens's novels and journalism can be seen as forerunners of urban and material phenomenology. While also addressing those aspects of the urban that are developed from Dickens's interpretations of other literary forms, styles and genres, Dickens's London presents in 26 episodes (from Banking and Breakfast via the Insolvent Court, Melancholy and Poverty, to Todgers and Time, Voice and Waking) a radical reorientation to London in the nineteenth century, the development of Dickens as a writer, and the ways in which readers today receive and perceive both.

Literature of the 1940s: War, Postwar and 'Peace'Volume 5

Gill Plain

The AuthorGill Plain is Professor of English at the University of St Andrews.

April 2015Pb • 978 0 7486 2745 5 • £24.99 BIC: D

DescriptionThis study focuses on the thematic preoccupations that emerged from writers’ immersion in and resistance to the Second World War. Through 7 chapters – Documenting, Desiring, Killing, Escaping, Grieving, Adjusting and Atomizing – the book sets middlebrow and popular writers alongside residual modernists and new voices to reconstruct the literary landscape of the period, arguing that the postwar is a concept that emerges almost simultaneously with the war itself, and that ‘peace’ is significant only by its absence in an emergent post-Atomic cold war era.

Literature of the 1920s: Writers Among the RuinsVolume 3

Chris Baldick

The AuthorChris Baldick is Professor of English at Goldsmiths, University of London.

April 2015Pb • 978 0 7486 2731 8 • £24.99 BIC: D

DescriptionThe 1920s emerge in this study as a period with its own distinctive historical awareness and creative agenda, one in which Modernist, non-Modernist and semi-Modernist writers met on shared ground with common memories and preoccupations.

Spanning genres high and low, including war memoirs, critical essays and detective stories as well as drama, poetry and the novel, Chris Baldick’s approachable study of the decade sets out a ‘map’ of the new post-Great-War literary landscape with its unique configuration of genres, settings and character-types. Successive chapters investigate the place of ideas (biological, Freudian, esoteric, and more) in literature; the uses of anachronism and the time-sense of the Twenties; re-shapings of war-memory and war myth into varieties of Twenties ‘disillusionment’; and curious connections between crime-writing and comedy in the period. This account moves easily between experimental and more ‘traditional’ literary tendencies of the decade to discover common obsessions and shared moods of elegiac despair, nervous frivolity and bold irreverence.

DescriptionWe are told that we live in a ‘post-ideological’ era; that we have moved ‘beyond Left and Right’; and that we are ‘all in it together’. Democracy has been reduced to the consensual administration of economic necessity. How can we make sense of this form of depoliticisation? How does it manifest itself in different spheres of social life? And in what ways is it being challenged or subverted?

Contributors to this volume respond to these questions through a wide-ranging critical engagement with the concept of the post-political developed by Chantal Mouffe, Jacques Rancière, Slavoj Žižek, Alain Badiou and others.

A theoretical and practical interrogation of how the post-political has come to dominate governance

limits, its internal tensions, and the possibility of creative syntheses with other approaches

• Critically engages with multiple cases of contemporary depoliticization, such as multiculturalism, philanthropy, participatory development sustainability planning and the regulation of biotechnology, among others

• Assesses the emancipatory potential of anti-austerity protests, the Occupy movement and other political struggles in the context of continuing processes of post-politicisation

Agamben and the Politics of Human RightsStatelessness, Images, Violence

The AuthorsJohn Lechte is Professor in Sociology at Macquarie University, Sydney.

DescriptionWe are living in world in which human rights are violated on an unprecedented scale, often by the states who claim to protect them. According to Giorgio Agamben, this is no coincidence: he argues that human rights are actually a sign of our growing powerlessness and political alienation.

Taking Agamben's critique as their starting point, Lechte and Newman explore questions of statelessness, exclusion, the violence of securitisation and the visual representation of refugees and illegal migrants in the media. They propose a radical rethinking of human rights: as disengaged from humanitarianism, biopolitics, sovereignty and the society of the spectacle; as becoming genuinely political.

Can human rights protect the stateless? Or are they permanently excluded from politics?

The Crisis of Social Democracy in EuropeEdited by Michael Keating and David McCrone

The EditorsMichael Keating is Professor of Politics at the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh.

DescriptionSocial democracy is in office almost nowhere in Europe and seems to be out of ideas in the face of the economic crisis that might have given it a historic opportunity. While accepting the truth of this, This volume takes a stand again those who claim that social democracy is dead. By arguing that social democracy is not a single set of ideas or practices but a way of reconciling market capitalism with social inclusion and equality, the contributors show that it has actually been remarkably successful during the 20th century. Its key principles are still relevant but must be adapted to new conditions.

In this book, Keating and McCrone examine the fortunes of social democracy in western and east-central Europe and the policy challenges in economic policy, labour markets, social welfare, public services, integration and decentralisation.

Is social democracy in a terminal condition in Europe?

Kingship and UnityScotland 1000–1306

G. W. S. Barrow

The AuthorG. W. S. Barrow was perhaps Scotland's most valued and cited of medieval historians of the late 20th century. He was Sir William Fraser Professor of Scottish History and Palaeography at the University of Edinburgh, 1979–92.

DescriptionThis is a history of the forging of the Scottish kingdom during the first three centuries of the second millennium. In AD 1000 the Scottish kings had embarked on the annexation of English-speaking Lothian and of Cumbric-speaking Clydesdale, Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire. The country’s enlargement continued under a line of remarkably able kings with the inclusion first of the highlands and then, after the defeat of the Norwegians in 1263, of the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides. How Scotland’s landscape influenced its people and conditioned its outlook on the world is a theme running throughout the book.

G. W. S. Barrow describes the evolution of Scottish kingship and government during the period, in the process examining the character of Scottish feudalism and the manner of its imposition. He discusses the social, economic and political changes of the period, with separate chapters on the expansion of towns and trade, the role of the church, and advances in education and learning. A sense of national identity had, he argues, become sufficiently strong by the end of the 13th century for the country to survive humiliation by Edward I and to reunite under Robert Bruce. With Bruce’s coronation as Robert I in 1306 this richly detailed and readable account of Scotland’s formative period comes to an end.

Since its first edition in 1981, this revised edition in The New History of Scotland series, as indicated in the preface by the series editor Jenny Wormald, can now rightly take its place amongst the classics of Scottish history.
