PHILOSOPHY

Mistress Ethics

On the Virtues of Sexual Kindness

Victoria Brooks A controversial exploration of contemporary sexual ethics through the lens of the mistress, arguing for a new ethics of kindness and inclusion. The figure of the mistress is undoubtedly controversial, conventionally depicted as a temptress, whose sexuality is considered defective and toxic. This book subverts these traditional judgements offering an unflinching look at the lived experience of the mistress and recasts her as a potentially loving, intimate and free ‘other’ woman. Drawing upon feminist philosophy, contemporary sexual ethics and the current cultural moment of #MeToo, Mistress Ethics moves beyond a narrative of infidelity, conventional judgment, the safeguarding of monogamy and conventional heterosex that permeates our society. It asks what happens when we opt, instead, for an ethics of kindness. This kindness will teach us new ways of thinking about ethics and sex, and reveal how we can be better to each other. Victoria Brooks is Senior Lecturer in Law at University of Westminster, UK. January 2022 200 pages 216 x 138mm 9781350195738 Bloomsbury Academic

The Digital Pandemic Imagination in Times of Isolation

João Pedro Cachopo Reframes the philosophical and political discussion of the pandemic in terms of the accelerated digital revolution. A refreshing approach to the dominance of technology in our contemporary lives, The Digital Pandemic, translated from Portuguese, poses fundamental questions about love, connectedness, proximity, and consciousness. The transformation of human experience during 2020 creates a break in our sociality that João Pedro Cachopo pinpoints through key themes of love, travel, study, community, and art. In contrast to the growing philosophical literature on the pandemic, this bold theoretical work does not prophesy the fall of capitalism or the end of personal freedom and relationships. João Pedro Cachopo teaches Musicology and Philosophy at the New University of Lisbon.

Thinking Through Loneliness Diane Enns Explores loneliness as an ambiguous state that needs to be recognised as a political issue as much as a personal one. By reflecting on the experience of loneliness through the author's own life, the narratives of others and analyses from Arendt to Berardi, Thinking Through Loneliness explores the ambiguities of being alone. It seeks to defy the reductionist tendencies of the current loneliness experts, looking beyond loneliness as a collective health crisis to consider what it tells us about our great need for one another and what happens when we fail to meet this need. Diane Enns argues it is crucial to recognise the structural conditions—economic, political, institutional, and technological—that give rise to the isolation that produces loneliness. Only then can we work to undermine these conditions, preserving all that is best about human social life. Diane Enns is Professor of Philosophy at Ryerson University, Canada.

Perfume

Recipe

Trench Coat

Megan Volpert

Lynn Z. Bloom

Jane Tynan

Our sense of smell is crucial to our survival. We can smell fear, disease, and food. Fragrance is also entertainment. We can smell an expensive bottle of perfume at a high-end department store. Perhaps it reminds us of someone. A memory in a bottle is a powerful thing. Megan Volpert carefully balances the artistry with the science of perfume.

Reveals the surprising lessons that recipes teach—in hospitality, friendship, community, family and ethnic heritage, tradition, nutrition, survival, seduction, love, and more. A recipe is a signature, as individual as the cook’s fingerprint; a passport to travel the world without leaving the kitchen; a lifeline for people in hunger and in want; and always a means to expand one’s worldview, if not waistline.

We all know what a trench coat is but where does it comes from? This book explores the trench coat’s role in the modern imagination. A product of science and technology, the trench coat quickly took on a tough and seductive image blending easily into literature, music, film and fashion to become the uniform of some of the most attractive and enigmatic characters of the modern world.

Glitter

Nicole Seymour

Michelle McSweeney

Revealing the complexity of an object often dismissed as frivolous, Nicole Seymour describes how glitter’s consumption and status have shifted across centuries—from ancient cosmetic to queer activist tool, environmental pollutant to biodegradable accessory—along with its composition, which has variously included insects, glass, rocks, salt, sugar, plastic, and cellulose. Seymour shows how glitter reflects the entanglements of consumerism, emotion, environmentalism, and gender/sexual identity.

"OK" as a word accepts proposals, describes the world as satisfactory (but not good), provides conversational momentum, or even agrees (or disagrees). OK as an object, however, tells a story of how technology writes itself into language, permanently altering communication. Drawing on linguistics, history, and new media studies, Michelle McSweeney traces OK from its birth in the Penny Presses through telephone lines, grammar books, and television signals into the digital age.

Warning Signs

The Semiotics of Danger

Marcel Danesi Explores how the language of danger and its visual symbolism has imparted warnings of hazard, risk and peril across history, from ancient Egyptian tombs to nuclear waste. Warning signs are all around us. This book examines and evaluates the kinds of signs, symbols, narratives, and other semiotic strategies humans have used across time to communicate the sense of danger. From Paleolithic cave art and ancient monuments to the dangers of nuclear waste, carbon emissions, and other pollution, Marcel Danesi explores how danger has been encoded in language, discourse, and symbolism. He puts forward a plan for a more effective 'semiotising' of risk and peril, calling on linguists, semioticians, and agencies to work together to more clearly communicate vitally important warnings about the dangers we've left behind.

POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The Politics of Everybody

Feminism, Queer Theory, and Marxism at the Intersection: A Revised Edition

Holly Lewis Critiques queer and feminist theory from a theoretical and global political/activist position. Holly Lewis examines the production and maintenance of the terms 'man', 'woman', and 'other' within the current political moment; the contradictions of these categories; and the prospects of a Marxist approach to praxis for queer bodies. In a new preface, she discusses the argument for an explicitly Marxist understanding of trans rights – an understanding grounded in solidarity and materialist/scientific queer analysis. The book discusses the new wave of Marxist Social Reproduction Theory that has emerged since its first edition, family abolition, and the complexities of building an internationalist Marxist movement that is in solidarity with queer and trans struggles, attentive to women’s realities, and one that refrains from imposing Western definitions (particularly American/Anglo definitions) onto global movements for liberation. Constituting a paradigm shift in gender theory, this book argues that only a materialist queer theory wedded to the realities of capitalism is capable of creating a true politics of liberation.

Jorge Pontes and Márcio Anselmo A thrilling and absorbing insider's account of the involvement of Brazil's public power in corruption schemes. This is the inside story of two Brazilian Federal Police officers who found themselves at the centre of the biggest corruption scandal in history; uncovering a web of political and corporate racketeering which would lead them all the way to the arrest and imprisonment of the nation’s president.

Feeling Dis-ease in Modern History Experiencing Medicine and Illness

Edited by Rob Boddice and Bettina Hitzer An exploration into the emotional and sensory experience of illness in modern history. Encompassing the emotional and sensory disruptions that attend disease, injury, mental illness or trauma, this book provides an account of how medical practitioners, experts, lay authorities and the public have felt about such disruptions.

The Origin of Sin

Greece and Rome, Early Judaism and Christianity

David Konstan Traces the vocabulary around 'sin' in classical and biblical texts, to argue for a new definition that was superseded by the later Christian traditions. Taking a close look at the religious texts of Classical antiquity and the Bible, this book reveals the original meaning for 'sin' that was changed in later Christian interpretations. Through close philological examination of the words for 'sin' in these texts, it traces their usage over the centuries in four chapters showing that the usual modern definition of sin has closer links to Graeco-Roman ideas of (pagan) religious violations than to that found in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. David Konstan is Professor of Classics at New York University, USA.

EDUCATION

Pedagogy of Resistance Against Manufactured Ignorance

Henry A. Giroux Argues that education has assumed a crucial role in shaping politics in today’s divisive society. At a time when ignorance, lies and fake news have empowered right-wing groups and created deep divisions in society, Henry A. Giroux argues that education holds a crucial role in shaping politics. Education, with its increasingly corporate and conservative-based technologies, is partly responsible for creating these divisions and contributes to the pitting of people against each other through the lens of class, race, and any other differences that don't embrace white nationalism. Giroux’s analysis explores the current climate, covering a range of issues including the Covid-19 pandemic, Trumpism, American fascism, and exploring Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of Hope in these dark times. Henry A. Giroux holds the Chair for Scholarship in the Public Interest in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, Canada.

Seven Samurai

The Godfather

Joan Mellen

Jon Lewis

D. A. Miller

This study of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (1954) treats it both as a portrayal of the cultural upheaval brought on by the collapse of Japanese militarism in the 16th century, and as a reflection of the sweeping cultural changes occurring in the aftermath of the American Occupation that followed Japan's defeat in the Second World War. Mellen contextualises Seven Samurai, marking its place in Japanese cinema and in Kurosawa’s filmmaking career. She explores the film’s roots in medieval history and, above all, the astonishing visual language in which Kurosawa created his elegiac epic.

Examines The Godfather (1972)’s audacious visual style and its principal themes: Vito and Michael's attempt to balance the obligations of business and family, their struggle with assimilation, the temptations and pitfalls of capitalist accumulation, and the larger drama of succession from father to son, from one generation to the next. Lewis uncovers the film's real-life gangster backstory, placing it in the context of Hollywood's dramatic box-office turnaround in the early 1970s, and revealing how The Godfather saved Paramount Studios and the rest of Hollywood.

Federico Fellini's masterpiece shocked audiences around the world upon its release in 1963, by its sheer auteurist gall. The hero, Guido Anselmi, seemed to be Fellini's mirror image, and the story to reflect the making of 8 1/2 itself. D.A. Miller argues that we can now see more clearly how tentative, even timid, Fellini's ground-breaking incarnation always was. The enduring timeliness of 8 1/2 lies, Miller suggests, in its aggressive shirking of the shame that falls on the man – and the artist – who fails his appointed social responsibilities.

The Destruction and Creation of Michael Jackson Ellis Cashmore The first study to examine Michael Jackson’s career through the prisms of American racial politics and celebrity culture. However people remember Michael Jackson, no one can deny that, in cultural terms, he remains a compelling subject. An icon of the late 20th century, he reflects not only the changes in the circumstances of the African American population, but changes in white America. Jackson was idolised, perhaps even objectified into an extraordinary being for whom there were no established reference points in whites’ conceptions. This book posits that Jackson was a creation of, at first, American and, later, global culture at a time when it seemed desirable, if not necessary to exalt a Black person on merit. America had become a society in which someone of Jackson’s indisputable genius not only can, but must, rise to the top. Ellis Cashmore has held positions in sociology at the universities of Hong Kong and Tampa, USA and is currently an honorary professor at Aston University, UK.

Romy Schneider A Star Across Europe

Marion Hallet “Blends sociohistorical context, extra-cinematic materials and close readings of key films to astutely evaluate the impact and legacy of Romy Schneider across European cinema and celebrity culture.” – Felicity Chaplin, Monash University, Australia Marion Hallet explores the star image of Austrian born actress Romy Schneider (1938-1982). Her evolving role – sweet Viennese girl, Parisienne, ‘modern’ and ‘tragic’ woman – together with her acting choices and events in her private life, led her career into varied and fascinating directions within European and Hollywood cinemas. Romy Schneider shows how the representations of women stemming from Schneider’s star image supported specific and shifting cultural and social agendas regarding femininity, from the 1950s to the 1980s. This book examines the significance of Schneider’s image both when she was working and since, within Western European film culture and celebrity culture.

Alfred Hitchcock Filmmaker and Philosopher

Mark William Roche An exploration of the genre-changing work of Alfred Hitchcock and its interweaving with philosophical issues and topics. Hitchcock was a masterful director, critically acclaimed both during and after his long career. What may have been sensed by many viewers but not fully articulated until now is the extent to which his works subtly engage philosophical themes: What is evil, and how does it shield and reveal itself? What is at stake when one knows the truth but cannot speak of it? Roche unlocks Hitchcock’s engagement with philosophical issues, and does so in a way that appeals to the novice and the seasoned philosopher, as well as enthusiastic admirers of Hitchcock’s films. Mark W. Roche is Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C. Professor of German Language and Literature and Concurrent Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame, USA.

Luchino Visconti Filmmaker and Philosopher

Joan Ramon Resina The first book to fully explore the philosophical aspects and implications of Visconti's ouevre and celebrate him as a truly philosophical filmmaker. Famous for his elegant lifestyle, Visconti’s vibrant technicolour dramas are also known for their decadence and stunning display of aesthetic mastery and sensory pleasure. Looking beyond this colourful façade, however, Resina explores the philosophical implications of decadence with a particular focus on Damned (1969), Death in Venice (1971), and Ludwig (1972). From the incestuous relationship between decadence and power to decadence as an outcome of straining toward formal perfection, Resina uncovers the unity and philosophical cohesiveness of these films that deal with different subjects and historical periods. Joan Ramon Resina is Professor of Iberian and Latin American Cultures and Comparative Literature, Stanford University, USA.

Male and Female Violence in Popular Media Elisa Giomi and Sveva Magaraggia Examines the complex relationship between gender and violence. Proposes that men engage in violent conduct at a significantly higher rate than women because they are socially and culturally ‘programmed’ to do so, through popular culture representations. TV series, films, pop music and videos, advertising commercials and tabloids generally normalise violence against women as an allegedly natural inclination of males. By examining popular culture’s depiction of men and women in their opposite, yet complementary, roles of perpetrators and victims, the book demonstrates unexplored interconnections, namely that gender ‘does’ violence and violence ‘does’ gender. Elisa Giomi is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, Communication and Performing Arts at Roma Tre University, Italy. Sveva Magaraggia is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Sciences at the University of MilanBicocca, Italy.

My Character Wouldn’t Do That

Acting, Cognitive Science and the Optimal Performance Brain

Donna Soto-Morettini The first book to practically apply modern thought on cognitive science to acting.

February 2022 • 30 mono illus 176 pages • 216 x 138mm 9781350230347 Methuen Drama

A rethinking of acting theory entirely in terms of what cognitive science and cognitive psychology have discovered about human behaviour and thinking over the last decades. Starting from the idea that the main hindrance to a great acting performance is self-consciousness on the part of the performer, the book examines the ways in which some of our traditional and contemporary approaches to acting put us into a ‘mind space’ that can encourage self-consciousness. It includes step-by-step guidance with exercises to help actors develop the skills needed to implement theory into practice. Donna Soto-Morettini has served as Director of Drama for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Head of Acting and Dance for Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, and Head of Acting at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UK.

Blackstar Theory

The Last Works of David Bowie

Leah Kardos Explores Bowie’s last works and the album that preceded his death in 2016. Takes a close look at David Bowie’s ambitious last works: his surprise ‘comeback’ project The Next Day (2013), the offBroadway musical Lazarus (2015) and the album that preceded the artist’s death in 2016 by two days, Blackstar. The book analyses the words, images, music and sounds of Bowie’s final works, critically appraising it as death art that leverages its power from the artist’s demise. With Lazarus and Black Star, Bowie assembles an existentialist framework for immortality that echoes David Bowman’s journey through the Star Gate in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). In Bowie’s version, the transformation comes through death’s gateway; ascension to a new state of universal being. Leah Kardos is a senior lecturer in Music at Kingston University London, UK, where she co-founded the Visconti Studio with music producer Tony Visconti.

One-Hit Wonders

An Oblique History of Popular Music

Edited by Sarah Hill A chronicle of changing popular music styles and tastes as exemplified by "one-hit wonders" – focusing on the mainstream, on common musical currency, and on the often maligned. The one-hit wonder has a long and storied history in popular music, exhorting listeners to dance, to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, to ponder mortality, to get a job, to bask in the sunshine, or just to get up and dance again. Catchy, memorable, irritating, or simply ubiquitous, one-hit wonders capture something of the mood of a time. This collection provides a series of short, sharp chapters focusing on one-hit wonders from the 1950s to the present day, examining both the mechanics of success and the socio-musical contexts within which such songs became hits. Together, the chapters provide not only a capsule history of popular music tastes, but also ruminations on the changing nature of the music industry and the mechanics of fame.

Urban Roar

A Psychophysical Approach to the Design of Affective Environments

Jordan Lacey Offers new insights, tools, and methodologies for the design of urban environments in relationship to noise and sound. Urban Roar argues for the existence of ‘autonomous affectivities’ that roar beneath the din of the urban, seeking the attention of us humans so captured by the environments of our own making. In hearing the urban roar, it is the mythic intention of this book to discover ways in which we can work with the intensities of more-than-human forces to vitalise our cities. The book explores methods by which artists, particularly those sound artists involved in fieldwork practices, might encounter and translate autonomous affectivities between different environments. Offering concrete and useful realworld examples, it outlines a methodology for the creation of environments that revitalise and renew a sense of emotional wellbeing and interconnectedness within hectic urban environments.

Notes from the Crawl Room A.M. Moskovitz

Uncovering the spiritual traditions that lie behind Leonard Cohen's profound and unmistakable lyrics, this book explores the sources he drew upon, discusses their original context, and the stories and ideas behind them. It gives us an insight into the soul and imagination of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time. This is not a biography, but a biographical narrative is woven into the treatment of each song or theme.

Employing the lens and methods of horror writing to critique the excesses and absurdities of philosophy, each story in this collection reveals disastrous and de-humanising effects of philosophies that are separated from real, lived experience. Offering often humourous critiques of philosophy, these works are also pieces of philosophy themselves. From a Kafkaesque exploration of administrative absurdities to discursive violence, white supremacy and the living spectres of patriarchy, A.M. Moskovitz doesn't shy away from addressing the complex aspects of our lives. December 2021 • 192 pages 216 x 138mm • 9781350191884 Bloomsbury Academic

Whatever Happened to Taliban The Power of Militant Islam in Tradition? Afghanistan and Beyond History, Belonging and the Future of the West

Tim Stanley Focusing on utility and beauty, Tim Stanley shows that traditions – ritual, hierarchy, codes of behaviour, and the concept of sanctity – were once preserved because they were useful. Traditions are also beautiful because they enhance life and make it worth living. Drawing on examples from history, literature, art and architecture, Stanley demonstrates how traditions add colour and identity, tying us into our past and evoking sacred mysteries that exist beyond ourselves.

ART AND VISUAL CULTURE

Improvision

Orphic Art in the Age of Jazz

Simon Shaw-Miller An interpretation of early visual modernism that examines the birth of abstract art through an understanding of early jazz. Central to the development of abstract art was the assertion that the most appropriate paradigm for non-figurative art was music, most effectively understood as Western classical music. Simon Shaw-Miller argues that the musical form that was abstract art’s true twin is jazz, a music that originated with African Americans, but which had a profound impact on European artistic sensibilities. Both art forms share creative techniques of rhythm, groove, gesture and improvisation. This book sets out to theorise affinities and connections between, and across, two seemingly diverse cultural phenomena, offering a truly interdisciplinary study. Simon Shaw-Miller is Chair of History of Art, University of Bristol, UK. He is an Honorary Associate and Research Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Skin Crafts

Affect, Violence and Materiality in Global Contemporary Art

Julia Skelly Examines a range of artists who are employing craft materials (primarily fibre and ceramics) in works that address historical and contemporary violence. Skin Crafts discusses multiple artists from global contexts who are deliberately embracing the fragility of textiles and ceramics to evoke the vulnerability of human skin and - in so doing - are demanding visceral responses from viewers. Drawing on a range of theories including affect theory, material feminism, skin studies, phenomenology and global art history, the book illuminates the various ways in which artists are harnessing the affective power of craft materials to address and cope with violence. This book interrogates ongoing material violence towards women and marginalised others, and demonstrates the power of contemporary art to force viewers and scholars into facing their ethical responsibilities as human beings. Julia Skelly is a lecturer in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University, Canada.

Making Trouble

Design and Material Activism

Otto von Busch Examines the radical potential of craft practice to challenge the apparatus of the market and the capitalist state. Drawing on the political philosophy of William Morris, Mohandas Gandhi and the Zapatistas, von Busch traces how power is and can be manifested through the material practice of craft and design, realising its radical potential. Case studies include controversial craft practices around the world such as moonshining, lock-picking, shoplifting, and smuggling, leading to further discussion on how craft can disseminate civic skills and autonomy instead of violence. The book concludes on a hopeful note on how designers can help materialise political ‘thing-power’ as part of a strategic progress towards more democratic incarnations of the civic realm, and ultimately use “socially valid” design and craft to work towards justice and peace.

International Design Organizations Histories, Legacies, Values

Edited by Jeremy Aynsley, Alison J. Clarke and Tania Messell Brings together leading design historians to explore and evaluate the role, purpose and success of a wide range of design organisations. This innovative volume addresses the history and present-day status of international design organisations working across design disciplines and in countries including Argentina, Turkey, Estonia, Switzerland, Italy, China and the USA. During the late 20th-century, many non-governmental organisations were created to address urgent cultural, economic and welfare issues. Design organisations set out to create an international consensus for the future direction of design, which included enhancing communication between professionals, educators and practitioners, raising standards for design, and creating communities of designers across linguistic, national and political borders. Drawing on original research, this volume questions the aims and achievements of these organisations.

Reconstruction

Architecture, the Built Environment and the Aftermath of the First World War

Edited by Neal Shasore and Jessica Kelly Explores the impact of the First World War on the built environment – examining the immediate and longer term aftermath on the architecture of Britain and the British Empire during the interwar years. This volume reveals how the architectural developments of the interwar period not only provided important foundations for what happened after 1945 – they are also of real significance in their own right. Written by leading and emerging scholars, this collection of essays considers the complex effects of reconstruction on design, discourse, practice, and professionalism, and deals with the full spectrum of architectural styles and approaches, privileging neither Modernism nor traditional styles like the neo-Georgian. It brings to the fore social and political histories of the built environment, and makes important postcolonial interventions into the architectural history of British Imperialism at home and in its far reaches.

The New Urban Aesthetic Digital Experiences of Urban Change

Mónica Montserrat Degen and Gillian Rose Examines how digital technology is changing the way we create and experience life in the city. The New Urban Aesthetic brings an important new angle to our understanding of digital technology in the urban domain – examining how our experiences are altered through interaction with digital devices and screens. The book presents three major new case studies – Milton Keynes, UK; Doha, Qatar; and London, UK – exploring how the visual, sensory, temporal and spatial aesthetics of everyday urban life are changing as a result of the digital. The book identifies three versions of ‘the new urban aesthetic’: glamorous, flowing, and dramatic, showing how each of these organise sensory experiences through particular distributions of temporality and spatiality. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the power of digital culture and technology to transform urban spaces and communities around the world.
