Cities, Citizens, and Technologies $111 This book is about the contemporary city and those who live in it. It is thus also about the urban world of the era (extending roughly from the 1960s to the present) that we see as postmodern, and specifically about how the postmodern city is changing under the impact of globalization and new information and communication technologies. In particular, Geyh explores how the urban spaces of postmodernity (parks, plazas, streets, sidewalks) and postmodern urban subjectivities and communities respond to and create each other–how they become mutually constructing. While there is much in this book about what makes a city postmodern, its primary focus is on how the postmodern city is experienced by its inhabitants, and in this respect the book is also a study of everyday life in the postmodern era. As such, it deals not only with the ways in which the postmodern city has developed out of economic, technological, political, and cultural structures that are different from those of the modern city, but also with how the postmodern city changes our ways of knowing and experiencing the world and ourselves as postmodern urban subjects, as citizens of postmodernity. |

Globalization, Culture and Society in Laos $180 Incorporating original fieldwork carried out over a period of more than ten years, combined with innovative theoretical argument, Globalization, Culture and Society in Laos presents one of the first sociological investigations into modern Laos. Boike Rehbein gives a fascinating overview of contemporary Lao culture and society, whilst linking local and national phenomena to tendencies of globalization and the history of the region. The book introduces a new theoretical approach based on the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, applying this sociology to the interpretation of Lao history. It also examines various aspects of Lao culture and society, including economics, politics, language, higher education, music, and religion. Rehbein concludes by attempting to synthesize these cultural elements with the impact of globalization to give a synopsis of contemporary Lao society. Written by an expert in Lao history and culture, familiar with the language and the people, thisbook will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Laos, Southeast Asia, social theory and globalization. |

Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport $57.95 The cultural ubiquity, political prominence and economic significance of contemporary sport present fertile terrain for its critical socio-cultural analysis. From corporate and media dominated mega-events like the Olympic Games, to state programmes for nation-building and health promotion, to the cultural politics of race, gender, sexuality, age and disability, sport is so profoundly marked by relations of power that it lends itself to critique and deconstruction. Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport brings together leading experts on sport to address these issues and to reflect on the continued appeal of sport to people across the globe, as well as on the forms of inequality that sport both produces and highlights. Including a Foreword by Harry Cleaver and Afterword by Michael Bérubé, this book assesses the impact of this work on the fields of ‘mainstream’ Marxism and cultural studies. Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport is centred on three vital questions: Is Marxism still relevant for understanding sport in the twenty-first century? Has Marxism been preserved or transcended by cultural studies? What is the relationship between theory and intervention in the politics of sport? The result is a unique and diverse examination of modern sports culture. The first book published on the relationship between sport and Marxism for over twenty years, Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport is an invaluable resource for students of sport sociology, Marxism, and cultural studiesat all levels. |

Race, Immigration, and American Identity in the Fiction of Salman Rushdie, Ralph Ellison, and William Faulkner $116 Salman Rushdie once observed that William Faulkner was the writer most frequently cited by Third World authors as their major influence. Inspired by the unexpected lines of influence and sympathy that Rushdie’s statement implied, this book seeks to understand connections between American and global experience as discernible in twentieth-century fiction. The worldwide imprint of modern American experience has, of late, invited reappraisals of canonical writers and classic national themes from globalist perspectives. Advancing this line of critical inquiry, this book argues that the work of Salman Rushdie, Ralph Ellison, and William Faulkner reveals a century-long transformation of how American identity and experience have been imagined, and that these transformations have been provoked by new forms of immigration and by unanticipated mixings of cultures and of ethnic groups. This book makes two innovations: first, it places a contemporary world writer’s fiction in an American context; second, it places two modern American writers” novels in a world context. Works discussed include Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet and Satanic Verses; Ellison’s Invisible Man and Juneteenth; and Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury and Light in August. The scholarly materials range from U.S. immigration history and critical race theory to contemporary studies of cultural and economic globalization. |

Sports, Virtues and Vices $51.95 Sports have long played an important role in society. By exploring the evolving link between sporting behaviour and the prevailing ethics of the time this comprehensive and wide-ranging study illuminates our understanding of the wider social significance of sport. The primary aim of Sports, Virtues and Vices is to situate ethics at the heart of sports via ‘virtue ethical’ considerations that can be traced back to the gymnasia of ancient Greece. The central theme running through the book is that sports are effectively modern morality plays: universal practices of moral education for the masses and – when coached, officiated and played properly – a valuable vehicle for ethical development. Including a wealth of contemporary sporting examples, the book explores key ethical issues such as: How the pursuit of sporting excellence can lead to harmDoping, greed and shame Biomedical technology as a challenge to the virtue of elite athletesDefining a ‘virtue ethical account’ in sportFamily vices and virtues in sportWritten by one of the world’s foremost sports philosophers, this book powerfully unites the fields of sports ethics and medical ethics. It is essential reading for all students and scholars with an interest in the ethics and philosophy of sport. |

≪I≫Joie De Vivre ≪/I≫In French Literature And Culture $69.15 The apparent self-sufficiency of joie de vivre means that, despite the widespread use of the phrase since the late nineteenth century, the concept has rarely been explored critically. Joie de vivre does not readily surrender itself to examination, for it is in a sense too busy being what it is. However, as the essays in this collection reveal, joie de vivre can be as complex and variable a state as the more negative emotions or experiences that art and literature habitually evoke. This volume provides an urgently needed study of an intriguing and under-explored area of French literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era. While the range and content of contributions embraces linguistics, literature, art, sport and politics, the starting point is, like that of the term joie de vivre itself, in French language and culture.This volume will be of special interest to researchers across the full range of French studies, from literature and language to cultural studies. It will be of direct appeal to specialist readers, university libraries, graduate and undergraduate students, and general readers with a lively interest in French literature and culture of the medieval, early modern and broad modern periods. This book’s fresh perspectives on the theme of joie de vivre and its relation to questions of privacy, contemplation, voyeurism, feasting and nationhood will also be of relevance to researchers in comparative and cognate disciplines. |

”Ja, ihr seid gemalt”: Ekphrasis and the outsider in three postmodern German novels. $49.99 The desire to capture what one sees in the visual arts and transpose that image into a literary text is a fundamental impulse in the arts. From ancient Greece to modern-day Berlin, from poetry to prose, visual artworks serve as catalysts for the production of literary language. The narrative potential of the visual arts is most evident in the act of ekphrasis: the use of verbal means to evoke the visual image of an artwork in the mind’s eye. With a long and varied history anchored in the interrelatedness of literature and the visual arts, ekphrasis is analyzed here in a new and specific role: it is employed by the authors of three postmodern German-language novels as means of presenting their protagonist-narrators as outsiders.;The novels investigated in this dissertation present alterity in a conspicuous conjunction of form (ekphrasis) and content (outsiders). Although each author approaches this conjunction from a different angle, the origins and results are the same: presenting a narrative progression inspired by the connection between the protagonists and the images. Anne Duden’s Das Judasschaf (1985), Christoph Geiser’s Das geheime Fieber (1987) and Gert Hofmann’s Der Blindensturz (1985) exemplify what is a remarkable similarity of representational approach in several ways: They are all contemporary German-language novels that employ ekphrasis as a primary literary device. Secondly, they share a significant convergence of motifs: suffering, violence, salvation, a journey, and (the epitome of visual representation in art) the silent scream. Thirdly, all exhibit the blurring of time and space resulting from the meeting of visual and verbal representations and characteristic of ekphrasis. Finally, in each work, the motifs explored through ekphrastic narration give voice to protagonists living outside the societal norms. It is only through the verbal expression of their reflections in visual art that these characters find points of identification; in the gap |

”Kechien” as religious praxis in medieval Japan: Picture scrolls as the means and sites of salvation. $49.99 This dissertation investigates the praxis of kechien, forming a karmic connection, evidenced in various religious picture scrolls produced during the Golden Era of their production in Japan, the late thirteenth through the early fourteenth century. This study is inspired by two goals: (1) to define the concept and practice of kechien, and (2) to challenge the widely accepted idea that picture scrolls, emaki , were used solely as a didactic and proselytizing tool. This absence of scholarly work focusing on kechien is rather astonishing considering that a variety of kechien practices are still omnipresent today and were especially so in medieval Japan. Inspired by Miya Tsugio’s suggestion that some emaki were created for the purpose of kechien, I examine text and painting within picture scrolls as well as Buddhist scriptures and contemporary literary works in order to understand the role they played in the formation of kechien. I propose that emaki scrolls served as both a means and a site of kechien in medieval Japanese religious praxis.;The dissertation starts with the concept of kechien seen through various modern dictionaries and the writings of Zhiyi and Genshin, two early monks whose works are often cited as the locus classicus for the term. As my study aims to explore praxis, I then turn to various practices of kechien performed by two types of people: producer and audience. I argue that production and consumption of religious picture scrolls were both regarded as valid and legitimate religious practices, especially near the perceived beginning of the age of mappo, the Final Age of the Dharma. People believed that once they had formed a kechien link with the subject of emaki scrolls through its production and viewing, they would be reborn into a Pure Land and ultimately achieve enlightenment sometime in the future. They also performed meritorious acts utilizing emaki scrolls in order to strengthen their karmic affinity and improve their conditions for |

”The Amorous Doctor”: The French seventeenth-century text in modern translation. $49.99 The anonymous French seventeenth-century play le Docteur Amoureux (1691) was written for the Theatre Italien, the Italian troupe acting in Paris. It incorporated the techniques of both Old French farce and the commedia dell’arte into mainstream comic modes, in the manner of Moliere but with some amusing twists. Le Docteur Amoureux remains a significant part of the French comic canon and the historical corpus of drama, yet it has never been translated into English. With prefatory commentary on the text and the period, the genres of stage performance, and the challenges involved in translating historical texts, this first translation of le Docteur Amoureux is intended to serve contemporary theater research into this rich and prolific period in the history of the French theater under Louis XIV. |

”The Son of Man goes as it is written of him”: The figuration of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. $49.99 Narrative criticism, which utilizes elements of secular narratology to interpret the Gospels, has developed into a major methodological approach in Biblical Studies. Characterization is a fundamental aspect of narrative discourse. As such, it is no surprise to find the category playing host to dominant ideologies of both “literature” and “the self” while also giving rise to confusions between narrative characters and historical persons. This dissertation revisits characterization in the Gospel of Mark, which I read in conversation with two Greek novels—Leucippe and Clitophon by Achilles Tatius and the anonymous Life of Aesop. This intertextual reading attempts to problematize both implicitly modern notions of literary characters as autonomous “agents” and “naturalizing” treatments of literary characters as historical referents.;The dissertation begins with an assessment of the current state of New Testament narrative criticism that demonstrates the persistence of modernist conceptualizations of “character” in contemporary narrative-critical engagements with the New Testament, and the extent to which historical concerns continue to hold sway over efforts to analyze the narrative dynamics of the gospels. I then set out to establish a poststructuralist narratological framework for analyzing literary characters, which dislodges notions of “unity” and “coherence,” jettisons categorizations of characters as “flat” and “round,” and problematizes the long-standing dichotomy of story and discourse. The remaining three chapters perform readings of specific themes and episodes in Mark, Leucippe and Clitophon, and the Life of Aesop. Attending to the aspects of focalization, dialogue, and plot as they relate to characterization, these readings illustrate the inherent ambiguity of narrative discourse, particularly with regard to referentiality, human agency, and the complex relationship between literature and history. Moreover, they illustrate the diverse and complex ways |

”You are what you think”: American self-help and the myth of unlimited human potential. $49.99 “You are what you think” is a popular self-help philosophy, outlined in books written by Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Shakti Gawain, and others. In a mutable, responsive, quantum universe, the energetic vibrations of thoughts and feelings determine one’s life circumstances. Wealth, love, happiness, health, even physical immortality can be obtained by anyone who understands the “Law of Attraction”—that positive vibrations reliably generate positive results. These claims are presented as literal truth, buttressed by developments in modern physics and the insights of Eastern spiritual practitioners. But “you are what you think” is best understood as a myth, a contemporary manifestation of archetypal patterns. I call this self-help philosophy “the myth of unlimited human potential.”;In this study, I undertake an archetypal analysis of the central images or ideas in the myth of unlimited human potential as it appears in bestselling self-help books. For example, “energy” and “abundance,” the “higher self,” and the prescribed “evolution” to a “higher consciousness” in the myth are powerful variations of the archetypal Hero, the Child, and Paradise, the lost state of blissful innocence and security. These come together in the image of the “unlimited,” a free, expansive human being in an infinite cosmos, capable of endless transformation, that is the heart of the myth. The image of the unlimited, as New World, frontier, and the Land of Opportunity for the self-made man, is also an essential component of the American Dream.;The myth of unlimited human potential is relentlessly optimistic about the natural goodness and creative role that individuals play in the world, and this dogmatism creates an unacknowledged shadow. The mythic or archetypal perspective opens up this fundamentalist philosophy of optimism to reveal the psychological fantasies of power, divinity, immortality, and innocence that fuel the myth, along with their less desirable and difficult aspects.

These come together in the image of the “unlimited,” a free, expansive human being in an infinite cosmos, capable of endless transformation, that is the heart of the myth. The image of the unlimited, as New World, frontier, and the Land of Opportunity for the self-made man, is also an essential component of the American Dream.;The myth of unlimited human potential is relentlessly optimistic about the natural goodness and creative role that individuals play in the world, and this dogmatism creates an unacknowledged shadow. The mythic or archetypal perspective opens up this fundamentalist philosophy of optimism to reveal the psychological fantasies of power, divinity, immortality, and innocence that fuel the myth, along with their less desirable and difficult aspects.

‘Romancing the Margins’? $31.7 Explore modern lesbian writing and the critical response it engenders!Central to current debates in lesbian and gender studies have been the role of the postmodern, the relation between sexual and other identities, the issues of marginalization at the intersections of race, class and sexuality, and definitions of lesbian identities. In this volume these concerns are analyzed in relation to contemporary lesbian texts like Sarah Schulman’s Empathy as well as the classic The Well of Loneliness.’Romancing the Margins’?: Lesbian Writing in the 1990s explores a range of critical responses to lesbian writing on issues of gender, sexuality, and lesbian identities, in particular those lesbian identities which are often situated on the margins of lesbian communities, in the final decade of the 20th century. Discussing Jeanette Winterson’s recent novel Gut Symmetries, Native American lesbian writing, the film Entre Nous (which raises questions about the relationship between constructions of lesbian identity and holocaustic narratives), biographies and autobiographies, critical theory and other texts by and about lesbians, this volume stresses the diversity of gender and sexual identity in the 1990s and raises questions about the politics of those positions.’Romancing the Margins’?: Lesbian Writing in the 1990s discusses and explores: the position of lesbians of color–at the intersection of gender, queer, and ethnic identity issues–and the specific, inherent difficulties of that situation. the poetry of June Jordon–poetry which has left typical gender, sexual, and ethnic categories by the wayside–by questioning the contemporary definitions of bisexual and lesbian writing. the language of high queer theory to engage with the ways in which lesbians of color deal with their sense of self in Ellen M. Gil-Gomez’s Performing “La Mestiza”: American Lesbians of Color Negotiating Identities . . . and more!The major |

‘Tell It All’ $23.24 A ‘first wife’ tells the story of her lifeThe author of ‘Wife No. 19,’ Ann Young was in measure inspired in her own literary efforts and in her campaign for women’s rights within the early Mormon church of the nineteenth century by the writings of this book’s remarkable author. Fanny Stenhouse’s views in opposition to pluralist marriage were, in fact, set before the public in print before the work of her-now possibly better known-contemporary. Indeed, the two women knew each other, and though they were joined in common cause, the experiences which caused them to stand up for the rights of women were quite different. There was a time when there were more Mormons in England and Scandinavia that there were in the State of Utah. The early followers of the ministry of Joseph Smith were drawn to the pure simplicity of the faith he espoused and Fanny Stenhouse, an Englishwoman, was one of their number in the days before there was any suggestion polygamous marriage in her church. So it was that Fanny made the long journey to America and began a life of privation, cruelty and oppression which eventually included her reluctant acquiescence to the introduction of the ‘Celestial Order of Marriage’ by the Mormon church under Brigham Young’s leadership. Her account of her ordeals and those of her ‘sisters’ during those turbulent times makes gripping reading, and the courage and fortitude of the stand she took seems all the more incredible to modern readers given the time and place in which she lived. Eventually, Fanny and her husband left the life they both came to abhor and Fanny was encouraged to put her experiences into words-to quite literally, ‘Tell it all.’ Readers of Ann Young’s famous book, ‘Wife No 19,’ will find much to interest them in the pages of this remarkable account and readers new to the subject will find this an engrossing account of one remarkable woman’s courage in adversity. Available in softcover and hardback with dust jacket for collectors. |
