Transnational Cinema at the Borders Borderscapes and the cinematic imaginary

In tandem with a postnational imaginary which is nurtured by the ever-present promise of deterritorialized mobility and burgeoning migratory fluxes walls and fences separating nation-states multiply. This is a burning issue: even though nation states at the centre of the global order increasingly present themselves as postnational calls for tighter border security undermine utopian notions of both a borderless New Europe and the USA as the Promised Land. This collection investigates the urgent issue of borderscapes and the cinematic imaginary by bringing together a range of new approaches in the field of film and media studies crossing over into sociology migration studies and artistic research. The contributions focus on the interrelated motifs of borderscapes as they are represented and used in transnational cinematographies from Palestine to Sweden Spain Finland Italy Iran Iraq France the UK and US and as constituting premises of cinematic production. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Transnational Cinemas journal. | Transnational Cinema at the Borders Borderscapes and the cinematic imaginary

Materialities and Mobilities in Education

Materialities and Mobilities in Education develops new arguments about the ways in which educational processes can be analysed. Drawing on a recent interest in mobilities across the social sciences and a conterminous resurgence in academic accounts of materialities the book demonstrates how these two ostensibly differing perspectives on education might be fruitfully deployed in tandem. Considering the interaction and convergence of materialities and mobilities the book highlights the relationship between structural constraints and opportunities and the agency of individuals providing a unique and essential insight into contemporary education. Examining a range of education spaces from the formal to the informal and the different types of mobility that manifest in relation to education the book introduces readers to a range of theoretical resources and detailed case studies used to analyse the spatiality of education from across the disciplines of human geography education and sociology. Drawing on material from across the globe Materialities and Mobilities in Education is an engaging and relevant text which will appeal to postgraduate students researchers and academics interested in the development of education policy and practice.

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud presents the parallels between The Guide of the Perplexed and The Interpretation of Dreams considering how Maimonides might be perceived as anticipating Freud’s much later work. The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud suggests that humankind has secrets to hide and does so by using common mechanisms and embedding revealing hints for the benefit of the true reader. Using a psychoanalytic approach in tandem with literary criticism and an in-depth assessment of Judaica Szajnberg demonstrates the similarities between these two towering Jewish intellectual pillars. Using concepts of esoteric literature from the Torah and later texts this book analyses their ideas on concealing and revealing to gain a renewed perspective on Freud’s view of dreams. Throughout Szajnberg articulates the challenges of reading translated works and how we can address the pitfalls in such translations. The book is a vital read for psychoanalysts in training and practice as well as those interested in Judaica the history of ideas and early medieval studies.

Philosophy of Sculpture Historical Problems Contemporary Approaches

Sculpture has been a central aspect of almost every art culture contemporary or historical. This volume comprises ten essays at the cutting edge of thinking about sculpture in philosophical terms representing approaches to sculpture from the perspectives of both Anglo-American and European philosophy. Some of the essays are historically situated while others are more straightforwardly conceptual. All of the essays however pay strict attention to actual sculptural examples in their discussions. This reflects the overall aim of the volume to not merely apply philosophy to sculpture but rather to test the philosophical approaches taken in tandem with deep analyses of sculptural examples. There is an array of philosophical problems unique to sculpture namely certain aspects of its three-dimensionality physicality temporality and morality. The authors in this volume respond to a number of challenging philosophical questions related to these characteristics. Furthermore while the focus of most of the essays is on Western sculptural traditions there are contributions that features discussion of sculptural examples from non-Western sources. Philosophy of Sculpture is the first full-length book treatment of the philosophical significance of sculpture in English. It is a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars across aesthetics art history history performance studies and visual studies. | Philosophy of Sculpture Historical Problems Contemporary Approaches

Macroeconomic Measurement Versus Macroeconomic Theory

Ideally scientific theory and scientific measurement should develop in tandem but in recent years this has not been the case in economics. There used to be a time when leading economists or their students established or led statistical offices and took care that the measurements were consistent with the theory (and vice versa). Not anymore. Macroeconomic theorists and macroeconomic statisticians do not even speak the same language any longer. They do use the same words such as ‘consumption’ ‘investments’ or ‘unemployment’ but the meanings can often be different. This book maps the differences between macroeconomic theory and measurement and explores them in some detail while also tracking their intellectual historical and in some cases ideological origins. It also explores the possible policy implications. In doing so the book draws on two separate strands of literature which are seldom used in unison: macro-statistical manuals and theoretical macro-papers. By doing so the book contributes to the effort to bridge the gap between them without compromising on the idea that a meaningful science of economics should in the end be based upon individual people and households and their social and cultural embedding instead of a ‘representative consumer’ or Robinson Crusoe figure. This work is essential reading for students economists statisticians and professionals. | Macroeconomic Measurement Versus Macroeconomic Theory

The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Throughout this enlightening collection Neil Maizels considers the helical tandem between the Life Instinct and the Death drive in the light of canonical literary figures like Thomas Hardy Patricia Highsmith Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare classic filmmakers like Hitchcock and contemporary television shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm The West Wing and Succession. This light is filtered through intricate clinical work whereby Maizels seeks to illustrate and expound on the strength and indefatigability of the Life Instinct. He makes a case for it as the relentless driver of integration and “binding” in the ever-growing expansive psyche. He considers both Freud’s original equation of the Life Instinct with Eros and a widening interconnecting love of mankind and Melanie Klein’s with gratitude and creative reparation. This book is a multi-layered presentation of the clinical and theoretical work of Neil Maizels as it has evolved and convolved over several decades. It places the feeling through of one’s conflicts at the heart of the mind’s generation of a unique identity equipped to evolve its own unique form of creative spirit in the face of life’s most pressing psychological challenges: the limitation of time and reciprocated beauty. The Life-Death Instinct: Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments is important reading for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in this fascinating intersection of psychoanalysis and the arts. | The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

The Political Sociology of Emotions Essays on Trauma and Ressentiment

The Political Sociology of Emotions articulates the political sociology of emotions as a sub-field of emotions sociology in relation to cognate disciplines and sub-disciplines. Far from reducing politics to affectivity the political sociology of emotions is coterminous with political sociology itself plus the emotive angle added in the investigation of its traditional and more recent areas of research. The worldwide predominance of affective anti-politics (e. g. the securitization of immigration policies reactionism terrorism competitive authoritarianism nationalism and populism etc. ) makes the political sociology of emotions increasingly necessary in making the prospects of democracy and republicanism in the twenty-first century more intelligible. Through a weak constructionist theoretical perspective the book shows the utility of this new sub-field by addressing two central themes: trauma and ressentiment. Trauma is considered as a key cultural-political phenomenon of our times evoking both negative and positive emotions; ressentiment is a pertaining individual and collective political emotion allied to insecurities and moral injuries. In tandem they constitute fundamental experiences of late modern times. The value of the political sociology of emotions is revealed in the analysis of civil wars cultural traumas the politics of pity the suffering of distant others in the media populism and national identities on both sides of the Atlantic. | The Political Sociology of Emotions Essays on Trauma and Ressentiment

Linguistic Justice Black Language Literacy Identity and Pedagogy

Bringing together theory research and practice to dismantle Anti-Black Linguistic Racism and white linguistic supremacy this book provides ethnographic snapshots of how Black students navigate and negotiate their linguistic and racial identities across multiple contexts. By highlighting the counterstories of Black students Baker-Bell demonstrates how traditional approaches to language education do not account for the emotional harm internalized linguistic racism or consequences these approaches have on Black students' sense of self and identity. This book presents Anti-Black Linguistic Racism as a framework that explicitly names and richly captures the linguistic violence persecution dehumanization and marginalization Black Language-speakers endure when using their language in schools and in everyday life. To move toward Black linguistic liberation Baker-Bell introduces a new way forward through Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy a pedagogical approach that intentionally and unapologetically centers the linguistic cultural racial intellectual and self-confidence needs of Black students. This volume captures what Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy looks like in classrooms while simultaneously illustrating how theory research and practice can operate in tandem in pursuit of linguistic and racial justice. A crucial resource for educators researchers professors and graduate students in language and literacy education writing studies sociology of education sociolinguistics and critical pedagogy this book features a range of multimodal examples and practices through instructional maps charts artwork and stories that reflect the urgent need for antiracist language pedagogies in our current social and political climate. | Linguistic Justice Black Language Literacy Identity and Pedagogy

Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

This book studies recent music in the western classical tradition offering a critique of current analytical/theoretical approaches and proposing alternatives. The critique addresses the present fringe status of recent music sometimes described as crossover postmodern post-classical post-minimalist etc. and demonstrates that existing descriptive languages and analytical approaches do not provide adequate tools to address this music in positive and productive terms. Existing tools and concepts were developed primarily in the mid-20th century in tandem with the high modernist compositional aesthetic and they have changed little since then. The aesthetics of music composition on the other hand have been in constant transformation. Lochhead proposes new ways to conceive musical works their structurings of musical experience and time and the procedures and goals of analytic close reading. These tools define investigative procedures that engage the multiple perspectives of composers performers and listeners and that generate conceptual modes unique to each work. In action they rebuild a conceptual methodological and experiential place for recent music. These new approaches are demonstrated in analyses of four pieces: Kaija Saariaho’s Lonh (1996) Sofia Gubaidulina’s Second String Quartet (1987) Stacy Garrop’s String Quartet no. 2 Demons and Angels (2004-05) and Anna Clyne’s Choke (2004). This book defies the prediction of classical music’s death and will be of interest to scholars and musicians of classical music and those interested in music theory musicology and aural culture. | Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women’s Magazines

This book examines evolving pop culture representations of sex and relationships from the 1970s onwards to demonstrate parallels between the strength of the feminist movement and positive portrayals of women’s sexuality. In charting changes in the sex and relationship content of women’s magazines over time this analysis reveals that despite surface-level changes in sexual and relationship content the underlying paradigm of hetero-monogamy remains unchanged. Despite a seemingly more diverse empowered and liberated sexuality for women in contemporary magazines in reality such feminist rhetoric masks an enduring model of sexuality which rests on women’s sexual and emotional maintenance of male partners and their own self-objectification and self-surveillance. Where substantive changes can be identified they rise and fall in tandem with feminism. By demonstrating this empirical relationship between cultural products and feminist organising the book validates an assumption that has rarely been tested: that a feminist social milieu improves cultural narratives about sexuality for women. Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire builds on ground-breaking feminist texts such as Susan Faludi’s Backlash to present an empirically focused comprehensive study interrogating changes in content over the lifetime of women’s magazines. By charting the representation of sex and relationships in two women’s magazines—Cosmopolitan and Cleo—since the 1970s through an analysis of over 6 500 magazine pages and 1 500 articles this timely work interrogates—and ultimately complicates—the apparent linear progression of feminism. This book is suitable for researchers and students in women’s and gender studies queer studies LGBT studies media studies cultural studies and sociology. | Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women’s Magazines

Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy

This book recovers a sense of the high stakes of Shakespearean comedy arguing that the comedies no less than the tragedies serve to dramatize responses to the condition of being human responses that invite scholarly investigation and explanation. Taking its cue from Stanley Cavell’s influential readings of Othello and Lear the book argues that exposure or vulnerability to others is the source of both human happiness and human misery; while the tragedies showcase attempts at the evasion of such vulnerability through the self-defeating pursuit of epistemological certainty the comedies present the drama and the difficulty of turning away from an epistemological register in order to productively respond to the fact of our humanity. Where Shakespeare’s tragedies might be viewed in Cavellian terms as the drama of skepticism Shakespeare’s comedies then exemplify the drama of acknowledgement. As a parallel and a preamble Gottlieb suggests that the field of literary studies is itself a site of such revealing responses: where competing research methods strive to foreclose upon (or alternatively rejoice in) epistemological uncertainty such commitments bespeak an urge to avoid or circumvent the human in the practice of scholarship. Reading Shakespeare’s comedies in tandem with a defactoist view of teaching and learning points in the direction of a new humanism one that eschews both the relativism of old deconstruction and contemporary Presentism and the determinism of various kinds of structural accounts. This book offers something new in scholarly and popular understanding of Shakespeare’s work doing so with both philosophical rigor and literary attention to the difficult work of reading. | Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy
