Dorothy a Publishing Project Revenge of the Scapegoat
Book SynopsisFrom the author of Blackfishing the IUD, a darkly hilarious novel about familial trauma, chronic illness, academic labor, and contemporary art. In the tradition of Rabelais, Swift, and Fran Ross—the tradition of biting satire that joyfully embraces the strange and fantastical—and drawing upon documentary strategies from Sheila Heti, Caren Beilin offers a tale of familial trauma that is also a broadly inclusive skewering of academia, the medical industry, and the contemporary art scene.One day Iris, an adjunct at a city arts college, receives a terrible package: recently unearthed letters that her father had written to her in her teens, in which he blames her for their family’s crises. Driven by the raw fact of receiving these devastating letters not once but twice in a lifetime, and in a panic of chronic pain brought on by rheumatoid arthritis, Iris escapes to the countryside—or some absurdist version of it. Nazi cows, Picassos used as tampons, and a pair of arthritic feet that speak in the voices of Flaubert’s Bouvard and Pécuchet are standard fare in this beguiling novel of odd characters, surprising circumstances, and intuitive leaps, all brought together in profoundly serious ways.

Crown Publishing Group (NY) Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women
Book SynopsisAn urgent exploration of men’s entitlement and how it serves to police and punish women, from the acclaimed author of Down Girl“Kate Manne is a thrilling and provocative feminist thinker. Her work is indispensable.”—Rebecca Traister NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ATLANTIC In this bold and stylish critique, Cornell philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. Ranging widely across the culture, from Harvey Weinstein and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to “Cat Person” and the political misfortunes of Elizabeth Warren, Manne’s book shows how privileged men’s sense of entitlement—to sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, care, bodily autonomy, knowledge, and power—is a pervasive social problem with often devastating consequences. In clear, lucid prose, Manne argues that male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women’s pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are “unelectable.” Moreover, Manne implicates each of us in toxic masculinity: It’s not just a product of a few bad actors; it’s something we all perpetuate, conditioned as we are by the social and cultural mores of our time. The only way to combat it, she says, is to expose the flaws in our default modes of thought while enabling women to take up space, say their piece, and muster resistance to the entitled attitudes of the men around them. With wit and intellectual fierceness, Manne sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to our collective care and concern.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys: Women and Gay Male Pornography and Erotica
Book SynopsisThis book investigates what women enjoy about consuming, and in some cases producing, gay male erotic media–from slashfic, to pornographic texts, to visual pornography–and how this sits within their consumption of erotica and pornography more generally. In addition, it will examine how women’s use of gay male erotic media fits in with their perceptions of gender and sexuality. By drawing on a piece of wide-scale mixed methods research that examines these motivations, an original and important volume is presented that serves to explore and contribute to this under-researched area. Trade Review“Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys … is a sort of 50 shades of gay for the modern woman.” (The Sunday Times Style magazine, January 20, 2019)Table of ContentsChapter One: Welcome To The Freak Show.Chapter Two: Boys on Film.Chapter Three: The Joy of Slash.Chapter Four: Don't you know that it's different for girls.Chapter Five: Sometimes it's hard to be a woman.Chapter Six: ‘…Always should be someone you really love'.Chapter Seven: 'It's a Mixed Up Muddled Up Shook Up World'.Chapter Eight: 'You give me the sweetest taboo'.Chapter Nine: The times, they are a changin'.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Elizabeth I of England through Valois Eyes:
Book SynopsisThis book examines the first thirty years of Elizabeth I’s reign from the perspective of the Valois kings, Charles IX and Henri III of France. Estelle Paranque sifts through hundreds of French letters and ambassadorial reports to construct a fuller picture of early modern Anglo-French relations, highlighting key events such as the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, the imprisonment and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the victory of England over the Spanish Armada in 1588. By drawing on a wealth of French sources, she illuminates the French royal family’s shifting perceptions of Elizabeth I and suggests new conclusions about her reign.Trade Review“This book offers an interesting insight not just into England’s relationship with France and Elizabeth’s relationship with the Duke of Alençon, but also her relationship with his ambassadors and how she was able to control the proceedings. … It would be useful for anyone studying England’s relationship with France or anyone who wants to find out more about Elizabeth’s marriage negotiations with the country.” (Tudor Life, Issue 56, April, 2019)Table of Contents

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Sharing the Fire: Outline of a Dialectics of
Book SynopsisWhilst he broaches the theme of the difference between the sexes, Hegel does not go deep enough into the question of their mutual desire as a crucial stage in our becoming truly human. He ignores the dialectical process regarding sensitivity and sensuousness. And yet this is needed to make spiritual the relation between two human subjectivities differently determined by nature and to ensure the connection between body and spirit, nature and culture, private life and public life. This leads Hegel to fragment human subjectivity into yearnings for art, religion and philosophy thereby losing the unity attained through the cultivation of a longing for the absolute born of a desire for one another as different.Furthermore, our epoch of history is different from the Hegelian one and demands that we consider additional aspects of human subjectivity. This is essential if we are to overcome the nihilism inherent in our traditional metaphysics without falling into a worse nihilism due to a lack of rigorous thinking common today.The increasing power of technique and technologies as well as the task of building a world culture are two other challenges we face. Our sexuate belonging provides us with a universal living determination of our subjectivity – now a dual subjectivity - and also with a natural energy potential which allows us to use technical resources without becoming dependent on them.Table of Contents1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reclaiming Humanity in Palestinian Hunger
Book Synopsis2022 Winner of the Palestine Book AwardsRooted in feminist ethnography and decolonial feminist theory, this book explores the subjectivity of Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli prisons, as shaped by resistance. Ashjan Ajour examines how these prisoners use their bodies in anti-colonial resistance; what determines this mode of radical struggle; the meanings they ascribe to their actions; and how they constitute their subjectivity while undergoing extreme bodily pain and starvation. These hunger strikes, which embody decolonisation and liberation politics, frame the post-Oslo period in the wake of the decline of the national struggle against settler-colonialism and the fragmentation of the Palestinian movement. Providing narrative and analytical insights into embodied resistance and tracing the formation of revolutionary subjectivity, the book sheds light on the participants’ views of the hunger strike, as they move beyond customary understandings of the political into the realm of the ‘spiritualisation’ of struggle. Drawing on Foucault’s conception of the technologies of the self, Fanon’s writings on anti-colonial violence, and Badiou’s militant philosophy, Ajour problematises these concepts from the vantage point of the Palestinian hunger strike. Table of Contents1: Introduction.- 2: Hunger Strike Resistance: A Brief History.- 3: Field Work and Reflection on Challenges: Feminist and Decolonial Approaches.- 4: Producing Knowledge and Understanding Subjectivity through Lived Experience.- 5: Theoretical Framework: Theories of Subjectivity and Subjectivation.- 6: Dispossession of Humanity: The Pre-hunger Strike Stage.- 7: Reclaiming Dispossessed Humanity: The Decision to Hunger Strike.- 8: The Embodiment of Humanity: Technologies of the Self and Resistance in the Hunger Strike.- 9: ‘Strength’, Conflict, and the Body in Pain.- 10: Self-Determination and the Struggle with Death.- 11: Strength, Continuity and Steadfastness (Sumud).- 12: The Meaning of Victory: Sovereignty Over the Body in the Hunger Strikers’ Philosophy of Freedom.- 13: Conceptualising a Limit-Experience: The Hunger Strike as a Near-Death.- 14: Conclusion.
