University of Toronto Press Truly Human
Book SynopsisThe Sediq and Truku Indigenous peoples on the mountainous island of Formosa today called Taiwan say that their ancestors emerged in the beginning of time from Pusu Qhuni, a tree-covered boulder in the highlands. Living in the mountain forests, they observed the sacred law of Gaya, seeking equilibrium with other humans, the spirits, animals, and plants. They developed a politics in which each community preserved its autonomy and sharing was valued more highly than personal accumulation of goods or power. These lifeworlds were shattered by colonialism, capitalist development, and cultural imperialism in the twentieth century. Based on two decades of ethnographic field research, Truly Human portrays these peoples’ lifeworlds, teachings, political struggles for recognition, and relations with non-human animals. Taking seriously their ontological claims that Gaya offers moral guidance to all humans, Scott E. Simon reflects on what this particular form of IndigenousTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables Note on Orthography Preface Introduction 1.

University of Pennsylvania Press Underground Politics
Book SynopsisHow Colombian mining communities navigate state power in a context of criminalization and political neglectIn the Chocó rainforests of Colombia, local and settler miners turn to gold as a means to get by and get ahead on the margins of capitalism. They eke out livelihoods while worrying about the declining richness of subsoils, their heightened persecution by state troops, the stigmatizing language of politicians, and the extortion of paramilitaries and guerrillas. Underground Politics follows the everyday sociopolitical life of this supposedly lawless gold frontier, revealing how gold-mining communities in Chocó navigate state power in a context of criminalization and political neglect.Drawing on ethnographic encounters and conversations in mining regions, Jesse Jonkman traces how miners and their surrounding communities reappropriate the state's legal and bureaucratic tools for their own ends. Far from being outside of state governance, or only on t

University of Toronto Press On the Heroic Frenzies
Book SynopsisItalian astronomer and Dominican friar Giordano Bruno (15481600), found guilty of heresy by the Roman Inquisition and burned at the stake, has long been an enigma of early modern European philosophy. His central 1586 work On the Heroic Frenzies has shown a particular need for a fresh examination. This vibrant bilingual edition, annotated by celebrated Bruno scholar Ingrid D. Rowland, features the text in its original Italian alongside an elegant, accurate English translation. On the Heroic Frenzies is at once a philosophical dialogue, an anthology of love poetry, and a collection of sonnets, songs, and emblems sometimes borrowed from other writers, but primarily Bruno’s own. Rowland’s detailed introduction and extensive footnotes highlight the philosophical sources, Biblical allusions, and biographical elements that make Bruno’s work both richly conceived and often challenging to understand. Providing cohesive insights into Bruno’s tTrade Review"Scholars, teachers, and students of Renaissance literature and intellectual history will certainly benefit from this elegant translation, which successfully contributes to the growing availability of Italian philosophical texts in reliable and accessible English translations. Bruno specialists, moreover, will certainly appreciate Rowland’s deep understanding of the text and insightful comments on the life and thought of the Nolan." -- Matteo Soranzo * Recensioni *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction The Imprese of the Eroici furori DE GLI EROICI FURORI / ON THE HEROIC FRENZIES Argomento del Nolano sopra Gli eroici furori The Nolan's Argument of the Heroic Frenzies Prima parte First Part Seconda parte Second Part Notes Bibliography Index

MY - University of Toronto Press Voices from Nepal
Book SynopsisHow can we better protect survivors? How can we learn from their stories without causing further harm? With a pen in one hand and watercolours in the other, graphic journalist Dan Archer embarks on an investigation into human trafficking and how comics can be used to empower survivors and raise awareness of human rights issues. Based on years of research and reporting, the book holds a mirror up to the ways that international and local NGOs study and combat trafficking, reflecting on both the positive and negative impacts they can have. Featuring interviews with trafficking survivors across Nepal, as well as former traffickers themselves, Archer dispels common misconceptions around labour trafficking, sex trafficking, organ trafficking, and more. Through a combination of live sketches, illustrated reportage, and visual testimonies, he champions the use of graphic journalism in human rights reporting and emphasizes the need for a survivor-centric approach to this work.<

University of Minnesota Press Chris Marker
Book SynopsisFormative writings by French avant-garde filmmaker Chris Marker It is hard to imagine French cinema without La Jetée (1962), the time-travel short feature by the reclusive French filmmaker Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve, better known as Chris Marker. He not only influenced artists ranging from David Bowie to J. G. Ballard but also inspired the cult film 12 Monkeys. Marker’s influence expanded beyond his own films through his writings for the French monthly Esprit as well as anthologies and newly founded film publications. This first English translation of Marker’s early writings on film brings together reviews and essays, published between 1948 and 1955, that span the topics of film style, adaptation, and ideology, as well as animation and the debates surrounding 3-D and wide-screen technologies, ranging from late silent-era films to postwar Hollywood’s efforts to contend with the rise of television. Readers will find commentary on Laurence Olivier’s 1944 screen adaptation of Henry V, a scathing review of Robert Montgomery’s Lady in the Lake (1947), critiques of Walt Disney productions, a discussion of the pitfalls of prioritizing commercial success over aesthetic values, and more. An indispensable resource for cinephiles and scholars alike, these texts document the emergence of Marker’s critical voice and situate him alongside such contemporaries as André Bazin and Eric Rohmer, as well as the future French New Wave figures Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. They show how his remarks on individual films open onto his engagement with films as social and cultural phenomena.

McGill-Queen's University Press Kingdom of Barracks
Book SynopsisKingdom of Barracks depicts the texture of everyday life in refugee camps in postwar Europe. Taking a bottom-up perspective, Katarzyna Nowak examines the experiences of Polish Displaced Persons in the shadow of the mounting Cold War and explores the formation of cultural identity in exile through the lenses of class, gender, body, and nationality.Trade Review“Throughout the fresh retelling of life in the barracks and the complex efforts of the DPs to find their way in the postwar order, Katarzyna Nowak gives agency and individuality back to the refugees. Everyday life here is neither idealized as consistently committed to a national agenda nor generalized as a mere set of responses to the rigid rules of camp officials. Rather, Nowak brings out the petty crime, the love affairs, the desperate efforts to keep families together, and the myriad ways DPs sought to game the system of impersonal bureaucracy. She breathes new life into the stories of a whole generation of survivors, who were compelled to live in extended postwar deprivation for many years past the end of formal hostilities in Europe. As a result, Kingdom of Barracks makes a tremendous contribution to our understanding of Cold War refugeedom, the evolution of the Polish diaspora, and changes to the cultural makeup of Polishness abroad.” Keely Stauter-Halsted, University of Illinois Chicago and author of The Nation in the Village: The Genesis of Peasant National Identity in Austrian Poland, 1848–1914“Nowak’s well-written and well-re‐ searched cultural and social history of Polish dis‐ placed persons in the aftermath of the Second World War... is an exemplary addition to the canon of postwar historical literature. Her ability to weave individual destinies in and out of international political processes allows the author to keep displaced per‐ sons’ interests at the forefront of their own history while continuously giving them a voice in defining their own lives – and histories. Nowak’s Kingdom of Barracks is, therefore, a formidable addition to a growing body of literature that focuses on some of the traditionally forgotten victims of Nazism, a deficit of literature that historical academia has only begun to address in recent years."

New York University Press The Reproduction of Inequality
Book SynopsisAn important analysis of the difference class makes in reproductive health choicesCan you run a marathon, drink coffee, eat fish, or fly on a plane while pregnant? Such questions are just the tip of the iceberg for how most pregnant women's bodies are managed, surveilled, and scrutinized during pregnancy. The Reproduction of Inequality examines the intense social pressure that expectant and new mothers face when it comes to their health and body-care choices.Drawing on interviews with dozens of pregnant women and new mothers from poor, middle-class, and mixed-class backgrounds, Katherine Mason paints a vivid picture of the immense weight of expectation that comes with the early stages of motherhood. The women in Mason's study universally sought to give their children a healthy start in life; however, their chosen approaches varied based on their socio-economic class. Whereas middle-class mothers attempted a complete lifestyle change and absolute devotion toTrade ReviewFrom gestational diabetes to drinking coffee, The Reproduction of Inequality maps how pregnant bodies are subject to increasingly high levels of medical and moral scrutiny. Theorizing pregnancy, birth, and post-partum conditions through the lens of gendered, classed, and racialized 'reproductive body projects,' Kate Mason captures the contradictions in the expectations for perfect designer pregnancies in the face of eroded infrastructures for healthcare, childcare, and general support for childbirth and childrearing. Based on rich interviews, this book tells moving, in-depth personal stories while contributing to important debates in sociology, gender studies, and health-related fields * Miliann Kang, author of The Managed Hand: Race, Gender and the Body in Beauty Service Work *For everyone who cares deeply about maternal and child health and addressing health inequities, this book is a gift. Delivering an insightful and sophisticated analysis of how biological reproduction is intertwined with social reproduction, Katherine Mason elegantly reveals the cultural meanings and stakes of reproductive body projects in the twenty-first century. The Reproduction of Inequality is a truly wonderful book. * Miranda R. Waggoner, author of The Zero Trimester: Pre-Pregnancy Care and the Politics of Reproductive Risk *The Reproduction of Inequality shows how adopting so-called ‘healthy lifestyles’ during pregnancy and post-partum is not just about health. It provides privileged mothers a way to display their social status and transmit it to their children, while worsening gendered inequalities at home. A must-read for anyone interested in social inequality, gender, family, and health! * Abigail C. Saguy, author of Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are *The Reproduction of Inequality provides a much-needed demonstration of the ways that ‘health’ has become a rigid moralized ideology reinforcing racialized class divides between mothers. Professor Mason insightfully instructs that while nearly all mothers and pregnant people want what is best for their babies, only those with resources and privilege are trusted to make the “right” choices -- self- sacrificing, responsible, well-informed decisions – on everything from having a cup of coffee while pregnant to regaining control over a postpartum body, and perhaps most important, to inculcating a near-religious devotion to 'health' in one’s children. * Linda M.
