Book SynopsisHistorically, there has been reluctance, from mainstream IR scholars as well as feminists, to seriously engage with womenâs agency in warfare. Instead, scholarship has tended to focus on womenâs activism for peace or to ignore womenâs agency altogether.This book rectifies this omission by exploring the cultural understanding of actors, agents and structures of war and how can we make sense of attitudes towards women, agency and war today. By using a poststructuralist feminist perspective and by analysing empirical cases from a Western âwar on terrorâ cultural context, Ahall argues that all types of stories are informed by ideas about motherhood and maternal reproduction as the foundation of sexual difference. This does not only mean that women are judged/read/valued based on the shape of their, maternalised, bodies, rather than what they actually do, but, it means that ideas about motherhood, not motherhood itself, function to police contemporary gender norms and contemporaryTrade ReviewOverall, the book presents interesting case studies and an eclectic methodology. The book is well structured, the conceptual connections are made easy to follow and are well linked to the case studies. Thus making the book highly recommended for students and scholars interested in gender and political communication, visual culture and the politics of emotions, Barthesian methodological approaches to the discipline of international relations, and the relation between world politics and popular culture. - Foucault, MTable of ContentsIntroduction: Securitising Feminism or Feminist Security Studies?, Chapter 1: Stories of Motherhood, Agency and War, Chapter 2: Gender, Security and Popular Culture: A methodological approach, CAST: Empirical cases and list of characters, Chapter 4: Heroic Subjects, Chapter 5: Monstrous Abjects, Conclusion: Making Feminist Sense of Maternalist War Stories

Book SynopsisWritten with media students in mind, this accessible book provides both students and researchers with a new perspective on how to research engagement, not as a metric but as a marker of power relations. This book navigates the reader through a tighter analytical notion of engagement within an understanding of media, culture and democracy. Dahlgren and Hill offer a new definition of engagement as an energising internal force, and as such a powerful means to further human agency. From this definition, the book builds a generative theory of engagement as a nexus of relations we make and break with media on a daily basis, with examples from political activism, news and disinformation, and the global pandemic. Dahlgren and Hill identify five parameters of engagement in order to understand the relations we have with media across changing public and mediated spheres. This new perspective offers students and researchers pathways for investigating the meaning of meTrade Review"Democracies depend upon engaged citizens, but what exactly does engagement entail? In this remarkably clear and insightful book, Peter Dahlgren and Annette Hill offer a rich definition of this widely used but commonly under-theorised concept. It will become a point of reference for many years to come."Stephen Coleman, Professor of Political Communication, University of Leeds, UK"Media engagement is commodified, analyzed and mythologized, yet rarely is it fully understood. In this insightful book, Dahlgren and Hill explain how people engage with media to make sense of everyday life. In so doing, they tell stories, create myths, experience joy and sorrow, and above all, they survive."Zizi Papacharissi, Professor of Communication and Political Science, University of Illinois Chicago, USATable of ContentsForeword by John Corner Part I: Mapping Engagement 1.

Book SynopsisThis is a critical biography examining the life and work of Ernie McClintock, the founder of the Jazz Acting Method and 1997 recipient of the Living Legend Award from the National Black Theatre Festival, whose inclusive contributions to acting and actor training have largely remained on the fringes of scholarship and practice.Trade Review"In Ernie McClintock and the Jazz Actors Family: Reviving the Legacy Cizmar excavates the practices of Black Arts Movement activist and acting teacher Ernie McClintock’s ground breaking acting techniques which de-centered Stanislavski based approaches to actor training to combine African and African American experiential aesthetics with voice work centered in jazz music, yoga, karate, and African movement. Cizmar deftly explores McClintock’s "common sense" or "jazz acting" methods to illuminate his powerful social justice agenda used in many regional black theatres across the country during the Black Arts Movement and beyond. Cizmar’s beautiful book makes McClintock’s archive feel urgent and resonant in the 21st century as Black theater artists around the world ask for accountability and legibility within the mainstream theater landscape. Cizmar’s descriptive prose and archival research are coupled in a fascinating account of 20th century Black acting methods that challenged the American actor training repertoire. Cizmar’s thoughtful analysis leaves the reader asking how McClintock’s work could be erased from the history of American actor training. The book is a must read for any artist, scholar, or theater enthusiast interested in the early practices of anti-racist theater and the struggles for equity and representation of Black artists in the American theater."Nicole Hodges Persley, Associate Professor of American Studies and African and African American Studies, University of Kansas"Ernie McClintock may not be well-known to the masses of people, but he was both a larger-than-life pioneer and a living legend of the American and African American theater scene. With Ernie McClintock and the Jazz Actors Family, Dr. Elizabeth Cizmar has given us an awe-inspiring exploration not only of his life and work, but of the community Mr. McClintock built, bricks in bare hands, across generations, which would include a young Tupac Shakur. This hugely engaging book is a necessary addition to our understanding not just of theater and the arts, but of America itself during the course of Ernie McClintock’s life."Kevin Powell, author of Grocery Shopping with My Mother: PoemsTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis edited collection explores the intersection of historical studies and the artistic representation of the past in the long nineteenth century. The case studies provide not just an account of the pursuit of history in art within Western Europe but also examples from beyond that sphere. These cover canonical and conventional examples of history painting as well as more inclusive, âpopularâ and vernacular visual cultural phenomena. General themes explored include the problematics internal to the theory and practice of academic history painting and historical genre painting, including compositional devices and the authenticity of artefacts depicted; relationships of power and purpose in historical art; the use of historical art for alternative Liberal and authoritarian ideals; the international cross-fertilisation of ideas about historical art; and exploration of the diverse influences of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors. This book will be of particular interest Trade Review"...Seamless interface of history and art history, enhanced by the contributors. ...

Book SynopsisDrawing upon the existing scholarship of period drama and emerging research into new media ecologies, instigated by television streaming services such as Netflix, this book establishes a critical framework for understanding the representation of nationhood and cultural identity in television drama. By formalising the term post-heritage' the book proposes a methodology which recognises the interplay of traditional and innovative elements within period drama productions. The book applies this critical perspective to popular British period drama productions from the 2010s, with examples including The Crown, the society dramas' of Upstairs Downstairs and Downton Abbey, Steven Knight's Dickens adaptations, and Stephen Poliakoff's recent oeuvre, to demonstrate the benefits of evaluating period drama as part of twenty-first century television's developments. It challenges the assumptions around characteristics and ideological purpose that period drama disTrade Review‘Offering a welcome, fresh focus on British television period drama since the 2010s, Post-heritage Perspectives on British Period Drama takes a considered approach to several key examples of the genre, situating them sensitively in relation to the contemporary televisual, cultural and socio-political context. With commendable even-handedness, the book reconsiders the critical framework within which period drama is most often appraised, utilising the concept of post-heritage in a nuanced and non-judgemental manner that enables appreciation of each programme on its own terms. The book’s emphasis on diversity and complexity mirrors the breadth of perspectives offered by programmes as varied as Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, The Crown, Dickensian and recent works by Stephen Poliakoff, amongst others. This book will appeal to scholars of British television, adaptation, period dramas and broadcast TV, as well as to readers who simply enjoy televisual historical fiction of many hues. It is to be hoped that this book’s thoughtful reappraisal and appreciation of the genre will rekindle and inspire wider interest into a form of television which remains popular, innovative and vibrant.’Dr Sarah Cardwell, University of Kent, United Kingdom.Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Post-Heritage Framework 1.

Book SynopsisThis book argues that Halloween need not be the first nor the most influential youth slasher film for it to hold a special place in the history of youth cinema.John Carpenterâs 1978 horror hit was once considered the be-all, end-all of teen slasher cinema and was regarded as the first, the best, and the most influential American slasher film. Recent revisions in film history, however, have challenged Halloweenâs comfortable place in the canon of youth horror cinema. However, this book argues that the film, like no other, draws from the themes, imagery, and obsessions that fueled youth horror cinema since the 1950sâGothic atmosphere, atomic dread, twisted psychology, and alienated teenage monstersâand ties them together in the deceptively simple story of a masked killer on Halloween night. Along the way, the film delivers a savage critique of social institutions and their failure to protect young people.

Book SynopsisExtracting Reconciliation argues that reconciliation constitutes a critical contemporary mechanism through which colonialism is seeking to ensure continuing access to Indigenous lands and resources.Making use of two historical case studies concerned with the intersection of resource extraction, Crown/Inuit relations, and waste legacies in Nunavut, Canada, the authors illuminate the mechanisms of colonial and neoliberal governance globally that promise reconciliation while delivering the status quo. Through Indigenous and non-Indigenous anticolonial and posthuman concepts and theories, the book engages with the inhuman politics of settler colonial extractivism and explores the socio-ethical social justice dimensions, political possibilities, and environmental implications of a much more challenging and accountable reckoning between (settler) colonialism and Indigenous land rights.This book is of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, postcolonial Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Book SynopsisThe fifth title in the Docalogue series, this book examines Ahmir Questlove Thompson's 2021 documentary, Summer of Soul (Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).The award-winning film draws on archival footage and interviews to examine the legacy of the Harlem Cultural Festival, a showcase of Black music staged weekly throughout the summer of 1969. The film interrogates this event as a piece of forgotten history and prompts critical reflection on why this history was lost while also raising important questions related to archival preservation and cultural memory. Combining five different perspectives, this book acts both as an intensive scholarly treatment and as a pedagogical guide for how to analyze, theorize, and contextualize a documentary. Together, the essays in this book touch upon key topics related to the study of popular music, musical performance, and audiences; the discovery and reuse of archives and archival documents; and Black studies and AmericaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Constituting a Congregation in/through Summer of Soul Jaimie Baron 1.

Book SynopsisTransatlantic policing is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, epitomised by public responses to the murders of George Floyd and Sarah Everard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is lost when the police either fail to protect the public or rely on coercion rather than consent to achieve that protection. Recovering Police Legitimacy challenges conventional criminological, political, and public solutions to the problem by approaching it from the bottom up, beginning with policing as a practice constituted by a unique set of excellences, skills, and characteristics.The author draws on his experience as a police officer and on the serial fictions of James Ellroy, David Peace, and Nic Pizzolatto to characterise the practice in terms of heroic struggle, edgework, absolute sacrifice, and worldmaking. These characteristics provide an analytic tool for revolutionising our understanding of the relations among policing as a situated practice, public protection

This book scrutinizes the relationship between contemporary TV shows and space, focusing on the ways in which these shows use and narrate specific spatial structures, namely, spaces far away from traditional metropolises.Beginning with the observation that many shows are set in specific spatial settings, referred to in the book as âœnonplace territoriesâ â e.g., North Jersey, New Mexico, or rural and suburban Western Germany â the author argues that the link between such nonplace territories and shows such as The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, or Dark is so intense because the narrative structure functions similarly to these territories: flat, decentralized, without any sense of structure or stable hierarchy. The book takes three different perspectives: first, it looks at the rationale for combining TV shows and nonplace territories from the viewpoint of narrative strategy. It then thinks through what these strategies mean for practicing architects. Finall

This ethnographic survey contextualizes a shift in the Japanese jazz world over the last 30 years: What once was a culture dependent on the American influence is now a thriving local scene creating a wide variety of original, transnational compositions. Based on digital and physical observations and extensive interviews with nearly three dozen Japanese professional jazz musicians while featuring portraits of well-known artists, this empirical investigation into how, where, and why jazz is performed, opens doors to touch on culturally sensitive and taboo topics such as gender, sexuality, and indigenization.

Through an examination of Alfonso CuarÃnâs Children of Men, this book demonstrates the ability of cinematic fictions, and other complex narrative fictions, to contribute to meeting the climate challenge by shaping the desires of audiences. What if there was a single feature film that showed us everything we need to know about climate catastrophe culture? What if that same film also made the philosophies of Slavoj ÅiÅek, Mark Fisher, Francis Fukuyama, and Fredric Jameson accessible? Identifying the climate challenge as a cultural challenge, this book provides an unprecedented criminological analysis of both Children of Men and Fisherâs oeuvre from 1998 to 2022 and demonstrates the capacity of cinematic narratives to shape climate catastrophe culture. Seeking to be part of the solution to the climate challenge, it is the first criminological study to link the capacity of cinematic fictions to shape desire to solutions to the climate crisis.

Book SynopsisThis book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology''s relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either ''marginal'' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.Trade Review'This is a wonderful book, which has a lot of important things to say, not just about astrology, but about the nature of modern Western society.' Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol, UK 'Not concerned with the truth of its claims, Campion establishes a foundation for sociological inquiry to close a lacuna in understanding astrology's cultural status in contemporary Anglo-American society. To this end, he examines apocalyptic millenarianism, the New Age movement, Christian and "scientistic" rivalry in relation to the persistent fascination with the language of zodiac signs and the "judicial" astrological industry that has arisen from it. Campion's comprehensive approach ranges from fortune telling, media popularity and the complex skills involved with the discipline to philosophical and theological concerns with ethics.'

Book SynopsisStatus Quo were one of the most successful, influential and innovative bands of the 1970s. During the first half of the decade, they wrote, recorded and performed a stream of inventive and highly complex rock compositions, developed 12 bar forms and techniques in new and fascinating ways, and affected important musical and cultural trends. But, despite global success on stage and in the charts, they were maligned by the UK music press, who often referred to them as lamebrained three-chord wonders, and shunned by the superstar Disk Jockeys of the era, who refused to promote their music. As a result, Status Quo remain one of the most misunderstood and underrated bands in the history of popular music. Cope redresses that misconception through a detailed study of the band's music and live performances, related musical and cultural subtopics and interviews with key band members. The band is reinstated as a serious, artistic and creative phenomenon of the 1970s scene and shown to be vitalTrade Review2020 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research - WinnerBest Historical Research in Recorded Rock and Popular MusicBest History Table of ContentsList of tables Acknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis book considers the question of spatial justice after apartheid from several disciplinary perspectives jurisprudence, law, literature, architecture, photography and psychoanalysis are just some of the disciplines engaged here. However, the main theoretical device on which the authors comment is the legacy of what in Carl Schmitt's terms is nomos as the spatialised normativity of sociality. Each author considers within the practical and theoretical constraints of their topic, the question of what nomos in its modern configuration may or may not contribute to a thinking of spatial justice after apartheid.On the whole, the collection forces a confrontation between law's spatiality in a postcolonial era, on the one hand, and the traumatic legacy of what Paul Gilroy has called the colonial nomos, on the other hand. In the course of this confrontation, critical questions of continuation, extension, disruption and rewriting are raised and confronted in noveTable of ContentsList of Contributors 1 Apartheid remains: Nomos, law and spatiality in post-apartheid South Africa JACO BARNARD-NAUDÉ AND JULIA CHRYSSOSTALIS2 Un/mapping Black life: On estranged spatialities, colonial nomos and the ruses of “post”-apartheid JOEL M.

Book SynopsisBoy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity provides a history of the boy band from the Beatles to One Direction, placing the modern male pop group within the wider context of twentieth- and twenty-first-century popular music and culture. Offering the first extended look at pop masculinity as exhibited by boy bands, this volume links the evolving expressions of gender and sexuality in the boy band to wider economic and social changes that have resulted in new ways of representing what it is to be a man.The popularity of boy bands is unquestionable, and their contributions to popular music are significant, yet they have attracted relatively little study. This book fills that gap with chapters exploring the challenges of defining the boy band phenomenon, its origins and history from the 1940s to the present, the role of management and marketing, the performance of gender and sexuality, and the nature of fandom and fan agency.

Book SynopsisExamining one of the earliest films made specifically for young audiences in US cinema, Rock around the Clock (1956), this book explores the exploitation production company that made the film and the ways it represented young people, especially in terms of their association with rock 'n' roll music and culture.Providing new avenues of approaching the film, the book looks at how Rock around the Clock has attracted significant scholarly attention, despite its origins as a low-budget production made by master exploitation filmmaker Sam Katzman. It challenges accounts that see the film's young people as juvenile delinquents, using instead the label cultural rebels' as a signifier of youth's ability to resurrect a moribund music industry and rejuvenate a stale youth culture. This book also questions the nature of the label exploitation' as applied to the film by examining Columbia Pictures' role as a resource provider for Katzman's film, comparing Rock around the Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisIn Radical Utopianism and Cultural Studies, John Storey looks at the concept of utopianism from a cultural studies perspective and argues that radical utopianism can awaken the political promise of cultural studies. Between the Preface and the Postscript, there are seven chapters that explore different aspects of radical utopianism. The book begins with a definition of what radical utopianism means, with its productive combination of defamiliarization and desire. From there, it considers Thomas More's invention of the concept of utopia with its double articulation of what is and what could be, Herbert Marcuse's utopian rereading of Sigmund Freud's concept of repression, Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers, the Paris Commune, and the Haight-Ashbury counterculture. In the final chapter, Storey examines two versions of utopian capitalism: retro and post. Although the main focus here is on Donald Trump's presidential elTrade ReviewIn Radical Utopianism and Cultural Studies, John Storey has delivered a breath of fresh revolutionary air into the miasma of respectable co-optation that has engulfed this once radical project. When Stuart Hall and others developed the framework and methodology of cultural studies, they were creating new interdisciplinary ways to study and intervene in the "terrible interconnection between culture and society" (Hall). Unfortunately, the regression imposed on the scholarly sphere by the neoliberal rise to power from the 1980s onward has managed to temper and tame this project. Too often reduced to little more than an academic field, the radical intellectual work of cultural studies has collapsed within a precarious university atmosphere that encourages collaboration and careerism. In this book, Storey brings the critical apparatus of utopian theory and method (especially as developed in the tradition of Marx, Ernst Bloch, Fredric Jameson, Ruth Levitas, and others) to revive and regenerate the transgressive and transformative of which this project is capable. I urge all cultural studies scholars and teachers to buy this book. I urge all who are interested in not only understanding the world but in changing it to buy this book.Tom Moylan, University of LimerickTable of ContentsPreface Cultural Studies and Utopian DesireChapter 1 Radical Utopianism: Defamiliarization and DesireChapter 2 The Happy Place That Exists NowhereChapter 3 Herbert Marcuse and the Great RefusalChapter 4 Gerard Winstanley and the Law of RighteousnessChapter 5 The Paris Commune: Storming HeavenChapter 6 The Chimes of Freedom Flashing: The Haight-Ashbury CountercultureChapter 7 Utopian Capitalism: Retro and PostPostscript Making Hope and History Rhyme

Book SynopsisTeen TV explores the history of television's relationship to teens as a desired, but elusive audience, and the ways in which television has embraced youth subcultures, tracing the shifts in American and global televisual and teen media.Organized chronologically to cover each generation since the inception of the medium in the 1940s, the book examines a wide range of historical and contemporary programming: from the broadcast bottleneck, multi-channel era that included youth-targeted spaces like MTV, the WB, and the CW, to the rise of streaming platforms and global crossovers. It covers the thematic concerns and narrative structure of the coming-of-age story, and the prevalent genre formations of teen TV and milestones faced by teen characters.

Teen TV provides a rich and insightful chronological history of the genre from Baby Boomer teen TV to the teen TV of Gen Z by mixing textual, cultural, and industrial analysis interspersed with illuminating interviews with key producers of the genre. A must read for everyone who’s watched TV as a teenager."Gry C Rustad, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies, University of Bergen, Norway "In Teen TV Stefania Marghitu anchors engaging and accessible genre analysis not to decades but rather to generations. By accentuating generational specificities, cross-generational conflicts, and demographic shifts, Marghitu invites us to consider how different youth cultures are cultivated and chased by the corporate television complex. Attentive to key creatives, series, and episodes, Teen TV crafts a sweeping and swift journey through a television genre that is always on the verge of stirring up a moral panic."Deborah L.

Book SynopsisDynamically written and richly illustrated, the Routledge International Handbook of Visual Criminology offers the first foundational primer on visual criminology. Spanning a variety of media and visual modes, this volume assembles established researchers whose work is essential to understanding the role of the visual in criminology and emergent thinkers whose work is taking visual criminology in new directions. This book is divided into five parts that each highlight a key aspect of visual criminology, exploring the diversity of methods, techniques and theoretical approaches currently shaping the field:â Part I introduces formative positions in the developments of visual criminology and explores the different disciplines that have contributed to analysing images.â Part II explores visual representations of crime across film, graphic art, documentary, police photography, press coverage and graffiti and urban aesthetics.â Part III discusses the relatTrade Review"This collection of original essays shows how quickly the visual landscape has become an integral part of an engaged and critical criminology. It is a breath-taking achievement and fitting testimony to the influence of the late Nicky Rafter."Piers Beirne, Professor in the Department of Criminology, Economics and Sociology, University of Southern Maine, USA"With its stress on emotion and affect, this book further extends the canon of cultural criminology and research in crime and media, developing a critically engaged approach to the study of visual imagery in criminology. Containing essays by established and emerging figures in the field, with topics ranging from formative ideas in visual criminology to emergent trends and new directions, the volume provides students, teachers and researchers with a wealth of textual and visual information. The book is premised on a view of crime images as inseparable from reality, and having a constitutive role in defining crime, determining its outcomes and consequences, and contributing to its legacies. Moreover, it suggests images of crime, punishment and control are infused with relations of power and resistance, meaning criminologists should take seriously the politics and ethics of visual representation, and consider how that might affect activism and interventions in criminal justice processes."Dr Greg Martin, Associate Professor of Socio-Legal Studies, University of Sydney, Australia, Editor of The Sociological Review and Associate Editor of Crime, Media, Culture"Brown, Carrabine and the contributing authors have produced a game-changing anthology that does more than offer incremental advances in knowledge and understanding. In situating established and emerging theoretical and methodological perspectives in a context of carefully framed ethical debate, The Routledge Handbook of Visual Criminology brings intellectual coherence to an entire subfield of study. This book should finally open mainstream Criminology’s eyes to the visually-driven nature of crime, justice and social order. It is an outstanding achievement."Professor Chris Greer, Head of the Department of Sociology and Co-Director of the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism, City, University of London, UK, and Associate Editor of Crime, Media, Culture"This is a ground-breaking collection that brings together theory, method and image across disciplines, and showcases some of the most exciting work in the burgeoning field of visual criminology. The handbook is intellectually stimulating, immensely engaging and visually stunning. It will transform the way we understand the power of the image in crime, punishment and global (in)justice. An outstanding volume and essential reading for students and scholars in criminology, sociology and media studies around the world."Professor Maggy Lee, Department of Sociology, University of Hong Kong"This is the most authoritative and comprehensive account of what has come to be known as ‘visual criminology’. Brown and Carrabine’s volume is little short of outstanding in its vision, reach and content. One would hope that in years to come this text will be discussed as a defining moment, a kind of nodal point, in the evolution of criminology’s relationship with the visual… (it) is an exceptional text, one that should be read, understood, debated and enjoyed by criminologists and other interested parties far and wide. But, crucially, it is one that they really should see, too."
