Book SynopsisAn essential collection of scholarly essays on the anthropology of Africa, offering a thorough introduction to the most important topics in this evolving and diverse field of study The study of the cultures of Africa has been central to the methodological and theoretical development of anthropology as a discipline since the late 19th-century. As the anthropology of Africa has emerged as a distinct field of study, anthropologists working in this tradition have strived to build a disciplinary conversation that recognizes the diversity and complexity of modern and ancient African cultures while acknowledging the effects of historical anthropology on the present and future of the field of study. A Companion to the Anthropology of Africa is a collection of insightful essays covering the key questions and subjects in the contemporary anthropology of Africa with a key focus on addressing the topics that define the contemporary discipline. Written and edited by a team of leading cultural anTrade ReviewAnyone who teaches the Anthropology of Africa, or indeed Anthropology in general, will want to add this volume to their library without replacing either of those earlier ones. Qualitatively speaking, it is a valuable addition. ... This volume offers a compelling Companion to topics in Africanist Anthropology, past and present – and a well-founded argument for the continued value of the discipline. Amidst all the heated debate about the present and future of anthropology, about who should do it and how it should be done, ... the Companion proves that there is still a great deal to be said for what critical ethnography, securely situated in its historical context and adequately theorized, can and should do.

Book SynopsisFrontier Assemblagesoffers a new framework for thinking about resource frontiers in Asia Presents an empirical understanding of resource frontiers and provides tools for broader engagements and linkages Filled with rich ethnographic and historical case studies and contains contributions from noted scholars in the field Explores the political ecology of extraction, expansion and production in marginal spaces in Asia Maps the flows, frictions, interests and imaginations that accumulate in Asia to transformative effect Brings together noted anthropologists, geographers and sociologists Trade Review'Cons and Eilenberg’s Frontier Assemblages is a collection of richly textured essays tracing the incorporation of remote areas into new territorial formations in the context of Asia. Framed through the notion of assemblage, the collection speaks to the complexity, lability, and nonlinearity of these transformative processes. It will be essential reading for border scholars and specialists of Asia alike.'Franck Billé, University of California, Berkeley 'This fascinating collection sheds new light on the varied dynamics of frontier-making across a diverse and sometimes surprising set of spaces in Asia. It is especially strong on frontier temporalities of anticipation and ruin, and on the productive (not just extractive) work of resource frontiers. Frontier Assemblages is highly stimulating, analytically rich, and not to be missed.'

Book SynopsisBoth theoretically informed and empirically rich,Defensible Space makes an important conceptual contribution to policy mobilities thinking, to policy and practice, and also to practitioners handling of complex spatial concepts. Critically examines the geographical concept Defensible Space, which has beeninfluential in designing out crime to date, and has beenapplied to housing estates in the UK, North America, Europe and beyond Evaluates themovement/mobility/mobilisation of defensible spacefrom the US to the UK and into English housing policyandpractice Exploresthe multiple ways the concept of defensible space was interpreted and implemented, as it circulated from national to local level and within particular English housing estates Critiquing and pushing forwards work on policy mobilities, the authors illustrate for the first time how transfer mechanisms worked at both a policy and practitioner level DrawiTrade Review‘Design against crime? What could be better! This compelling story of where ‘defensible space’ came from, how the idea has changed, and what difference it has made to cities and social life is unputdownable. It turns on a riveting account of the individuals who championed (and some who resisted) the concept – a band of unlikely influencers whose mix of conviction, charisma and common sense became embedded in domestic space.’Susan J. Smith, Mistress of Girton College and Honorary Professor of Social and Economic Geography, University of Cambridge, UK‘This book by Loretta Lees and Elanor Warwick is essentially a great detective story – a whodunnit of how allegedly research-based theory can translate into policy and ultimately into accepted practice. There is a cast of many well-known characters whose interaction on the question of whether physical determinism can affect human behaviour is rich and fascinating. With planning and urban design again at the centre of politics, this book is an essential source.’Ben Derbyshire, Chair of HTA Design LLP, Former Past President of RIBA and Historic England Commissioner‘Rarely do I savour a book with such enthusiasm, absorbed by the detail and delighted by the presentation. This is the missing text that I have craved – a text that explains, in meticulous detail, how the rather abstract concept of Defensible Space managed to jump the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge and successfully embed itself into practice.’Rachel Armitage, Professor of Criminology, University of Huddersfield, UK ‘Defensible Space on the Move is a fine historiography based on meticulous research and a forensic investigative approach to its subject matter. The book will appeal to a broad readership, including academic researchers, policy makers, students, and lay people. The book is seminal in its careful documentation, and discussion, of one of the more important ideas about what the good city is or ought to be. Through a careful assembling of material, the authors have elevated, and enhanced, the understanding about policy mobilities, in which the fluid, often contradictory, and messy nature of practice is highlighted.’Rob Imrie (reviewing in Buildings & Cities) Table of ContentsList of Figures vi List of Tables viii Glossary of Acronyms ix Series Editors’ Preface xi Acknowledgements xii Preface xiii 1 Defensible Space: An Introduction 1 2 Defensible Space Is Mobilised in England 32 3 Defensible Space Goes on Trial but Attracts Those in Power 64 4 Operationalising Defensible Space 102 Case Study ‘ The Mozart Estate: A Laboratory for Defensible Space’ 141 5 Evaluations of Defensible Space 156 6 The Uptake and Resilience of Defensible Space Ideas 187 7 Defensible Space: A Common Sense, Middle-range Theory 219 References 251 Index 279

Book SynopsisThe contributors to this volume interrogate the labour/capital relation exploring the ways in which industrial outsourcing and subcontracting transform the conditions, possibilities and politics of work. Discusses the effects of economic deregulation on agricultural economies and on local markets Investigates the manner in which migration changes understandings of productive power in places that once depended on the physical and social energies of people who now labour elsewhere Shows how the appearance and/or disappearance of waged work alters not only the foundational notions of the relationship between productive and reproductive labour, but also of personhood, citizenship and place Deploys the concept of dislocation to extend the repertoire of labour analysis beyond that of dispossession and/or disorganization Argues that a renewed focus on labour,' as both a social category and a social practice, offers a window for grasping key Table of ContentsNotes on contributors‘Introduction.

Book SynopsisHow is it that, in the course of everyday life, people are drawn away from greenspace experiences that are often good for them? By attending to the apparently idle talk of those who are living them out, this book shows us why we should attend to the processes involved. Develops an original perspective on how greenspace benefits are promoted Shows how greenspace experiences can unsettle the practices of everyday life Draws on several years of field research and over 180 interviews Makes new links between geographies of nature and the study of social practices Uses a focus on social practices to reimagine the research interview Offers a wealth of suggestions for future researchers in this field Trade Review"In this perceptive, original and timely intervention, Russell Hitchings shows that the potential benefits of greenspace use will not be realised without consideration of how it interacts with the practices of everyday life. Distinguished by its crystal-clear prose, The Unsettling Outdoors also provides a passionate defence of the interview method in the social sciences."—Lesley Head, Professor of Geography, University of Melbourne, Australia "Russell Hitchings' revealing interviews with office workers, recreational runners, garden owners, and festival campers show how distinctions between controlled indoor environments and 'the great outdoors' are enacted in practice. The result is a book that promises to transform long-standing debates about relations between people and the plants, trees and microbes with which they live."—Elizabeth Shove, Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK "With a down-to-earth style, Hitchings' work embodies urban geography at its best – rooted in creativity, reflexivity, theoretical insight without dogma, and a deep attentiveness to the entanglements of human and beyond-human worlds. The book is not only a valuable resource for researchers and students in geography, planning and the built environment, but also a fascinating and engaging read."—Sarah Royston (reviewing in Buildings & Cities)Table of ContentsSeries Editors’ Preface viii Acknowledgements ix 1 A Wager and a Strategy 1 2 Taking an Interest in the Everyday Lives of Others 25 3 Forgetting the Outdoors: Inside the Office 47 4 Avoiding the Outdoors: On the Treadmill 71 5 Succumbing to the Outdoors: In the Garden 96 6 Embracing the Outdoors: At the Festival 120 7 Conclusion 145 Index 164

Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1972,The Development of Kant''s Ethics isKeith Ward''s exceptional analysis of the history of Kant''s ideas on ethics and the emergence of Kantian ethics as a mature theory. Through a thorough overview of all of Kant''s texts written between 1755 and 1804, Ward puts forth the argument that the critical literature surrounding Kantian ethics has underplayed Kant''s concern with the role of happiness in relation to morality and the significance of the tradition of natural law for the development of Kantian ethics. Covering all of Kant''s extant works from Nova Dilucidatio to Opus Postumum, Ward traces the progression of Kant''s views from his early ideas on Rationalism to Moral Sense Theory and the development of Critical Philosophy, and finally to his later-life writings on the relationship between morality and faith. Through careful analysis of each of Kant''s works, Ward details the scientific, philosophical, and theological ideas Table of ContentsPreface v List of Textual References vii One: The Rationalist Background I.

Book SynopsisA Companion to Martin Scorsese A Companion to Martin ScorseseThis valuable book brings the exceptional scale of Martin Scorsese's film work into clear view. His achievements are monumental, and the essays collected in this work provide wonderfully detailed and vivid analyses of his oeuvre. A comprehensive study of the most exciting filmmaker working today.Robert Burgoyne, University of St AndrewsA Companion to Martin Scorsese, Revised Edition is a comprehensive collection of original essays assessing the career of one of America's most prominent contemporary filmmakers. The first reference work of its kind, this book contains contributions from influential scholars in North America and Europe. The essays use a variety of analytic approaches to study numerous aspects of Scorsese's work, from his earliest films to his place within the history of American and world cinema. They consider his work in relation to auteur theory, the genres in which he has worked, his use of popular music, and his recent involvement with film preservation. Several of the essays offer fresh interpretations of some of Scorsese's most influential films, including Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, Gangs of New York, Hugo, and The Irishman. Others take a broader approach and discuss the representation of violence, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender, race, and other themes across his work. With insights that will interest film scholars as well as movie enthusiasts, this is an important contribution to the scholarship of contemporary American cinema.Table of ContentsContributors ix Introduction: Artistic Solutions to Sociological Problems 1Aaron Baker Part One The Pious Auteur 15 1 How Scorsese Became Scorsese: A Historiography of New Hollywood’s Most Prestigious Auteur 17Marc Raymond 2 Smuggling Iconoclasm: European Cinema and Scorsese’s Male Antiheroes 38Giorgio Bertellini and Jacqueline Reich 3 Italian Films, New York City Television, and the Work of Martin Scorsese 53Laura E.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Something of an instant classic, Stolen Cars pins its researcher’s sights on the moving targets selected by the thieves and robbers of Sao Paulo’s criminal networks. Those expecting only underworld revelations are quickly re-educated to see how acts of illicit acquisition form part of a more complex and vast urban economy whose shadow embraces both the formal and the illicit. Stolen Cars is a detailed, complex and exciting story with an intellectual energy that matches the turbo-charged vehicles so prized by Sao Paulo’s thieves.’Rowland Atkinson, Research Chair in Inclusive Societies, University of Sheffield, UK‘This book should be an instant classic. Theft and crime shape urban livelihoods and everyday experiences in many cities, at the frontiers of often extreme inequality. But these themes are absent from the canon of urban theory. Through a detailed ethnography of car theft in Sao Paulo, Stolen Cars traces the deep ties of these illegal circuits with insurance, finance, auto production and repair, as well as the international drug trade. A highly innovative account of crucial transnational networks shaping urban life and urban economies, this book represents an essential new starting point for global urban studies.’ Jennifer Robinson, Professor of Geography, University College London, UKTable of Contents Notes on Contributors viii Series Editors’ Preface x Introduction 1 Gabriel Feltran A Phone Call 7 A Global Market 9 Theoretical Framework: Normative Regimes 11 Inequalities 18 Methods: About Journeys, Tacking, and Our Collaborative Research Team 21 A Collective Research Team 27 Ethical Issues, Diversity, and Typical Days 29 Chapter Structure 31 1 Crime, Violence, and Inequality in São Paulo 37 Gregorio Zambon and Gabriel Feltran 7 a.m. (Fiat Strada) 39 10:00 a.m. (Hyundai HB20) 43 5:15 p.m. (Fiat Palio) 47 8:40 p.m. (Ford Ka) 53 Urban Violence and Market Regulation 56 2 State Reaction 63 Gabriel Feltran Police Use of Lethal Force 66 Imprisonment 74 The “Clearing of Public Roads” 78 Political Legitimation 80 3 Designing the Market 87 Deborah Fromm Insurance as a Mediator 94 The Automobile Business: From the Streets of São Paulo to the Panama Papers 99 4 Auctions and Mechanisms 104 André de Pieri Pimentel and Luiz Gustavo Simão Pereira Central Circuits: Insurance Companies that Sell at Auctions 109 Some Numbers 111 Marginal Circuits: Car Dealerships and Chop-shops that Buy at Auctions 115 Auctioneers: Economics and Politics 121 5 Dismantling a Stolen Car 127 Isabela Vianna Pinho, Gregório Zambon, and Lucas Alves Fernandes Silva Family, Market, Politics 130 Between Extremes: From “Recicla” to “Sheds” 135 Prices and Stratification 143 6 Regulating an Illegal Market 147 Luana Motta, Janaina Maldonado, and Juliana Alcântara A Brief Chronology of the Dismantling Law 149 Old Practices, New “Political Merchandise”: The Everyday Experience of the Dismantling Law 152 The Political Centrality of Police Officers 158 Police Regulation and Violence 161 7 Not Criminals, Legislators 165 Deborah Fromm and Luana Motta New Laws, New Markets 169 Illegal Markets, Microfinance, Corporate Philanthropy 171 Action and Reaction 174 Parallel Insurance and the Protection Market 175 The Law that Governs the Market, the Market that Governs the Law 181 8 Globalization and Its Backroads 187 André de Pieri Pimentel, Gabriel Feltran, and Lucas Alves Fernandes Silva A Global Market and Its Margins 190 Connecting Markets 194 Urban Reconfigurations 198 North–South Urban Inequalities 202 Conclusions 208 Gabriel Feltran Afterword: Following Cars in a Latin American Metropolis: Inequality, Illegalisms, and Formalization 220 Daniel Veloso Hirata References 228 Index 245

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Comparative Urbanism fully transforms the scope and purpose of urban studies today, distilling innovative conceptual and methodological tools. The theoretical and empirical scope is astounding, enlightening, emboldening. Robinson peels away conceptual labels that have anointed some cities as paradigmatic and left others as mere copies. She recalibrates overly used theoretical perspectives, resurrects forgotten ones long in need of a dusting off, and brings to the fore those often marginalised. Robinson’s approach radically re-distributes who speaks for the urban, and which urban conditions shape our theoretical understandings. With Comparative Urbanism in our hands, we can start the practice of urban studies anywhere and be relevant to any number of elsewheres.’Jane M. Jacobs, Professor of Urban Studies, Yale-NUS College, Singapore ‘How to think the multiplicity of urban realities at the same time, across different times and rhythmic arrangements; how to move with the emergences and stand-stills, with conceptualisations that do justice to all things gathered under the name of the urban. How to imagine comparatively amongst differences that remain different, individualised outcomes, but yet exist in-common. No book has so carefully conducted a specifically urban philosophy on these matters, capable of beginning and ending anywhere.’AbdouMaliq Simone, Senior Research Fellow, Urban Institute, University of Sheffield ‘Jenny Robinson’s strong belief in the need to experiment with comparative methods, theories and concepts in urban studies for ‘a globally diverse urban’ has long inspired many of us. In this book, she takes this plea forward in a comprehensive journey through philosophy, anthropology and geography. Her wonderful voice in this book takes the reader by the hand through a landscape of ideas and a heartfully felt passion for comparative urbanism. Written by one of the most original geographers of our times, it provides resources to make interdisciplinary scholarship work by drawing on many theoretical angles from various corners of the field of social sciences and humanities. It is a must-read for all of us interested in that ‘impossible’ object of our studies, the urban, whether we are starting to explore this field of study or share the dearly felt need to re-imagine our central concepts in this rapidly changing world.’Talja Blokland, Department of Social Sciences, Humboldt-University of Berlin Table of Contents Series Editors’ Preface Preface ix Introduction 1 Part I Reformatting Comparison 23 1 Ways of Knowing the Global Urban 25 Uncertain Territories, ‘Strategic Essentialisms’: Regions, the Global South and beyond 27 The Disappearing City: Planetary Urbanisation and its Critics 35 Decolonial, Developmental, Emergent: Different Starting Points, or Incomparability? 41 Dimensions of a Comparative Urban Imagination 47 Conclusion 50 2 The Limits of Comparative Methodologies in Urban Studies 53 Some Analytical Limits to the ‘World’ of Cities: Beyond Incommensurability 54 Conventional Strategies for Comparison in Urban Studies 57 The Potential of Comparative Research 69 Conclusion 76 3 Comparative Urbanism in the Archives: Thinking with Variety, Thinking with Connections 79 Expanding the Comparative Gesture 80 Thinking with Variety 83 Stretching Comparisons: Thinking with Connections 91 Conclusion 104 4 Thinking Cities through Elsewhere: Reformatting Comparison 107 Thinking with Concrete Totalities 108 Singularities, Repeated Instances, Concepts 119 Genetic and Generative Grounds for Urban Comparisons 125 Conclusion: From Grounds to Tactics 128 Part II Genetic Comparisons 135 5 Connections 137 Connections as Urbanisation Processes 138 Connections Producing Repeated Instances 146 Every Case Matters 154 Conclusion 159 6 Relations 161 Wider Processes 164 Urban Neoliberalisation, Comparatively 171 Connected Contexts 186 More Spatialities of the Urban: Topologies, Partial Connections, Submarine Relations 191 Conclusion 195 Part III Generative Comparisons 199 7 Generating Concepts 201 The Conceptualising Subject: Institutions, Horizons, Grounds 204 A Life of Concepts: Ideal Types 217 Thinking the ‘Concrete’ 230 Negotiated Universals: Concepts ‘In-common’ 235 Conclusion 243 8 Composing Comparisons 247 Working with ‘Conjuncture’ 249 Conceptualising from Specificity 263 Thinking across Diversity 271 Conclusion 276 9 Conversations 279 Shifting Grounds: Comparison as Practice 280 Comparison as Conversations 284 Theoretical Reflections 292 Mobile Concepts, or ‘Arriving at’ Concepts 295 Conclusion 301 Part IV Thinking from the Urban as Distinctive 305 10 Territories 307 Thinking from Territories 308 Which Territorialisations? 312 Assembling Territories 320 Conclusion 325 11 Into the Territory, or, the Urban as Idea 329 Detachment 331 Suturing 336 Standstill 340 Ideas 346 Informality, as Idea 357 Conclusion 362 Conclusion: Starting Anywhere, Thinking with (Elsew)here 369 A Reformatted Urban Comparison 370 Conceptualisation 376 An Explosion of Urban Studies 383 References 387 Index 441
