Book SynopsisThe emergence of queer theory in architecture – and its potential for a renewed ethics of design.Trade Review“At the heart of the project is an uncompromising focus on queer space and how historians, theorists, and cultural producers have attempted to define, challenge, or engender some, largely theoretical, form of queer space.

McGill-Queen's University Press Autonomous Weapons Systems and International
Book SynopsisIn Autonomous Weapons Systems and International Norms Ingvild Bode and Hendrik Huelss present an innovative analysis of how testing, developing, and using weapons systems with autonomous features shapes ethical and legal norms, arguing that they have already established standards for what counts as meaningful human control.Trade Review"This timely book offers a novel and important contribution to the emerging debate on autonomous weapons systems. Ingvild Bode and Hendrik Huelss’s study presents a fresh and original perspective. The authors skilfully analyse and depict the political, legal, and ethical challenges generated by human-machine interaction and the weaponisation of artificial intelligence." Birgit Schippers, St Mary’s University College Belfast and editor of The Routledge Handbook to Rethinking Ethics in International Relations“Ainsi que le soulignent Ingvild Bode et Hendrik Huelss, l’autonomisation des systèmes d’armes n’est pasune préoccupation futuriste mais unphénomène déjà à l’œuvre. Certaines fonctions autonomes sont déjà utilisées depuis des décennies, par exemple dansles systèmes de défense aérienne. Leur déploiement a progressivement transformé les normes d’usage de la force et de contrôle humain. Cet ouvrage est donc très pertinent pour saisir les enjeux liés à la militarisation de l’Intelligence artificielle et ses implicationspour les relations internationales engénéral.” Politique étrangère“The authors present a comprehensive analytical study of AWS and its context in an innovative, pathbreaking academic work of exemplary quality that displays outstanding knowledge of military operations and their political implications.” H-War, H-Net“Using the concept of procedural norms, the authors demonstrate that standards of appropriateness relating to the use of AWS have already emerged, despite the relative novelty of AI-powered weapons.” International Journal

McGill-Queen's University Press How to Do Things with Forms
Book SynopsisThe Oulipo is a literary think tank that brings together writers and mathematicians. This book assesses the work of the group, explores where it came from, and envisages its future. Redefining the Oulipo’s key concept of the constraint in a clear and rigorous way, Chris Andrews weighs the roles of craft and imitation in the group’s practice.Trade Review“An excellent read. Informative, challenging, vigorously stimulating, and highly inspiring. Chris Andrews presents a comprehensive study that invites the reader to want to know more about Oulipo and formalism in literature. This book enriches Oulipo's critique at the international level.” Marc Lapprand, University of Victoria and author of Pourquoi l'Oulipo?“Readers should not be fooled by the title of this work. It is not a primer on how to streamline inefficient office procedures. It is rather an impressive panoramic survey of the Oulipo (OuLiPo), a school of initially French writers who first got together in 1960 to explore the intersection of science and literature. [Oulipians] see restraints as gateways to creation in the same way that the algorithmic sonnet shape generates endless variety. Counterintuitively, in their view, forms liberate rather than enslave. They give the imagination wings to soar into the literary stratosphere. Highly recommended.” Choice

McGill-Queen's University Press Politics and the English Country House 16881800
Book SynopsisPolitics and the English Country House explores the relationship between the country house and the changing British political landscape of the eighteenth century. Essays explore how the country house was a stage for politicking, a vehicle for political advancement, and a symbol of party allegiance and political values.Trade Review“A fascinating, important, and well-crafted volume that explores architecture and collections, and their intersections with ideas, society, and varying levels of politics in new ways.” Stephen Hague, author of The Gentleman’s House in the British Atlantic World, 1680–1780 "Contributors use archival material to examine how objects were intended to be received, which tells us a great deal about how the owners wished to present themselves politically, economically, socially, and aesthetically. Such methodology contributes to the growing trend in scholarship to blend analysis of the built environment and material and visual culture displayed within it to decipher their shared intended meaning. Heritage professionals, curators, dramatists, and novelists should read this book. The discussions will enhance the conjuring of space to the modern reader, viewer, and visitor." H-Environment

University of Illinois Press The Revolt of the Black Athlete
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A useful addition to any syllabus for students of American politics or of journalism and in particular sports journalism."--Irish Independent"A must read for all scholars, activists, athletes, and sport enthusiasts. . . . Edwards commandingly expresses how the collective voices and unified actions of Black athletes can evoke institutional change. The Revolt of the Black Athlete uncovers the axiom by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that, 'a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,' even at institutions of higher education."--Billy D. Hawkins, author of The New Plantation: Black Athletes, College Sports, and Predominantly White NCAA Institutions"When whites respond to black protests with anger and resentment, unable to see the experiences of those who don't enjoy white privilege, that indicates that we have a lot of work yet to do. The re-printing of The Revolt of the Black Athlete comes at a perfect time to help us do that work and Dr. Edwards gives us an amazing example of someone who has spent his life not just talking the talk, but walking the walk."--Theresa Walton-Fisette, President of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport"What The Revolt of the Black Athlete is about, at its heart, is organizing: the slow, laborious, never-complete process of working to constitute a collectivity that can seek to contest and overthrow the conditions of its subjection." --Los Angeles Review of Books"Edward's essential position in the movement, his memory of the events, and his ability to connect them to present-day activism make this book a must-read."--Journal of Sport History"The book remains highly relevant to the current climate of athletic activism and stands out as an important piece of sport history as well as a road map for critical discussions of sport." --idrottsforum.org"If there's a book that synthesizes and gives historical context to the wave of social activism that's swept through modern sports, it's this one. . . .Through Edwards' eyes, we see the awakening of black athletes to their own power not as a surprise but as an inevitability." --The Undefeated"The book remains highly relevant to the current climate of athletic activism and stands out as an important piece of sport history as well as a road map for critical discussions of sport." --idrottsforum.org "The legendary Harry Edwards illuminates this edition with a deeply probing and personal half-century of perspectives, reflections, and wisdom. Edwards must have written this masterpiece with the assistance of a crystal ball. A generation later, it remains relevant to the current climate of athletic activism, and cannot be read without profit."--Al-Tony Gilmore, Historian and Archivist Emeritus, National Education Association "There could not be a more timely moment in history to offer a new release of this classic. This was the work, by the man, that was the most influential in leading me to do the work that I do. No other work, particularly at the time of publication, ventured to either explain or provide guidance to the athlete and society on the black athlete. La plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The name changes and subtle progress over 50 years are admitted differences, but this work remains indispensable for us all."--Kenneth L. Shropshire, author of In Black and White: Race and Sports in America "Edwards provides a unique insight and a compelling depiction of the critical race issues that generally had been ignored. This classic provocative and seminal book contributes significantly in addressing current issues facing the Black Athlete. A classic read!"--Fritz G. Polite, author of Sport, Race, Activism, and Social Change: The Impact of Dr. Harry Edwards' Scholarship and Service "The reissue of Harry Edwards's groundbreaking The Revolt of the Black Athlete is right on time. Relevant as ever, necessary reading for all, it remains a classic, a game-changer, and a roadmap for critical discussions of sport. It is a clarion call for those that straddle the difficult line between sports fan and freedom dreamer."--David J. Leonard, author of After Artest: The NBA and the Assault on Blackness

University of Illinois Press Roger Zelazny
Book SynopsisChallenging convention with the SF nonconformist Roger Zelazny combined poetic prose with fearless literary ambition to become one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 1960s. Yet many critics found his later novels underachieving and his turn to fantasy a disappointment. F. Brett Cox surveys the landscape of Zelazny's creative life and contradictions. Launched by the classic 1963 short story A Rose for Ecclesiastes, Zelazny soon won the Hugo Award for Best Novel with And Call Me Conrad and two years later won again for Lord of Light. Cox looks at the author's overnight success and follows Zelazny into a period of continued formal experimentation, the commercial triumph of the Amber sword and sorcery novels, and renewed acclaim for Hugo-winning novellas such as Home Is the Hangman and 24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai. Throughout, Cox analyzes aspects of Zelazny's art, from his preference for poetically alienated protagonists to the ways his plots reflected his determiTrade Review"Cox consistently brings great critical acumen to bear on his readings, which are sensitively attuned to Zelazny’s specifics but never lose sight of the broader literary context, and he organizes an imposing array of material in insightful and intuitive ways. He captures the excitement of Zelazny’s work, the thrill of its evolution, the astonishing panache of its heights." --Locus"Well-researched, well-organized, and well-written, this is an exemplary entry in the University of Illinois Press's Modern Masters of Science Fiction series, and it deserves the attention of all fans and scholars of Zealzny's work, and of modern sf generally." --Science Fiction Studies"Zelazny fans will enjoy comparing their opinions of various Zelazny titles with Cox’s opinions, and getting tips from Cox on worthy titles they may have overlooked." --Sandusky Register"Roger Zelazny is a thorough and sympathetic review of the life, career, and work of one of the seminal creators in science fiction and fantasy of the last half of the 20th century. It takes into account the prior work of reviewers, critics, and biographers as well as commentary by his peers and fans, from every period of his sadly shortened life and since." --SFRA Review

University of Illinois Press Buy Black
Book SynopsisBuy Black examines the role American Black women play in Black consumption in the US and worldwide, with a focus on their pivotal role in packaging Black feminine identity since the 1960s. Through an exploration of the dolls, princesses, and rags-to-riches stories that represent Black girlhood and womanhood in everything from haircare to Nicki Minaj's hip-hop, Aria S. Halliday spotlights how the products created by Black women have furthered Black women's position as the moral compass and arbiter of Black racial progress. Far-ranging and bold, Buy Black reveals what attitudes inform a contemporary Black sensibility based in representation and consumerism. It also traces the parameters of Black symbolic power, mapping the sites where intraracial ideals of blackness, womanhood, beauty, play, and sexuality meet and mix in consumer and popular culture.Trade Review"The book's clear, accessible prose and pop culture subject matter will appeal to both lay readers and scholars who want to explore Black joy, creativity, and entrepreneurship in American culture. . . . Recommended." --Choice"A compelling analysis of the role American Black women have played in consumerism and popular culture, focusing on the 1960s to now. " --Business Insider "Important and accessible, Dr. Halliday’s latest book expertly examines Black women as cultural producers and consumers and their subsequent, undeniable influence on popular culture. " --Ms. Magazine“Buy Black offers an important and well-argued consideration of the Black women cultural producers who, in an effort to subvert a misogynoiristic system, sometimes traffic in the very stereotypical practices they wish to upend. Halliday’s concept of ‘embodied objectification’ helps to make clear our own investments in consumer capitalism and prompts us to be more circumspect about our participation as a means to some ultimately unsatisfying end.”--Moya Bailey, author of Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women’s Digital Resistance "Halliday's courageous and informative concentrations will help shape a new understanding of underrepresented Black women and girls. She has much to offer as a powerful thinker and scholar." --New York Amsterdam News"A brilliant and meticulously researched exploration of how ideas about representing blackness have been essential to the story of American consumerism and popular culture. In uncovering how Black women have transformed corporate discourses of multiculturalism and diversity by inserting their own imaginations, capabilities, and desires, Buy Black provides an extraordinary feminist reading of the role of race, gender, and class in the American consumer product industry. Aria Halliday’s book is essential reading."--Mireille Miller-Young, author of A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography "A compelling analysis of the role American Black women have played in consumerism and popular culture, focusing on the 1960s to now. " --Business Insider"Important and accessible, Dr. Halliday’s latest book expertly examines Black women as cultural producers and consumers and their subsequent, undeniable influence on popular culture. " --Ms. Magazine "In focusing on Black women as culture-makers, the book provides a uniquely important view as to the ways that Black women's ingenuity and entrepreneurship have been largely overlooked in understanding these questions. I was consistently impressed with the author's ability to cast a wide net that moves across many topics, while keeping it all held together so that the shape and fit seem right."--Elizabeth Chin, author of My Life with Things: The Consumer DiariesTable of ContentsList of Figures vii Acknowledgments ix Introduction: The Making of Black Womanhood 1 1.

University of Illinois Press Surf and Rescue
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A valuable and absorbing biography, starring a forgotten founder of California beach culture." --Library Journal, starred review"It’s terrific to have such substantial research collected in a single volume with many falsehoods corrected. The fascinating part is that, despite the research that Moser has amassed, after so many years of low-flying fame, Freeth himself remains a smooth enigma." --Los Angeles Review of Books"Moser’s book will bring renewed attention to Freeth, whose contributions to surf and beach culture in California have typically been overshadowed by those of his fellow Hawaiian waterman and protege Duke Kahanamoku." --San Francisco Chronicle"It is difficult to think of the California lifestyle today without appreciating the legacies left by George Freeth. We can thank Patrick Moser for bringing this somewhat enigmatic figure to life in his excellent new book." --Southern California Quarterly"Surf and Rescue is an informative, engaging, and fascinating account of the way one man forever changed the world for the better." --Kelp Journal"That this nothing-if-not authoritative treatise on the understudied George Freeth is shockingly well researched comes as little surprise. That is what Patrick Moser is known for. Yet as rigorous as Surf and Rescue might be, the clarity of the language and the knowledge of topic--surfing--lifts this book into sheer page-turner territory."--Scott Hulet, The Surfer's Journal"Moser's book offers a well-written biography of Freeth that will be exciting and engaging to those deeply invested in the history of surfing and lifeguarding." --H-Net Reviews“Patrick Moser is an excellent historian, surf or otherwise, and with Surf and Rescue we get Moser at his very best: clear-eyed and knowledgeable, a detail man who can nimbly pull back to present the big picture. George Freeth is an undeservedly forgotten figure in American cultural history, and Patrick Moser is the right person to bring him forward.”--Matt Warshaw, author of The History of Surfing

University of Illinois Press The Digital NBA
Book SynopsisThe National Basketball Association reaches a global audience via a multiplatform strategy that leverages its uncanny ability to connect fans to all things NBA. Steven Secular brings readers inside the league's global operations and traces the history of the NBA's approach to sports media from its 1980s embrace of cable through the streaming revolution of the twenty-first century. As fans around the world stream games and other league content, NBA teams incorporate foreign languages and cultures into broadcasts to boost their product's appeal to audiences in Brazil, China, and beyond. Secular's analysis reveals how the NBA continues to transform itself into a wildly successful media producer and distributor more akin to a streaming studio than the sports leagues of old even as its media partners and sponsors erase any notion of sports as a civic good. A timely look at a dynamic media landscape, The Digital NBA shows how the games we love became content first and sport a distant secondTrade Review“The book offers a timely and original contribution to an understanding of the current, highly managed transformation of the globally differentiated access to media content. Secular convincingly argues that in many respects the NBA is a frontrunner regarding its global media strategies and thus--similar to Netflix for fictional content--can be taken as a lens into the wider marketization and mediatization of sport in a global multi-platform environment.”--Markus Stauff, University of AmsterdamTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: The International House of Hoops The Court: Event Production, Streaming Television, and the Glocalization of Live Sport The Venue: Silicon Valley, Public Finance, and the Arena as Media Platform The Wires: Dark Fiber, Satellites, and the Global Infrastructures of Streaming Sport The Office: The NBA’s Executive Operation as a Global Media Empire The Couch: At-Home Sport Spectatorship and the Multiplatform Viewing Environment Conclusion: The House That Hoops Built Notes Index

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewOrganized as a 'walk through time' and featuring species from 15 important fossil sites, this book is the most extensive and richly illustrated volume devoted exclusively to the Cenozoic mammals of South America. * BirdBooker Report *Horned Armadillos and Rafting Monkeys is a magnificent book, with splendid and exacting illustrations, a necessary update between two covers for specialists as well as for palaeontologists unfamiliar with South America. It is also an accessible book for the educated public. Darin Croft's writing project is unquestionably useful. Velizar Simeonovski has proposed a daunting challenge to the next generation of illustrators. -- Ephraim Nissan * Priscum, The Newsletter of the Palentological Society *This handsome book, written by a leading expert in South American paleontology, is profusely illustrated with maps, time charts, color photographs of fossils, and exquisite life reconstructions. The book is accessible to the general reader, and it will appeal to any individual, young and old alike, interested in the fossil record, as well as to students and scholars of paleontology who work in other parts of the globe. * Choice *An expert in fossil mammals from South America, this is Croft's magnum opus on his life's passion. * Twilight Beasts *"Given the wealth of unfamiliar animals the volume presents, even readers well versed in vertebrate biodiversity willnd it rewarding." * The Quarterly Review of Biology *"It is by far the best and most satisfying book-sized work that looks at South America's extinct fauna so far, and it is unique in its depth of coverage and quality of content. I encourage you to get hold of a copy yourself." * Scientific American Blog Network *"All these considerations make this book a great source of information for the non-specialist, and a nice summary for those researchers looking for a synthesis of Cenozoic South American fossil sites." * J Mammal Evol *Horned Armadillos and Rafting Monkeys is an excellent work that will be of interest to anyone that appreciates the extraordinary world of extinct and living mammals, extinction processes, and the loss of biodiversity, and the unique natural history of South America. The combination of scientific information and vivid paleoart reconstructions makes this book a valuable source for an appreciation of these ancient beasts and the ecosystems in which they lived. * Oxford University Press Journals *Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgments1.

Indiana University Press InsUrgent Media from the Front
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Chris Robé and Stephen Charbonneau's edited collection InsUrgent Media from the Front: A Media Activism Reader proposes that 'visibility is clearly not enough' when it comes to media activism. Their attention to media studies' emphasis on technologies over practices helps focus media activism on an actual practice of activism rather than a detached understanding of activist media as cultural artifact. As they argue, media production, distribution, and exhibition "often serve as a means to activism rather than an ends." In an era of hactivism and slacktivism, this volume makes a powerful reminder of the purpose of media activism and its urgency today, particularly as democracy is threatened in places like India and the United States."—Dale Hudson, author of Thinking through Digital Media: Transnational Environments and Locative Places"The 'personal is political' has become so trite, it is co-opted by the right. InsUrgent Media from the Front traces the ethos of intersectional and indigenous politics historically and transnationally through the personal experiences of activists fighting to represent their struggles. It is urgent to understand the through lines of these alternative, activist and community media if we want to prevent social movements from becoming just another meme."—Vicki Mayer, author of Almost Hollywood, Nearly New Orleans: The Lure of the Local Film EconomyTable of ContentsForeword.

Indiana University Press The Yoruba
Book SynopsisIn The Yoruba: A New History, Akinwumi Ogundiran examines the development of the ideas and practices that have shaped the Yoruba identity and experience going back as far as AD 800.Trade ReviewThe Yorùbá: A New History by Akinwumi Ogundiran is an excellent compendium of Yorùbá studies focused on the period from 300 BC to AD 1840. The result is a "new history" of the Yorùbá born from systematic methods of research, inference, and interpretation that fit together knowledge from oral history, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology. The author's creative blend of methods, theories, models, and approaches establishes the concept of the book as a new cultural history of the Yorùbá. -- O. Lasisi * African Archaeological Review *The Yoruba: A New History is daring in scope and ambition and takes to task canonical stories of Yorùbá history. It is engaging and crosses datasets, making the case for a study of the deeper past that goes beyond the information oered by recent historical texts and the often-sober archaeological data. In this, Akin Ogundiran has written a book to be warmly welcomed by archaeologists. -- Anne Haour * AZANIA: ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN AFRICA *Table of ContentsDedicationList of IllustrationsList of TablesList of AppendicesGlossary of Yorùbá wordsPrefaceAcknowledgmentI.
