Book SynopsisThis book addresses the artistic phenomenon of âœWhistlerismâ, originated by the American painter James McNeill Whistler, and sheds light on this movementâs origins, its history and its wide-ranging impact on literature, poetry, art criticism, design and art philosophy.Whistlerâs students and followers adopted the artistâs visual language and helped to spread his work and his artistic theories during the late 19th century and early 20th century. The enduring nature of Whistlerism and its influence internationally allows it to be seen as a major artistic trend in Europe and the USA. The notion of Whistlerism offers a new prism to explore the history of art at the turn of the century. The particularity of this artistic phenomenon is that it emerged during the artistâs lifetime and held sway over international contemporary art, literature and art criticism between 1878 â which marks the date of Ruskin's trial and the starting point of the myth of the artist, marked by the emergence of various adjectives, such as âœWhistlerianâ â and the beginnings of the Great War.This book presents the latest research on Whistlerism and introduces new perspectives on this subject throughout a range of chapters written by internationally recognized specialists of the painter. The topics deal with the visual arts as well as with literature and art criticism, but also with design, objects, scenography and the art of gardening.This collection is ideal for researchers in modern art, design and visual studies.

Book SynopsisAntisemitism and Sexism: Ideological Constellations Before and After 7 October analyses the manifold ways in which antisemitism and sexism appear not as isolated ideologies but as intersecting ones, exploring their historical, social, political, economic, and psychological constellations. Drawing on Critical Theory, the book offers a comparative historical analysis of these entanglements from nineteenth-century Europeâparticularly Germany and Austriaâthrough National Socialism and its preconditions, to the historical and contemporary formations of Islamism. The sexist antisemitism of 7 October and its aftermath are examined as a contemporary eruption of these enduring ideological patterns, while Critical Theory itself is sharpened in light of these events.Structured around distinct analytical dimensions, the book opens with a theoretically dense examination of the damaged relationship between human beings and nature under modern labour society, identified by Critical Theory as a key source of both antisemitism and sexism. Subsequent chapters analyse the contradictory constructions of Judaism and femininity, the relation between body and mind, and socially regulated forms of sexuality. Conspiracy myths linking weakness and omnipotence, the psychosocial roots of authoritarian dispositions, and the embedding of these ideologies in specific formations of capitalist modernity and repressive communities are examined in turn. The book also offers a critical examination of intersectional feminist antisemitism in the aftermath of 7 October and advances a proposal to reformulate intersectionality as an ideology-critical framework for a feminist critique of antisemitism.This book will be of interest to scholars of gender studies, feminism, Critical Theory, history, and antisemitism studies.

Book SynopsisThis book specifically situates the concept of âcareâ within those practices and discourses which are the entangled relationships of architecture and the humanities.The book presents responses to such questions as: How can care inhere in the ecologies of modes of representation that we use to design and communicate architecture? Who is caring for whom/what in activist practices of urban development? How can we understand the very situated potential of professional practice and its political nature to engender caring forms of âdoingâ architecture? What are the expanded ecologies of buildings for care (such as educational and healthcare facilities) and how do they acknowledge the particularities of usersâ situations? It is the inter- and transdisciplinary nature of the crisscrossing of architecture and the humanities which permeate the works presented in the book, bringing together an international collection of thinkers and makers to respond response-ably, with care, through the specificities of architectural thought.This book brings together developed works from a geographically diverse set of contributors, which as a collection offers insights into the possibilities of careâs insinuation into the breadth of what we might label âarchitectureâ in very different international cultural settings.

Book SynopsisThis book offers a novel anthropological account of how European Unionâs research, development, and innovation projects are imagined, enacted, and experienced through actual project practice. In contrast to the majority of existing literature, which focuses on management techniques, performance metrics, or policy frameworks, this book brings into focus the overlooked everyday realities of project life: its unwritten rules, social rituals, symbolic capital, and linguistic choreography. Drawing on over fifteen years of immersive fieldwork and guided by Pierre Bourdieuâs theory of practice and Goffmanâs dramaturgy, the book reveals how dominant project concepts like âœinnovation,â âœimpact,â and âœsustainabilityâ are collectively constructed and reproduced, often becoming performative illusions that serve institutional interests.Methodologically, the book employs critical ethnography and discourse analysis, weaving theory with rich narrative vignettes (e.g., from the dramaturgy of meetings to the peculiar semiotics of email communication), illuminating the human and symbolic dimensions of EU projects. It introduces the concept of âœLingua EUâ, a tribal language that distinguishes experienced practitioners from novices and sustains the illusion of coherence in a fragmented project landscape. This book contributes to contemporary debates in anthropology, critical policy analysis, and higher education studies by offering not only critique but also a deeply reflexive tool for scholars, students, and practitioners. It invites readers to rethink the cultural infrastructures of European collaboration and project work, making it uniquely valuable as both an academic intervention and a practical companion for those navigating through the EU project world.

Book SynopsisAemilia Lanyer as Shakespeareâs Rival Poet explores Shakespeareâs sonnet series and A Loverâs Complaint, both published in 1609. These poems are viewed in their historical context: in particular, in the context of Shakespeareâs patron. Through this prism, the patronâs relationship with âœbothâ his poets (Sonnet 83) - the Bard and his Rival â are reviewed. Against linguistic logic, most scholars have dismissed the problematic interchangeability of the second-person address modes (ie. You/Thou) found in the Shakespeareâs Sonnets (1609). In contrast, this book examines these two address modes as a primary identification of two distinct styles and personalities. While multiple authorship of The Sonnets was toyed with a century ago, none were based on objective criteria and none suggested only two poets. This approach opens-up an exciting treasure chest of biographical material in the 154 sonnets, but it requires shedding some preconceptions about Shakespeare and exploring the authorship question. As a contribution to the debate about Shakespeareâs Sonnets, this book is for researchers in Shakespeare studies and Early-Modern English Literature more broadly.

Book SynopsisUnmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism unveils a critical gap in current safety thinking: safety is not solely an individual responsibility, but a social outcome that entails collective action and thinking. Focusing on individual responsibility often translates into individual blame (most often called accountability) and is usually accompanied by a reluctance to recognize the psychosocial harm that leads to physical and emotional injuries. The cost of this oversimplification is that we miss the crucial role of psychological well-being and social dynamics.This book encourages us not to dismiss the importance of safety management systems, but to expose their limitations. Along with practical pointers, it advocates for a relationship-centered evolution that prioritizes human connection to break through the current status quo and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. The focus on relationship-centered leadership and the critique of an exclusively individualistic or physical focus is timely and relevant. The book challenges leaders to rethink their approach to safety, moving beyond over-reliance on individual responsibility and embracing a relationship-centered model that fosters collective action and psychological wellbeing. It provides a blueprint where leaders act as catalysts for change, guiding and supporting their teams to achieve shared safety goals. Unlike traditional approaches, this book explores the crucial role of social dynamics and relational leadership in creating truly safe workplaces. It offers specific strategies for fostering communication and building trust. Additionally, this book provides valuable insights into the role of OHS advisors from a social perspective. It explores how leaders can effectively leverage the H&S function by understanding the challenges OHS professionals face in influencing organizational culture. Finally, it offers practical advice and strategies for executives and managers as well as for OHS advisors on navigating hierarchical structures and effectively drive safety improvements.This book is written for all safety leaders, executives and safety professionals. It could also have a role in supplementary reading for graduate programs.
