Book SynopsisMotion in Maps, Maps in Motion argues that the mapping of stories, movement, and change should not be understood as an innovation of contemporary cartography, but rather as an important aspect of human cartography with a longer history than might be assumed. The authors in this collection reflect upon the main characteristics and evolutions of story and motion mapping, from the figurative news and history maps that were mass-produced in early modern Europe, through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century flow maps that appeared in various atlases, up to the digital and interactive motion and personalized maps that are created today. Rather than presenting a clear and homogeneous history from the past up until the present, this book offers a toolbox for understanding and interpreting the complex interplays and links between narrative, motion, and maps.

Book SynopsisThis exciting collection of unpublished essays on Ernst Lubitsch addresses multiple gaps in scholarly and critical engagement with the director. His understudied early German films shed light on Jewish culture, on the relation of comedy to gender and the influence of theatre on his filmmaking. The popular historical epics brought Lubitsch an invitation to Hollywood in 1922. There, Lubitsch helped develop the film musical and notably contributed to the genre of Hollywood romantic comedy. The well-known scholarsâfilm historians, archivists, and theoristsâwhose essays appear in this volume expand our knowledge of the set designers, actors, directors and members of the emigrà community who contributed to Lubitschâs vibrant films. An emphasis on the role of material objects opens up a new dimension of critical engagement with the director. Light is shed on neglected films, and the antifascist dimension of his oeuvre brings his political stance clearly to light. As these essays make clear, Lubtischâs cinema is elusive and deserving of our close attention.

Book SynopsisThere is growing awareness about how social media circulate extreme viewpoints and turn up the temperature of public debate. Posts that exhibit agitation garner disproportionate engagement. Within this clamour, fringe sources and viewpoints are mainstreaming, and mainstream media are marginalized. This book takes up the mainstreaming of the fringe and the marginalization of the mainstream. In a cross-platform analysis of Google Web Search, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, 4chan and TikTok, the authors found that hyperpartisan web operators, alternative influencers and ambivalent commentators are in ascendency. The book can be read as a form of platform criticism. It puts on display the current state of information online, noting how social media platforms have taken on the mantle of accidental authorities, privileging their own on-platform performers and at the same time adjudicating between claims of what is considered acceptable discourse.

Book SynopsisAs the cinematic experience becomes subsumed into today's ubiquitous technologies of seeing, contemporary artworks lift the cinematic out of the immateriality of the film screen and separate it into its physical components within the gallery space. How to read these reformulations of the cinematic medium - and their critique of what it is and has been? In Theorizing Cinema Through Contemporary Art: Expanding Cinema, leading film theorists consider artworks that incorporate, restage, and re-present cinema's configuration of the key categories of space, experience, presence/absence, production and consumption, technology, myth, perception, event, and temporality, so interrogating the creation, appraisal, and evolution of film theory as channeled through contemporary art. This book takes film theory as a blueprint for the moving image, and juxtaposes it with artworks that render cinema as a material object. In the process, it unfolds a complex relationship between a theory and a practice that have commonly been seen as virtually incompatible, renewing our understanding of each and, more to the point, their interactions.

Book SynopsisVisual Culture of Post-Industrial Europe investigates visual cultural projects in Europe from the 1970s onwards in response to industrial closures, resultant unemployment, diminished social services and shattered identities. Typically, art and visual cultural creations at one-time thriving European heartlands strive to make the industrial past visible, negotiable, and re-imaginable. Authors discuss varied and multiple types of art and visual culture that remember the sometimes-invisible past, create community in the face of social disintegration, and navigate the dissonance between past and present material reality. They also examine art and visual objects at post-industrial European sites for their aesthetic, historical, and sociological role within official and unofficial, government and community regeneration and re-vitalisation efforts. Sites range from former coal and steel plants in Duisburg, through shipyards and harbours of Gdansk and Hamburg, a Moscow paper factory and textile factories in Albania, to still-functioning Croatian metalworks.

Book SynopsisThis edited collection presents fresh and original work on Vittoria Colonna, perhaps the outstanding female figure of the Italian Renaissance, a leading Petrarchist poet, and an important figure in the Italian Reform movement.

This volume comprises compelling new research by established and emerging scholars in the fields of literature, book history, religious history, and art history, including several studies of Colonnaâs influence during the Counter-Reformation, a period long neglected by Italian cultural historiography. The Colonna who emerges from this new reading is one who challenges traditional constructions of womenâs place in Italian literature: no mere imitator or follower, but an innovator and founder of schools in her own right.

Book SynopsisIn November 2016, the flight Lamia Flight 2933 crashed, claiming nearly all members of the Brazilian Chapecoense soccer team. This book provides a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond simplistic explanations. It does not accept the initial narrative of pilot imprudence but instead investigates organizational failures, regulatory oversights, and systemic pressures that created the conditions for disaster.

Book SynopsisBetween Genius and Tragedy: A Psychoanalytic Portrait of Viktor Tausk explores the intellectual trajectory and personal struggles of one of the most original and enigmatic contributors to the field, tracing both his theoretical innovations and the lived experience that shaped them.This book traces Tauskâs intellectual development and inner emotional world from his early search for identity and belonging, through his entry into the psychoanalytic movement in late 1909, his wartime work as a military psychiatrist, and ultimately to his suicide in 1919. Francisco Balbuena Rivera reconstructs his theoretical legacy on sexuality, psychosis, and repression, and examines the reasons for the delayed reception of his work in the English-speaking world. The study critically engages with prior accounts by Paul Roazen and Kurt R. Eissler, reopens debates on Freudâs alleged role in Tauskâs fate, and situates his contributions within broader psychoanalytic, ethical, and philosophical contexts. The book sheds light not only on Tausk himself, but also on broader issues of exclusion, memory, and the politics of psychoanalytic history. The book offers a nuanced portrait of one of Freud's most brilliant yet tragically overlooked disciples.This book is essential reading for academics and students of psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, and intellectual history of the twentieth century. It is also of great interest to psychoanalysts and to culturally informed readers with a sustained engagement in Freudian thought and the history of psychoanalysis.

Book SynopsisSome would argue that teaching art is merely a process of allowing children to express themselves in an understandable way, with teachers playing only a minor active role. First published in 1985, Children and Art Teaching argues that teachers can do much to foster the conditions in which children produce exciting work.Working out a strategy for teaching art is not an obvious matter, as it is for history or mathematics, which are linear subjects with a set body of work to assimilate. This book assures that teaching can be carried out skilfully and purposefully and provides guidance for teachers and trainees on how this can be achieved. Examining the different stages of a childâs growth and his developing view of the world, it discusses the consequent response a teacher might adopt. It explores curriculum building, use of materials and media as well as the actual teaching process and concludes with a chapter on evaluation and assessment.This practical guide, rich in ideas and suggestions, can only be fully valued by teachers using it to develop their own ideas, beliefs, and resultant practices.

Book SynopsisThis book is a strategic guide designed to empower professionals in one of the worldâs most technically demandingâand culturally reservedâindustries: oil and gas. Blending deep industry insight with career-building strategies and thought leadership frameworks, the book speaks directly to engineers, operators, executives, and emerging talent navigating the challenge of visibility in a traditionally humble and hierarchical sector. Drawing from Yogashri Pradhanâs lived experienceâfrom field operations to executive strategyâthe book addresses a critical yet often overlooked issue: the cost of staying invisible. While the industryâs values of humility and technical rigor have fostered safety and resilience, theyâve also left many professionalsâespecially women, early-career talent, and underrepresented voicesâundervalued or unseen. Yogashri reframes personal branding not as vanity, but as a form of leadership. Through her âœField-to-Feedâ framework, she shows how technical professionals can amplify their impact -- from pumpjacks to podiums, SCADA screens to social media, and compliance reports to conferences. A key strength of the book is its actionable toolkit for translating technical expertise into meaningful visibility. Readers learn how to craft authentic narratives that resonate across LinkedIn, pitch decks, lunch meetings, and boardrooms. Chapters on strategic networking, digital presence, and career storytelling are tailored for engineers and operators who want their work to speak louderâbut arenât sure where to begin. With exercises, case studies, and lessons from Yogashriâs brand-building journeyâincluding her work with IronLady Energy Advisors and OPX AIâthe book equips professionals with both confidence and clarity. Ultimately, this book positions branding as a catalyst for cultural change in oil and gas. It invites professionals to lead with empathy, sponsor others, and future-proof their careers amid AI disruption, energy transition, and generational shifts. Yogashriâs message is clear: you donât need a title to lead -- you need visibility, purpose, and the courage to own your story.

Book SynopsisQueer Nostalgia, Colonialism, and the Girlsâ Boarding School Novel, 1933-2023 revisits and re-evaluates the girlsâ boarding school novel from an intersectional lens. It analyses the role a queer aesthetic has played within the context of the boarding school imaginary in British and postcolonial literatures, and asks why the girlsâ boarding school is a place to which authors consistently return.Chris Roulston provides a fresh reading of how this literary subgenre engages with questions of temporality and history in ways that trouble notions of linear progression. Often bridging fiction and memoir, the boarding school narrative is typically part memory work and part social and political critique. Closely aligned with the history of colonialism and achieving its heyday as the British empire reached global domination in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the girlsâ boarding school contributed to shaping nationalist and imperialist objectives. Drawing on six boarding school novels published between 1933 and 2023, including works from Britain, India, and Australia, this study questions whether queerness and queering within the genre disrupt normative and colonial models, or whether they are in complicit alignment with the privileges the institution protects.For readers interested in queer theory, postcolonial studies, or the enduring cultural significance of boarding schools, this book offers fresh insights into a literary tradition that continues to captivate contemporary audiences.

Book SynopsisPlanning is a complex field, in which varied perspectives, politics, and potential actions are constantly negotiated. This is even more true in a changing world, in which climate change, war, inequalities, and injustices persist. Instead of proposing a single, homogenized response to key contemporary challenges, this book keeps apparent the divergent voices of people with varied levels and types of experience within the field of Planning. The key themes explored span learning, feeling, creating and acting: how social learning can and should be approached in planning; how important (dis)comfort can be in planning; what the role of arts and science can and should be in this field; and how closely academic planning research should be engaged in âœactivismâ (and what that can mean). The book serves as an empowering tool for students, practitioners, academics, and lecturers in the field of planning to find distinct voices to engage with these pressing debates and question assumptions. It delves into ongoing conversations that these actors will inevitably be grappling with via an unusual format that allows dissonance to shine through. The book includes in-depth conversations per topic, key take-aways for different audiences, further reading materials, and suggestions for continued conversations and research.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a rigorous analysis of the factors underlying the Philippinesâ relative economic stagnation compared with its Southeast Asian neighbours, despite sustained optimistic government rhetoric.Three critical factors are identified: failure to industrialise and undergo a complete economic transformation, resulting in an underdeveloped agricultural sector and an economy dependent on low-productivity services; ineffective reforms that differ markedly from successful regional models; and self-defeating fiscal conservatism that has prevented adequate investment in essential public goods and industrial policy. Using two innovative economic modelsâa macro-econometric model and an employment-education forecasting modelâthe book offers forecasts of the Philippines' income per capita, poverty, or economic structure, through 2050. The researchers warn that unless the countryâs economic policy focuses on the transformation of the economy (with emphasis on the modernization of agriculture and developing the manufacturing sector), and the government adopts a more active role, the Philippines will experience More of the Same (MOTS) during the next decades.An accessible resource for scholars, students, journalists, officials, and business professionals as an introduction to Philippine history, politics, and economy. The book will also be useful for development practitioners with its insights on structural transformation, and on fiscal and monetary policy.
