nexusstc/Hydrofictions: Water, Power and Politics in Israeli and Palestinian Literature/75c73547291d21ed8655a02939f69746.pdf

Hydrofictions : Water, Power and Politics in Israeli and Palestinian Literature Hannah Boast Edinburgh University Press Ltd, 1, 2020

## Places water at the centre of a new approach to literary criticism * Contributes to debates within literary studies on the environmental humanities, national literatures and ‘cli-fi’ * Brings together approaches from literary studies, cultural geography and world politics * Adds a new ecocritical dimension to scholarship on Israeli and Palestinian literatures * Covers a broad range of contemporary Israeli and Palestinian authors including Mourid Barghouti, Sayed Kashua and Amos Oz Water is a major global issue that will shape our future. Rarely, however, has water been the subject of literary critical attention. This book identifies water as a crucial new topic of literary and cultural analysis at a critical moment for the world’s water resources, focusing on the urgent context of Israel/Palestine. It argues for the necessity of recognising water’s vital importance in understanding contemporary Israeli and Palestinian literature, showing that water is as culturally significant as that much more obvious object of nationalist attention, the land. In doing so, it offers new insights into Israeli and Palestinian literature and politics, and into the role of culture in an age of environmental crisis. __Hydrofictions__ shows that how we imagine water is inseparable from how we manage it. This book is urgent and necessary reading for students and scholars in Middle East Studies, postcolonial ecocriticism, the environmental humanities and anyone invested in the future of the world’s water.

James Boswell, The Journals in Scotland, England and Ireland, 1766-1769 James Boswell (editor); Hugh Milne (editor) Edinburgh University Press, The Yale Editions of the Private Papers of James Boswell, 2023

## A fully annotated Research Edition volume of James Boswell’s journals This volume, eleventh in the Yale Boswell Editions Research Series of correspondence, is of James Boswell’s journals (including memoranda and notes for journals) in Scotland, England and Ireland from the autumn of 1766 to May 1769. The journals covered by the volume record much of Boswell’s life as a young advocate during the first few years of his practice at the Scottish bar. The journals also record much information about Boswell’s composition and publication of his instant best-seller, __Account of Corsica__, his involvement as a volunteer for the Douglas camp in the great Douglas Cause and his search for a wife. During Boswell’s visits to London and Oxford in 1768, he produced some of his finest journal-writing, including details of memorable and significant conversations with Samuel Johnson. The manuscript journals in the volume have been printed to correspond to the originals as closely as is feasible in the medium of print.

The eye of the cinematograph : Lévinas and realisms of the body Keyvan Manafi Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, [N.p.], 2023

#### Explores the encounter between Emmanuel Levinas’ ethical thought and aesthetic realisms of the body * Presents an interdisciplinary approach that brings together film studies, philosophies of ethics, cultural studies and critical theory to contribute to the fields of film-philosophy and cinematic thinking * Expands the existing enquiries into the consequences of Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophy for aesthetics and draws out a new encounter between his ethical thought and film * Makes a case for the hospitality of the cinematic image by investigating its unique visual being as a gift and proposes an affirmative account of the ethics of the cinematograph through discussions of cinematic realism __The Eye of the Cinematograph__ investigates the ethical and aesthetic implications of the automatic formation of the body’s image by the camera. Drawing on Emmanuel Levinas’ thought, Manafi asks what happens when the other makes their body available to the gaze of the camera to be automatically recorded, and this giving of the body is preserved within the image, juxtaposed with other images to allude to a story that might otherwise remain untold. To locate the ethical at this intersection of the body and the aesthetic, this book articulates an ethical account of a diverse range of film theories to demonstrate alternative encounters with the other that realisms of the body offer. Manafi discusses works by Chantal Akerman, Bruno Dumont, Pedro Costa, Gus Van Sant, Sohrab Shahid Saless, Abbas Kiarostami, Amir Naderi, Jafar Panahi, Carlos Reygadas and Andy Warhol to make a case for the ethics and aesthetics of incompleteness and performative failure.

Autologic (Information and Technology, No 9) Neil Tennant Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh information technology series ;, 9, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, 1992

This book has evolved from the author's theory that if it is possible to teach students reasonable methods for finding proofs (in a system of natural deduction), then it should also be possible to express those methods in a programming language, and program on a computer the effective skills taught in logic courses. He rejected classical logic and, in his book ''Anti-realism and Logic'', gave arguments in favour of a system he called ''intuitionistic relevant logic''. He found that working within that system he could find proofs more easily because of the constraint of relevance between their premisses and their conclusions. A report on natural deduction based sub-classical computational logic, this book should be of interest to computational logicians, proof theorists, cognitive scientists, workers in artificial intelligence and the Prolog and logic programming community

Greek Athletics Jason König Edinburgh University Press, 1, 2019-07-31

Athletic training and athletic competition were key features of ancient Greek life for more than 1,000 years, from the foundation of the Olympic festival in the eighth century BC into the Roman period. Recent years have seen an enormous growth in scholarship on the subject, and in undergraduate teaching, but many seminal articles remain inaccessible, especially to English-speaking readers. This volume brings together for the first time a collection of important pieces and extracts on core themes, covering gymnasium education, festival competition and victory, the role of athletic activity in conceptions of ancient identity, and the reception of the ancient athletic heritage in the modern world. Features Four of the twelve pieces are translated for the first time from French and German contains an extensive introduction covering key issues for study and research brief editorial discussions of each of the articles are included.

Transscalar Critique : Climate, Blackness, Crisis Henry Ivry Edinburgh University Press, 1, 1, 2023

#### Contemporary African American writing negotiates the twinned crises of anthropogenic climate change and anti-Black violence by thinking in new ways about scale * Uses Black Studies and African American literature to intervene in humanistic accounts of the epoch we now know as the Anthropocene * A comprehensive overview of the myriad ways in which __scale__ has been taken up in contemporary literary criticism, the environmental humanities, and Black Studies * Brings together public policy and literature to argue for the causal role that literature plays in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future The history of the contemporary is a history of crisis – most centrally, the twinned crises of environmental destruction and anti-Black violence. __Transscalar Critique__ argues that contemporary Black literature navigates this crisis by taking a transscalar approach, understanding crisis as working on multiple scales simultaneously, from the molecular to the geological, from the economic to the aesthetic. As a consequence, this book proposes transscalar critique as a mode of literary criticism. Organized around specific crises and authors, __Transscalar Critique__ argues that crisis offers a window into how competing analytical, artistic, and planetary frameworks collide. In a moment of crisis, questions of race, geology, politics, epistemology, and ontology are brought into focus in surprising and unexpected ways and Transscalar Critique uses the literary, critical, and public policy responses to these events to reveal connections between the human and nonhuman worlds.

Journalism in the grey zone : pluralism and media capture in Lebanon and Tunisia Kjetil Selvik; Jacob Høigilt Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2023

## Explains the political role of journalism in Arab countries marked by pluralist and manipulated media * Offers a fine-grained analysis of political journalism in Tunisia and Lebanon * Brings together political science and media studies based on cases from the Arab region, drawing on literature in English, Arabic and French * Includes a ground-breaking account of the 2019-2020 Lebanese protests * Utilises nearly 100 face-to-face interviews with journalists, politicians and activists * Offers stimulating insights for students of Middle Eastern media and politics, built on a framework that invites comparison with other regions around the world Lebanon and Tunisia are two of the freest countries in the Middle East and North Africa, but elites in both countries seek to manipulate media organisations and individual journalists to shore up support for themselves and attack opponents. This book explores the political role of journalism in these hybrid situations where democratic and nondemocratic elements coexist – a growing trend all over the world. Through interviews with journalists in different positions and analyses of key events in recent years, __Journalism in the Grey Zone__ explains the tensions that media instrumentalisation creates in the news media and how journalists navigate conflicting pressures from powerholders and a marginalised populace. Despite ‘capture’ of the media by political and economic actors, journalism remains a powerful and occasionally disruptive force.

Félix Guattari in the Age of Semiocapitalism : Deleuze Studies Volume 6, Issue 2 Gary Genosko Edinburgh University Press, Deleuze Studies Special Issues, 2019

The year 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of Félix Guattari’s untimely passing in 1992 at the age of 62. This volume acknowledges the prescience of his insight into capital as a semiotic operator, which has been taken up by theorists of immaterial labour in the post-Autonomist movement, and invites his readers to meditate on the relevance of his thought for a critical diagnosis of present and future mutations of capitalism and labour in the turbulent global info-machinic ecologies of our time. Guattari tried to imagine a post-media era in which new subjectivities could blossom and experiments in controlled chaoticization would flourish. The essays assembled here answer why, and how, to read Guattari today.

## Analyses the theme of laziness in twentieth-century American Literature * Uncovers the ethical dimension of the writing of Stein, Hemingway, Barth, Barthelme and Wallace by situating them in the context of the 20th century non-normative ethical and aesthetic tradition * Shows how the Romantic interest in laziness plays out through the modernist and postmodernist moments in 20th century American literature * Offers an innovative model of ethical reading based on the concept of unproductivity as an alternative to the dominant post-Romantic trends in the field of ethical criticism * Presents the first comprehensive study of laziness as a theoretical concept, which draws on a range of religious and philosophical references points, spanning John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, Theodor Adorno, Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and Catherine Malabou __The Labour of Laziness in Twentieth-Century American Literature__ focuses on the issue of productivity, using the figure of laziness to negotiate the relation between the ethical and the aesthetic. This book argues that major twentieth-century American writers such as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, John Barth, Donald Barthelme and David Foster Wallace provocatively challenge the ethos of productivity by filtering their ethical interventions through culturally stigmatised imagery of laziness. Ladyga argues that when the motif of laziness appears, it invariably reveals the underpinnings of an emerging value system at a given historical moment, while at the same time offering a glimpse into the strategies of rebelling against the status quo.

## A practical approach to preparing learner TESOL teachers for the realities of a real classroom * Includes tasks, discussion questions and data-based vignettes from diverse contexts of language teachers * Takes a reflective approach to TESOL teacher education that starts in pre-service education but extends the educational experiences to ‘novice-service TESOL teacher education’ * Encourages self-assessment in collaborative interactions with teacher educators, mentors, and supervisors A 200 hour teacher education program, often heavily focused on theory and where practice is left to short field experiences cannot provide you with everything that you will need when working in a real classroom.

Including data-based vignettes from diverse contexts of language teachers, you are able to gain practical insights from language teacher education courses.

The Cinema of Disorientation : Inviting Confusions Dominic Lash [Lash, Dominic] Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2020

Perhaps because they are so immediately absorbing, narrative films can also be profoundly confusing and disorienting. This fascinating book neither proposes fool-proof methods for avoiding confusion, nor does it suggest that disorientation is always a virtue. Instead, it argues that the best way to come to terms with our confusion is to look closely at exactly what is confusing us, and why. At the heart of the book are original close readings of four important recent films: David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (2006), Leos Carax's Holy Motors (2012), Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth (2006) and Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language (2014). Clearly written but critically and theoretically bold, The Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions explores both how we get (or fail to get) our bearings with respect to a film, and what we might discover by (and while) doing so. Dominic Lash is a film scholar and musician. His writing on film has appeared in Screen, Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism, Senses of Cinema and elsewhere. He has taught film studies at the Universities of Bristol and Reading, and at King's College London.

Joe Brainard’s Art Yasmine Shamma, Edinburgh University Press Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## Examines the multiple angles of the avant-garde poetry and art of Joe Brainard Joe Brainard’s work occupies the literal margins of New York school poetry, while also figuratively influencing its aesthetic margins, shaping the school from both within and without. Brainard was not only an important illustrator and friend to many New York school poets, he was also a respected collage artist, miniature artist, cartoonist, avid letter writer and serious poet. As the canon of avant-garde American poetry warmly embraces his poetry alongside his art, the field of literary criticism is freshly responding with enthusiasm to Brainard’s literary contribution with sophisticated scholarship and first-hand accounts which attend to both his textual and visual nuances. This collection offers the first place for the importance of Brainard’s poetry, collaborations and art to be recognised for their contribution and influence, all in one place. ## Key Features * Features series of established and new voices in contemporary American poetry * Selected essays all focus on writing but transgress disciplinary lines to also incorporate consideration of Brainard’s visual practice at the same time * Suggests Brainard’s work informingly lined, bound , and shaped the poetics of American avant-garde * Shifts critical attention to Brainard’s writing (while also attending to his well known comics and collages) * Offers further analysis of Brainard’s art and work as uniquely queer in aesthetic practice

Scots and the Spanish Civil War : Solidarity, Activism and Humanitarianism Fraser Raeburn Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## Why did so many Scots offer their time, their money and even their lives in aid of the Spanish Republic? * First scholarly account of Scottish involvement in a globally important conflict * Makes a case for Scottish distinctiveness, contextualised within existing literature on Scottish political cultures * Presents new primary evidence within a British context, including newly-discovered MI5 records as well as Spanish archival material * Explores Scottish history through both a British and global/transnational framework * Focus on the foreign fighter phenomenon has considerable contemporary relevance * Argument rests on detailed and methodologically varied quantitative and qualitative analysis Few causes before or since have inspired such passion, determination and sacrifice than the Spanish Civil War (1936-9). This book explores the many ways in which Scots responded to the war in Spain, covering the activists and humanitarians who raised funds and awareness at home, as well as the hundreds of Scots who journeyed to Spain to fight as part of the International Brigades. Their stories reflect much larger narratives of the rise of European fascism, the networks and cultures of international communism and the wider modern phenomenon of transnational foreign fighters. __Scots and the Spanish Civil War__ is a groundbreaking study of Scottish involvement in one of the 20th century’s most famous and divisive conflicts, drawing on newly-declassified government documents and international archives in Spain and beyond. As well as shedding new light on Scottish politics in the 1930s, Fraser Raeburn argues that this case study – part of the largest wave of foreign war volunteering in the 20th century – can help us understand other such mobilisations, past and present.

The Modern Arabic Bible : Translation, Dissemination and Literary Impact Rana Issa Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh studies in modern Arabic literature, Edinburgh, 2022

## Explores how nahda translations of the Bible transformed Arabic language and literature * Intervenes in theoretical debates on translation and world literature by historicising the role of the Bible as the inaugurating object for thinking translation, since Eugene Nida’s foundational impact on the field * Revises historical narratives of language development that have proliferated since the nineteenth century, and that have credited the nahda Bible with modernising Arabic * Narrates a previously untold story of the modern translations of the Arabic Bible within the larger, dynamic contexts of the nahda and its entanglements with globalisation * Connects the most popular works of al-Bustānī and al-Shidyāq, two foundational figures of the nahda, with their early careers as Bible translators * Explores competing narratives about Arabic’s linguistic origins and literary aspirations and how the translations of the Bible intervened in their formation This innovative study compares nineteenth-century Arabic translations of the Bible to determine how it emerged as a foundational text of Arab modernity. Bible translation gained global traction through the work of Anglophone Christian missionaries, who made an attempt at synchronising translated Bibles in world languages by laying down strict guidelines and supervising the processes of translation and dissemination. By engaging with the intellectual beginnings of two local translators, Butrus al-Bustani (1819 – 1883) and Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq (1804 –1887), as well as their subsequent contributions to Arabic language and literature, this book questions to what extent they complied with the missionaries’ strategy in practice. Based on documents from the archives of Bible societies that tell the story of two key nahda versions of the text, we come to understand how colonial pressure was secondary to the process of incorporating the Bible into the nahda project of rethinking Arabic.

## Explores the transformations of the notion of ‘the people’ from the late Ottoman to current Turkish political discourses * Explores Turkish political culture and institutional architecture through archival research and a critical rereading of the historiography of the Turkish state and society * Proposes key conceptual tools to study popular and populist politics and applies them to the Turkish case * Uses and integrates modes of analysis from a diverse body of scholarship such as sociology, cultural studies, psychosocial studies, political science and political theory into a genealogical narrative __Turkish Politics and ‘The People’__ enhances our understanding of ‘the popular’ in the study of politics through a critical examination of the uses and constructions of ‘the people’ from the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, to the present. It proposes ways of reading the insertion and operationalisation of the notion of ‘the people’ as a concept, a political subject, the object of policy and politics over the past century. It assesses the ways ‘the people’ have been shaped by the history of the republic, and, in turn, have informed ways of visualising society, the country’s political culture, institutional architecture and framed the parameters and repertoires of political action. Drawing on extensive archival research and contributions from historical sociology and social movement research, Spyros A. Sofos enriches the ways of approaching the ‘popular’ by proposing ways of integrating identity, discourse, strategy, organisation and leadership in the articulation of ‘the people’ in political discourse and action.

Edwin Muir : Poet, Critic and Novelist Palmer McCulloch Margery Palmer McCulloch Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

Rather than emphasising the Christian, transcendental elements in Edwin Muir's writing, this critical study focuses on the 'single, disunited world' - a search for meaning and values in the unstable, mundane world. Taking the reader chronologically through all his major works, it analyses the significance of Muir's Orcadian background, the influence of German Romanticism on his early poetry, and his European interests in general. The stylistic maturity of his later poetry is given particular attention, as is the relevance of Scotland to his whole work. Although Muir has traditionally been seen as standing apart from MacDiarmid's 'Renaissance', this challenging new study shows how he did in his own way fulfil its aim by taking Scottish Literature and criticism back into the mainstream of European culture. Margery Palmer McCulloch is Senior Research Fellow in Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow. She is co-editor of Scottish Literary Review. Her recent books include Modernism and Nationalism: Source Documents for the Scottish Renaissance, and Scottish Modernism and its Contexts 1918-1959: Literature, National Identity and Cultural Exchange, published by Edinburgh University Press in 2009.

Modern Arabic Literature : A Theoretical Framework Reuven Snir Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2017

## Outlines a theoretical operative framework for the study of modern Arabic literature The study of Arabic literature is blossoming. This book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework to help research this highly prolific and diverse production of contemporary literary texts. Based on the achievements of historical poetics, in particular those of Russian formalism and its theoretical legacy, this framework offers flexible, transparent, and unbiased tools to understand the relevant contexts within the literary system. The aim is to enhance our understanding of Arabic literature, throw light on areas of literary production that traditionally have been neglected, and stimulate others to take up the fascinating challenge of mapping out and exploring them. ## Key features * Includes inventories of both canonized and non-canonized literary texts in three sections: texts for adults, texts for children, and translated texts for adults and children * Looks at the historical diachronic interaction of literature with various extra-literary systems such as religion, territory, state nationalism, language, politics, economy and gender as well as foreign literatures and cultures * Focuses on the study of each genre together with examining the relationships between the various genres and the role of translation in their development * Highlights the concept of periodization, looking at how to delimit and define literary periods * Conceptualizes sociocultural distinctions of text production in terms of literary stratification, avoiding evaluative judgments

Reanimating Shakespeare’s Othello in Post-Racial America Vanessa I. Corredera Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

#### Traces the history of Othello’s contemporary citations, adaptations, and appropriations across genres * Creates an archive of twenty-first century appropriations of __Othello__, many primary works not yet addressed by scholarship or considered in regards to __Othello__, such as __Get Out, Kill Shakespeare, Serial__, and __Othello: The Remix__ * Considers appropriations across genres and media: podcasts, television, film, graphic novels, and performance * Places in dialog premodern critical race studies, media studies, and critical race theory to analyze these appropriations * Contextualizes these appropriations through media studies and popular culture contexts pressuring and pressured by __Othello__ * Demonstrates the wide-ranging applicability of __Othello’s__ narrative through its breadth * Provides a method for ethical engagement with and judicious consumption of popular culture Othello famously supplicates, ‘Speak of me as I am’, pleading for the Venetians to ‘nothing extenuate’, leave out, or make thin (5.2.352). Othello’s anxiety about narrative accuracy exposes his fear over his story’s potential misrepresentation. As the first monograph to examine __Othello’s__ history of contemporary reanimations, __Reanimating Shakespeare’s Othello__ in __Post-Racial America__ takes up this question of retelling Othello’s story, turning to the play as re-crafted in a time and place imagined as having overcome racial injustice: post-racial America (2008–2016). This book analyses representations of Othello across genres and media including podcasts, television, film, graphic novels and performance, and argues that these representational choices of __Othellos__ perpetuate varying racial frameworks that advance antiblack or antiracist versions of the play. By elucidating the presence and function of these competing frameworks, it illuminates and explains how to wrestle with the intersections between Shakespeare, __Othello__ and the American racial imaginary in appropriations, scholarship, the classroom and beyond.

Poetic Theory and Practice in Early Modern Verse: Unwritten Arts Zenón Luis-Martínez (editor) Edinburgh University Press, 2023

## Studies alternative concepts to received theories and practices of poetry in early modern England * Explores new perspectives on early modern poetic theory and practice * Unearths key lexicons and notions of Renaissance poetics in early modern English poems * Freshly rereads canonical poems and poets alongside less frequented authors and texts * Reads early modern poetic texts in the larger intellectual contexts of Britain and Europe * Brings together a transnational team of scholars on early modern English literature How did ideas about the poet’s art surface in early modern texts? By looking into the intersections between poetry, poetics and other discourses – logic, rhetoric, natural philosophy, medicine, mythography or religion – the essays in this volume unearth notions that remained largely unwritten in the official literary criticism of the period. Focusing on questions of poetry’s origins and style, and exploring individual responses to issues of authenticity, career design, difficulty, or inspiration, this collection revisits and renews the critical lexicons that connect poetic theory and practice in early modern English texts and their European contexts. Reading canonical poets and critics – Sidney, Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Puttenham, Dryden – along less studied figures such as Henry Constable, Barnabe Barnes, Thomas Lodge, Aemilia Lanyer, Fulke Greville or George Chapman, this book extends the coordinates for a dialogue between literary practice and the Renaissance theories from which they stemmed and which they helped to outgrow.

Why Islamists go green : politics, religion and the environment Emmanuel Karagiannis Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh Studies of the Globalised Muslim World : ESGMW, Edinburgh, 2023

## Investigates the environmental policies of transnational and militant Islamist groups * Examines and compares the environmentalism of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hizbullah and Hizb ut-Tahrir * Covers different thematic areas, including water, trees, animal issues, energy and pollution * Expands research into Islamist environmentalism through the combined lens of political science and Islamic studies From North Africa to Indonesia, Muslim populations have struggled to cope with the new environmental realities. However, in the era of globalisation, institutionalised Islamist parties, particularly in government, are increasingly addressing green issues and suggesting policies in order to help protect water supplies, reduce pollution and increase tree plantation. This applies to Islamists who participate in electoral politics, as well as those who are classified as transnational or militant. Delving into the causes of this new environmentalism phenomenon, Emmanuel Karagiannis explores the religious and political motivations of five Islamist groups and assesses the degree of influence that Islamic texts, rulings and principles have on the green policies pursued.

Phenomenology of Black Spirit Biko Mandela Gray, Ryan J. Johnson Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## What if the protagonist of Hegel’s Phenomenology were Black? ## Ryan Johnson and Biko Mandela Gray study the relationship between Hegel’s __Phenomenology of Spirit__ and Black Thought from Frederick Douglass to Angela Davis * The first philosophy book written, in a single voice, by a Black philosopher and a white philosopher * Dramatizes a dialectical parallelism between Hegel’s __Phenomenology__ and Black Thought * Diversifies and transforms the history of philosophy by forcing canonical thinkers into direct dialogue with 19th-20th-century African American, African, and Africana thinkers * Expands Hegel Studies by including habitually excluded perspectives and voices * Champions the history of African American Philosophy * Articulates the expansiveness and interdisciplinarity of Black Thought This staging of an elongated dialectical parallelism between Hegel’s classic text and major 19th-20th-century Black thinkers explodes the western canon of philosophy. Johnson and Mandela Gray show that Hegel’s abstract dialectic is transformed and critiqued when put into conversation with the lived dialectics of Black Thought: from Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs through to Malcolm X and Angela Davis. While Hegel articulates the dynamic logics that we see in these Black thinkers, when they are placed in parallel and considered together, __the whiteness__, both explicit and implicit, of __Hegelianism itself__ is revealed. Forcing Hegelianism into the embodied history of Black Thought reveals a phenomenology of America whose spirit is Black.

Political Agency and the Medicalisation of Negative Emotions Dan Degerman Edinburgh University Press, Taking on the political (Edinburgh, Scotland), Edinburgh, 2022

## Argues that the medicalisation of negative emotions is reshaping our ability to act politically * Provides the first sustained analysis of how the increasing tendency to think and talk about negative emotions in terms of mental disorder affects our ability to take political action * Presents, analyses and compares case studies of individuals who have faced obstacles related to perceptions of their emotional and mental fitness for public life, ranging from psychiatric service-user activists to Brexit protesters * Complements Foucauldian studies of medicalisation by drawing on Hannah Arendt to reveal how medicalisation impacts political agency * Enriches and contests existing interpretations of Arendt This book explores negative emotions like anger, fear and grief as important drivers of political action. It examines how treating these feelings as medical problems affects society. Drawing on the political thought of Hannah Arendt, the book develops an original understanding of political emotions as fragile and vulnerable to attacks disputing their relevance to public life. It presents and analyses four case studies of emotional politics in the UK, ranging from assertions that UKIP supporters were emotionally primitive to diagnoses of anxiety disorder in the Brexit referendum’s aftermath. It demonstrates how ideas of emotion and mental disorder might be used to both empower and disempower people politically.

Social Interaction in Language Teacher Education : A Corpus and Discourse Perspective Fiona Farr; Angela Farrell; Elaine Riordan Edinburgh University Press, Studies in Social Interaction : SSI, Edinburgh, 2022

## A data-led examination of interaction in language teacher education * Studies of the socialisation of trainee teachers * Adopts empirical, corpus-based approaches to data analysis bringing quantitative and qualitative dimensions to the data descriptions * Includes interactional tasks at the end of each chapter to consolidate understanding and encourage reflection * Draws on a number of modes of interaction including face-to-face lectures, tutorials, practice, feedback and online modes of computer-mediated communication including blogs, discussion forums, and chat Combining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, this book draws on a range of spoken and written data collected from a variety of contexts. It explores interaction in pre- and in-service education programs and analyses the spoken and written interactions of teachers with varying levels of experience who are adopting a range of modes of interaction. Both face-to-face and online modes of computer-mediated communication are explored. In doing so the book provides examples of how data can be approached and used to uncover social-interactional themes and issues, in relation to language teacher education and as a micro-context of social interaction in general. With coverage of both theory and practice, this book is a key resource for educators and postgraduate students in areas such as second language teacher education, TESOL, cross-cultural communication, sociology, philology, as well as discourse analysts.

The Philosophical Foundations of the Late Schelling : The Turn to the Positive Sean J. McGrath Edinburgh University Press, New Perspectives in Ontology Ser, Edinburgh, 2021

## A defence of the rationality and rigour of the late Schelling’s visionary philosophy of religion * A major new effort to organise and evaluate Schelling’s arguments for a Philosophy of Revelation and to demonstrate their importance for contemporary debates * Finds in largely unexamined texts of the late Schelling new resources for critiquing rationalism, reductive naturalism, and posthumanism * Will appeal to the many scholars in various fields working on political eschatology in the works of Benjamin, Taubes, Rosenzweig, Derrida, Žižek, Moltmann and Levinas Schelling’s positive philosophy has long been recognised as the historical root of Marxism, existentialism, and other central trends in continental philosophy, but its main argument has never been fully elaborated as a tenable philosophical strategy for thinking Christianity forward into its future. According to McGrath, Schelling’s late turn to speculative theological realism (the positive) is neither fideistic nor arbitrary, but rather the consequence of the free decision of the philosopher who has soberly assessed the results of logic, nature-philosophy and historical-critical and systematic theology.

Early Golf : Royal Myths and Ancient Histories Neil S. Millar Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## Exploring the myths and revisiting the evidence surrounding the early history of golf * Explores the early history of golf, from the earliest written reference in a Scottish Act of Parliament from the 1450s * Challenges enduring myths and popular misconceptions concerning the early history of golf * Features 78 colour and 11 black and white illustrations Numerous myths and misconceptions have become entrenched in the popular history of golf. In this book, Neil Millar challenges these myths and revisits the evidence surrounding the sport’s early history. He shows how the game blossomed in Scotland in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and describes the role of Scottish golfers in its spread to other countries between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. And he examines the relative antiquity of golf compared with that of other early stick-and-ball games – a topic that has been debated extensively. Golf historians frequently retell anecdotes concerning historical figures such as King James II of Scotland (1430-1460), Queen Catherine of Aragon (1484-1536), Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587), King Charles I (1600-1649) and James, Duke of York (1633-1701). This book re-examines the evidence underpinning these claims to provide a reliable account of early golf history.

General William Roy, 1726-1790 : Father of the Ordnance Survey Humphrey Welfare Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## The first biography of William Roy, exploring his life, career and legacy * Considers the influences on William Roy and his work by examining the people in his circle, including some of the most famous scientists and explorers of the day * Reviews the importance of the Military Survey to the history of cartography * Considers the significance of his experiments in measuring heights by barometric pressure * Re-assesses – for the first time since 1917 - his important contribution to British archaeology William Roy was a polymath and a visionary. His work established the path that would lead to the formation of the Ordnance Survey and to all of the paper-based and digital mapping products that we use today. His story – very much one of the Enlightenment – demonstrates how one man’s curiosity and diligence enabled him to excel across a diverse range of topics: military reconnaissance and intelligence; the lessons that could be learned from the past about the tactical use of landscape; the science of determining the height of mountains; and the development of a meticulous methodology to achieve an unprecedented accuracy in topographical measurement. In this biography, Humphrey Welfare uncovers the career and activities of this important figure, and in doing so paints a vivid picture of the inner complexities of 18th-century Britain.

Spinoza and Relational Autonomy : Being with Others Aurelia Armstrong; Keith Green; Andrea Sangiacomo Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

#### Integrates Spinoza’s thought into the contemporary debate on interpersonal relationships and individual autonomy * 13 new essays explore Spinoza’s relational account of autonomy and individuality * Integrates different philosophical approaches and styles, both from analytic and continental traditions * Bridges the gap between history of philosophy and contemporary debates * Contributes to debates across a number of fields, including Spinoza studies, contemporary political philosophy and ethics, feminist philosophy, and the philosophy of action The question of how to understand autonomy has emerged as a critical issue in contemporary political philosophy. Feminists and others argue that autonomy cannot be adequately conceived without taking into consideration the ways in which it is shaped by our relationships with others. This collection of 13 new essays shows what Baruch Spinoza can add to our understanding of the relational nature of autonomy. By offering a relational understanding of the nature of individuals centred on the role played by emotions, Spinoza offers not only historical roots for contemporary debates but also broadens the current discussion. At the same time, reading Spinoza as a theorist of relational autonomy underscores the consistency of his overall metaphysical, ethical and political project, which has been clouded by the standard rationalist interpretation of his works. #### Contributors **Aurelia Armstrong**, University of Queensland **Keith Green**, East Tennessee State University **Matthew Kisner**, University of South Carolina **Martin Lenz**, University of Groningen **Catriona Mackenzie**, Macquarie University **Heidi M.

Delany and Howard Chaykin’s Empire, Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Jeremy Love’s Bayou This book analyses the way that changes in the comics industry, book trade and webcomics distribution have shaped the publication of long-form comics. __The US Graphic Novel__ pays particular attention to how the concept of the graphic novel developed through the twentieth century. Art historians, journalists, and reviewers debated whether it was possible for a comic to be a novel – debates that accelerated after the term ’graphic novel’ was coined by the comics fan Richard Kyle in 1964. This study underlines the proximity of the graphic novel to other media, showing that this cultural form is not only the meeting place between periodical comics and books, but that graphic novels are in dialogue with films, posters and computer screens.

## Offers an innovative study of traditional and new methodologies used to study Islam * Brings together a set of international voices from a variety of disciplines and fields, including religious studies, theology, philosophy, law and history * Offers an overview of what methodologies are and how they have been used in the study of Islam * Challenges existing paradigms by providing alternative systems for the study of Islam * Provides a set of case studies based on primary sources in Islamic studies * Revisits understandings and misunderstandings in long-established academic traditions in the study of Islam * Pushes the study of Islam to the forefront of methodological considerations Methods play a key role in how we access and subsequently organise data. There is a tendency, however, for scholars to focus primarily on their data at the expense of the methodological acts that bring such data into existence in the first place. The academic study of Islam is certainly no different in this regard. Indeed, many continue to employ established or classic methods that often echo (neo-)orientalist and other political inclinations. This collection, in contrast, offers an alternative, providing a set of multi-disciplinary approaches that focus on how we create, study and disseminate “Islamic data.”

The Gothic Forms of Victorian Poetry Olivia Loksing Moy Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture : ECSVC, Edinburgh, 2022

## Victorian poets remixed and remastered signature tropes from 1790s Gothic novels, establishing canonical nineteenth-century poetic forms * Explores authors such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christinia Rosetti, and G.M Hopkins * Shows genre formation as a process that occurs dynamically not only across periods, but across genres and class lines * A lonely damsel imprisoned within a castle or convent cell. The eavesdropping of a prisoner next door. The framed image of a woman with a sinister past. These familiar tropes from 1790s novels and tales exploded onto the English literary scene in ‘low-brow’ titles of Gothic romance. Surprisingly, however, they also re-emerged as features of major Victorian poems from the 1830s to 1870s. Such signature tropes — inquisitional overhearing; female confinement and the damsel in distress; supernatural switches between living and dead bodies — were transfigured into poetic forms that we recognise and teach today as canonically Victorian. __The Gothic Forms of Victorian Poetry__ identifies a poetics of Gothic enclosure constitutive of high Victorian poetry that came to define key nineteenth-century poetic forms, from the dramatic monologue, to women’s sonnet sequences and metasonnets, to Pre-Raphaelite picture poems.

The Loneliest Revolution: A Memoir of Solidarity and Struggle in Iran Ali Mirsepassi Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh Historical Studies of Iran and the Persian World, 2023

* Recounts the political contests between Islamists, leftists, and others culminating in one of the twentieth century’s most surprising revolutions * Combines the sensitivity of a memoir with the expertise of a scholarly study to explore lesser-known figures and events in the Iranian revolution’s history * Shifts the center of Iran’s revolutionary history away from its capital to its provinces in an attempt to show how the global and local interacted at multiple levels In October 1978, a day that started like any other for Ali Mirsepassi – full of anti-Shah protests – ended in near death. He was stabbed and dumped in a ditch on the outskirts of Tehran for having spoken against Khomeini. In this book, Mirsepassi digs up this and other painful memories to ask: How did the Iranian revolutionary movement come to this? How did a people united in solidarity and struggle end up so divided? In this first-hand account, Mirsepassi deftly weaves together his insights as a sociologist of Iran with his memories of provincial life and radical activism in 1960s and 1970s Iran. Attentive to the everyday struggles Iranians faced as they searched for ways to learn about and make history despite state surveillance and censorship, The Loneliest Revolution revisits questions of leftist failure and Islamist victory and ultimately asks us all to probe the memories, personal and collective, that we leave unspoken.

Democracy and the Future : Future-Regarding Governance in Democratic Systems Michael MacKenzie (editor); Maija Setälä (editor); Simo Kyllönen (editor) Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2023

This book brings together political philosophers, democratic theorists, empirical political scientists, and policy experts to examine why representative democracies have so often failed to anticipate future problems and consider the long-term consequences of policy decisions. It examines these topics from many different perspectives — it is interdisciplinary and globally-oriented — but it also explores Finland as an example of how long-term governance might be done. Finland has one of the most advanced governmental foresight systems in the world, including a unique parliamentary institution called the ‘Committee for the Future’ and it has enjoyed a stable, multiparty government for decades. The book concludes that such elite-driven institutions should be complemented by robust institutions for public participation and deliberation in order to retain responsiveness while at the same time forging public commitments for future-regarding action.

[Visit the webpage for __Lucretius II__](https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-lucretius-ii.html) Thomas Nail argues convincingly and systematically that Lucretius was not an atomist, but a thinker of kinetic flux. In doing so, he completely overthrows the interpretive foundations of modern scientific materialism, whose philosophical origins lie in the atomic reading of Lucretius’ immensely influential book __De Rerum Natura__. This means that Lucretius was not the revolutionary harbinger of modern science as Greenblatt and others have argued; he was its greatest victim. Nail re-reads __De Rerum Natura__ to offer us a new Lucretius – a Lucretius for today.

Film, Hot War Traces and Cold War Spaces Maurizio Cinquegrani Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

#### Investigates the intertwining of fiction, documentary and memory in film * Analyses previously neglected visual material ranging from newsreels from the First World War to amateur footage of Hiroshima before the bombing and television news reports from the 1970s * Establishes connections between films and events which had never been brought together in the same monograph This book explores the ways in which film engages with historical events and their impact on present-day landscapes, through a spatial reading of film articulated through the process of charting both creative and coherent cinematic topographies. As the authority of the archive wrestles with the popularity of fictional narratives, this book delves into the debate on the relationship between fiction and documentary in hitherto neglected and surprising contexts. It offers the reader a unique approach to the study of archival footage and documentaries in relation to their fictional counterpart, mainstream films set in the same locations and addressing similar themes, including both live-action films and animations. From images of the places taken during or soon after the facts they represent to the intricacies of retrospective images of the events made years later, the films and footage investigated in this book offer a profound reflection on the ways in which we remember, imagine and experience the past through the complex mediation of film.

The reader's Joyce : Ulysses, authorship and the authority of the reader Sophie Corser Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, 2022

## Rethinks the relationships between author, reader, and text in literature and criticism, through a study of James Joyce * Offers the first extended exploration of authority in the reception of a canonical modernist author * Re-centres Homer in Ulysses and its reception * Presents an innovative approach to issues of reading by marrying new, close textual analysis of sections of __Ulysses__ with critical and literary reception studies * Suggests a new understanding of literary and critical acts of reading and authorship __The Reader’s Joyce__ engages with core issues of literary studies by rethinking accepted literary, critical, and theoretical notions of the relationships between author, reader, and text. This monograph describes and queries the activity of reading prompted by the intertextuality and narrative of James Joyce’s __Ulysses__ (1922), focusing on in-depth readings of the novel and its interactions with other texts from classical and contemporary literature to criticism, theory, and biography. Central to this approach are new analyses of the now commonly underplayed significance of Homer’s __Odyssey__ to __Ulysses__, and of how authority functions in the developing critical reception of __Ulysses__ since its publication. Through the prisms of __Ulysses__ and ‘the Joyce industry’ this monograph provides new perspectives on the author-reader-text triad in the wider field of literary criticism: diving into layered histories of concepts, challenges, and retreats in order to ask how we read now.
