Wejen Chang
The AuthorWejen Chang is Emeritus Professor of Law at Academia Sinica in Taipei.
DescriptionChinese thinkers of the 6th to the 3rd centuries bc searched for answers to universal and timeless questions about law.

Wejen Chang brings a fresh perspective to their theories to help us to understand the historical roots of law, and Chinese law in particular, and the comparative lessons for us today.

Return StatementsOn the Return of Religion in Contemporary Philosophy
Gregg Lambert
The AuthorGregg Lambert is Dean’s Professor of the Humanities at Syracuse University and is the Founding Director of The Syracuse University Humanities Centre.
DescriptionGregg Lambert examines the internal relationship between the return of overtly religious themes in contemporary philosophy over the past decade and another sense of the ‘post-secular’ turn that has been taking place globally following the events of 9/11. He asks how these two ‘returns to religion’ can be taking place simultaneously without appearing as the same horizon of the West viewed from opposing perspectives of the globe?
Through a series of reflections on the ‘return statements’ performed by such contemporary philosophers as Alain Badiou, John D. Caputo, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy, Lambert discovers the unique sense of the term ‘religion’ that belongs exclusively to our contemporary perspective – a sense whose bio-political meaning is both unprecedented and foreboding.

DescriptionIt was the astronomers and mathematicians of the Islamic world who provided the theories and concepts that paved the way from the geocentric theories of Claudius Ptolemy in the second century AD to the heliocentric breakthroughs of Nicholas Copernicus and Johannes Kepler in the sixteenth and 17th centuries. Algebra, the Arabic numeral system, and trigonometry: all these and more originated in the Muslim East and undergirded an increasingly accurate and sophisticated understanding of the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets.
This nontechnical overview of the Islamic advances in the heavenly sciences allows the general reader to appreciate (for the first time) the absolutely crucial role that Muslim scientists played in the overall development of astronomy and astrology in the Eurasian world.

DescriptionZoe Beenstock examines the relationship between two major traditions which have not been considered in conjunction: British Romanticism and social contract philosophy. She argues that an emerging political vocabulary was translated into a literary vocabulary in social contract theory, which shaped the literature of Romantic Britain, as well as German Idealism, the philosophical tradition through which Romanticism is more usually understood. By looking at the intersection of social contract theory, Scottish Enlightenment philosophy, canonical works of Romanticism and its political culture, her book provides an alternative to the model of retreat which has dominated accounts of Romanticism of the last century.
Beenstock offers a fresh understanding of canonical works by Coleridge, Wordsworth, Godwin, Mary Shelley and Carlyle. She argues that Romantic writers transposed a pervasive difficulty weaving diverse individuals into a greater social whole which they found in the works of Hobbes, Smith, and especially Rousseau, into their own highly influential account of a modern experience of alienation. A common set of metaphors marks a new discourse of individualism that developed in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century political theory and emerged in Romanticism. These metaphors have also reverberated backwards to shape the reception of Romanticism in contemporary literary studies and culture.

DescriptionIThe British historical novel has often been defined in the terms set by Walter Scott’s fiction, as a reflection on a clear break between past and present. Returning to the range of historical fiction written before Scott, Reinventing Liberty challenges this view by returning us to the rich range of historical novels written in the late eighteenth-century. It explores how these works participated in a contentious debate concerning political change and British national identity. Ranging across well-known writers, like William Godwin, Horace Walpole and Frances Burney, to lesser-known figures, such as Cornelia Ellis Knight and Jane Porter, Reinventing Liberty reveals how history becomes a site to rethink Britain as ‘land of liberty’ and it positions Scott in relation to this tradition.

DescriptionThis critical study of Hardy’s short stories provides a thorough account of the ruling preoccupations and recurrent writing strategies of his entire corpus as well as providing detailed readings of several individual texts. It relates the formal choices imposed on Hardy as contributor to Blackwood’s Magazine and other periodicals to the methods he employed to encode in fiction his troubled attitude towards the social politics of the West Country, where most of the stories are set. No previous criticism has shown how the powerful challenges to the reader mounted in Hardy’s later stories reveal the complexity of his motivations during a period when he was moving progressively in the direction of exchanging fiction for poetry.
Provides a comprehensive criticism of Hardy’s entire output of short stories

The Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Katherine MansfieldVolumes 1–4
Edited by Gerri Kimber,Vincent O'Sullivan, Angela Smith and Claire Davison
The EditorsGerri Kimber is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Northampton, is co-editor of the annual yearbook Katherine Mansfield Studies, and Chair of the Katherine Mansfield Society.
Vincent O’Sullivan is Professor Emeritus, Victoria University of Wellington, is the world’s foremost Mansfield scholar and is President of the Katherine Mansfield Society.

Claire Davison, Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, is the current Chair of the French Virginia Woolf Society.
DescriptionThis four-volume edition of Katherine Mansfield’s works, assembled by Series Editor Gerri Kimber and her co-editors, brings together, for the first time, everything Mansfield wrote aside from her letters (which have their own edition).
Volumes 1 and 2 – the fiction – bring together 220 stories and story fragments, expanding considerably on a previous ‘definitive' edition of 85 stories. Arranged chronologically, the reader can trace Mansfield’s progress, month by month from her first schoolgirl story in 1898 to her last complete story in July 1922. Volume 3 redefines Mansfield as a critic, translator and poet, by bringing together all of her poetry (almost 200 poems), her literary translations, her witty, sometimes scorching parodies, pastiches and essays, as well as her many incisive reviews of the novels of the day. The collection attests to the enormous variety of her non-fiction output, some of it published here for the first time. Volume 4 – the diaries – resituates Mansfield not just as a short story writer, but also as an observant diarist, chronicler of her times and an erudite reader of English and European literatures. The size of the volume attests to the variety of personal writings, accounts, and reading notes she produced during her lifetime, some of it unpublished until this edition.
The material presented here has been minutely edited for the first time, with precise historical, cultural and biographical contextualisations. Essential contextual perspectives reveal Mansfield’s evolution as a writer, and the impact of her era on early drafts of her mature writings. A detailed index facilitates cross-reading and referencing for scholars and general readers alike.
Together, all four volumes offer readers the scholarly edition Mansfield’s writing so richly deserves.

DescriptionWhat links Italian neorealism to Django Unchained, French comic books to Third-World insurgency, and Bollywood song-and-dance to Eastern Bloc film distribution? As this volume illustrates, the answers lie in the Spaghetti Western genre. This object of fascination and affection for fans, filmmakers and academics alike arose from a diverse confluence of cultural strands, and remains the inspiration for many more, making the Western all’italiana a pivotal moment in cinematic history. This book brings together new research on this phenomenon from leading international scholars in a variety of disciplines, both to revisit the genre’s cultural significance and to consider its on-going influence on international film industries.

The AuthorSimon Willmetts is Lecturer in American Studies at the University of Hull. His research falls broadly within the fields of film history, cultural theory and US foreign policy.
DescriptionIn Secrecy’s Shadow is a richly researched history of the relationship between Hollywood filmmakers and American intelligence from the Second World War to the 1970s. It examines how the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its wartime predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), worked with Hollywood to promote secret intelligence as a vital necessity. In the 1960s, however, Hollywood began to depart from this consensus vision of American intelligence as wholly benign, reflecting growing public anxiety about excessive US government secrecy. This book is the story of this rise and fall of Hollywood’s unique relationship with American intelligence.

DescriptionOne of the first books to explore Russian cinema in the new millennium, this volume captures the emergence of a new cinematic sensibility and interprets it through the framework of the symbolic mode. Analysing films by established directors such as Sokurov, Zviagintsev and Zel’dovich, as well as lesser-known filmmakers like Balabanov, Fedorchenko and Kalatozishvili, Contemporary Russian Cinema: Symbols of a New Era explores the particular style of film presentation that has emerged in Russia since 2000, characterised by its use of highly abstract concepts and visual language. Whether directed towards a mystical world, or even towards an afterlife, the symbolic mode defines the emergence of a specific mindscape which has escaped previous representational forms and is intrinsically linked to Russia’s dramatic political and economic development since the turn of the 21st century.

DescriptionNear to one billion people call slums their home, making it a reasonable claim to describe our world as a ‘planet of slums.’ But how has this hard and unyielding way of life been depicted on screen? From Jacob Riis’ How The Other Half Lives (1890) to Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire (2008), Igor Krstić outlines a transnational history of films that either document or fictionalise the favelas, shantytowns, barrios poulares or chawls of our ‘planet of slums’, exploring the way accelerated urbanisation has intersected with an increasingly interconnected global film culture.

DescriptionBetween the 1820s and 1914 over two million people emigrated from Scotland, settling primarily in North America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. One of the most distinctive ways in which the influence of the Scottish diaspora overseas expressed itself was the formation of military units which identified with Scotland.
This volume provides a comparative overview of the 19th century emergence of military Scottishness and explores how the construction and performance of Scottish military identity has evolved in different Commonwealth countries over the late 19th and 20th centuries. In particular, it looks at the ways in which Scottish volunteer regiments variously sought to draw upon, align themselves with or, at certain key moments, redefine the assertions of martial identity which Highland regiments represented.
A comparative study of Scotland’s global military diaspora, focusing on the impact of the Great War
Key Features• Develops a critical understanding of the complex connections between
Scotland and its diasporic communities, addressing wider questions of ethnicity, identity and national belonging
• Provides five conceptual case studies of how Scottish diaspora in different parts of the Commonwealth embraced or rejected Scottish military culture in forging their identities: England; North America; South Africa; Australia & New Zealand
• Weaves the story of Scotland’s global diaspora through the emergent national narratives of Commonwealth nations
• Looks at the operation of ‘military Scottishness’ in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries

DescriptionThe concept of the state plays a central role in international relations, particularly in realist and neo-realist approaches. Yet, the meaning of the state is persistently taken to be self-evident by both advocates of the sovereign state and its critics. This volume counters this trend. It systematically considers the nature of the state, the concept of sovereignty and the challenges globalisation and cosmopolitanism.
Featuring contributions from some of the most reputed theorists of the state, the essays in this collection give you a coherent and, at the same time, distinctively pluralist set of original reflections on the role and nature of the state.

It emphasises the multiplicity rather than the supposed homogeneity of studio era and independent filmmaking, making a case that American cinema is more diverse than some accounts might suggest.

An incitement is a thought that leads to a further thought or an action that solicits a response, while also testing the limits of what is acceptable or lawful. The books in this series, by prominent, world class scholars, will highlight the political import of philosophy, showing how concepts can be translated into political praxis, and how praxis is inextricably linked to thinking.

These 4 volumes collect Mansfield’s fiction, her non-fiction prose writings and her diaries allowing readers to tease out the threads of a multi-faceted writer.
