It takes the reader the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to places both familiar – Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, the Cabinet War Rooms – and lesser-known, his schools, far-fl ung parliamentary constituencies in Dundee and Epping, the sites of famous speeches, the place he started to paint, the shop he bought his cigars, and the fi nal resting places of his family and close friends. By visiting sites that made important but less-celebrated contributions to the story of Churchill’s life, we come closer to a full picture of the man. Each of the eight regions of the United Kingdom and Ireland are introduced with a map. Together, these places provide fascinating and fresh insights into this extraordinary man. Peter Clark is a writer, translator and retired diplomat. He worked for the British Council for 30 years, has translated six novels from Arabic and has written extensively on 19th- century Britain. NEW KOKOSCHKA A Life Rüdiger Görner TRANSLATED BY Debra Marmor and Herbert Danner £20 OCTOBER 2020 BIOGRAPHY/ART HBK, ROYAL | 320 pages p: 978-1-912208-81-4 e: 978-1-912208-82-1 The first English biography of one of the most influential expressionists of twentieth-century European art The Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka achieved world fame with his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes. In this fi rst English-language biography, Rüdiger Görner depicts the artist in all his fascinating and contradictory complexity. He traces Kokoschka’s path from bête noire of the bourgeoisie and a so-called ‘hunger artist’ to a wealthy and cosmopolitan political and critical artist who played a major role in shaping the European art scene of the twentieth century and whose relevance is undiminished to this day. Kokoschka’s achievements as a playwright, essayist and poet bear witness to his remarkable literary talent. Music, too, played a central role in his work, and his passion for teaching led him to establish in 1953 the School of Seeing, an unconventional art school conceived to revive humanist ideals in the horrifi c aftermath of war. Rüdiger Görner is Professor of German with Comparative Literature at Queen Mary, University of London. The Founding Director of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations, his books include biographies of Rainer Maria Rilke and the poet Georg Trakl. NEW PARTITION How and Why Ireland was Divided Ivan Gibbons £12.99 NOVEMBER 2020 HISTORY/IRELAND HBK, TRADE | 174 pages p: 978-1-913368-01-2 e: 978-1-913368-02-9 A century after the island of Ireland was divided, this concise history tells the story of how, and why, partition happened In December 1920, the Government of Ireland Act passed through British parliament in Westminster, coming into eff ect the following year. It led to the partition of Ireland into a unionist north and a nationalist south. What began as an expedient and temporary political device to resolve tensions inside the United Kingdom was to become a permanent international frontier between two sovereign states and Britain’s only land border with the European Union. The passion and emotion felt about partition has not dissipated in the hundred years since; it is as controversial now as it was then. To mark the centenary, this concise, introductory history explains clearly and objectively why and how two states on the island were created. Ivan Gibbons was a lecturer and MA and BA Programme Director in Irish Studies at St Mary’s University. He is the author of The British Labour Party and the Establishment of the Irish Free State (2015) and Drawing the Line: The Irish Border in British Politics (2018). NEW SECRET SERVICE National Security in an Age of Open Information Jonathan Evans £7.99 SEPTEMBER 2020 POLITICS/SECURITY PBK, A-FORMAT | 90 pages p: 978-1-912208-94-4 e: 978-1-912208-95-1 SERIES: Haus Curiosities The former Director General of the British Security Service on security in a time of increasing openness and transparency This short book describes how the UK’s secret services are dealing with the need for greater openness and transparency, even as national security needs are heightened. Based on decades of real-life experience, Jonathan Evans draws insightful similarities between investigative journalism and espionage, from following leads and checking information to protecting sources. He explores diff erences between other security services around the world, especially those in the United States, and how Brexit might impact the UK’s future collaboration with other European security services. Secret Service is an intriguing insight into the world of international and domestic security and a reminder of the importance of actively attending to the moral health of both the institution itself and its operatives who, by their very nature, are its greatest strength and also its greatest weakness. Jonathan Evans was Director General of the British Security Service from 2007 to 2013. In 2018, he was appointed Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life. NEW TRUTH IN PUBLIC LIFE Vernon White Stephen Lamport Claire Foster-Gilbert £7.99 SEPTEMBER 2020 POLITICS/SOCIAL SCIENCE PBK, A-FORMAT | 90 pages p: 978-1-912208-90-6 e: 978-1-912208-91-3 SERIES: Haus Curiosities Three essays explore the critical importance of truth in our public institutions and wider society How can we speak of truth in an era of lazy assertions and unstable facts? We must, these intelligent essays implore us. Discovering the truth and, indeed, telling it are vital if we are to enjoy a civilised society in which everyone is free to fl ourish. Vernon White, in his essay ‘Truth Pursued, or Being Pursued by Truth’, shows that absolute truth exists and explains why and how it matters morally. In ‘Truth Sustained’, Stephen Lamport describes why truth is important to sustaining civilised society and argues that truth is central to other essential qualities. In her essay ‘Truth Told’, Claire Foster-Gilbert explores the challenge of truth-telling for public servants: for politicians, who are routinely not believed; for civil servants, whose ministers may only want to hear those facts that support their policy ideas; for journalists, tempted to tell the story that is ‘too good to check’; and for judges, police offi cers – even us. Vernon White is an Anglican priest and theological scholar. Stephen Lamport is a former Receiver General of Westminster Abbey and Private Secretary to the Prince of Wales. Claire Foster-Gilbert is the Founding Director of Westminster Abbey Institute and the Co-founder of the St Paul’s Institute. NEW CITIZENS OF EVERYWHERE Searching for Identity in the Age of Brexit and Covid-19 Peter Gumbel £7.99 NOVEMBER 2020 POLITICS/CURRENT AFFAIRS PBK A-FORMAT | 110 pages p: 978-1-913368-07-4 e: 978-1-913368-08-1 SERIES: Haus Curiosities A poignant search for identity through the lens of family history In 1939, with Europe on the brink of war, Peter Gumbel’s grandparents fl ed Nazi Germany for England. In 2019, appalled not only by the result of the Brexit referendum but by the ugliness it exposed in our politics and wider society, he became a citizen of Germany, the country that had persecuted his grandparents 80 years earlier. How had it come to this? Through the story of his family and their migration, Citizens of Everywhere explores identity and belonging in the wake of Brexit and the coronavirus. In doing so, it laments Britain’s tragic slide from an open, pluralist haven to a country whose prejudices have led it to turn its back on the European project and engage in an ill-fated, isolationist struggle against an ever more interconnected world. Gumbel’s short book will speak to many as he describes how the Britain he knew and loved, that welcomed his ancestors so readily, has taken a wrong turn at the worst possible moment. Peter Gumbel has worked for Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, as well as Time and Fortune magazines. Since 2006, he has taught at Sciences Po in Paris. NEW LETTERS FROM LOCKDOWN Sustaining public service values during the Covid-19 pandemic Claire Foster-Gilbert, Treena Fleming, Dawn Butler, and Peter Howitt £6.99 SEPTEMBER 2020 CURRENT AFFAIRS PBK, B-FORMAT | 160 pages p: 978-1-913368-05-0 e: 978-1-913368-06-7 The coronavirus pandemic tested our public servants like never before At the heart of Letters from Lockdown are letters that were written to public servants during the fi rst 12 weeks of the coronavirus lockdown.

  • Legal, Literary, and Journalistic Textualities of Gender Violence in Post-War Nicaragua DISSERTATION P
    Mediated Intimacies: Legal, Literary, and Journalistic Textualities of Gender Violence in Post-War Nicaragua DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alicia Zoe Miklos, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Ileana Rodríguez, Advisor Ignacio Corona Laura Podalsky Copyright by Alicia Zoe Miklos 2015 Abstract My dissertation examines representations of femicide as gender violence in legal, journalistic, literary, and online cultural production in contemporary post-war Nicaragua. I begin with the passing of Law 779, the Integral Law Against Violence Towards Women, approved by the Nicaraguan National Assembly in February 2012. The law fills a legal vacuum in the country by codifying femicide, as well as sexual, psychological, patrimonial, and labor abuse into Nicaraguan law as gender specific crimes. Prohibiting the long-standing practice of police and judicial mediation between accusers and aggressors, Law 779 set out to endow women with judicial agency in what had been largely hostile and re-victimizing institutional spaces. The focus of the project is cultural, examining representations of gender violence as part of a social dialogue about Law 779, covering a variety of textual realms. The goal of the project is to explain how different mediums and social actors explain gender violence by studying discourse and narrative modes. The debate centered on Law 779’s re-balancing of power relations and its controversy stemmed from its challenge to existing family structures, which disguise masculine authority and impunity. The inertia of the status quo proved strong, with Law 779 being reformed and regulated between 2012 and 2014, reverting its original radical spirit.

  • Detecting Japanese Vernacular Modernism: Shinseinen Magazine and the Development of the Tantei Shôsetsu Genre, 1920-1931
    DETECTING JAPANESE VERNACULAR MODERNISM: SHINSEINEN MAGAZINE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TANTEI SHÔSETSU GENRE, 1920-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kyoko Omori * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor William J. Tyler, Adviser Approved by Professor Richard Torrance Professor Mark Bender Adviser Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures ABSTRACT The post-war discourse on modern Japanese literature has presented the binary opposition between “pure” versus “popular” literature as a historical fact, configuring popular literature as the disposable “other” of “pure” literature. Consequently, Japanese literary studies have paid relatively little attention to popular forms such as mystery fiction, samurai “period” fiction, the romance novel, and “nansensu” humor. This dissertation examines the discursive formation of the Japanese modernist popular genre known as “tantei shôsetsu” or “detective fiction.” Focusing on the popular monthly magazine Shinseinen and several of its writers, it discusses the theoretical and practical dimensions of “tantei shôsetsu” as a vernacular form of modernist literary production. In doing so, it situates the genre within contemporaneous debates about the meaning of both modernity and literature in Japan during the 1920s. Chapter One establishes the theoretical terms for “vernacular modernism” by illuminating the ways in which popular literary production engaged with the forces of commercialism and Westernization that also shaped the development of canonical Japanese literature during the early twentieth century. Chapter Two surveys established critical views of Modernism in Japan and shows that they fail to account for the significance of vernacular expression.

  • Archival/Anarchival Performativity Of
    MAPPING THE SISYPHEAN ARCHIVES: ARCHIVAL/ANARCHIVAL PERFORMATIVITY OF REPETITION AND FAILURE IN CONTEMPORARY ARCHIVAL ART Gaeun Ji Department of Visual Cultures Goldsmiths College, University of London For the Degree of Ph.D. DECLARATION I declare that all work presented in this thesis is my own. January 2017 2 ABSTRACT Exploring a distinctive archival turn in art, this study investigates where the archival impulse comes from and why and how artists, as performative researchers, are obsessed with issues relating to the archive. In order to answer for these questions, this thesis displays a dynamic geography of archival/anarchival performativity in contemporary archival art since, primarily, the 1960s. The artist as Sisyphus detects the aporia of the archival impulse being simultaneously archival and anarchival and activates a Sisyphean loop of repetition and failure in their own artistic archives. Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, this project is therefore given the title “mapping the Sisyphean archives”. Using a methodology of mapping, diverse case studies of archival art are interwoven to unveil the reconfiguration of the physical and conceptual conditions of the archive. The meaning of mapping here is varied – doing, undoing, performing, failing, and queering, polymorphously facilitated by two key wheels of Sisyphean performativity. A critical capacity of repetition and failure is thus crucially credited as it brings resistant and alternative modes of being, thinking, and knowing to undermine any idealisation and totalitarianism embedded in normative archives. Referring to Jacques Derrida’s deconstructive reading of the archive and Gilles Deleuze’s thoughts on rhizomatic creativity, the first half of the thesis examines multifaceted aspects of repetition as being pathological, self-evolving, creative, and differentiated each time.

    Letras Hispanas Volume 17 TITLE: Family Ties and Affective Landscapes in 21st Century Argentinean and Mexican Cinema: El premio (2012) and Mai morire (2013) AUTHOR: María Soledad Paz-Mackay and Argelia González Hurtado EMAIL: [email protected]; [email protected] AFFILIATION: St. Francis Xavier University; Department of Modern Languages, Argentine Literature and Cinema, Southern Cone Art and Human Rights; 2360 Notre Dame Avenue; Antigonish, Nova Scotia B2G 2W5 St. Mary’s College of Maryland; Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies; 47645 College Drive, St. Mary’s City, MD, 200686-3001 ABSTRACT: This article considers the intersection of cinematic work and landscape by analysing the gazes and discourses that affectively frame the rural landscape of Argentina and Mexico as portrayed in the films El premio (2012) and Mai Morire (2013). Landscape evokes emotion and affect, and by focus- ing on the resignification of iconic rural landscapes in the films, we question alternative meanings of rural landscape as portrayed in these two regions. We argue that the films articulate a moment of rupture in the lives of the protagonists by using the landscape to depict the importance of change in their individual lives. Both films imbue the landscape with meanings that represent intensities to pro- voke a more nuanced understanding of the political or social context of the protagonists’ problematic situations. We focus on the formal and the aesthetic devices used to trigger an affective response and reshape the cinematic meaning of Patagonia and Xochimilco. KEYWORDS: Film, Aesthetics, Rural Landscape, Argentina, Mexico, Affect, Emotion. RESUMEN: Este artículo considera el cruce entre el trabajo cinematográfico y el paisaje analizando las mira- das y discursos que encuadran afectivamente el paisaje rural de Argentina y México representado en las películas El premio (2012) y Mai Morire (2013).

Research shows that you can dramatically decrease your child’s summer slide, or academic regression that takes place each summer, by ensuring that your child reads for at least 20 minutes every day. Reading is defined as you reading to your child, your child reading to you or when ready, your child reading independently. Reading aloud to your child at any age helps to expand his/her literacy skills including listening comprehension and vocabulary development, love of reading, and empathy and awareness of the world around them.

  • Banned Films, C/Overt Oppression: Practices of Film Censorship from Contemporary Turkey
    BANNED FILMS, C/OVERT OPPRESSION: PRACTICES OF FILM CENSORSHIP FROM CONTEMPORARY TURKEY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sonay Ban December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Damien Stankiewicz, Advisory Chair, Anthropology Heather Levi, Anthropology Wazhmah Osman, Media Studies and Production Bilge Yeşil, External Member, College of Staten Island, CUNY ABSTRACT This project explores how film censorship shapes film production and circulation at film festivals, public screenings, and theatrical releases since the early 2000s in Turkey. It argues that, over time, mechanisms of censorship under Erdoğan’s authoritarian regime became less centralized; practices of censorship became more dispersed and less and less “official;” and the various imposing actors and agencies have differed from those in previous decades. Though still consistent with longstanding state ideologies, reasons for censorship practices, now more than ever, must be complexly navigated and negotiated by producers and distributors of film, including festival organizers, art institutions, and filmmakers themselves, through self-censorship. Drawing on a number of in-depth case studies of films banned after 2000, this project analyzes these works within the political and social contexts surrounding their releases, as well as ethnographic data based on dozens of extensive semi-structured interviews with cultural producers over five years of fieldwork.

    Revised 8/21/14 LATINO STUDIES PROGRAM FILM LIST Latino Studies Program • 434 Rockefeller Hall • Phone: (607) 255-3197 http://latino.cornell.edu • [email protected] abUSed: The Postville Raid – 317 DVD (97 minutes) Presents the devastating effects of US Enforcement Immigration policies on communities, families and children. The film tells the gripping personal stories of the individuals, the families and the town that survived the most brutal, most expensive and largest immigration raid in the history of the United States and serves as a cautionary tale of government abuses. Adio Kerida -Goodbye Dear Love - 2 VHS & DVD (82 minutes) Anthropologist Ruth Behar returns to her native Cuba in search of the country’s remaining Sephardic Jews and her family’s ties to them. Her grandparents were Jewish emigrants to Cuba and hoped it would be their promised land. But like most Cuban Jews, they left Cuba after the revolution and resettled in the United States, with only a small number of Jews remaining on the island. Haunted by the Sephardic love song, “Adio Kerida” (Goodbye Dear Love), Ruth Behar’s filmic memoir is a lyrical journey into Cuba’s Jewish past and present that is filled with painful goodbyes and a passionate belief in the possibility of return. A bittersweet and often humorous portrait emerges of the exotic tribe of Sephardic Jews left in Cuba, as well as the Jewish Cubans living in the United States. This unusually warm and intimate documentary is dedicated to the filmmaker’s father, who insists that goodbyes are final and you should never look back.
