Ever since his first feature film I Killed My Mother premiered at Cannes, every film from the 29-year-old director Xavier Dolan has generated significant critical interest. A recipient of numerous awards, Dolan has recently taken his career to an international level with The Death and Life of John F. Donovan. As the first book-length study about Dolan, with case studies of key films like Mommy (2014), Tom at the Farm (2013) and It's Only the End of the World (2016), this volume explores the global reach of small national and subnational cinemas. In particular, it uses Dolan's cinema as a departure point to reconsider the position of Québec film and cultural imaginary within a global cinematic culture, as well as the intersections between national, millennial and queer filmmaking.Andrée Lafontaine is Assistant Professor of Anglophone Literature and Culture at the University of Tsukuba (Japan).

'The Other Hollywood Renaissance is an extraordinary volume which testifies to the incredible richness of 1970s cinema. These 23 concise, eloquent and keenly insightful auteurist essays, expertly assembled, recover and re-examine the considerable achievements of a wide array of directors, ranging from the highly esteemed and well-known (Sidney Lumet, Mike Nichols and Terrence Malick) to the highly neglected (John Boorman, Elaine May and Alan Rudolph). Like the best critics, these authors compel us to watch the films anew with a fresh appreciation of their directors' work.'Matthew Bernstein, Emory CollegeIn the late 1960s, the collapse of the classic Hollywood studio system led in part, and for less than a decade, to a production trend heavily influenced by the international art cinema. Reflecting a new self-consciousness in the US about the national film patrimony, this period is known as the Hollywood Renaissance. However, critical study of the period is generally associated with its so-called principal auteurs, slighting a number of established and emerging directors who were responsible for many of the era's most innovative and artistically successful releases.With contributions from leading film scholars, this book provides a revisionist account of this creative resurgence by discussing and memorializing twenty-four directors of note who have not yet been given a proper place in the larger history of the period. Including filmmakers such as Hal Ashby, John Frankenheimer, Mike Nichols, and Joan Micklin Silver, this more expansive approach to the auteurism of the late 1960s and 1970s seems not only appropriate but pressing - a necessary element of the re-evaluation of 'Hollywood' with which cinema studies has been preoccupied under the challenges posed by the emergence and flourishing of new media.Dominic Lennard is a Teaching Fellow in the Pre-Degree Programs at the University of Tasmania.

Volume 2 of the new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield's complete correspondence.

A new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield's complete correspondenceOrganised by recipient, this innovative 4-volume edition allows the reader to explore and share Katherine Mansfield's individual relationships via her letters. Well-known Mansfield scholars Claire Davison and Gerri Kimber have returned to the author's original letters, retranscribing and fully annotating them, incorporating recently discovered biographical material as well as previously unpublished letters. As the four volumes in the Collected Letters reveal, letter writing was an essential part of Mansfield's literary production.From Conrad Aiken to Hugh Jones, this first volume covers correspondents from every period of Mansfield's life. A detailed introduction, together with biographical portraits for each correspondent, enhance the cultural and socio-historical context, while the letters themselves offer a detailed exposé of Mansfield's life: from exile and emigration, intimacy and betrayal, and the traumas of war and disease, to nature and the environment and fashions and food. The volume also reveals the intimacies of some of Mansfield's most prized friendships.Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris.Gerri Kimber is a Visiting Professor in the Department of English at the University of Northampton, and a professional writer and book reviewer.

Alexandros Kioupkiolis re-conceptualises the common in tandem with the political. By engaging with key thinkers of community and the commons, including Nancy, Ostrom, Hardt and Negri, together with poststructuralist conceptions of agonism and hegemony from Mouffe and Laclau, he remedies problematic issues of power relations and division.

Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the agesBringing together the latest scholarship from all over the world on topics ranging from reading practices in ancient China to the workings of the twenty-first-century reading brain, the 4 volumes of the Edinburgh History of Reading demonstrate that reading is a deeply imbricated, socio-political practice, at once personal and public, defiant and obedient. It is often materially ephemeral, but it can also be emotionally and intellectually enduring.Modern Readers explores the myriad places and spaces in which reading has typically taken place since the eighteenth century, from the bedrooms of the English upper classes, through large parts of nineteenth-century Africa and on-board ships and trains travelling the world, to twenty-first-century reading groups. It encompasses a range of genres from to science fiction, music and self-help to Government propaganda.Mary Hammond is Professor of English and Book History at the University of Southampton.

'This is the kind of survey that scholars have been needing since reading emerged as the subject of a new kind of history in the 1980s. Stretching from ancient China to modern Britain, these essays successfully convey the variety and vitality of our encounters with texts; written, printed and spoken.' Bill Sherman, Director of the Warburg Institute Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the ages Bringing together the latest scholarship from all over the world on topics ranging from reading practices in ancient China to the workings of the twenty-first-century reading brain, the 4 volumes of the Edinburgh History of Reading demonstrate that reading is a deeply imbricated, socio-political practice, at once personal and public, defiant and obedient. It is often materially ephemeral, but it can also be emotionally and intellectually enduring. Early Readers presents a number of innovative ways through which we might capture or infer traces of readers in cultures where most evidence has been lost. It begins by investigating what a close analysis of extant texts from 6th-century BCE China can tell us about contemporary reading practices, explores the reading of medieval European women and their male medical practitioner counterparts, traces readers across New Spain, Peru, the Ottoman Empire and the Iberian world between 1500 and 1800, and ends with an analysis of the surprisingly enduring practice of reading aloud. Mary Hammond is Professor of English and Book History at the University of Southampton.

A completely revised edition of Katherine Mansfield's letters, incorporating recently discovered material and extensive annotations.

[headline]Volume 3 of the new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield's complete correspondence Unlike the first two volumes of this new edition of Katherine Mansfield's letters, which encompassed a dazzling variety of correspondents, this third volume focuses exclusively on letters to John Middleton Murry, chronologically arranged, from the day when he first became her lodger in 1912 through to the week after the Armistice in November 1918, when they were newly married. It is no exaggeration to say that over the course of these six years, their entire world was turned upside down. By the time the volume closes, they are married but already increasingly estranged; they have both become professional writers but grapple with increasing economic precarity; Europe lies ravaged by war; and the devastating diagnosis of tuberculosis has been pronounced, not, ironically, for Murry whose fragile health had preoccupied them for two years, but for Mansfield herself. This volume of letters documents the whole spectrum of changes, against a vivid historical and socio-cultural backcloth and contains entirely new, insightful and extensive annotations. A second volume of letters between the pair completes the edition. [bio]Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris.

Combining perspectives on aesthetics and embodiment to understand militarism in international politics This vibrant collection of essays reveals the intimate politics of how people with a wide range of relationships to war identify with, and against, the military and its gendered and racialised norms. The volume synthesises three recent turns in the study of international politics: aesthetics, embodiment and the everyday, into a new conceptual framework for understanding how militarism permeates society and how far its practices can be re-appropriated or even turned against it. Through a range of case studies covering 20th- and 21st-century conflicts on four different continents, the authors of this collection provide a vital introduction to three current concepts in international politics research. Key Features: - Illustrates how processes of militarisation operate in the continuum between military institutions and everyday civilian life - Case studies range from the Middle East and post-socialist Europe to the USA, Britain, Australia and Cuba - Offers diverse methodological examples including autoethnography, visual analysis, fashion history, and digital media research - Integrates social identities including race, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability Catherine Baker is Senior Lecturer in 20th Century History at the University of Hull.

This edited volume provides the first comprehensive introduction to and critical exploration of the "constructivist turn" in political representation, the reorientation of scholarship on mass democracy toward the constitutive or mobilizing aspects of political representation.

This volume traces the roots of the constructivist turn in the distinct (and competing) traditions of Continental and Anglo-American Western political thought. Divided into three thematic parts, these 13 newly commissioned essays advance the insight that there can be no democratic politics without representation.
