        Thierry and Theodoret

        John Fletcher, Philip Massinger and Nathan Field

        by Domenico Lovascio

        Enthusiastically praised by Charles Lamb and A. C. Swinburne but unjustly neglected since the early twentieth century, Thierry and Theodoret dramatizes events from medieval French history. With its disenchanted depiction of royalty, its eerie instability in terms of genre, and its black comic overtones, Thierry and Theodoret strikes as a distinctive specimen of tragic drama in the Jacobean mould and ranks as one of the most powerful plays in the canon of John Fletcher and his collaborators. This Revels Plays volume is the first fully annotated critical edition of the play, and the first to attribute it to Nathan Field alongside Fletcher and Philip Massinger. It provides a thorough introduction reassessing the play's engagement with its sources - including Shakespeare - and discusses the dating, authorship, and reception of this bizarrely captivating play, pointing the way for future scholarship, especially of a historical or gender-based nature.

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English. ;

        Gendered transactions

        The white woman in colonial India, c.1820–1930

        by Series edited by Andrew S. Thompson, Indrani Sen

        This book seeks to capture the complex experience of the white woman in colonial India through an exploration of gendered interactions over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines missionary and memsahibs' colonial writings, both literary and non-literary, probing their construction of Indian women of different classes and regions, such as zenana women, peasants, ayahs and wet-nurses. Also examined are delineations of European female health issues in male authored colonial medical handbooks, which underline the misogyny undergirding this discourse. Giving voice to the Indian woman, this book also scrutinises the fiction of the first generation of western-educated Indian women who wrote in English, exploring their construction of white women and their negotiations with colonial modernities. This fascinating book will be of interest to the general reader and to experts and students of gender studies, colonial history, literary and cultural studies as well as the social history of health and medicine.

        Pink-pilled

        Women and the far right

        by Lois Shearing

        A daring investigation that explores how women are targeted and recruited by the far right. As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women. Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, Lois Shearing provides a cutting-edge account of how the far right has used the internet to recruit women, while shedding light on what life is like for women within these movements, including their experiences of misogyny and violence. Understanding how and why women join movements that explicitly aim to restrict their autonomy is essential if we want to fight back. Pink-pilled offers key insights for countering women's radicalisation and building communities resistant to far-right thought.

        Speak out!

        Die Kraft weiblicher Wut

        by Soraya Chemaly, Kirsten Riesselmann, Gesine Schröder

        Frauen haben in unserer Gesellschaft allen Grund, wütend zu sein – Sexismus, Diskriminierung, Misogynie –, aber zornige Frauen gelten als hysterisch, und so schweigen sie. Bis jetzt. Die US-amerikanische Aktivistin Soraya Chemaly zeigt in ihrem aufrüttelnden Buch, welche befreiende Kraft in weiblicher Wut steckt. Gleichbehandlung ist bis heute inexistent: Mädchen sollen artig sein, Jungen durchsetzungsfähig. Frauen werden im Berufsalltag doppelt so oft unterbrochen wie ihre Kollegen. Bei gleichen Symptomen bekommen Männer Schmerzmittel – und Frauen Beruhigungsmittel. Anhand von Fakten und persönlichen Erlebnissen veranschaulicht Chemaly, wie die Erfahrung von Sexismus sich in Psyche und Körper von Frauen einschreibt und zu einer tiefsitzenden Wut wird. In Speak out! plädiert Chemaly für eine radikale Neubewertung weiblicher Wut: Richtig eingesetzt, kann sie zu einer mächtigen Waffe gegen persönliche und politische Unterdrückung werden und uns helfen, die Welt zu verändern.

        Explosive Moderne

        Aus dem Englischen von Michael Adrian

        by Eva Illouz

        Politiken der Angst, Spiralen der Enttäuschung, Menschen in Wut. In ihrem neuen Buch blickt Eva Illouz auf unsere aufgewühlte Zeit aus der Perspektive der Gefühle, die sie prägen. Angst, Enttäuschung und Wut, aber auch Scham oder Liebe sind fest in die sozialen Arrangements der westlichen Moderne eingebaut – und werden von ihrer Ökonomie, Politik und Kultur intensiv bewirtschaftet. Sie sind psychologisch relevant, moralisch bedeutsam, politisch wirksam – und hochgradig ambivalent. Das macht die Gegenwart, in der wir leben, so brisant, ja explosiv. Illouz erhellt diese Phänomene in einer meisterlichen Komposition aus soziologischen Analysen, historischen Miniaturen und Lektüren ikonischer Werke der Weltliteratur. In präzisen Porträts der Emotionen, die Gesellschaft unter Hochspannung setzen, beleuchtet sie die Mechanismen ihres Wirkens sowie den Grund ihrer machtvollen Präsenz. Das Verblassen des amerikanischen Traums und die Fragilität der liberalen Demokratie, das Hamsterrad des Kapitalismus und die Konflikte rund um Identität, aber auch Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Misogynie: Ohne Bezug auf die Schlüsselgefühle der explosiven Moderne lassen sie sich weder verstehen noch einhegen oder bekämpfen. Das zeigt dieses so fesselnde wie zeitgemäße Buch.

        Art history

        A critical introduction to its methods

        by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk

        Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

        Lust

        Fuckability, orgasm gap and #metoo

        by Henriette Hell

        Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

        Femicide

        Violence against women

        by Julia Cruschwitz, Carolin Haentjes

        In Germany, 132 women were murdered by their (ex-)partners over the past year, according to police statistics. An attempted murder happened every other day – the real figure is in all probability much higher. Julia Cruschwitz and Carolin Haentjes unveil their book on femicides in Germany with research from interviews with academics, criminologists, police officers, social workers, lawyers, survivors, witnesses and relatives and their analysis of scientific reports. Their work highlights how the issue of femicides affects the whole of society, but there are sensible ways to protect women more effectively from male violence. All we must do is take steps to follow these.
