Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Replication and originality are central concepts in the artistic oeuvres of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Remaking the Readymade reveals the underlying and previously unexplored processes and rationales for the collaboration between Duchamp Man Ray and Arturo Schwarz on the replication of readymades and objects. The 1964 editioned replicas of the readymades sent shock waves through the art world. Even though the replicas undermined ideas of authorship and problematized the notion of identity and the artist they paradoxically shared in the aura of the originals becoming stand-ins for the readymades. Scholar-poet-dealer Arturo Schwarz played a crucial role opening the door to joint or alternate authorship—an outstanding relationship between artist and dealer. By unearthing previously unpublished correspondence and documentary materials and combining this material with newly conducted exclusive interviews with key participants Remaking the Readymade details heretofore unrevealed aspects of the technical processes involved in the (re)creation of iconic long-lost Dada objects. Launched on the heels of the centenary of Duchamp’s Fountain this new analysis intensifies and complicates our understanding of Duchamp and Man Ray’ initial conceptions and raises questions about replication and authorship that will stimulate significant debate about the legacy of the artists the continuing significance of their works and the meaning of terms such as creativity originality and value in the formation of art. | Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

In this book Steve Gronert Ellerhoff explores short stories by Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut written between 1943 and 1968 with a post-Jungian approach. Drawing upon archetypal theories of myth from Joseph Campbell James Hillman and their forbearer C. G. Jung Ellerhoff demonstrates how short fiction follows archetypal patterns that can illuminate our understanding of the authors their times and their culture. In practice a post-Jungian ‘mythodology’ is shown to yield great insights for the literary criticism of short fiction. Chapters in this volume carefully contextualise and historicize each story including Bradbury and Vonnegut’s earliest and most imaginatively fantastic works. The archetypal constellations shaping Vonnegut’s early works are shown to be war and fragmentation while those in Bradbury’s are family and the wholeness of the sun. Analysis is complemented by the explored significance of illustrations that featured alongside the stories in their first publications. By uncovering the ways these popular writers redressed old myths in new tropes—and coined new narrative elements for hopes and fears born of their era—the book reveals a fresh method which can be applied to all imaginative short stories increasing understanding and critical engagement. Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut is an important text for a number of fields from Jungian and Post-Jungian studies to short story theoriesand American studies to Bradbury and Vonnegut studies. Scholars and students of literature will come away with a renewed appreciation for an archetypal approach to criticism while the book will also be of great interest to practising depth psychologists seeking to incorporate short stories into therapy. | Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

Archbishop Pole

Archbishop Pole

This fresh exploration of the life work and writing of Archbishop Pole focuses particularly on Pole’s final years (1556-58) as Archbishop of Canterbury. Fully integrating Pole’s English and Continental European experiences John Edwards places these in their historical context and signposts lessons for contemporary issues and concerns.

New Directions in Japan’s Security Non-U.S. Centric Evolution

New Directions in Japan’s Security Non-U.S. Centric Evolution

While the US-Japan alliance has strengthened since the end of the Cold War Japan has almost unnoticed been building security ties with other partners in the process reducing the centrality of the US in Japan’s security. This book explains why this is happening. Japan pursued security isolationism during the Cold War but the US was the exception. Japan hosted US bases and held joint military exercises even while shunning contacts with other militaries. Japan also made an exception to its weapons export ban to allow exports to the US. Yet since the end of the Cold War Japan’s security has undergone a quiet transformation moving away from a singular focus on the US as its sole security partner. Tokyo has begun diversifying its security ties. This book traces and explains this diversification. The country has initiated security dialogues with Asian neighbors assumed a leadership role in promoting regional multilateral security cooperation and begun building bilateral security ties with a range of partners from Australia and India to the European Union. Japan has even lifted its ban on weapons exports and co-development with non-US partners. This edited volume explores this trend of decreasing US centrality alongside the continued and perhaps even growing security (inter) dependence with the US. New Directions in Japan’s Security is an essential resource for scholars focused on Japan’s national security. It will also interest on a wider basis those wishing to understand why Japan is developing non-American directions in its security strategy. | New Directions in Japan’s Security Non-U. S.

Changing and Unchanging Face of U.S. Civil Society

Changing and Unchanging Face of U.S. Civil Society

Ray has written a book that should be read by anyone interested in the current debates about the general health of civil society in the United States. American Journal of Sociology The formation maintenance and well being of American civil society is a topic of intense debate in the social sciences. Until now this debate has lacked rigor with the term civil society commonly used interchangeably and imprecisely with other terms such as civic engagement. Today's discourse also lacks methodological discipline and relies too heavily on narrowly selected evidence in support of a particular argument. In this invaluable contribution to the debate Marcella Ridlen Ray supplies an empirical study based on a theoretical model of democratic civil society one that posits high levels of communication diversity autonomy mediation and voluntary association. In Ray's account the emergent story of U. S. civil society is that of a dynamic institution not necessarily one that is linear in its progression. It is a tale of flux resilience and stability over the long term that is consistent with subtexts on political equilibrium she notes in the work of early political analysts such as Aristotle Machiavelli Locke Burke and later Tocqueville. Ray dispels the widely accepted myth that Americans are increasingly apathetic and withdrawn from common interests. The evidence reveals a persistence of long-standing public spiritedness despite the fact that individuals use wider discretion in deciding if and how to attach to community and despite a historical lack of enthusiasm for performing civic duties in lieu of more pleasurable leisure activity. This public-spiritedness continues to reflect embedded religious-cultural values that disproportionately influence how and when people dedicate time and money to associational life. U. S. civil society has grown more inclusive and democratic as Americans venture at growing rates across differences in perspective ideas beliefs and experience to form diverse networks of interest association and community. No longer confined to an immediate or local area the social space of Americans now incorporates national international and cyber-spatial dimensions. Social connectedness is extensive due to the expansion of social space and the multiplication of weak social ties that transcend geographic and spatial boundaries. Ray's theoretical model gives form and coherence to her massive compilation of quantitative and qualitative data. She uses this to improve the visibility of civil society an institution essential to democracy itself. This volume provides the basis for a systematic evaluation of a major American institution as well as a framework for comparison with other Western democracies. | Changing and Unchanging Face of U.

Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Deterrence Choice and Crime explores the various dimensions of modern deterrence theory relevant research and practical applications. Beginning with the classical roots of deterrence theory in Cesare Beccaria’s profoundly important contributions to modern criminological thought the book draws out the many threads in contemporary criminology that are explicitly mentioned or at least hinted by Beccaria. These include sanction risk perceptions and their behavioral consequences the deterrent efficacy of the certainty versus the severity of punishment the role of celerity of punishment in the deterrence process informal versus formal deterrence and individual differences in deterrence. The richness of the volume is seen in the inclusion of chapters that focus on the theoretical development of deterrence across disciplines such as criminology and economics. In an innovative section the role of agents of deterrence is considered. Lessons are learned from the practical applications of deterrence undertaken in the areas of policing corrections and the community. The closing section includes Michael Tonry’s An Honest Politician’s Guide to Deterrence: Certainty Severity Celerity and Parsimony a reminder of Beccaria’s dictum that it is better to prevent crimes than punish them. In the current environment deterrence arguments are routinely used to justify policies that do just the opposite. Ray Paternoster who contributed two chapters passed away as this volume was being finalized. Fittingly this book is dedicated to him and ends with Alex Piquero’s poignant remembrance of Ray a path-breaking deterrence scholar beloved mentor and ardent supporter of social justice. Suitable for researchers and graduate students as well as for advanced courses in criminology this book breaks new ground in theorizing the effects of punishment and other sanctions on crime control. | Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native

Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native

Unplugging Popular Culture showcases youth and young adult characters from film and television who defy the stereotype of the digital native who acts as an unquestioning devotee to screened technologies like the smartphone. In this study unplugged tools or non-digital tools do not necessitate a ban on technology or a refusal to acknowledge its affordances but work instead to highlight the ability of fictional characters to move from high tech settings to low tech ones. By repurposing everyday materials characters model the process of reusing and upcycling existing materials in innovative ways. In studying examples such as Pitch Perfect Supernatural Stranger Things and Get Out the book aims to make theories surrounding materiality apparent within popular culture and to help today’s readers reconsider stereotypes of the young people they encounter on a daily basis. | Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native

Queer Objects

Queer Objects

Pursuing the discursive or material effects of relational queerness this book reflects on how objects can illuminate affect and animate queer modes of being. In the early 1990s the queer theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick defined queer as “multiply transitive . relational and strange ” rather than a fixed identity. In spite of this much of the queer theoretical scholarship of the last three decades has used queer as a synonym for anti-normative sexual identities. The contributions to this volume return to the idea of transitivity exploring what happens when queer is thought of as a turning toward or turning away from a diverse range of objects including bodily waste; frozen cats; archival ephemera; the writing of Virginia Woolf; the Pop art of Ray Johnson; the podcast S-Town; and Maggie Nelson’s memoir The Argonauts. Relevant to those studying queer theory this book will also be of wider interest to those researching identity and the way in which it is represented in a variety of artistic disciplines. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | Queer Objects

Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

By 1976 the National Front had become the fourth largest party in Britain. In a context of national decline racism and fears that the country was collapsing into social unrest the Front won 19 per cent of the vote in elections in Leicester and 100 000 votes in London. In response an anti-fascist campaign was born which combined mass action to deprive the Front of public platforms with a mass cultural movement. Rock Against Racism brought punk and reggae bands together as a weapon against the right. At Lewisham in August 1977 fighting between the far right and its opponents saw two hundred people arrested and fifty policemen injured. The press urged the state to ban two rival sets of dangerous extremists. But as the papers took sides so did many others who determined to oppose the Front. Through the Anti-Nazi League hundreds of thousands of people painted out racist graffiti distributed leaflets and persuaded those around them to vote against the right. This combined movement was one of the biggest mass campaigns that Britain has ever seen. This book tells the story of the National Front and the campaign which stopped it. | Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

Thomas Hardy Remembered

Thomas Hardy Remembered

Thomas Hardy Remembered assembles some 150 annotated interviews and recollections of Hardy most of which are being reprinted for the first time. They range from close personal reflections by old friends such as Sir George Douglas J. M. Barrie and Edmund Gosse to fleeting glimpses by strangers who saw Hardy at a London party or at his club. Martin Ray has selected items having the greatest literary or biographical significance and annotated them with meticulous accuracy and a keen eye for the telling detail. As a result the volume will be an invaluable resource to scholars who are interested not only in what concerned Hardy personally and professionally but also in how he was perceived by others. Having these items collected in one volume reveals Hardy's contemporaneous opinions about his own writings and also makes it possible to trace the marked recurrence over time of certain preoccupations: ancient families Hardy's hostility to reviewers architecture Roman relics Wessex folklore and dialect animal welfare Napoleon and hangings. With regard to his literary career a portrait emerges of Hardy as the scrupulous professional properly aware of his commercial rights while at the same time appearing to some who met him unconscious of his own genius.

Approaches to Economic Geography Towards a geographical political economy

Approaches to Economic Geography Towards a geographical political economy

The last four decades have seen major changes in the global economy with the collapse of communism and the spread of capitalism into parts of the world from which it had previously been excluded. Beginning with a grounding in Marxian political economy this book explores a range of new ideas as to what economic geography can offer as it intersects with public policy and planning in the new globalised economy. Approaches to Economic Geography draws together the formidable work of Ray Hudson into an authoritative collection offering a unique approach to the understanding of the changing geographies of the global economy. With chapters covering subjects ranging from uneven development to social economy this volume explores how a range of perspectives including evolutionary and institutional approaches can further elucidate how such economies and their geographies are reproduced. Subsequent chapters argue that greater attention must be given to the relationships between the economy and nature and that more consideration needs to be given to the growing significance of illegal activities in the economy. The book will be of interest to students studying economic geography as well as researchers and policy makers that recognise the importance of the relationships between economy and geography as we move towards a sustainable future economy and society.

Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

Drawing Parallels expands your understanding of the workings of architects by looking at their work from an alternative perspective. The book focuses on parallel projections such as axonometric isometric and oblique drawings. Ray Lucas argues that by retracing the marks made by architects we can begin to engage more directly with their practice as it is only by redrawing the work that hidden aspects are revealed. The practice of drawing offers significantly different insights not easily accessible through discourse analysis critical theory or observation. Using James Stirling JJP Oud Peter Eisenman John Hejduk and Cedric Price as case studies Lucas highlights each architect's creative practices which he anaylses with reference to Bergson's concepts of temporality and cretivity discussing ther manner in which creative problems are explored and solved. The book also draws on a range of anthropological ideas including skilled practice and enchantment in order to explore why axonometrics are important to architecture and questions the degree to which the drawing convention influences the forms produced by architects. With 60 black-and-white images to illustrate design development this book would be an essential read for academics and students of architecture with a particular interest in further understanding the inner workings of the architectural creative process. | Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

The first substantial Mexican colonial art historiography in English this book examines the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico as a symptom of the development of modern museum practice in mid-nineteenth-century Mexico City. Also an intellectual history this study recognizes the role of nationalism in the initiation of art historical practice in what is understood today more broadly as Latin America. Although there has been a steady stream of scholarship produced about the subject beginning in Mexico and increasingly in the United States what is variably known as viceregal or colonial Mexican Spanish colonial and colonial Latin American art continues to be underplayed or overlooked by most art historians and is thus marginal in the field of art history. Ray Hernández-Durán redresses that omission presenting a detailed examination of the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico. Drawing upon archival research this volume touches upon the role of politics on the formation of the first gallery of Mexican painting in the Academy of San Carlos and the first comprehensive historical treatment of the material in the form of a dialogue. Furthermore this study promotes further research in colonial art historiography and underlines the pivotal role that the Indo-Hispanic Americas played in the emergence of early modernity and the process of globalization. | The Academy of San Carlos and Mexican Art History Politics History and Art in Nineteenth-Century Mexico

Evolution of Government Policy Towards Homosexuality in the US Military The Rise and Fall of DADT

Evolution of Government Policy Towards Homosexuality in the US Military The Rise and Fall of DADT

Throughout history homosexuality has been a complicating factor for men and women electing to serve in the armed forces of the United States. The right to serve became increasingly complicated when the Department of Defense responded to congressional legislation in 1993 by adopting a policy that later became known as don’t ask don’t tell (DADT). DADT permitted homosexual members to serve in the forces so long as they showed no evidence of homosexual behavior. The compromise policy remained in force until Congress passed the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 and finally in September 2011 the ban on gay men and lesbians serving openly in the US armed forces officially came to an end. Reflecting on the 20-year period governed by DADT this volume explores the history culture attitudes and impacts of policy evolution from the mid-20th Century through to the present day. It not only provides insight to the scholarly field of how the most powerful institution in the world has viewed and dealt with homosexuality as it transitioned into the 21st century but it is also poised to become a seminal collection for researchers in the decades to come. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality. Parco and Levy have produced a fine edited volume dedicated to deepening our understanding of the federal DADT policy. What has resulted is a deep analysis of the federal policies regarding gays and lesbians in the U. S. military. This volume is filled with rich descriptions and analyses written by the very best thinkers about issues pertaining to gays and lesbians in the U. S. military. Parco and Levy not only offer a comprehensive treatment of DADT but their book will stand the test of time and spur additional important research about gay lesbian bisexual and queer service members. The Rise and Fall of DADT is accessibly written and offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the DADT federal policy and the attendant issues of equity social justice and ever-changing attitudes about LGBTQ people related to the U. S. military and to the larger American society. John P. Elia Ph. D. Editor-in-Chief Journal of Homosexuality and Professor and Associate Chair of Health Education at San Francisco State University USA As Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs from 2010 to 2012 and the first openly-gay senior official to serve at the Pentagon I was witness to and honored to be an active participant in the historic process that led to the ban on discrimination against lesbian and gay service members: men and women who had been hiding in plain sight while risking their lives to serve their country honorably. In this volume Jim Parco and Dave Levy provide what is perhaps the most comprehensive account to date of the evolution of US government policy regarding LGBT service members. Their study includes outstanding firsthand narratives by many friends who played central roles in the repeal of Don’t Ask/Don’t tell including Sue Fulton Jonathan Lee and former Congressman Patrick Murphy. Parco and Levy provide the opportunity for scholars experts and ordinary citizens from all walks of life to share in those journeys and in the very positive results that were achieved. Douglas B.

Gendered Modernity and Indian Cinema The Women in Satyajit Ray’s Films

Gendered Modernity and Indian Cinema The Women in Satyajit Ray’s Films

This book analyses the role of women in the films of one of the leading filmmakers of the ‘Third World’ in the 1950s Satyajit Ray a national icon in filmmaking in India. The book explores the portrayal of women in the context of the creation of national culture after India became independent. Gender issues were very important to India under Jawaharlal Nehru in the 1950s – with the enactment of inheritance and divorce laws. Ray’s portrayal of women and his films anticipate much of the theorizing of later-day feminism. This book analyses cinematic texts with special reference to the women characters using feminist film theory and representation along with a study of the socio-political and economic conditions pertinent to the times – both relevant to the film’s making and its setting. The primary texts studied are films spanning over four decades from Pather Panchali (1955) to his last trilogy and are based on a categorization of the broad feminine ‘types’ represented in the films – based on the socio-political situations in which they are placed – and their relationships with the other characters present. Ray’s portrayal of women has an enormous bearing on our understanding of how modern India evolved in the Nehru era and after and this book explore just that: the place of the woman as it is and should be in a young nation encumbered by patriarchy. Gendered Modernity and Indian Cinema will be of interest to academics in the field of World cinema Indian and Bengali cinema Film Studies as well as Gender Studies and South Asian culture and society. | Gendered Modernity and Indian Cinema The Women in Satyajit Ray’s Films

The Correspondence of H.G. Wells Volume 2 1904–1918

The Correspondence of H.G. Wells Volume 2 1904–1918

This collection of H. G. Wells's correspondence draws on over 50 archives and libraries worldwide including the papers of Wells's daughter by Amber Reeves. The book contains over 2 000 letters and while a few are business – to publishers agents and secretaries – the majority are much more personal. Wells's private correspondence extends from letters to President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and A. J. Balfour to persons such as ‘Mark Benney’ who wrote novels based on his life in the slums and his time in prison. There is correspondence too with his many female friends and lovers among them Rebecca West Eileen Power Gertrude Stein Marie Stopes Lilah MacCarthy and Dorothy Richardson. For example a letter from Moura Budberg with whom Wells had a long-standing affair which announces that she is pregnant by him and about to have an abortion reveals how an advocate of birth control is himself caught out.
