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 By unearthing previously unpublished correspondence and documentary materials and combining this material with newly conducted exclusive interviews with key participants Remaking the Readymade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

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

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

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

Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons provides a window into the work of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) health professionals advocates and activists as they persuaded diplomats parliamentarians the media and the public to ban nuclear weapons. Why are doctors speaking out about nuclear weapons and nuclear war an issue that seems to be the exclusive province of diplomats politicians and security experts? This volume offers an answer in the unique perspective of health professionals on the nature of nuclear weapons their medical and humanitarian consequences and the responsibility to prevent what cannot be treated. On 7 July 2017 the UN successfully concluded negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The ban treaty emerged from a humanitarian initiative that shifted the focus away from deterrence-based rationales used by the nuclear-armed states and toward an evidence-based understanding of the existential threat nuclear weapons pose to humanity. Since 1980 IPPNW has been the leading medical organization primarily dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons. With its civil society partners in ICAN—the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons—IPPNW brought the scientific evidence about nuclear weapons and nuclear war into the treaty negotiations and into the language of the TPNW itself. The contributors to this volume show the dedication and diverse strategies that have together made up a unified and very significant contribution to ridding the world of nuclear weapons. Reflecting honestly on what has been learnt and have the potential to contribute to wider learning outside the anti-nuclear community Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will be of great use to medical and health professionals humanitarian professionals and anyone wanting to work towards a more peaceful and equitable world.

Abortion in the USA and the UK

Abortion in the USA and the UK

Recent years have revealed the different experiences of abortion in the UK and the USA. The United States has a higher abortion rate accompanied by a higher political profile for the issue. In fact one of George W. Bush's first acts in 2001 was to ban American funding for overseas organizations carrying out abortions. The USA has also experienced a higher degree of abortion-related violence with several people linked to abortion services being targeted and even killed. Compelling and enlightening in its approach this invigorating volume compares the two countries' abortion laws and outlines the distinctions. The usually conservative American society has a much more liberal abortion law than the United Kingdom whose female citizens can obtain an abortion relatively easily although in fact they do not have the right to choose. This stimulating volume examines the comparative positions taken by each country and makes important suggestions for the future. | Abortion in the USA and the UK

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
