The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.

Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Recent years have seen a burgeoning of novels that respond to the environmental issues we currently face. Among these Louise Squire defines environmental crisis fiction as concerned with a range of environmental issues and with the human subject as a catalyst for these issues. She argues that this fiction is characterised by a thematic use of death through which it explores a crisis of both environment and self. Squire refers to this emergent thematic device as death-facing ecology. This device enables this fiction to engage with a range of theoretical ideas and with popular notions of death and the human condition as cultural phenomena of the modern West. In doing so this fiction invites its readers to consider how humanity might begin to respond to the crisis. | Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Ecocinema in the City

Ecocinema in the City

In Ecocinema in the City Murray and Heumann argue that urban ecocinema both reveals and critiques visions of urban environmentalism. The book emphasizes the increasingly transformative power of nature in urban settings explored in both documentaries and fictional films such as Children Underground White Dog Hatari! and Lives Worth Living. The first two sections—Evolutionary Myths Under the City and Urban Eco-trauma—take more traditional ecocinema approaches and emphasize the city as a dangerous constructed space. The last two sections—Urban Nature and Interdependence and The Sustainable City—however bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature. Ecocinema in the City provides a space to explore these relationships revealing how ecocinema shows that both human and nonhuman nature can interact sustainably and thrive.

Flashbacks in Film A Cognitive and Multimodal Analysis

Flashbacks in Film A Cognitive and Multimodal Analysis

Flashbacks in Film examines film flashback as a rich multimodal narrative device analyzing the cognitive underpinnings of film flashbacks and the mechanisms that lead viewers to successfully comprehend them. Combining a cognitive film theory approach with the theoretical framework proposed by blending theory which claims that human beings’ general ability for conceptual integration underlies most of our daily activities this book argues that flashbacks make sense to the viewer as they are specifically designed for the viewer’s cognitive understanding.

Broken Bodies Places and Objects New Perspectives on Fragmentation in Archaeology

Broken Bodies Places and Objects New Perspectives on Fragmentation in Archaeology

Broken Bodies Places and Objects demonstrates the breadth of fragmentation and fragment use in prehistory and history and provides an up-to-date insight into current archaeological thinking around the topic. A seal broken and shared by two trade parties dog jaws accompanying the dead in Mesolithic burials fragments of ancient warships commodified as souvenirs parts of an ancient dynastic throne split up between different colonial collections… Pieces of the past are everywhere around us. Fragments have a special potential precisely because of their incomplete format – as a new matter that can reference its original whole but can also live on with new unrelated meanings. Deliberate breakage of bodies places and objects for the use of fragments has been attested from all time periods in the past. It has now been over 20 years since John Chapman’s major publication introducing fragmentation studies and the topic is more present than ever in archaeology. This volume offers the first European-wide review of the concept of fragmentation collecting case studies from the Neolithic to Modernity and extending the ideas of fragmentation theory in new directions. The book is written for scholars and students in archaeology but it is also relevant for neighbouring fields with an interest in material culture such as anthropology history cultural heritage studies museology art and architecture. | Broken Bodies Places and Objects New Perspectives on Fragmentation in Archaeology

World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by the fact that nearly 1 000 properties have now been designated as possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the imperative for their protection. However the remarkable success of the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites. | World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

First published in 1989 Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model assumes that since the October Revolution the development of the Soviet Union has essentially been a process of trial and error. Economic rationality has been sacrificed to political expedients and the cultural sphere has been put to use as a legitimating and rationalizing device. This book analyses the internal logic of this process from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to Gorbachev’s ‘revolution from above’ including coverage of the Stalin Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras. The book focuses on the structural determinants of the Soviet Model thus seeking to reveal the specific rationalities that characterizes ‘Soviet man’. Its conclusion casts serious doubt on the likelihood of new policies defeating seven decades of Bolshevik rule and social indoctrination. It will be of interest to students of economics political science and history. | Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

This title was first published in 2001. This work examines four post-Cold War interventions launched on behalf of people on the move: international action in Iraq Bosnia Somalia and Rwanda. Because these crises accompanied the emergence of the concept of Internationally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in international relations they have shaped the understandings of forced displacement issues such as ethnic cleansing need and humanitarian action. The author looks at attitudes towards IDPs concluding that UN-backed interventions regarding displaced civilians were primarily about deterring sometimes preventing them from escaping places of conflict. Protection in this context became a device by which international protagonists sought to contain people on the move within the confines of their collapsed states. As a result levels of safety effectively granted by the international community depended less on the vulnerability of populations than on Western fears of mass border crossings. | The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit
