E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism Queer Matters

E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism Queer Matters

Through attending to the nonhuman E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism: Queer Matters places Forster’s fiction in conversation with contemporary debates concerned with the intersection of neomaterialism environmental humanities and queer ecology. The book revisits Forster’s liberal humanism from a materialist perspective by focusing on humans’ embodied activities in artificial and natural environments. By examining the everyday embodied experiences of characters the book thus brings to the fore insignificant and sometimes overlooked aspects in Forster’s fiction. It also places importance on the texts’ treatment of queer intimacy as an embodied experience that can transcend sexual desire. The book acknowledges nonhuman agency as central to our understanding of queerness in Forster’s texts and studies the representation of formless matters such as dust as a way through which Forster’s ecological concerns arise by linking the fate of oppressed humans with oppressed nonhuman others. | E.

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

This interdisciplinary book draws on leading scholarship on one of the most influential and consequential social movements of the past decades: Spain’s 15-M movement. The volume explores the legacy impact and outcomes of the movement and the lessons it offers for understanding mobilization in times of crisis. The book opens with a theoretical reconsideration of the positive ways social movements can impact democracy moving the field forward significantly. It also offers rich case studies to explore a range of areas of interest to social movement scholars. Chapters explore the biographical consequences of participation in social movements; how memories of the movement inspired new mobilizations; the reciprocal influence between the 15-M movement and feminist economics; how urban democracy was transformed by municipalism arising from the movement; how the movement generated a “Caring democracy” in the face of the Covid pandemic; and how it gave rise to a new radical democratic media ecosystem. The book explores the movement’s political economy as well as reflects on one of its unintended consequences: the rise of the penalization of counter-hegemonic protest in contemporary Spain. Although focused on a single emblematic movement it offers significant insights and lessons for scholarship on contemporary politics and movements. Re-imagining Democracy provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the challenges faced by contemporary democracies the dynamics of social movements in times of crisis and the profound impact of social movements on contemporary democracy.

Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Sergei M. Eisenstein's Work Cinema and Psychoanalysis in Soviet Russia

Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Sergei M. Eisenstein's Work Cinema and Psychoanalysis in Soviet Russia

In this insightful book Alberto Angelini shows the influence of psychoanalysis and psychology on Sergei M. Eisenstein one of the most celebrated Russian directors and his cinematic output. Angelini situates Eisenstein’s life and oeuvre in the history and culture of twentieth-century Russia drawing clear parallels between his networking with key figures such as Lev Vygotsky and Aleksandr Luria. He utilises the tools of psychology with the insight of psychoanalysis to illuminate the ways in which Eisenstein understood art as an anthropological enterprise while maintaining the same dialectical philosophy as the director in highlighting the many disciplines and figures that he drew inspiration from. Angelini also looks in depth at the influence psychoanalytic theories of regression had on Eisenstein’s approach to art while examining the impact Stalinism had directly on both Eisenstein and psychoanalysis at large from the 1930s onwards. This book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts students and scholars of film studies as well as those interested in the intersection between psychoanalytic theory cinema and the arts. | Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Sergei M.

The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

Focusing on Kenya’s path-breaking mobile money project M-Pesa this book examines and critiques the narratives and institutions of digital financial inclusion as a development strategy for gender equality arguing for a politics of redistribution to guide future digital financial inclusion projects. One of the most-discussed digital financial inclusion projects M-Pesa facilitates the transfer of money and access to formal financial services via the mobile phone infrastructure and has grown at a phenomenal rate since its launch in 2007 to reach about 80 per cent of the Kenyan population. Through a socio-legal enquiry drawing on feminist political economy law and development scholarship and postcolonial feminist debate this book unravels the narratives and institutional arrangements that frame M-Pesa’s success while interrogating the relationship between digital financial inclusion and gender equality in development discourse. Natile argues that M-Pesa is premised on and regulated according to a logic of opportunity rather than a politics of redistribution favouring the expansion of the mobile money market in preference to contributing to substantive gender equality via a redistribution of the revenue and funding deriving from its development. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in Global Political Economy Socio-Legal Studies Gender Studies Law & Development Finance and International Relations. | The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The British Arctic Expedition of 1875–6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic where science was almost as important as geographical exploration. There were hopes that the expedition might find the hypothetical open polar sea and with it the longed-for Northwest Passage and it did reach the highest northern latitude to date. The Royal Society compiled instructions for the expedition and selected two full-time naturalists (an unusual naval concession to science) of whom one Henry Wemyss Feilden proved a worthy choice. Feilden was a soldier who fought in most of the wars in his lifetime including the American Civil War on the Confederate side. On board HMS Alert he kept a daily journal a record important for its scientific content but also as a view of the expedition as seen by a soldier revealing admiration and appreciation for his naval colleagues; he performed whatever tasks were given to him including the rescue of returning sledge parties stricken by scurvy. He also did a remarkably comprehensive job in mapping the geology of Smith Sound; some of his work on the Cape Rawson Beds was the most reliable until the 1950s. He was an all-round naturalist and a particularly fine geologist and ornithologist. He was not just a collector; he pondered the significance of his findings within the context of the best modern science of his day: in zoology Charles Darwin on evolution; in botany Hooker on phytogeography and in geology Charles Lyell’s system. He illustrated his journal with his own sketches and also enclosed the printed programmes of popular entertainments held on the ship and verses for birthdays and sledging (there was a printing press onboard). The journal gives a vigorous impression of a ship’s company well occupied through the winter then increasingly active in sledging and geographical discovery in spring before the scurvy-induced decision to head home in the summer of 1876. After his return Feilden had dealings with many scientists and their institutions finding homes for and meaning in his collections. | The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A.
