      Debating civilisations

      Interrogating civilisational analysis in a global age

      by Jeremy C. A. Smith

      Contemporary civilisational analysis has emerged in the post-Cold War period as a forming but already controversial field of scholarship. Debating civilisations seeks to evaluate the main currents of the field and its principal competitors. The author draws a unique comparison of many key scholars of civilisations, comparing civilisational analysis with competing perspectives and presenting a fresh theoretical approach. Debating civilisations will appeal to academics and postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students in the fields of history, comparative and historical sociology and social theory.

      The contract of mutual indifference

      The contract of mutual indifference

      New edition with an introduction by Oliver Kamm

      by Norman Geras, Oliver Kamm

      'The idea which I shall present here came to me more or less out of the blue. I was on a train some fives years ago, on my way to spend a day at Headingley, and I was reading a book about the death camp Sobibor... The particular, not very appropriate, conjunction involved for me in this train journey... had the effect of fixing my thoughts on one of the more dreadful features of human coexistence, when in the shape of a simple five-word phrase the idea occurred to me.' The contract of mutual indifference. In this book Norman Geras discusses a central aspect of the experience of the Holocaust with a view to exploring its most important contemporary implications. In a bold and powerful synthesis of memorial, literary record, historical reflection and political theory, he focuses on the figure of the bystander - the bystander to the destruction of the Jaws of Europe and the bystander to more recent atrocity - to consider the moral consequences of looking on without active responses at persecution and great suffering. Geras argues that the tragedy of European Jewry. so widely pondered by historians, social scientists, psychologists, theologians and others, has not yet found its proper reflection within political philosophy. Attempting to fill the gap, he adapts an old idea from within that tradition of enquiry, the idea of the social contract, to the task of thinking about the triangular relation between perpetrators, victims and bystanders, and draws on sombre conclusion from it. Geras goes on to ask how far this conclusion may be offset by the hypothesis of a universal duty to bring aid. The contract of mutual indifference is an original and challenging work, aimed at the complacent abstraction of much contemporary theory-building. It is supplemented by three shorter essays on the implications of the Jewish catastrophe for conceptions of human nature and progress and for certain types of Marxist explanation.

      The ethics of researching the far right

      Critical approaches and reflections

      by Antonia Vaughan, Joan Braune, Meghan Tinsley, Aurelien Mondon

      At a time when far, radical, and extreme-right politics are becoming increasingly mainstream globally - sometimes with deadly consequences - research in these fields is essential to understand the most effective ways to combat these dangerous ideologies. Yet engaging with texts and movements that do physical and verbal violence raises a number of urgent ethical issues. Until recently, this has remained understudied, as scholarship on the far right rarely delves explicitly and critically into the ethics of research. This book seeks to remedy this significant gap in an otherwise extensive and growing literature. Originating from a workshop series in 2020, in which an international group of academics at various career stages shared the ethical challenges and best practices they had developed in their research, this edited collection draws together insights from these ongoing conversations, offering urgent critical reflections on key ethical issues.

      Beyond the BBFC

      Local and regional film censorship in the UK

      by Sian Barber

      This work scrutinises British film censorship from a local perspective. Examining different regions and areas, the work of individual councils and their relations with one another and with the BBFC, it offers a broad historical exploration of the intricacies of film censorship in action. Drawing on local archival material and considering the activities of local government in enforcing Cinematograph legislation, this work considers the significance of film censorship apparatus and processes in shaping and informing responses to and control of film culture in different locations across the twentieth century.

      Jews in the Ottoman State until the End of the Nineteenth Century

      by Ahmet Hikmet Eroğlu (Prof.), Ahmed Abdullah Negm (Prof.)

      Muslims have never treated Jews in a racial manner and the Ottoman State was not an exception. When Europe had expelled Jews after the establishment of the Inquisition, they had only two options: either Christianization or emigration. The main emigration was to the Ottoman State after their expulsion from Spain in 1492, and from Portugal in 1496. Jews spread throughout the Ottoman State, participated in its practical life, played important roles in trade and handicrafts, and were allowed to apply their religious laws, as rabbis were considering the proceedings that arise among them. However, Jews had a very negative impact on the state’s economy. The inflation that began in the sixteenth century was due to their nipping off bits of coins’ edges, which led to a decrease in soldiers’ purchasing power, causing at times the Janissary and Sipahis mutinies and harming the system of the state and society. This book discusses the Jewish immigration to the Ottoman State, its causes, consequences, and impacts on the Ottoman Palace and society, as well as the social history of Jews under the Ottoman rule.

      Conviction

      The Making and Unmaking of the Violent Brain

      by Oliver Rollins

      Biological explanations for violence have existed for centuries, as has criticism of this kind of deterministic science, haunted by a long history of horrific abuse and its influence over the theories of eugenics used by Hitler and the Nazi Party. Yet, this program has endured because of, and not despite, its notorious legacy. Today's scientists are well beyond the simplicity of the nature versus nurture debate. Instead, they assert that scientific progress has led to a belief in nature and nurture, biological and social, a stance that allows this science to supposedly avoid the pitfalls of the past. In Conviction, Oliver Rollins cautions against this optimism, arguing that the way these categories are imagined ignores a dangerous link between history and the present. The late 1980s ushered in a wave of techno-scientific advancements in the genetic and brain sciences. Rollins focuses on an often-ignored strand of research, the neuroscience of violence, which he argues became a key player in the larger conversation about the biological origins of criminal, violent behavior. Using powerful technologies, neuroscientists have rationalized an idea of the violent brain—or a brain that bears the marks of predisposition towards "dangerousness." Drawing on extensive analysis of neurobiological research, interviews with neuroscientists, and participant observation, Rollins finds that this idea of the brain is ill-equipped to deal with the complexities and contradictions of the social world, much less the ethical implications of informing treatment based on such simplified definitions. Rollins warns of the potentially devastating effects of a science that promises to "predict" criminals before the crime is committed, in a world whose understanding of violence is already influenced by prejudice and inequality.
