        Thierry and Theodoret

        John Fletcher, Philip Massinger and Nathan Field

        by Domenico Lovascio

        Enthusiastically praised by Charles Lamb and A. C. Swinburne but unjustly neglected since the early twentieth century, Thierry and Theodoret dramatizes events from medieval French history. With its disenchanted depiction of royalty, its eerie instability in terms of genre, and its black comic overtones, Thierry and Theodoret strikes as a distinctive specimen of tragic drama in the Jacobean mould and ranks as one of the most powerful plays in the canon of John Fletcher and his collaborators. This Revels Plays volume is the first fully annotated critical edition of the play, and the first to attribute it to Nathan Field alongside Fletcher and Philip Massinger. It provides a thorough introduction reassessing the play's engagement with its sources - including Shakespeare - and discusses the dating, authorship, and reception of this bizarrely captivating play, pointing the way for future scholarship, especially of a historical or gender-based nature.

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English. ;

        The white woman in colonial India, c.1820–1930

        by Series edited by Andrew S. Thompson, Indrani Sen

        This book seeks to capture the complex experience of the white woman in colonial India through an exploration of gendered interactions over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines missionary and memsahibs' colonial writings, both literary and non-literary, probing their construction of Indian women of different classes and regions, such as zenana women, peasants, ayahs and wet-nurses. Also examined are delineations of European female health issues in male authored colonial medical handbooks, which underline the misogyny undergirding this discourse. Giving voice to the Indian woman, this book also scrutinises the fiction of the first generation of western-educated Indian women who wrote in English, exploring their construction of white women and their negotiations with colonial modernities. This fascinating book will be of interest to the general reader and to experts and students of gender studies, colonial history, literary and cultural studies as well as the social history of health and medicine.

        Women and the far right

        by Lois Shearing

        A daring investigation that explores how women are targeted and recruited by the far right. As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women. Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, Lois Shearing provides a cutting-edge account of how the far right has used the internet to recruit women, while shedding light on what life is like for women within these movements, including their experiences of misogyny and violence. Understanding how and why women join movements that explicitly aim to restrict their autonomy is essential if we want to fight back. Pink-pilled offers key insights for countering women's radicalisation and building communities resistant to far-right thought.

        Speak out!

        Die Kraft weiblicher Wut

        by Soraya Chemaly, Kirsten Riesselmann, Gesine Schröder

        Frauen haben in unserer Gesellschaft allen Grund, wütend zu sein – Sexismus, Diskriminierung, Misogynie –, aber zornige Frauen gelten als hysterisch, und so schweigen sie. Bis jetzt. Die US-amerikanische Aktivistin Soraya Chemaly zeigt in ihrem aufrüttelnden Buch, welche befreiende Kraft in weiblicher Wut steckt. Gleichbehandlung ist bis heute inexistent: Mädchen sollen artig sein, Jungen durchsetzungsfähig. Frauen werden im Berufsalltag doppelt so oft unterbrochen wie ihre Kollegen. Bei gleichen Symptomen bekommen Männer Schmerzmittel – und Frauen Beruhigungsmittel. Anhand von Fakten und persönlichen Erlebnissen veranschaulicht Chemaly, wie die Erfahrung von Sexismus sich in Psyche und Körper von Frauen einschreibt und zu einer tiefsitzenden Wut wird. In Speak out! plädiert Chemaly für eine radikale Neubewertung weiblicher Wut: Richtig eingesetzt, kann sie zu einer mächtigen Waffe gegen persönliche und politische Unterdrückung werden und uns helfen, die Welt zu verändern.

        Art history

        A critical introduction to its methods

        by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk

        Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

        Lust

        Fuckability, orgasm gap and #metoo

        by Henriette Hell

        Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

        Femicide

        Violence against women

        by Julia Cruschwitz, Carolin Haentjes

        In Germany, 132 women were murdered by their (ex-)partners over the past year, according to police statistics. An attempted murder happened every other day – the real figure is in all probability much higher. Julia Cruschwitz and Carolin Haentjes unveil their book on femicides in Germany with research from interviews with academics, criminologists, police officers, social workers, lawyers, survivors, witnesses and relatives and their analysis of scientific reports. Their work highlights how the issue of femicides affects the whole of society, but there are sensible ways to protect women more effectively from male violence. All we must do is take steps to follow these.

        The Devil's Historians

        How Modern Extremists Abuse the Medieval Past

        by Amy S. Kaufman, Paul B. Sturtevant

        Amy S. Kaufman and Paul B. Sturtevant examine the many ways in which the medieval past has been manipulated to promote discrimination, oppression, and murder. Tracing the fetish for “medieval times” behind toxic ideologies like nationalism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, misogyny, and white supremacy, Kaufman and Sturtevant show us how the Middle Ages have been twisted for political purposes in every century that followed. The Devil’s Historians casts aside the myth of an oppressive, patriarchal medieval monoculture and reveals a medieval world not often shown in popular culture: one that is diverse, thriving, courageous, compelling, and complex.

        An amusing story about families and gender equality from a famous author A mom realizes that life is much better for people who have a moustache. So, why shouldn’t she grow one as well? The rest of the family naturally objected to this. But the real problem came up when other moms did the same thing and grew their own moustaches. Of course, it wasn’t acceptable for their husbands, or the authorities. An amusing story about gender equality…

        Maybe some of the best short stories written in Spanish aren’t what we thought they were. There are several unjustifiable absences, amazing works of art buried by misogyny, disdain or laziness. This anthology of Latin American writers was born to question the conviction that we know the best short stories written during the XX century. We want to destabilize our literary history. It’s necessary to reread our past in order to vindicate authors and texts that shouldn’t be forgotten. This book is only an example: twenty short stories –and twenty women writers– that establish a dialogue with each other from twenty different Latin American countries as well as Spain. The selection criteria is only, and foremost, artistic quality.

        Right-Wing Ego-Shooter

        From Online Agitation to Livestream Assassination

        by Jean-Philipp Baeck, Andreas Speit (ed.)

        A locked wooden door prevented a massacre. On 9th October 2019, a right-wing extremist planned to murder Jews that had gathered in a synagogue. He shot at the door with self-made weapons and threw improvised explosive devices. He had obtained the instructions for these weapons online. Like-minded people could watch online how he executed two people nearby. Using a helmet camera, he broadcasted the murders to an online platform for videos of computer games. With his action he imitated a right-wing ego-shooter from Christchurch, New Zealand, who had broadcasted himself killing 51 people live on Facebook. What drives those men to bring the violence from their computer screens into reality? The authors follow the traces of the assassins and describe the special ways of online radicalisation. They explain the backgrounds and motives of these “lone wolfs”, who foster their toxic masculinity, misogyny and antisemitism in right-wing online communities. The book reveals insights to a disturbing world that is unknown to many people.

        Why Bushwick Bill Matters

        by Charles Hughes

        In 1989 the Geto Boys released a blistering track, “Size Ain’t Shit,” that paid tribute to the group’s member Bushwick Bill. Born with dwarfism, Bill was one of few visibly disabled musicians to achieve widespread fame and one of even fewer to address disability in a direct, sustained manner. Initially hired as a dancer, Bill became central to the Geto Boys as the Houston crew became one of hip-hop’s most important groups.             Why Bushwick Bill Matters chronicles this crucial artist and explores what he reveals about the relationships among race, sex, and disability in pop music. Charles L. Hughes examines Bill's recordings and videos (both with the Geto Boys and solo), from the horror-comic persona of “Chuckie” to vulnerable verses in songs such as “My Mind’s Playin’ Tricks On Me,” to discuss his portrayals of dwarfism, addiction, and mental illness. Hughes also explores Bill’s importance to his era and to the longer history of disability in music. A complex figure, Bill exposed the truths of a racist and ableist society even as his violent and provocative lyrics put him in the middle of debates over censorship and misogyny. Confrontational and controversial, Bushwick Bill left a massive legacy as he rhymed and swaggered through an often-inaccessible world.

        What culture does with women's bodies

        by Catherine McCormack

        A feminist art history and a fierce challenge to the ways we depict, and are taught to see, women’s bodies. Plunging into the realms of art history, popular visual culture and advertising, McCormack opens our eyes to how archetypal depictions of women – as mothers, daughters, Venuses, whores, dolls, nasty women, etc. – have encouraged us to objectify and subjugate, and to normalise violence towards them. Taking in classic works of art by the likes of Titian and Picasso, as well as contemporary representations of women in everything from Hollywood films to perfume advertisements to censored Instagram images, McCormack reconsiders the context in which images of women have been produced, displayed and reproduced – and the appeal to ‘beauty’ that has stopped us from seeing the misogyny of some of the world’s ‘greatest’ artists and public figures. It’s time to learn new ways of seeing. Sharp edged and stylish, WOMEN IN THE PICTURE is a twenty-first-century update to John Berger’s classic Ways of Seeing that slyly neutralizes the sexism of traditional art history. An essential read for art enthusiasts, women’s history buffs, and anyone looking to change how they see.

        Resilience Is Futile

        The Life and Death and Life of Julie S. Lalonde

        by Julie S. Lalonde

        A memoir of terror. An indictment of a misogynistic system that silences survivors For over a decade Julie Lalonde kept a secret. As an award-winning advocate for women’s rights, she criss-crossed the country, denouncing violence against women and giving hundreds of media interviews along the way. Her work made national headlines for challenging universities and taking on Canada’s top military brass. But while appearing fearless on the surface, Julie met every interview and event with the same fear in her gut: was he here? Fleeing intimate partner violence at age twenty, Julie was stalked by her ex-partner for over ten years, rarely mentioning it to friends, let alone addressing it publicly. The contrast between her public career as a brave champion for women with her own private life of violence and fear meant a shaky and exhausting balancing act. Resilience is Futile is a story of survival, courage, and ultimately, hope. But it is also a challenge to the ways we understand trauma and resilience. It is the story of one survivor who won’t give up and refuses to shut up.
