Towards the Responsible Management of Disputes in Southeast Asia
Authors: Tan See Seng
Published: May 2020

This chapter explores how regional responsibility is expressed in the context of Southeast Asia’s creep towards the pacific settlement of trade and territorial disputes. It examines the nexus between sovereignty and responsibility, which is also partly manifested in the way regional countries have coalesce around the notion of a rules-based order in the Asia-Pacific, where responsible stakeholders presumably abide by rules-based governance, consensually agreed codes of interstate conduct and resort to peaceful means of dispute settlement. This includes ASEAN’s slow evolution towards a rules-based regional governance and a ‘legal personality’ in the form of the ASEAN charter. It also looks at the increasing reliance by Southeast Asian countries on international dispute settlement regimes and mechanisms as means, such as mediation, reconciliation, arbitration and/or adjudication, for resolving their disputes over trade and territory. Crucially, increasing reliance on peace means of dispute resolution does not automatically lead to a concomitant reduction in conflicts and disputes between regional countries; indeed, it might even engender more disputes because governments are now encouraged to raise issues in the mutual expectation that contending parties are unlikely to resort to war to settle their conflicts.
Conclusion: Inequality, Liminality and Risk
Authors: Leonard Pauline , Wilde Rachel J.
Published: May 2020

This chapter provides an overview of the book by drawing out four key themes which emerged through the chapters as of key significance for understanding youth employability in the United Kingdom: regionality, social inequality, liminality and risk. Taking each of these in turn, the chapter demonstrates how the pervasive force of neoliberalism shapes youth employment policy and youth labour markets in the diverse regions of the UK. In order to ‘get in’ and then to ‘get on’, Britain’s young people must demonstrate neoliberal qualities such as individualisation, responsibilisation and resilience to risk. At the same time, the ability to perform this version of the self is powerfully shaped by social structure.
Background
Authors: McLean Robert
Published: May 2020

This chapter opens with the major heading ‘Introduction’, and explores how since the turn of the century there has been a drastic increase in the perception that US style street gangs are now being found on UK soil. These gangs consist of individuals who are organising themselves into gang or gang-like structures/networks to conduct gang business: which are often linked to illegal drug supply. The chapter then draws attention to the fact that while there has been a scurry of activity south of the border in England where gang researchers to explore whether or not UK gangs are really now beginning to resemble their US counterparts, in Scotland this has not been the case as gang research has stagnate: focusing only upon the gang in its embryo stage of development. The chapter then moves to setting the research background with the major heading ‘Glasgow: The Backdrop’ before introducing the reader to the research sample.
Transnational Migration Studies
Authors: Özkazanç-Pan Banu
Published: May 2020

This chapter outlines the three main concepts that are derived from transnational migration studies. Transnational migration signifies mobility that not only spans geographies but also space and social fields, allowing scholars to account for and understand how (new) forms of identity, belonging, and nationhood materialize. In turn, the ongoing societal changes taking shape by way of transnational migration reflect a new reality and social condition, that of mobility and encounters between/among people across relations of difference that are themselves constantly shifting. To expand on new directions for management scholarship that are possible based on transnational migration studies, this chapter identifies three key concepts: multiscalar global perspective, moving beyond methodological nationalism and globalhistorical conjunctures. Each of these concepts are expanded upon in terms of their main points and contributions to thinking about the new social condition of mobility as it relates to theorizing people, difference and work—an endeavour that is the focus of the following three chapters.
World Guru India
Authors: Hall Ian
Published: May 2020

This chapter analyses one of the most prominent aspects of Narendra Modi’s attempt to reinvent Indian foreign policy: his push to turn India into a ‘world guru’. It argues that this idea is deeply embedded in Hindu nationalist thinking and is widely supported on among the contemporary Hindu Right. The chapter traces the development of the idea that India ought to do more to build and leverage ‘soft power’ in international relations from the early 2000s onwards. It explores the Modi government’s effort to infuse India’s public diplomacy with Hindu nationalist themes, to promote yoga and supposedly Hindu ideas about the management of the environment and climate. It looks too at the unusual methods that the Modi government used to try to make India a world guru, including the use of inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogues.
National Power and Regional Security
Authors: Hall Ian
Published: May 2020

This chapter analyses the Modi government’s management of national security. It explores the role played by both inherited Hindu nationalist and newer understandings of India’s role as a potential ‘net security provider’ and ‘leading power’. It examines the government’s handling of India’s relations with China and the United States, as well as with Pakistan. And it addresses the vexed issue of security sector reform and military modernisation. It argues that despite considerable ambition and a concerted and largely successful attempt to build a stronger partnership with the US, Modi’s India struggled to come to terms with the sheer scale of the task of extending and leveraging the country’s hard power.
Imagining Alternative Futures
Authors: Diprose Kristina , Valentine Gill , Vanderbeck Robert M. , Liu Chen , Mcquaid Katie
Published: May 2020

This chapter considers how intergenerational community-based research and creative practice can support public engagement, foster intergenerational dialogue and inspire sustainable action on climate change. It outlines three collaborations that were part of the INTERSECTION programme: a Write About Time workshop led by Sheffield poet Helen Mort; intergenerational participatory research to support creative environmental knowledge sharing in Jinja; and a Sustainability Dancersculpture created by Sheffield artist Anthony Bennett. This work offers a lens to reflect on key findings from across the programme, suggesting creative possibilities for engaging with climate change and informing pathways to just sustainability.
Social Research Matters
Authors: Brannen Julia
Published: May 2020

From the vantage point of forty years in social research and the study of families, the author of this book offers an invaluable account of how research is conducted and ‘matters’ at particular times. The book has two main themes that are interwoven throughout the text. A central theme is how social research matters in relation to historical context. A second theme focuses on the practice of social research; research is a craft that is learned with and from others as well as through reading methodological texts and training. Although the expertise of the researcher is crucial to all phases of the research process, much of the success of funded research is dependent on collaboration and the creation of conditions that are conducive to team-based research.
This fascinating work covers key developments in the field that remain of vital concern to society and demonstrates how social research is an art as well as a science — a process that involves craft and creativity.
Mothers and the Labour Market
Authors: Brannen Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter reflects on the shifting public discourses in Britain concerning mothers and the labour market from the end of the Second World War and shows how the framing of research questions reflects these changing public discourses. At the end of the Second World War, women were ejected from many of the jobs in which they had worked in wartime to create work for returning servicemen. This ejection marked a watershed in women's lives and a backward step in female emancipation. The author began research on mothers in the labour market in the late 1970s. At that time, home was still promoted as the ‘best place’ to rear young children and mothers the best people to do so. This narrative shifted in the late 1980s, reflecting not only the rapid growth in the employment of mothers with young children but the increased emphasis placed by government on market forces and the notion of ‘individual choice’. Reflecting these changes, the social research agenda also shifted. In the 1960s and 1970s, motherhood was a small field of inquiry occupied mainly by those concerned with family life or child development. Gradually, much of the territory of ‘family studies’ was taken over by feminist sociologists whose work threw the spotlight on to patriarchy and women's oppression.
Inside the Household
Authors: Brannen Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter looks at the household, focusing on women: how they were consigned to the home and how their status and power over household resources have been historically shaped by men. While women had achieved a degree of emancipation and the role of housewife a degree of status and importance previously lacking, the return of male servicemen to their homes and communities following the end of the Second World War raised policy issues on several fronts. A number of needs had to be met: servicemen had to be found work and the demographic decline needed reversing, requiring women to be child bearers and homemakers. Policymakers turned their attention to these, often competing, policy demands. But ultimately the sexual division of labour in the household was not questioned; so men remained the main breadwinners and the principle prevailed that first and foremost women should devote themselves to their families and be dependent on men's earnings. From the 1970s, there was a major conceptual shift in the social sciences as feminist researchers deconstructed the ‘family’ in order to counteract dominant discourses surrounding a single family form as both desirable and the norm. In this process, households in all their variety began to be identified in the context of rising rates of lone motherhood and step-families.
Children and Young People in Families
Authors: Brannen Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter studies children and young people in families. Throughout most of the twentieth century, psychology and its associated field of child development were lead disciplines in the study of children and childhood, just as psychology led the way in youth studies. In the 1980s and early 1990s, interest in childhood as a field of study was already firmly established among Scandinavian and US social scientists; the UK was a relative latecomer to the field. These social scientists afforded children ‘conceptual autonomy’, identified children as a distinct group in society, and viewed childhood as socially constructed. They considered children as social actors within a diversity of social contexts, not only as family members. The approach of Danish researcher Jens Qvortrup and his colleagues was path breaking. It drew attention to three social processes shaping children's lives: institutionalisation, familialisation, and individualisation. The chapter then considers the use of participatory research methods in childhood research.
Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers using a stepwise optical frequency pulse train
Authors: Tei Kazuyoku , Yamaguchi Shigeru
Published: May 2020

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a critical problem for fibers and fiber amplifiers as it severely limits single-frequency output powers; thus, we propose a seed source to mitigate it. The proposed seed source generates a high-duty-cycle N-pulse train in which the optical frequency of each subsequent pulse is shifted by a specific fixed amount with respect to the previous pulse, a stepwise optical frequency pulse train (SOFPT). In a watt-class power experiment, for a SOFPT with a 200-MHz optical frequency step, the SBS threshold for a 200-m single-mode fiber was enhanced by a factor of N compared with that for the CW seed source.
Counter-realities and conflicted place: Gee Vaucher’s The Feeding of the Five Thousand in the punk art tradition
Authors: Trowell Ian
Published: May 2020

This article celebrates and critically examines Gee Vaucher’s artwork for the Crass album The Feeding of the Five Thousand (1978), drawing upon the enduring fascination that the work retains. Vaucher’s work is complex, disconcerting and mesmeric, and my intention is to pin down the facets of the work that achieve these qualities. The work sits in a tradition of collage and montage taken up in British punk and post-punk scenes, and I examine a selection of classic punk artworks in comparison to Dada artworks that represent the origins of radical montage art. Whilst acknowledging the established mode of interpreting this work through indexical context of elements and the force of juxtaposition (e.g. Linder Stirling’s punk work), I argue that Vaucher’s work achieves something more and requires additional methods of analysis. By developing a formalist approach of illusionistic harmony and integrity, I consider the space of the picture plane, as a traditional art concept and the space and place of the depicted behind the picture plane. Vaucher’s work offers an enduring feeling of a conflicted, disrupted and corrupted space – you feel you can step into a real space within the picture but prefer to hover on the safe side of the picture plane. This property embodies what the author Mark Fisher calls the ‘weird and the eerie’. I then examine a number of artworks from within and around the canon of art – Alison and Peter Smithson, Martha Rosler and Tish Murtha – finding images that I feel have a strong resonance with Vaucher’s work in terms of the spaces they construct and the mode of construction. These canonical works offer some developed critical dialogue to bring to bear on Vaucher’s work in order to fully understand the power of this iconic record sleeve.
Haunted Science: The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the lost futures of hauntological music
Authors: Christodoulou Chris
Published: May 2020

This article will explore the particular sense of nostalgia evoked by the sound and music of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop for a utopian future that has been irrevocably lost; a future contextualized in Britain by the post-war consensus and its attendant narratives of public service broadcasting, state planning and benevolent social engineering. I examine the relationship between the workshop’s output and the contemporary cultural experience Mark Fisher defined as ‘hauntology’, before investigating the workshop’s influence on the hauntological music of contemporary artists who use radiophonic sounds to recover a sense of the future lost as a result of the political and economic transformation of Britain which followed the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, and which would eventually lead to the decommissioning of the workshop itself in March 1998. In addition, this article considers the workshop’s idiosyncratic output in relation to electronic dance music which, until recently, had been considered at the vanguard of musical futurism. However, in contrast to electronic dance music, ‘sonic hauntology’ looks to the past for its engagement with the ideas about the future; in particular, the technological optimism associated with the post-war modernization of Britain, such as the belief in a paternalistic, yet benevolent state and in the progressive application of technology. In these ways, hauntological musicians place considerable significance on the sounds, music and other cultural signifiers encountered through the workshop’s productions, such as the use of analogue media, public information films, and science fiction and horror programmes, from the period in which BBC broadcasting dominated the British media landscape.

“Emissário de um rei desconhecido”: Sentidos do exílio no Sebastianismo concebido por D. João de Castro (1604-1605)
Authors: Rodrigues Bruno Romano
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo reflete sobre o exílio do letrado português D. João de Castro (1550?-1628?) durante a União Ibérica (1580-1640), período em que Portugal esteve politicamente vinculado à Monarquia Hispânica. Para isso, analisa-se a obra intitulada A Aurora da Quinta Monarquia (1604-1605) no intuito de apreender alguns dos possíveis significados das experiências vivenciadas durante seus deslocamentos pela Europa, particularmente na França, onde o fidalgo permaneceu por maior período de tempo. Conclui-se que o desterro de Castro, imputado pela literatura especializada como o criador do sebastianismo, se expressou, no plano discursivo, como penitência escatológica (individual e coletiva), capaz de remediar os supostos males da distância por meio da elaboração de um projeto político de caráter messiânico que colocasse termo ao domínio castelhano sobre Portugal.
Planejamento urbano, turismo e segregação socioespacial: O caso da Curva do Lacet em Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brasil
Authors: Pereira Leandro Saar , Sancho-Pivoto Altair
Published: May 2020

O objetivo do presente trabalho visou compreender o papel do turismo no processo de requalificação urbana da Curva do Lacet, em Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Historicamente, esse local foi apropriado por populações de baixa renda dos bairros Dom Bosco e Teixeiras como espaço representativo de encontro e de lazer. A partir de 2006, com o início do processo de implantação de um shopping center, um edifício comercial e um hotel de alto padrão, a Curva do Lacet foi alvo de ações de requalificação, com fins estéticos, que acarretaram na supressão de um campo de futebol e um playground tradicionalmente utilizados por moradores locais. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram revisão bibliográfica, levantamento documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com agentes (re)produtores desse recorte espacial. Em geral, os resultados indicam que a Curva do Lacet passou a constituir um imenso vazio urbano, uma área gramada e sem qualquer função social, o que impede que seus frequentadores históricos se (re)apropriem ou (re)estabeleçam aí algum vínculo de pertencimento. Os usos turísticos, embora tenham se intensificado consideravelmente na localidade em virtude da implantação de um shopping center de abrangência regional, acabaram contribuindo para o acirramento do processo de segregação socioespacial então percebido na Curva do Lacet.

A pesquisa trouxe contribuições teóricas a partir do surgimento de novas subcategorias de análise, além de recomendações práticas aos gestores, ao permitir conhecer a maneira como as empresas vêm gerenciando as respostas ao eWOM negativo. De forma geral, as discussões levantadas podem auxiliar as organizações do setor de hospedagem a conduzirem uma estratégia de respostas mais direcionada, trazendo benefícios para uma melhor gestão da reputação on-line dessas empresas.
Classification of accomodations in Brazil: the SBClass in the perspective of the public policy cycle
Authors: Caetano Ana Lúcia Rodrigues , Stoll Carolina Braghirolli , Helfenstein Mara Juliane Woiciechoski
Published: May 2020

The accommodations segment is one of the most profitable within the tourist activity, which is why the Brazilian state initiative has sought to intervent in different ways in the regulation and planning of the sector, through public policies aimed at optimizing the provision of services. The Brazilian Accommodations System of Classification (SBClass) arises from this proposal, seeking to function both as a tool to support tourists and as a state standardization mechanism for hotel services. However, the low rates of adherence to the system raise the issue of the system assessment as a national public policy. The present study aims to analyze the SBClass within the logic of the policy cycle, which seeks to explain in a simplified way the main processes inherent to the elaboration and operation of a public policy. The research presented is descriptive and exploratory, using as a technical procedure the case study, based on the capture of data referring to SBClass and its subsequent organization in the phases of the cycle. During the analysis of the system, it was verified that the SBClass of 2011 presented advances in relation to its predecessors, but that certain aspects still lack discussions for improvement in future versions of this policy.

Based on the European Innovation Scoreboard the study intends to provide a compara-tive assessment of the innovation performance of Hungary and Slovakia. The assessment extends to a wide range of indicators covering structural conditions, knowledge creation, innovation at the firm level, R&D expenditures. As catching-up countries Hungary's and Slovakia's innovation performances are well below the EU27 average, but the rate of im-provement is above that of the EU average, especially in case of Slovakia. The low per-formance is attributable to both lagging innovation capabilities in the business sector and an insufficient contribution of public research organizations to the innovation system. There is a need for more stable governance of the innovation system and a more evidence-based approach to policy making in the area of science, technology and innovation policy.

There are more and more practical experiences confirming that processes affecting spatial differences are altering in certain elements in the information age. By the appearance of .the new innovations of information and communication technologies a transformation process has got started, which have changed our opinion on spatiality. From the complex system of interconnectedness the dimensions of digital divide, or the circumstances of inequalities of development and competitiveness can be traced out. Spatial cathegories went through significant changes in interpretation, which have influenced also regional competitiveness and inequalities. According to our experiences, inherited spatial differences may be repeated in the information age, however, the revaluation of the role of distance or place can put this question into a new light. The paralell existance of traditional and new inequalities is one of the most important phenomenon of the information age.

The Euroregion indicates such geographical areas, which include the areas of two or more countries. They agreed in the fact, that they coordinate their activities in the interest of the development of the borderlands (Siili-Zakar 1998). So this is an area in which different kinds of coorporations exist between two or more states and local governments. Theses are mainly interregional, transnational, economical, social or cultural coorporations (Éger 2000). The most important tasks of the Euroregion are to help the coordination between the borde areas, to support enterprises, to reduce migrational limits and to organize transport connections. Apart from these, a number of social, economical (e.g. police or criminal coorporation) activities can happen between borders (Mátyás 2008). Compared to our region, the length of our borders is large and the main part of our inhabitants live in frontier areas, since fourteen of our counties border with the neighbouring countries (Rechnitzer 1999).

Local products play a central role in the concept of multifunctional farming, sustainable development, regional competitiveness and regional identity. The study introduces the results of a research carried out in the West-Transdanubian region in Hungary on regional values and local products. We have found that most of the interviewees were unaware of environmental issues, agricultural production or local food processing in the region. These elements are important factors of regional (economical and social) potential and should be highly utilised in order to maintain and increase competitiveness of a region. The production, marketing and sales of local products increase competitiveness in rural areas, but only if local products are imbedded in the actual practise and applied tools of multifunctional agriculture, integrated rural- and regional development.

Using a simple data mining technique, the Analyze Key Influencers, in Excel 2007 Data Mining Add-ins, we searched for relationship among the seat (county and town), the form of business, the main activity, the number of employees and the annual income of the Hungarian companies. This technique uses the Naive Bayes algorithm. According to the used method the seat has no influencers. Most of the main activities have no influencers, but some activities (82 out of 495) have relationship with the other criteria, mainly with the form of business. The form of business (all 30 categories), the number of employees (17 of 18 categories) and the annual income (all 9 categories) are each others key influencers. Cramer's association was used to check the results of the data mining. The Cramer contin-gency coefficient showed similar results as the data mining, but the results also indicated that the strength of the association was less than moderate in all cases. The highest associa-tion were between the annual income and the number of employees (0.46, moderate asso-ciation), the main activity and form of business (0.36, moderate association) and the annual income and the form of business (0.27, low association).

During the past few years the territorial issues of the location of industry came to the forefront both in Hungary and in the European Union. On certain areas of our country different industry structures evolved and various industries became dominant in each region. The actuality of the topic is enhanced by the fact that now adays has become an important key issue to rationalize the structure of industry. Therefore it is all the more necessary to do research in Hungary for the investigation of the structural changes of industry as well as to examine and analyse the correlations to ensure the developm ent of rational and efficient industrial structure on the given areas. This is also very important, because regional specialization is a quality- indicator category, which to a certain extent, refers to the development level of the region as well. In addition can be expected in modern market economies that the areas be specialised in the industrial sectors, where there are more favourable production conditions

The travelling-wave reduction leads to solvable fourth-order odes for all the forms. In addition, the reduction based on the scaling symmetry for the Euler-Bernoulli form leads to certain odes for which there exists zero symmetries. Therefore, we conduct the singularity analysis to ascertain the integrability. We study two reduced odes of second and third orders. The reduced second-order ode is a perturbed form of Painlevé-Ince equation, which is integrable and the third-order ode falls into the category of equations studied by Chazy, Bureau and Cosgrove. Moreover, we derived the symmetries and its corresponding reductions and conservation laws for the forced form of the abovementioned beam forms. The Lie Algebra is mentioned explicitly for all the cases.
Photo-Narratives and the Poor White Self since the FSA
Authors: Robertson Sarah
Published: May 2020

After briefly outlining the work of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographers and writers during the Great Depression, the chapter turns to rephotography projects, namely that of Dale Maharidge and Michael Williamson, to explore the FSA’s legacy. The chapter interrogates the relationship and tension between aesthetics and activism as it examines several contemporary photo-narratives focused on Appalachia. In addition to critically discussing the work of Appalshop, it questions the representation of the poor in photo-narratives by, amongst others, Shelby Lee Adams, Tim Barnwell and Susan Lipper. The chapter focuses on questions of counter-visuality as it presents contemporary life-writing by writers such as Dorothy Allison, Rick Bragg, Barbara Robinette Moss and Janisse Ray, as a vehicle for producing counter-visual legacies.
“A Whitegirl Helped Me”: Locating Poor Whites in Literature
Authors: Robertson Sarah
Published: May 2020

This chapter interrogates the definitions of Grit Lit and Rough South and moves away from both categories to consider, via Raymond Williams and David Harvey, amongst others, the structures of feeling that emerge in contemporary southern literature to reveal the wider shift to liquidity in the form of financial capital and its socio-economic ramifications on poor whites. The chapter focuses on works by Toni Morrison, John Biguenet, Colson Whitehead, Barbara Kingsolver, and Tim McLaurin, and explores the ways these writers represent the impact of various political, economic and environmental changes and disasters including Reaganomics, Hurricane Katrina, and the 2008 financial crisis. It considers communalism and the alternatives that appear in these literary works for measuring time and worth beyond monetary values.
Forging New Identities in a World Gone Mad
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

This chapter recounts the turmoil endured by black and white Natchez women and men during the Civil War and Union occupation, and how these experiences shaped historical memories of the war. Mississippi’s economy lay in ruins with nearly a quarter of the white males who served in the Confederate Army killed in action or perishing from wounds or disease at war’s end, while white civilians faced poverty, military loss, and a racial hierarchy turned upside down. Natchez’s large African-American population majority faced their own challenges but found sustenance in black churches and schools organized by the American Missionary Association during Reconstruction. Natchez had all the makings for a complex set of historical memories: great wealth, followed by profound loss, a paternalistic planter class, a sizable free black community that did not always sympathize with former slaves, and a massive formerly enslaved labor force discovering freedom for the first time.
Natchez Today
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

The epilogue explores recent expressions of historical memory in Natchez. The efforts of the National Park Service, the Historic Natchez Foundation and the Natchez Courthouse Records Project have set in motion progressive changes hardly imaginable a few decades ago. These include a growing number of Pilgrimage home tours that acknowledge the contributions of enslaved laborers, funding to interpret the Forks of the Road slave market site, and the Natchez Trails project that depicts a more racially inclusive history throughout downtown streets and neighborhoods. But even as these developments signal important steps forward, some efforts falter amid contestation. For most of its lifespan, Natchez’s white victors wrote its history. Today that history is beginning to be re-imagined and rewritten by a small group of liberal whites and vocal black agents pushing for long overdue change. Hopefully, Natchez’s example will prompt other southern communities to examine, re-imagine and more accurately share their own local histories.
Gothic for Girls
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This book is the first full-length critical study of any British girls’ comic and sheds light on an often-ignored era and genre of the comics industry. It explores the production and reception of the notorious girls’ mystery comic Misty (IPC, 1978-80), considering its influences, themes, visuals, plots, and use of Gothic symbols. Containing exclusive interview material with the comic’s creators and editorial team, rare scripts and photographs, and surveying the entire archive of Misty stories, it preserves and analyzesMisty for fans and scholars.
By exploring and defining the particular type of mystery and fear that this comic offered, the strange case of Misty also becomes a tool to develop existing Gothic scholarship and identify a new and under-theorised subgenre. Gothic for Girls challenges and instructs its readers in a number of ways: offering warnings and moral lessons, exposing societal expectations and limitations, and embracing the liminality and Otherness of childhood.
The Rise and Fall of British Girls’ Comics
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter provides context and background to the study. It tells the story of Misty’s creation and situates it within the wider picture of British girls’ comics in the late twentieth century. It reviews and summarizes the critical work published on girls’ comics to date: noting the denigration and suspicion that surrounds the genre, and situating this against a newer wave of scholarship that reclaims girls’ comics as popular, active literature. The chapter draws on archival research, exclusive interviews, and analysis of predecessor titles to give a historical timeline of British girls’ comics publishing and the competition between DC Thomson and Fleetway/IPC and tell the story of how Misty came to be. It explains the commercial practices of IPC and argues that the rise and fall of the British girls’ comics industry demonstrates that mixing creativity and commerce can produce intense competition that drives innovation and experimentation, but if the industry does not adapt to its changing cultural context or modify its fiscal expectations this can hamstring its creative talent and undermine its readership.
Horror and Gothic in the 1970s
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter considers some of the possible influences on Misty, drawing links with other comics as well as a wider tradition of horror across multiple media in 1970s Britain. It explores the surrounding atmosphere of cultural horror, looking closely at the political context of 1970s Britain, which manifests in the presence of social commentary in Misty. It explores the large number of tales that revolve around animal rights, environmental issues, or social commentary (delinquency, poverty, and so forth). It then considers the surrounding atmosphere of British cultural and literary horror, with a particular focus on the horror and mystery stories being offered to children and shown on television and in schools. It argues that Misty’s stories are strongly influenced by the atmosphere of cultural horror emerging in Britain in the 1970s and particularly by ideas of transgression and punishment expressed in horror cinema and public information films.
Coda
Authors: Leader-Picone Cameron
Published: May 2020

This coda briefly addresses the election of Donald Trump and the implications of an increasingly visible white nationalist movement on the arguments of the book. The coda also analyzes elements of the Black Lives Matter movement to argue that while much of the optimism of the post era has been mitigated, several of its major theoretical strains—the emphasis on individual agency over racial identity, the turn towards racial identity as performance—remain critical to understanding current activism. It also explains the influence of theoretical frameworks such as intersectionality and Afropessimism on current movements. The coda also looks briefly towards growing and ongoing trends in African American literature, like Afrofuturism.
Interpellation, Identification, and the Boundary between Self and o/Other
Authors: Campbell Joseph W.
Published: May 2020

Chapter 1 proposes a somewhat stitched-together set of theory to help create a tool to assist the reader in the exploration of dystopian works. The theory formed here creates a sort of lens through which someone studying dystopian literature in general, but specifically YA dystopian literature, can see how a fictional regime uses surveillance, then rhetorical moves at first, then brute physical power, to have control over the identification moves of an individual.
The Introduction
Authors: Pettway Matthew
Published: May 2020

The introduction presents Manzano and Plácido to readers as Cuban authors of African descent that navigated conflicting bodies of religious knowledge and disparate aesthetic practices.This chapter defines key terms both critical and theoretical. And, briefly takes a look at how Plácido and Manzano have been studied as assimilationists in the formation of the Cuban literary tradition.The introduction provides a very brief review of scholarly approaches to Plácido and Manzano but suggests a radical departure from most previous scholarship on the authors.This chapter introduces African-inspired spirituality as a lens for articulating antislavery philosophy in black Cuban poetry and prose.This book explores new terrain because it explores what the relationship between aesthetics, religion, and black aspirations for emancipation might teach us about the origins of Cuban literature.
Myth of the Christian Poet
Authors: Pettway Matthew
Published: May 2020

This chapter explores how Plácido’s poems on race differed from that of Manzano, his enslaved counterpart.Plácido, whose mulatto racial identity was never in doubt, saw little need to create such an image for public consumption.Rather, his satirical poems mocked the mulatto desire to become white through the denial of African ancestry.This chapter examines Plácido’s Catholic poetry alongside his racial satire to demonstrate that the contradiction inherent in his literary work.The analysis of Plácido’s religious poetry in tandem with his satire exposes the apparent contradictions that arose from the articulation of a racial politics in defiance of whiteness on the one hand and the adulation of Catholicism on the other.Poems such as “Death of the Redeemer,” “The Birth of Christ,” “For the Death of Christ,” “The Resurrection,” and two relatively unknown poems, “My Imprisonment” and “To Lince, from Prison” are historical evidence of how Plácido negotiated good social standing with local ecclesiastical elites.
Epilogue
Authors: Pettway Matthew
Published: May 2020

On June 20, 1844, Spanish authorities executed Plácido in Matanzas before a firing squad. The military tribunal ordered that Plácido be shot in the back as the chief architect, recruiter, and instigator of “the conspiracy devised by the people of color in this city, for the extermination of the white population of the island.”...
