Situating the Andean Colonial Experience
Authors: Arnold Denise
Published: May 2021

Re-situating Andean colonial history from the perspective of the local historians of ayllu Qaqachaka, in highland Bolivia, this book draws on regional oral history combined with local and public written archives. Rejecting the binary models in vogue in colonial and postcolonial studies (indigenous/non-indigenous, Andean/Western, conquered/conquering), it explores the complex intercalation of legal pluralism and local history in the negotiations around Spanish demands, resulting in the so-called "Andean pact." The Qaqachaka's point of reference is the preceding Inka occupation, so in fulfilling Spanish demands they seek cultural continuity with this recent past. Spanish colonial administration, applies its roots in Roman-Germanic and Islamic law to many practices in the newly-conquered territories. Two major cycles of ayllu tales trace local responses to these colonial demands, in the practices for establishing settlements, and the feeding and dressing of the Catholic saints inside the new church, with their forebears in the Inka mummies.
Waldef
Authors: Weiss Judith , Clifton Nicole , Djordjevic Ivana
Published: May 2021

This first English translation of Le Roman de Waldef makes a significant representative of the French literature of medieval England accessible for the first time. Its wide-ranging content provides an ideal introduction to a number of themes in medieval literature, making it suitable for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses. The fast-moving romance plot of this early thirteenth-century tale recounts the ancestry and exploits of Waldef and his two sons, set against a history of pre-Conquest England. The narrative shares themes and incident types with other important insular romances, including the Lai of Haveloc, Boeve de Haumtone, and Gui de Warewic. Waldef’s scope, interest in battle, and political stratagems bear reading alongside medieval chronicles, while secret love affairs connect it with other romance literature of the period, and adventures across a wide area of the known world provide affinities with medieval travel narrative.
Chinese "Cancer Villages"
Authors: Chen Ajiang , Cheng Pengli , Luo Yajuan ,   China Social Sciences Press, Holdaway Jennifer
Published: May 2021

The phenomenon of "cancer villages" has emerged in many parts of rural China, drawing media attention and becoming a fact of social life. However, the relationship between pollution and disease is often hard to discern. Through sociological analysis of several villages with different social and economic structures, the authors offer a comprehensive, historically grounded analysis of the coexistence between the incidence of cancer, environmental pollution and villagers’ lifestyles, as well as the perceptions, claims and responses of different actors. They situate the appearance of "cancer villages" in the context of social, economic and cultural change in China, tracing the evolution of the issue over two decades, and providing deep insights into the complex interactions and trade-offs between economic growth, environmental change and public health.
Moral Sentiments in Modern Society
Authors: Brink Gabriël , Marini Gioia , Dekker Paul , Ingen Erik , Halman Loek , Mare Heidi , Bakker Wieger , Borgman Erik
Published: May 2021

Since the time of Adam Smith, scholars have tried to understand the role moral sentiments play in modern life, an issue that became especially urgent during and after the 2008 global financial crisis. Previous explanations have ranged from the idea that modern society is built on moral values to the notion that modernisation results in moral decay. The essays in this interdisciplinary volume use the example of Dutch society and a wealth of empirical data to propose a novel theory about the ambivalent relation between contemporary life and human nature. In the process, the contributors argue for the need to reject simplistic explanations and reinvent civil society.
Popular Romance in Iceland
Authors: McDonald Werronen Sheryl
Published: May 2021

A late medieval Icelandic romance about the ‘maiden-king’ of France, Nítída saga generated interest in its day and grew in popularity in post-Reformation Iceland, yet until now it has not received the comprehensive scholarly analysis that it much deserves. Analysing this saga from a variety of perspectives, this book sheds light on the manner in which Nítída saga explores and negotiates the romance genre from an Icelandic perspective, showcasing this exciting saga’s strong female characters, worldviews, and long manuscript tradition. Beginning with Nítída saga’s manuscript context, including its reception and transformation in early modern Iceland, this study also discusses how Nítída saga was influenced by, and also later influenced, other Icelandic romances. Considering the text as literature, discussion of its unusual depiction of world geography, as well as the various characters and their relationships, provides insights into medieval Icelanders’ ideas about themselves and the world they lived in, including questions about Icelandic identity, gender, female solidarity, and the literary genre of romance itself. The book also includes a newly revised reading edition and translation of Nítída saga.
Conversations with Christian Metz

Published: May 2021

From 1968 to 1991 the acclaimed film theorist Christian Metz wrote several remarkable books on film theory: Essais sur la signifi cation au cinéma, tome1 et 2; Langage et cinéma; Le signifiant imaginaire; and L’Enonciation impersonnelle. These books set the agenda of academic film studies during its formative period. Metz’s ideas were taken up, digested, refined,reinterpreted, criticized and sometimes dismissed, but rarely ignored.

This volume collects and translates into English for the first time a series of interviews with Metz, who offers readable summaries,elaborations, and explanations of his sometimes complex and demanding theories of film. He speaks informally of the most fundamental concepts that constitute the heart of film theory as an academic discipline — concepts borrowed from linguistics, semiotics, rhetoric, narratology, and psychoanalysis.

Within the colloquial language of the interview, we witness Metz’s initial formation and development of his film theory. The interviewers act as curious readers who pose probing questions to Metz about his books, and seek clarification and elaboration of his key concepts. We also discover the contents of his unpublished manuscript on jokes, his relation to Roland Barthes, and the social networks operative in the French intellectual community during the 1970s and 1980s.

Avant-garde filmmaker Bill Morrison has been making films that combine archival footage and contemporary music for decades, and he has recently begun to receive substantial recognition: he was the subject of a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, and his 2002 film Decasia was selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. This is the first book-length study of Morrison's work, covering the whole of his career. It gathers specialists throughout film studies to explore Morrison's "aesthetics of the archive"-his creative play with archival footage and his focus on the materiality of the medium of film.
Arguments Against the Christian Religion in Amsterdam by Saul Levi Morteira, Spinoza's Rabbi
Authors: Kaplan Gregory
Published: May 2021

This is the first book to offer a translation into English-as well as a critical study-of a Spanish treatise written around 1650 by Rabbi Saul Levi Morteira, whose most renowned congregant was Baruch Spinoza. Aimed at encouraging the practice of halachic Judaism among the Amsterdam-based descendants of conversos, Spanish and Portuguese Sephardic Jews who had been forced to convert to Christianity, the book stages a dialogue between two conversos that ultimately leads to a vision of a Jewish homeland-an outcome that Morteira thought was only possible through his program for rejudaisation.
Transformations of Identity and Society in Anglo-Saxon Essex
Authors: Mirrington Alexander
Published: May 2021

Transformations of Identity and Society in Anglo-Saxon Essex: A Case Study of an Early Medieval North Atlantic Community presents the results of a comprehensive archaeological study of early medieval Essex (c.AD 400-1066). This region provides an important case study for examining coastal societies of north-western Europe. Drawing on a wealth of new data, the author demonstrates the profound influence of maritime contacts on changing expressions of cultural affiliation. It is argued that this Continental orientation reflects Essex’s longterm engagement with the emergent, dynamic North Sea network. The wide chronological focus and inclusive dataset enables long-term socio-economic continuity and transformation to be revealed. These include major new insights into the construction of group identity in Essex between the 5th and 11th centuries and the identification of several previously unknown sites of exchange. The presentation also includes the first full archaeological study of Essex under ‘Viking’ rule.
The Greatest Films Never Seen
Authors: Op den Kamp Claudy ,   Eye Film Instituut Nederland
Published: May 2021

Orphan works, or artworks for which no copyright holder is traceable, pose a growing problem for museums, archives, and other heritage institutions. As they come under more and more pressure to digitize and share their archives, they are often hampered by the uncertain rights status of items in their collections. The Greatest Films Never Seen: The Film Archive and the Copyright Smokescreen uses the prism of copyright to reconsider human agency and the politics of the archive, and asks what the practical implications are for educational institutions, the creative industries, and the general public.
Nation-Building as Necessary Effort in Fragile States
Authors: Grotenhuis René
Published: May 2021

Policies intended to bring stability to fragile states tend to focus almost exclusively on building institutions and systems to get governance right. Simply building the state is often seen as sufficient for making it stable and legitimate. But policies like these, René Grotenhuis shows in this book, ignore the question of what makes people belong to a nation-state, arguing that issues of identity, culture, and religion are crucial to creating the sense of belonging and social cohesion that a stable nation-state requires.
Dangerous Drugs
Authors: Spaans Ronny
Published: May 2021

In the 17th century, the Dutch Republic was the centre of the world trade in exotic drugs and spices. They were sought after both as medicines, and as luxury objects for the bourgeois class, giving rise to a medical and moral anxiety in the Republic. This ambivalent view on exotic drugs is the theme of the poetry of Joannes Six van Chandelier (1620-1695). Six, who himself ran the drug shop ‘The Gilded Unicorn’ in Amsterdam, addresses a number of exotic medicines in his poems, such as musk, incense, the miracle drug theriac, Egyptian mumia, and even the blood of Charles I of England. In Dangerous Drugs, these texts are studied for the first time. The study shows how Six, through a process of self-presentation as a sober and restrained merchant, but also as a penitent sinner, thirsting for God’s grace, links early modern drug abuse to different desires, such as lust, avarice, pride and curiosity. The book shows also how an early modern debate on exotic drugs contributed to an important shift in early modern natural science, from a drug lore based on mythical and fabulous concepts, to a botany based on observation and systematic examination.
Homer, Troy and the Turks
Authors: Uslu Günay
Published: May 2021

Homer's stories of Troy are part of the foundations of Western culture. What's less well known is that they also inspired Ottoman-Turkish cultural traditions. Yet even with all the historical and archaeological research into Homer and Troy, most scholars today rely heavily on Western sources, giving Ottoman work in the field short shrift. This book helps right that balance, exploring Ottoman-Turkish involvement and interest in the subject between 1870, when Heinrich Schliemann began his excavations in search of Troy on Ottoman soil, and the battle of Gallipoli in 1915, which gave the Turks their own version of the heroic epic of Troy.
Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll in the Dutch Golden Age
Authors: Roberts Benjamin
Published: May 2021

Binge drinking and illicit sex were just as common in the Dutch Golden Age as they are today, if not more so. Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll in the Dutch Golden Age is a compelling narrative about the generation of young men that came of age in the Dutch Republic during the economic boom of the early seventeenth century. Contrary to their parents' wishes, the younger generation grew up in luxury and wore extravagant clothing, grew their hair long, and squandered their time drinking and smoking. They created a new youth culture with many excesses; one that we today associate with the counterculture generation of the 1960s.

With his engaging storytelling style and humorous anecdotes, Roberts convincingly reveals that deviant male youth behavior is common to all times, especially periods when youngsters have too much money and too much free time on their hands.
Banking for a Better World
Authors: Kleiterp Nanno
Published: May 2021

When we look at all the challenges facing the world, including inequality, population migration, and climate change, we can see a role for development banking in nearly all of them. But will that role be played for good or ill? This book brings together two people who collectively draw on their forty-five years of experience in that world to argue that development banking can-and must-play a constructive role.

We only need to read the news to find public outrage at tales of short-sighted greed in the financial world. But what happens when banks invest in long-term sustainability? Readers will find a fascinating example in the journey of the Dutch development bank FMO. At times global in perspective, at other moments intimately personal, Banking for a Better World interweaves candid anecdotes with development history, as well as banking lessons with client interviews, to deliver a powerful argument for a business model that generates profit through impact, and impact through profit.

This is an important and accessible must-read for anyone involved in banking, business, policy making, and civil society as a whole. Banking for a Better World challenges us to start finding overlaps between our own lives and global issues and to bridge the distance between our personal needs and those of our planet.
Exploring the Boundaries of Big Data
Authors: Sloot Bart , Broeders Dennis , Schrijvers Erik ,   Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid
Published: May 2021

Though the exact nature and delineation of Big Data is still unclear, it seems likely that Big Data will have an enormous impact on our daily lives. Exploring the Bounderies of Big Data serves as preparatory work for The Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy's advice to the Dutch government, which has asked the Council to address questions regarding Big Data, security and privacy. It is divided into five parts, each part engaging with a different perspective on Big Data: the technical, empirical, legal, regulatory and international perspective.
Popular Music in Southeast Asia
Authors: Barendregt Bart , Keppy Peter , Schulte Nordholt Henk
Published: May 2021

From the 1920s on, popular music in Southeast Asia was a mass-audience phenomenon that drew new connections between indigenous musical styles and contemporary genres from elsewhere to create new, hybrid forms. This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular music, considering not just singers and musicians but their fans as well, showing how the music was intrinsically bound up with modern life and the societal changes that came with it. Reaching new audiences across national borders, popular music of the period helped push social change, and at times served as a medium for expressions of social or political discontent.

Heritage and tourism mutually reinforce each other, with the presentation of heritage at physical sites mirrored by the ways heritage is presented on the internet. This interdisciplinary book uses humanities and social sciences to analyse the ways that heritage is branded and commodified, how stakeholders organise place brands, and how digital strategies shape how visitors appreciate heritage sites. The book covers a wide geographic diversity, offering the reader the chance to find cross-cutting themes and area-specific features of the field.
Site of Deportation, Site of Memory
Authors: Vree Frank , Berg Hetty , Duindam David , Collingwood Vivien , Schrijver Emile , Groeneboer Joost , Göbel Esther , Gringold Annemiek
Published: May 2021

The Hollandsche Schouwburg is a former theatre in Amsterdam where, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, tens of thousands of Jews were assembled before being deported to transit and concentration camps. Before the war, the theatre had been an example of Jewish integration in the Netherlands, and after the war it became a memorial for the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. This book is the first international publication to address all the historical aspects of the site, putting it in a broader European and historical context.
Fictions of Containment in the Spanish Female Picaresque
Authors: Kuffner Emily
Published: May 2021

This study examines the interdependence of gender, sexuality and space in the early modern period, which saw the inception of architecture as a discipline and gave rise to the first custodial institutions for women, including convents for reformed prostitutes. Meanwhile, conduct manuals established prescriptive mandates for female use of space, concentrating especially on the liminal spaces of the home. This work traces literary prostitution in the Spanish Mediterranean through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the rise of courtesan culture in several key areas through the shift from tolerance of prostitution toward repression. Kuffner’s analysis pairs canonical and noncanonical works of fiction with didactic writing, architectural treatises, and legal mandates, tying the literary practice of prostitution to increasing control over female sexuality during the Counter Reformation. By tracing erotic negotiations in the female picaresque novel from its origins through later manifestations, she demonstrates that even as societal attitudes towards prostitution shifted dramatically, a countervailing tendency to view prostitution as an essential part of the social fabric undergirds many representations of literary prostitutes. Kuffner’s analysis reveals that the semblance of domestic enclosure figures as a primary erotic strategy in female picaresque fiction, allowing readers to assess the variety of strategies used by authors to comment on the relationship between unruly female sexuality and social order.
Fragments of the Holocaust
Authors: Duindam David
Published: May 2021

Why do we attach so much value to sites of Holocaust memory, if all we ever encounter are fragments of a past that can never be fully comprehended? David Duindam examines how the Hollandsche Schouwburg, a former theater in Amsterdam used for the registration and deportation of nearly 50,000 Jews, fell into disrepair after World War II before it became the first Holocaust memorial museum of the Netherlands. Fragments of the Holocaust: The Amsterdam Hollandsche Schouwburg as a Site of Memory combines a detailed historical study of the postwar period of this site with a critical analysis of its contemporary presentation by placing it within international debates concerning memory, emotionally fraught heritage and museum studies. A case is made for the continued importance of the Hollandsche Schouwburg and other comparable sites, arguing that these will remain important in the future as indexical fragments where new generations can engage with the memory of the Holocaust on a personal and affective level.
The Datafied Society
Authors: Schäfer Mirko Tobias , Es Karin
Published: May 2021

As machine-readable data comes to play an increasingly important role in everyday life, researchers find themselves with rich resources for studying society. The novel methods and tools needed to work with such data require not only new knowledge and skills, but also a new way of thinking about best research practices. This book critically reflects on the role and usefulness of big data, challenging overly optimistic expectations about what such information can reveal, introducing practices and methods for its analysis and visualisation, and raising important political and ethical questions regarding its collection, handling, and presentation.

Published: May 2021

Since the 1990s, the Chinese-North Korean border region has undergone a gradual transformation into a site of intensified cooperation, competition, and intrigue. These changes have prompted a significant volume of critical scholarship and media commentary across multiple languages and disciplines. Drawing on existing studies and new data, Decoding the Sino-North Korean Borderlands brings much of this literature into concert by pulling together a wide range of insight on the region's economics, security, social cohesion, and information flows. Drawing from multilingual sources and transnational scholarship, this volume is enhanced by the extensive fieldwork undertaken by the editors and contributors in their quests to decode the borderland. In doing so, the volume emphasizes the link between theory, methodology, and practice in the field of Area Studies and social science more broadly.

The Adornes Domain and the Jerusalem Chapel in Bruges
Authors: Lambert Véronique ,   Adornes vzw, Connerty Ian
Published: May 2021

Bruges, middle of the 15th century. Anselm Adornes, scion of a rich patrician family, creates a magnificent domain in the heart of the city : an elegant mansion, beautiful gardens, several charitable almshouses and the spectacular Chapel of Jerusalem. It is a place that every right-minded resident of Bruges and every tourist must see.

The history of the Adornes domain is truly remarkable, remaining in the unbroken possession of the same family for six centuries. It has survived storms and setbacks, the secularism of the French Revolution, the fury of two world wars and inevitable periods of disinterest.

'In this book Véronique Lambert allows us to share in the hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, trials and tribulations that mark the milestones in the Adornes family saga. Within the boundaries of historical interpretation and based on extensive research, she unfolds a fascinating tale of ambitious adventurers, charismatic personalities, flamboyant lords and ordinary mortals, but each imbued with the family's traditional willpower and energy'.

Let yourself be enchanted by this fascinating piece of our cultural heritage, which deserves to be more widely known.

The Home, Nations and Empires, and Ephemeral Exhibition Spaces
Authors: Bauer Dominique , Murgia Camilla , O’Carroll Aisling , Prina Daniela , Brevik-Zender Heidi , Todorovic Jelena , Mencfel Michal , Koutenikova Inessa , Pergam Elizabeth , Rosen Jeff , Yu Shijia
Published: May 2021

This book explores ephemeral exhibition spaces between 1750 and 1918. The chapters focus on two related spaces: the domestic interior and its imagery, and exhibitions and museums that display both national/imperial identity and the otherness that lurks beyond a country’s borders. What is revealed is that the same tension operates in these private and public realms; namely, that between identification and self-projection, on the one hand, and alienation, otherness and objectification on the other. In uncovering this, the authors show that the self, the citizen/society and the other are realities that are constantly being asserted, defined and objectified. This takes place, they demonstrate, in a ceaseless dynamic of projection versus alienation, and intimacy versus distancing.
An Ephemeral Museum of Decorative and Industrial Arts : Charle Albert’s Vlaams Huis
Authors: Prina Daniela N.
Published: May 2021

Around the 1870s, artists such as Charle Albert aimed to find a decorative
unity of style through their personal homes, with the precise desire to repropose
the original aspects of Flemish culture. The Vlaams Huis by Charle
Albert was decorated in a variety of ancient Flemish styles ranging from
late Gothic to Baroque. The interior pieces were organized in a sequence
revealing the historical evolution of Flemish Renaissance decorative
styles, thus illustrating the country’s ancient roots: they narrated national
history and served as a model for Belgian artists. This chapter aims to give
a new reading of the Vlaams Huis linking historical and artistic research,
educational strategies, heritage promotion, and identity politics.
Expanding Interiors : Architectural Photographs of the Countess de Castiglione
Authors: Brevik-Zender Heidi
Published: May 2021

Over the last five decades of the nineteenth century, Italian-born Virginia
Verasis, the Countess de Castiglione (1837–1899), had French photographer
Pierre-Louis Pierson take more than 400 studio photographs of her in
elaborately costumed and staged tableaus, mises en scène that the Countess
had a strong hand in designing. This chapter examines the Countess’s
photographs through the lenses of architecture, gender, and interior
design. Considering the term “architect” metaphorically and literally, and
drawing on trends in interior decoration from the period as well as on
feminist theory related to space, this study focuses on the Countess’s taste
for aesthetic excess in costuming and furnishings, and how the interiors
that she designed using these tools upended traditional conceptions
limiting women’s presence in space.
The Land that Never Was : Liminality of Existence and the Imaginary Spaces in the Archbishopric of Karlovci
Authors: Todorovic Jelena
Published: May 2021

The realm of the Orthodox Archbishopric of Karlovci in the Austrian
Habsburg Empire was like no other founded on the concept of liminality.
Established in 1690, the archbishopric was, from its outset, a highly
peculiar space-in-between. This Orthodox domain in the Catholic Empire
was never truly its own master and constantly threatened to be dissolved
into the Catholic majority. The archbishopric had to perpetually re-invent
itself and forge new legitimacies that were as ephemeral as its transient
glory. Its liminal existence emerged saliently in ceremonial spaces, staged
to celebrate the domain’s fragile power. From liminal landscapes depicting
forlorn glory, to processions staged upon its cities’ disowned spaces,
the archbishopric’s political propaganda was deeply marked by spatial
ambiguities.
A Burning Mind, a Dream Space, a “Fantastic Exhibition”
Authors: Kouteinikova Inessa
Published: May 2021

This chapter focuses on the case of the Russian architect Aleksei Benois
(1838–1902), who designed “many beautiful establishments,” as his critics
tell us, both in Russia and in Central Asia. As one of the first noticeable
Russian architects in Turkestan, Benois left behind fascinating sketches
for the First Turkestan Exhibition (1890) that is considered here. His oeuvre
revolved around one single theme: the creation of an ideal exhibition space
in Tashkent, the new capital of Russia’s Central Asia. This study addresses
Benois’s immersive vision and spatial aesthetics, up against the clichés of
the late nineteenth-century colonial and Orientalist exhibition landscape.
Jardins-Spectacles: Spaces and Traces of Embodiment
Authors: Taylor-Leduc Susan
Published: May 2021

During the French Revolution, resourceful entrepreneurs seized properties
on the outskirts of Paris to create jardins-spectacles, urban pleasure
grounds that merged the former aristocratic practices of picturesque
strolling with popular entertainments. Visitors paid entrance fees to
explore the artfully contrived sensorium and watch astonishing performances,
including fireworks displays and hot-air balloon launchings,
while strolling. Simon Charles Boutin’s development of Tivoli, one of
the most popular of the approximately twenty jardins-spectacles built
from 1795 until 1820, reveals how these venues became places to perform
embodied spectatorship. The ephemerality of the jardins-spectacles has
marginalized their contribution to the history of visuality in the long
eighteenth century.
Parading the Temporary: Cosmoramas, Panoramas, and Spectacles in Early Nineteenth-Century Paris
Authors: Murgia Camilla
Published: May 2021

The revolution of 1789 prompted various socio-cultural changes that deeply
affected French society. Alongside the sense of instability that these events
provoked, there are a number of open-air amusements, shows, exhibitions,
and theatrical representations, from the Directoire and through
the Napoleonic era. This chapter aims to analyze the mechanisms that
allowed the development of these spaces. Ephemerality and temporality
are central to this investigation, often determining the development of
the space, its construction and functions, but also the cultural practices
this comprehension of the space engendered. My objective is to discuss
the visual models and cultural references enabling the rearrangement of
existing areas and the rise of new “spheres” devoted to the consumption
of entertainment.
The Impact of Alternative Exhibition Spaces on European Modern Art before World War I
Authors: Mulloli Nirmalie Alexandra
Published: May 2021

Exhibitions of modern art at the beginning of the twentieth century
help to signify, in structured and identifiable nodes, the points at which
the evolving visual forms of modernism were societally sanctioned and
integrated into an accepted notion of what constituted art. Limited
consideration has been given to examining the broader acceptance of
alternative exhibition venues, previously peripheral or ephemeral, as
social spaces and to considering the affect these alternative socio-spatial
constellations had on the reception of the art being exhibited. By analyzing
the shifting social conditions of art reception that these exhibiting
spaces represent, this chapter presents a novel contextual view of how
modern European artists flourished during this time in unprecedented
ways.
Poussin's Women
Authors: Thomas Troy
Published: May 2021

Poussin’s Women: Sex and Gender in the Artist’s Works examines the paintings and drawings of the well-known seventeenth-century French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) from a gender studies perspective, focusing on a critical analysis of his representations of women. The book’s thematic chapters investigate Poussin’s women in their roles as predators, as lustful or the objects of lust, as lovers, killers, victims, heroines, or models of virtue. Poussin’s paintings reflect issues of gender within his social situation as he consciously or unconsciously articulated its conflicts and assumptions. A gender studies approach brings to light new critical insights that illuminate how the artist represented women, both positively and negatively, within the framework in his seventeenth-century culture. This book covers the artist’s works from Classical mythology, Roman history, Tasso, and the Bible. It serves as a good overview of Poussin as an artist, discussing the latest research and including new interpretations of his major works.
Social Movements and Solidarity Structures in Crisis-Ridden Greece
Authors: Malamidis Haris
Published: May 2021

Social Movements and Solidarity Structures in Crisis-Ridden Greece explores the rich grassroots experience of social movements in Greece between 2008 and 2016. The harsh conditions of austerity triggered the rise of vibrant mobilizations that went hand-in-hand with the emergence of numerous solidarity structures, providing unofficial welfare services to the suffering population. Based on qualitative field research conducted in more than 50 social movement organizations in Greece’s two major cities, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the contentious mechanisms that led to the development of such solidarity initiatives. By analyzing the organizational structure, resources and identity of markets without middlemen, social and collective kitchens, organizations distributing food parcels, social clinics and self-managed cooperatives, this study explains the enlargement of boundaries of collective action in times of crisis.
Introduction
Authors: Wells Tamas
Published: May 2021

This chapter introduces the concept of narratives of democracy and links
it to the context of Myanmar and the struggles between Burmese activists
and democratic leaders, and international aid workers, over the meaning
of democracy. It also provides an overview of the book’s structure.
Exposing the political use of narratives
Authors: Wells Tamas
Published: May 2021

This chapter turns to the task of exposing the ways that meanings of
democracy are wielded politically by networks of aid workers, activists
and democratic leaders in Myanmar. Rather than narratives being neutral
or objective, it describes how understandings and communication about
democracy are embedded within unequal relations of power. Activists
and aid workers use narratives of democracy to position themselves in
relation to rivals and to establish themselves and their allies as experts
who can define what ‘genuine’ democracy is and is not. Narratives are
a tool through which activists, opposition leaders and aid workers can
exercise power in a discursive form.
From Shangri-La to De facto SEZ
Authors: Chettri Mona
Published: May 2021

Sikkim in north-eastern India is a small border state strategically located
between China, Nepal, and Bhutan. Two decades of state-led investment
in infrastructural development and private investment in hydropower and
pharmaceutical industries has transformed Sikkim from a remote border
state to a de facto Special Economic Zone (SEZ) where incursions by private
capital are masked under state-led development policies. The chapter
focuses on Setipool slum, east Sikkim, located near two pharmaceutical
factories, to demonstrate how ambiguous land rights and the establishment
of pharmaceutical factories have led to spatially contained land
booms which replicate nexuses of illegality, claim-making, and exclusions
that are characteristic of corporate land grabs. The paper illustrates (i) the
liminal origins of development zones, (ii) the networks and, sometimes,
unforeseen socio-spatial impacts within and outside development zones,
and (iii) the different forms of intimate exclusions that challenge prior
assumptions around local responses to corporate incursions.
Development Zones in Conflict-Affected Borderlands
Authors: Meehan Patrick , Hla Sai Aung , Phu Sai Kham
Published: May 2021

How are development zones “made” in conflict-affected borderlands?
Addressing this question, this chapter explores the transformation of
the Myanmar-China border town of Muse since 1988. Despite ongoing
armed conflict in northern Myanmar, Muse has become the country’s
most important border development zone and today handles more than
80% of licit overland Myanmar-China trade. It is also a key border hub
in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Policy narratives typically claim
that borderland development and regional economic integration offer
an antidote to violence, criminality, and illegal practices. This chapter
challenges these narratives. It demonstrates how long-standing forms of
informal public authority and illegality have become deeply embedded
in the technologies of governance that have underpinned Muse’s rise.
