Moscow-Istanbul-Moscow-Istanbul
Authors: Meyer James H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses the period from mid-1924 until late 1928. It begins with Nâzım’s return to Istanbul, where he was supposed to work on behalf of the Turkish Communist Party, which was still a legal organization in Turkey. However, Nâzım’s time in Turkey was beset with difficulties, both personal and political. Nüzhet, whom Nâzım had married when she had visited him in Moscow, broke up with him shortly after his return to Istanbul. More ominously for Nâzım, the Turkish government cracked down on politics in the wake of the Sheikh Sait rebellion of March, 1925, closing all opposition parties. Wanted by Turkish authorities due to his work for the TKP, Nâzım escaped back to Moscow, where he would again reside until the second half of 1928. Nâzım continued to write during these years, with sections of this chapter examining his changing poetic styles in the 1920s. The chapter ends with Nâzım returning once again to Turkey at the end of 1928 in order to undertake ‘clandestine’ work for the now-illegal TKP.
At Large in Istanbul
Authors: Meyer James H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Nâzım’s personal, professional, and literary lives in Istanbul between October 1928 and mid-1934. Upon returning “home” to Istanbul in late 1928, Nâzım was involved in a series of conflicts. In 1929, he broke with the TKP, an organization which had been an important part of his life for eight years. Shortly thereafter, he began working for a journal, Resimli Ay (“Illustrated Monthly”), run by Sabiha and Zekeriya Sertel, with whom Nâzım would develop important life-long friendships. Writing for Resimli Ay, Nâzım mercilessly attacked a number of influential figures in the Turkish literary elite, earning some powerful enemies in the process. The chapter then discusses Nâzım’s courtship and marriage to Piraye, as well as his incarceration in 1933–34. It concludes with a discussion of Nâzım’s poetry and other writings from the early 1930s.
Desperate Measures
Authors: Meyer James H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter begins in 1948, with Nâzım’s ten-year anniversary of incarceration, and ends with his escape from Turkey in June 1951. After providing a “macro” account of Turkey’s changed relations with the US and USSR after World War II, this chapter looks at Nâzım’s rekindled connection with his first cousin Münevver Andaç, who in 1948 paid an unexpected visit to him in prison. This development set off a chain of events leading Nâzım to break off his relationship with his wife Piraye. Energized by his new romance with Münevver, Nâzım revived his efforts to gain an early release. On the heels of an international campaign to win his freedom, Nâzım received an amnesty in July 1950. Continued official harassment in Turkey, however, led him to flee the following year. The chapter concludes with Nâzım escaping into an uncertain future in the Eastern Bloc.
Final Frontiers
Authors: Meyer James H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chapter 13 examines the years between 1960 and Nâzım’s death in 1963. It discusses various personal matters, such as the breakdown of Nâzım’s relationships with Dr. Galina and Münevver Andaç, and his 1960 marriage to Vera Tulyakova. Other sections of this chapter look at Nâzım’s involvement in short-wave radio and TKP-related projects in Leipzig, East Germany. In the early 1960s, Münevver Andaç escaped from Turkey with her children, Süleyman Nuri sought revenge, and Nâzım sank into depression and an obsession with death. With respect to both his writing and his everyday life, Nâzım tied up loose ends and prepared for the end.
Female Power and Religious Change in the Medieval Near East
Authors: Simonsohn Uriel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This book engages with two levels of scholarly discussion that are all too often dealt with separately in modern scholarship, namely the Islamization of the Near East and the place of women in pre-modern Near Eastern societies. The book is premised on the assertion that these two lines of inquiry can, and should, be read in an integrative manner. Put differently, an adequate assessment of major historical themes, such as conversion to Islam, Islamization, religious violence, and the regulation of Muslim–non-Muslim ties must attend to the relatively hidden, yet highly meaningful, role of women. This book is not about the history of women in Islamic-dominated lands, but about the history of Islam from the perspective of female social agents. Women, it is argued here, irrespective of their religious affiliation, possessed crucial means for affecting, or hindering, religious changes, not only in the form of religious conversion, but also in the adoption of practices and the delineation of communal boundaries. A focus on the role and significance of female power in moments of religious change within family households offers a historical angle that is relatively absent from modern scholarship. Rather than locating signs of female autonomy or authority in the political, intellectual, religious, or economic spheres, the present endeavor is concerned with the capacity of women to affect religious communal affiliations thanks to their kinship ties.
Precarious Gatekeepers
Authors: Simonsohn Uriel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In Chapter 6 the question of women’s religious agency comes full circle as it explores the different means by which women were in a position to circumvent religious change. Rather than introducing external religious traditions into the family, or drawing others to convert, the women that feature in this chapter are seen as gatekeepers, or guardians, of communal boundaries. Their heroic perseverance in the face of actual or potential pressures to convert was bound to inspire other women under similar circumstances, as well as their own family members. We are therefore dealing not only with human agency but also with texts that introduce images of ideal conduct in moments of religious conflict. Once again, the normative thread that runs through narratives of diverse religious provenance is of a prioritization of God over family, even at the cost of reversing gender hierarchies. A particularly telling illustration can be found in the Maccabaean story of the mother and her seven sons. The heroic image of the mother, who was willing to sacrifice her sons and herself in order to evade idolatry, was achieved in defiance of a powerful male monarch, yet at the same time through her adoption of male qualities. Different versions of the story were adopted by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim writers, not only in the Near East but also in Europe, thus revealing a common investment in the empowerment of women under circumstances of competing religious attachments.
A Latin American Moment in Indian Fiction
Authors: Raveendran PP 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the intermeshing of fantasy and the historical imagination in the cultural lives of India (especially of Kerala) and Latin America in order to comprehend the intricacies of the ideological worlds that straddle the literary minds of these two cultures. Through an analysis of the words and works of such well-known Latin American and Indian writers as Alejo Carpentier, Julio Cortazar, Jorge-Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, C.V. Raman Pillai, Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, Anand, M. Mukundan, and Sarah Joseph, who are fascinated by realism, surrealism, and magical realism at the same time, the chapter discovers a common breeding ground in the two cultures for the emergence of the shared perception that history ultimately is the fiction that the members of the two cultures live in real life.
O.V. Vijayan
Authors: Raveendran PP 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses the bilingual fictionist O.V. Vijayan, whose novels and short stories are marked by their deep philosophical vision. It is this quality of his fictions as well as the linguistic innovations that accompanied their composition that makes him a legendary storyteller of our times. In spite of Vijayan’s life-long interest in such basic issues as individual freedom and the corruption of those in power, the chapter identifies two phases in Vijayan’s career as a fictionist, each articulating a separate world of experience. The first phase represents the attitude of a sceptic visionary who is fascinated by the materiality of language and allows writing to be governed by the culture’s dialogism and narrative pluralism. The second phase is marked by Vijayan’s metaphysical proclivities, which can be seen reflected in his philosophy of certitude and the guru principle that his novels and short stories articulated during this period.
Anthropocene Theater and the Shakespearean Stage
Authors: Steffen William H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Part object study, part theater history, and part performance theory, this book locates in early modern English stage practices the origins of a theater of the Anthropocene. In addition to endorsing the unpredictability of performance and allowing both non-human players and unplanned accidents to enhance the meaning of a play in the context of early globalization, the Shakespearean stage also continues to offer modern audiences strategies for confronting a rapidly changing global environment. Anthropocene Theater and the Shakespearean Stage revises the anthropocentric narrative of early globalization from the perspective of the non-human world in order to demonstrate nature’s agency in determining ecological, economic, and colonial outcomes. It welcomes readers to reimagine theater history in broader terms, and to account for more non-human and atmospheric players (weather events) in the otherwise anthropocentric history of Shakespearean performance. This book analyzes plays, horticultural manuals, cosmetic recipes, Puritan polemics, and travel writing in order to demonstrate how the material practices of grafting, blackface performance, and pyrotechnics both catalyze and resist early forms of globalization in an ecological arena. Furthermore, this book addresses the role of an understudied ecological performance history in determining Shakespeare’s iconic cultural status, and models how non-human players have undermined Shakespeare’s authoritative role in colonial discourse. Finally, this book makes a celebratory argument for the humanities in the age of climate change, and invites interdisciplinary engagement from students and scholars who are compelled to find strategies for cultivating a hopeful tomorrow amidst unprecedented anthropogenic environmental changes.
Introduction
Authors: Steffen William H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The early modern English stage was a unique ecological site for studying the interplay between human action and non-human agency. Shakespeare’s plays were first performed when the rearrangement of the earth’s biota was still inaugurating a period of anthropogenic environmental changes. This chapter presents early modern performance practices as the backbone of what the author terms a “theater of the Anthropocene,” characterized by an endorsement of accidental on-stage events (such as a storm interrupting a performance of The Tempest) that contribute to the overall meaning of a performance, especially within a context of early globalization or anthropogenic climate change. Furthermore, early modern performance practices offered strategies for confronting unprecedented environmental catastrophes that can prove useful to modern audiences. This chapter also introduces the need for ecocritical studies of Shakespeare to approach his plays and the history of Shakespearean performances anachronistically, using timescales of greater breadth and depth.
Monkeys, Floods, and the “Immortal William”
Authors: Steffen William H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces readers to the performance conditions that a number of touring players encountered when they performed Shakespeare throughout the British colonies. The status and iconicity that Shakespeare enjoys today owes itself in part to the ecological and environmental hazards that actors and actresses were willing to endure in order to wave the flag of Shakespeare in every corner of the globe. This chapter offers a survey of the various ecological hazards that allowed touring performers like Daniel Bandmann, Allan Wilkie, Geoffrey Kendal, George Crichton Miln, Genevieve Ward, Matheson Lang, Frank Benson, and W. E. Holloway to perform Shakespeare in the British colonies, and thus to fulfill the “civilizing mission” of British cultural imperialism. When compiled together, this theater history also places Shakespeare at the center of a theater of the Anthropocene, where accidents abound, and where human intentions are often productively undermined by unforeseen natural players.
Stolen Thunder
Authors: Steffen William H. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on atmospheric agency in Shakespearean performance. Through analyzing specific instances of Shakespearean theater history where weather events have coincided with dramatic performances in colonial settings, this chapter argues that the stage can provide a helpful tool for determining the implications of human agency in the age of anthropogenic climate change. It provides two examples of site-specific Shakespearean weather events in order to demonstrate how an ecological analysis of Shakespearean performance can attend to a more provincial geologic agency. One occurred during a production of The Tempest in the segregated colonial setting of Hamilton, Bermuda in 1950; another occurred at an 1892 production of Romeo and Juliet in Cape Town, South Africa, which coincided with a gold rush in the Witwatersrand basin. In both instances, the uncontrollable weather risks undermined the human intention of promoting Shakespeare’s cultural authority for his colonial audiences.
Shakespeare and University Drama in Early Modern England
Authors: Blank Daniel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Dramatic performances at the universities in early modern England have usually been regarded as insular events, completely removed from the plays of the London stage. Shakespeare and University Drama in Early Modern England challenges that long-held notion, illuminating how an apparently secluded theatrical culture became a major source of inspiration for Shakespeare and his contemporaries. While many university plays featured classical themes, others reflected upon the academic environments in which they were produced, allowing a window into the universities themselves. This window proved especially fruitful for Shakespeare, who, as this book reveals, had a sustained fascination with the universities and their inhabitants. Shakespeare and University Drama in Early Modern England offers groundbreaking new readings of plays from throughout Shakespeare’s career, illustrating how their depictions of academic culture were shaped by university plays. Shakespeare was not unique, however. This book also discusses the impact of university drama on professional plays by Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, and Ben Jonson, all of whom in various ways facilitated the connection between the university stage and the London commercial stage. Yet this connection, perhaps counterintuitively, is most significant in the works of a playwright who had no formal attachment to Oxford or Cambridge. Shakespeare, this study shows, was at the center of a rich exchange between two seemingly disparate theatrical worlds.
The Scholar’s Prejudice in Hamlet
Authors: Blank Daniel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The Danish court in Hamlet is curiously filled with students: Hamlet himself is currently studying at Wittenberg, Horatio is a “fellow student,” and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are his “two schoolfellows.” These characters reflect Shakespeare’s growing fascination with university culture, and this chapter discusses the connections between Hamlet and several contemporary academic plays: William Gager’s Hippolytus, which was performed at Oxford in 1592 and sparked controversy over university drama, as well as the Parnassus trilogy. Hippolytus and the Parnassus trilogy provided Shakespeare with a window into university culture, and much like these plays that inspired him, in Hamlet he gives his audience a bleak portrait of the university, and an even bleaker portrait of its students and scholars. The chapter focuses mainly on two types of institutional prejudice—misogyny and antitheatricalism—which manifest themselves in Hamlet’s interactions with Ophelia and his earliest contact with the Players in Act II Scene 2. When viewed in light of its connections to university drama, Hamlet emerges as a play that explores the link between these prejudices that Hamlet learned at university and has brought home with him to Elsinore.
Conclusion
Authors: Blank Daniel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The Conclusion begins with a 1610 visit by the King’s Men to Oxford, where they performed two plays: Ben Jonson’s The Alchemist and Shakespeare’s Othello. The record of these performances in a letter by the academic clergyman Henry Jackson offers rich insight into the connection between the university and the commercial theater. The Conclusion then turns to Shakespeare’s final play, The Two Noble Kinsmen, which was written with John Fletcher and based on Chaucer’s The Knight’s Tale. The possibility is suggested of a connection between this play and Richard Edwards’ Palamon and Arcite, performed before Queen Elizabeth at Oxford on an important occasion in 1566. In addition to the points of correspondence between these plays, The Two Noble Kinsmen references the story of Meleager, which, as discussed in an earlier chapter, formed the basis for an influential university play by William Gager. These parallels illustrate the extent of the relationship between the university stage and the Shakespearean stage. The Conclusion ends with a brief discussion of the modern university and Shakespeare’s place within it.
Devotional Experience and Erotic Knowledge in the Literary Culture of the English Reformation
Authors: Hokama Rhema 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This book explores the ways in which Calvinist experientialism functioned as both theology and epistemology in the poetry of five early modern English poets: William Shakespeare, Robert Herrick, John Donne, Fulke Greville, and John Milton. In both official church ecclesiology and informal devotional practice, the Reformation introduced the idea that an individual’s experience of devotion did not only entail feeling, but also thought. For early modern English people, bodily experience offered a means of corroborating and verifying devotional truth, making the invisible visible and knowable. I maintain that these religious developments gave early modern thinkers and poets a new epistemological framework for imagining and interpreting devotional intention and access. These Reformed models for devotion not only shaped how people experienced their encounters with God; the changing religious landscape of post-Reformation England also held profound implications for how English poets described sexual longing and access to earthly beloveds in the literary production of the period. In placing the works of English poets in conversation with devotional writers such as William Perkins, Samuel Hieron, Joseph Hall, and William Gouge, I demonstrate how the English Calvinist tradition attributed epistemological potential to a wide range of ordinary experience, including sexual experience.
Brexit, Populism and Business
Authors: Feldmann Magnus , Morgan Glenn 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Brexit has become emblematic of the rise of populism across much of the world in recent years. Although Brexit was widely perceived to run counter to dominant business interests, business played a surprisingly limited role during the referendum campaign (Feldmann and Morgan, 2021). This chapter draws on our research extending Hirschman’s (1970) framework of exit, voice, and loyalty (see Chapter 1) to analyse the strategies adopted by business associations and individual businesses in response to the Brexit process during and after the referendum. We consider a range of factors, including the nature of the Brexit process itself, notably its noisiness (Culpepper, 2011) and the high level of uncertainty associated with it, and also economic interests, such as strategic considerations related to sectoral characteristics, collective representation, and non-economic motivations. By drawing on our analysis of the business responses to Brexit, we also reflect on the broader implications of these developments for understanding business influence in the British political economy.
The Algorithmic Enlightenment
Authors: Shank J. B. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
After tracing the seventeenth-century emergence of the algorithm as a general term for the new instrumental approach to quantitative mathematical reasoning and practice—aka analysis—in the eighteenth century, this chapter then looks at the modernity-making event of Enlightenment science as a result of the establishment within the natural sciences, especially physics, of algorithmic mathematics via analysis as a dominant methodological paradigm. This is one meaning of the “Algorithmic Enlightenment,” namely the establishment and authorization of this particular approach to natural science during the eighteenth century. But in the second part of the chapter, a second meaning of Algorithmic Enlightenment is developed, rooted not in the new quantitative analytical natural sciences of the eighteenth century per se, but in the general acceptance and deployment of universally conceived instrumental and mathematical rule-bound approaches to theorization and problem solving in many domains during the same period. Enlightenment political economy is used as a case study of this aspect of the Algorithmic Enlightenment, along with other projects in universal human and social science characteristic of the period. Both aspects, the article argues, and especially their entanglement, are crucial to understanding how the Enlightenment shaped the place of the algorithm and algorithmic thinking in our contemporaneity.
“For Your Gay Brothers and Your Gay Sisters in Jail”
Authors: Beard Lisa 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 reads trans liberation activist Sylvia Rivera’s speech at the 1973 Christopher Street Liberation Day rally (a predecessor to today’s Pride parades) in relationship to a broader archive of her political organizing work in order to explore her account of how people are connected to each other through constellations of mutuality, debt, kinship, and shared freedom. The chapter examines Rivera’s multivalent identificatory appeals as countercalls issued horizontally and vertically, claiming and defending genealogies of transformative multi-issue liberation struggles within a broader contest over what gay forms of identification would come to mean politically. The chapter explores the relationship between practices of identification and disidentification and the role of the prophetic in struggles over identification. Finally, following Rivera’s political testimony, the chapter asks how access to participating in identificatory struggles is policed and how the costs and dangers are differently distributed among participants in these struggles.
