"Against the Carceral Archive is a meditation upon what author Damien M. Sojoyner calls the "carceral archival project," offering a distillation of critical, theoretical, and activist work of prison abolitionists over the past three decades. Working from five collections at the Southern California Library (Black Panthers, LA Chapter; the Coalition Against Police Abuse; Urban Policy Research Institute; Mothers Reclaiming our Child; and the collection of geographer Clyde Woods), it builds upon theories of the archive to examine carcerality as the dominant mode of state governance over Black populations in the United States since the 1960s. Each chapter takes up an element of the carceral archive and its destabilization, destruction and containment of Black life: its notion of the human and the production of "pejorative blackness," the intimate connection between police and military in the protection of racial capitalism and its fossil-fuel based economy, the role of technology in counterintelligence and counterinsurgency logics. Importantly, each chapter also emphasizes the carceral archive's fundamental failure to destroy "Black communal logics" and radical Black forms of knowledge production, both of which contest the carceral archive and create other forms of life in its midst. Concluding with a statement on the reckoning with the radical traditions of thought and being which liberation requires, Sojoyner offers a compelling argument for how the centering of Blackness enables a structuring of the mind that refuses the violent exploitative tendencies of western epistemological traditions as viable life-affirming practices"--

Franz Neumanns "Behemoth" gilt heute als ein moderner Klassiker der Sozialwissenschaft. 1942, in der Entscheidungsphase des Zweiten Weltkrieges publiziert, war das Buch die erste Gesamtdarstellung Hitler-Deutschlands aus Emigranten-Feder. Die empirische Analyse der vier Säulen der NS-Gesellschaft (Monopolwirtschaft, Staatsbürokratie, NSPartei, Wehrmacht), und die kühne These von der chaotischen Struktur des nationalsozialistischen Herrschaftssystems, auf die der Name aus der jüdischen Mythologie verweist, sind eine Herausforderung für die historische NS-Forschung geblieben. Für die Einführung in ein Werk von diesen Dimensionen halten sich die Autoren an verschiedene Formate: Der Beitrag von Alfons Söllner ist biographisch orientiert und stellt Franz Neumann als exemplarischen Vertreter der politischen Emigration heraus; Michael Wildt verortet den "Behemoth" in der internationalen NS- und Holocaust-Forschung und fragt u.a., weshalb die Neumann-Rezeption im Nachkriegsdeutschland so lange vernachlässigt wurde. Der Rezensionsessay von Hubertus Buchstein gibt weitere Hinweise auf die Entstehungsgeschichte des Buches und zeigt, dass es immer noch lebhafte Polemiken auszulösen vermag. Um den "anderen" Zugriff der angelsächsischen Debatte zu verdeutlichen, wird die Einführung zur englischen Neuausgabe von Peter Hayes nachgedruckt.

The first comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of Junian LatinitySets a new agenda for the study of Junian Latinity, slavery, manumission and citizenship at Rome Discusses the historical and legal developments of Junian Latinity from Republic to and beyond Late Antiquity Combines authoritative surveys with cutting-edge arguments Brings together leading researchers from history, law and literature This book offers new historical, legal and literary explorations of a status held by uncountable formerly enslaved persons in the Roman Empire: Junian Latinity. It is the first book in any language to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of this status. Divided in two parts, the book sets the scene with six chapters that discuss the legal innovations that created Junian Latinity, as well as the historical contexts in which the status was conceived and in which it developed – from the late republican period to the early medieval world. Four chapters in the second book part offer then new research on key Latin literary texts to provide fresh insights into the role of Junian Latinity in Roman imperial society. The book makes a strong case for the centrality of Junian Latinity in the Roman Empire and the importance of its modern study

Reconsiders contemporary Disney animation through the critical lens of genre theoryReveals new directions for the study of Disney's gender portrayals by combining a film genre perspective and the concept of post-feminism Examines the multifaceted interactions between Disney animated films, Pixar, Marvel, and other properties, providing insight into Disney's expanding cinematic universeSupported throughout by close analyse of the films, marketing materials, merchandising, and a wide range of comparative case studies from mainstream animation and Hollywood cinemaContemporary Disney Animation: Genre, Gender and Hollywood is the first in-depth study of Disney's latest animated output from the perspective of genre theory. Analysing a decade in Disney's history (2008-2018), Benhamou examines the multifaceted interactions between animated films, Disney properties such as Pixar and Marvel, and popular genres including the romantic comedy, the superhero film and the cop buddy film. Through this extensive critical lens, combined with a focus on gender, she provides illuminating and original insights on films such as Tangled, Frozen and Moana. Informed by wider discourses on contemporary Hollywood and post-feminism, this book challenges conventional approaches to Disney, and foregrounds the importance of animation in understandings of film genres

Many young professionals seek egalitarian partnerships in which both partners work for pay and share unpaid housework and childcare. Yet working couples' realities often deviate from this ideal, with women trading off employment for family care. Will contemporary young adults repeat this pattern, or will they come closer to achieving equality in work and family? Equal Partners? seeks to explore this question. Drawing on six years of interviews with the partners in 21 different-gender couples, Jaclyn S. Wong documents how supportive workplaces, partners' steadfast gender-egalitarian attitudes, and partners' jointly coordinated actions all need to come together for couples to experience gender equality in work and family. This book offers a compelling study of the dynamics of couples who aspire to equality as they navigate the external pressures that come with life planning in ambitious partnerships

"This book introduces new non-Western perspectives on the Arab Uprisings, to decenter and decolonize International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies. Drawing on over 10 years of fieldwork, ethnography, and empirical research, it is one of the first books to evaluate the position of International Relations theorists towards the study of the Arab Uprisings. It relies on local IR scholarship from the region, which is rarely considered, and includes 250 interviews. It provides a critical account of why democratic revolutions have failed, how counterrevolutions and authoritarianism have fortified, and why revolutions will resurgence once again in this turbulent region"--

Investigating the unsolved murder of a female law student and the pervasive violence against Guatemalan women that drives migration. Part memoir and part forensic investigation, Textures of Terror is a gripping first-person story of women, violence, and migration out of Guatemala--and how the United States is implicated. Accompanying Jorge Velásquez in a years-long search for answers after the brutal murder of his daughter Claudina Isabel, Victoria Sanford explores what it means to seek justice in "postconflict" countries where violence never ended. Through this father's determined struggle and other stories of justice denied, Textures of Terror offers a deeper understanding of US policies in Latin America and their ripple effect on migration. Sanford offers an up-close appraisal of the inner workings of the Guatemalan criminal justice system and how it maintains inequality, patriarchy, and impunity. Presenting the stories of other women who have suffered at the hands of strangers, intimate partners, and the security forces, this work reveals the deeply gendered nature of power and violence in Guatemala.
