Competing Titles

Bashir Maan The Thistle and The Crescent (2008, 256pp, Argyll Publishing, £8.99) is the main reference text on the settlement and the development of Muslim (mostly South Asian) communities in Scotland up to the mid-2000s. This book serves primarily as a descriptive historical account and, therefore, has a different angle from the analytical social framework that Muslims in Scotland employs.

Ali Wardak’s Social Control and Deviance: A South Asian Community in Scotland (Ashgate, 288pp, 2000, £65) explores an ethnic section of the Muslim community (Pakistanis) in Edinburgh. However, its focus is limited to social control and deviance. The book is also outdated, based on fieldwork conducted in the late 1980s and 1990s.

DescriptionThe late President of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-1970), has been represented in many major works of Egyptian literature and film, and continues to have a presence in everyday life and discourse in the country. This book focuses on how the historical character of Nasser has emerged in the Egyptian imaginary—novels, short stories, autobiographies, and films. It makes a case for literature and art as an alternative archive that questions, erases, distorts and adds to the official history of Nasser.

Examines representations of Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egyptian novels, short stories, autobiographies and films

Bilingualism as a Conversational ResourceJoseph Gafaranga

The AuthorJoseph Gafaranga is Senior Lecturer in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.

DescriptionResearch on bilingualism and on code-switching in particular has traditionally been geared towards rehabilitating bilingualism and bilingual language use. From being seen as a sign of lack of competence, code-switching is now seen as a sign of high competence in the languages involved. However, this rehabilitation of bilingualism raises an entirely new problem: Where to from here? How can the study of bilingualism continue to be interesting and relevant

In order to overcome the challenges the discipline faces as a result of its own success, here Joseph Gafaranga argues, the notion of bilingualism itself must be redefined. Bilingualism must be seen as consisting of diverse interactional practices and investigated as such. This book details the rehabilitation effort which has been undertaken to get us where we are today, proposes a methodology which can be used in moving forward and illustrates it with three case studies, all the while inviting other researchers to contribute to this new research direction.

Foregrounds the practical use of bilingualism, with specific reference to talk organisation

160 pp. 216 x 138 mm


Key Features• Demonstrates empirically how bilingualism can be thought of as a resource,

drawing on data from a variety of sociolinguistic contexts• Examines specific aspects of conversational organisation (such as turn-

taking, sequence organisation, repair organisation) where language choice is used as a resource

• Investigates the role of language choice in bilingual conversation against the backdrop of clearly set out theoretical backgrounds.

Readership Academics, researchers and advanced students in sociolinguistics, bilingualism, conversation analysis and discourse analysis.

November 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 1440 1 • £75.00 BIC: DN, DNF, DSC, DSG, DSK

DescriptionRepresenting a profound engagement with the work of Samuel Beckett, this volume gathers the very best of Stan Gontarski’s Beckett criticism on practical, theoretical and critical levels. Such a range suggests a multiplicity of approaches to a body of work itself multiple, produced by an artist who underwent any number of transformations and reinventions over his long writing career. Many of the essays collected here explore Beckett’s debt to his age, Beckett very much a product of a culture in transition, which change he would help foster. But much of Beckett’s creative struggle was to find a new way, his own way. Most of the essays that comprise this volume detail that struggle, toward a way we now call Beckettian.

Shakespeare and JudgmentEdited by Kevin Curran

The EditorKevin Curran is Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and editor of the book series "Edinburgh Critical Studies in Shakespeare and Philosophy."

November 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 1315 2 • £70.00 BIC: DSA, DSG, HPQ, LA

DescriptionShakespeare and Judgment gathers together an international group of scholars to address for the first time the place of judgment in Shakespearean drama. Contributors approach the topic from a variety of cultural and theoretical perspectives, covering plays from across Shakespeare’s career and from each of the genres in which he wrote. Anchoring the volume are two critical contentions: first, that attending to Shakespeare’s treatment of judgment leads to fresh insights about the imaginative relationship between law, theater, and aesthetics in early modern England; and second, that it offers new ways of putting the plays’ historical and philosophical contexts into conversation. Taken together, the essays in Shakespeare and Judgment offer a genuinely new account of the historical and intellectual coordinates of Shakespeare’s plays. Building on current work in legal studies, religious studies, theater history, and critical theory, the volume will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working on Shakespeare and early modern drama.

Ranging widely across law, aesthetics, religion, and philosophy, this book offers the first account of the place of judgment in Shakespearean drama

The AuthorMatthew Abbott is Lecturer in Philosophy at Federation University Australia.

November 2016Hb • 978 0 7486 9990 2 • £70.00 BIC: APFA, APFB, HP

DescriptionMathew Abbott defends film-philosophy through the cinema of Abbas Kiarostami. He demonstrates that the Iranian director’s movies exemplify what has been called ‘cinematic thinking,’ the idea that film can illustrate philosophical ideas and arguments, and also the bolder (and more controversial) theory that it is capable of a certain type of thought.

Focusing in particular on Kiarostami’s recent films – Taste of Cherry, The Wind Will Carry Us, ABC Africa, Ten, Five, Shirin, Certified Copy and Like Someone in Love – Abbott shows that the thinking at work in them is deflationary and destructive.

November 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 0829 5 • £70.00 BIC: HP, HPJ, HPS

DescriptionThis volume of 12 new essays breaks the myth that Deleuze and Lacan were foreign, perhaps even hostile to each other, by placing their work in productive conversation. Both thinkers emphasises the three spheres of enquiry of ontology/topology, critique and clinic in their work. These three areas now lead the discussion in this collection. New lines of research into both Deleuze and Lacan are revealed by acknowledging their differences in this positive and mutually informed reading.

Deleuze and Guattari in the AnthropoceneDeleuze Studies Volume 10, Issue 4Arun Saldanha and Hannah Stark

The AuthorArun Saldanha is Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota.

Hannah Stark is Lecturer in English at the University of Tasmania.

November 2016Pb • 978 1 4744 1521 7 • £16.99 BIC: HPCF, HPN, JNA

DescriptionTwenty years after his death, Deleuze’s thought continues to be mobilised in relation to the most timely and critical problems society faces, foremost amongst which is the Anthropocene. What might the significance of Deleuze and Guattari be in relation to the new and urgent set of concerns that the Anthropocene engenders? Deleuze’s work presaged much of the concept of the Anthropocene, not only in his sustained challenges to humanism, anthropocentrism and capitalism, but also through his interest in geology and the philosophy of time. Guattari gave his work an ‘ecosophical’ and ‘cartographical’ dimension and spoke of a ‘mechanosphere’. Together, they advocated a ‘geophilosophy’ which called for a ‘new earth’ along with ‘new peoples’. Not only does the work of Deleuze and Guattari offer a range of useful concepts that can be applied to contemporary global problems such as anthropogenic climate change, peak oil and the exploitation of the nonhuman, but it also models the kind of interdisciplinarity that the epoch of the Anthropocene requires. This special issue of Deleuze Studies will engage the many philosophical tools provided by Deleuze and Guattari and their interlocutors in order to critically approach our particularly tense moment in earth history. Simultaneously it asks how this moment could change the ways Deleuze and Guattari are further developed.

Natural CatastropheClimate Change and Neoliberal GovernanceBrian Elliott

The AuthorBrian Elliott is Instructor of Philosophy at Portland State University.

November 2016Pb • 978 1 4744 1049 6 • £14.99 BIC: JPA, RNA

DescriptionBrian Elliott persuasively argues that climate change is, in fact, a symptom of neoliberal governance. This helps us to understand how, across wealthy liberal democracies, environmental concern has increasingly been framed as a consumer responsibility issue rather than as a matter of structural social-political transformation.

Thinking of a world truly beyond climate change requires us to reimagine the state beyond its current neoliberal configuration. Elliott argues that, in order to achieve this, environmental politics in the west needs to renew the Marxist challenge to the global market’s benign production of social utility and construct a new non-apocalyptic politics of nature.

Ethics and Politics after PoststructuralismLevinas, Derrida and Nancy

Madeleine Fagan

The AuthorMadeleine Fagan is an Institute of Advanced Studies Global Research Fellow, Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick.

November 2016Pb • 978 1 4744 2050 1 • £19.99 BIC: HPQ, HPS, JPA, JPFF, JPS

DescriptionDrawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, Madeleine Fagan puts forward a radical and far-reaching refusal of foundational ethics. Instead, she proposes that politics isn't built on ethics, where the two are separate things: politics and ethics are actually inseparable.

The ‘ethical’ should not be understood as a label; it does not mean ‘good’ or ‘right’, it is not an evaluation or guide. Rather, both the ethical and the political are descriptions of the context in which we find ourselves. Fagan shows us how it has become necessary to rethink the relationship between ethics and politics, based on how we practice both. In doing so, she overturns a series of common assumptions about about poststructuralist ethics.

What would political thought look like without the foundation of ethics?

Colloquially, 'taking on' means both accepting and challenging. This series provides a space to engage with the expanded field of the political that continues to inspire and provoke critical inquiry and practical intervention.

Themes addressed include ethical responsibility and commonality, emerging strategies of governance, subjectivity and power, the legacies of political modernity and the political dimension of postfoundational thought.

In addition to engaging with these themes, the series is particularly interested in taking on the conventions through which they are expressed.
