DescriptionIn a provocative 1985 cover story featuring the face of Marianne obscured by an Islamic veil, Le Figaro Magazine asked: "Serons-nous encore français dans trente ans?". With those 30 years now spanned, where does France stand in relation to the fears, challenges and opportunities associated with changing perceptions of ethnic and cultural diversity within and beyond the nation’s borders? Is the France of 2015 still French in the same way or to the same degree as the France of 1985? Where do the most significant challenges to "Frenchness" now lie? In Islamism? In the "banlieues"? In European integration? In American hegemony? Is "Frenchness" itself, championed by political elites under the banner of "l’exception culturelle", an outmoded concept, destined to wither in the face of transnational forces? These are among the issues addressed by contributors to this volume, spanning a wide range of topics and disciplinary approaches including politics, literature, film and sport.

DescriptionThe first book to address the vast diversity of Northern circumpolar cinemas from a transnational perspective, Films on Ice presents the region as one of great and previously overlooked cinematic diversity. With chapters on polar explorer films, silent cinema, documentaries, ethnographic and indigenous film, gender and ecology, as well as Hollywood and the USSR’s uses and abuses of the Arctic, this book provides a groundbreaking account of Arctic cinemas from 1898 to the present and radically alters stereotypical views of the Arctic region.

DescriptionIn the context of a frantic world that celebrates instantaneity and speed, a number of cinemas steeped in contemplation, silence and duration have garnered significant critical attention in recent years, thus resonating with a larger sociocultural movement whose aim is to rescue extended temporal structures from the accelerated tempo of late-capitalism. Although not part of a structured film movement, directors such as Carlos Reygadas, Tsai Ming-liang, Béla Tarr, Pedro Costa and Kelly Reichardt have been largely subsumed under the term ‘slow cinema’. But what exactly is slow cinema? Is it a strictly recent phenomenon or an overarching cinematic tradition? And how exactly do slow cinemas interrelate on an aesthetic, technical and political level?

Deploying the concept of slowness as an umbrella category under which filmmakers and traditions from different historical and geographical backgrounds can fruitfully converge, this innovative collection of essays interrogates and expands the frameworks that have generally informed slow cinema debates. Repositioning the term in a broader theoretical space, the book combines an array of fine-grained studies that will provide valuable insight into the notion of slowness in the cinema, while mapping out past and contemporary slow films across the globe.

Situates, theorises and maps out cinematic slowness within contemporary global film production and across world cinema history

DescriptionTowards a Feminist Cinematic Ethics develops an account of non-normative ethics that can be used to think about filmmaking and viewing, using two philosopher – Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Nancy, and the work of filmmaker Claire Denis. In an accessible and engaging manner, it offers new readings of Denis’ films, situating them within larger feminist, postcolonial and queer debates about identity and difference. Using a generative methodology, the book works towards a mutually challenging and productive relationship between cinematic ideas and philosophical concepts.

December 2015Hb • 978 1 4744 0920 9 • £75.00 BIC: HBJF, HRHP, JP

DescriptionFocusing on Indonesia and Malaysia, this book looks at how European colonial and Islamic modernising powers operated in the common and parallel domains of government and politics, law and education in the first half of the 20th century. It shows that colonialisation was able to co-exist with Islamisation, arguing that Islamic movements were not necessarily antithetical to modernisation, nor that Western modernity was always anathema to Islamic and local custom. Rather, in distinguishing religious from worldly affairs, they were able to adopt and adapt modern ideas and practices that were useful or relevant while maintaining the Islamic faith and ritual that they believed to be essential.

In developing an understanding of the common ways in which Islam was defined and treated in Indonesia and Malaysia, we can gain a new insight to Muslim politics and culture in Southeast Asia.

DescriptionVirginia Woolf taught history at Morley College for adult education; addressed envelopes in an adult suffrage office in 1910; she was the treasurer of the Rodmell Women’s Institute and had a life-long affiliation with the Women’s Co-operative Guild. Yet the compelling details of this activity have been critically neglected owing to an emphasis on the politics of Woolf’s writing, rather than her actual participation. Responding to this significant gap in Woolf scholarship and drawing on a wealth of archival material, this book establishes the details of Woolf’s participation with these four organisations and sets this activism within the contexts of the institutional moments in which she worked.

As well as tracing Woolf’s career as an activist across 45 years, this book also explores the consistent but often contradictory way in which this participation is written into a range of Woolf’s short stories, novels and essays including ‘Report on Teaching at Morley College’, ‘Memoirs of a Novelist’, ‘The Journal of Mistress Joan Martyn’, Melymbrosia, The Voyage Out, Night and Day, The Years, ‘Introductory Letter’, ‘On Being Ill’, ‘Cook Sketch’, the ‘Dreadnought Hoax Talk’, ‘The Leaning Tower’, and Between the Acts.

The first full-length study of Virginia Woolf’s activism


Literary Studies

Key Features• Based on original archival research and includes two new transcriptions of

previously unpublished material by Woolf: the ‘Report on Teaching at Morley College’ (‘Morley Sketch’), and the ‘Cook Sketch’

• Provides insights into the histories of neglected institutions through accounts of Woolf’s activism

• Introduces significant new contexts for reading Woolf’s texts, challenging established critical assumptions

• Explores a range of texts, reading across genres in productive and imaginative ways which are alert to class and gender politics in each case

Readership Academics, researchers, postgraduates, upper-level undergraduates in Modernism, Modernist Literature, Virginia Woolf, Women Writers, Twentieth-Century Literature, Literature and Politics.



Fighting FranceFrom Dunkerque to Belfort

Edith Wharton Edited by Alice Kelly

The AuthorEdith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist and short-story writer, and the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize.

The EditorAlice Kelly is Visiting Scholar at Yale University.

December 2015Hb • 978 1 4744 0692 5 • £70.00 BIC: DN, DSB, DSK

DescriptionEdith Wharton was one of the first woman writers to be allowed to visit the war zones in France. This resulting collection of 6 essays presents a fascinating and unique perspective on wartime France by one of America’s great novelists. Written with Wharton’s distinctive literary skills to advocate American intervention in the war, this little-known war text demonstrates that she was a complex and accomplished propagandist. However, these eyewitness accounts also demonstrate a troubling awareness of the human cost of war.

This new critical edition aims to bring this neglected text into the field of Wharton studies, allowing critics and enthusiasts to re-evaluate her contribution as a war writer and to assess the significance of this period for her literary development.

DescriptionWhat are we to make of good and evil in the modern world? How can works of the imagination help us? These essays put art to work in the service of political and ethical inquiry. They treat the artist as a crucial moral witness of our troubled times. Like Alex Danchev’s widely acclaimed previous collection for EUP, On Art and War and Terror (2009), they take their inspiration from Seamus Heaney’s dictum that ‘the imaginative transformation of human life is the means by which we can most truly grasp and comprehend it’.

DescriptionIs Europe’s crisis just a financial one – or is there a deeper problem? Tackling issues ranging from Europe’s legal, institutional and cultural identity to its border, citizenship and integration policies, and looking forward to its legacy for the future, the contributors to this volume interrogate the various dimensions and contours of the European crisis. By revisiting Derrida’s diagnosis of the crisis of European identity, they simultaneously propose a new direction for Europe, and an alternative response to today’s crisis.

Having anticipated a crisis-to-come, what can Derrida offer Europe now that the crisis has come?

DescriptionSince its original publication in 1985, Church and University in the Scottish Enlightenment has come to be regarded as a classic work in 18th-century Scottish history and Enlightenment studies. It depicts Hugh Blair, Alexander Carlyle, Adam Ferguson, John Home, and William Robertson as an intimate coterie that played a central role in the Scottish Enlightenment, seen here not only as an intellectual but as a cultural movement. These men were among the leaders in the University of Edinburgh, in the Moderate party in the Church of Scotland, and in Edinburgh’s thriving clubs. They used their institutional influence and their books, plays, sermons, and pamphlets to promulgate the tenets of Moderatism, including polite Presbyterianism, Christian Stoicism, civic humanism, social and political conservatism, and the tolerant, cosmopolitan values of the international Enlightenment. Using a wide variety of sources and an interdisciplinary methodology, this collective biography portrays these "Moderate literati" as zealous activists for the cause in which they believed, ranging from support for a Scots militia, Ossian, and Roman Catholic relief to opposition to the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and the American and French Revolutions.

Scottish GodsReligion in Modern Scotland 1900–2012

Steve Bruce

The AuthorSteve Bruce is Professor of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen.

December 2015Pb • 978 1 4744 0840 0 • £19.99 BIC: HRAM, HRAX

DescriptionSteve Bruce explores Scotland’s transformation from the largely devout Presbyterian country of 1900, with the church as a major social force, to the diverse, more secular society of today, when less than 10 per cent of Scots attend church. He bases his study on a career’s worth of historical, ethnographic and statistical research, to provide both a coherent description of Scotland’s current religious complexion and a considered explanation of the forces that shaped it.

Edinburgh Studies in Law was launched by Edinburgh University Press in 2005 in association with the Edinburgh Law Review Trust. The series provides a forum for high quality academic writing on contemporary substantive law, private and public, and for legal theory and legal history. A distinctive feature is a focus on Scots law and legal culture from an international and comparative perspective. Scots law is among the handful of legal systems that combines common law with civil law, and some of the initial volumes in the series explore aspects of such 'mixed' legal systems.
