Wild Articulations
Beginning with the nineteenth-century expeditions, Northern Australia has been both a fascination and concern to the administrators of settler governance in Australia. With Southeast Asia and Melanesia as neighbors, the region's expansive and relatively undeveloped tropical savanna lands are alternately framed as a market opportunity, an ecological prize, a threat to national sovereignty, and a social welfare problem. Over the last several decades, while developers have eagerly promoted the mineral and agricultural potential of its monsoonal catchments, conservationists speak of these same sites as rare biodiverse habitats, and settler governments focus on the “social dysfunction” of its...
Ethical Exchanges in Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy
Ethical Exchanges in Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy examines compelling ethical issues that concern practitioners and scholars in the fields of translation, adaptation and dramaturgy. Its 11 essays, written by academic theorists as well as scholar-practitioners, represent a rich diversity of philosophies and perspectives, and reflect a broad international frame of reference: Asia, Europe, North America, and Australasia. They also traverse a wide range of theatrical forms: classic and contemporary playwrights from Shakespeare to Ibsen, immersive and interactive theatre, verbatim theatre, devised and community theatre, and postdramatic theatre. In examining the ethics of specific artistic practices, the book highlights the significant continuities between translation, adaptation, and dramaturgy; it considers the ethics of spectatorship; and it identifies the tightly interwoven relationship between ethics and politics.

Somapower: Somaesthetics Reads Politics
We do politics in, through, and as bodies. All our political activity is inevitably corporeal. Parliamentary debates, party assemblies, street demonstrations, and civil disobedience are all bodily actions. Political regimes maintain their power by controlling our bodies, both through explicit acts of violence and, more insidiously, by inculcating somatic norms of obedience to the political authorities and ideologies. This oppression can be effectively challenged if we use somaesthetics to identify and examine the bodily habits and feelings that express and reinforce such domination. Somaesthetically explored, they can be refashioned and help overcome the oppressive social conditions that produce them.
International Aid and the Making of a Better World
How can international aid professionals manage to deal with the daily dilemmas of working for the wellbeing of people in countries other than their own? A scholar-activist and lifelong development practitioner seeks to answer that question in a book that provides a vivid and accessible insight into the world of aid – its people, ideas and values against the backdrop of a broader historical analysis of the contested ideals and politics of aid operations from the 1960s to the present day. Moving between aid-recipient countries, head office and global policy spaces, Rosalind Eyben critically examines her own behaviour to explore what happens when trying to improve people’s lives in far-away...
Reality Television
Reality television remains a pervasive form of television programming within our culture. The new mantra is go big or go home, be weird or be invisible. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty, for example,are arguably two of the most compelling reality television programs currently airing because of their uniqueness and ability to transcend traditional boundaries in this genre. Reality Television: Oddities of Culture seeks to explore not the mundane reality programs, but rather those programs that illustrate the odd, unique or peculiar aspects of our society. This anthology will explore such programs across the categories of culture, gender, and celebrity.
Une femme puissante
Marie NDiaye s’impose comme l’une des voix les plus intéressantes de la littérature française contemporaine. L’obtention du prix Goncourt en novembre 2009 pour Trois femmes puissantes vient confirmer ce constat. La recherche littéraire n’a pas tardé à interroger les univers insolites de ses romans, de ses pièces de théâtre et de ses nouvelles qui semblent défier toute tentative de classification générique. Le réalisme ndiayïen agit en correcteur des formes préétablies, qui suggèrent une cohérence que la réalité n’offre pas. L’auteure refuse la parenté avec les moules des genres traditionnels et renonce à s’intégrer dans une grande et heureuse « famille » littéraire. C’est dans cette perspective que le présent ouvrage se propose de relire l’œuvre de Marie NDiaye en réfléchissant sur des sujets tels que les mécanismes d’exclusion sociale, l’étrangeté et les procédés discursifs de racialisation aussi bien que sur la dimension poétique de son écriture et sur la gestion de l’image de l’auteure et les enjeux médiatiques de sa représentation.
Images of Whiteness
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. This collection of works emerges from Interdisciplinary.Net’s second global conference on whiteness entitled Images of Whiteness. True to Interdisciplinary’s ethos, the conference draws scholars and activists from disciplines such as anthropology, education, art, counselling, cultural studies, gender studies, history, and literature, to engage in a dialogue on whiteness: how to see it, resist it, and challenge it. The chapters examine the images and effects of whiteness in literature, film, and television, as well as in ethnographic studies, and provide preliminary guidance to engage in anti-racist praxis and education.
