Electromagnetism and the Metonymic Imagination
How does the imagination work? How can it lead to both reverie and scientific insight? In this book, Kieran M. Murphy sheds new light on these perennial questions by showing how they have been closely tied to the history of electromagnetism. The discovery in 1820 of a mysterious relationship between electricity and magnetism led not only to technological inventions—such as the dynamo and telegraph, which ushered in the “electric age”—but also to a profound reconceptualization of nature and the role the imagination plays in it. From the literary experiments of Edgar Allan Poe, Honoré de Balzac, Villiers de l’Isle-Adam, and André Breton to the creative leaps of Michael Faraday and ...
The Zombie Reader (First Edition)
The Zombie Reader explores the figure of the zombie from its origin in the Caribbean to its explosion in popular culture. Using a transdisciplinary approach, this anthology of classic and new texts on the zombie provides students with a fascinating case study to understand the interaction of culture, history, and ideology. Through four thematic parts, The Zombie Reader focuses on important concepts and historical events responsible for the rise of this iconic monster.

Documenting Trauma in Comics
Why are so many contemporary comics and graphic narratives written as memoirs or documentaries of traumatic events? Is there a specific relationship between the comics form and the documentation and reportage of trauma? How do the interpretive demands made on comics readers shape their relationships with traumatic events? And how does comics’ documentation of traumatic pasts operate across national borders and in different cultural, political, and politicised contexts? The sixteen chapters and three comics included in Documenting Trauma in Comics set out to answer exactly these questions. Drawing on a range of historically and geographically expansive examples, the contributors bring their different perspectives to bear on the tangled and often fraught intersections between trauma studies, comics studies, and theories of documentary practices and processes. The result is a collection that shows how comics is not simply related to trauma, but a generative force that has become central to its remembrance, documentation, and study.
Water
Drawing on some recent developments in the blue humanities, this book addresses water as a material, political and cultural phenomenon across a variety of spatial and temporal contexts. Moving beyond the somewhat hackneyed concepts of fluidity and flows, this volume gathers critical perspectives that balance between the scientific, the social, the (bio- )political and the cultural. The contributors to this book draw on a wide and rapidly growing body of scholarship that includes (but is not limited to) maritime, climate change and Anthropocene studies as well as the ‘blue humanities.’ Three major, broadly conceived currents of thought run through these essays: the protean relationalities...
