Missing
Missing is the abridged edition of Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room. Mysterious Ruby Love, also known as the Countess Rivers, has been convicted of a murder she cannot remember. As she writes in her cell, she is carried away on a journey into memory in a fugue of voices, and hallucinations of music. Ancient Greek philosophy and numerology that Bach believed in weave the background to this fugue mystery.
The Writer's Fugue
The Writer's Fugue, Ruth Skilbeck's PhD thesis, updated, with the addition of her essay applying her original musico-literary fugal writing theory, published in Cultural Studies of Rights: Critical Articulations (Routledge/Taylor and Francis 2011; 2014) first published in a special issue of Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies (Vol. 7, No. 3, 2010).
Cultural Studies of Rights
At a time of global uncertainties and erosion of liberties, how will cultural studies clear a space for a parallel intellectual and political engagement with human rights practice? How will human rights thinking be liberated from its doctrinal approach to ethics and legal justice? This book forges an alliance between cultural studies and human rights scholarships, to help us better understand the changing and complex political context that continuously shapes contemporary violence. To date, interdisciplinary dialogue or institutional collaboration remains rare across the two domains, resulting in critical interpretive work appearing too vacuous at times and institutional legal work often trapped in doctrinalism. By opening a door for a new and engaging scholarship, this book will re-ignite debates and passions within communication and critical cultural studies in the search for global justice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies.
Australian Fugue
Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room is a fugue fiction novel that interweaves stories of a jailed art gallery owner with vignettes from medical journals, cultural texts, poetry, dreams, and voices of others. Who is the violinist and what are those haunting airs? is the narrator wrongly jailed, or is the Countess a murderess?
The End of Diversity in Art Historical Writing
The End of Diversity in Art Historical Writing is the most globally informed book on world art history, drawing on research in 76 countries.

It covers the principal accounts of Eurocentrism, center and margins, circulations and atlases of art, decolonial theory, incommensurate cultures, the origins and dissemination of the "October" model, problems of access to resources, models of multiple modernisms, and the emergence of English as the de facto lingua franca of art writing.

First edition paperback.
The Dandy at Dusk
Philip Mann chronicles the relationship of dandyism and the emerging cultural landscape of modernity via portraits of Regency England's Beau Brummel – the first dandy – and six twentieth-century figures: Austrian architect Adolf Loos, the Duke of Windsor, neo-Edwardian courtier Bunny Roger, writer and raconteur Quentin Crisp, French film producer Jean-Pierre Melville, and New German Cinema enfant terrible and inverted dandy Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He blends memorable anecdotes with acute analysis to explore their style, identity and influence and interweaves their stories with an entertaining history of tailoring and men's fashion. The Dandy at Dusk contextualizes the relationship between dandyism, decadence and modernism, against the background of a century punctuated by global conflict and social upheaval.
