Animals, Plants and Afterimages
The sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction is one of the most pervasive issues of our time. Animals, Plants and Afterimages brings together leading scholars in the humanities and life sciences to explore how extinct species are represented in art and visual culture, with a special emphasis on museums. Engaging with celebrated cases of vanished species such as the quagga and the thylacine as well as less well-known examples of animals and plants, these essays explore how representations of recent and ancient extinctions help advance scientific understanding and speak to contemporary ecological and environmental concerns.
The Auschwitz Sonderkommando
This book is the first to bring together analyses of the full range of post-war testimony given by survivors of the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Auschwitz Sonderkommando were slave labourers in the gas chambers and crematoria, forced to process and dispose of the bodies of those who were murdered. They have been central to a number of key topics in post-war debates about the Shoah: collaboration, moral compromise and survival, resistance, representation, and the possibility of bearing witness. Their testimony however has mostly met with a reluctance to engage in depth with it. Moving from testimonies produced within the event, the Scrolls of Auschwitz and the Sonderkommando photographs, to testimonies given at trials and for video archives, and to the paintings of David Olère and the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann, this book demonstrates the importance of their witnessing in the post-war memory of the Holocaust, and provides vital new insights into the questions of representation, memory, gender, and the Shoah.

History and Art History
Through a series of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary interventions, leading international scholars of history and art history explore ways in which the study of images enhances knowledge of the past and informs our understanding of the present. Spanning a diverse range of time periods and places, the contributions cumulatively showcase ways in which ongoing dialogue between history and art history raises important aesthetic, ethical and political questions for the disciplines. The volume fosters a methodological awareness that enriches exchanges across these distinct fields of knowledge. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars in art history, cultural studies, history, visual culture and historiography.
Love Murder
" Souviens-toi de son visage. C'est le dernier que tu verras. " Une nymphe à la beauté inquiétante, Katherine Glass, patiente dans le couloir de la mort pour avoir torturé puis assassiné une dizaine de femmes. Mais son partenaire dans le crime, l'Homme au masque, court toujours... Et six ans après les meurtres, il recommence à tuer. Valerie Hart, l'inspectrice à qui l'on doit l'arrestation de Katherine, est décidée à enfin clore le chapitre. Pour parvenir à ses fins, elle est même prête à rendre visite à la vénéneuse détenue – cette femme qui éveille en elle des pulsions dangereuses et semble lire dans l'intimité de son couple. Avec cette nouvelle enquête de Valerie Hart, intrépide femme flic et fumeuse impénitente, Saul Black renouvelle son tour de force : emporter le lecteur dans une course-poursuite qui mêle humour, intelligence, suspense et tourments de l'âme.
