Bioviolence
Aylan, Isis, Begum, Grenfell, Trump. Harambe, Guantanamo, Syria, Brexit, Johnson. COVID, migrants, trolling, George Floyd, Trump! Gazing over the fractured, contested territories of the current global situation, Watkin finds that all these diverse happenings have one element in common. They occur when biopolitical states, in trying to manage and protect the life rights of their citizens, habitually end up committing acts of coercion or disregard against the very people they have promised to protect. When states tasked with making us live find themselves letting us die, then they are practitioners of a particular kind of force that Watkin calls bioviolence. This book explores and exposes the ...
Badiou and Communicable Worlds
"Conceived as the sequel to Alan Badiou's Being and Event, Logics of Worlds stands as one of the most important texts in contemporary thought. As a complex theory of worlds, the text has, for the most part, been misunderstood. Yet, through William Watkin's diligent and critical close--reading, he guides the reader through the Badiouan text, whilst demonstrating how Logics of Worlds is the essential book for anyone interested in existence, meaning and the potential for radical change"--

In the Process of Poetry
"This is the first major theoretical study of the four main figures of the New York School: John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler. Proposing a reinterpretation of the definition of the avant-garde, William Watkin describes it as a movement typified by its commitment to art in process, over the final art product. In a series of in-depth, and wide-reaching, readings, he then goes on to test this assertion in detailed relation to the poetry of the New York School, while also examining how the poets' own work further develops and analyses the concept of the avant-garde in contemporary culture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Canada And The States
"Canada and the States" by Sir E. W. Watkin is a widespread work that delves into the intricate relationships between Canada and the US, inspecting the historic, economic, and political ties that have shaped these neighboring countries.

The content material may cover a variety of subjects, which includes exchange family members, diplomatic interactions, and possibly the impact of geographical proximity on cultural an...
Canada and the States
Canada and the States is a North America history classic by Edward William Watkin. "If the Maritime Provinces [of Britain] would join us, spontaneously, today--sterile as they may be in the soil under a sky of steel--still with their hardy population, their harbours, fisheries, and seamen, they would greatly strengthen and improve our position, and aid us in our struggle for equality upon the ocean. CANADA AND THE STATES RECOLLECTIONS 1851 to 1886. BY SIR E. W. WATKIN, BART., M.P. "If the Maritime Provinces [of Britain] would join us, spontaneously, to-day--sterile as they may be in the soil under a sky of steel--still with their hardy population, their harbours, fisheries, and seamen, they would greatly strengthen and improve our position, and aid us in our struggle for equality upon the ocean. If we would succeed upon the deep, we must either maintain our fisheries or ABSORB THE PROVINCES." E. H. DERBY, Esq, Report to the Revenue Commissioners of the United States, 1866.
