2010

This catalogue presents the 2010 collection of Beyond Books: The Faculty of Arts & Science Showcase of Publications. The publications featured within and at the accompanying exhibit represent a sampling of the scholarship produced by a wide variety of scholars in the Faculty of Arts & Science between 2008 and 2010. Over this period, approximately 100 authors and editors produced more than 160 publications in a variety of forms including books, journals, websites and other digital media.

Included in this year’s collection are works by scholars in disciplines spanning the humanities, social sciences and the sciences, as well as from the University of Toronto Libraries. There are also works by relatively new faculty, many of whom are establishing themselves as future leaders in their fields.

Other publications include contributions by students, which is encouraging evidence of the degree to which our faculty members are engaging students in their research.

We acknowledge the enduring support of our partners in this exercise, the University of Toronto’s Office of the Vice-President, Research and the University of Toronto Libraries.

See the publications featured in this catalogue on display in the first floor exhibit area of Robarts Library from May 21 to Aug. 31, 2010.

NOTES TO READER:

1The publications in this catalogue are listed in alphabetical order by title. In cases where there are

multiple contributors to a particular title, the U of T-affiliated contributor’s name is listed first.

2Except for contributors from the University of Toronto Libraries, all U of T-affiliated contributors hold either an undergraduate or graduate appointment in the Faculty of Arts & Science.

A PERilOuS iMBAlANcE: ThE GlOBAlizATiON OF cANADiAN lAw AND GOvERNANcE

Stephen clarkson – Political Science, Stepan wood

UBC Press

Through an examination of Canadians’ complicated roles as agents and objects of globalization, this book shows how Canada’s experience of and contribution to globalized governance is characterized by serious imbalances. It explores these imbalances by tracing three interlinked developments: the emergence of a neoconservative supraconstitution, the transformation of the nation-state, and the growth of governance beyond the nation-state. Advocating for a revitalizated Canadian state as a vehicle for pursuing human security, ecological integrity, and social emancipation, and for creating spaces in which progressive, alternative forms of law and governance can unfold, A Perilous Imbalance offers a compelling analysis of the challenges that middle powers and their citizens face in a globalizing world.

A wORlD OF FRAGilE ThiNGS: PSychOANAlySiS AND ThE ART OF liviNG

Mari Ruti – English, uTM English & Drama

SUNY Press

A World of Fragile Things asks what happens to the philosophical notion of ‘the art of living’ when one approaches the matter from a specifically psychoanalytic perspective. The book argues that a contemporary art of living cannot be a matter of crafting a coherent self, but by necessity entails learning how to live with a degree of incoherence and insecurity.

AMERicAN ABySS: SAvAGERy AND civilizATiON iN ThE AGE OF iNDuSTRy

Daniel Bender – comparative literature, history, uTSc humanities

Cornell University Press

At the beginning of the twentieth century, industrialization both dramatically altered everyday experiences and shaped debates about the effects of immigration, empire, and urbanization. In American Abyss, Daniel E. Bender examines an array of sources – eugenics theories, scientific studies of climate, socialist theory, and even popular novels about cavemen – to show how intellectuals and activists came to understand industrialization in racial and gendered terms as the product of evolution and as the highest expression of civilization. Their discussions, he notes, are echoed today by the use of such terms as the “developed” and “developing” worlds.

AuF NAch hEllAS! ROMAN

heinz wetzel – Germanic languages and literatures

Perigeo Verlag, Hameln, Germany

A German novel about the participation of young German volunteers in the Greek war of independence, their ideals, and their disappointment when they face the cruelties of war. Fifty years later, the narrator, himself a former volunteer, recognizes that the contact with those in even greater distress and the fact that a few volunteers had held on to their ideals, helped to strengthen freedom and humanitarianism in Europe. It was not the breakthrough they had hoped for at the time, but it was progress nevertheless, obvious in the sad as well as comical episodes of the book which has been carefully researched.

BETTiNG ThEiR livES

lorne Tepperman – Sociology

Oxford University Press

There are now more ways than ever to gamble—casinos, corner stores, the Internet—and as a result, there are also ever more “problem gamblers,” individuals who gamble compulsively to their own detriment. While gambling is promoted as fun and glamorous, the reality is usually very different. Studies suggest that some 1 in 50 adults, or roughly 480,000 Canadians, have a gambling problem. So it is time to take a new and careful look at how gambling affects the lives of all these people. Problem gambling has traditionally been seen as an individual issue: it’s your problem, you deal with it. But this new book, the only study of its kind, takes an innovative sociological approach, considering problem gambling as a public health issue (it has social causes and significant health outcomes). Betting Their Lives is based on first-hand interviews that take us right into the lives of a selection of problem gamblers; we see how gambling is influenced by, and in turn influences, relationships with intimate partners – husbands, wives, children. Based on important new research by Canadian sociologist Lorne Tepperman, this book looks into the personal relationships of problem gamblers, and comes out with some surprising results. It provides a discussion of expert opinion on the subject, includes first-hand narratives of those who have suffered from gambling addictions, and brings essential new explanatory concepts to the issue. While more research is required into this growing problem, Betting Their Lives introduces a new and urgently needed understanding of problem gambling.

cOGNiTiON, EvOluTiON, AND BEhAviOR (2ND EDiTiON)

Sara J. Shettleworth – Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Psychology


How do animals perceive the world, learn, remember, search for food or mates, communicate, and find their way around? Do any nonhuman animals count, imitate one another, use a language, or have a culture? What are the uses of cognition in nature and how might it have evolved? What is the current status of Darwin’s claim that other species share the same “mental powers” as humans, but to different degrees? In this completely revised second edition of Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior, Sara Shettleworth addresses these questions, among others, by integrating findings from psychology, behavioral ecology, and ethology in a unique and wide-ranging synthesis of theory and research on animal cognition, in the broadest sense—from species-specific adaptations of vision in fish and associative learning in rats to discussions of theory of mind in chimpanzees, dogs, and ravens. She reviews the latest research on topics such as episodic memory, metacognition, and cooperation and other-regarding behavior in animals, as well as recent theories about what makes human cognition unique.

This book addresses the place of women writers in anthologies and biographical collections in eighteenth-century England. It explores and contextualizes ways in which two different kinds of printed material complemented one another in defining expectations about the woman writer, and suggests ways in which those expectations have influenced the reputations of early women writers who have been recuperated in literary studies today.

DARwiN AND ThE MEMORy OF ThE huMAN

cannon Schmitt – English


When the young Charles Darwin landed on the shores of Tierra del Fuego in 1832, he was overwhelmed: nothing had prepared him for the sight of what he called ‘an untamed savage’. The shock he felt, repeatedly recalled in later years, definitively shaped his theory of evolution. In this original and wide-ranging study, Cannon Schmitt shows how Darwin and other Victorian naturalists transformed such encounters with South America and its indigenous peoples into influential accounts of biological and historical change. Redefining what it means to be human, they argue that the modern self must be understood in relation to a variety of pasts—personal, historical, and ancestral—conceived of as savage. Schmitt reshapes our understanding of Victorian imperialism, revisits the implications of Darwinian theory, and demonstrates the pertinence of nineteenth-century biological thought to current theorizations of memory.

DARwiNiAN SOciOculTuRAl EvOluTiON: SOluTiONS TO DilEMMAS iN culTuRAl AND SOciAl ThEORy

Marion Blute – Sociology, uTM Sociology


Darwinian sociocultural evolutionary theory applies the logic of Darwinism to social learning-based cultural and social change. Drawing on sophisticated aspects of biological evolutionary theory, this book brings together a broad and inclusive theoretical framework for understanding in the social sciences which addresses many of the dilemmas at their forefront. These include the relationship between history and necessity, conflict and cooperation, the ideal and the material and the problems of agency, subjectivity and social structure.

While most of these refugees moved through the city to other Canadian and American destinations, 1,124 died in Toronto, and 2,000 elected to remain in Ontario’s future capital.

DEviANcE, cRiME AND cONTROl



Deviance, Crime, and Control: Beyond the Straight and Narrow, second edition, assumes that deviance is normal behaviour and conformity is socially constructed. The ‘discovery’ of deviant behaviour indicates society’s degree of cohesion, tolerance, and control over individuals. The benchmarks for what constitutes ‘deviance’ are in a constant state of change. This book studies contemporary notions and forms of deviance and control against the backdrop of history. In addition, the author takes a multi-paradigm approach and discusses deviance and conformity from functionalist, conflict, social constructionist/symbolic interactionist, feminist, and postmodern perspectives. Using health and well-being as a measure of tight social control, this text focuses on the outcomes of deviance. Emphasizing the need to find new solutions to social problems, Deviance, Crime, and Control provides students with a fresh perspective. The book is a

core text for one semester of Social Control, Deviance and Control, and the Sociology of Deviance and Conformity courses offered at the second- and third-year undergraduate level in university and college sociology and criminology departments.

DOES NORTh AMERicA EXiST? GOvERNiNG ThE cONTiNENT AFTER NAFTA AND 9/11

Stephen clarkson – Political Science

University of Toronto Press

In the 1980s, both Canadian nationalists and continentalists argued that free trade would radically accelerate the integration of North America. In the mid-1990s, many academics hailed NAFTA as the first, belated step towards the United States, Canada, and Mexico adopting the European model of regionalization. But analysis of the continent’s various economic sectors suggests that North America has missed the chance to emerge as a significant economic region on the world stage. And whatever chances NAFTA might have had to kick-start a new world region have been scuppered by the United States’ anti-terrorist border-security obsessions, by Mexico’s narcotics-driven collapse as a viable


state, and by Canada’s effort to dissociate itself from the trilateralism it once trumpeted.

FORcE AND FREEDOM: kANT’S lEGAl AND POliTicAl PhilOSOPhy

Arthur Ripstein – Philosophy

Harvard University Press

In this masterful work, both an illumination of Kant’s thought and an important contribution to contemporary legal and political theory, Arthur Ripstein gives a comprehensive yet accessible account of Kant’s political philosophy. Ripstein shows that Kant’s thought is organized around two central claims: first, that legal institutions are not simply responses to

human limitations or circumstances; indeed the requirements of justice can be articulated without recourse to views about human inclinations and vulnerabilities. Second, Kant argues for a distinctive moral principle, which restricts the legitimate use of force to the creation of a system of equal freedom. Ripstein’s description of the unity and philosophical plausibility of this dimension of Kant’s thought will be a revelation to political and legal scholars. In addition to providing a clear and coherent statement of the most misunderstood of Kant’s ideas, Ripstein also shows that Kant’s views remain conceptually powerful and morally appealing today. Ripstein defends the idea of equal freedom by examining several substantive areas of law—private rights, constitutional law, police powers, and punishment—and by demonstrating the compelling advantages of the Kantian framework over competing approaches.

GEOMETRic MEchANicS AND SyMMETRy

Tanya irene Schmah – computer Science, Darryl D. holm, cristina Stoica


Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry is an introduction to the geometric approach to classical mechanics, in both finite and infinite dimensions. After summarizing elements of mechanics on manifolds and Lie group actions, the main body of the text considers how symmetry reduction of Hamilton’s principle allows one to derive and analyze the Euler-Poincare equations for dynamics on Lie groups. Additional topics deal with rigid and pseudo-rigid bodies, shallow water waves, computational anatomy and geophysical fluid dynamics.

Springer-Verlag

This monograph gives an overview of various classes of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and their applications in Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid dynamics, integrable systems, gauge theory, and complex geometry. While infinite-dimensional groups often exhibit very peculiar features, this book describes unifying geometric ideas of the theory and gives numerous illustrations and examples, ranging from the classification of the Virasoro coadjoint orbits to knot


theory, from optimal mass transport to moduli spaces of flat connections on surfaces. The text includes many exercises and open questions, and it is accessible to both students and researchers in Lie theory, geometry, and Hamiltonian systems.

In recent years, especially since the end of the cold war, the field of global health has become increasingly linked with and central to the more traditional concerns of international relations. The spread of communicable diseases, the challenge of migrating health workers and the development of new technologies and medicines have all contributed to the ever-expanding issue of global health. International organizations such as the World Health Organization, the utilization of techniques such as the creation of the framework convention on tobacco control and the development of civil society organizations such as the Gates Foundation, have all changed the face and framework of global health. Among the many benefits to the expanding interdisciplinary study of health is the possibility of preventing millions of unnecessary deaths occurring every year. By assembling from a wide array of disciplines and fields the central works that define the field in international relations today, this innovative work explores the future of global health and the possible benefits of expanding the interdisciplinary path even further.

In this edited volume, nine contributors examine political, religious and cultural expressions of Irish Canadian nationalism as it responded to Irish events and Canadian politics. They also look at tensions within the movement between those who argued that Ireland should share the same freedom that Canada enjoyed within the British Empire, and those who wanted to liberate both Ireland and Canada from the yoke of British imperialism.

The rare book titles in this catalogue reveal the broad subject coverage of the Mu collection which includes the Classics, the Histories, the Philosophers of the 4th and 3rd Centuries B.C. and Belles-Lettres. The oldest volume was printed in 1126, but most of the books are editions printed during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

lEcTuRES ON TOPOlOGicAl FluiD MEchANicS

Boris khesin – Mathematics, M. Berger, k. Moffatt, l. kauffman, R. Ricca, D.w. Sumners

Springer-Verlag

Helmholtz’s seminal paper on vortex motion (1858) marks the beginning of what is now called topological fluid mechanics.After 150 years of work, the field has grown considerably. In the last several decades unexpected developments have given topological fluid mechanics new impetus, benefiting from the impressive progress in knot theory and geometric topology on the one hand, and in mathematical and computational fluid dynamics on the other. This volume contains a wide-ranging collection of up-to-date, valuable research papers written by some of the most eminent experts in the field. Topics range from fundamental aspects of mathematical fluid mechanics, including topological vortex dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, integrability issues, Hamiltonian structures and singularity formation, to DNA tangles and knotted DNAs in sedimentation.

MAkiNG GlOBAl EcONOMic GOvERNANcE EFFEcTivE

Edited by John James kirton – Political Science, G8/G20 Research Group, Marina larionova, Paolo Savona


Today’s world is crowded with international laws and institutions that govern the global economy. This post-World War II accumulation of hard multilateral and soft plurilateral institutions by no means constitutes a comprehensive, coherent and effective system of global economic governance. As intensifying globalization thrusts many longstanding domestic issues onto the international stage, there is a growing

need to create at the global level the more comprehensive, coherent and effective governance system that citizens have long taken for granted at home. This book offers the first comprehensive look at this critical question of international relations. It examines how, and how well, the multilateral organizations and the G8 are dealing with the central challenges facing the contemporary international community, how they have worked well and poorly together, and how they can work together more effectively to provide badly needed public goods. It is an ideal reference guide for anyone interested in institutions of global governance.

MARcO POlO AND ThE ENcOuNTER OF EAST AND wEST

Edited by Suzanne conklin Akbari – English, centre for Medieval Studies, Amilcare A. iannucci


Few figures from history evoke such vivid Orientalist associations as Marco Polo, the Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer whose accounts of the ‘Far East’ sparked literary and cultural imaginations. This collection lays the groundwork for new histories of world literature written from the perspective of cultural, economic, and linguistic exchange, rather than conquest and conflict.

MARRiAGE AS POliTicAl STRATEGy AND culTuRAl EXPRESSiON

George Qingzhi zhao – East Asian library

Peter Lang Publishing

Marriage as Political Strategy and Cultural Expression is the first comprehensive study of Mongolian royal marriages from World Empire (1206-1279) to the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) in Asia. This study examines the Mongolian royal family’s marriage strategies and the political implications of these royal marriages, specifically, the intermarriages between the Mongolian royal house and its allies, including the Onggirat, the Oirat, and other Mongol peoples as well as the Uighur State and Korea in Central and East Asia. This book concludes that the short lifespans of Mongol royalty after Khubilai Khan were the result of consanguineous marriage and inbreeding – genetic factors that contributed to the collapse of the Mongol dynasty.


MARy wOllSTONEcRAFT’S A VindicAtion of the Rights of WomAn: A NORTON cRiTicAl EDiTiON

Edited by Deidre Shauna lynch – English

W. W. Norton (New York)

This is a new, fully annotated and contextualized edition of one the most original books of the Enlightenment, Mary Wollstonecraft’s pioneering feminist work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. A section on ‘Backgrounds and Context’ contains twenty-four works, spanning a period from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries that are organized thematically into four sections: ‘Legacies of English Radicalism’, ‘Education’, ‘Wollstonecraft’s Revolutionary Moment’, and ‘The Wollstonecraft Debate’. These writings, by John Milton, John Locke, Mary Astell, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Hannah More, and Edmund Burke, among others, bring to view the intellectual world that nurtured Wollstonecraft’s political vision, the constructions of proper womanhood that she had to negotiate, and the controversy that her manifesto for a ‘revolution in female manners’ ignited.

University of Minnesota Press

The first book to study Portuguese texts about Africa, Moorings brings an important but little-known body of European writings to bear on contemporary colonial thought. Images of Africa as monstrous, dangerous, lush, and in need of taming were created in early Portuguese imperial writings and dominated its representation in European literature for centuries. The book also explores conceptions of the Moor in medieval Iberia and the construction of a full colonial imaginary.

Raymond Breton – Sociology, karen Dion – Psychology, ken Dion – Psychology, Jeffrey Reitz – Sociology, Munk School of Global Affairs, centre for Ethnic, immigration, and Pluralism Studies

Springer

Multiculturalism is rooted in a theory of human behaviour, and this book examines the empirical validity of some of its basic propositions, focusing on Canada as the country for which the most enthusiastic claims for multiculturalism have been made. The analysis draws on the massive national Ethnic Diversity Survey of over 41,000 Canadians in 2002, the most extensive survey yet conducted on this question: Does multiculturalism ‘work’?

Advocates praise

multiculturalism for encouraging the social integration of minorities, while opponents charge that it promotes their isolation. The analysis draws on the massive national Ethnic Diversity Survey of over 41,000 Canadians in 2002, and provides a new and more nuanced understanding of the complex relation between multiculturalism and social cohesion, challenging uncritically optimistic or pessimistic views.

Political scientists have sought in recent years to make the discipline more hospitable to qualitative methods of research. Lauding the results of this effort and highlighting its potential for the future, Political Ethnography makes a compelling case for one such method in particular. Ethnography, the contributors amply demonstrate in a wide range of original essays, is uniquely suited for illuminating the study of politics.

ShOck, MEMORy AND ThE uNcONSciOuS iN vicTORiAN FicTiON

Jill Matus – English


Central to Victorian thinking about consciousness and emotion, shock is a concept that challenged earlier ideas about the relationship between mind and body. Although the

new materialist psychology of the mid nineteenth century made possible the very concept of a wound to the psyche, it was Victorian fiction with its complex explorations of the inner life of the individual and accounts of upheavals in personal identity that most fully articulated the idea of the haunted and traumatized subject. Shock, Memory and the Unconscious in Victorian Fiction reshapes our understanding of Victorian theories of mind and memory and reveals the relevance of nineteenth-century culture to contemporary theories of trauma.

While the government guaranteed all South Koreans a minimum standard of living, it prioritized assisting citizens embodying the neoliberal ideals of employability, flexibility, and self-sufficiency. In the process drawing distinctions between the ‘deserving’ and the ‘undeserving’ poor, not only the government but also progressive intellectuals and activists participated in the neoliberal reform project.

In a feature unique to Italy, the people who prepared a condemned man or woman spiritually and psychologically for execution were not priests or friars, but laymen. This volume includes some of the songs, stories, poems, and images that they used; first-person accounts and ballads describing particular executions; and articles explaining particular aspects of the theater, psychology, and politics of execution.

ThE cAMBRiDGE cOMPANiON TO lAuRENcE STERNE

Edited by Thomas keymer – English


Best known today for the innovative satire and experimental narrative of Tristram Shandy, Laurence Sterne was no less famous in his time for A Sentimental Journey (1768) and for his controversial sermons. Sterne spent much of his life as an obscure clergyman in rural Yorkshire. But he brilliantly exploited the sensation achieved with the first instalment of Tristram Shandy to become, by his death in 1768, a fashionable celebrity across Europe. In this Companion, specially commissioned essays by leading scholars provide an authoritative and accessible guide to Sterne’s writings in their historical and cultural context. Exploring key issues in his work, including sentimentalism, national identity, gender, print culture and visual culture, as well as his subsequent influence on a range of important literary movements and modes, the book offers a comprehensive new account of Sterne’s life and work.

It provides empirical evidence from diverse phonological domains that only contrastive features are computed by the grammar. Dresher argues that

these features are governed by language-particular feature hierarchies, and that these abstract cognitive structures are indispensable to illuminating accounts of phonological patterning.

ThE OXFORD hANDBOOk OF ThE ElEGy

Edited by karen weisman – English, centre for Jewish Studies


Mourning and memorialization are at the very centre of literary culture. They take on forms deeply resonant of the sundry traditions of poetic elegy even when those elegiac conventions are displaced, concealed, or plainly unintentional. For all of its pervasiveness, however, the “elegy” remains remarkably ill-defined: sometimes used as a catch-all to denominate texts of a somber or pessimistic tone, sometimes as a marker for textual monumentalizing, and sometimes strictly as a sign of a lament for the dead. This handbook is the single most comprehensive study of its subject. It provides both a historical survey and a thematic engagement with the relevant issues in elegy. It is responsive to a pressing need for clarification of the relevant issues, and to the exciting developments currently underway in elegy studies. Such a volume is especially timely, since in recent years there has been a veritable explosion in interest in elegies about AIDS, cancer, and war; various reconsiderations of the role of women in the history of elegiac writing; and readings of elegy in relation to ethics, philosophy and theory, and political structure. With 38 chapters by leading specialists, ranging from Gregory Nagy’s reconsideration of Ancient Greek elegy through Stuart Curran’s novel engagement with Romantic elegiac hybridity, and on to Elizabeth Helsinger’s consideration of elegy and the visual arts, this Handbook offers groundbreaking scholarship and remarkable historical breadth.

ThE SENSE OF SOciABiliTy



Are human beings a species in constant need of firm, aggressive government to save us from ourselves? Or are we fundamentally sociable creatures, woven together in a complex array of networks, interdependent and willing to work together? The Sense of Sociability is a highly readable, quirky look at human sociability that explores the often narrow divide between conflict and co-operation, and when

possible, presents opportunities for integration across various social groups. Civility – even social peace – is attainable, he argues, when we are not manipulated by poor governance and malign influences. In this unique journey into our collective ‘unwashed’ past, we see that when ordinary people are left to do ordinary things, the extraordinary is possible.

TORic TOPOlOGy

Edited by yael karshon – Mathematics, uTM Mathematical and computational Sciences, Megumi harada, Mikiya Masuda, Taras Panov

American Mathematical Society

Toric topology is the study of algebraic, differential, symplectic-geometric, combinatorial, and homotopy-theoretic aspects of a particular class of torus actions whose quotients are highly structured. Many of the motivations and guiding principles of the field are provided by (though not limited to) the theories of toric varieties in algebraic geometry and symplectic toric manifolds in symplectic geometry. This volume is the proceedings of the International Conference on Toric Topology, held in Osaka, Japan, in 2006. The volume, addresses toric actions from a variety of viewpoints: algebraic, differential, symplectic-geometric, combinatorial, and homotopy-theoretic. It contains both survey articles and research articles.

Luong draws on newly available archival documents, narratives by villagers, and three field seasons from the late 1980s to 2006. In his analysis of the

implications of these data for theoretical models of agrarian transformation, the author argues that local traditions play a major role in shaping villagers’ responses to colonialism, socialist policies, and the global market economy.

uNA NuEvA MiRADA A lA PARODiA DE lA NOvElA SENTiMENTAl EN lA celestinA

One of the contributions of the book has been to show that parody in La Celestina is not limited to the typical elements of courtly love, but instead goes farther by parodying the sentimental romance. In addition, the author demonstrates that the parody of courtly love in La Celestina is global and not partial, since it is given from the beginning until the end of the work and it reaches all the levels of the text: development of the event, characters and rhetorical resources. She also argues that Rojas’ intentions in writing a parody were to innovate, to entertain and to make literary criticism of an established genre. Finally, the author shows that part of the literary originality in La Celestina is also due to be the first text in parodying in a conscious way the literature of courtly love. The sentimental romance served Rojas as a valuable instrument of artistic experimentation, and his parody surpassed the genre and transformed it into something that is very different and unique.

Urbanization, Migration, and Poverty in a Vietnamese Metropolis presents the results of a major inter-disciplinary research project that gathered data on more than one thousand households in Ho Chi Minh City, and on migration flows at the urban destination and in four sending communities in different regions of Vietnam. The study shows that migration and urbanization in Ho Chi Minh City have been shaped by both urban-rural inequality and by regionally diverse socio-cultural dynamics.

vicTORiAN iNvESTMENTS

Edited by cannon Schmitt – English, Nancy henry

Indiana University Press

Victorian Investments explores the relationship between the financial system in Great Britain and other aspects of Victorian society and culture. Building on the special journal issue of Victorian Studies devoted to Victorian investments, this volume is the first to define an interdisciplinary field of study emerging in the space between Marxist critiques of capitalism and traditional histories of business and economics. The contributors demonstrate how phenomena such as the expansion of colonial and foreign markets, the broadening of the investor base through the advent of limited liability, and the rise of financial journalism gave rise to a ‘culture of investment’ that affected Victorian Britons at every level of society and influenced every kind of cultural production. Drawing together work by prominent historians as well as literary and cultural critics, Victorian Investments both defines the methodologies and perspectives that characterize an existing body of scholarship and pushes that scholarship in new directions, demonstrating the signal role of economic developments in Victorian culture and society.

A close examination of pictorial and verbal portraits of Tzara, by both himself and the other principal writers and artists of the Paris dada avant garde in the early 1920s (including Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, and Hans Arp) as filtered through their intellectual preoccupations and political situations (cabbalism, Tao, African song, spirit photography and the rhetorics of nationalist antisemitism) yields a peculiar portrait of Paris dada, and of Tristan Tzara’s ethical and historical role within it.

This study examines how 40 heterosexual couples handle the challenges they face when they become parents. Based on interviews with both the women and the men in these first-time parents, it explores the gender differences, divisions and inequalities that develop – or are contested – in the process. In so doing, it pays attention to the impact of differences in material and social resources, the costs of privatized responsibility for children and the development of some interesting dynamics between the women and men in the couples.

wilTiNG lAuGhTER: ThREE TAMil POETS

Edited by chelva kanaganayakam – English

TSAR Publications

This collection brings together 75 poems by three internationally known Tamil poets, whose works, over the last three decades, have dealt with issues ranging from ethnicity and nationalism, to religion and diaspora. Together they have shaped the Tamil literary tradition, urging the reader to look at the past and present in new and important ways. All three poets have confronted the reality of Sri Lankan violence, displacement, and struggle in different ways, but reading them together reveals both connections and differences.

Their

works stand at the forefront of modern Tamil poetry. The poems were chosen and translated by the editor.

This anthology provides fresh theorization of gendered dimensions of learning, war, and violence, with a view to offering new insights on the impact of violence on women’s learning. The collection is an important contribution to emerging interdisciplinary approaches to the role and effectiveness of civil society, especially women’s NGOs, working in war and post-conflict zones, and to the relationship between neoliberal, global ‘feminist’ projects and the re-emergence of colonial and imperial feminisms.

wRiTiNG TRAvEl: ThE POETicS AND POliTicS OF ThE MODERN JOuRNEy

Edited by John zilcosky – Germanic languages & literatures, centre for comparative literature, centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies


An engaging collection of essays by first-rate scholars, Writing Travel is an illuminating exploration of the history of travel writing, its influence on other literary genres, and the origins of narrative.

Interest in travel writing has grown rapidly

within the disciplines of postcolonial and cultural studies; however, recent scholarship has failed to place travel writing


within the larger literary tradition. Writing Travel assembles a superb collection of essays that demonstrate how travel attempts to reconfigure the world and, in so doing, to become a metaphor for imagination, subjectivity, and representation itself. Examining a broad range of texts and travellers from across the world, the contributors discuss canonical authors such as Homer, Goethe, and Baudelaire, alongside lesser known writers such as Theodor Herzl, Hans Erich Nossack, and William Gibson. This theoretically rich volume draws connections between travel and narrative, and provides powerful insights into the relationship between travel and the spoken act of storytelling, as well as the more ambivalent act of story writing.
