Dear Reader,

Much has happened since we published our last catalogue. We have diversified with the acquisition of Duckworth Academic and Bristol Classical Press. We now have a marvellous backlist of 900 titles and a new programme of 40 titles a year in classics, ancient history, archaeology and philosophy. A separate catalogue for these titles is available in print upon request or online at www.bloomsburyacademic.com.

Recent months have seen the announcement of drastic cuts to university funding in the humanities and social sciences in the UK. We share academic concern over these developments and they confirm our resolution to seek innovative ways of enhancing access to important research. Many of our research publications are on Creative Commons licences; additional functionality and further e-content are available at attractive prices and we will be introducing special discounts for print books wherever we can.

Our publishing programme also reflects our concern over the future of the humanities and social sciences. In January we published The Public Value of the Humanities edited by Jonathan Bate (see page 3).

This is being closely followed by A Manifesto for the Public University edited by John Holmwood and For the University by Thomas Docherty (both on page 2).

We have several titles dealing with topical global issues and we are particularly delighted to be publishing How Creativity is Changing China (see page 18) by the distinguished academic and policy maker Li Wuwei and a timely new series, edited by John Horne, Globalizing Sports Studies (see pages 11–12).

Please look at our new digital platform, where you can see the full range of our publishing, read titles available on Creative Commons licenses and examine a sample chapter of our textbooks. We are also beginning to offer additional resources to complement our books. We always welcome suggestions for further enhancements from our readers.

Best regards,

Dr Frances PinterPublisher

For the University is a book both about and for the university in an age of mass and globalized education. Thomas Docherty analyzes the current problems facing the university as an institution, offering positive arguments for a revived and vibrant set of institutional arrangements and governing principles. This book considers the place of the university as an important global institution, now in a charged political and international public sphere. Docherty places current debates

within their wider political and economic context, focusing on the relationship of the university to current and emerging models of democracy. The question of what the university will be – rather than it is, was, or might be – is at the heart of this book, and Docherty ably traces its history and present condition in order to offer us a vision for the future.

Contents Preface | Introduction: for the University | First Principles: The University

The Browne report advocates, in effect, the privatization of higher education in England. With the proposed removal of the current cap on student fees and the removal of state funding from undergraduate degree programmes, universities are set for a period of major reorganization not seen since the higher education reforms of the 1960s. This book responds to the key debates that the Browne review and Government statements have sparked, with essays on the cultural significance of the

university, the role of the government in funding research, inequality in higher education, the role of quangos in public life and the place of social science research. It is a timely and considered exploration of the role of universities and a reminder of what we should value and protect in our higher education system.

The WISH List Warwick Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities

Series editors: Jonathan Bate, Stella Bruzzi, Thomas Docherty and Margot Finn, University of Warwick, UK

In the twenty-first century, the traditional disciplinary boundaries of higher education are dissolving at remarkable speed. The last decade has seen the flourishing of scores of new interdisciplinary research centres at universities around the world and there has also been a move towards more interdisciplinary teaching.

The WISH List is a collaboration between Bloomsbury Academic and the University of Warwick, a university that has been, from its foundation, at the forefront of interdisciplinary innovation in academia. The series aims to establish a framework for innovative forms of interdisciplinary publishing within the humanities, between the humanities and social sciences and even between the humanities and the hard sciences.

We welcome the submission of new proposals for this series. Please contact the commissioning editor: [email protected]

Why should governments invest public money funding research into Ancient Greek tragedy or philosophical conundrums? Does such research deliver ‘value for money’ and ‘public benefit’? In this book a group of distinguished humanities researchers reflect on the public value of their discipline, using particular research projects as case-studies.

This book explores what is at stake in our confessional culture. Thomas Docherty examines confessional writings, arguing that through all this work runs a philosophical substratum – the conditions under which it is possible to assert a confessional mode – that needs exploration.

In a postmodern ‘transparent society’, the self coincides with its self-representations. Such a position is central to the idea of authenticity and truth-telling in confessional writing: it is the basis of saying, truthfully, ‘Here I take my stand’. What

other consequences might there be of an assumption of the primacy of transparency? Two areas are examined in detail: the religious and the judicial. Docherty shows that despite the tendency to regard transparency as a general good, our contemporary culture of transparency has engendered a society in which autonomy (or the very authority of the subject that proclaims ‘I confess’) is grounded in guilt, reparation and victimhood.

This new book presents a series of linked essays exploring Eliot’s credentials as a radical thinker. Opening with her relationship to the Romantic tradition, Newton goes on to discuss her reading of Darwinism, her radical critique of Victorian values and her affiliation with the modernists. The final essays discuss her work in relation to Derridean themes and to Bernard Williams’ concept of moral luck. What emerges is a very different Eliot from the conservative figure portrayed in much critical literature.

Alternative media have historically been a central force in social change. In this new book, Kenix argues, that they do not subvert the hierarchies of access that have always been fundamental to mainstream media. In fact, their journalistic norms and routines have always drawn on the professional standards of the mainstream. Through comparative analysis Kenix posits the perception of ‘mainstream’ and ‘alternative’ as a misconception, arguing that they’ve always existed on the same continuum and continue

to converge. Her vision recalibrates the media spectrum.

This book examines alternative media while being cognizant that they are not situated completely outside the ideological mainstream, carrying distinctive identities excluded from entrenched, elite systems of power. The alternative media can – and do – construct distinct ‘alternative communications’ but they do so along a strikingly different continuum than hitherto envisaged.

User-generated content and user-led innovation have become significant cultural and economic phenomenons. Media consumers have become media producers. This book offers a rich description and analysis of the emerging participatory, co-creative relationships within the videogames industry. Banks discusses the challenges of incorporating these co-creative relationships into the development process. Drawing on a decade of research within the industry, the book gives us a unique insight

into the continually changing and growing world of videogames.

This book delves into the changes in technology regarding higher education and seeks to define what it means to be a scholar in the digital age.

While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of

scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book explores these changes and their implications for higher education.

the cultural production of the visual iconography of popular pleasure grounds from the eighteenth century pleasure garden to the contemporary theme park. Deborah Philips identifies the literary genres, including fairy tale, gothic horror, Egyptiana and the Western which are common to carnival sites, tracing their historical transition across a range of media to become familiar icons of popular culture. Though the bricolage of narratives and imagery found in the contemporary

leisure zone has been read by many as emblematic of postmodern culture, the author argues that the clash of genres and stories is less a consequence of postmodern pastiche than it is the result of a history and popular tradition of conventionalized iconography.

This book highlights the way in which contemporary forms of governance, policy and politics have been reframed by women ‘working the spaces of power’. It shows how links between activism and work have generated innovations that have since become ‘common sense’ forms of policy and practice.

Janet Newman draws on interviews with a wide variety of women in positions of power. All of their work has been informed by a range of social movements and activist commitments. Newman

uses these interviews to interrogate, develop and challenge existing approaches to understanding social and political change.

In Japanese Women and Sport, Robin Kietlinski sets out to problematize the hegemonic image of the delicate Japanese woman. Kietlinski locates the discussion of Japanese women in sport within a larger East Asian context and considers the socio-economic position and history of modern Japan. Reaching from the early 20th century to the present day, Kietlinski traces the progression of Japanese women’s participation in sport from the first female school for

physical education and the foundations of competitive sport through to their growing presence in the Olympics and international sport.

This is a fascinating book on a previously overlooked area in the history of modern Japan.

Contents Introduction: Why Women’s Sport? Why Japan? | Japanese Sportswomen in Context | The Road to Participation in Competitive Sport | From Calisthenics to Competition: Early Participation in International Sport | From Antipathy to Applause: The Emergence

How has globalization impacted on sports media? What are the economic ramifications? And what is the future of sports media?

This book investigates the constituents, dimensions and implications of the flows of media sport from the Global West to the Global East and in the reverse direction. At an historical moment when the relative stability of the Western media sport order is under challenge, it analyzes a range of key structures, practices and issues whose

ramifications extend far beyond the fields of play and the national contexts in which sport events take place.

It is a really exciting book for all those interested in this emerging field.

What role does sports medicine play in today’s society? Is it solely about treating sports injuries? Should it only be concerned with elite sport?

This book provides a history of the relationship between sport, medicine and health from the mid-19th century to today. It combines the sub-disciplines of the history of medicine and the history of sport to give a balanced analysis of the role of medicine in sport and how this has evolved over the past two centuries.

In an age where sports medicine plays an increasingly prominent role in both elite and recreational sport, this book provides a timely and clear analysis of its rise and purpose.

Barbara Wootton was one of the extraordinary public figures of the twentieth century: an outstanding social scientist, an architect of the welfare state and an iconoclast who challenged conventional wisdoms. This book is an engaged account of the making of British social policy seen through the lens of the life of a pivotal figure.

Why are more young law breakers imprisoned in Russia and the UK than in any other European country? This book explores the treatment of young offenders in these two very different states and the political and institutional context of their distinctively punitive approach.

The Precariat is a new class, comprising the growing number of people facing lives of insecurity, doing work without a past or future. Their lack of belonging and identity means inadequate access to social and economic rights. Why is this new class growing, what political dangers does it represent and how might these be addressed?

This is a political and intellectual biography of an important and controversial figure in British race politics. Darcus Howe, recently a high-profile television journalist, has a long history as a grass-roots activist. On arrival in Britain in the early 70s he joined the British Black Panthers. Here he attracted the attention of Special Branch. Over the next decade he was involved in high profile campaigns that led to a seismic shift in British attitudes. The book uses Howe’s life as a lens through

which to explore the British civil rights movement in the 1970s and ‘80s. Howe has a unique intellectual position forged through personal experience and his interaction with leading black thinkers.

Prospects for CitizenshipGerry Stoker, Chris Armstrong, Anthony McGrew, Andrew Mason, David Owen, Graham Smith, Momoh Banya, Derek McGhee and Clare Saunders

This text offers an empirically informed theoretical overview of the prospects for citizenship in the light of its current political context. The authorial team comprises leading names from across the field, offering a cutting edge analysis of the problems and pressures of citizenship in the twenty-first century.

How can governments persuade citizens to act in socially beneficial ways? This successor to Thaler and Sunstein’s cult book Nudge argues that an alternative approach needs to be considered – a ‘think’ strategy, in which citizens deliberate their own priorities as part of a process of civic renewal.

This book considers the significance of the creative industries on China’s economy and society.

The question Professor Wuwei investigates is not ‘whether’ creativity is changing China – but ‘how’ creativity is changing China. The outcome will have a profound impact on how China develops and its economic role in the world.

Creative industries maintain and protect historical and cultural heritage, improve

cultural capital, and foster communities as well as individual creativity. This leads to the improvement of cultural assets of cities, the establishment of city brands and identity, the promotion of the creative economy, and overall economic and social development. In this context, creativity is changing China forever.

In an age of growing globalization and welfare states, community relations are now more important than ever. What are Community Studies? gives an overview of the community studies field, with particular focus on the research methods used, and how they have evolved in recent years. Defining the key terms in the field, it outlines the history of the methods used in community studies and uses examples and case studies to illuminate the theory.

This book captures the organization of modern community life and

shows how current researchers are working with broader and more imaginative definitions of community. Responding to criticisms of the discipline, What are Community Studies? challenges our traditional notions of community and how they are analyzed. Graham Crow’s What are Community Studies? is a vital resource for researchers in the field.

has been described as the bloodiest in human history, but it was also the century in which people around the world embraced ideas of democracy and human rights as never before. They constructed social, political and legal institutions seeking to contain human behaviour, ensuring that by the turn of the twenty-first century more countries were democratic than non-democratic and the protection of human rights had been extended far beyond the expectations of

the creators of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Todd Landman offers an optimistic, yet cautionary tale of these developments, drawing on the literature from politics, international relations and international law. He celebrates the global turn from tyranny and violence towards democracy and rights but he also warns of the precariousness of these achievements.

Fully revised and updated, the new edition of Inventing the Nation: Germany explains the diverse ways in which national identity has been constructed over more than three centuries and with eight different territorial states all claiming to be German. It highlights the plurality of contested definitions of ‘Germanness’. The themes covered include the struggles between democratic and non-democratic inventions of the nation, the construction of the racial nation under Nazism, economic definitions of the

nation and the impact of war on the construction of German national identity.

Not only does the book use history and historiography, but also literature, art and a range of other disciplines to provide answers to the question which has haunted Germans ever since it was first asked by Ernst Moritz Arndt: ‘What is a German’s fatherland?’

Inventing the Nation SeriesSeries Editor: Keith Robbins, University of Wales, UK

‘Nationalist’ writers and politicians have been apt to take the ‘nation’ as a ‘given’ entity, perhaps, indeed, a providential one. But the histories in this series explore the extent to which ‘nations’ are made, not born, whether through conscious manipulation by an elite, guided by more ‘popular’ imperatives, or a combination of the two. Each volume in the series explains how and when the modern nation state of its title came about, and at the same time demonstrates that the process was complex, contingent... anything but pre-ordained.

Titles in the series include: • Germany• India and Pakistan• Russia• Italy• China• Ireland• France

The Fall of the Western Roman EmpireAn Archaelogical and Historical PerspectiveNeil Christie

The World Since 1945An International HistoryP. M. H. Bell

This book offers a fresh assessment of the Western Roman Empire’s ostensible decline. Neil Christie presents a compelling argument that the Roman Empire did not dissolve; rather it was simply transformed in the West and persistent in the East. Emphasizing the interplay of history with archaeology in this period, this book is a vital student text.

The World Since 1945 is a succinct explanation of international history between the period of the Second World War and the Cold War. Bell provides students with an accessibly structured response to the problem of interpretation, discussing key concepts in relation to how they have helped shape contemporary interpretations of the period.

Britain and Europe 1500–1780 explores the history of Britain, emphasizing political relations and important connections between its three kingdoms and the continental powers. Houlbrooke analyzes political and religious events, locating them in the broader picture of the society, economics and culture of the time.

State and Society is one of the most respected and widely read introductions to the social and political history of modern Britain. Now in its third edition, the book’s analysis has moved beyond the downfall of Margaret Thatcher, guiding readers up to the point of Labour’s watershed victory in the 1997 election.

Reading History

Rethinking the Weimar RepublicAuthority and Authoritarianism 1916–1936Anthony McElligott

The Ebbing of European AscendancyAn International History of the World 1914–1945Sally Marks

Anthony McElligott’s new study challenges conventional approaches to the history of the Weimar Republic. Taking as its premise that neither 1918 nor 1933 constituted distinctive breaks in early twentieth-century German history, Rethinking the Weimar Republic stretches the chronological-political parameters of the republic from 1916 to 1936.

In the space of little over thirty years, the world was transformed. Europe’s great powers were no longer ascendant and the US became a ‘superpower’. This book assesses what happened during that time. Stressing the role of empire and the non-Western world, it offers a truly international picture of the period.

Reading and Studying Literature SeriesAn exciting collaboration between Bloomsbury and The Open University, this series is a three volume introduction to literary study. It covers literary history from William Shakespeare to W. G. Sebald in a style at once accessible and lively. The books explore the uses we make in the present of the literature of the past. Each book examines a stimulating mix of texts, both canonical and non-canonical, fictional and non-fictional, from writers working across a variety of genres. Readings that may be more difficult to obtain are included in the text. Each literary period is discussed in terms of an overarching theme, and an important theoretical concept is introduced in each part, providing a clear focus for discussion and for further study. Taken together, the three texts provide a comprehensive and engaging introduction to literary study, yet each may also be used separately for students taking more focused courses.

The series:• Offers a comprehensive introduction to literary study • Examines literary movements within their historical context• Discusses a huge range of texts• Combines close textual reading with broad context• Introduces important theoretical concepts, which are

carefully woven into the discussion of each literary period• Is designed to stimulate discussion and encourage

further exploration

This opening volume introduces the Renaissance through an exploration of love and death in tragic drama; and the long eighteenth century through the lens of travel writing, using both fictional and non-fictional narratives. Running through the volume is a discussion of the twin theoretical concepts of ‘text’ and ‘context’. The Renaissance chapters provide extensive practice in close textual analysis while also considering performance aspects of the featured plays. The eighteenth century chapters explore how the meaning of texts is affected by their relationship to context.

European romanticism is approached through a consideration of the evolution of the idea of the romantic author and the romantic inner life, while Victorian culture is explored through a reading of ideas of ‘home’ and ‘abroad’. The theoretical concepts explored in this volume are ‘the author’ and ‘books and readers’. The chapters foreground ways that literary texts can and cannot be read in biographical context, explore the publication, reception and cross-media adaptation of key texts, and offer a fascinating discussion of nineteenth century reading practices.

Contents Part 1: Romantic Lives: Wordsworth: Poet in a Landscape | Shelley: A Life in Poetry | De Quincey: Journalist in the City | Hoffmann and Pushkin: Tormented and Divided Selves | Part 2: Home and Abroad in the Victorian Age, c. 1832– 1901: Wuthering Heights (1847) | Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four (1890) | Robert Louis Stevenson, ‘The Beach of Falesá’ (1892–3)

Adopting a consciously cosmopolitan approach, this book opens with an examination of depictions of the city in the literature of modernism and its aftermath, linked by theoretical discussions of the idea of ‘period’. Part two discusses migration and memory, examining the expansion of English into ‘Englishes’ and the rethinking of national traditions within a newly global sensibility. Featured texts deal with the experience of being cut off from the past and with the persistence and uses of memory. The overarching theoretical concept featured is ‘literatures’.

Contents Part 1: Twentieth Century Cities: James Joyce, Dubliners (1914) | Fritz Lang (dir.), Metropolis (1927) | New York | Part 2: Migration and Memory: Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners (1956) | Elizabeth Bishop | Brian Friel, Dancing at Lughnasa (1990) | W.G. Sebald, The Emigrants (1993)

Renaissance DramaAndrew McRaeSeries Editor: Steven Matthews

ModernismSteven MatthewsSeries Editor: Steven Matthews

How did dramatists engage with the unprecedented levels of socio-cultural and intellectual change in Renaissance England, when ideas of identity, sexuality, social order, religion and state power were in flux? The book provides a contextual introduction to the work of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson, Dekker, Webster, Middleton and Ford.

The early twentieth century saw modernist writers challenge literary conventions to express their perspectives on a dynamic but unsettling world. This book provides a lucid overview of the period, mapping the literary alongside historical and social issues, and offering informed readings of works by Woolf, Eliot, Lawrence, Pound and Joyce amongst others.

HorrorA Thematic History in Fiction and FilmDarryl Jones

Is horror an anti-establishment force and an argument for social revolution? Is it a liberating exposé of human nature and a peek at the dark side of the unconscious? Or is it pure evil, designed to corrupt and deprave? Starting from such questions about the nature of horror, this book is an accessibly written and thematically grounded history of the genre.

Aimed at all those who are taking English degrees or teaching them, English in Practice is a reflective overview of the discipline’s core: the close reading of texts, contexts and ‘intertexts’. The book works through a series of fully developed examples rather than abstract exposition, encouraging student readers to think for themselves.

Story of SociologyA First Companion to Social Theory

Gregor McLennan

The Rise and Fall of Television JournalismJust Wires and Lights in a Box?

Steven Barnett, University of Westminster, UK

March 2011 198x129mm 192pp

PAPERBACK9781849666114 £19.99

‘In this lively and engaging companion, McLennan takes us on an absorbing journey that will provide illumination to newcomers to sociology and seasoned veterans alike.’ Rob Stones, University of Essex, UK

‘Intertwining intellectual history with social and cultural transformation, McLennan has produced a brilliant synthetic essay of theoretical importance in its own right.’ Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University, USA

‘This is an excellent short introduction to sociological theory, superbly capturing the dilemmas of sociological argument as well as its different traditions and sensibilities.’ John Holmwood, University of Nottingham, UK

Contents Why Sociology?; Sociology as Understanding Modernity; Legacies of Enlightenment; Three Founders; Three Classics; Three Other Classics; American Hegemony; Conflict, Contention, Synthesis; From the Past to the Posts; Twenty-first-century Sociology; Next Steps

This book traces the history of television journalism in Britain from its austere roots in the BBC’s post-war monopoly to the present-day plethora of 24 hour channels. It asks why a medium whose thirst for pictures, personalities and drama make it, some believe, intrinsically unsuitable for serious journalism should remain in the internet age the most influential purveyor of news.

Barnett compares the two very different trajectories of television journalism in Britain and the US, arguing that despite

a very different set of historical, regulatory and institutional practices, there is a very real danger that Britain is now heading down the same road as America. As a result, British public life will be diminished.
