Abstract:

Abstract In the current climate of concern over disinformation and the so-called ‘post-truth era,’ psychological warfare has returned to discussions of national and international politics. Yet questions concerning psychological warfare — when, where, and how it came about — are poorly understood. This monograph reveals the complexity of these questions by investigating the historical-geographical contexts in which psychological warfare emerged. Identifying the home front and the foreign theatre as its key contexts, this monograph traces psychological warfare’s trajectory from the Second World

Abstract:

This book considers how photography has shaped Russian poetry from the early twentieth century to the present day. Drawing on theories of the lyric and the elegy, the social history of technology, and little-known archival materials, the book offers close readings of poems by Boris Pasternak, Marina Tsvetaeva, Joseph Brodsky, and Bella Akhmadulina, as well as by the late and post-Soviet poets Andrei Sen-Sen'kov, Arkadii Dragomoshchenko, and Kirill Medvedev, to understand their fascination with the visual language, representational power, and metaphorical possibilities offered by the camera and

Abstract:

The Liber Pontificalis’s account of the four-day Synod of Rome in April 769 convened by Pope Stephen III is a remarkable scene of histrionic recrimination and the condemnation of Stephen’s predecessor Pope Constantine II. At a basic level, the Synod of Rome is a dramatic instance of the politics of legitimation in action. The winning faction not only created a favourable historical record for their candidate (Stephen III) by the long-recognized process of damnatio memoriae but claimed to form ‘new rules’.

This book provides a complete study of the aesthetic appeal of Corman's influential first Poe picture.

On the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695, Thomas Macaulay wrote in his History of England, ‘English literature was emancipated, and emancipated for ever, from the control of the government’.

Yet the same cannot be said of government control, which came to operate instead by means of post-publication retribution, not pre-publication licensing, notably for the common-law offence of seditious libel.

Abstract:

This chapter looks at Hegel’s impact on twentieth-century French philosophy by focusing on Kojève’s influential interpretation of Hegel, which enabled Beauvoir and Fanon to adapt Hegel’s philosophy to theorize gender and racial inequalities. Kojève took the struggle for recognition and the master/slave dialectic to be the central elements of Hegel’s thought. On this basis, Beauvoir and Fanon came to understand gender and racial oppression in terms of distortions in human relations of recognition. They argue that women (for Beauvoir) and black people (for Fanon) have been excluded from full par

The Admiralty had been confident in the Navy’s ability to prevent a French invasion prior to 1903. Thereafter, however, it quickly became apparent that Germany posed a fundamentally different challenge from the Franco-Russian threat Britain had faced in the 1890s and early 1900s. For a series of geographical, infrastructural, and military reasons, a German invasion of the British Isles came to be viewed with a great deal more apprehension at the Admiralty than had ever been generated by the years of tension with France.

It argues that the continuing salience of nationalism becomes easier to understand when we think of it as a way of doing politics. We also see how nationalism is intertwined with the post-colonial gate-keeper state to create exceptionally powerful dynamics with remarkable staying power.

These works transform our interest in ghosts into an interactive form of entertainment. Through a transmedial approach to horror, this book investigates our expectations

This book seeks to explain how the Corporation of Glasgow, in its large-scale council house-building programme in the inter- and post-war years, came to reproduce a hierarchical Victorian class structure. The three tiers of housing scheme which it constructed – Ordinary, Intermediate, and Slum-Clearance – effectively signified First, Second and Third Class. This came about because the Corporation uncritically reproduced the offensive and patriarchal attitudes of the Victorian bourgeoisie towards the working-class.

As such, it is a fascinating case study in civil–military relations in the twenty-first century.

Americans assured despairing Germans that the ‘free market’ would generate prosperity and foster social fairness.

Constitutional monarchy was the dominant type of constitutional state in Europe throughout the nineteenth century.

When the research project began in 2011, the UK health system was based on a medical model emphasising a disease-led approach to care. Challenging this model, and working with patients, families and staff, Hardie explored documentary interventions in palliative care in Strathcarron hospice in Scotland. Hardie worked with 15 families to make films in an iterative proc

Just as the automobile radically changed people's lives at the beginning of the 20th century, so too has the revolution in online services (including blogging, podcasting, videogaming, shopping, and social networking) and cell-phone use changed our lives at the turn of the 21st century. In addition, many other services, activities, and devices—including the Palm Pilot, the BlackBerry, the iPod, digital cameras, and cell cameras—have been made possible by the combination of these two technologies. Whereas the automobile allowed people for the first time to work in cities and live comfortably in

Abstract:

This chapter offers a bird’s-eye view of the 100 years of debate that followed upon Regiomontanus’s death and culminated in the Gregorian Reform of 1582, focusing in particular on the time of the Fifth Lateran Council (1512–17) and the work carried out in the 1570s by a commission of experts convened by Pope Gregory XIII, which came to favour an intricate scheme for an astronomically accurate and freely adjustable calendar. Some attention is paid to the extent to which Copernican heliocentric astronomy may have influenced, or was influenced by, the ongoing discussions surrounding the calendar

Abstract:

This chapter analyzes historiography in several Balkan countries, paying particular attention to the communist era on the one hand, and the post-1989–91 period on the other. When communists took power in Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and Yugoslavia in 1944–5, the discipline of history in these countries—with the exception of Albania—had already been institutionalized. The communists initially set about radically changing the way history was written in order to construct a more ideologically suitable past. In 1989–91, communist dictatorships came to an end in Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Al

Abstract:

This chapter discusses how Judson associated the Barbirolli years with a period of change in his managerial interests. Barbirolli remained at the Philharmonic until 1943, completing his two-year contract in 1942 as one of several guest conductors. For Barbirolli, the New York years represented an apprenticeship of sorts. The decision to hire Barbirolli came one year after Judson had resigned his management post in Philadelphia. He remained the most powerful manager in America, with connections on symphony boards across the country and a near monopoly on conductors. But his reactions to Barbiro

Abstract:

The purpose of this chapter is to reassess the role of French financial elites, especially bankers, in the second half of the twentieth century. The first part of the chapter examines the commercial banks’ strategies concentrating on the three decades following the Second Word War, characterized by an increased level of state intervention and strict regulation in financial affairs. The second part considers the post-1981 period, marked by a double policy change, when the Socialists came to power before being displaced by the Right in 1986. These upheavals had a direct impact on the financial s

Abstract:

This volume takes the narratives generated by the contemporary law of treason as it applied to Roman Catholics, during and after the Reformation of the Church in the sixteenth century, and uses them to explore the Catholic community’s writing of its own history. Prosecutions of Catholics under the existing law and via new legislation produced a great deal of documentation which tells us much about contemporary politics that we could not garner from any other source. The intention here is to locate the narratives of persecution inside the context of the ‘mainstream’ history of the period from w
