Abstract:

This chapter considers Serge Daney’s transition from a film critic schooled in New Wave cinephilia to a television critic fascinated with the possibilities of the small screen and status of cinema as an old medium. Daney challenges foundational film theory and introduces the language of belatedness, aging, and delay into his writing on the “adult art” of film. In the 1980s he chronicled the experience of watching cinema on television and engaged in a process of “archaeology” focused on absent or damaged images rather than the imaginary plenitude of the screen. Daney’s work at the threshold bet

Abstract:

On Saturday, November 14, 1944, radio listeners heard an enthusiastic broadcast announcer describe something they had never heard before: Women singing the "Marines' Hymn" instead of the traditional all-male United States Marine Band. The singers were actually members of its sister organization, The Marine Corps Women's Reserve Band of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Today, few remember these all-female military bands because only a small number of their performances were broadcast or pressed to vinyl. But, as Jill Sullivan argues in Bands of Sisters: U.S. Women's Military Bands during World War

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Spanish anarchist immigrants and Argentine anarchists during the civil war and the experience of refugees from Spain. Abad de Santillán served on the powerful Antifascist Militias Committee, while Manuel Villar edited Solidaridad Obrera, an important anarchist periodical. Many other Spaniards returned from Argentina to participate in the civil war, among them José María Montero and Antonio Casanova. While these individuals were only a small number of those fighting in the war, their experience in Argentina and their enthusiasm for the social revolution at the outbreak o

Abstract:

Though New Testament scholars have written extensively on the Roman Empire, the topic of the military has been conspicuously neglected, leading many academics to defer to popular wisdom. Against this trend, The Roman Army and the New Testament provides a clear discussion of issues that are often taken for granted: Who served in the military of early Roman Palestine? Why did men join the Roman army, seemingly at odds with their own interests as subject peoples? What roles did soldiers serve beyond combat? How did civilians interact with and perceive soldiers? These questions are answered throug

Abstract:

This chapter illustrates how the Philharmonic had completely transformed itself in just eight years. It had silenced concerns about its artistic integrity, withstood challenges to its financial viability, and broadened its listener base. Judson played an integral role in the makeover. His managerial skills provided a steady hand, as he helped to direct Clarence Mackay's enthusiasm into shoring up the Philharmonic's foundation. But the 1930s had a new batch of challenges, particularly at the Philharmonic, which came to be increasingly reliant on guest conductors. Even though Arturo Toscanini wa

Abstract:

Though Jews were almost entirely physically absent from England between the end of the thirteenth and the end of the seventeenth centuries, they were nevertheless the source of considerable interest. They served as a focal point for the volatile English–Spanish relations of the period. Their writings were extensively consulted in the controversy surrounding the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. In addition, with the fitful advance of the English Reformation, Jewish sources become increasingly important to confessional disputes and competing efforts at Bible translation

Abstract:

An accessible, concise reference source on Polynesia's complex mythology, product of a culture little known outside its home. Encounters with the West introduced Polynesian mythology to the world—and sealed its fate as a casualty of colonialism. But for centuries before the Europeans came, that mythology was as vast as the triangle of ocean in which it flourished, as diverse as the people it served, and as complex as the mythologies of Greece and Rome. Students, researchers, and enthusiasts can follow vivid retellings of stories of creation, death, and great voyages, tracking variations from i

The final case study returns to the theme of financing for development explored in chapter 5. Yet where this first case study chapter explored the macroeconomic architecture surrounding debt relief, chapter 7 examines the link between the welfare reforms that Gordon Brown introduced in the UK, and the ‘Global New Deal’ that he sought to promote abroad. The centrepiece of Brown’s ‘Global New Deal’ was his much-vaunted International Finance Facility (and, latterly, International Finance Facility for Immunisation). The IFF, it is argued here, was very much in keeping with Brown’s ‘golden rule’ to

Abstract Are sports the new American religion? For many, the curiosity behind this question stems from the juxtaposition of waning traditional religious institutions in our current age and the thriving, cash-rich world of sports, where stadiums bustle with boundless enthusiasm, exuberant rituals, and potent symbols. However, this question reduces “religion” to only its institutional form, thereby overlooking the many unscripted ways that sports have assumed sacred significance in our time and throughout American history.

Written in a clear and engaging narrative style, this book analyzes the pivotal campaign in which Robert E. Lee drove the Union Army of the Potomac under George B. McClellan away from the Confederate capital of Richmond, VA, in the summer of 1862. The Seven Days’ Battles: The War Begins Anew examines how Lee’s Confederate forces squared off against McClellan’s Union Army during this week-long struggle, revealing how both sides committed many errors that could have affected the outcome. Indeed, while Lee is often credited with having brilliant battle plans, the author shows how the Confederate

Abstract How can movement actors navigate the tensions between allyship, representation, and power while striving for transformative change? This question serves as the cornerstone of Worker Centered, which provides an ethnographic study of a worker center campaign that was run at a primarily low-wage, immigrant workplace. Alongside an innovative strategic model, the organization drew on deeply held commitments to the leadership of workers. These values lie at the root of the conflict the book explores, where labor allies—activists and staffers who have devoted their lives to the importance of

A quiet but key figure in big band jazz, Freddie Green took a distinct pride in his role as Basie’s rhythm guitarist, redefining the outer limits of acoustic rhythm guitar and morphing it into an art form. So distinct was Green’s style that it would eventually give birth to notations on guitar charts that read: “Play in the style of Freddie Green.” This American jazz icon, much
