DescriptionMathew Abbott defends film-philosophy through the cinema of Abbas Kiarostami. He demonstrates that the Iranian director’s movies exemplify what has been called ‘cinematic thinking;’ the idea that film can illustrate philosophical ideas and arguments, and also the bolder (and more controversial) theory that it is capable of a certain type of thought.

Focusing in particular on Kiarostami’s recent films – Taste of Cherry, The Wind Will Carry Us, ABC Africa, Ten, Five, Shirin, Certified Copy and Like Someone in Love – Abbott shows that the thinking at work in them is deflationary and destructive.

Gilles Deleuze's Empiricism and SubjectivityA Critical Introduction and GuideJon Roffe

The AuthorJon Roffe is Mackenzie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Melbourne.

December 2016Pb • 978 1 4744 0583 6 • £19.99 BIC: HPJ, HPS

DescriptionEmpiricism and Subjectivity is Gilles Deleuze’s first book, and yet it is infrequently read and poorly understood. In fact, it constitutes a unique project in its own right, deserving of the same close study that is now widely given to other, more well-known works.

Jon Roffe introduces readers to Deleuze's productive way of reading other thinkers. For those already familiar with Deleuze, he emphasises Empiricism and Subjectivity’s novelty within his corpus. And, for all readers, Roffe outlines Deleuze's powerful and striking theory of subjectivity, and of philosophy itself.

DescriptionDeleuze’s encounter with Lucretius – Roman poet and philosopher, c. 99–55bc – sparked a way of thinking that resonates throughout all his writings. Filling a significant gap in Deleuze Studies, Ryan J. Johnson tells the story of the Deleuze–Lucretius encounter that begins and ends with a powerful claim: Lucretian atomism produced Deleuzianism.

December 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 0672 7 • £70.00 BIC: APFA, APFB, APFN

DescriptionNarrative complexity is a trend in contemporary cinema. Since the late 1990s there has been a palpable increase in complex storytelling in movies. But how do complex movies create perplexity and confusion? And what makes complex stories so attractive? By blending film studies and cognitive sciences, Miklós Kiss and Steven Willemsen’s study on Impossible Puzzle Films looks into the relation between complex storytelling and the mind. Analysing the effects that different complex stories have on viewers, the book explains how films can use baffling paradoxes, 'impossible' loops, and unresolved ambiguities in their stories and storytelling to play on our minds’ blind spots.

An exploration of how our minds engage with complex storytelling in film

Contemporary Turkey in ConflictEthnicity, Islam and Politics Tahir Abbas

The AuthorTahir Abbas FRSA is currently Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London.

December 2016Pb • 978 1 4744 1799 0 • £24.99

DescriptionNew perspectives on ethnic relations, Islam and neoliberalism have emerged in Turkey since the rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2002. Placing the period within its historical and contemporary context, Tahir Abbas argues that what it is to be ethnically, religiously and culturally Turkish has been transformed. He explores how issues of political trust, social capital and intolerance towards minorities have characterised Turkey in the early years of the 21st-century. He shows how a radical neoliberal economic and conservative outlook has materialised, leading to a clash over the religious, political and cultural direction of Turkey. These conflicts are defining the future of the nation.

DescriptionFor more than one thousand years Arab medicine held sway in the ancient world, from the shores of Spain in the West to China, India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the East. This book explores the impact of Greek (as well as Indian and Persian) medical heritage on the evolution of Arab medicine and pharmacology, investigating it from the perspective of materia medica – a reliable indication of the contribution of this medical legacy.

Focusing on the main substances introduced and traded by the Arabs in the medieval Mediterranean – including Ambergris, camphor, musk, myrobalan, nutmeg, sandalwood and turmeric – the authors show how they enriched the existing inventory of drugs influenced by Galenic-Arab pharmacology.

Islamic Law and Empire in Ottoman CairoJames E. Baldwin

The AuthorJames E. Baldwin is Assistant Professor of Islamic History at the University of Warwick.

December 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 0309 2 • £75.00 BIC: HBJF1, HRH, LAZ

DescriptionWhat did Islamic law mean in the early modern period, a world of great Muslim empires? Often portrayed as the quintessential jurists’ law, to a large extent it was developed by scholars outside the purview of the state. However, for the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, justice was the ultimate duty of the monarch, and Islamic law was a tool of legitimation and governance. James E. Baldwin examines how the interplay of these two conceptions of Islamic law – religious scholarship and royal justice – undergirded legal practice in Cairo, the largest and richest city in the Ottoman provinces. Through detailed studies of the various formal and informal dispute resolution institutions and practices that formed the fabric of law in Ottoman Cairo, his book contributes to key questions concerning the relationship between the shari‘a and political power, the plurality of Islamic legal practice, and the nature of centre-periphery relations in the Ottoman Empire.

A study of Islamic law and political power in the Ottoman Empire’s richest provincial city



Key Features• Offers a new interpretation of the relationship between Islamic law and

political power• Presents law as the key nexus connecting Egypt with the imperial capital

was represented in contemporary chronicles• Provides transcriptions and translations of a range of Ottoman legal

December 2016Hb • 978 1 4744 1575 0 • £70.00 BIC: DSB, DSC, DSK

DescriptionMay Sinclair was a bestselling author of her day whose versatile literary output, including criticism, philosophy, poetry, psychoanalysis and experimental fiction, now frequently falls between the established categories of literary modernism. In terms of her contribution to dominant modernist paradigms she was, until recently, best remembered for recasting the psychological novel as ‘stream of consciousness’ narrative in a 1918 review of Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage.

This book brings together the most recent research on Sinclair and re-contextualises her work both within and against dominant Modernist narratives. It explores Sinclair’s negotiations between the public and private, the cerebral and the corporeal and the spiritual and the profane in both her fiction and non-fiction.

DescriptionIn the early nineteenth century, Edinburgh was the leading centre of medical education and research in Britain. It also laid claim to a thriving periodical culture. Literature and Medicine in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press investigates how periodicals cultivated innovative literary forms, ideologies and discourses that reflected and shaped medical culture of Romantic-era Scotland. It examines several medically-trained contributors to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, the most influential literary periodical of the time, and draws upon extensive archival and bibliographical research to reclaim these previously neglected medico-literary figures. Situating their work in relation to developments in medical and periodical culture, this book advances our understanding of how the nineteenth-century periodical press cross-fertilised medical and literary ideas.

DescriptionHow did the development of two small countries at the north of Europe, whose histories were joined from about the year 795 AD – including a 300-year alliance – nevertheless diverge sharply in the modern era?

This edited collection of essays covers various elements of this analysis including land ownership, politics, agriculture, industry, money and banking, local government, education, religion, access and the outdoor life, as well as several more synthetic chapters. Written as it is by historians, political scientists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists and human geographers, the book moves beyond historical narrative, and outlines elements of a theory of divergent development between Norway and Scotland over the long term, and so towards a novel history which will be of interest to a wider audience.

Praise for Northern Neighbours ‘. . . a fascinating study of comparative history . . . the historical background leads into pertinent assessments of how far the much-vaunted ‘Nordic Model’ of higher taxation and a more potent welfare state is actually fit for purpose in Scotland given the radically different historical formations of the two countries. Here the volume contributes effectively not only to an understanding of the past but also to an important aspect of the constitutional and public policy debates of today and into the future.’

The first step in the research process was the creation of the Shakespearean Inside Database (SID) where these speeches were annotated according to variables of genuine literary interest (such as act, dramatic subgenre, probable time of composition, dramatic speech acts, selected figures of speech, and character attributes such as gender and class). Such comprehensive and detailed data makes it possible to generalize dependably about Shakespeare’s authorial habits, and, by extension, to identify situations where the author departs in interesting ways from his habitual practices. The monograph uses these broad patterns and significant exceptions as a backdrop for fresh interpretations of various Shakespeare plays (from early works such as The Taming of the Shrew and The Two Gentlemen of Verona to mature tragedies like Hamlet and late plays like The Tempest and The Two Noble Kinsmen).

The first comprehensive and fully systematic study of all soliloquies and solo asides in Shakespeare’s plays

Jimmy Carter and the Anglo-American ‘Special Relationship’Thomas K. Robb

DescriptionRobb Thomas draws upon a wealth of previously classified documents to reveal that relations between Britain and the United States of America during Carter's presidency were riven with antagonism and disagreement. Contrary to existing interpretations, even the most 'special' aspects of intelligence and nuclear cooperation were not immune to high-level political tension.

Thomas exposes the true competitive nature of the relationship during Carter's presidency, as well as providing an original understanding to how both countries approached the breakdown of superpower détente; the subject of international human rights promotion; the tackling of common economic and energy challenges and to the Anglo-American nuclear and intelligence relationship.

Reveals the true nature of relations between the US and the UK during the Carter presidency

Relations between Britain and America constitute arguably the world's single most important bilateral relationship since the Second World War, from co-operation during the war and post-war recovery, through the Cold War to today's high profile war on terror. For much of this time, the relationship has been little debated or questioned outwith academic circles. However recent and current events – 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq in particular – have brought discussion of the special relationship into the mainstream. In addition, they have fuelled renewed debate about the wider political, military, economic and cultural implications of Anglo-American relations and the post-World War Two international system that the US and Britain largely designed and subsequently supported.
