  • - 'Living, Thinking, Dreaming Spain'
    av Fraser Raeburn
    1 249

    'Raeburn's book will immediately be warmly welcomed by scholars in Spanish Civil War Studies as one of the most distinguished contributions in the field in recent years. The Scottish volunteers for Spain emerged from a radical, complex and compelling political culture that has now found its historian.'James K. Hopkins, Southern Methodist UniversityWhy did so many Scots offer their time, their money and even their lives in aid of the Spanish Republic?Few causes before or since have inspired such passion, determination and sacrifice than the Spanish Civil War (1936-9). This book explores the many ways in which Scots responded to the war in Spain, covering the activists and humanitarians who raised funds and awareness at home, as well as the hundreds of Scots who journeyed to Spain to fight as part of the International Brigades. Their stories reflect much larger narratives of the rise of European fascism, the networks and cultures of international communism and the wider modern phenomenon of transnational foreign fighters.Scotland and the Spanish Civil War is a groundbreaking study of Scottish involvement in one of the 20th century's most famous and divisive conflicts, drawing on newly declassified government documents and international archives in Spain and beyond. As well as shedding new light on Scottish politics in the 1930s, Fraser Raeburn argues that this case study - part of the largest wave of foreign war volunteering in the 20th century - can help us understand other such mobilisations, past and present.Fraser Raeburn is a Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Edinburgh.Cover image: Spanish Civil War, International brigade, propaganda poster © akg-images / WHA / World History ArchiveCover design:[EUP logo] edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-5947-1Barcode

    The Franchise Era: Managing Media in the Digital EconomyEdited by James Fleury, Bryan Hikari Hartzheim and Stephen MamberA collection of essays that examine the management strategies of franchises across multiple mediaAs Hollywood shifts towards the digital era, the role of the media franchise has become more prominent. This edited collection, from a range of international scholars, argues that the franchise is now an integral element of American media culture. As such, the collection explores the production, distribution and marketing of franchises as a historical form of media-making - analysing the complex industrial practice of managing franchises across interconnected online platforms.Examining how traditional media incumbents like studios and networks have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector (such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google), the authors take a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape.James Fleury is a PhD candidate in Cinema and Media Studies at UCLA.Bryan Hikari Hartzheim is Assistant Professor in the School of International Liberal Studies at Waseda University, Japan.Stephen Mamber is a Research Professor in the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media at UCLA.Cover image: The Avengers (2012) Directed by Joss Whedon © Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/PhotofestCover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-1922-2Barcode

    Critically assesses the legacy of Obama's presidency in Trump's AmericaBased on a dialogue between political scientists and historians from both France and the US, this anthology offers a critical assessment of Barack Obama's two-term presidency. Focusing primarily on domestic policy, the book explains why the widely anticipated moment of change did not fully materialize. The Obama presidency navigated partisan and institutional obstacles, but quickly lost its 2008 momentum: these developments illustrate the weakening of the institutional Presidency in a larger context of polarized politics. Many of the fault lines of American society were thus left largely unaddressed, paving the way for the Trump campaign in 2016. Featuring a range of experts on the American presidency, this book offers both European and American perspectives on both the successes and failures of Obama's tenure in the White House.François Vergniolle de Chantal is Professor of American Politics and Government at Paris Diderot University.

    Explores Beckett's artistic vision at the intersection of queer, disability and posthumanist studiesThis book examines why Beckett's writing is so queer, so disabled and disabling. Why did Beckett write so often about mental illness, disability, perversion? Why did he take such an interest in 'abnormals' and 'degenerates'? How did he reconceive 'the human' in the wake of Hitler and Stalin? Drawing on Beckett's voluminous archive, as well as his primary texts, the authors use psychoanalysis, queer theory, disability theory and biopolitics to push Beckett studies beyond the normal.Seán Kennedy is Professor of English and Coordinator of Irish Studies at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
