Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10 Offering a reading of the intermarriage debate and expulsion of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10 this book engages with the production and performance of masculinities in this biblical text shifting the focus away from the 'foreign women' to the men who are the primary actors in this work. This approach addresses the diversity of masculinities and the ways in which they are implicated in the production of power relations in the text. It explores the ‘feminized’ masculinity of the peoples-of-the-lands the unstable masculinity of the golah Ezra’s performance of penitential masculinity and the rehabilitation of divine masculinity. The rejection of the marriages and the call for the expulsion of the women and children are addressed as sites on which masculinities and power relations are configured. In doing so this book sheds light on how women and the traits and performances culturally ascribed to women femininity and inferior masculinities are appropriated to produce masculinities and negotiate power relations between men. It posits that the debate in Ezra 9-10 is not ultimately about the women themselves but about bringing the masculinities bodies and practices of dissenting men under the ‘management’ of those who wield the Torah in the narrative world of the text. Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra-9-10 is of interest for scholars and students working on the Book of Ezra specifically as well as the Hebrew Bible and its world more broadly. It is also a valuable study for those working on masculinities and gender in the biblical world and ancient Near East. | Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10 GBP 130.00 1
Serial Killers in Contemporary Television Familiar Monsters in Post-9/11 Culture This volume examines the significant increase in representations of serial killers as central characters in popular television over the last two decades. Via critical analyses of the philosophical and existential themes presented to viewers and their place in the cultural landscape of contemporary America the authors ask: What is it about serial killers that incited such a boom in these types of narratives in popular television post-9/11? Looking past the serial format of television programming as uniquely suited for the presentation of the serial killer’s actions the chapters delve into deeper reasons as to why TV has proven to be such a fertile ground for serial killer narratives in contemporary popular culture. An international team of authors question: What is it about serial killers that makes these characters deeply enlightening representations of the human condition that although horrifically deviant reflect complex elements of the human psyche? Why are serial killers intellectually fascinating to audiences? How do these characters so deeply affect us? Shedding new light on a contemporary phenomenon this book will be a fascinating read for all those at the intersection of television studies film studies psychology popular culture media studies philosophy genre studies and horror studies. | Serial Killers in Contemporary Television Familiar Monsters in Post-9/11 Culture GBP 130.00 1
Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9 This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9 GBP 130.00 1

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey describes with a new archive of correspondence interviews and working drafts the some 40 years that Seamus Heaney spent in the United States as a teacher lecturer friend and colleague and as an active poet on the reading circuit. It is anchored by Heaney’s appointments at Berkeley and Harvard but it also follows Heaney’s readings “on the road” at three important points in his career. It argues that Heaney was initially receptive to American poetry and culture while his career was still plastic but as he developed more assurance and fame he became much more critical of America as a superpower especially in the military reaction to 9/11. This study emphasizes “the heard Heaney” as much as the “writerly Heaney” by listening in on key poetry readings at different times and to recorded but unpublished lectures on American and British poets at Harvard. It includes accounts by his creative writing students aspiring poets who testify to his mentoring as well as modeling for them how one can be “a poet in the world” as he was most strikingly.

Fundamental Principles of International Relations This book distills the essential elements of world politics both the enduring characteristics as well as the revolutionary changes that may be altering the very fabric of the centuries-old state system. Author J. Martin Rochester explores all the important topics that one would expect to find in an IR text (war diplomacy foreign policy international law and organization the international economy and more) but injects fresh perspectives on how globalization and other contemporary trends are affecting these issues. In addition the author does so through a highly engaging lively writing style that will appeal to today's students. Fundamental Principles of International Relations is a tightly woven treatment of international politics past and present drawing on the latest academic scholarship while avoiding excessive jargon and utilizing pedagogical aids while avoiding clutter. Rochester ultimately challenges the reader to think critically about the future of a post-Cold War and post-9/11 world that is arguably more complex if not more dangerous than some previous eras with the potential for promise as well as peril.

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border For residents living at national borders the divisions between countries are rarely black and white and often everyday interactions contribute to the creation of a cross-border region. This book examines this phenomenon in Cascadia which runs along the Canada/US border in the Pacific Northwest.
