The Routledge Companion to Literary Media

The Routledge Companion to Literary Media

The Routledge Companion to Literary Media examines the fast-moving present and future of a media ecosystem in which the literary continues to play a vital role. The term ‘literary media’ challenges the tendency to hold the two terms distinct and broadens accepted usage of the literary to include popular cultural forms emerging technologies and taste cultures genres and platforms as well as traditions and audiences all too often excluded from literary histories and canons. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars and practitioners the Companion provides a comprehensive guide to existing terms and theories that address the alignment of literature and a variety of media forms. It situates the concept in relation to existing theories and histographies; considers emerging genres and forms such as locative narratives and autofiction; and expands discussion beyond the boundaries by which literary authorship is conventionally defined. Contributors also examine specific production and publishing contexts to provide in-depth analysis of the promotion of literary media materials. The volume further considers reading and other aspects of situated audience engagement such as Indigenous and oral storytelling prize and review cultures book clubs children and young adults. This authoritative collection is an invaluable resource for scholars and students working at the intersection of literary and media studies.

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

This handbook explores contextualises and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism – the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos – and international law.

It assesses the extent to which current international law is anthropocentric contextualises that claim in relation to broader critical theories of anthropocentrism and explores alternative ways for international law to organise relations between humans and other living and non-living entities.

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 Cold War Fears and Hopes 1950–52

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 Cold War Fears and Hopes 1950–52

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 covers a period of transition in Russell's political life between his orthodox and sometimes pugnacious defence of the West in the early post-war and the dissenting advocacy of nuclear disarmament and détente that started in earnest in the mid-1950s. While some of the assembled writings echo harsh prior criticism of Soviet expansionism and dictatorship others register growing qualms about the recklessness of American foreign policy and the baneful effects on civil liberties of anti-communist hysteria inside the United States. Whether continuing to push for western rearmament or highlighting in a more placatory vein the folly of the Cold War's divisions and rival fanaticisms Russell's paramount objective was avoiding a war that threatened global catastrophe. Suspended between fear and hope he expounded his evolving political concerns–and much else besides including autobiographical reflections and typically common-sense guidance for living well–in a constant flow of newspaper and magazine articles letters to editors radio broadcasts and discussions and of special note a Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Russell also completed two lecture tours of the United States (the last of many) as well as a landmark such visit to Australia. All three of these journeys and the textual record they left are examined in depth using manuscript material and unpublished correspondence from the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University which is mined extensively throughout the volume. | The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 Cold War Fears and Hopes 1950–52

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology

This second edition covers recent developments around the world with contributors from 33 different countries. It widens the handbook’s scope by including ecological design; consideration of cultural dimensions of the use and conservation of urban nature; the roles of government and civil society; and the continuing issues of equity and fairness in access to urban greenspaces. New features include an emphasis on the biophilic design of homes and workplaces demonstrating the value of nature in order to counter the still prevalent attitude among many developers that nature is a constraint rather than a value. The volume explores great practical achievements that have occurred since the first edition with many governments increasingly recognizing and legislating on urban nature and green infrastructure matters since cities play a major role in adapting to change particularly to climate crisis. New topics such as the ecological role of light at night and human microbiota in the urban ecosystem are introduced. Additional attention is given to food production in cities particularly the multiple roles of urban agriculture and household gardens in different contexts from wealthy communities to the poorest informal settlements in deprived communities. The emphasis is on demonstrating what can be achieved and what is already being done. The book aims to help scholars and graduate students by providing an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current urban ecological thinking across the range of disciplines such as geography ecology environmental science/studies planning and urban studies that converge in the study of towns and cities and urban design and living. It will also assist practitioners and civil society members in discovering the ways diff erent specialists and thinkers approach urban nature. | The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology
