Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression offers an exciting new way of considering emotional transactions in Shakespearean drama. The book is significant in its scope and originality as it uses the innovative medium of colour terms and references to interrogate the early modern emotional register. By examining contextual and cultural influences this work explores the impact these influences have on the relationship between colour and emotion and argues for the importance of considering chromatic references as a means to uncover emotional significances. Using a broad range of documents it offers a wider understanding of affective expression in the early modern period through a detailed examination of several dramatic works. Although colour meanings fluctuate by paying particular attention to contextual clues and the historically specific cultural situations of Shakespeare’s plays this book uncovers emotional significances that are not always apparent to modern audiences and readers. Through its examination of the nexus between the history of emotions and the social and cultural uses of colour in early modern drama Shakespeare and Emotional Expression adds to our understanding of the expressive and affective possibilities in Shakespearean drama. | Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

In the decade since Kevin Hylton’s seminal book ‘Race’ and Sport: Critical Race Theory was published racialised issues have remained at the forefront of sport and leisure studies. In this important new book Hylton draws on original research in contemporary contexts from sport coaching to cyberspace to show once again that Critical Race Theory is an insightful and productive tool for interrogating problematic social phenomena.

Du Bois’ statement that the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line this book sheds a critical light on the way sport perpetuates racism while identifying opportunities to challenge its insidious presence. Exploring and explaining the ways in which notions of ‘race’ are expressed and contested at individual institutional and societal levels it addresses key topics such as whiteness diversity colourblindness unconscious bias identity leadership humour and discourse to investigate how language can be used as a device for resistance against racism in sport. Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport: Shaming the Colour Line is vital reading for all sport studies students academics and those with an interest in race ethnicity and society.

Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment The Case of “Colour-Blind” France

Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment The Case of “Colour-Blind” France

The book investigates the experience of ethno-racial discrimination in France and the forms that resistance takes in a colour-blind context. Among pluriethnic multi-religious post-colonial states with a long immigration history France holds a specific place in international comparisons due to its distinct colour-blindness. It does not recognize racial or ethnic groups either as legitimate social or political categories or as targets for policy. Nevertheless the book embarks in testing existing theories on the experience of discrimination and on the diverse repertoire of collective action to fight discriminatory practices in France. It features chapters that draw on empirical qualitative research done at various levels of political action (city regional or national) and focusing on various actors (inhabitants activists administrative judicial and elected officials). The contributors argue that far from disappearing race operates at the political level and is embedded in policy design. They highlight the centrality of institutions and policies in the production of a colour-blind racial regime. Despite the hostile character of the French political environment the fight against discrimination takes renewed forms from infrapolitical tactics to legal battles. While the social sciences have themselves been under attack scholarship on France demonstrates the reproduction of ethnoracial inequalities and investigates the forms that resistance to discrimination takes. Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of Race and Ethnic Studies Politics and Public Policy European Studies Research Methods and Sociology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies. | Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment The Case of “Colour-Blind” France
