Topographies of Suffering Published June 2017 Topographies of Suffering Buchenwald, Babi Yar, Lidice Rapson, J.

Examining the Holocaust in literature, landscape and memory, this book examines three sites of murder by the Nazis: Buchenwald, Germany; Babi Yar, Ukraine; and Lidice, Czech Republic. Balancing scrutiny with the way their violent histories are remembered globally, these sites emerge as dynamic transcultural landscapes in which difficult pasts can be comprehended in the present.

New Imaginaries Published July 2019 New Imaginaries Youthful Reinvention of Ukraine's Cultural Paradigm Rubchak, M.J. (ed)

Contributors to this volume infuse their work with Western elements, although vestiges of Soviet-style ideas, research methodology and writing linger. This, as a result, is a paradigm articulating “New Imaginaries” — neither Soviet nor Western — offering a fresh portrait of Ukrainian society seen through a new generation of feminist scholars.

Despite the wide interest in material culture, art, and aesthetics, few studies have considered them in light of the importance of the social imagination - the complex ways we conceptualize our social surroundings. This collection engages the “material turn” in the arts, humanities, and social sciences through a range of original contributions on creativity in diverse global and contemporary social settings.

Vehicles Published October 2017 Vehicles Cars, Canoes, and Other Metaphors of Moral Imagination Lipset, D. & Handler, R. (eds)

On-the-ground vehicles offer themselves as rich metaphors for the moral imagination, for thinking about ethical dimensions of the social. Vehicles presents a collection of ethnographic essays on the metaphoric significance of vehicles in different cultures, from canoes in Papua New Guinea to cars in contemporary China, Japan, and Eastern Europe. Vehicles not only “carry people around,” but also “carry” how they relate to culture, politics and history.

Silence, Screen, and Spectacle Published February 2017 Silence, Screen, and Spectacle Rethinking Social Memory in the Age of Information Freeman, L. A., Nienass, B., & Daniell, R. (eds)

This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord’s notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past.

Science, SETI, and Mathematics Published May 2021 Science, Seti, and Mathematics DeVito, C. L.

Mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art. And it is our mathematics that might be understandable, even familiar, to a distant race and might provide the basis for mutual communication. This book discusses, in a conversational way, the role of mathematics in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The author explores the science behind that search, its history, and the many questions associated with it, including those regarding the nature of language and the philosophical/psychological motivation behind this search.

“This is an ambitious and ground-breaking volume which takes a thoroughly interdisciplinary perspective on what the editors have branded as ‘transcultural montage.’ ...The total effect is a mesmerising and in many ways insightful comparative endeavour that will do much to consolidate montage as a theme that goes to the heart of contemporary social theory.”  ·  Martin Holbraad, University College London
