The American Museum of Natural History is one of New York City’s most beloved
institutions, and one of the largest, most celebrated museums in the world. Since
1869, generations of New Yorkers and tourists of all ages have been educated and
entertained here. Located across from Central Park, the sprawling structure, spanning
four city blocks, is a fascinating conglomeration of many buildings of diverse
architectural styles built over a period of 150 years. The first book to tell the history
of the museum from the point of view of these buildings, including the planned
Gilder Center, The American Museum of Natural History and How It Got That Way
contextualizes them within American history and the history of science.
Part II, “The Heavens in the Attic,” is the first detailed history of the Hayden
Planetarium, from the museum’s earliest astronomy exhibits, through the life of
the original planetarium, to the Rose Center for Earth and Space, and it features a
photographic tour through the original Hayden Planetarium.
Author Colin Davey spent much of his childhood literally and figuratively lost in
the museum’s labyrinthine hallways. The museum grew in fits and starts according
to the vicissitudes of backroom deals, personal agendas, two world wars, the Great
Depression, and the Cold War. Chronicling its evolution—from the selection of a
desolate, rocky, hilly, swampy site, known as Manhattan Square to the present day—the
book includes some of the most important and colorful characters in the city’s history,
including the notoriously corrupt and powerful “Boss” Tweed, “Father of New York
City” Andrew Haswell Green, and twentieth-century powerbroker and master builder
Robert Moses; museum presidents Morris K. Jesup, Henry Fairfield Osborn, and
The American
Ellen Futter; and American presidents, polar and African explorers, dinosaur hunters,
planetarium directors, and German rocket scientists.
Richly illustrated with period photos, The American Museum of Natural History
Museum of and How It Got That Way is based on deep archival research.
COLIN DAVEY ’S life was shaped by frequent visits to the American Museum of

Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium as a child. He is a scientist, software
engineer, martial artist, and author of Learn Boogie Woogie Piano (Boogie Woogie
Press, 1998).

The moon—its face, color, and power—threads through the tapestry of American
landscape painting, holding timeless allure for artists and beloved by viewers of
paintings everywhere. The Hudson River Museum has organized The Color of the
Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art—the first major museum examination of the
moon in American visual arts from the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries
for a 2019 exhibition. This timely presentation also celebrates the fiftieth anniversary
of the Apollo 11 mission when, in 1969, American astronauts first stepped onto the
surface of the moon.
From the romantic silvery moonscapes of nineteenth-century artists to the

abstractions by artists of the twentieth century who explored the moon, the perfect orb,
and tapped into its spiritual possibilities, this celestial body, closest to Earth, remains
constant in our sky, though our relationship to it and our home planet changes, as

To camp means to occupy a place and/or time provisionally or under special

circumstances. To camp can also mean to queer. And for many children and young
adults, summer camp is a formative experience mixed with homosocial structure and
homoerotic longing. In Queer as Camp, editors Kenneth B. Kidd and Derritt Mason
curate a collection of essays and critical memoirs exploring the intersections of
“queer” and “camp,” focusing especially on camp as an alternative and potentially non-
normative place and/or time.
Exploring questions of identity, desire, and social formation, Queer as Camp delves
into the diverse and queer-enabling dimensions of particular camp/sites, from more
traditional iterations to camp-like ventures as well as literary and filmic texts about
camp across a range of genres (fantasy, horror, realistic fiction, graphic novels) and the
notorious appropriation of Indigenous life and the consequences of “playing Indian.”
These accessible, engaging essays examine, variously, camp as a queer place and/or
the experiences of queers at camp, including Vermont’s Indian Brook, a single-sex girls’
camp that has struggled with the inclusion of nonbinary and transgender campers and
staff; the role of Jewish summer camp as a complicated site of sexuality, social bonding,
and citizen-making as well as potentially if not routinely queer-affirming place. They
also attend more to cinematic and literary representations of camp, such as Disney’s
Paul Bunyan, a short film that plays up male homosociality and cross-species bonding
while inviting queer identification in the process; Sleepaway Camp, a story that
exposes and deconstructs anxieties about the gendered body; and Wes Anderson’s
critically acclaimed Moonrise Kingdom, which makes the familiar look different and
Queer as Camp
opens the possibility of one’s arriving at a better place.
Highly interdisciplinary in scope, Queer as Camp reflects on camp and Camp with
candor, insight, and often humor.

Literature on the ethics and politics of food and that on human–animal relationships
have infrequently converged. Representing an initial step toward bridging this divide,
Messy Eating features interviews with thirteen prominent and emerging scholars
about the connections between their academic work and their approach to consuming
animals as food. The collection explores how authors working across a range of
perspectives—postcolonial, Indigenous, black, queer, trans, feminist, disability,
poststructuralist, posthumanist, and multispecies—weave their theoretical and
political orientations with daily, intimate, and visceral practices of food consumption,
preparation, and ingestion.
Each chapter introduces a scholar for whom the tangled, contradictory character of
human–animal relations raises difficult questions about what they eat. Representing
a departure from canonical animal rights literature, most authors featured in the
collection do not make their food politics or identities explicit in their published
work. While some interviewees practice vegetarianism or veganism, and almost all
decry the role of industrialized animal agriculture in the environmental crisis, the
contributors tend to reject a priori ethical codes and politics grounded in purity, surety,
or simplicity. Remarkably free of proscriptions, but attentive to the Eurocentric
tendencies of posthumanist animal studies, Messy Eating reveals how dietary
habits are unpredictable and dynamic, shaped but not determined by life histories,
educational trajectories, disciplinary homes, activist experiences, and intimate
relationships.
These accessible and engaging conversations offer rare and often surprising

insights into pressing social issues through a focus on the mundane—and messy—

Reoccupy
Earth
Notes toward an
Other Beginning “Wood offers an insightful account of the ecological condition as it is shaped by
habit, experience, and an ethics of the everyday. While much has been written
about ecology, the Anthropocene, and the politics of place, little theoretical
work has brought ecology to the realm of lived experience and the ways in which
humans constitute meaning. Reoccupy Earth does so with depth and sensitivity.”
—A MA N DA B O ETZ K ES, author of The Ethics of Earth Art
Habit rules our lives. And yet climate change and the catastrophic future it portends
make it clear that we cannot go on like this.
Our habits are integral to narratives of the good life, to social norms and
expectations, as well as to economic reality. Such shared shapes are vital. Yet while
many of our individual habits seem perfectly reasonable, when aggregated they spell
disaster. Beyond consumerism, other forms of life and patterns of dwelling are clearly
possible. But how can we get there from here? Who precisely is the “we” that our habits
have created, and who else might we be?
Philosophy is about emancipation—from illusions, myths, and oppression. In
David Wood Reoccupy Earth, the noted philosopher David Wood shows how an approach to
philosophy attuned to our ecological existence can suspend the taken-for-granted
and open up alternative forms of earthly dwelling. Sharing the Earth, as we do,
raises fundamental questions about space and time, place and history, territory and
embodiment—questions that philosophy cannot directly answer but can help us to
frame and to work out for ourselves.
Bringing an uncommon lucidity, directness, and even practicality to sophisticated
Reoccupy Earth philosophical questions, Wood plots experiential pathways that disrupt our habitual
existence and challenge our everyday complacency. In walking us through a range of
reversals, transformations, and estrangements that thinking ecologically demands,
Notes toward an Other Beginning Wood shows how living responsibly with the Earth means affirming the ways in which
we are vulnerable, receptive, and dependent, and the need for solidarity all round.

“The Supermarket of the Visible transcends the received wisdom to produce a

—TO DD MCGOWA N , author of The Impossible David Lynch
“A gifted writer with real pedagogical talent, Szendy knows just the appropriate
dosage of theoretical fine points (which he makes with surgical precision) and
shifts register as needed to quote accessible discussions of popular films and
television. A significant contribution to our understanding of the image world we
inhabit today.”
— SUZ A N N E GUERLAC, University of California, Berkeley
Already in 1929, Walter Benjamin described “a one hundred per cent image-space.”
Such an image space saturates our world now more than ever, constituting the
visibility in which we live. The Supermarket of the Visible analyzes this space and the
icons that populate it as the culmination of a history of the circulation and general
commodification of images and gazes. From the first elevators and escalators (tracking
shots avant la lettre to cinema, the great conductor of gazes), all the way down to
contemporary eye-tracking techniques that monitor the slightest saccades of our
eyes, Peter Szendy offers an entirely novel theory of the intersection of the image and
economics.
The Supermarket of the Visible elaborates an economy proper to images, icons—in
The Supermarket
other words, an iconomy. Deleuze caught a glimpse of this when he wrote that “money
is the flip side of all the images that cinema shows and edits on the front.” Since
“cinema,” for Deleuze, is synonymous with “universe,” Szendy argues that this sentence
of the Visible
must be understood in its broadest dimension and that a reading of key works in the
history of cinema allows us a unique vantage point upon the reverse of images, their
monetary implications. Paying close attention to sequences in Hitchcock, Bresson,
Toward a General Economy of Images Antonioni, De Palma, and The Sopranos, Szendy shows how cinema is not a uniquely
commercial art form among other, purer arts but, more fundamentally, helps to
PETE R SZE NDY elaborate what might be called, with Bataille, a general iconomy.

“Killing Times makes an enormous contribution to understanding the logic of

capital punishment in its disparate practices, laws, and customs. For the first
time we see that capital punishment is not only about retribution through state-
imposed death, but it is also and above all about the absolute mastery of time
through the creation of a kind of negative prosthesis—technology—that impossibly
supplements and completes the human by subtracting and destroying it. This is
scholarship and theoretical analysis at the highest level: thorough, wide-ranging,
and convincing.”
—A LLA N STO EK L, Pennsylvania State University
“Killing Times shows how technologies of death have affected, or infected, the way
we live. No mere academic treatise, Wills’s beautiful, forceful, and mesmerizing
book will draw in readers through its confessional style and vivid storytelling.”
— K ELLY O LI VER, Vanderbilt University
Killing Times begins with the deceptively simple observation—made by Jacques

Derrida in his seminars on the topic—that the death penalty mechanically interrupts
mortal time by pre-empting the typical mortal experience of not knowing at what
precise moment we will die. Through a broader examination of what constitutes
mortal temporality, David Wills proposes that the so-called machinery of death
summoned by the death penalty works by exploiting, or perverting, the prosthetic
machinery of time that already regulates human existence.
Killing Times traces the logic of the death penalty across a range of sites. Starting
Killing Times
with the struggles of American courts to articulate what methods of execution
constitute “cruel and unusual punishment,” Wills goes on to show the ways that
technologies of death have themselves evolved in conjunction with fraught ideas of
cruelty and instantaneity, from the guillotine through today’s lethal injections—and
The Temporal Technology beyond the justice system to the opposed but linked practices of suicide bombing and
of the Death Penalty drone warfare.
Grounded in a deep ethical and political commitment to death penalty abolition,
DAVI D WILLS Wills’s engaging and powerfully argued book pushes the question of capital
punishment beyond the confines of legal arguments to show how the technology of
288 pages capital punishment defines and appropriates the instant of death and reconfigures the

“This extraordinary collection is a veritable lost and found of law’s traces. Moving
across disciplines, it offers rich and surprising refractions of law’s ephemera:
What do we learn about the opacity of governance when we look for justice beyond
its expected ‘place’ in the confines of textual or rhetorical jurisprudence? What
is revealed when the legal inhabits the sacred, informs the literary, performs
geography, polices time, seeps through the agora, regenerates itself within bodies?
This indispensable book excavates how seemingly robust juridical processes
may teeter in concert with more fragile norms for mobility, status, and human
affinity.”
— PAT RI CI A J. WI LLI A MS, Columbia Law School
For many, the right place to look for law is in constitutions, statutes, and judicial

no formal law appears. These may be geographic regions beyond the reach of law,
everyday practices ungoverned or ungovernable by law, or works of art that have

In Looking for Law in All the Wrong Places, leading scholars of anthropology,
cultural studies, history, law, literature, political science, race and ethnic studies,
religion, and rhetoric look at law from the standpoint of the humanities. Beyond
showing law to be determined by or determinative of distinct cultural phenomena,
they show how law is itself interwoven with language, text, image, and culture.

The Reproduction of Life Death

Derrida’s La vie la mort
DAW NE Mc CANCE
“This is a superbly researched, written, and argued book on two of the most important though
neglected aspects of Derrida’s work: his reading of biology and his closely related work on
academic institutions. It is a work that anyone who is serious about Derrida will want to read
and will have to take into account.”
— MI CHA EL N AAS, DePaul University
Based on archival translations of a soon-to-be-published seminar by Jacques Derrida, The

Reproduction of Life Death offers an unprecedented study of Derrida’s engagement with molecular
biology and genetics. McCance shows how Derrida ties biological accounts of reproduction to the
reproductive program of teaching, challenging an auto-reproductive notion of pedagogy, while also
reinterpreting the work of psychoanalysis.

Administering Interpretation
Derrida, Agamben, and the Political Theology of Law
P ETE R GOO DRICH and MICH EL RO SENFELD, editors
“Peter Goodrich and Michel Rosenfeld underline to important effect the woeful marginality
of critical jurisprudence and critical legal interpretation in the contemporary U.S. legal
academy, in contrast to transoceanic points of comparison. The collection itself is an effective
advertisement for the absurdity of that marginality.”
— CHRI STO P HER TO MLI N S, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law
Populism in politics and policy orientations in law have thrown the jurisdiction of the academy
and the disciplines of interpretation into disarray. Administering Interpretation brings together
philosophers, humanists, and jurists to reassess the status and trajectory of interpretative theory
as applied in the law. The book brings contemporary critique to bear upon the interpretative
apparatuses of exclusion, the law of spectacular sovereignty, and the bodies that lie in its wake.

“Murderous Consent is a bold and principled argument against the strategic

rationality that governs violence in our times. Crépon asks us to consider the
myriad ways that consent and complicity sustain murderous acts and policies,
arguing that we cannot understand violence without taking into account the
consent to violence. This book provocatively helps us to rethink settled forms of
ethical reasoning that directly or indirectly license violence and lets us imagine
a world in which complicit realism gives way to much-needed affirmation of
nonviolence. An all too timely meeting of ethics and politics.”
— JUDI T H B UT LER
“There are many forms of opposing violence, but few take the injunction against
murder as seriously and thoroughly as Marc Crépon. . . .Crépon is subverting
the entire political apparatus of the liberal (or neoliberal) state, which is built
precisely on the simultaneous denial and use of murder as its ultimate political
tool.”
— JA MES MA RT EL, from the Foreword
Murderous Consent details our implication in violence we do not directly inflict but in
which we are structurally complicit: famines, civil wars, political repression in faraway
places. Marc Crépon insists on a bond between ethics and politics and attributes
violence to our treatment of the two as separate spheres. We repeatedly resist the call
to responsibility, as expressed by the appeal—by peoples across the world—for the care
and attention that their vulnerability enjoins.
Crépon calls for a more radical understanding of interpersonal responsibility, an
Murderous ethicosmopolitics to come. In rebellion, kindness, irony, critique, and shame, Crépon
outlines a range of resources with which we can respond to murderous consent. Not

Thinking with Adorno

The Uncoercive Gaze
G E R H ARD RICHT ER
“The chapters of this book are among the finest I have ever read on Adorno.”
— DA N I EL P URDY, Pennsylvania State University
What Theodor W. Adorno says cannot be separated from how he says it, and what he thinks cannot
be isolated from how he thinks it. Richter’s book teaches us to think with Adorno—both alongside
him and in relation to his diverse contexts and constellations, from aesthetic theory to political
critique, from the problem of judgment to the question of how to lead a right life within a wrong one.
Thinking with Adorno’s uncoercive gaze not only means following the fascinating paths of his
own work; it also means extending hospitality to the ghostly voices of others. As this book shows,
Adorno is best understood as a thinker in dialogue, whether with long-deceased predecessors in the
German tradition such as Kant and Hegel, with writers such as Kafka, with contemporaries such as
240 pages Benjamin and Arendt, or with philosophical voices that succeeded him, such as those of Derrida and

A Theology of Failure
Žižek against Christian Innocence
M A R I KA RO SE
“This is the best work I have ever read on Žižek in relation to theology, maybe the best such work
possible. Rose’s prose style is clear and engaging, and her project significantly advances our
understanding of Christian apophaticism, of Žižek’s project, and of the potential future stakes
of theology for a secular world.”
—A DA M KOTSKO, author of Neoliberalism’s Demons: On the Political Theology of Late Capital
Everyone agrees that theology has failed, but the question of how to respond to this failure is
contested. Against both radical orthodoxy and deconstructive theology, Rose proposes that Christian
identity is constituted by, not despite, failure.
Rose shows how the influential work of Slavoj Žižek repeats the original move of Christian
mysticism differently, yoking language, desire, and transcendence to a materialist rather than
a Neoplatonist account of the world. Tracing these themes through the Dionysius, Derrida, and

“This brilliant, pathbreaking, witty, and lucidly argued book will undoubtedly
become a major point of reference—if not the major point of reference—for anyone
interested in psychoanalysis and deconstruction for years to come.”
— ELI SSA MA RDER, Emory University
“A tour de force of critical writing. Rottenberg has a unique, lively, and witty
philosophical voice. She stands out as one of the most interesting scholars working
at the intersection of deconstruction and psychoanalysis.”
— REB ECCA CO MAY, University of Toronto
For the Love of Psychoanalysis is a book about what exceeds or resists calculation—in
life and in death. Rottenberg examines what emerges from the difference between
psychoanalysis and philosophy.
Part I, “Freuderrida,” announces a nontraditional Freud: a Freud associated not
with sexuality, repression, unconsciousness, and symbolization but with accidents
and chance. Looking at accidents both in and of Freud’s writing, Rottenberg
elaborates the unexpected insights that both produce and disrupt our received
ideas of psychoanalytic theory. Whether this disruption is figured as a foreign body,
as traumatic temporality, as spatial unlocatability, or as the death drive, it points
to something that is neither simply inside nor simply outside the psyche, neither
psychically nor materially determined.
Whereas the close reading of Freud leaves us open to the accidents of
psychoanalytic writing, Part II, “Freuderrida,” addresses itself to what transports us
back and limits the openness of our horizon. Here the example par excellence is the

death penalty, if it returns to it compulsively, it is not only because its calculating drive

Jewish Studies as Counterlife

“Jewish Studies needs Adam Zachary Newton’s book. Newton enacts interdisciplinarity as

a unique perspective on the academic humanities because it has spanned a range of disciplinary

to the emancipatory politics of the Enlightenment, to the ethnicity-driven pluralism of the postwar

The Mathematical Imagination

On the Origins and Promise of Critical Theory
M ATTHEW HANDELMAN
“Against the familiar lament that the inappropriate application of mathematical reasoning
abets social reification and instrumental rationality, Matthew Handelman rescues forgotten
attempts to argue otherwise. This search for a ‘negative mathematics’ that has critical potential
has foreshadowed ways in which the yawning gap between the humanities and STEM fields
may be overcome in our digital age.”
— MA RT I N JAY, University of California, Berkeley
As Horkheimer and Adorno first conceived of it, critical theory steadfastly opposed the
mathematization of thought. Mathematics signaled a dangerous positivism that led reason to the
barbarism of the Second World War. Yet drawn to the austerity and muteness of mathematics,
friends and forerunners of the Frankfurt School found in mathematical negativity strategies to
capture the marginalized experiences and perspectives of Jews in Germany. Handelman shows how

“Last Acts offers a dazzling account of Renaissance theatrical performances of death.

Bookended by an engaging Introduction and an eloquent Coda that ranges in time from John
Donne to David Bowie, this erudite book provides a theoretically sophisticated analysis of the
theater’s constitutive role in shaping political and economic discourse.”
— PAT RI CI A CA HI LL, Emory University
Last Acts argues that the Elizabethan and Jacobean theater offered important opportunities to
practice arts of dying. While theater is often understood as a form of mourning, early modern plays
also engage with devotional traditions that understand death less as an occasion for suffering or
grief than as an action to be performed, well or badly.
Active deaths belie mortality narratives of helplessness and loss and instead suggest how

Lives of the Dead Poets

Keats, Shelley, Coleridge
KA R E N SWANN
“This is one of the most exquisitely crafted books I have ever had the privilege of reading.
Swann sets out to complicate the idea that biographical fascination is simply retrograde,
sentimental, canonizing, or ideological. With the assurance of a deeply felt calling, this
book addresses the largest questions that we face as readers of literature.”
— MA RC REDFI ELD, Brown University
Any reader engaging the work of Keats, Shelley, or Coleridge must confront the role biography has
played in their canonization. Especially when it centers on the early deaths of Keats and Shelley,
biographical interest tends to be dismissed as a Victorian and sentimental phenomenon. And yet a
line of verse by these poets can still trigger associations with biographical detail in ways that spark
pathos or produce intimations of prolepsis or fatality, even for readers suspicious of such effects.
Taking seriously this biographical fascination, Swann shows how poets’ afterlives offer an opening

READING
SIDEWAYS
“Reading Sideways teaches us how to read dialogues between art objects and
artistic fields in ways that remind us of why the humanities matter: because the
friction between artistic media and our encounters with art estranges what
we think we know about ourselves and our attachments. Radiantly written, it
is itself both a powerful theory of aesthetics and an aesthetic object worth our
deep engagement.”
— ELI Z A B ET H FREEMA N , University of California, Davis
Reading Sideways explores the pivotal role that various art forms played in American
literary fiction in direct relation to the politics of gender and sexuality in works of
modern American literature. It tracks the crosswise circulation of aesthetic ideas in
fiction and argues that at stake in the aesthetic turn of these works was not only the
The Queer Politics of Art theorization of aesthetic experience but also an engagement with political arguments
in Modern American Fiction and debates about available modes of sociability and sexual expression. To track
these engagements, its author, Dana Seitler, performs a method she calls “lateral
reading,” a mode of interpretation that moves horizontally through various historical
Dana Seitler entanglements and across the fields of the arts to make sense of—and see in a new
light—their connections, challenges, and productive frictions.
Each chapter takes a different art form as its object: sculpture, portraiture,
homecraft, and opera. These art forms appear in some of the major works of literature
of the period central to negotiations of gender, race, and sexuality, including those
by Henry James, Davis, Willa Cather, Du Bois, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mary Wilkins

“For anyone who might be suffering from Anthropocene fatigue, this is a book to jolt
you from your slumbers. What happens to the globe when we shift attention from
the outward projection of emissions to extraction? The Earth we thought we knew,
and were already mourning, takes on a stunning new critical light.”
— CLA I RE CO LEB RO O K , Pennsylvania State University
“Usher’s brilliant study is a richly argued, erudite yet lyrical ode to the stuff of
which the Earth is made. Exterranean engages with the record of human earthly
entanglements in early modern European humanism, but always with a view to
counterbalancing current distancing and idealizing views of a globe that is all
surface, and no depth. By channeling the voices and agencies of Earth’s nonhuman
subterranean elements in all their omnipresent intimacy, Usher thus reconnects
us not merely to the history of knowledge and beliefs about the Earth and its
contents but also to our own fragile planet.”
— KA REN RA B ER, University of Mississippi
Exterranean concerns the extraction of stuff from the Earth, a process in which matter
goes from being sub- to exterranean. By opening up a rich archive of nonmodern texts
and images from across Europe, this work offers a bracing riposte to several critical
trends in ecological thought.
By shifting emphasis from emission to extraction, Usher reorients our perspective
away from Earthrise-like globes and shows what is gained by opening the planet to
depths within. The book thus maps the material and immaterial connections between

such. In this surprising and theoretically nuanced study, F. Dominic Longo reveals how grammatical
structures of language addressed in two medieval texts published nearly four centuries apart, from
new distinct religious traditions, offer a metaphor for how the self is embedded in spiritual reality.
in Reading The Grammar of Hearts (Nahw al-qulūb) by the great Sufi shaykh and Islamic scholar
‘Abd al-Karīm al-Qushayrī (d. 1074) and Moralized Grammar (Donatus moralizatus) by Christian
PAPERBACK theologian Jean Gerson (d. 1429), Longo reveals how both authors use the rules of language and
syntax to advance their pastoral goals. Indeed, grammar provides the two masters with a fresh way of
explaining spiritual reality to their pupils and to discipline the souls of their readers in the hopes that
their writings would make others adept in the grammar of the heart.

Comparative Theology
M A RTHA L. MOO RE -KEISH
and C H RIST IAN T. COLLINS W INN, editors
Building on recent engagements with Barth in the area of theologies of religion, Karl Barth and
Comparative Theology inaugurates a new conversation between Barth’s theology and comparative
theology. Each essay brings Barth into conversation with theological claims from other religious
traditions for the purpose of modeling deep learning across religious borders from a Barthian
perspective. For each tradition, two Barth-influenced theologians offer focused engagements of
Barth with the tradition’s respective themes and figures, and a response from a theologian from
that tradition then follows. With these surprising and stirringly creative exchanges, Karl Barth and
Comparative Theology promises to open up new trajectories for comparative theology.

The Singular Voice of Being

John Duns Scotus and Ultimate Difference
A ND R EW LAZ ELLA
The Singular Voice of Being reconsiders John Duns Scotus’s well-studied theory of the univocity of
being in light of his less explored discussions of ultimate difference. Ultimate difference is a notion
introduced by Aristotle and known by the Aristotelian tradition, but one that, this book argues,
Scotus radically retrofits to buttress his doctrine of univocity. Scotus broadens ultimate difference
to include not only specific differences, but also intrinsic modes of being (e.g., finite/infinite) and
principles of individuation (i.e., haecceitates). Furthermore, he deepens it by divorcing it from
anything with categorical classification, such as substantial form. Scotus uses his revamped
notion of ultimate difference as a means of dividing being, despite the longstanding Parmenidean
arguments against such division. The book highlights the unique role of difference in Scotus’s
thought, which conceives of difference not as a fall from the perfect unity of being but rather as a
perfective determination of an otherwise indifferent concept. The division of being culminates in
304 pages individuation as the final degree of perfection, which constitutes indivisible (i.e., singular) degrees

of being. This systematic study of ultimate difference opens new dimensions for understanding
Medieval Philosophy: Texts and Studies Scotus’s dense thought with respect to not only univocity, but also to individuation, cognition, and
MAY acts of the will.

Colonizing Christianity
Greek and Latin Religious Identity in the Era of the Fourth Crusade
G E O R GE E. DEMACO P OU LO S
Colonizing Christianity employs postcolonial critique to analyze the transformations of Greek and
Latin religious identity in the wake of the Fourth Crusade. Through close readings of texts from
the period of Latin occupation, this book argues that the experience of colonization splintered the
Greek community over how best to respond to the Latin other while illuminating the mechanisms by
which Western Christians authorized and exploited the Christian East. The experience of colonial
subjugation opened permanent fissures within the Orthodox community, which struggled to develop
a consistent response to aggressive demands for submission to the Roman Church.

Dynamis of Healing
Patristic Theology and the Psyche
P I A S OPH IA CH AU DHARI
This book explores how traces of the energies and dynamics of Orthodox Christian theology and
anthropology may be observed in the clinical work of depth psychology. Looking to theology to
express its own religious truths and to psychology to see whether these truth claims show up
in healing modalities, the author creatively engages both disciplines in order to highlight the
possibilities for healing contained therein. Dynamis of Healing elucidates how theology and
psychology are by no means fundamentally at odds with each other but rather can work together in a
beautiful and powerful synergia to address both the deepest needs and deepest desires of the human
person for healing and flourishing.
PI A S OPHIA CHAUDHARI holds a doctorate in theology from the department of Psychiatry &

“This book offers a corrective to the trend to present Husserl’s thought through
critical departures from it, such of those as Heidegger, Derrida, and Dummett,
instead approaching, and sometimes criticizing, Husserl’s thought on its own
terms. The volume offers an important contribution to contemporary philosophy
in both the continental and analytic traditions.”
— B URT HO P K I N S, University of Lille
Edmund Husserl, generally regarded as the founding figure of phenomenology,

exerted an enormous influence on the course of twentieth- and twenty-first-century
philosophy. This volume collects and translates essays written by important German-
speaking commentators on Husserl, ranging from his contemporaries to scholars
of today, to make available in English some of the best commentary on Husserl
and the phenomenological project. The essays focus on three problematics within
phenomenology: the nature and method of phenomenology; intentionality, with its
attendant issues of temporality and subjectivity; and intersubjectivity and culture.
Several essays also deal with Martin Heidegger’s phenomenology, although in a
manner that reveals not only Heidegger’s differences with Husserl but also his reliance
on and indebtedness to Husserl’s phenomenology.
Taken together, the book shows the continuing influence of Husserl’s thought,
demonstrating how such subsequent developments as existentialism, hermeneutics,
and deconstruction were defined in part by how they assimilated and departed from
Husserlian insights. The course of what has come to be called continental philosophy
cannot be described without reference to this assimilation and departure, and
Husserl among the many successor approaches phenomenology remains a viable avenue for
contemporary thought. In addition, problems addressed by Husserl—most notably,
intentionality, consciousness, the emotions, and ethics—are of central concern in
German Perspectives contemporary non-phenomenological philosophy, and many contemporary thinkers
have turned to Husserl for guidance. The essays demonstrate how significant Husserl

Whom We Shall Welcome

Italian Americans and Immigration Reform, 1945–1965
DA NI ELLE BAT T IST I
Whom We Shall Welcome examines World War II immigration of Italians to the United States, an
under-studied period in Italian immigration history. Danielle Battisti looks at efforts by Italian
American organizations to foster Italian immigration along with the lobbying efforts of Italian
Americans to change the quota laws. While Italian Americans (and other white ethnics) had attained
virtual political and social equality with many other groups of older-stock Americans by the end
of the war, Italians continued to be classified as undesirable immigrants. Her work is an important
contribution toward understanding the construction of Italian American racial/ethnic identity in
this period, the role of ethnic groups in U.S. foreign policy in the Cold War era, and the history of the
liberal immigration reform movement that led to the 1965 Immigration Act.
Whom We Shall Welcome makes significant contributions to histories of migration and ethnicity,
post-World War II liberalism, and immigration policy.

Allied Encounters
The Gendered Redemption of World War II Italy
M A R I SA ES COLAR
Allied Encounters uniquely explores Anglo-American and Italian literary, cinematic, and military
representations of World War II Italy in order to trace, critique, and move beyond the gendered
paradigm of redemption that has conditioned understandings of the Allied–Italian encounter.
The arrival of the Allies’ global forces in an Italy torn by civil war brought together populations
that had long mythologized one another, yet “liberation” did not prove to be the happy ending touted
by official rhetoric. Instead of a “honeymoon,” the Allied–Italian encounter in cities such as Naples
and Rome appeared to be a lurid affair, where the black market reigned supreme and prostitution
was the norm.
Informed by the historical context as well as by their respective traditions, these texts become
more than mirrors of the encounter or generic allegories. Instead, they are sites in which to explore
repressed traumas that inform how the occupation unfolded and is remembered, including the

Parishes are the missing middle in studies of American Catholicism. Between

individual Catholics and a global institution, the thousands of local parishes are
where Catholicism gets remade. American Parishes showcases what social forces
shape parishes, what parishes do, how they do it, and what this says about the future
of Catholicism in the United States. Expounding an embedded field approach, this
book displays the numerous forces currently reshaping American parishes. It draws
from sociology of religion, culture, organizations, and race to illuminate basic parish
processes, like leadership and education, and ongoing parish struggles like conflict and
multiculturalism.
American Parishes brings together contemporary data, methods, and questions
to establish a sociological re-engagement with Catholic parishes and a Catholic
re-engagement with sociological analysis. Contributions by leading social scientists
highlight how community, geography, and authority intersect within parishes. It
illuminates and analyzes how growing racial diversity, an aging religious population,
and neighborhood change affect the inner workings of parishes.

Edited by Gary Gallagher and Elizabeth Varon, two of the most prominent nineteenth-
century American historians in the nation, New Perspectives on the Union War
provides a more nuanced understanding of what “Union” meant in the Civil War North
by exploring how various groups of northerners conceived of the term. The essays
in this volume demonstrate that while there was a broad consensus that the war was
fought, or should be fought, for the cause of Union, there was bitter disagreement over
how to define that cause—debate not only between political camps but also within
them. The chapters touch on economics, politics, culture, military affairs, ethnicity,
and questions relating to just war.
