            • Benvenuto Cellini and the Embodiment of the Modern Artist
            • Paperback
            • Andreas Beyer / Reaktion Books
          • A clear-eyed reconsideration of a scandalous Renaissance sculptor’s autobiography and art.
             
            Benvenuto Cellini was a murderer, thief, lover of all genders, rival of popes and princes, as well as an ingenious artist. In his legendary autobiography, the Vita, Cellini describes his activities vividly and in lurid detail. Many of the most disturbing passages have been dismissed as fiction, but in this clear-eyed portrayal, Andreas Beyer argues that these sensational accounts of the body, sex, and extreme experiences are not only entertaining but historically authentic. The stories reveal the depth of Cellini’s character: an artist who embraced life and shattered boundaries. Ultimately, this book discovers the roots of modern art’s fascination with the autonomous artist deep within Cellini’s audacious life and work.

            • Bookish Words & Their Surprising Stories
            • Paperback
            • David Crystal / Bodleian Library, University of Oxford
          • Travel through time with words that have shaped the trajectory of the English language across centuries.

            The world of books has played a striking role in the history of English vocabulary. “Book” itself is one of the oldest words in the language, originating from “boc” in Old English, and appears in many commonly used expressions today, including by the book, bring to book, and bookworm, to name a few.

            With the arrival of printing and typesetting, and the development of the newspaper industry came terminology that birthed commonly used phrases such as “stop the press,” “front-page news,” and “hit the headlines.” The emergence of the internet generated even more.

            This anthology presents a selection of more than one hundred words that show the influence of writing, reading, and publishing books on our everyday vocabulary over the centuries, telling the stories behind their linguistic origins and uncovering some surprising twists in the development of their meaning through time.

            • Buddhist Hermits in Eastern Tibet
            • Paperback
            • Magdalena Maria Turek / Routledge
          • Buddhist Hermits in Eastern Tibet explores the ritual and social empowerment of Buddhist monastics devoted to meditation under a charismatic master.

            Based on ethnographic research at a remote hermitage in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai province in China, this book examines contemplative practices and ascetic regimes as performances of renunciation, self-formation, and devotion, arguing that the master performs the ideal of Buddhist asceticism via his body and in front of a participant audience. Paralleling Tibet’s famed hermit Milarepa (eleventh/twelfth century), the ascetic master Tsultrim Tarchin is believed to have achieved liberation “in this body and life,” demonstrating that renunciation can be empowering and that elite practices and local tradition can be relatable to untrained laity and transnational practitioners alike. Providing new insights and capturing a vital aspect of the ethno-religious revival among Tibetans in China, this book enhances our understanding of Buddhist meditation in retreat and of the social and embodied dimensions of spiritual liberation.

            This book will be of interest to academic researchers and students of Buddhism, Religion, Anthropology, and Asian Studies.

            • Covid, Biopolitics and the Suspension of the Nomos
            • Paperback
            • William Watkin / Routledge
          • This book considers how, during the unprecedented global lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the normal order of everyday life, of the rule of law, of power itself was interrupted, and hence the nomos of this earth was suspended.

            Employing the term ‘herd immunity’ from vaccination science and global lockdown policy as a guiding theme, the book considers two central aspects of the pandemic. These are the function of herding and collecting as a definition of ontology after Alain Badiou, and the concept of immunity as a suspension of oppositional differences in the work of Roberto Esposito. It then considers how herd immunity not only disrupts the nomos but also suspends its significance as a guiding principle of state-sanctioned legal norms—and perhaps permanently. Providing critical readings of masking, social distancing, compliance, vulnerability, bubbles, immunity, breathing, anti-vaxxers, nudge theory, cocooning, lockdown, patient zero, and the many other terms that became commonplace between 2020 and 2022, the book traces a suspension of legal and social norms, a manipulation of our compliance using false science, and a reconfiguring of the social nomos, in light of the threats of the virus. In a highly original mix of contemporary and post-war continental philosophy, biopolitical theory, set theoretical mathematics, extensional logic, and the most up-to-date science in the area, it argues that lockdown was not some global, biopolitical power grab, but actually a weakening of power, of nomos.

            This book will appeal to scholars and others in a range of disciplinary areas with interests in the legacy of Covid; but especially those working in the areas of continental philosophy, contemporary legal theory, and biopolitics.

            • Criminology of Agriculture and Food
            • Paperback
            • Joseph F. Donnermeyer / Routledge
          • A little known and under-appreciated area in criminology is knowledge about the extent, pattern, and costs of crime committed against agriculture. Farm Crime: An International Perspective is the first book to summarize the existing literature from across the globe about agricultural victimization. It demonstrates the vulnerability of farms and farm families to both property and violent crime and how it threatens their livelihood and lifestyles.

            Written by a pioneer of rural criminology, this book provides both a descriptive synthesis of agricultural victimization and a discussion of various criminological theories applied to its study. Despite the great diversity of farms in different regions of the world and the significant differences between the kinds of crime committed against farms from continent to continent, Farm Crime summarizes common areas of vulnerability. It provides a significant agenda for the future study of agricultural victimization, both in terms of its importance to issues of food security and the safety of farm families around the world.

            This book is essential reading for green criminologists, rural criminologists, mainstream criminologists, and sociologists alike. It will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers focused on issues of rural development, agricultural policy, and food security.
