Changing Directions of the British Welfare State

"Situated at the intersection of film studies and settler colonial studies, Cinematic Settlers is an extremely valuable volume that reflects on settler colonialism as a multifaceted process that is, in fundamental ways, still ongoing and in which cinema has been, since its invention, centrally involved. With sixteen carefully considered and clearly written essays, the collection produces an understanding of settler colonialism, and the film cultures it has produced, that is grounded in historical and textual specificity on the one hand and expansive, indeed global, on the other. The result is a volume of remarkable depth and breadth that throws into fresh relief the politics – of place, of representation, of identity – that structure settler societies." - Corinn Columpar, University of Toronto, Canada
"Cinematic Settlers challenges the field of settler-colonial studies with its ambitious geographical breadth and redefines conceptions of world cinema by interrogating the settler structures that underpin the medium. It is an essential text that spans multiple genres and historical periods to address urgent questions about the state of cinema and its role in cultivating a path beyond settlement." - Jerod Ra'Del Hollyfield, Carson-Newman University, USA

"Settler colonialism is at the very core of modern global history. This wide-ranging collection reveals its huge impact on transnational film and popular culture."- Angela Woollacott, The Australian National University, Australia

"This collection of essays on cinema from across the globe offers rich new insights on the distinct cultures settler colonialism produced by mirroring and affirming settler interests, perspectives and fantasies. The collection also tackles difficult questions of how contemporary filmmakers grapple with Indigenous critiques and post-settlement politics in diverse ways; from adopting multivocal perspectives to re-staging settler narratives in new imaginary frontiers. When representing diversity in film is such a pressing issue, this timely collection explores the deep histories and ambivalences of settler cinema." - Shino Konishi, University of Western Australia, Australia

'one of the first books on post-Soviet Central Asia dedicated to a single country. It demonstrates a serious effort to understand the people and politics of Fajikistand and the way in which external factors play exacerbating or mitigating roles vis-à-vis internal tensions. The book is written by a number of international experts and offers a fortunate combination of different perspectives on the political development of Tajikistan. Contributions from authors with practical experience add a further dimension.' - Anna Matveeva, Bulletin of SOAS

"Naturebot　is a beautifully written and researched exploration of the rapidly growing field of biomimicry and its implications for how we think of and live in the world. It is an important book, one which will begin a much-needed conversation about the social and ecological costs and benefits of this brave new nature." 


- Helena Feder, Associate Professor, East Carolina University



　
"When in unfamiliar terrain, having an adept guide can make all the difference between getting lost and finding a way—between being frightened of new phenomena, and learning from surprise encounters. In this scintillating book, James Barilla serves as the steady, insightful guide readers need to navigate the wildly fabricated landscape of biomimicry in its myriad forms.　Naturebot　is the story of a place that involves us, a living topos which is rapidly becoming everywhere."


- Christopher Schaberg, Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English, Loyola University New Orleans




"A timely, fascinating take on the intersection of biology and technology,　Naturebot　will change your view of the future. With humor and insight, Barilla takes us on a compelling journey into a new kind of wildness—one that will appeal to scholar, student, and casual reader alike—a technological terrain that raises provocative questions about the connections between Nature, science, and art.　What Barilla finds in his encounters with unconventional nature is at turns absurd, frightening, and hopeful—often all at once. His message is one we cannot hear too often: our future will be what we make it, and in fact we are making it right now. It would be good for us to pay attention and choose wisely.　Naturebot　goes far in showing us how."

"As Lisa Peck says in this fine book's first sentence, Act as a Feminist: Towards a Critical Acting Pedagogy　is 'a call to arms.' This thoroughly researched, historically grounded engagement with performance pedagogies and practices in the UK takes up how traditional practices operate to disempower women, and how this can be reframed by theatre artists from feminist perspectives. Peck engages feminist theories seriously to critique some current methods and attitudes, and provides alternative ways of thinking and working; particularly useful are the rich case studies. This book is a valuable contribution to understanding how to more fully empower women in theatre practice."
Rhonda Blair, Professor, Southern Methodist University; author of The Actor, Image, and Action: Acting and Cognitive Neuroscience; co-editor of Theatre, Performance and Cognition: Languages, Bodies and Ecologies


"Tremendous care and rigour is given to thinking through a feminist stance in the context of actor training. New feminist materialism proves to be a valuable ‘hub’ that allows for both critique of patriarchal, even abusive, systems of training whilst simultaneously embracing the essential physicality of training and its engagement with objects, spaces etc…It is testimony to Peck’s writing skill that she can so seamlessly navigate between the different textures and rhythms of thinking and experiencing. It is a signature of the book’s methodology and as a critical text it nevertheless aims to demonstrate the very claims she makes for women’s actor training, that it is empowering, ‘embraining’ and embodying."
Libby Worth, Reader, Royal Holloway University; co-editor of Theatre, Dance and Performance Training

"At a critical time in Drama School training, where models of teaching and learning are being rightly interrogated, this book takes us through a feminist perspective to endorse feminist pedagogy as part of the vital reimagining of the importance of "how" we teach, not "what". This is a succinct and exciting study of feminist theory and its application in current training and theatre settings, through the work of women practitioners past and present, many of whom have yet to be recognised for their vital contribution to embodied learning and theatre practice. It will be a valuable asset to Drama Schools as they re-configure their syllabus and examine the need for critical pedagogy and student centred learning and a creative challenge to the status quo which has yet to appreciate the significance of women's contribution to the making of theatre and the training of theatre artists" 
Shona Morris, Lead Movement Tutor, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, UK

"Lisa Peck's Act as a Feminist: Towards a Critical Acting Pedagogy is an important and much-needed work for reasons that concern both feminism/gender studies and actor/performer practice. Written in an accessible style, it tackles in a sophisticated manner via materialist perspectives some of the hidden and silent aspects in discourses on performance and performer processes. The book's double focus on methodology and practice, especially as regards the author's proposals about 're-making mimesis' and 'critical acting pedagogy', is amply and convincingly illuminated with reference to the contributions of women to voice, movement, acting, and directing. A must-have book for students, teachers, and practitioners."
Professor Frank Camilleri, Associate Professor, University of Malta, Author of Performer Training Reconfigured: Post-Psychophysical Perspectives for the Twenty-First Century

"This book is a great contribution to actor training in two ways: it develops a methodology to assess the feminist potential of the pedagogies of established women practitioners and it offers a witnessing experience from the studios of these practitioners."
Evi Stamatiou, Senior Lecturer, University of Chichester, UK

"This book fills a tremendous void in the literature, wherein it provides both a structured theoretical explication of an Islamic Psychotherapy as well as practical guidelines and concrete interventions for clinical practice. It uniquely combines faith and science, creating an integrative bridge for mental health providers in providing therapy within an Islamic spiritual context." —Harold G. Koenig, Duke University Medical Center, USA

"This is a fascinating and impressive book—theologically, philosophically, and theoretically. The book also contains many helpful insights for the practice of Islamic spiritually integrated psychotherapy. It makes an outstanding contribution to the growing literature about the role of religion and spirituality in mainstream psychology and psychotherapy. I enthusiastically recommend it." —P. Scott Richards, Brigham Young University, USA

'Erik Goodwyn is prominent among that small but growing band of psychologists who use an evolutionary perspective to build a unifying science of humanity. In this encyclopaedic compilation of insights, derived from an impressive variety of sources, Goodwyn demonstrates how the therapeutic power of ancient ritual practices can be mobilized by modern clinicians, whether they be psychotherapists, physicians or psychiatrists. Through ritual, Goodwyn shows us, we can activate phylogenetic structures as old as our species and summon their limitless resources to our aid.' - Anthony Stevens: author of Archetype Revisited: An Updated Natural History of The Self
‘Erik Goodwyn has delivered a definitive piece on ritual. The book provides a fascinating and erudite tour-de-force that bridges depth psychology and anthropology, drawing also upon biology and cognitive science, so as to explore the many layers of its topic. The author deftly pulls together these diverse sources of information towards building an integrative conceptual framework. The narrative is well-informed and informative. Goodwyn’s engaging style makes it highly accessible, a pleasure to read.’ - Raya Jones, School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, UK
‘In place of rituals that once pulsed with our blood and breathed with our breath, today we accumulate facts, information, procedures. We are not even sure what they all add up to. At the end of the work day, we addictively shop, consume, imbibe drugs, scan the internet - in search of something greater and more enduring. 　Meaning is the pattern that connects, and Dr. Erik Goodwyn would have us live more meaningful lives by understanding and accessing the timeless and archetypal patterns carried by rituals.Ritual, he argues, links the conscious mind with unconscious processes, critical because our self-conscious purposiveness lacks the evolutionary wisdom to which unconscious processes still have access. This book considers questions such as: How might we more effectively initiate teenagers into adulthood, women into menopause, patients struggling with the journey of dying? How is it that the "placebo effect" works - often more powerfully than the active ingredient in prescribed drugs -and how could ritual harness that power? How might healing words replace technical jargon in doctor/patient encounters? 　Goodwyn explores dozens of such scenarios, applying research from the fertile intersection of anthropology and psychology. The results are fascinating and highly valuable for anyone in the healing or helping professions.’　- Jerry M. Ruhl Ph.D., depth psychologist, co-author of Living Your Unlived Life
‘Drawing on a 'web of interaction' between biology, psychology and culture, Erik Goodwyn creates an inspiring interdisciplinary theoretical model for ritual in clinical practice. Arguing that rituals are an overlooked resource, Goodwyn brings together the skills of a perceptive clinician with ritual scholarship to reveal deep insights about a therapeutic process that has its roots in the very origins of humankind. Focusing on placebo effects, ‘psychological resonance’, and a wide range of cultural effects, he opens up and explores how they can be reintroduced into psychotherapeutic healing. This is an original work of the utmost importance, it gets to the heart of human soul, and it will change lives.’ - Dr Susan Greenwood, past lecturer and Senior Research Fellow, University of Sussex, UK
