Critical Studies

Siegfried Kracauer, or, The Allegories of Improvisation

'This is an important and timely collection of essays, presenting recent and complex investigations in Cosmetic Surgery Studies, whilst also revisiting landmark feminist interventions in a manner that gives key authors the opportunity to update their thinking in light of these more recent debates.' Ruth Holliday, University of Leeds, UK  'Editors Heyes and Jones have put together a collection of essays that is invaluable for anyone interested in the subject. It examines cosmetic surgery in relation to neoliberal discourse, national identity in an increasingly globalised industry, the makeover television genre, and what Nikki Sullivan has elsewhere called "white optics". The collection also examines carefully the ways that cosmetic surgery straddles the border between traditional medicine and elective procedures, and the moral and ethical questions that arise as a result. It is a pertinent collection given the popularity and presence of cosmetic surgery in Western global media and popular culture.' Times Higher Education  ’The benefits of this collection are numerous. Heyes and Jones compiled a feminist primer that presents the multiple facets of feminist cosmetic surgery criticism. They selected articles that cover the development of this field, discuss methodological issues, open up new perspectives, and, most importantly, present them in dialogue with each other.’ Sextures

’A timely, wide-ranging and fascinating exploration of approaches to war in the twentieth-century Church of England. Given the importance of its subject, this book is also essential reading for all students of British Christianity in this period.’ Michael Snape, University of Birmingham, UK  'God and War examines important questions about the changing relationships and tensions between the Anglican Church and people in twentieth century Britain, seen through the lens of the interaction of the church with military conflict in that century. One of its central tenets is that voices raised for and against war by the church during these conflicts had a significant impact on the influence of the church in an increasingly secular society.'  Birmingham On War blog  'As the editors to this collection of essays on the response of the Church of England to armed conflict in the 20th-Century point out, the church has enjoyed an enhanced national role during times of war and debate about war when its role as moral conscience becomes clearer. But, as the editors also point out, there has also been a diversity of opinions when a Church plays host to a number of views about war... This is a book that sheds light on a number of topics and raises many questions.'  Church of England Newspaper  'God and War is an important and pioneering study of Anglican reactions to conflict from the Boer War to those of the 1990s.' Church Times  'Overall, this is a worthwhile volume that adds a great deal to our understanding of the role of the Church of England through a century of unprecedented conflict... this is a valuable and important volume which helps in the reappraisal of the role of the Christian Churches in time of war.'  Journal of Anglican Studies  'I highly recommend this volume, and hope that others follow its lead by publishing similar work for their own denominations.'  McMaster Journal of Theology  ’...this volume contains well-written essays ... it makes a valuable addition t

"This is a top-quality volume. Severson, Goodman and a stellar collection of contributors do a great job of weaving a diverse range of approaches to the topic together into a book that sheds really fresh insight on a subject first raised by Freud, and revisited by many within and outside psychoanalysis ever since."-Donna M.
