The Forms of Things Unknown; Essays Towards an Aesthetic Philosophy

’This volume offers a crucial contribution to the debate on the applicability of restorative justice to family violence. Written by outstanding authors, the book is a treasure of balanced reflection, documented by rich practical experience and excellent systematic research. It is a must read for those who are considering the potentials and risks of restorative justice in the response to family violence.’ Lode Walgrave, University of Leuven, Belgium  ’A Restorative Approach to Family Violence represents a substantive and timely contribution to the development of an emerging practice to a seemingly intractable problem. With a primary focus on New Zealand, an inspiration and a leader in the use of restorative processes for a variety of crimes, this book is beneficial to those who seek to understand how restorative justice, once forbidden in addressing family violence, has become a meaningful (and surprising) alternative to addressing these gender crimes. Questioning throughout, A Restorative Approach helps the reader understand the contours of the debate and the possibilities for creative solutions to intimate abuse that the criminal justice system has so often failed to address or repair.’ Linda G. Mills, Center on Violence and Recovery, New York University, USA

A Restorative Approach to Family Violence

"This book is an important reading to anyone who wants to understand the reality of the contours of asylum, gender and state power in the UK and beyond from the situated gazes of women asylum seekers. The book shows, from different angles,　how the structural violence and oppression inherent in British asylum and everyday bordering policies and practices tend to often add to, rather than heal, traumas these women have undergone before and during their migration processes in their struggles for survival."

Nira Yuval-Davis, Professor, Director of the Research Centre on Migration, Refugees and Belonging (CMRB), University of East London, UK"Meticulously documenting state crime, harm and violence targeted against women seeking asylum, Canning skilfully deploys her academic-activist feminist standpoint to explode the myth of the refugee ‘crisis’. At the same time, she insists that the silence which is integral to state power can be and is being challenged through collective social action: Gendered Harm and Structural Violence in the British Asylum System is part of that resistance movement."Steve Tombs, Professor, Head of Social Policy & Criminology at the Open University and Co-Director of the International Centre for Comparative Criminological Research, UK"In this book, Canning provides a thoughtful, contextually grounded and meticulous critique of the British asylum system that is searing in its potency. Canning reminds us that Britain’s asylum systems and structures compound trauma, produce harm and perpetrate violence on those who arrive seeking humanitarian protection. A decade of research and advocacy has contributed to this book and the considered analysis offers immense value to researchers, advocates and practitioners."Alison Gerard, Associate Professor in Law and Director of the Centre for Law and Justice, Charles Sturt University, Australia

"This is a must read for anyone who wants to gain understanding of the structural harms and violence inflicted on people seeking asylum by the British state and its corporate allies. In this book, Canning has conducted an excellent feminist analysis of torture and harm, and given voice to the voiceless, drawing narratives of survival and resistance. This is a necessary and much needed contribution to critical criminology and feminism."
Dr Monish Bhatia, Lecturer in Criminology, Abertay University, UK

"In this beautifully written yet powerful and moving account of women’s experiences as they seek protection from persecution, violence and human rights abuse, Victoria Canning paints a complex picture that challenges the assumption that conditions for those seeking asylum in the UK are better than in other countries of Europe. In weaving the accounts of women through the book, she illustrates the structural gender violence that permeates the system but also stories of survival and resistance that challenge the representation of women asylum seekers as vulnerable and dependent. A must read!"

Heaven Crawley, Professor, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University, UK and author of Refugees and Gender: Law and Process
"‘States are not monolithic’, this book, toward the end, reminds us (p.159). They are ‘made of diverse actors, are highly complicated and in some areas even fractured and it is within these fractures that seeds of resistance have increasingly grown’ (p.159). Rich in its analysis, moving in its solidarity, and powerful in its anger, this book contributes to that process. It is an essential read."
Jon Burnett, University of Swansea, The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice
"This book is well written, extremely thorough and provides an uncomfortable but much-needed stark critique of Britain’s asylum policy and its gender-specific impact on women…. Canning offers a rigorous framework which draws attention to the implicit yet intentional ways in which individuals are excluded and harmed through the asylum process."Amanda Schmid-Scott, University of Exeter, UK, Theoretical Criminology

"Pervasive reporting of events has brought us back to the catastrophe as central to governing. This imaginative collection refuses to define catastrophe as exceptional, or by its limits in time and space. The chapters pose the times of catastrophe as multiple, integrating catastrophic events with the everyday and with how we envision futures. The authors creatively cross critical theory with historical and cultural analyses, generating a rich research agenda and teaching us all why we ought to turn to disaster to understand governing." -Susan Sterett, Virginia Tech, USA
"The Time of Catastrophe poses critical questions about how we think about events, conditions, and practices that have located humanity on the threshold of total destruction. The chapters develop exciting and innovative bridges between theory and everyday life, and offer compelling new possibilities for understanding the past, present, and future." -Sylvia Schafer, University of Connecticut, USA 
"This timely collection shifts from the places of human catastrophes to a consideration of their temporality. Innovative and challenging, the collection considers how catastrophes are endured, remembered, and projected. Far from being a moment in time, whether inside or outside history, the chapters in this book establish the catastrophes as trajectories: passages in time that mark our era." -Ronen Shamir, Tel-Aviv University, Israel

It Can't Happen Here

&ldquo;With his remarkable emotional precision and mastery of tone, Kanon transcends the form. In its subtly romanticized treatment of compromised lives, this book is even better than his terrific previous effort,&nbsp;Leaving Berlin (2015). A blend of Spy vs. Spy and sibling vs. sibling (not since le Carr&eacute;&#39;s&nbsp;A Perfect Spy&nbsp;has there been a family of spooks to rival this one), Kanon reaffirms his status as one of the very best writers in the genre.&rdquo;

Man mag nicht ermessen, durch wieviele Regalmeter Akten Ulmer sich gerfressen haben muss, um diese Geschichte eines heiklen Grenzgangs schreiben zu können. Herausgekommen ist ein Buch, das für Branchenmenschen spannender als jeder Krimi ist.
Ulrich Faure, BuchMarkt
Mit Konstantin Ulmers Dissertation liegt eine ausgezeichnete Darstellung vor, wie man sie in dieser Form selten findet. Die Arbeit zeigt geradezu mustergültig, wie man so einem komplexen Gegenstand, wie der deutschsprachigen Literatur von den frühen 1950er Jahren bis zur Wende 1989 beikommt. (...) Wer perspektivisch zur deutschen Literatur zwischen 1949 und 1989 forscht, der muss sich dieser exzellenten Arbeit versichern.
