‘Foucault, Art, and Radical Theology gives us not only a compelling interpretation of Foucault, but also a vital conception of a materialist and non-representational theology. Petra Carlsson Redell engages Foucault’s reflections on painting, from Velasquez and Manet to Magritte, Rebeyrolle, and Fromanger, to grasp the complex interaction of bodies and things on a surface of infinite appearances. However, unlike the a/theology of Mark C. Taylor, Carlsson Redell emphasizes the political significance of Foucault’s aesthetics, and how it contributes to a materialist theology that refuses transcendence while still infusing transformative political activism. This is a wonderful book that imagines a new future for theology!’ – Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas. Author of Radical Political Theology ‘In this riotously refreshing theopolitics of material performativity, art, ritual and protest generate an entrancing mystery. With her beautiful writing and her companionable theorizing, Petra Carlsson Redell paints a surface –a brilliantly luminous surface—of theology’s radical and ironic potential for political action.’ – Catherine Keller, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, The Theological School, Drew University. Author of Cloud of the Impossible: Negative Theology and Planetary Entanglement ‘In Foucault, Art, and Radical Theology Petra Carlsson Redell deftly articulates Foucault’s renewal of painting’s engagement with surfaces, suggesting that it is time to rethink theology in material terms. "Mysteries" can now be understood as carnal and performative liturgies, not simply as secrets of transcendent realities. Carlsson Redell argues forcefully that contemporary interruptions of conventional religion – like the Russian group Pussy Riot – are not anti-religious but embody new forms of sacramentality.’ – Gary Shapiro, University of Richmond.

It is also a possible world. Exit West does not lead to utopia, but to a near future and the dim shapes of strangers that we can see through a distant doorway. All we have to do is step through it and meet them." --Viet Thanh Nguyen, The New York Times Book Review (cover) &ldquo;In spare, crystalline prose, Hamid conveys the experience of living in a city under siege with sharp, stabbing immediacy. He shows just how swiftly ordinary life &mdash; with all its banal rituals and routines &mdash; can morph into the defensive crouch of life in a war zone. &hellip; [and] how insidiously violence alters the calculus of daily life. &hellip; By mixing the real and the surreal, and using old fairy-tale magic, Hamid has created a fictional universe that captures the global perils percolating beneath today&rsquo;s headlines.&rdquo; &ndash;&ndash;Michiko Kakutani, New York Times&#160;&ldquo;Lyrical and urgent, the globalist novel evokes the dreams and disillusionments that follow Saeed and Nadia&hellip;.and peels away the dross of bigotry to expose the beauty of our common humanity.&rdquo; &mdash;O, the Oprah Magazine&ldquo;A beautiful and very detailed look at what it means to be an immigrant&hellip;An incredible book.&rdquo; &ndash;Sarah Jessica Parker on Read it Forward &ldquo;A little like the eerily significant Margaret Atwood novel, this love story amid the rubble of violence, uncertainty, and modernity feels at once otherworldly and all too real.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Magazine&rsquo;s The Strategist"This is the best writing of Hamid's career&hellip; Readers will find themselves going back and savoring each paragraph several times before moving on. He's that good. . . . Breathtaking.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR.org  &ldquo;Nearly every page reflects the tangible impact of life during wartime&mdash;not just the blood and gunsmoke of daily bombardments, but the quieter collateral damage that seeps in. The true magic of [Exit West] is how it manages to render it all in a narrative so moving, audacious, and indelibly human.&rdquo; &ndash;Entertainment Weekly, &ldquo;A rating&rdquo; &ldquo;Hamid rewrites the world as a place thoroughly, gorgeously, and permanently overrun by refugees and migrants. &hellip; But, still, he depicts the world as resolutely beautiful and, at its core, unchanged. The novel feels immediately canonical, so firm and unerring is Hamid&rsquo;s understanding of our time and its most pressing questions.&rdquo; &mdash;NewYorker.com "No novel is really about the cliche called 'the human condition,' but good novels expose and interpret the particular condition of the humans in their charge, and this is what Hamid has achieved here. If in its physical and perilous immediacy Nadia and Saeed&rsquo;s condition is alien to the mass of us, Exit West makes a final, certain declaration of affinity: 'We are all migrants through time.'&rdquo; &mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;Skillful and panoramic from the outset... [A] meticulously crafted, ambitious story of many layers, many geopolitical realities, many lives and circumstances...Here is the world, he seems to be saying, the direction we&rsquo;re hurtling in. How are we going to mitigate the damage we&rsquo;ve done?&rdquo; &ndash;The New York Review of Books &ldquo;Like the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but set in the real world. You&rsquo;ll be hearing about it, so get into it now.&rdquo; &mdash;TheSkimm&ldquo;Spellbinding.&rdquo; &ndash;Buzzfeed&ldquo;Hamid graphically explores a fundamental and important ontological question: Is it possible for us to conceive of ourselves at all, except in juxtaposition to an &ldquo;other&rdquo;?... What is remarkable about Hamid&rsquo;s narrative is that war is not, in fact, able to marginalize the &ldquo;precious mundanity&rdquo; of everyday life. Instead &mdash; and herein lies Hamid&rsquo;s genius as a storyteller &mdash; the mundanity, the minor joys of life, like bringing flowers to a lover, smoking a joint, and looking at stars, compete with the horrors of war.&rdquo; &ndash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;In an era when powerful ruling groups &mdash; often in the minority &mdash; are gripped by a sense of religious and ethnic nativism, Mohsin offers these two, the millions they represent, and us, comfort: that plausible, desirable futures can be imagined, that new tribes may be formed, and that life will go on... &#160;If we are looking for the story of our time, one that can project a future that is both more bleak and more hopeful than that which we can yet envision, this novel is faultless.&rdquo; &ndash;Boston Globe&ldquo;[A] slender treasure of a novel.&rdquo; &ndash;NPR's Book Concierge "Terrifying, hopeful, and all too relevant." &mdash;People Magazine &ldquo;It was as if Hamid knew what was going to happen to America and the world, and gave us a road map to our future&hellip; This book blew the top off my head. It&rsquo;s at once terrifying and, in the end, oddly hopeful.&rdquo; &ndash;Ayelet Waldman, New York Times Book Review "If there is one book everyone should read ASAP, it is Mohsin Hamid&rsquo;s Exit West...Short, unsentimental, deeply intimate, and so very powerful." &mdash;Goop  &ldquo;Spare and haunting, it&rsquo;s magical realism meets the all-too-real.&rdquo; &ndash;W Magazine &ldquo;Taut but haunting.&rdquo; &ndash;Vanity Fair  "Powerfully evokes the violence and anxiety of lives lived &lsquo;under the drone-crossed sky.&rsquo;&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Time Magazine &ldquo;Hamid&rsquo;s timely and spare new novel confronts the inevitability of mass global immigration, the unbroken cycle of violence and the indomitable human will to connect and love.&rdquo; &mdash;Huffington Post &ldquo;A great romance that is also a story of refugees; this couldn&rsquo;t be more timely.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Flavorwire &ldquo;Exit West is a compelling read that will make you think about the times we are living in right now.&rdquo; &ndash;PopSugar"Beautiful." &ndash;The Rumpus &ldquo;Eerily prescient.&rdquo; &ndash;Joyce Carol Oates, The New Yorker.com &ldquo;[A] thought experiment that pivots on the crucial figure of this century: the migrant&hellip; Hamid&rsquo;s cautious, even fastidious prose makes the sudden flashes of social breakdown all the more affecting...Evading the lure of both the utopian and the dystopian, Exit West makes some rough early sketches of the world that must come if we (or is it &lsquo;you&rsquo;?) are to avoid walling out the rest of the human race.&rdquo; &ndash;Financial Times &ldquo;Exit West&#160;operates on another plane&hellip; Beautiful and poetic even at its most devastating.&rdquo; &ndash;Book Riot &ldquo;Raw, poetic, and frighteningly prescient.&rdquo; &mdash;BBC.com &ldquo;Timely and resonant.&rdquo; &mdash;Publisher's Weekly,&#160;Top 10 Most-Anticipated Literary Fiction of 2017

"Genealogies of Emotions, Intimacies and Desire" is a lucid and comprehensive overview of recent attempts to write the history of these aspects of human existence that are often thought to be eternal. 　The theories Brooks is concerned with all agree that love and intimacy are different in different times and places, but they disagree about how and why. 　Brooks explains these theories and explores their differences. 　A useful text for postgraduate courses and for anyone seeking　to understand these influential theories,　"Genealogies of Emotions, Intimacies and Desire" is the first study to bring these related theories together to be considered side by side.

This is a thought-provoking and enjoyable publication and Ann Brooks makes a valuable contribution to a feminist sociology of emotion, intimacy and desire. The book provides a scholarly, in-depth study of the field by drawing skillfully on Foucault’s genealogy of sexuality, applying his methdology whilst engaging with other key feminist thinkers in the field such as Lauren Berlant, to explore shifting discourses and patterns of intimacy from the Greeks and Romans through to Medieval society and then through to the cult of Romantic love and its commodification in the 20th Century and beyond. Brooks also discusses the shaping of sexuality and desire in relation to postcolonialism and contemporary constructions of sexuality within the latemodern context, where discourses of reflexivity create new modes of intimacy that are mixed in a complicated way with hope and cynicism and the unsettling of old gendered positions. This book is a timely publication and recommended for students and researchers engaging with the sociology of emotions and intimacy.

A Brief History of Ancient Greece covers all the major topics in Ancient Greek history via a page-turning chronological narrative. Essentially, this is a finely balanced text, avoiding belabouring topics as well as giving coverage to all the major themes. Its major strengths are its readability, formatting (which fits my course's time frame), cost, and currency.
