'In The Psychopolitics of Food, Mihalis Mentinis offers a thoughtful and original analysis of the contemporary foodscape in relation to neoliberalism. From an extension of the critical analysis of the "celebrity chef" to a consideration of the psychopolitical function of placentophagy, the book is well-grounded in food studies scholarship while extending this work in provocative ways. Its global perspective is particularly welcome as it uses Chile and Greece as informative case studies that interrogate the role of food in these countries’ neoliberal transformations. And the final chapter provides an insightful engagement with anorexia that shifts away from a psycho-pathological approach to one that reads it as a form of culinary resistance to neoliberalism. Overall, the book’s exploration of how culinary rites of passage contribute to neoliberal development is both theoretically rich yet accessible to all readers. It marks an important intervention in the trajectory of food studies scholarship.' – Peter Naccarato, Professor of English & World Literatures, Marymount Manhattan College, USA
'The uniqueness and strength of this thought provoking book is its focus on a very ordinary function in everyday life: eating practices. By focusing on food consumption, Mentinis clearly depicts how neoliberal transformation of our societies does not only affect our lives abstractly somewhere in the "economy" but that it is inextricably intertwined in the restructuring of the very fabric of our daily life practices.' – Athanasios Marvakis, Professor in Clinical Social Psychology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
‘A disturbing book that shows that our cooking culture boom is committed to the transformation of everyday forms of life into a cannibalistic/anorectic form of exploitation. A front-line exercise of grounded and cunning critique of ideology, opening truly new questions and insights for social theory and research, as well as for the lay understanding that the global path to our future is concretely passing through our own culinary/alimentary/sexual regimes.’ – Andrés Haye, Associate Professor and member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Intercultural and Indigenous Studies at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile

Culinary rites of passage in the neoliberal age

The Psychopolitics of Food

Handbook of Contemporary Learning Theories

"This is the first book to so thoroughly probe one of the questions that has haunted and continues to haunt Chinese writers: what does it mean to be Chinese? Through analysis of contemporary literary texts from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora, Chen sees the literary representation of identity as a spectrum of possibilities ranging from the ³authentic² (negotiating a cultural identity out of an interaction with traditional culture) to the ³hybrid² (reveling in plural identities). Within a framework shaped by postmodern and postcolonial theories, Chen shows a keen sensitivity in her reading of literary texts, which include those by writers as diverse as Wang Anyi, Zhu Tianxin and Zhu Tianwen, Dung Kai-cheung, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Gao Xingjian."- Kirk Denton, The Ohio State University

'Letty Chen has done magnificent work in rethinking the meaning and function of literary history and cultural politics. In Writing Chinese: Reshaping Chinese Cultural Identity, she looks into sources drawn from both indigenous and diasporic Chinese writings and teases out the radical elements in the contemporary debate about cultural and ethnic identities. Her book is an important source for anyone interested in Chinese and comparative literary and cultural studies.' - David Der-wei Wang, Harvard University

'Writing Chinese enacts a drama of personal and cultural identity along the jagged lines of travel, motion and assimilation. In lucid and flowing language Lingchei Letty Chen shows the poignant juggling acts of trying to find one's anchorage in the shifting sands of genealogies, memories, and national identifications. No sooner is Chineseness posited than it slips away to a new place in geopolitical power shuffling. Based on culture and literature in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, her provocative accounts articulate the dynamic matrix of authenticity, identity, and divided loyalty.' - Ban Wang, author of The Sublime Figure of History (1997) and Illuminations from the Past (2004)

The Parasites

Against the background of the recent emergence of civil society activism in Israel, and the parallel political work in Palestinian society, this book provides an in depth analysis of the political engagement of Palestinian and Israeli women activists working towards conflict resolution, recognition and reconciliation, while also interrogating the feasibility of women’s feminist critique to chart a different future. Giulia Daniele’s sophisticated feminist theoretical analysis and reflexive methodology demonstrate her acute understanding of the heterogeneities of the two societies and of the activist groups she analyses and, and her deep commitment to justice in Palestine.

“The book is both ambitious and meticulously researched and, insofar as it invites us to rethink the place of Italy in relation not only to the Mediterranean region but also to Europe and the rest of the world, it represents a timely critical contribution to the field of contemporary Italian studies.” (Nick Dines, H-SAE, H-Net Reviews, April, 2018)

'What is original about this study is da Silva's decision to theorize the concept of the femme fatale, a term that has been very much of a shifter, in the sense that it has been moved around the semantic grid to cover multiple concepts or has been used to cover a gap in that grid. The 'Femme' Fatale in Brazilian Cinema is attentive to the queer postulate that sociosexual categories are not fixed lexemes with a rigid hierarchy of sememes, but of gender in a society and its cultural production." - David William Foster, Regent's Professor of Spanish, Women and Gender Studies, Arizona State University, USA

"This innovative book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the performativity of the so-called 'femme fatale' in a number of Brazilian films primarily from the 1970s and 1980s. Navigating between representations of the femme fatale, or the 'deadly woman', if one prefers, as black, homosexual, slave or as a teenager, da Silva provides a key assessment of the figure for Lusophone Studies and cultural and film studies more generally." - Richard Cleminson, Reader, History of Sexuality, University of Leeds, UK

"This book, although it is aimed primarily at structural engineers, will be a welcome and valuable addition to the shelves of civil engineers of any specialization. It sets out rational step-by-step procedures for undertaking projects, rather than merely focusing on the details of the methods of calculation, as many other texts do. It also helps to provide context for the analysis and design process. While the book is aimed at Australian engineers, the principles and sequence of the design processes should be relevant to all countries."
-- Professor Harry Poulos, Coffey Services
"This book provides valuable practical guidance to engineers with case example calculations which occur often in practice. It assists in applying and interpreting the Australian Standards for determining loads and designing structural elements in concrete and steel. It is a tool which any structural engineer would find useful."
--Laurie Dender, Tetra Tech Proteus

By combining an international perspective with a wide range of topics, this book helps further our understanding of the potential impacts of these new technologies. One of the true strengths of this book is how it combines cultural, political, and economic areas of focus, and it will be a valuable resource for anyone studying the emergence of new mobile technologies." -- Jordan Frith, North Carolina State University, USA
