Post-Ottoman Coexistence
Sharing Space in the Shadow of Conflict
Bryant, R. (ed)
Scholars often refer to the “peaceful coexistence” of various religious and ethnic groups under the Ottoman Empire before ethnonationalist conflicts dissolved that shared space and created legacies of division. Post-Ottoman Coexistence interrogates this “coexistence” and asks what practices enabled centuries of cooperation and sharing, as well as how and when such sharing was disrupted

Radicalism and Revolution in Western European Film
Halligan, B.
This is a fresh and groundbreaking account of the innovations and provocations of the “cinema of 1968,” and its social and aesthetic contexts.

A Comparative History of a European Concept

This tightly organized collection locates the essence of European parliamentarism in four key aspects—deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty—and explores the ways in which they have been contested, reshaped, and implemented in various states and regions, including familiar western European formations alongside those from central, eastern, and southern Europe.

A German-Polish Conflict over Land and Culture, 1919-1989
Polak-Springer, P.
From 1919 to 1989, the German-Polish borderland, one of Central Europe’s important industrial regions, was at the center of a conflict between Germany and Poland. In their interaction with — and mutual influence on — one another, both nations developed a transnational culture, giving the borderland a “Polish” / “German” face.

Beyond the Divide
Entangled Histories of Cold War Europe
Mikkonen, S. & Koivunen, P. (eds)
Cold War history has emphasized the division of Europe into two warring camps with separate ideologies and little in common. This volume presents an alternative perspective by suggesting that there were transnational networks bridging the gap and connecting like-minded people on both sides of the divide.

Topographies of Suffering
Buchenwald, Babi Yar, Lidice
Rapson, J.
Examining the Holocaust in literature, landscape and memory, this book examines three sites of murder by the Nazis: Buchenwald, Germany; Babi Yar, Ukraine; and Lidice, Czech Republic. Balancing scrutiny with the way their violent histories are remembered globally, these sites emerge as dynamic transcultural landscapes in which difficult pasts can be comprehended in the present.

Beyond the Lens of Conservation
Malagasy and Swiss Imaginations of One Another
Keller, E.
This ethnography examines how the cooperation between a national park in Madagascar and a Swiss zoo is perceived by ordinary people at either end. One view focuses on power and history, the other on morality and progress. Nature conservation therefore widens the gap between people in the North and South.

From Self-fulfilment to Survival of the Fittest
Work in European Cinema from the 1960s to the Present
Mazierska, E.
Contrary to the assumption that Western and Eastern European economies and cinemas were very different from each other, they actually had much in common. After the Second World War both the East and the West adopted a mixed system, containing elements of both socialism and capitalism, and from the 1980s on the whole of Europe, albeit at an uneven speed, followed the neoliberal agenda. This book examines how the economic systems of the East and West impacted labor by focusing on the representation of work in European cinema.

Paul, R.
The conditions for non-EU migrant workers to gain legal entry to Britain, France, and Germany are at the same time similar and quite different. To explain this variation this book compares the fine-grained legal categories for migrant workers in each country, and examines the interaction of economic, social, and cultural rationales in determining migrant legality.

Sounds of Modern History
Auditory Cultures in 19th- and 20th-Century Europe
Morat, D. (ed)
Since the late 19th century, there has been a paradigmatic shift in auditory cultures and practices in European societies. This change was brought about by modern phenomena such as urbanization, industrialization and mechanization, the rise of modern sciences, and of course the emergence of new sound recording and transmission media. This book contributes to our understanding of modern European history through the lens of sound by examining diverse subjects such as performed and recorded music, auditory technologies like the telephone and stethoscope, and the ambient noise of the city.

The Emergence of Film Culture
Knowledge Production, Institution Building, and the Fate of the Avant-Garde in Europe, 1919–1945
Hagener, M. (ed)
Between the two world wars, a distinct and vibrant film culture emerged in Europe. Film festivals and schools were established; film theory and history was written that took cinema seriously as an art form; and critical writing that created the film canon flourished. This new European film culture established film as a valid form of social expression, as an art form, and as a political force to be reckoned with.

The Politics of Memorialization in Post-Conflict Northern Ireland
Viggiani, E.
Using the memorialization of the Troubles in contemporary Northern Ireland as a case study, this book investigates how non-state, often proscribed, organizations have filled a societal vacuum in the creation of public memorials. In particular, these groups have sifted through the past to propose “official” collective narratives of national identification, historical legitimation, and moral justifications for violence.

Weary Warriors
Power, Knowledge, and the Invisible Wounds of Soldiers
Moss, P. & Prince, M. J.
“…offers a sustained and persuasive analysis of the institutional dynamics and individual actions by which various forms of warrelated neuroses are recognised, treated, negotiated, claimed and reproduced…The rich and impressive array of sources – military and medical texts, biographies and autobiographies, popular novels and films and journalistic accounts – on which the analysis is based makes the volume all the more persuasive.” · Social Anthropology
“This is a solid piece of scholarship. The authors successfully apply key concepts from Foucault, along with those of his feminist critics, to the analysis of soldiers returning from war. In so doing, they deepen our understanding of how weary warriors are constructed through time and space, and what his/her diagnosis, treatment, and release says about wider relations of power in, between, and across the state, the military, psychiatry, and the body itself.” · Carolyn Gallaher, American University

Exhibiting Europe in Museums
Transnational Networks, Collections, Narratives, and Representations
Kaiser, W., Krankenhagen, S. & Poehls, K.
Museums of history and contemporary culture face many challenges in the modern age, particularly in Europe where processes of Europeanization and globalization require more cross-border cooperation and different ways of telling stories for visitors. Based on research in nearly 100 museums across the Continent and interviews with cultural policy makers and museum curators, it studies the growing transnational activities of state institutions, societal organizations, and people in the museum field such as attempts to Europeanize collection policy and collections as well as different strategies for making narratives more transnational like telling stories of European integration as shared history and discussing both inward and outward migration as a common experience and challenge.

The Demons of Modernity
Ingmar Bergman and European Cinema
Orr, J.
"On the evidence of this brilliantly allusive study of Ingmar Bergman, John Orr, had it not been for his premature passing, would have become one of the world's most influential of film analysts. Even beneath the shadow of the plethora of books on Bergman, Orr's approach is distinctive… He emphasizes the maestro's courageous leap into Modernism in the early 1960's, and the profound influence he exerted on his contemporaries. It is a pleasure to read Orr's elegant prose, which eschews the obtuse terminology of semiotics in favor of a lucid, almost passionate approach to the material. Bergman, one feels, would have enjoyed this book." · Peter Cowie, author of Ingmar Bergman, A Critical Biography.
