    Content: The Cold War reconsidered as a limited nuclear war "Inexorable clarity and care for his fellow humans mark Robert Jacobs's guide to the Cold War as a limited nuclear war, whose harms disfigure any possible future."-Norma Field, author of In the Realm of a Dying Emperor: Japan at Century's End In the fall of 1961, President Kennedy somberly warned Americans about deadly radioactive fallout clouds extending hundreds of miles from H-bomb detonations, yet he approved ninety-six US nuclear weapon tests for 1962. Cold War nuclear testing, production, and disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima have exposed millions to dangerous radioactive particles; these millions are the global hibakusha. Many communities continue to be plagued with dire legacies and ongoing risks: sickness and early mortality, forced displacement, uncertainty and anxiety, dislocation from ancestors and traditional lifestyles, and contamination of food sources and ecosystems. Robert A. Jacobs re-envisions the history of the Cold War as a slow nuclear war, fought on remote battlegrounds against populations powerless to prevent the contamination of their lands and bodies. His comprehensive account necessitates a profound rethinking of the meaning, costs, and legacies of our embrace of nuclear weapons and technologies.

    To be real : truth and racial authenticity in a African American standup comedy (2023)

    Series Statement: Oxford studies in language race
    Content: "This book examines African American standup comedy over the past decade as a stage for understanding why notions of racial authenticity - in essence, appeals to "realness" and "real Blackness" - emerge as a cultural imperative in African American culture. Ethnographic observations and interviews with Black comedians ground this telling, providing a narrative arc of key historical moments in the new millennium. Readers will understand how and why African American comics invoke "realness" to: qualify nationalist 9/11 discourses and grapple with the racial entailments of the war, overcome a sense of racial despair in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, critique Michael Richards' ["Kramer's"] notorious rant at The Laugh Factory and subsequent attempts to censor their use of the n-word, and reconcile the politics of a "real" Black in Black folks' everyday lives via Kevin Hart's meteoric rise to global stardom. Additionally, readers will hear through audience murmurs, hisses, and boos how beliefs about racial authenticity are intensely class-wrought and fraught. Moreover, they will appreciate how context remains ever critical to when and why African American comics and audiences lobby for and/or lampoon jokes that differentiate the "real" from the "fake" or "Black folks" from "niggahs." To Be Real's take-home point is this: context and racial vulnerability are critical to understanding how and why allusions to "racial authenticity" persist in the African American comedic and cultural imagination. During watershed moments of crisis (e.g., 9/11, Hurricane Katrina) or incessant hope (e.g., 2008 Presidential election), African American stances around racial authenticity bespeak a need to define who and whose they are, if only to contend with the enduring significance of race. By consciously valuing a "real"- as opposed to strict notions of "the real" (which too often essentialize, objectify, and exclude) - this book reveals why authenticity matters to African Americans and, arguably all of us, when the proverbial -ish hits the fan and then, too, when things are calm and still"--

    Series Statement: Perspectives on the non-human in literature and culture
    Content: This book examines apian imagery--bees, drones, honey, and the hive--in the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literary and oral traditions. In England and the New World colonies during a critical period of expansion, the metaphor of this communal society faced unprecedented challenges even as it came to emblematize the process of colonization itself. The beehive connected the labor of those marginalized by race, class, gender, or species to larger considerations of sovereignty. This study examines the works of William Shakespeare; Francis Daniel Pastorius; Hopi, Wyandotte, and Pocasset cultures; John Milton; Hester Pulter; and Bernard Mandeville. Its contribution lies in its exploration of the simultaneously recuperative and destructive narratives that place the bee at the nexus of the human, the animal, and the environment. The book argues that bees play a central representational and physical role in shaping conflicts over hierarchies of the early transatlantic world.

    Content: "In the years immediately following the Second World War, art documentaries played an important part in an emerging cinephile culture favoring experimental shorts. In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais's Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Mystère Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them fell into oblivion and they have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most innovative, experimental and influential postwar art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With an international team of contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, Art in the Cinema draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others"--

    Content: Der Übergang vom fossilen Zeitalter hin zu einer kohlenstoffarmen Zukunft mit erneuerbaren Energien erfordert eine tiefgreifende Transformation, Reorganisation und Neukonfiguration des sozio-ökologischen Stoffwechsels, der insbesondere eine tiefgreifende raumzeitliche und politische Veränderung darstellt. Diese Arbeit analysiert diesen Wandel, indem sie die Rolle thermodynamischer Narrative untersucht, die im Zusammenhang mit der Elektrifizierung des Kapitalismus im Deutschland des endenden 19. Jahrhunderts aufgekommen sind. Sie geht der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung diese thermodynamischen Narrative für die lokale Umstrukturierung der Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung in der kohlenstoffarmen Energiewende weiterhin haben. Anhand eines neuartigen Analyserahmens, genannt ‚kritische Thermodynamik‘, der diese miteinander verbundenen Beziehungen in einem historisch-materialistischen Kontext analysiert, werden drei Hauptargumente vorgebracht. Erstens führt eine thermodynamische Narration mit ihren materiellen Implikationen das menschliche Streben nach "grüner" Energie in einen gegenwärtigen Zustand, auf dem die wissenschaftlichen und politischen Einzelheiten eines zukünftigen Natur-Energie-Beziehung aufbauen. Zweitens, in der gegenwärtigen Phase der Energiewende produziert das Kapital aufgrund des Fokus auf die effiziente Verteilung erneuerbarer Energien neue ökonomische Formationen in Prozessen der ökologischen Modernisierung. Dabei wird die Energieflexibilität als zentrales Terrain für die Aufrechterhaltung eines Status Quos als Ausgleich infrastruktureller Defizite herausgearbeitet. Drittens steuert der Staat die Energiewende durch experimentelle Ansätze, die dem Kapital einen technokratischen Raum für seine notwendigen socio-ecological fixes bieten sollen.
    Content: Englische Version: The transition from the fossil fuel era to a low-carbon future of renewable energy requires profound transformation, reorganisation, and reconfiguration of the socio-ecological metabolism. Since this metabolism was initially built upon centralised thermal power plants, the move to a future system that predominantly lives of ‘green megawatts’ from decentralised renewable energy sources represents a major spatiotemporal and political shift. This thesis analyses such a shift by investigating the role of thermodynamic narratives, which emerged in the context of electrification of capitalism in Germany at the end of the 19th century. It addresses the question of how these thermodynamic narratives continue to matter for the localised restructuring of the human-environmental relationship in the low-carbon energy transition. Through a novel framework of ‘critical thermodynamics’, which analyses these interconnected relations through a historical materialist framework, the thesis makes three main arguments. First, a thermodynamic narrativity along with its material implications guides the human quest for abundant ‘green’ energy into the contemporary conjuncture on which the scientific and political specificities of the future nature-energy relationship are built. Second, because of a focus on the efficient distribution of renewable energy in the current phase of the energy transition, capital produces new economic formations in wider processes of ecological modernisation. Here, energy flexibility is exposed as a central terrain for maintaining a status quo despite infrastructural shortcomings. Third, the state guides the energy transition through experimental approaches, intended to provide a technocratic space for capital to perform its necessary socio-ecological fixes.
