Becoming and Belonging in Ireland, c.1200-1600: Essays in Identity & Cultural Practice
Edited by Audrey Horning; Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at W&M; Elizabeth FitzPatrick, National University of Galway; and Eve Campbell, Achill Archaeological Field School
The period c. 1200-1600 was marked by the achievements and decline of the Anglo-Norman colony in Ireland, refashioning of Gaelic elite identity, Reformation, and reassertion of English control that led to Plantation projects, bringing new people and ideas to the island. This collection of sixteen essays explores the complexities and predicaments of identity, and the cultural practices used to express and underpin them in this key period, ranging from the micro-scale and personal to the emergence of ideas of national identity. Overtly interdisciplinary, the volume incorporates contributions from historians, archaeologists, and literary scholars interrogating a wide range of source material.

Comic Performance in Pakistan: The Bhānd
By Claire Pamment, Assistant Professor, Theatre Speech and Dance
This book explores comic performance in Pakistan through the vibrant Indo-Muslim tradition of the Punjabi bhānd which now holds a marginal space in contemporary weddings. With irreverent repartee, genealogical prowess, a topsy-turvy play with hierarchies and shape shifting, the low-status bhānd jostles space in otherwise rigid class and caste hierarchies. Tracing these negotiations in both historical and contemporary sites, the author unfolds a dynamic performance mode that travels from the Sanskrit jester and Sufi wise fool, into Muslim royal courts and households, weddings, contemporary carnivalesque and erotic popular Punjabi theatre and satellite television news. Through original historical and ethnographic research, this book brings to life hitherto unexplored territories of Pakistani popular culture and Indo-Muslim performance histories.

El imperio de la virtud. Grandeza mexicana (1604) de Bernardo de Balbuena y el discurso criollo novohispano
[The Empire of Virtue: Bernardo de Balbuena's Mexican Grandeur (1604) and creole discourse in New Spain]
By Jorge L Terukina, Associate Professor, Hispanic Studies, Modern Languages & Literatures
El imperio de la virtud offers an updated biography of Bernardo de Balbuena (c.1562-1627) that reminds us of his ties to the Iberian Peninsula, and traces the pre-modern rhetorical, scientific, geopolitical, and economic paradigms upon which his most famous Grandeza mexicana (1604) is designed. Against the widespread proto-Mexican and criollista reading of Grandeza mexicana, El imperio de la virtud analyzes Balbuena's encomium of Mexico City as a political prise de position in favor of peninsular émigrés like Balbuena himself, who are allegedly endowed with the moral and intellectual virtues needed to direct the spiritual and temporal life of the viceroyalty, and against the morally deficient criollos and the barbaric Indians. El imperio de la virtud invites us to reassess the role that Balbuena and Grandeza mexicana play in the cultural history of present-day Mexico.

Film and Television Genres of the Late Soviet Era
By Elena Prokhorova, Associate Professor of Russian and Film; and Alexander Prokhorov, Associate Professor of Russian and Film
Most histories of Soviet cinema portray the 1970s as a period of stagnation with the gradual decline of the film industry. This book, however, examines Soviet film and television of the era as mature industries articulating diverse cultural values via new genre models. During the 1970s, Soviet cinema and television developed a parallel system of genres where television texts celebrated conservative consensus while films manifested symptoms of ideological and social crises. The book examines the genres of state-sponsored epic films, police procedural, comedy and melodrama, and outlines how television gradually emerged as the major form of Russo-Soviet popular culture. Through close analysis of well-known film classics of the period as well as less familiar films and television series, this groundbreaking work helps to deconstruct the myth of this era as a time of cultural and economic stagnation and also helps us to understand the persistence of this myth in the collective memory of Putin-era Russia. This monograph is the first book-length English-language study of film and television genres of the late Soviet era.

Lineage of Loss: Counternarratives of North Indian Music
By Max Katz, associate professor of music
Drawing on six years of ethnographic and archival research, and 15 years of musical apprenticeship, in this book Max Katz explores the oral history and written record of a longstanding but moribund Hindustani musical lineage, tracing its displacement, loss of prestige, and erasure from the collective memory. In doing so he illuminates a hidden history of ideological and social struggle in North Indian music culture, intervenes in ongoing debates over the anti-Muslim agenda of Hindustani music's reform movement, and reanimates a lost vision in which Muslim scholar-artists defined the music of the nation.

Opera for the People: English-Language Opera and Women Managers in Late 19th-Century America
By Katherine K. Preston, David N. and Margaret C. Bottoms Professor of Music
This book is an in-depth examination of a forgotten chapter in American social and cultural history: the love affair that middle-class Americans had with continental opera (translated into English) in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s. Opera for the People--contrary to the existing historiography on American musical culture of the period--reveals how English-language opera not only flourished in the United States during the time, but was successful because of support by women impresarios, prima-donnas, managers, and philanthropists. Based on extensive primary documentation, this book tells the story of how these women influenced the performance of opera during this period; it also illustrates the important social and cultural impact of the more than one-hundred opera companies that toured the United States during the second half of the century, providing opera in English as entertainment for Americans of diverse social-economic backgrounds.

Osaka Modern: The City in the Japanese Imaginary
By Michael Cronin, Associate Professor, Modern Languages and Literatures
Japan's "merchant capital" in the late sixteenth century, Osaka remained an industrial center — the "Manchester of the East" — into the 1930s, Osaka represents a critical site of East Asian modernity. Osaka Modern maps the city as imagined in Japanese popular culture from the 1920s to the 1950s, a city that betrayed the workings of imperialism and asserted an urban identity alternative — even subversive of — national identity. Its interdisciplinary approach creates intersections between Osaka and various theoretical concerns — everyday life, coloniality, masculinity, translation — to produce a fresh appreciation of key works of literature and cinema and to recalibrate these widely-used critical approaches.

Primitive Colors: A Case Study in Neo-pragmatist Metaphysics and Philosophy of Perception
By Joshua Gert, Professor of Philosophy
This book is both an account of the nature of color and color perception. It defends a view that allows there to be truths about the colors of objects despite a surprising amount of variation in color appearance across normal conditions and normal observers. A central analogy to which the argument appeals is that between the perceptible three-dimensional shape of an object, and the various ways in which that shape appears from various perspectives.
