The first social history to focus on Scottish policing in the 20th centuryThis book examines the relationships forged between police officers and the diverse urban and rural communities in which they have lived and worked in Scotland across the twentieth century, demonstrating patterns that were diverse and variegated. It considers both the formal rhetoric (and sets of structures) that defined and prescribed the policing ideal as well as the experience of policing from a range of grassroots' perspectives. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, oral history interviews, and memoirs, as well as previously unused primary sources, the author identifies and explains the factors that led to not only co-operation, consensus and the building of trust, but also points of tension and conflict across a century of social, political and technological change.. Geographical coverage of both rural and urban areas (including the Highlands and Islands as well as the Glasgow conurbation). Focuses on social identities and the dynamics shaping police-community relationships across time. Contextualises Scottish experience in relation to broader comparative frameworks. Includes much content not previously covered from a Scottish perspective. The first UK study to compare the practices, cultures and repertoires of uniform policing in urban and rural areas in the 1940s-70sLouise A. Jackson is a Professor of Modern Social History at University of Edinburgh.

Explores modernist aesthetics and cultural exchange between Britain, France and beyond

'Cross-Channel Modernisms invites us to think anew about the history of connections between Britain and France - a timely and urgent project - in its transdisciplinary voyages across and between the literary, visual and musical arts. Starting from the stories of the people, objects, words and imaginaries that moved back and forth across The Channel/La Manche, the book reconfigures our understanding of transnationalism and translation in the modernist period.' Anna Snaith, King's College London Explores modernist aesthetics and cultural exchange in Britain, France and beyond Described by Katherine Mansfield in 1921 as 'a great cold sword between you and your dear love Adventure', in the early twentieth century the English Channel, or 'La Manche' in French, represented both a political and an intellectual barrier between European avant-gardism and British restraint, and a bridge for cultural connection and aesthetic innovation. Organised around key terms 'Translating', 'Fashioning' and 'Mediating', this book presents ten original essays by scholars working on both sides of the Channel. Cross-Channel Modernisms historicises artistic exchanges in Britain, France and beyond and proposes a rich conceptual apparatus of 'crossings' and 'channels' through which we can read modernism and understand it as emerging from, and intervening in, an always-already shifting, multivalent, international context.

Presents a new way to categorize Englishes around the globe This book brings together two types of varieties of English that have so far been treated separately: postcolonial and non-postcolonial Englishes. It examines these varieties of English against the backdrop of current World Englishes theorizing, with a special focus on the extra- and Intra-Territorial Forces (EIF) Model. Bringing together a range of distinguished researchers in the field, each chapter tests the validity of this new model, analyses a different variety of English and assesses it in relation to current models of World Englishes. In doing so, the book ends the long-standing conceptual gap between postcolonial and non-postcolonial Englishes and integrates these in a unified framework of World Englishes. Case studies examine English(es) in England, Namibia, the United Arab Emirates, India, Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Australia, North America, the Bahamans, Trinidad, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena, Bermuda, and the Falkland Islands, Ireland, Gibraltar and Ghana.

Ever since his first feature film I Killed My Mother premiered at Cannes, every film from the 29-year-old director Xavier Dolan has generated significant critical interest. A recipient of numerous awards, Dolan has recently taken his career to an international level with The Death and Life of John F. Donovan. As the first book-length study about Dolan, with case studies of key films like Mommy (2014), Tom at the Farm (2013) and It's Only the End of the World (2016), this volume explores the global reach of small national and subnational cinemas. In particular, it uses Dolan's cinema as a departure point to reconsider the position of Québec film and cultural imaginary within a global cinematic culture, as well as the intersections between national, millennial and queer filmmaking.Andrée Lafontaine is Assistant Professor of Anglophone Literature and Culture at the University of Tsukuba (Japan).

'The Other Hollywood Renaissance is an extraordinary volume which testifies to the incredible richness of 1970s cinema. These 23 concise, eloquent and keenly insightful auteurist essays, expertly assembled, recover and re-examine the considerable achievements of a wide array of directors, ranging from the highly esteemed and well-known (Sidney Lumet, Mike Nichols and Terrence Malick) to the highly neglected (John Boorman, Elaine May and Alan Rudolph). Like the best critics, these authors compel us to watch the films anew with a fresh appreciation of their directors' work.'Matthew Bernstein, Emory CollegeIn the late 1960s, the collapse of the classic Hollywood studio system led in part, and for less than a decade, to a production trend heavily influenced by the international art cinema. Reflecting a new self-consciousness in the US about the national film patrimony, this period is known as the Hollywood Renaissance. However, critical study of the period is generally associated with its so-called principal auteurs, slighting a number of established and emerging directors who were responsible for many of the era's most innovative and artistically successful releases.With contributions from leading film scholars, this book provides a revisionist account of this creative resurgence by discussing and memorializing twenty-four directors of note who have not yet been given a proper place in the larger history of the period. Including filmmakers such as Hal Ashby, John Frankenheimer, Mike Nichols, and Joan Micklin Silver, this more expansive approach to the auteurism of the late 1960s and 1970s seems not only appropriate but pressing - a necessary element of the re-evaluation of 'Hollywood' with which cinema studies has been preoccupied under the challenges posed by the emergence and flourishing of new media.Dominic Lennard is a Teaching Fellow in the Pre-Degree Programs at the University of Tasmania.
