Lived Moments: Phenomenology, Neorealism, and the New Wave
by Glen W. NortonFrom the everyday concerns of Umberto D to the spiritual traces of Ma nuit chez Maud, revelatory moments are intrinsic to the fabric of cinematic modernism. Lived Moments conceptualizes the path from Italian Neorealism to the French New Wave as a trajectory unique in its expressions of the indeterminacy and contingency of daily life.Drawing on film theory and criticism as well as the history of phenomenological thought, Glen Norton offers illustrative readings of cinematic scenes exemplifying this modernist evolution in canonical films by Vittorio De Sica, Roberto Rossellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, and Eric Rohmer. Norton describes how these filmmakers structure their characters’ lifeworlds via moments grounded by chance and multiplicity, each having the potential to lift the opaque veil of inwardness. Experienced in their immediacy, these moments offer the viewer glimpses of a character’s potential individuation. As such, they embody the difficult, private, and perhaps even incommunicable choices made in the midst of self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-definition.Lived Moments deepens our understanding of the history of cinematic modernism, throwing new light on the canonical movements of Neorealism and the New Wave while also demonstrating the importance of lived moments for cinema more broadly. The book stands as a model of how film analysis and film philosophy can be symbiotic rather than separate ways of thinking about cinematic experience.

The Bonds of Kinship in Dahomey: Portraits of West African Girlhood, 1720–1940
by Jessica Catherine ReutherFrom the 1720s to the 1940s, parents in the kingdom and later colony of Dahomey (now the Republic of Benin) developed and sustained the common practice of girl fostering, or "entrusting." Transferring their daughters at a young age into foster homes, Dahomeans created complex relationships of mutual obligation, kinship, and caregiving that also exploited girls' labor for the economic benefit of the women who acted as their social mothers. Drawing upon oral tradition, historic images, and collective memories, Jessica Reuther pieces together the fragmentary glimpses of girls' lives contained in colonial archives within the framework of traditional understandings about entrustment. Placing these girls and their social mothers at the center of history brings to light their core contributions to local and global political economies, even as the Dahomean monarchy, global trade, and colonial courts reshaped girlhood norms and fostering practices. Reuther reveals that the social, economic, and political changes wrought by the expansion of Dahomey in the eighteenth century; the shift to "legitimate" trade in agricultural products in the nineteenth century; and the imposition of French colonialism in the twentieth all fundamentally altered—and were altered by—the intimate practice of entrusting female children between households. Dahomeans also valorized this process as a crucial component of being "well-raised"—a sentiment that continues into the present, despite widespread Beninese opposition to modern-day forms of child labor.
Visualizing Film History: Film Archives and Digital Scholarship
by Christian Gosvig OlesenThough many archival digital objects were not "born digital," film archives are now becoming important resources for digital scholarship as a consequence of digitization. Moreover, with advancements in digital research methods involving video annotation, visual analysis, and GIS affecting the way we look at archival films' material, stylistic histories and circulation, new research practices are more important than ever.Visualizing Film History is an accessible introduction to archive-based digital scholarship in film and media studies and beyond. With a combined focus on the history of film historiography, archiving, and recent digital scholarship—covering a period from the "first wave" of film archiving in the early 1900s to recent data art—this book proposes ways to work critically with digitized archives and research methods. Christian Olesen encourages a shift towards new critical practices in the field with an in-depth assessment of and critical approach to doing film historiography with the latest digital tools and digitized archives.Olesen argues that if students, scholars and archivists are to fully realize the potential of emerging digital tools and methodologies, they must critically consider the roles that data analysis, visualization, interfaces and procedural human-machinery interactions play in producing knowledge in current film historical research. If we fail to do so, we risk losing our ability to critically navigate and renew contemporary research practices and evaluate the results of digital scholarship.
The Illegible Man: Disability and Masculinity in Twentieth-Century America
by Will KanyusikHow does the sudden onset of disability impact the sense of self in a person whose identity was, at least in part, predicated on the possession of what is culturally understood to be an "able" body? How does this experience make visible the structures enabling society's shared notions of heteronormative masculinity?In the United States, the Second World War functioned as a key moment in the emergence of modern understandings of disability, demonstrating that an increased concern with disability in the postwar period would ultimately lead to greater incoherence in the definitions and cultural meanings of disability in America. The Illegible Man examines depictions of disability in American film and literature in twentieth-century postwar contexts, beginning with the first World War and continuing through America's war in Vietnam. Will Kanyusik searches for the origin of discourse surrounding disability and masculinity after the Second World War, examining both literature and film—both fiction and documentary—their depictions of disability and masculinity, and how many of these texts were created by the relationship between the culture industry and the Office of War Information in the 1940s.Supported by original archival research, The Illegible Man presents a new understanding of disability, masculinity, and war in American culture.

Under the Nuclear Shadow: China’s Information-Age Weapons in International Security
by Fiona S. CunninghamHow and why China has pursued information-age weapons to gain leverage against its adversariesHow can states use military force to achieve their political aims without triggering a catastrophic nuclear war? Among the states facing this dilemma of fighting limited wars, only China has given information-age weapons such a prominent role. While other countries have preferred the traditional options of threatening to use nuclear weapons or fielding capabilities for decisive conventional military victories, China has instead chosen to rely on offensive cyber operations, counterspace capabilities, and precision conventional missiles to coerce its adversaries. In Under the Nuclear Shadow, Fiona Cunningham examines this distinctive aspect of China&’s post–Cold War deterrence strategy, developing an original theory of &“strategic substitution.&” When crises with the United States highlighted the inadequacy of China&’s existing military capabilities, Cunningham argues, China pursued information-age weapons that promised to rapidly provide credible leverage against adversaries.Drawing on hundreds of original Chinese-language sources and interviews with security experts in China, Cunningham provides a rare and candid glimpse from Beijing into the information-age technologies that are reshaping how states gain leverage in the twenty-first century. She offers unprecedented insights into the trajectory of China&’s military modernization, as she details the strengths and weaknesses of China&’s strategic substitution approach. Under the Nuclear Shadow also looks ahead at the uncertain future of China&’s strategic substitution approach and briefly explores too how other states might seize upon the promise of emerging technologies to address weaknesses in their own military strategies.
