‘Foltz’s study of human waste in Ishmael Reed, Thomas Pynchon, Gloria Naylor, Don DeLillo, Jonathan Franzen, and Samuel Delany convincingly demonstrates their scatological games to be premised on contesting psychoanalytic theory’s complicity in the upholding of white hegemony, heteronormativity, and patriarchal imperialism. American Sh*t is a valuable intervention into a field that has been too quick to relegate psychoanalysis to the “scrap heap”—and a compelling example of what literary analysis that circumvents the strictures of category and genre can achieve.’ — Dr. Rachele Dini, Department of English and Creative Writing, University of Roehampton, UK Contemporary American Literature and Excremental Culture: American Sh*t analyzes post-1960 scatological novels that utilize representations of human waste to address pressing issues, including pollution of waterways, environmental racism, and militarism. Primarily examining postmodern parody, the book shows the value of aesthetic renderings of sanitary engineering for composting ideologies that fuel a ruinous impact on the world. Drawing on late twentieth-century psychoanalytic thinkers Norman O. Brown, Frantz Fanon, and Leo Bersani, American Sh*t shows the continued relevance of psychoanalytic interpretations of contemporary fiction for understanding post-45 authors’ engagement with waste. Ultimately, the monograph reveals how novelists Ishmael Reed, Jonathan Franzen, Gloria Naylor, Don DeLillo, and Samuel R. Delany critique subjects who abnegate their status as waste-producing beings and bring readers back to embrace Winner of the 2019 Northeast Modern Language Association Book Award for Literary Criticism of English Language Literature.

"In this comprehensive and up to date history, from prehistoric proto-Indo-Iranian times to the post-Soviet period, Richard Foltz traces the complex linguistic, cultural and political history of the Tajiks, a Persian-speaking Iranian ethnic group from the modern-day Central Asian states of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. In eight chapters, the author explores the revitalisation of Persian culture under the Samanid Empire in the Tajik heartlands of historical Khorasan and Transoxiana; analyses the evolution of the politics of Tajik identity; and traces the history of the ethnic Tajik diaspora today."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Global Orthopedics: Caring for Musculoskeletal Conditions and Injuries in Austere Settings was conceived and written to be a unique reference for surgeons working in resource-limited environments. The first sections provide historical background, global public health perspectives of orthopedics, the role of culture, and a broad discussion of non-surgical and non-orthopedic clinical topics that are rarely encountered in high-resource settings but that affect orthopedic care. Adult and pediatric trauma are presented in an anatomical format for easy reference, with a focus on the natural history and the best treatment methods within existing limitations. The chapters on musculoskeletal infections provide a wealth of knowledge about these common debilitating conditions that is unavailable in any other single modern text. The non-infectious pediatric conditions section has been written for the non-specialist to handle selected developmental and early childhood orthopedic problems commonly seen in low-resource settings. Detailed chapters on reconstruction surgery, tumor management, amputations, and the orthopedic needs in the face of conflicts and natural disasters round out the text.

L'empoisonneuse, sinistre et redoutable, femme de l'ombre, sournoise et habile, hante l'imaginaire des sociétés depuis l'Antiquité. Chaque époque invente des personnages dont les gestes sèment l'effroi et prennent place dans la mémoire collective. Mais la figure de l'empoisonneuse, à la croisée des récits historiques et littéraires, des documents judiciaires et de la fiction, du passé et du présent, apparaît à la fois immobile et différente et surtout beaucoup plus complexe que ce que l'on pouvait supposer. Pour en dresser le portrait et saisir la place qu'elle occupe, comprendre la production des images et leur circulation, il convenait, dans le présent ouvrage, de mobiliser des études portant sur le corps, la criminalité, le genre et leurs représentations. Les empoisonneuses nécessitent de faire appel à des disciplines diverses dans le temps long, de l'Antiquité à nos jours, afin de se demander comment et pourquoi des stéréotypes, qui tendent à faire du poison une arme du féminin et de l'empoisonneuse un poncif de l'imaginaire de la femme coupable, ont été construits, transmis, adaptés et amplifiés jusqu'au XXIe siècle. Les portraits anonymes ont souvent été rejetés dans la pénombre par quelques figures illustres qui ont retenu toute l'attention. Pourtant Circé ou Cléopâtre, les reines ou les sorcières médiévales, les élégantes et les domestiques de l'époque moderne, ont bien plus en commun qu'on ne l'imagine avec les empoisonneuses des campagnes ou les grandes criminelles contemporaines que la chronique judiciaire a régulièrement présentées aux lecteurs puis aux spectateurs. Mais la vénéneuse, si elle renseigne sur la criminalité des femmes et la logique des gestes, informe aussi sur la peur ou le mal-être d'une société d'hommes qui se complait à rejeter les empoisonneuses du côté du féminin hors norme et de l'éternelle femme coupable.
