Growing Up Chicago

Edited by David Schaafsma, Lauren DeJulio Bell and Roxanne Pilat

“An entertaining and touching tumble of sexual awakenings, identity quests, dangerous liaisons, early sorrows, boundary crossings, and 16-inch softball. There’s a different Chicago in each piece—the city serves as witness, backdrop, companion, solace.” —S.L. Wisenberg, author of The Adventures of Cancer Bitch

The Biopolitics of Punishment
Derrida and Foucault

Edited by Rick Elmore and Ege Selin Islekel

“This spectacular group of writers opens a vital conversation about border zones and hunger strikes; detention centers and supermax prisons; Blackness, criminality, and necropolitics. Speaking from the heart of a prison society, it teaches us how to summon a world without prisons. A must-read book.” —Lynne Huffer, author of Foucault’s Strange Eros

The Hygienic Apparatus
Weimar Cinema and Environmental Disorder

by Paul Dobryden

“In this superb reconsideration of Weimar cinema, Paul Dobryden places film at the heart of a struggle for environmental and hygienic control that is at once fascinating and unnervingly timely.” —Brian R. Jacobson, author of Studios Before the System: Architecture, Technology, and the Emergence of Cinematic Space
