This book offers a biopolitical analysis of J. K. Rowling’s globally-known Harry Potter series, including Jack Thorne and John Tiffany’s stage production of Rowling’s story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016). It indicates that modern children’s fantasy school stories both perpetuate power inequalities as an effective dispositif of bioengineering, and simultaneously provide a political dissident perspective to power relations through an impossible fantasy world parallel to the real one. It applies Michel Foucault’s biopolitical analytics, referring to his key works to reveal that race and class are used interactively as an agent for the exercise of biopower, in addition to Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s rereading of Foucauldian biopolitics and biopower, introducing the concepts of “multitude,” “the common,” and “the Empire” to decipher the relationship between power and resistance besides the types and results of resistance in relation to biopolitics and biopower. As such, the book will appeal to undergraduates, academics, and all readers interested in modern fantasy works and school stories as well as critical theories, including those of Foucault and Hardt and Negri, particularly biopolitical analytics.

"Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture, and Arts" explores the tapestry of violence across diverse forms of artistic expression, expertly edited by Sümeyra Buran, Mahinur Akşehir, Neslihan Köroğlu, and Barış Ağır. From the gripping introduction to the thought-provoking chapters contributed by an array of scholars, this collection navigates the multifaceted dimensions of violence. Muhsin Yanar's exploration of Don DeLillo's work calls for a posthumanist stance against violence, while Begüm Tuğlu Atamer questions the justification of violence in Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus." The anthology expands its reach, examining slow violence in John Burnside's "Glister" (Derya Biderci Dinç), portraying environmental violence in Bilge Karasu's "Hurt Me Not" (Özlem Akyol), and unraveling psychological violence in Kate Chopin's stories (Senem Üstün Kaya). Contributors delve into theatre violence (Gamze Şentürk Tatar), indigenous struggles against violence in Cheran, Mexico (Kristy L. Masten), and the complex interplay of power in Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" (Şebnem Düzgün). The anthology also explores the contested space of the Black queer body (Taylor Ajowele Duckett), Nietzschean aggression (Yunus Tuncel), and various forms of violence in Giovanni Verga's short stories (Simone Pettine). "Shades of Violence" emerges as an indispensable exploration of violence's nuanced manifestations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding through its diverse and insightful perspectives.

Das vorliegende Werk untersucht erstmals die Bezüge zwischen dem deutschen Recht und dem Rechtssystem in den Harry-Potter-Büchern. Es gehört damit zu der aus dem anglo-amerikanischen Rechtsraum stammenden Querschnittsdisziplin "Law and Literature". Literarische Werke erschaffen oftmals nicht nur neue fiktive Rechtssysteme, sondern setzten sich häufig auch kritisch mit gesellschaftlichen Problemen auseinander – beides geschieht auf ganz besondere Art und Weise in der Buchreihe von J.K. Rowling. Rowling selbst schafft es wie kaum eine andere Person, eine Welt zu erdenken, die über ein vollständiges politisches System verfügt und nach ihren ganz eigenen Regeln funktioniert. An der Spitze dieser magischen Welt steht das Zaubereiministerium, eine kafkaeske Behörde mit einem aufgeblasenen Bürokratieapparat, die für viel Unrecht verantwortlich ist. Es gelten eigene Gesetze – wie beispielsweise das "Zaubereiverbot Minderjähriger" oder das "Internationale Geheimhaltungsabkommen", aber auch Gesetze, die Minderheiten wie bspw. Kobolde gezielt diskriminieren. Als Gericht fungiert ein mit Laien besetztes Gremium, der Zaubergamot. Es stellt sich also die Frage: Was sind das für Gesetze, an die sich alle Hexen und Zauberer halten müssen? Welche Besonderheiten gibt es insbesondere im magischen Strafrecht im Vergleich zu unserer Rechtsordnung? Jannina Schäffer begibt sich auf eine fantastische Spurensuche und stellt erstmals das Rechtssystem der Harry-Potter-Welt umfassend dar. Im Rahmen einer rechtsvergleichenden Analyse stellt sie das deutsche Recht dem Recht der Zauberer gegenüber. Dabei bezieht sie auch das historische NS-(Un-)Recht von 1933 bis 1945 in ihre Betrachtung mit ein, denn Parallelen zwischen der Machtergreifung Adolf Hitlers und dem Aufstieg Lord Voldemorts sind in der Literaturwissenschaft allgemein anerkannt. Ein Schwerpunkt des Werks liegt auf dem materiellen und prozessualen Strafrecht sowie der Untersuchung, inwiefern das historische und fiktive (Un-)Recht beiden Diktatoren zur Macht verhalf.

Foucault and the Government of Disability is the first book-length investigation of the relevance and importance of the ideas of Michel Foucault to the field of disability studies-and vice versa. Over the last thirty years, politicized conceptions of disability have precipitated significant social change, including the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, the redesign of urban landscapes, the appearance of closed-captioning on televisions, and the growing recognition that disabled people constitute a marginalized and disenfranchised constituency. The provocative essays in this volume respond to Foucault's call to question what is regarded as natural, inevitable, ethical, and liberating, while they challenge established understandings of Foucault's analyses and offer fresh approaches to his work. The book's roster of distinguished international contributors represents a broad range of disciplines and perspectives, making this a timely and necessary addition to the burgeoning field of disability studies.

In this selective overview of scholarship generated by The Hunger Games—the young adult dystopian fiction and film series which has won popular and critical acclaim—Zhange Ni showcases various investigations into the entanglement of religion and the arts in the new millennium. Ni introduces theories, methods, and the latest developments in the study of religion in relation to politics, audio/visual art, new media, material culture, and popular culture, whilst also reading The Hunger Games as a story that explores the variety, complexity, and ambiguity of enchantment. In popular texts such as this, religion and art—both broadly construed, that is, beyond conventional boundaries—converge in creating an enchantment that makes life more bearable and effects change in the world.

In the heated debates over identity politics, few theorists have looked carefully at the conceptualizations of identity assumed by all sides. Visible Identities fills this gap. Drawing on both philosophical sources as well as theories and empirical studies in the social sciences, Martín Alcoff makes a strong case that identities are not like special interests, nor are they doomed to oppositional politics, nor do they inevitably lead to conformism, essentialism, or reductive approaches to judging others. Identities are historical formations and their political implications are open to interpretation. But identities such as race and gender also have a powerful visual and material aspect that eliminativists and social constructionists often underestimate. Visible Identities offers a careful analysis of the political and philosophical worries about identity and argues that these worries are neither supported by the empirical data nor grounded in realistic understandings of what identities are. Martín Alcoff develops a more realistic characterization of identity in general through combining phenomenological approaches to embodiment with hermeneutic concepts of the interpretive horizon. Besides addressing the general contours of social identity, Martín Alcoff develops an account of the material infrastructure of gendered identity, compares and contrasts gender identities with racialized ones, and explores the experiential aspects of racial subjectivity for both whites and non-whites. In several chapters she looks specifically at Latino identity as well, including its relationship to concepts of race, the specific forms of anti-Latino racism, and the politics of mestizo or hybrid identity.
