Women Walking : FREEDOM, ADVENTURE, INDEPENDENCE
This elegant survey of more than 60 works of art chronicles the nascent liberation when women began to walk freely by themselves in public. At the close of the eighteenth century, women began to discover a new sense of freedom, adventure, and self-determination, simply by walking in public unaccompanied.Previously, solitary walks by women were considered unseemly.An unaccompanied hike in the country was beyond imagination; to promenade by oneself on city boulevards was unthinkable.This book features evocative paintings of women doing just that, by a range of artists, from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, among them British portraitist Thomas Gainsborough, the scandalous Gustave Courbet, Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte, American masters Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent, and Nabi artist Felix Vallotton.With paintings as her guide, Karin Sagner takes us on a visual journey through this vital yet oft-overlooked aspect of women's emancipation, from the promenades of the nobility to everyday walks in the city, on gentle strolls in the country or hikes up mountain summits.Quotes by luminaries like the Marquise de Sevigne, Jane Austen, and Simone de Beauvoir gracefully support her points. A thoughtful gift for graduates, teachers, or Mother's Day, this subtle but profound book is not only an illuminating history but a beautiful art historical survey and an inspirational guide.

Intellectual Freedom and the Culture Wars
This book offers a sustained and vigorous defence of free expression and objective enquiry situated in the context of the current culture wars.In the spirit of J. S. Mill, Benn investigates objections to the ideal of free expression in relation to harm and offence, reaching broadly liberal conclusions with reference to recent examples of attempts to curb free speech on university campuses.Accepting that some expressions can cause non-physical harm, Benn also considers objections to free speech based on certain understandings of power and privilege. In its exploration and rejection of arguments against the possibility of obtaining objective truth, the book navigates hotly contested fields of contemporary debate, including feminism and identity politics.It challenges the dogma of social constructionism and examines current notions of identity, arguing that a case for fairness can be made without appealing to them.Offering a qualified endorsement of friendship between ideological opponents, Benn highlights common obstacles to civil and rational discussions, concluding with a rational, moral, and broadly spiritual solution to the cultural combat that monopolises present-day society.

Kant on Freedom and Human Nature
The essays in this volume provide new readings of Kant’s account of human nature. Despite the relevance of human nature to Kant’s philosophy, little attention has been paid to the fact that the question about human nature originally pertains to pure reason.The chapters in this volume show that Kant’s point is not to state once and for all what the human being actually is, but to unite pure reason’s efforts within a unitary teleological perspective.The question about human nature is the cornerstone of reason’s unity in its different activities and domains.Kant’s question about human nature goes beyond our empirical inquiries to show that the notion of humanity represents the point of convergence and unity of pure reason’s most fundamental interests. Kant on Freedom and Human Nature will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on Kant’s philosophy.

Decolonising Pastoral : Semiotic Freedom in Literature and Culture
This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of pastoral, a genre that has captured the Western imagination for centuries, across literature, art and music.Combining the practices of literary criticism and creative writing, Decolonising Pastoral develops a new series of tools for the project of the environmental humanities.With an emphasis on subjectivity and experience, essays and fictocriticism are woven with scholarship and stories to create a fresh critical framework.Six chapters focus on laying out a new synthetic methodology, taking readers on a journey across literary genres, forms and modes, to explore nature both as an organic totality that encompasses mind and matter, and as a source of cultural expression and production.Beginning with an introduction to biosemiotics, the text progresses onto the blue humanities, synthetic criticism and metrics for decolonising pastoral, before uniting the threads together.It discusses works from diverse writers such as Thea Astley, Judith Wright, Ted Banfield, Xavier Herbert, Alexis Wright, Sylvia Plath, T.S.Eliot, Seamus Heaney, W.H. Auden, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth, William Blake, John Milton and William Shakespeare. This ambitious and experimental methodology, developing where creative writing and literary criticism meet, will be an important read for scholars, researchers and students interested in literature, ecology, environmental studies and language.
