Creolizing the Modern
How are modernity, coloniality, and interimperiality
entangled? Bridging the humanities and social sciences,
Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă provide innovative decolonial
perspectives that aim to creolize modernity and the modern
world-system. Historical Transylvania, at the intersection of the
Habsburg Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary, and Russia,
offers the platform for their multi-level reading of the main
themes in Liviu Rebreanu's 1920 novel Ion . Topics range
from the question of the region's capitalist integration to
antisemitism and the enslavement of Roma to multilingualism, gender
relations, and religion. Creolizing the Modern develops a
comparative method for engaging with areas of the world that have
inherited multiple, conflicting imperial and anti-imperial
histories.

Extreme pursuits
Recent figures suggest that there will be 1.6 billion arrivals at world airports by the year 2020. Extreme Pursuits looks at the new conditions of global travel and the unease, even paranoia, that underlies them—at the opportunities they offer for alternative identities and their oscillation between remembered and anticipated states. Graham Huggan offers a provocative account of what is happening to travel at a time characterized by extremes of social and political instability in which adrenaline-filled travelers appear correspondingly determined to take risks. It includes discussions of the links between tourism and terrorism, of contemporary modes of disaster tourism, and of the writing that derives from these; but it also confirms the existence of more responsible forms of travel/writing that demonstrate awareness of a chronically endangered world.
