Mars: The Law of Insolvency in South Africa has established itself
as a specialist work that has for decades been the guide for anyone
who practices in this important area of law. The tenth edition of
Mars: The Law of Insolvency has been revised by a team of eleven
authors to include developments in the law of insolvency and
associated areas of the law to give readers an up-to-date treatment
of this important area of law. While retaining the proven structure
of the previous editions, this edition aims at dealing
comprehensively with all aspects of insolvency law. The latest
edition retains references to landmark cases and articles in legal
journals but also incorporates numerous new references to critical
analyses of applicable legislation, case law, insolvency law reform
initiatives and international developments in the field of
insolvency law, enabling the reader to gain a proper understanding
of the principles underlying the South African law of insolvency.
Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities,
Reckonings comprises an array of essays, poems, and interviews, and
over 50 images from artists and writers including Angela Y. Davis,
Theaster Gates, Vijay Iyer, Isaac Julien, George E. Lewis, Sarah
Elizabeth Lewis, Meleko Mokgosi, Wangechi Mutu, Nell Painter, Kevin
Quashie, Claudia Rankine, Paul C. Taylor, Kara Walker, and Mabel O.
Wilson. The stellar contributors practice Black aesthetics by
engaging intersectionally with class, queer sexuality, female
embodiment, dance vocabularies, coloniality, Afrodiasporic music,
Black post-soul art, Afropessimism, and more. Black aesthetics thus
restores aesthetics to its full potential by encompassing all forms
of sensation and imagination in art, culture, design, everyday
life, and nature and by creating new ways of reckoning with
experience, identity, and resistance. Highlighting wide-ranging
forms of Black aesthetics across the arts, culture, and theory,
Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities,
Reckonings provides an unprecedented view of a field enjoying a
global resurgence. Black aesthetics materializes in communities of
artists, activists, theorists, and others who critique racial
inequities, create new forms of interiority and relationality,
uncover affective histories, and develop strategies for social
justice.
Prison Writing and the Literary World tackles international prison
writing and writing about imprisonment in relation to questions of
literary representation and formal aesthetics, the “value” or
“values” of literature, textual censorship and circulation,
institutional networks and literary-critical methodologies. It
offers scholarly essays exploring prison writing in relation to
wartime internment, political imprisonment, resistance and
independence creation, regimes of terror, and personal narratives
of development and awakening that grapple with race, class and
gender. Cutting across geospatial divides while drawing on nation-
and region-specific expertise, it asks readers to connect the
questions, examples and challenges arising from prison writing and
writing about imprisonment within the UK and the USA, but also
across continental Europe, Stalinist Russia, the Americas, Africa
and the Middle East. It also includes critical reflection pieces
from authors, editors, educators and theatre practitioners with
experience of the fraught, testing and potentially inspiring links
between prison and the literary world.

Fields, Capitals, Habitus provides an insightful analysis of the
relations between culture and society in contemporary Australia.
Presenting the findings of a detailed national survey of Australian
cultural tastes and practices, it demonstrates the pivotal
significance of the role culture plays at the intersections of a
range of social divisions and inequalities: between classes, age
cohorts, ethnicities, genders, city and country, and the relations
between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The book looks
first at how social divisions inform the ways in which Australians
from different social backgrounds and positions engage with the
genres, institutions and particular works of culture and cultural
figures across six cultural fields: the visual arts, literature,
music, heritage, television and sport. It then examines how
Australians' cultural preferences across these fields interact
within the Australian 'space of lifestyles'. The close attention
paid to class here includes an engagement with role of 'middlebrow'
cultures in Australia and the role played by new forms of
Indigenous cultural capital in the emergence of an Indigenous
middle class. The rich survey data is complemented throughout by
in-depth qualitative data provided by interviews with survey
participants. These are discussed more closely in the final part of
the book which explores the gendered, political, personal and
community associations of cultural tastes across Australia's
Anglo-Celtic, Italian, Lebanese, Chinese and Indian populations.
The distinctive ethical issues associated with how Australians
relate to Indigenous culture are also examined. In the light it
throws on the formations of cultural capital in a multicultural
settler colonial society, Fields, Capitals, Habitus makes a
landmark contribution to cultural capital research.
