Scotland in Theory
Scotland in Theory offers new ways of reading Scottish texts and culture within the context of an altered political framework and a changing sense of national identity.

Cinema, Culture, Scotland
This book anthologises selected key works from the oeuvre of Colin McArthur, a pioneering figure within Anglophone Film and Scottish cultural studies since the 1960s.Collecting together thirty-seven essays written between 1966 and 2022, twenty-one of which were hitherto out-of-print, the book identifies and illustrates the central strands of scholarly interest that have defined one of British Film Studies and Scottish Cultural Studies' most influential careers: critical investigation and legitimisation of mid-twentieth-century Hollywood cinema and popular American film genres; the cinematic representation of Scotland and the gradual development of a Scottish film production sector; and Scotland's status as a distinctive visual and material cultural signifier within a diverse range of international popular cultures from the eighteenth century to the present.
This Will Not Happen Without You
"This Will Not Happen Without You is a comprehensive overview of significant and controversial artistic activity coming out of the north east of England since the mid 1970s. Taken from the Locus+ archive it extensively documents the artistic practice carried out by the organisation and its previous incarnations: The Basement Group and Projects UK. Highlighting performances by artists such as Bruce McLean, Stuart Brisley, Mona Hatoum, Alastair MacLennan and Andre Stitt, as well as projects by Richard Wilson, Stefan Gec, Chris Burden, Cornelia Hesse Honegger, Anya Gallaccio, Mark Wallinger, Simon Patterson, Nathan Coley and Layla Curtis, this lavishly illustrated publication has the critical underpinning of some of the best writers on contemporary art today. Accompanied by anecdotal texts by artists commissioned by the three organisations, This Will Not Happen Without You is an extraordinary documentation of the changing artistic, social and political landscape in contemporary art over the last three decades."--BOOK JACKET.
