Fiction, Crime, and Empire
Reading fiction from high and low culture together, Fiction, Crime, and Empire skillfully sheds light on how crime fiction responded to the British and American experiences of empire, and how forms such as the detective novel, spy thrillers, and conspiracy fiction articulate powerful cultural responses to imperialism. Poe's Dupin stories, for example, are seen as embodying a highly critical vision of the social forces that were then transforming the United States into a modern, democratic industrialized nation; a century later, Le Carré employs the conventions of espionage fiction to critique the exhausted and morally compromised values of British imperialism. By exploring these works through the organizing figure of crime during and after the age of high imperialism, Thompson challenges and modifies commonplace definitions of modernism, postmodernism, and popular or mass culture.
The Collected Writings of Jon Thompson
This volume brings together the collected writings of British artist, writer and professor Jon Thompson. As a teacher of artists, Thompson is credited as one of the most influential of his generation. He began writing in the late 1970s, and unlike much of the previous critical writings on academic art history, Thompson's careful research, depth of historical knowledge and insight into an artist's work and approach was quickly recognised as authoritative, fresh and exciting. Thompson taught at Goldsmiths College, London, Middlesex University and Jan van Eyck Academie, The Netherlands, writing influential essays on a wide range of artists including his former students Richard Deacon, Steve McQueen and Mark Wallinger.

No Debate
During 2008-2009, Israel lobby organizations made concerted efforts to block a planned conference on statehood for Israel and Palestine at Toronto's York University.

Controversy began at York soon after the Israel-Palestine conference was advertised, and intensified over the following months. The event was repeatedly denounced, and university administrators were deluged by irate e-mails and phone calls. York, as the host univers...
