The notion of modernity hinges on a break with the past, such as superstitions, medieval worlds, and hierarchical traditions. It follows that modernity suggests the disenchantment of the world, yet the processes of modernity also create their own enchantments in the mapping and making of the modern world. Straddling a range of disciplines and perspectives, the essays in this edited volume eschew programmatic solutions, focusing instead in new ways on subjects of slavery and memory, global transformations and vernacular and vernacular modernity, imperial imperatives and nationalist knowledge, cosmopolitan politics and liberal democracy, and governmental effects and everyday affects. It is in these ways that the volume attempts to unravel the enchantments of modernity, in order to approach anew modernity's constitutive terms, formative limits, and particular possibilities.

The stories encapsulated in this anthology are windows into the nomadic world—a realm where every step is a dance with the unpredictable, every encounter is a brush with the extraordinary, and every horizon is an invitation to explore the unknown. Each tale is a thread in the grand tapestry of nomadic lore, weaving together the experiences of those who have roamed the earth in search of freedom, wisdom, and the thrill of the undiscovered. As you delve into these narratives, you will traverse scorching deserts with Mirage Nomads, witness audacious archery challenges with Thunder striders, and join the rebellion with Liberation Nomads in the Unbridled Wastes. The nomads you encounter will be both familiar and foreign, embodying the diversity of cultures, landscapes, and challenges that define the nomadic way of life. The allure of nomadism lies not only in the physical landscapes explored but also in the internal odysseys undertaken by these wanderers. Nomads navigate not only the external terrains of mountains, jungles, and oceans but also the vast landscapes within themselves—their fears, aspirations, and the eternal pursuit of freedom.

Living with Strangers examines the history and cultural representation of bed-sitting rooms and boarding houses in England from the early twentieth century to the present. Providing a historical overview, the authors explore how these alternative domestic spaces came to provide shelter for a diverse demographic of working women and men, retired army officers, gay people, students, bohemians, writers, artists, performers, migrants and asylum seekers, as well as shady figures and criminals. Drawing on historical records, case studies, and examples from literature, art, and film, the book examines how the prevalence and significance of bedsits and boarding houses in novels, plays, detective stories, Ealing comedies, and contemporary fiction and film produced its own genre of narrative. The nine chapters are written by an international range of established and emerging scholars in the fields of literary studies, art and film history, political theory, queer studies and cultural studies. A lively, highly original study, Living with Strangers makes a significant contribution to the cross-disciplinary field of home studies and provides insight into a crucial aspect of British cultural history. It is essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology, history, literary studies, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, film studies and cultural studies.
