CONTINENTAL THEORY BUFFALO revisits, reassesses, and reclaims the legacy of May ’68 for a moment of cultural and historical emergency. As the inaugural volume in the Humanities to the Rescue series, this collaborative work shows how philosophy, literature, and cultural criticism can still run interference against instrumentalist logic and predatory structures shaping our present.

NIAGARAS OF INK brings four centuries of writing on Niagara Falls into fresh focus—where lands are contested, industry debated, freedom harbored, spirits lifted, and fame won. Blending previously untold anecdotes of famous writers with an anthology of compelling Anglo-American texts from the 19th to early 20th centuries, Jamie M. Carr invites readers to encounter Niagara as a site of culture, history, and literary imagination.

How have experimental filmmakers across the Luso-Hispanic Atlantic reimagined cinema—from Super 8 and VHS to VR and AI?

Eduardo Ledesma offers a comprehensive account of experimental cinemas in Latin America and Spain, tracing alternative film formats from the militant cinemas of the 1960s to today’s expanded-reality practices. Spanning Argentina, Spain, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico, EXPANDING CINEMAS explores how filmmakers used noncommercial technologies to engage global avant-gardes while responding to histories of diaspora, exile, and displacement.

ROMANTIC IMMANENCE offers a bold, Spinozist framework for rethinking encounters with otherness in Romantic literature—not as the sublime or Gothic, but as embodied, immanent experiences of raw reality.

Drawing on Coleridge, Dorothy Wordsworth, Shelley, Schelling, and Schlegel, Elizabeth A. Fay reveals how immanence shaped Romantic aesthetics during an era of social and political upheaval—and why it still matters today.

What happens to the world after someone dies?

In A DEATH OF THE WORLD, Harris B. Bechtol offers a powerful phenomenological account of survival after loss—where death is not only the loss of another, but the loss of a shared world. Drawing Derrida into conversation with Heidegger, Levinas, Marion, Blanchot, and Romano, alongside poetry, literature, and trauma studies, Bechtol rethinks death as an event that transforms space, time, and meaning itself.

How does breath shape literary form?

POETICS OF BREATHING offers a comparative study of breath and breathing as a core poetic and compositional principle in modern literature. Through close readings of Kerouac & Ginsberg, Musil & Woolf, Beckett & Plath, and Celan & Müller, Stefanie Heine explores how pauses, rhythms, inhalations, and cessations operate at the limits of meaningful speech—revealing literature’s reflection on its own mediality, production, and reception.

The Whole World Goes to Hunter: Creating a Culture of Excellence and Activism, 1870–1964 celebrates the tens of thousands of women who attended Hunter College from 1870–1964 and contributed massively to the city that educated them.

"This book is exhaustively researched and lovingly presented with the care of a scholar and with the respect and admiration of someone who believes in the mission and values of the Hunter College community. In the process of storytelling, Laura Schor captures the spirit of the College and the women who studied, taught, and led at Hunter." — Elsa M.

How does fashion shape modernity—and how does modernity, in turn, shape what we wear?

FASHION, MODERNITY, AND MATERIALITY IN FRANCE brings together French humanities scholarship to examine fashion, materiality, and modern life from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Drawing on literature, art, decorative objects, fashion magazines, newspapers, theater, and advertising, the volume reveals clothing as a powerful archive of memory, identity, conflict, and desire.
