Feminist Animal Studies
This book explores human–animal relations and species-based domination at the intersection of feminism with critique of our domination and exploitation of nonhuman animals, in conversation with power dynamics around coloniality and race, class, sexuality and embodiment. The collection demonstrates the continued vital importance of feminism – conceptually and theoretically, methodologically and politically – to the development of animal studies. Feminism has made an incisive critique of the ways in which gender and other intersecting differences and inequalities are constitutive of our destructive, exploitative and often violent relationships with nonhuman worlds. An international group...
Pracademics in Criminal Justice

Arranged into three comprehensive sections, the book acknowledges the contribution pracademics make to criminal justice, conceptualises pracademia in the criminal justice context and explores what it means to be a pracademic in the criminal justice setting. Exploring the theoretical, methodological, philosophical, practice and pedagogic value that practical application brings to teaching, learning and research, the book collectively develops a pracadem...

Feminist Peace Research
This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the field of gender, feminism and peace. It is based on the argument that feminist thinking is necessary to understand and analyse the core issues in peace and conflict studies and is fundamental to thinking about solutions to global problems and to promoting peaceful conflict transformation. The book centres alternative and critical approaches missing in mainstream peace research and brings forward feminist perspectives on traditional peace research topics such as militarism, peacekeeping, arms trade and the articulation of different forms of violence. It also advances critical and alternative issues and topics that traditional peace resear...
Animal Entanglements
This book provides an insight into the everyday lives and experiences of people who live with dogs as companions; and glimpses aspects of the lives of the dogs who share their homes. It is framed sociologically and as such, considers the various forms of power relations which shape the lives of those kept as pets and their human owners. In recounting stories of companion humans and dogs, the co-constituted quality of life is clear. However, while dogs – as agential beings with needs, desires and a point of view – are able to shape outcomes and change aspects of their lived experience, the world they inhabit is profoundly geared to human inhabitants; and the most privileged ones at that. ...
TRANSPOSITIONES 2024 Vol. 3, Issue 2: Queer Animalities
This issue explores two distinct yet deeply interconnected areas of academic debate – animal studies and queer studies. The concept of queer ecology has gained a growing interest in the academia, highlighting the importance of intersectional understanding of ecological, multi-species and sexual exclusions and entanglements. The authors gathered in this issue engage with the connections between animalities and queerness in a way that casts a new light on these concepts. They do so in a variety of ways in which entanglements between them may occur while providing in-depth, theoretical analyses of what implications arise from bringing them under one umbrella.
Tiere und Geschlecht
In diesem Band von Tierstudien geht es um die verschiedenen Ebenen der vergeschlechtlichten Beziehung von Menschen zu anderen Tieren, aber auch anderer Tiere untereinander. Die Autor*innen untersuchen, inwieweit sich Konzepte der Gender-Theorie eignen, um die Performativität von Geschlecht in tierlichen und tierbezogenen Praktiken, die diese als männliche und weibliche Aktivitäten darstellen, herauszuarbeiten. Ein Aspekt, der befragt wird, ist, inwiefern Tiere nicht nur ein Geschlecht, sondern auch gender haben, das in diesen Praktiken ebenfalls hergestellt wird. Geschlecht im Sinne von sex bestimmt häufig darüber, welchen Tieren Menschen erlauben, sich fortzupflanzen. Das ganze Feld de...
Domestic Violence
This book presents a variety of socio-legal perspectives on issues of domestic violence and abuse. Focussing on contemporary research and practice developments in policing, law, statutory and voluntary sectors, the contributors to this volume cover a vast spectrum of initiatives and professional expertise concerned variably with protection, prevention and intervention priorities. The challenges of “joined up” thinking across these perspectives are apparent as the varied definitions, underpinning ideologies, terminologies, the profile of the victim/survivor’s voice and identified gaps in service provision appearing in this book illustrate. As a reflection on the current economic climate, some of the perspectives presented necessarily compete rather than complement each other, an issue the volume highlights and addresses. Achieving a broader understanding of these issues and insights into a range of activity in this context is vital for both the practitioner and academic alike, whatever their perspective./div
Pratiche conservative sullo scavo archeologico. Principi e metodi 2° ediz.
Il volume si rivolge principalmente agli scavatori, ovvero a coloro che, di fatto, compiono materialmente lo scavo “toccando con mano” problematiche e reperti, ma anche a restauratori, e naturalmente archeologi. Tema fondamentale del testo sono infatti le pratiche conservative messe a servizio dell’archeologia, e cioè il modellare i principi della conservazione alle esigenze archeologiche, riconoscendo un ruolo trasversale alle scienze conservative rispetto alla prassi archeologica, per farle divenire sempre più realisticamente utili ed applicate. Lo scenario operativo dello scavo archeologico è complesso, caratterizzato dalla molteplicità e dalla diversità delle attività che in ...
