Crime, Inequality and Power
Crime, Inequality and Powerchallenges the dominant definitions of crime and the criminal through its uniquely comparative approach.

Double Jeopardy
Murder fascinates readers, and when a woman murders, that fascination is compounded. The paradox of mother, lover, or wife as killer fills us with shock.

The strongest evidence of their view is that the novelists make the women's victims deserve their ...
Audiovisual Posthumanism
This volume deals with the challenges posthumanism meets as a successor to postmodernism in the field of artistic, literary and aesthetic expression. It also explores the ways social sciences and humanities are affected by posthumanism, and it asks how posthumanism can be an expansion of humanism in the contemporary world, rather than a transcendence of humanism. The chapters’ authors come from different countries, cultural backgrounds and study areas to present a varied perspective on posthumanism.
