Judith Butler
JUDITH BUTLER (1956) es una figura incómoda, a veces incomprendida y otras mal interpretada y aun instrumentalizada como diana de la polémica en el ámbito de campañas ideológicas, empezando por cuanto atañe a las cuestiones de género y la teoría crítica. Transitar los principales caminos de su pensamiento, como propone el presente volumen, nos ayuda a desvelar la riqueza y la complejidad del itinerario intelectual de la filósofa estadounidense, intensamente entregada a una labor que tiende a crear condiciones concretas de vida para todas las personas a partir de una concepción «radical» de la igualdad. La colección MUJERES Y PENSAMIENTO POLÍTICO ofrece una serie de estudios dedicados a pensadoras y teóricas de la política, fruto de recientes investigaciones confiadas a estudiosas y estudiosos de la disciplina, con el objetivo de paliar la falta de reconocimiento femenino en el canon del pensamiento político contemporáneo.

Legal Feminism
The volume offers an overview of the theories and practices of Italian legal feminism, presenting both the main themes addressed and the main protagonists of Italian feminist legal theory. The book is divided into two parts. The first is dedicated to deepening crucial issues that directly concern women’s knowledge and lives from a feminist perspective, such as the interconnection between law, rights and justice; diversity, difference and equality; sex, sexuality and reproduction; citizenship and borders; deviance, criminal matters and security; and victims, victimology, and vulnerability. Each set of thematic issues is analysed by a current Italian feminist legal scholar, who engages with ...
Green Cities, Governance and the Law
This book focusses on the developing role that the city currently plays in dealing with the effects of climate change and the instruments that can be utilised to make them truly green. Cities are at the centre of European directives aimed at tackling climate change, representing a key part of the European Green Deal and the National Recovery and Resilience Plans. As such, they provide valuable case studies for other countries grappling with how to address sustainability issues. This book is divided into three parts, with the first analysing Green urban planning and local governments in the European framework. The second examines various thematic aspects relating to this intersection, looking...
Seaweeds Secondary Metabolites

Biopolitics and Structure in Legal Education
Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical terms, this book provides a critical and political analysis of structure in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer, making the journey from lay-person to expert, from student to practitioner. To pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to recognise the tensions surrounding this journey, but also to recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject engages, and is engaged by, a particular structure—and here the particular structure of the law school. This book explores that structure by addressing the characteristics of the bio...

Between Care and Justice
Elena Pulcini (1950–2021), an internationally renowned philosopher of care, was at the forefront of thinking and creating a new ethical framework to respond efficaciously to problems that affect individuals at a global level. This translation of Pulcini's last work addresses perhaps the two fundamental questions for our times—namely, "Why care for others when we are not bound by personal relationships?" and "Why commit to justice even when it does not personally affect us?" By focusing on passions such as indignation, fear, compassion, resentment, and love, Pulcini offers an alternative ethical perspective in which justice and care intertwine to supplement and balance each other.
