Animals in the Sociologies of Westermarck and Durkheim
This book explores why animals, at some point, disappeared from the realm and scope of sociology. The role of sociology in the construction of a science of the ‘human’ has been substantial, building representations of the human sphere of life as unique. Within the sociological tradition however, animals have often been invisible, even non-existent. Through in-depth comparisons of the texts of prominent early sociologists Emile Durkheim and Edward Westermarck, Tuomivaara shows that despite this exclusion, representations of animals and human-animal relations were far more varied in early works than in the later sociological cannon. Addressing a significant gap in the interdisciplinary fie...
Museum of Nonhumanity
Museum of Nonhumanity is the catalogue for a full-size touring museum that presents the history of the distinction between humans and animals, and the way that this artificial boundary has been used to oppress human and nonhuman beings over long historical periods. Throughout history, declaring a group to be nonhuman or subhuman has been an effective tool for justifying slavery, oppression, medical experimentation, genocide, and other forms of violence against those deemed "other." Conversely, differentiating humans from other species has paved the way for the abuse of natural resources and other animals. Museum of Nonhumanity approaches animalization as a nexus that connects xenophobia, sexism, racism, transphobia, and the abuse of nature and other animals. The touring museum hosts lecture programs in which local civil rights and animal rights organizations, academics, artists, and activists propose paths to a more inclusive society through intersectional approaches. The museum also hosts a pop-up book shop and a vegan café. As a temporary, utopian institution, Museum of Nonhumanity stands as a monument to the call to make animalization history.
The Climate Crisis and Other Animals
The Climate Crisis and Other Animals is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet and the animals who live on it. Twine examines the impact of the climate crisis on nonhuman animals and argues for the importance of a climate and food justice movement inclusive of nonhuman animals. The book examines the ways in which climate breakdown is affecting nonhuman animal species and delves deeply into the politicised controversy over the extent of emissions from animal agriculture, demonstrating the markedly lower emissions of eating vegan. Critical of misguided human-centred framings of the climate crisis, Twine makes clear the necessity of including practices of animal commodi...
Feminist Animal and Multispecies Studies: Critical Perspectives on Food and Eating
This book develops critical feminist animal and multispecies studies across various societal and environmental contexts. The chapters discuss timely questions broadly related to food and eating, stemming from connections drawn between critical animal studies, feminist theory, and multispecies studies. The themes explored include trans-inclusive ecofeminism, decolonial perspectives to veganism, links between the critique of ableism and animal exploitation, alternatives to dominant Western masculinities invested in meat consumption, and the politics of sex and purity in factory farming. The book explores responses to interlinked forms of exploitation by focusing on sites such as sanctuaries, educational institutions, social media, and animal advocacy.
Arctic Hysteria and Other Strange Northern Emotions
This volume opens a new perspective on the thriving area of research on the imagined North by studying emotions in the light of case studies in Finnish literature. It addresses the cultural history of Arctic hysteria and maps other strange emotions depicted and evoked in literature of the Finnish North. The case studies range from the works of internationally renowned authors, such as Rosa Liksom, Emmi Itäranta and Tove Jansson, to the affectively controversial and provocative writings of Timo K. Mukka, Marko Tapio and Pentti Linkola. By focusing on the imagined North in the literature of modernism and late modernity, the authors offer fresh views on experiences of modernisation and the changing Northern environment in the age of the Anthropocene. The book is intended for scholars and students in literary studies, together with everyone interested in the imagined North and emotion, Finnish literature and culture.

Arctic Hysteria and Other Strange Northern Emotions
Arctic Hysteria and Other Strange Northern Emotions: Case Studies in Finnish Literature opens a new perspective on the thriving area of research on the imagined North by studying emotions in the light of case studies in Finnish literature. The volume addresses the cultural history of Arctic hysteria and maps other strange emotions depicted and evoked in literature of the Finnish North. The volume comprises seven case studies which range from the works of internationally renowned authors, such as Rosa Liksom, Emmi Itäranta and Tove Jansson, to the affectively controversial and provocative writings of Timo K. Mukka, Marko Tapio and Pentti Linkola. Drawing from the study of the imagined North and theories and tools in the study of literature and emotions, the analyses show how such moods as melancholia, ecstasy or a peculiar sense of November are generated in texts and how literary emotions entangle with the Northern environment they depict. By focusing on the imagined North in Finnish modernism and contemporary literature, the authors offer original views on experiences of late modernity merging with the changing Northern environment in the age of the Anthropocene.
Delfiinin hymy kätkee kärsimystä
DELFIINIT ovat älykkäitä ja sosiaalisia merinisäkkäitä, jotka tekevät delfinaarioissa temppuja hymyileväksi tulkittava ilme naamallaan. Ilme kuitenkin pettää. Altaisiin vangitut eläimet ovat usein aggressiivisia ja vahingoittavat itseään ja joskus hoitajiaan. Tragediat ja julkisuuskampanjat ovat muuttaneet yleisön suhtautumista. Suosion hiipuessa ja lakien kiristyessä monia delfinaarioita on lakkautettu. Yli 50 maassa toimii kolmisen sataa delfinaariota, joissa elää tuhansia delfiinejä. Uusia delfinaarioita avataan suuressa mitassa enää Kiinassa. Kielteinen julkisuus ja vähentyneet kävijämäärät ovat pakottaneet delfinaarioita suuntautumaan opetukseen ja lajien suojeluun. Yleisin laji pullokuonodelfiini ei ole uhanalainen. Särkänniemen neljän delfiinin surullinen kohtalo ulkomaisissa laitoksissa on tyyppiesimerkki hyväksikäytön aiheuttamasta eläinten pahoinvoinnista. Lakkautettavien laitosten delfiinien vapauttaminen meriin on vaikeaa, sillä vankeuteen tottuneet eläimet eivät selviä omillaan ilman pitkää sopeuttamista. Vapautushankkeita ja delfiinien eläkepäivien suojelualueita kehitellään, joskin tarpeeseen nähden liian vähän.
