Een Cyborg Manifest

In 1985 werd Donna Haraway wereldberoemd. In dat jaar publiceerde ze A Cyborg Manifesto, een diepgravend onderzoek naar de verhoudingen tussen mens en machine. Donna Haraway verenigt in Een Cyborg Manifest radicaal engagement, kritisch feminisme, onrustbarende ideeën en verstand van moderne technologiestudies. Dit boek bevat een vertaling van Haraway’s bekendste essay, bewerkt, ingeleid en vertaald door Karin Spaink. Lydia Baan Hofman verzorgt een extra inleiding. In het essay toont Haraway aan dat allerlei oude tweedelingen achterhaald zijn en doet ze een voorzet voor een nieuw politiek perspectief. Ze gebruikt daartoe de cyborg, een kruising tussen mens en machine. Een moderne klassieker die nog altijd aansluit bij de actualiteit.

Futures of the Flesh

"Drawing on the most radical insights from Black Feminist scholarship, Torlasco's audacious breading of creative and scholarly genres of film writing takes to task some of the most threaded modes of film theory. Futures of the Flesh is difficult work of extraordinary beauty and accomplishment." —Alessandra Raengo, Georgia State University "Futures of the Flesh is a tour-de-force, offering powerful and convincing arguments that do not look away from phenomenology's blind spots." —Shane Denson, Stanford University "'There are words, sounds, images that keep returning, like refrains, breaking out of context, creating new context,' Torlasco tells us. In tracking such words, sounds, and images, Torlasco has presented us with a powerful and demanding gift: a courageous book that breaks out of clichéd academic writing, ossified disciplinary conventions, reified scholarly thought; a poignantly lyrical book that creates new forms of writing and thinking about racial and sexual difference in the cinema and outside of it; a book of rare, holographic, beauty, that keeps turning around, returning to, and being diffracted by the vertigo crossroads where the Flesh and the Black Mother met, still meet, shall meet again, in joyful entanglement, in catastrophic torsion, and in hope." —Cesare Casarino, University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Animal Studies

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Animal studies is a recently recognized field in which animals are studied in a variety of cross-disciplinary ways. Scholars from fields as diverse as: art history, anthropology, biology, film studies, geography, history, psychology, literary studies, museology, philosophy, and sociology; and from various theoretical perspectives, including: feminism, marxist theory, and queer theory, seek to understand both human-animal relations now and in the past, and to understand animals as beings-in-themselves separate from our knowledge of them. Because the field is still developing, scholars and others have some freedom to define their own criteria and structure for the field.
