Free Download Transforming Biocities: Designing Urban Spaces Inspired by Nature
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031294653 | 532 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 50 MB
This edited volume centers around the concept of BioCities, which aim to unify nature and urban spaces in order to reverse the effects of global climate change and inequity. Following this principle, the authors propose multiple approaches for sustainable city growth. The discussed concepts are not only relevant for newly constructed cities, but offer transformative perspectives for existing settlements as well.

Free Download Clare Hemmings, "Bisexual Spaces: A Geography of Sexuality and Gender"
English | 2002 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 0415930820, 0415930839 | PDF | 34,4 mb
A largely unexplored area, this is an innovative and original examination of bisexual spaces as places that are defined by both geographical boundaries and cultural significance. Hemmings applies the ideas of queer theory as well as social and cultural geography in her fascinating investigation into the spaces and places of bisexual life. Specifically focusing on Northhampton, MA and San Francisco, she draws on interviews with community members and the town histories showing how and why they have developed into safe places for the gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities. By mapping out a space of bisexuality, Bisexual Spaces provides a new and provocative understanding of the concept.

Free Download Nick Gill, Dominique Moran, "Carceral Spaces: Mobility and Agency in Imprisonment and Migrant Detention"
English | 2016 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 1138249343, 1409442683 | PDF | 2,3 mb
This book draws together the work of a new community of scholars with a growing interest in carceral geography: the geographical study of practices of imprisonment and detention. It combines work by geographers on ‘mainstream’ penal establishments where people are incarcerated by the prevailing legal system, with geographers’ recent work on migrant detention centres, where irregular migrants and ‘refused’ asylum seekers are detained, ostensibly pending decisions on admittance or repatriation. Working in these contexts, the book’s contributors investigate the geographical location and spatialities of institutions, the nature of spaces of incarceration and detention and experiences inside them, governmentality and prisoner agency, cultural geographies of penal spaces, and mobility in the carceral context. In dialogue with emergent and topical agendas in geography around mobility, space and agency, and in relation to international policy challenges such as the (dis)functionality of imprisonment and the search for alternatives to detention, this book presents a timely addition to emergent interdisciplinary scholarship that will prompt dialogue among those working in geography, criminology and prison sociology.

Free Download Intercultural Spaces of Law: Translating Invisibilities
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031274350 | 789 Pages | EPUB (True) | 7 MB
This book proposes an interdisciplinary methodology for developing an intercultural use of law so as to include cultural differences and their protection within legal discourse; this is based on an analysis of the sensory grammar tacitly included in categorizations. This is achieved by combining the theoretical insights provided by legal theory, anthropology and semiotics with a reading of human rights as translational interfaces among the different cultural spaces in which people live. To support this use of human rights’ semantic and normative potential, a specific cultural-geographic view dubbed ‘legal chorology’ is employed. Its primary purpose is to show the extant continuity between categories and spaces of experience, and more specifically between legal meanings and the spatial dimensions of people’s lives.

Free Download Edited by Frauke Uhlenbruch;In Collaboration With Anna Angelini & Anne-Sophie Augier, "Not in the Spaces we Know: An Exploration of Science Fiction and the Bible "
English | ISBN: 1463206941 | 2017 | 135 pages | PDF | 991 KB
This volume explores themes at the intersection of the Bible and science fiction. In the genre of science fiction in film, books, comic books, or fan fiction, we find portrayals of possible futures, altered pasts, supernatural or beyond-human beings. Just as in biblical literature, science fiction can contain metaphysical speculation. Departing from this intersection, the authors engage with biblical texts ‘as’ science fiction, asking different questions of their sources: can science fiction theory and practice yield new approaches to the discussion of biblical texts? The authors reflect on methodology and offer case studies that include, among others, superhuman biblical kings and uncanny divine intermediaries.

Free Download Belinda Leach, "Reshaping Gender and Class in Rural Spaces "
English | ISBN: 1409402916 | 2011 | 266 pages | EPUB | 1282 KB
Leach and Pini bring together empirical and theoretical studies that consider the intersections of class, gender and rurality. Each chapter engages with current debates on these concepts to explore them in the context of contemporary social and economic transformations in which global processes that reconstitute gender and class interconnect with and take shape in a particular form of locality – the rural. The book is innovative in that it: – responds to calls for more critical work on the rural ‘other’ – contributes to scholarship on gender and rurality, but does so through the lens of class. This book places the question of gender, rurality and difference at its centre through its focus on class – addresses the urban bias of much class scholarship as well as the lack of gender analysis in much rural and class academic work – focuses on the ways that class mediates the construction and practices of rural men/masculinities and rural women/femininities – challenges prevalent (and divergent) assumptions with chapters utilising contemporary theorisations of class With the empirical strongly grounded in theory, this book will appeal to scholars working in the fields of gender, rurality, identity, and class studies.

Free Download Leslie R Malland, "The Spaces of Renaissance Anatomy Theater "
English | ISBN: 1648891411 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The space of Renaissance anatomy is not solely in the physical theatre. As this collection demonstrates, the space of the theatre encompasses every aspect of Renaissance culture, from its education systems, art, and writing to its concepts of identity, citizenship, and the natural world. This book argues that Renaissance anatomy theatres were spaces of intersection that influenced every aspect of their culture, and that scholars should broaden their concept of anatomy theatres to include more than the physical space of the theatre itself. Instead, we should approach the anatomy theatres as spaces where cultural expression is influenced by the hands-on study of human cadavers. This book enters the ongoing conversation surrounding Renaissance anatomy by dialogically engaging with such scholars as Jonathan Sawaday, Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Kathryn Schwarz, and primary texts such as ‘De humani corporis fabric’, Montaigne’s ‘Essais’, and Shakespearean plays. The book also features Renaissance artwork alongside works by Laurence Winram.
