The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

New directions in queer theory continue to trouble the boundaries of both queerness and the classical leading to an explosion of new work in the vast—and increasingly uncharted—intersection between these disciplines which this interdisciplinary volume seeks to explore. This handbook convenes an international group of experts who work on the classical world and queer theory. The discipline of Classics has been involved with and implicated in queer theory from the start. By placing front and center the rejection of heteronormativity queer theory has provided Classics with a powerful tool for analyzing non-normative sexual and gender relations in the ancient West while Classics offers queer theory ancient material (such as literature visual arts and social practices) that challenges a wide range of modern normative categories. The collection demonstrates the vitality of this particular moment in queer classical studies featuring an expansive array of methodologies applied to the interdisciplinary field of Classics. Embracing the indeterminacy that lies at the core of queer studies the essays in this volume are organized not by chronology or genre but rather by overlapping categories under the following rubrics: queer subjectivities queer times and places queer kinships queer receptions and ancient pasts/queer futures. The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory offers an invaluable collection for anyone working on queer theory especially as it applies to premodern periods; it will also be of interest to scholars engaging with the history of sexuality both in the ancient world and more broadly.

Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Ethnography has a long history in the humanities and social sciences and has provided the base line in the field of police studies for over 60 years. We have recently witnessed a resurgence in ethnographic practice among police scholars and this Handbook is a response to that revival. Students and academics are returning to the ethnography arena and the study of police in situ to explain the evocative worlds of the police. The list of ethnographic sites is vast and all have fed the rejuvenation of ethnographic endeavour. Together they suggest innovation theoretical depth broad geographical boundaries multi-site experiments and multi-disciplinarity all of which are central to the exploration of police and policing in the twenty-first century. This Handbook encapsulates the revival of police ethnography by exploring its multidisciplinary field and cataloguing the ongoing ethnographic work. It offers an original and international contribution to the field of police studies and research methods providing a comprehensive and overarching guide to police ethnography. We see the previous classics in every page and still note the influence of the early ethnographers. At the same time we see the innovative breadth and diversity of these narratives. The aim of this Handbook is to highlight the mosaic that is police ethnography at a point in time and note with pleasure its contribution to the field once more. Ethnography may be messy difficult and at times uncooperative but its results offer a unique insight into the perspectives of people and organisations that can hide in plain sight. An accessible and compelling read this Handbook will provide a sound and essential reference source for academics researchers students and practitioners engaged in police and criminal justice studies. | Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

The Routledge Handbook of the Senses in the Ancient Near East

The Routledge Handbook of the Senses in the Ancient Near East

This Handbook is a state-of-the-field volume containing diverse approaches to sensory experience bringing to life in an innovative remarkably vivid and visceral way the lives of past humans through contributions that cover the chronological and geographical expanse of the ancient Near East. It comprises thirty-two chapters written by leading international contributors that look at the ways in which humans through their senses experienced their lives and the world around them in the ancient Near East with coverage of Anatolia Egypt the Levant Mesopotamia Syria and Persia from the Neolithic through the Roman period. It is organised into six parts related to sensory contexts: Practice production and taskscape; Dress and the body; Ritualised practice and ceremonial spaces; Death and burial; Science medicine and aesthetics; and Languages and semantic fields. In addition to exploring what makes each sensory context unique this organisation facilitates cross-cultural and cross-chronological as well as cross-sensory and multisensory comparisons and discussions of sensory experiences in the ancient world. In so doing the volume also enables considerations of senses beyond the five-sense model of Western philosophy (sight hearing touch taste and smell) including proprioception and interoception and the phenomena of synaesthesia and kinaesthesia. The Routledge Handbook of the Senses in the Ancient Near East provides scholars and students within the field of ancient Near Eastern studies new perspectives on and conceptions of familiar spaces places and practices as well as material culture and texts. It also allows scholars and students from adjacent fields such as Classics and Biblical Studies to engage with this material and is a must-read for any scholar or student interested in or already engaged with the field of sensory studies in any period.
