Posthuman and Nonhuman Entanglements in Contemporary Art and the Body

Posthuman and Nonhuman Entanglements in Contemporary Art and the Body

Justyna Stepien

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
Disclosing the interconnectedness of human and nonhuman bodies, understood here as more/than/human entanglements, this book makes a crucial intervention into the ?eld of contemporary artistic studies, exploring how art can conceptualize material boundaries of entangled beings/doings.Drawing on critical posthumanist and new materialist thought, in this book, nonhumans become subjects of ethics, aesthetics, and politics that produce equally relevant meanings. Designed to include multiple artistic perspectives and forms of expression, which range from sculptures to bio-art and performative practices, the book argues that we are entangled with other organisms around us not only by our socio-cultural connections but predominately by the transformations that we all undergo with the world’s materiality. Thus, the artistic works discussed do not merely re?ect the world but transform it, o?ering solutions for practising alternative ethical values and acting better with and for the world.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural studies, media studies, body studies, performance studies, animal studies, and environmental studies.

Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel

Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel

Justyna Poray-Wybranowska

Routledge
2020
sidottu
Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Novel responds to the critical need for transdisciplinary research on the relationship between colonialism and catastrophe. It represents the first sustained analysis of the connection between colonial legacy and present-day ecological catastrophe in postcolonial fiction. Analyzing contemporary South Asian and South Pacific novels that grapple with climate change and catastrophe, environmental exploitation and instability, and human-nonhuman relationships in degraded environments, it offers a much-needed corrective to dominant narratives about climate, crisis, and the everyday. Highlighting the contributions of literary fiction from the postcolonial South to the growing field of the environmental humanities, this book reconsiders the novel’s relationship with climate change and the contemporary environmental imaginary. Counter to dominant current theoretical discourses, it demonstrates that the novel form is ideally suited to literary and imaginative engagements with climate change and ecological catastrophe. The six case studies it examines connect contemporary ecological vulnerability to colonial legacies, reveal the critical role animals and the environment play in literary imaginations of post-catastrophe recovery, and together constellate a decolonial perspective on ecological catastrophe in the era of climate change. Drawing on the work of Indigenous authors and scholars who write about and against the Anthropocene, this book displaces conventional ways of thinking about the relationship between the mundane and the catastrophic and promotes greater dialogue between the largely siloed fields of postcolonial, Indigenous, and disaster studies.

Nineteenth-Century Visions of Race

Nineteenth-Century Visions of Race

Justyna Fruzinska

Taylor Francis Ltd
2021
sidottu
Nineteenth-Century Visions of Race: British Travel Writing about America concerns the depiction of racial Others in travel writing produced by British travelers coming to America between 1815 and 1861.The travelers’ discussions of slavery and of the situation of Native Americans constituted an inherent part of their interest in the country’s democratic system, but it also reflected numerous additional problems: 19th-century conceptions of race, the writers’ own political agendas, as well as their like or dislike of America in general, which impacted how they assessed the treatment of the subaltern groups by the young republic. While all British travelers were critical of American slavery and most of them expressed sympathy for Native Americans, their attitude towards non-whites was shaped by prejudices characteristic of the age. The book brings together descriptions of blacks and Native Americans, showing their similarities stemming from 19th-century views on race as well as their differences; it also focuses on the depiction of race in travel writing as part of Anglo-American relations of the period.

Global Security and Sustainable Business Development

Justyna Zywiolek; Joanna Myslinska-Wieprow; Tomasz Smal

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Amid global sustainability difficulties and rising economic uncertainty, this book emphasizes the necessity for integrated strategies that harmonize security, sustainable development, and technological innovation. It helps create robust and transparent frameworks for organizations in dynamic contexts by utilizing advanced tools, including digital technology, renewable energy systems, and strategic knowledge management. The book emphasizes actionable tactics that link global security with sustainable economic advancement. The concepts in the book fundamentally rely on the utilization of digital technologies to improve security management and sustainability initiatives. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and predictive analytics are examined as essential instruments for maintaining operational resilience and adhering to regulatory requirements. Blockchain provides immutable data records that enhance transparency and trust within organizational ecosystems. This technology facilitates accurate tracking of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) parameters, bolstering stakeholders' trust in the organization's sustainability assertions. Likewise, IoT devices gather real-time data on energy usage, emissions, and supply chain efficiency, facilitating proactive modifications that conform to sustainable development objectives. The book underscores the strategic incorporation of renewable energy sources (RES) into security frameworks, establishing energy systems that are both sustainable and geopolitically stable. Organizations can diminish their reliance on non-renewable energy and enhance economic efficiency and long-term resilience by implementing solar, wind, and other renewable technologies. Improved energy security is essential for maintaining continuity during interruptions and facilitates the worldwide shift towards low-carbon economies. This component of the research demonstrates the relationship between energy sustainability and global security goals.

Venezuela: Democracy at a Crossroads

Venezuela: Democracy at a Crossroads

Justyna Marzec

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Today, democracy is assumed to be the dominant system in the world. It guarantees the development of states as well as the wellbeing and security of societies both internally and externally. However, the practice of state functioning shows that systemic transformation is non-linear and specific to a given state. In the context of political changes, an interesting subject of analysis is the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela: it is a state that is currently at a crossroads in the context of political changes. Venezuela is a democratic state in the sphere of declarations, but an authoritarian state in the functional sphere. This shortform volume attempts to identify the main trends affecting the transformation process in Venezuela, offering a concise overview for students, researchers and professionals interested in Venezuelan politics.
