Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

This Handbook provides the first in-depth analysis of non-violent extremism across different ideologies and geographic centres a topic overshadowed until now by the political and academic focus on violent and jihadi extremism in the Global North. Whilst acknowledging the potentiality of non-violent extremism as a precursor to terrorism this Handbook argues that non-violent extremism ought to be considered a stand-alone area of study. Focusing on Islamist Buddhist Hindu far-right far-left environmentalist and feminist manifestations the Handbook discusses the ideological foundation of their ‘war on ideas’ against the prevailing socio-political and cultural systems in which they operate and provides an empirical examination of their main claims and perspectives. This is supplemented by a truly global overview of non-violent extremist groups not only in Europe and the United States but also in Africa Asia Oceania and the Middle East. The Handbook thus answers a call to decolonise knowledge that is especially prescient given both the complicity of non-violent extremists with authoritarian states and the dynamic of oppression towards more progressive groups in the Global South. The Handbook will appeal to those studying extremism radicalisation and terrorism. It intersects several relevant disciplines including social movement studies political science criminology Islamic studies and anthropology. | Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction is the first large-scale reference work of its kind critically assessing the relations of gender and genre in science fiction (SF) especially—but not exclusively—as explored in speculative art by women and LGBTQ+ artists across the world. This global volume builds upon the traditions of interdisciplinary inquiry by connecting established topics in gender studies and science fiction studies with emergent ideas from researchers in different media. Taken together they challenge conventional generic boundaries; provide new ways of approaching familiar texts; recover lost artists and introduce new ones; connect the revival of old hate-based politics with the increasing visibility of imagined futures for all; and show how SF stories about new kinds of gender relations inspire new models of artistic technoscientific and political practice. Their chapters are grouped into five conversations—about the history of gender and genre theoretical frameworks subjectivities medias and transmedialities and transtemporalities—that are central to discussions of gender and SF in the current moment. A range of both emerging and established names in media literature and cultural studies engage with a huge diversity of topics including eco-criticism animal studies cyborg and posthumanist theory masculinity critical race studies Indigenous futurisms Black girlhood and gaming. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying gender sexuality and/or science fiction.
