This book offers critical reflections on the intersections between criminology and queer scholarship, and charts future directions for this field. Since their development over twenty-five years ago, queer scholarship and politics have been hotly contested fields, equally embraced and dismissed. Amid calls for criminology and criminal justice institutions to respond more effectively to the injustices faced by LGBTIQ people, criminologists have recently developed a Queer Criminology and turned to queer scholarship in the process. Through a sweeping analysis of critical criminologies, as well as issues as varied as shame and utopian thought, Matthew Ball points to the many opportunities for criminology to engage further with the more politically disruptive strands of queer scholarship. His analysis highlights that criminology and queer theory are 'dangerous bedfellows', and that navigating the tension between them is central to confronting the social and criminal injustices experienced by LGBTIQ communities. This book will be of particular interest for scholars of criminology, criminal justice, LGBTIQ studies, gender studies and critical theory

Legal educators in Australia have increasingly become concerned with the mental health of law students. The apparent risk posed by legal education to a student's mental health has led to the deployment of a variety of measures to address these problems. By exploring these measures as productive power relations attempting to shape law students, this paper outlines how this government of depression is achieved, and the potential costs of these power relations. It examines one central Australian text offering advice about how students and law student societies can address depression, and argues that doing so not only involves students adopting particular practices of self-government to shape their legal personae, but also relies on an extension of the power relations of legal education. In addition, this paper will link this advice – which privatises the issue of depression, responsibilises individuals and communities, privileges psychological expertise, and seeks to govern 'at a distance' – to broader forms of social administration that presently characterise many Western societies. Doing so allows legal educators to reflect on the effects of their attempts to govern depression, and to consider new ways of altering the power relations of legal education.

This book offers a fundamental challenge to a variety of theoretical, social, and political paradigms, ranging from law and justice studies to popular culture, linguistics to political activism. Developing the intellectual project initiated in Queering Paradigms, this volume extends queer theorizing in challenging new directions and uses queer insights to explore, trouble, and interrogate the social, political, and intellectual agendas that pervade (and are often taken for granted within) public discourses and academic disciplines. The contributing authors include queer theorists, socio-lingui

In der Tradition von "The Second Machine Age" erscheint das erste Buch über das nächste Internet: das Metaverse. Der Begriff "Metaverse" ist plötzlich überall, von Debatten über "Fortnite" über die Seiten der New York Times bis hin zu den Reden von Mark Zuckerberg. Aber was genau ist das Metaverse? Wie Matthew Ball erklärt, ist es der Nachfolger des mobilen Internets, das die letzten zwei Jahrzehnte bestimmt hat. Das Metaverse ist eine persistente, virtuelle 3D-Welt - ein Netzwerk aus miteinander verbundenen Erfahrungen und Geräten, Tools und Infrastrukturen, das weit über die virtuelle Realität hinausgeht. Und es ist im Begriff, jede Branche und Funktion zu revolutionieren, vom Finanz- und Gesundheitswesen über den Zahlungsverkehr und Konsumgüter. Das Internet wird nicht mehr nur eine Armlänge entfernt sein, es wird uns umgeben, und Leben, Arbeit und Freizeit werden im Metaverse stattfinden. Mit weitreichender Autorität prognostiziert "Das Metaverse" neue Umsätze in Milliardenhöhe - und die radikale Umgestaltung der Gesellschaft. (Verlagswerbung)
