ISBN: 9780826516091 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By contrast, while some of the narrators in The Way We Work feel passionate about their work, others are barely conscious that they are -workers.- In transit from one job to another, some...

Victorian Dogs, Victorian Men: Affect and Animals in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture by Keridiana W. Chez is the first monograph located at the intersection of animal and affect studies to examine how gender is produced via the regulation of interspecies relationships. Looking specifically at the development of the human-dog relationship, Chez argues that the bourgeoisie fostered connections with canine companions in order to mediate and regulate gender dynamics in the family. As Chez shows, the aim of these new practices was not to use animals as surrogates to...
