Taking a sociocultural approach to understanding violence, the
authors in this collection examine how norms of gender, culture and
educational practice contribute to school violence, providing
strategies to intervene in and address violence in educational
contexts.
Mediating Sexual Citizenship considers how the neoliberal
imperatives of adaptation, improvement and transformation that
inform the shifting artistic and industrial landscape of television
are increasingly indexed to performed disruptions in the norms of
sexuality and gender. Drawing on examples from a range of
television genres (quality drama, reality television, talk shows,
sitcoms) and outlets (network, cable, subscription video on
demand), the analysis in this book demonstrates how, as one of the
most dominant cultural technologies, television plays a critical
role in the production, maintenance and potential reconfiguring of
the social organisation of embodiment, be it within gender
identities, kinship structures or the categorisation of sexual
desire. It suggests that, in order to understand television's role
in producing gendered and sexual citizenship, we must pay critical
attention to the significant shifts in how television is produced,
broadcast and consumed.
This edited collection is a cultural analysis of how law is shaped
into procedure and principle by the conditions of everyday life.
Law is constitutive of culture just as culture and cultural
analyses shape, resist and interrogate legal regulation, exception
and norms. So too does law have a dual capacity in the field of
culture: it enables the formation of subjects and of cultural
practices, and it constrains those very formations. This book uses
the animating critical concerns of Cultural Studies over the last
20 years-that is, the symbolic, material, economic, and political
practices and power relations that are inscribed in everyday
life-to analyze the assembly of practices, procedures, sites,
interactions and agents of law. The chapters in this collection
accordingly examine the conditions of law's everyday life, in
situations ordinary and extraordinary, to show it in the moment of
its working. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Cultural Studies.

Artistic Bedfellows is an international interdisciplinary
collection of historical essays, critical papers, case studies,
interviews, and comments from scholars and practitioners that shed
new light on the growing field of collaborative art. This
collection examines the field of collaborative art broadly, while
asking specific questions with regard to the issues of
interdisciplinary and cultural difference, as well as the
psychological and political complexity of collaboration. The
diversity of approach is needed in the current multimedia and cross
disciplinarily world of art. This reader is designed to stimulate
thought and discussion for anyone interested in this growing field
and practice.
