Queer(ing) Urban Space : Histories, Tactics, Futures in a Glocal World /
:
Queer(ing) Urban Space: Histories, Tactics, and Futures in a Glocal World brings together case studies on queerness and queering in urban spaces across diverse global contexts. Engaging with power, narrative, and desire, it responds to calls for new urban epistemologies beyond Western normative frameworks. The volume foregrounds intersections between Global North and South, exploring how colonial legacies, legal regimes, and spatial politics shape queer life. While research on queer access to public space has focused on Western cities, this book highlights underexplored contexts in the Global South, offering critical insights into how queerness challenges, negotiates, and reimagines the cis-heteronormative logics of urban modernity.

Imagination and Art: Explorations in Contemporary Theory /
:
This transdisciplinary project represents the most comprehensive study of imagination to date. The eclectic group of international scholars who comprise this volume propose bold and innovative theoretical frameworks for (re-) conceptualizing imagination in all of its divergent forms. Imagination and Art: Explorations in Contemporary Theory explores the complex nuances, paradoxes, and aporias related to the plethora of artistic mediums in which the human imagination manifests itself. As a fundamental attribute of our species, which other organisms also seem to possess with varying degrees of sophistication, imagination is the very fabric of what it means to be human into which everything is woven. This edited collection demonstrates that imagination is the resin that binds human civilization together for better or worse.
