This Handbook aims to provide a comprehensive, international cartography of Queer Death Studies, offering broad, in-depth insights into the field and its emergence through tentacular transdisciplinary networking. Taking research and art-making on death, dying, mourning, and afterlife into new directions, it explores the multiple effects of contemporary necropolitics and the proliferation of death-worlds during the current period of Earth’s history, ‘The Anthropocene’ or ‘the Age of Man’.Informed by queer, critical posthumanist, decolonial, and feminist approaches, the Handbook presents a unique variety of both critical and affirmative reflections upon the world’s intersecting necropowers, and ethico-political potentials for social and environmental change. Contributors speculate on ways to reimagine life/ death-relations as vibrant entanglements. They also investigate modes of mourning differently, resisting necropolitical regimes that deem human and non-human individuals and populations to be disposable and non-grievable when they differ too much from the normative modern subject, Universal Man, in terms of intersections of gender, racialisation, class, sexuality, embodiment, embrainment, geopolitical positioning, or species.A thought provoking read, this Handbook is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, artists, teachers, students, death-professionals, (health)careworkers, activists, and NGOs interested in tools to rethink and reimagine death, dying, mourning, and afterlife from intersections of queering, decolonising, posthumanising, and feminist perspectives.

Välkommen till framtiden! Men vilken framtid? Framtiden som begrepp är både mångtydigt och politiskt laddat. Å ena sidan framställs den som en naturlig förlängning av det förflutna och som något som kan planeras, styras och förutses. Å andra sidan öppnar begreppet framtider i plural för en kamp mellan olika visioner och en omförhandling av de historieskrivningar som legitimerar vissa framtider framför andra. I den bemärkelsen handlar framtiden inte bara om tiden som ligger framför oss, utan också om att omskriva förfluten tid för att göra vissa framtider tänkbara och andra otänkbara. I nummer 86–87 av Fronesis utforskas framtidsbegreppet i en tid då grundvillkoren för politiskt arbete drastiskt förändrats. Vi står inför det som kallas en metakris: klimatförändringar, växande auktoritära krafter och skenande ojämlikhet som alla är förbundna med varandra. Numret problematiserar den västerländska modernitetens linjära framstegstanke och granskar hur »smarta framtider« och accelerationspolitik riskerar att fördjupa samtidens kriser. Men här erbjuds också alternativ genom perspektiv som betonar långsamhet framför acceleration och kollektiv omsorg framför individuell överlevnad. I numret publiceras en intervju med den belgiska filosofen Isabelle Stengers om snabb och långsam vetenskap, en klassisk text av den brittiske marxisten Raymond Williams om hur överlevnadskalkyler ersatt framtidstro och den tysk-nigerianske psykologen Báyò Akómoláfés reflektion över aktivism och aktörskap. Här finns också texter av bland andra aktivisten adrienne maree brown, kollektivet Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF), författaren Ursula K. Le Guin, forskaren i miljöhumaniora Kati Lindström och teologen Jayne Svenungsson.

Coming to London aged thirteen from desperate poverty in Jamaica; pregnant at fifteen after being abused by a family friend; fifteen years later singing in Boney M, one of the biggest international groups of the late-1970s; a messy group split and millions in unpaid royalties during the 1980s; a 1990s solo career interrupted by six bouts of cancer - ovarian, breast, lymph node (twice), spine and oesophagus - and having to learn to walk again. Yet throughout Marcia Barrett has remained totally cheerful, relentlessly optimistic and a shining inspiration, looking on every obstacle as a mere inconvenience rather than anything insurmountable. Now, she is ready to tell her fantastic story, which is much more than just a pop star autobiography. It is a charming, candid, laugh-out-loud story of survival, triumph, indomitable spirit and total upfullness, often driven by sheer force of will.It is also that very rare thing in British publishing, a feelgood story for black women that has real significance among the UK's African-Caribbean population - there are very few middle-aged black women in this country (a keen book-buying demographic) who didn't, as youngsters, have hairbraiding copied from Marcia Barrett. But of course it has a mainstream audience too: the battles against cancer are relevant to all women, as is much of her early personal life and balancing looking after her mother and son with life on the road in Boney M.

Pleasure refers to the freedom to pursue a desire, deliberately sought in order to satisfy the self. Putting pleasure first is liberating. During their extraordinary lives, Lena Horne, Moms Mabley, Yolande DuBois, and Memphis Minnie enjoyed pleasure as they gave pleasure to both those in their lives and to the public at large. They were Black women who, despite their public profiles, whether through Black society or through the world of entertainment, discovered ways to enjoy pleasure.They left home, undertook careers they loved, and did what they wanted, despite perhaps not meeting the standards for respectability in the interwar era. See Me Naked looks at these women as representative of other Black women of the time, who were watched, criticized, and judged by their families, peers, and, in some cases, the government, yet still managed to enjoy themselves. Among the voyeurs of Black women was Langston Hughes, whose novel Not Without Laughter was clearly a work of fiction inspired by women he observed in public and knew personally, including Black clubwomen, blues performers, and his mother. How did these complicated women wrest loose from the voyeurs to define their own sense of themselves? At very young ages, they found and celebrated aspects of themselves. Using examples from these women's lives, Green explores their challenges and achievements.
