Societal views on animals are rapidly changing and have become more diversified: can we use them for our own pleasure, and how should we understand animal agency? These questions, asked both in theoretical discourses and different practices, are also relevant for our understanding of horses and the human–horse relation. Equine Cultures in Transition stands as the first volume to bring together ethical questions of the new field of human–horse studies. For instance: what sort of ethics should be developed in relation to the horse today: an egalitarian ethics or an ethics that builds upon asymmetrical relations? How can we understand the horse as a social actor and as someone who, just like the human being, becomes through interspecies relations? Through which methods can we give the horse a stronger voice and better understand its becoming? These questions are not addressed from a medical or ethological perspective focused on natural behaviour, but rather from human acknowledgement of the horse as a sensing, feeling, acting, and relational being; and as a part of interspecies societies and relations. Providing an introductory yet theoretically advanced and broad view of the field of post humanism and human animal studies, Equine Cultures in Transition will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as human–animal studies, political sociology, animals and ethics, animal behaviour, anthropology, and sociology of culture. It may also appeal to riders and other practitioners within different horse traditions.

Efter valet 2010 har vågmästarpolitik och tungan på vågen åter blivit heta begrepp i svensk politik. I Riksbankens Jubileumsfonds nya årsbok diskuterar statsvetare, historiker, idéhistoriker, medieforskare och politiska journalister politisk praktik på både kommunal och nationell nivå. Sverigedemokraterna och Miljöpartiet lyfts fram som aktuella exempel på olika sätt att bedriva vågmästarpolitik. Vågmästeriets historiska rötter presenteras, från den trolöse 1700-talspolitikern Pechlin via den frisinnade statsministern C.G. Ekman på 1920-talet. Utblickar görs mot vågmästarsituationer med mer eller mindre populistiska partier i andra länder. Slutligen presenteras en färsk opinionsundersökning om vågmästeri och maktfördelning. Innehåll: Björn Fjæstad & Jenny Björkman: Den omtvistade tungan Ulla Ekström von Essen: Ett dubbelt demokratiskt dilemma Tommy Möller: Vågmästare eller tungan på vågen? Lars Nord: Kungamakare eller bråkmakare? Barbro Hedvall: Vågmästeri, halvkoalitioner och blockpolitik Lena Wängnerud: Viner partipiskan hårdare i partier med vågmästarroll? Mikael Gilljam & David Karlsson: Tungan på vågen-partier i Sveriges kommuner Hanna Bäck & Henry Bäck: Balanspartier i regeringsbildningar Lisa Bjurwald: Vågmästarna och ansvaret Ann-Cathrine Jungar: Populister i närheten av regeringen Mai-Brith Schartau: Ett land utan klassiska vågmästare Magnus Linton: Fascister på ministerposter eller fascister på vågen Sten Widmalm: Med kärnvapen som insats Patrik Winton: Sveriges första vågmästare Opinionsundersökning med kommentar
