The goal of Handbook of International Perspectives on Feminism is to present the histories, status, and contours of feminist research and practice in their respective regional and/or national contexts. The editors have invited researchers who are doing this work to present their perspectives on women, culture, and rights with the objective to illuminate the diverse forms that feminist psychological work takes around the world, and connect these forms with the unique positions and concerns of women in these regions. What does "feminist psychology" look like in Japan? In South Africa? In Sri Lanka? In Canada? In Brazil? How did it come to look this way? How do psychologists in these countries or regions, each with unique political, economic, and cultural histories, engage in feminist work in the societies in which they live? How do they employ the tools of "psychology" – broadly defined – to do this work, and what tensions and challenges have they faced?

What is happening to gender studies and gender research as emerging but contested fields of scientific knowledge in the conditions of the new academic governance? And which role do gender studies and gender research play in the current transformations in academia? All articles in this book make clear that the impacts of the new academic governance have global, glocal and local dimensions which have to be taken into account in analysing the state of gender studies and gender research at the end of the 2010s. From diverse geopolitical and sociocultural views the authors simultaneously draw a multifaceted picture of the current situation, criticise the widespread tendencies of the marketisation of scientific knowledge, suggest strategies for resistance against the neo-liberalisation of higher education and research, and identify starting points for further and optionally comparative studies on these issues. These contributions emphasise not only the need for more theoretical reflection and empirical research and for critical exchanges on the current transformations, but also the need for political action to challenge, resist and change them. The EditorDr Heike Kahlert is Professor and Chair of Sociology/Social Inequality and Gender at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Germany.

Como si un antiguo tren del Oeste americano nos invitara a avanzar por raíles de papel, dispongámonos a sumergirnos en las páginas de este libro para disfrutar de un apasionante viaje a través del cine. Podemos apearnos en cada estación del trayecto para pasear, sin prisa, por el interior de cada uno de los géneros cinematográficos. En la estación del Drama, exploraremos conflictos personales, sentimientos, emociones. En la siguiente parada, Cine Histórico, contemplaremos hechos relevantes de épocas pasadas. La próxima, Cine Cómico, nos hará reír a gusto con Charlot, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, el Gordo y el Flaco y los hermanos Marx... Las carcajadas se convertirán en sonrisas en la estación de La Comedia y así cobraremos fuerzas para lanzarnos con entusiasmo a visitar Cine de Aventuras. To d a v í a sin aliento, de tanta acción, nos dejaremos invadir por la intriga y el misterio en la estación El Thriller. El tren nos llevará luego a los grandes espacios épicos de Cine Bélico y nos conmoveremos con la grandeza humana que puede palpitar en el mayor de los horrores. Después de haber disfrutado de sustos y de situaciones que nos erizan los cabellos en la estación Cine de Terror, alcanzaremos las grandes praderas por las que cabalga John Wayne, el gran héroe americano. Tras el Western, la próxima parada. Cine Musical, nos permitirá disfrutar de elaboradas coreografías, con música, canción y baile. Y, como fin de trayecto, la estación Ciencia Ficción, nos lanzará una llamada de atención sobre asuntos clave del presente, proyectándolos a un futuro imaginario. Al concluir nuestro paseo por los géneros cinematográficos y haber hecho nuestras propias elecciones, comprenderemos que, mientras en los manuales se sigue elucubrando sobre qué son exactamente dichos géneros, en realidad somos nosotros, los espectadores, cuando elegimos ir a ver una del Oeste o de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, o una de terror, o una comedia romántica..., quienes, con nuestras preferencias, le damos sentido a cada uno de ellos. A fin de cuentas, los géneros cinematográficos existen y son lo que son porque el público, el imaginario colectivo, con sus gustos y preferencias, así lo ha decidido. ¡FELIZ VIAJE A TRAVÉS DEL CINE!

This volume offers a description and a deep examination of discourse genres across four disciplines (Psychology, Social Work, Industrial Chemistry, and Construction Engineering), in academic and professional settings. The study is based on one of the largest available corpus on disciplinary written discourse in Spanish (PUCV-2006 Corpus of Spanish containing almost 60 million words). Twelve chapters range from the theoretical guiding principles of the research in terms of genre conception, the detailed description of each corpus (academic and professional), computational analysis from multi-dimensional perspectives, and the qualitative analysis of two specialized genres (University Textbook and Disciplinary Text) in terms of their rhetorical macro-moves and moves. Theoretically speaking, a multi-dimensional perspective (social, linguistic and cognitive) is emphasized and special attention to the cognitive nature of discourse genres is supported.

This handbook highlights innovative and affect-driven feminist dialogues that inspire social work practice, education, and research across the globe. The editors have gathered the many (at times silenced) feminist voices and their allies together in this book which reflects current and contested feminist landscapes through 52 chapters from leading feminist social work scholars from the many branches and movements of feminist thought and practice. The breadth and width of this collection encompasses work from diverse socio-political contexts across the globe including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. The book is divided into six parts as follows: • Decoloniality, Indigeneity and Radical Theorising • Feminist Social Work in Fields of Practice • Academy and Feminist Research • The Politics of Care • Allyship, Profeminisms and Queer Perspectives • Social Movements, Engaging with the Environment and the More-than-Human The above sections present the diverse feminisms that have influenced social work which provides a range of engaging, informative and thought-provoking chapters. These chapters highlight that feminists still face the battle of working towards ending gender-based violence, discrimination, exploitation and oppression, and therefore it is urgent that we feature the many contemporary examples of activism, resistance, best practice and opportunities to emphasise the different ways feminisms remain central to social work knowledge and practice. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work and related disciplinary areas including the social and human sciences, global and social politics and policy, human rights, environmental and sustainability programmes, citizenship and women’s studies.
