This volume brings together researchers from various fields to enhance discussion of Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages as one continuum.

Book DetailsFor more than 70 years, South Korea has woven the threat of North Korea into daily life. But now that threat has become mundane, and South Korean national security addresses family, public health, and national unity. Banal Security illustrates how as a result, queer Koreans are seen to represent a viral threat to national security. Taking readers from police stations and the Constitutional Court to queer activist offices and pride festivals, Timothy Gitzen shows how security weaves through daily life and diffuses the queer threat, in a context where queer Koreans are treated as viral carriers, disruptions to public order, and threats to family and culture.

It places Finns as active participants in settler colonial histories, circulations of knowledge, and their ongoing legacies.

For generations of Indigenous peoples, national parks and other preserved spaces of nature have meant dispossession, treaty violations of hunting and fishing rights, and the loss of sacred places. Drawing on case studies from Scandinavia to Latin America and from North America to New Zealand, Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature challenges the old paradigm where Indigenous peoples are not included in the conservation and protection of natural areas and instead calls for the incorporation of Indigenous voices into this debate.
