Screening the Nonhuman draws connections between how animals represented on screen translate into reality. In doing so, the book demonstrates that consuming media is not a neutral act but rather a political one. The images humans consume have real world consequences for how animals are treated as actors, as pets, and in nature. The contributors propose that altering the representations of animals can change the way humans relate to non/humans. Our hope is for humans to generate more ethical relationships with non/humans, ultimately mediating reality both in terms of fiction and non-fiction. To achieve this end, film, television, advertisements, and social media are analyzed through an intersectional lens. But the book doesn’t stop here. Each author creates counter-representational strategies that promise to unweave the assumptions that have led to the mistreatment of humans and non/humans alike.

In this landmark Companion, expert contributors from around the world map out the field of the critical medical humanities. This is the first volume to comprehensively introduce the ways in which interdisciplinary thinking across the humanities and social sciences might contribute to, critique and develop medical understanding of the human individually and collectively. The thirty-six newly commissioned chapters range widely within and across disciplinary fields, always alert to the intersections between medicine, as broadly defined, and critical thinking. Each chapter offers suggestions for further reading on the issues raised, and each section concludes with an Afterword, written by a leading critic, outlining future possibilities for cutting-edge work in this area.

George Lundberg (1895-1966) played a significant role in methodological discussion in U.S. sociology from the 1930s to the 1950s: He promoted "science," however, that was defined. His origins were humble, but he worked his way up to a position of prominence. Working in liaison with Stuart C. Dodd, he was heavily involved in arguing for the relevance to social science of what they saw as natural-science methods. They planned a division of labour, with Lundberg as evangelist, writing less technically for a wide public, while Dodd developed empirical work on measurement. To propound their ideas, conflict with many opponents was actively pursued at conferences and in publications. The circle of those with shared sympathies that emerged was cross-disciplinary. Lundberg's own empirical work was limited, but ...
