Sexuelle Praktiken zwischen Menschen und Tieren verursachten in der Fruhen Neuzeit Furcht und Entsetzen. Als teuflische Sunde und Verbrechen wider die Natur wurde "Bestialitat" auch im reformierten Zurich mit der Todesstrafe geahndet. Vor Gericht sagten Zeuginnen und Angeklagte uber das Unaussprechbare aus - und beschrieben ihre alltaglichen Beziehungen zu Tieren. Bullen, Kuhe, Stuten und Schafe waren ein grundlegender Faktor bestialischer Konstellationen. Sie lieferten Vorbilder sexueller Handlungen und wurden selbst zum Objekt der Begierde. Auf der Grundlage einer historisch-semantischen sowie praxeologischen Analyse von Gerichtsakten verortet diese Studie Bestialitat in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen individueller Korperlichkeit, dorflicher Lebenswelt und religios-obrigkeitlichen Normen.

Confronting Animal Abuse presents a powerful examination of the human-animal relationship and the laws designed to protect it. Piers Beirne, a leading scholar in the growing field of green criminology, explores the heated topic of animal abuse in agriculture, science, and sport, as well as what is known, if anything, about the potential for animal assault to lead to inter-human violence. He convincingly shows how from its roots in the Irish plow-fields of 1635 through today, animal-rights legislation has been primarily shaped by human interest and why we must reconsider the terms of human-animal relationships. Beirne argues that if violations of animals' rights are to be taken seriously, then scholars and activists should examine why some harms to animals are defined as criminal, others as abusive but not criminal and still others as neither criminal nor abusive. Confronting Animal Abuse points to the need for a more inclusive concept of harms to animals, without which the meaning of animal abuse will be overwhelmingly confined to those harms that are regarded as socially unacceptable, one-on-one cases of animal cruelty. Certainly, those cases demand attention. But so, too, do those other and far more numerous institutionalized harms to animals, where abuse is routine, invisible, ubiquitous and often defined as socially acceptable. In this pioneering, pro-animal book Beirne identifies flaws in our traditional understanding of human-animal relationships, and proposes a compelling new approach.

Sexuality and the Unnatural in Colonial Latin America brings together a broad community of scholars to explore the history of illicit and alternative sexualities in Latin America's colonial and early national periods. Together the essays examine how ";the unnatural" came to inscribe certain sexual acts and desires as criminal and sinful, including acts officially deemed to be "against nature"-sodomy, bestiality, and masturbation-along with others that approximated the unnatural-hermaphroditism, incest, sex with the devil, solicitation in the confessional, erotic religious visions, and the desecration of holy images. In doing so, this anthology makes important and necessary contributions to the historiography of gender and sexuality. Amid the growing politicized interest in broader LGBTQ movements in Latin America, the essays also show how these legal codes endured to make their way into post-independence Latin America.
