Books by Kath Weston

Kath Weston addresses the emergence of a new animism in the context of food, energy, water, and climate to trace how new intimacies between humans, animals, and the environment are emerging as people attempt to understand how the high-tech ecologically damaged world they have made is remaking them.

Gender in Real Time brings gender into the realm of time. Weston introduces the temporality concept, looking at the ways that gender exists and can be measured in units of time.

In this collection of her essays, the author argues that queer studies is just the latest installment in a long but largely forgotten history of interest in sexuality within the social sciences. Her articles aim to "sex up" conventional subjects, such as kinship, race or labour.

This classic text, originally published in 1991 and now revised and updated to include a new preface, draws upon fieldwork and interviews to explore the ways gay men and lesbians are constructing their own notions of kinship by drawing on the symbolism of love, friendship, and biology.
