At this time it was suggested that a spectrum existed in rela- tion to cruelty-free consumption and sexual relationships: at one end of this spectrum, a form of sexual preference influenced by veganism entailed an increased likelihood of sexual attraction towards those who shared similar beliefs regarding the exploitation of non-human animals; at the other end of the spectrum such a propensity might manifest as a strong sexual aversion to the bodies of those who consume meat and other animal products.

  • Exploring the Animal Turn
    EXPLORING THE ANIMAL TURN THE ANIMAL EXPLORING EXPLORING THE ANIMAL TURN Animals´ omnipresence in human society makes them both close to and yet Human-Animal Relations in Science, Society and Culture remarkably distant from humans. Human and animal lives have always been entangled, but the way we see and practice the relationships between humans and animals – as close, intertwined, or clearly separate – varies from time to time and between cultures, societies, and even situations. By putting these complex relationships in focus, this anthology investigates the ways in which human society deals with its co-existence with animals. The volume was produced within the frame of the interdisciplinary “Animal Turn”-research group which during eight months in 2013–2014 was hosted by the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies, Lund university, Sweden. Along with invited scholars and artists, members of this group contribute with different perspectives on the complexities and critical issues evoked when the human-animal relationship is in focus. The anthology covers a wide range of topics: From discussions on new disci- Andersson Cederholm, Björck, Jennbert, Lönngren, (eds.)

Phenomena such as vegansexuality, anthropomorphism, wildlife crimes, and the death of honey-bees are being discussed. How we gain knowledge of other species and creatures

El análisis tipológico de la bibliografía revela 11 áreas temáticas principales de investigación sobre comuni- cación sexual interpersonal. Seis de estas áreas están orientadas a las relaciones naturales: flirteo e iniciación; placer y deseo; expectativas sexuales; satisfacción relacional y sexual; comunicación después del sexo; y aspectos negativos del sexo y la sexualidad. Otros tres tratan aspectos de salud: educación sexual, especialmente teniendo en cuenta cómo se trata el tema entre padres e hijos en las familias; negociación o discusión con la pareja de prácticas sexuales seguras; y disfunciones sexuales. Finalmente, dos de los temas son de tipo cultural: factores e influencias sociales; e influencias y representaciones de/en los medios.
