Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Much work in the wake of posthumanism focusses on questions which emphasise and interrogate technology as the key element calling for novel understandings of the world in which we live. In this chapter, we focus on ‘the animal question’ in geography and philosophy as the provocation setting in motion other than purely technologically inspired rethinking of existence. We first define posthumanism as an emerging wave of contemporary thought. Second, we discuss how a strand of research in human geography has preferred to mark its work primarily as more-than-human, rather than posthuman. Third, we consider the question of the animal in Jacques Derrida’s late production to highlight three interrelated themes (the critique of ‘the animal’ category, the uniqueness of individual existence and violence), which we use as roadmap for considering how animal geography has been at the vanguard in calling scholars to rethink and rewrite the world by challenging humans’ exceptionalism. We conclude by briefly recalling the need to interrogate what animals want.
