Morse discovered that the number of critical points of a smooth function on a manifold is closely related to the topology of the manifold. This became a starting point of the Morse theory which is now one of the basic parts of differential topology. Circle-valued Morse theory originated from a problem in hydrodynamics studied by S. P. Novikov in the early 1980's. Nowadays, it is a constantly growing field of contemporary mathematics with applications and connections to many geometrical problems such as Arnold's conjecture in the theory of Lagrangian intersections, fibrations of manifolds over the circle, dynamical zeta functions, and the theory of knots and links in the three-dimensional sphere. The aim of the book is to give a systematic treatment of geometric foundations of the subject and recent research results. The book is accessible to first year graduate students specializing in geometry and topology. 410 0$aGruyter studies in mathematics ;$v32. 606 $aMorse theory 606 $aManifolds (Mathematics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMorse theory. 615 0$aManifolds (Mathematics) 676 $a514/.74 686 $aSK 350$2rvk 700 $aPajitnov$b Andrei V$01046556 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454619003321 996 $aCircle-valued Morse theory$92473542 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04954nam 22007095 450 001 9910510542603321 005 20230810173931.0 010 $a9783030870706$b(electronic bk.) 010 $a3030870707 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-87070-6 035 $a(CKB)19935018800041 035 $a(OCoLC)1287130293$z(OCoLC)1286792926 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6816714 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6816714 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-87070-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)9919935018800041 100 $a20211126d2021 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aInterrogating Homonormativity $eGay Men, Identity and Everyday Life /$fby Sharif Mowlabocus 205 $a1st ed. 2021. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2021. 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 241 pages) 225 1 $aPalgrave Studies in (Re)Presenting Gender,$x2662-9372 311 08$aPrint version: Mowlabocus, Sharif.

"This is an exceptional book, which interrogates the complex ways in which marriage equality has changed the place of gay men in contemporary (British) society, exposing how formal equality continues to overlook sexual difference and ends up obscuring demands for genuine equity." - Dr. Gavin Brown, Professor of Political Geography & Sexualities, Leicester, UK. "A pleasure to read, this book offers reflections that are refreshingly grounded in the experiences of gay men today dealing with a new world of legal rights in a context of declining public gay spaces and at best conditional public acceptance." - Dr. Barry Adam, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Windsor, Canada. This book explores the concept of homonormativity and examines how the politics of homonormativity has shaped the lives and practices of gay men living primarily in the UK. The book adopts a case study approach in order to examine how homonormativity is shaping relationships within gay male culture, and between this culture and mainstream society. The book features chapters on same-sex marriage, HIV treatment, dating and hook-up culture, sexualized drug use and the world of work. Throughout these chapters, the book develops a conversation regarding the role that neoliberalism has played in defining gay male identities and practices in the UK and USA. If homonormativity is understood as the sexual politics of neoliberalism, this book considers to what extent those sexual politics pervade gay men's sense of self, their relationships with each other, their experience of the spaces they occupy in everyday life, and the identities they inhabit in the workplace. Sharif Mowlabocus is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University, New York, USA. He holds a PhD in Media and Cultural Studies from the University of Sussex, UK, and is the author of several books and research articles. His research focuses primarily on Western gay male culture and its engagement with new forms of communication, mediation and representation. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in (Re)Presenting Gender,$x2662-9372 606 $aSex 606 $aEthnology$zEurope 606 $aCulture 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aEuropean Culture 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aGlobal and International Culture 606 $aAmerican Culture 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aEthnology 615 14$aGender Studies. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aGlobal and International Culture. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 676 $a306.7662 676 $a306.7662 700 $aMowlabocus$b Sharif$0966260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910510542603321 996 $aInterrogating Homonormativity$92551204 997 $aUNINA
