Academic book on religion mentions otherkin

Trigger warnings: Publicity.

Book cover.
Last April: Jay Johnston mentions otherkin in another book. It's in the book Religion and the Subtle Body in Asia and the West: Between Mind and Body. The mention is on page 189 (as well as citing Lupa's A Field Guide to Otherkin for that on page 190). A bio at the beginning of Religion and the Subtle Body says that Johnston’s "current scholarly obsessions include trans-species subcultures (especially Otherkin)" (p. xi).

Too little of the relevant passages are visible through Google Books for me to see what the chapter is titled. Gentle reader, if you would please help me out with getting the details on this one, I would appreciate it.

According to the contents note in its WorldCat record, Jay Johnston wrote Ch. 13, "Subtle Subjects and Ethics: The Subtle Bodies of Western Post-Structuralist and Feminist Philosophy."

eta: Given the page numbers in the table of contents (which is visible on Google Books), I think the mentions must be in the introduction to Part Four, "Subtle bodies and modernity".
