Disciplining Foucault: Feminism, Power, and the Body
ISBN: 9780415901888 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has been argued that the discourses of western culture are thoroughly masculinist and offer no place for women. Women's only possibilities are to speak in a masculine voice, construct a new language, or be silent. Foucault's highly influential analyses of power and knowledge would therefore be irrelevant for the women's movement, and use of his discourse might even undermine feminism as an emancipatory project.

Feminist Theory and the Philosophies of Man
ISBN: 9780415902045 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

There are exceptionally good discussions of the relationship between Marxism and feminism, on feminism and psychoanalysis, and on reconstruction and feminism. Indeed, Nye's exposition of the notoriously arcane work of Lacan, Derrida, and the...

ISBN: 9780415902748 / Angielski / Miękka / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The use of theory in feminist analysis has been said to threaten feminism as a political force. This collection of work by leading feminist scholars engages with the question of the political status of poststructuralist theory within feminism.

Not Just Race, Not Just Gender: Black Feminist Readings
ISBN: 9780415903264 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the 19th-century articulations of Sojourner Truth to such contemporary thinkers as Patricia J. Williams, black feminists have always recognized the mutual dependence of race and gender. In this text, Valerie Smith explores the myriad ways race and gender shape lives and social practices. Smith identifies black feminist theorizing as a strategy of reading rather than as something located in a particular subjective experience. Her intent is not to deny the validity of black women's lived experience, but rather to resist deploying a uniform model of black women's lives. Whether reading race...

Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature
ISBN: 9780415903875 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Simians, Cyborgs and Women is a powerful collection of ten essays written between 1978 and 1989. Although on the surface, simians, cyborgs and women may seem an odd threesome, Haraway describes their profound link as creatures which have had a great destabilizing place in Western evolutionary technology and biology. Throughout this book, Haraway analyzes accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms, and cyborgs. At once a social reality and a science fiction, the cyborg--a hybrid of organism and machine--represents transgressed boundaries and intense fusions...

ISBN: 9780415905084 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Diana Tietjens Meyers examines the political underpinnings of psychoanalytic feminism, analyzing the relation between the nature of the self and the structure of good societies.

Broader than a single feminist ideology, gender consciousness includes not only feminist attitudes, but...
