This edited collection investigates the relationship between gender
and authority across geographical contexts, periods and fields. Who
is recognized as a legitimate voice in debate and decision-making,
and how is that legitimization produced? Through a variety of
methodological approaches, the chapters address some of the most
pressing and controversial themes under scrutiny in current
feminist scholarship and activism, such as pornography, political
representation, LGBTI struggles, female genital mutilation, the
#MeToo movement, abortion, divorce and consent. Organized into
three sections, "Politics," "Law and Religion," and "Imaginaries,"
the contributors highlight formal and informal aspects of
authority, its gendered and racialized configurations, and
practices of solidarity, resistance and subversion by traditionally
disempowered subjects. In dialogue with feminist scholarship on
power and agency, the notion of authority as elaborated here offers
a distinctive lens to critique political and epistemic foundations
of inequality and oppression, and will be of use to scholars and
students across gender studies, sociology, politics, linguistics,
theology, history, law, film, and literature.
