"Up Against Foucault" introduces key aspects of Foucault's work to
feminists, in ways which are less abstracted than much of the
existing literature in this area. It includes an introduction to
Foucault's terms, and fills a gap in the literature by clarifying
the links between the everyday realities of women's lives and
Foucault's work on sexuality and power. The contributors explore
the implications of analyzing power relations, sexuality or the
body, without also thinking about gender and other social
divisions. They bring their expertise from social theory and
philosophy to bear on the same core issues; the ways in which
Foucault provokes feminists into questioning their grasp of power
relations, and the implications of the absence of gender in his own
work. "Up Against Foucault" shows that, in spite of his lack of
interest in gender, Foucault does have much to offer feminism -
proposing new ways of understanding the control of women and
especially the control of sexuality and bodies. This book offers
new ground in relating Foucault's challenge to feminism to
feminism's challenge to Foucault.
