Discourse & Society

race/ethnicity, class, sexual preference, or gender." Signs
These essays examine the intellectual traditions of the
philosophy of art and aesthetics. Containing essays by scholars and
by the writer Marilyn French, the collection ranges from the
history of aesthetic theory to a philosophical reflection on
fashion. The contributions are unified by a sustained scrutiny of
the nature of "feminist," "feminine," or "female" art, creativity,
and interpretation."
