At no point in recorded history has there been an absence of
intense, and heated, discussion about the subject of how to conduct
relations between women and men. This Handbook provides a
comprehensive guide to these omnipresent issues and debates,
mapping the present and future of thinking about feminist theory.
The chapters gathered here present the state of the art in
scholarship in the field, covering: Epistemology and marginality
Literary, visual and cultural representations Sexuality Macro and
microeconomics of gender Conflict and peace. The most important
consensus in this volume is that a central organizing tenet of
feminism is its willingness to examine the ways in which gender and
relations between women and men have been (and are) organized. The
authors bring a shared commitment to the critical appraisal of
gender relations, as well as a recognition that to think
'theoretically' is not to detach concerns from lived experience but
to extend the possibilities of understanding. With this focus on
theory and theorizing about the world in which we live, this
Handbook asks us, across all disciplines and situations, to abandon
our taken-for-granted assumptions about the world and interrogate
both the origin and the implications of our ideas about gender
relations and feminism. It is an essential reference work for
advanced students and academics not only of feminist theory, but of
gender and sexuality across the humanities and social sciences.
