Recent debates in contemporary feminist theory have been dominated
by the relation between identity and politics. Beyond Identity
Politics examines the implications of recent theorizing on
difference, identity and subjectivity for theories of patriarchy
and feminist politics.
Organised around the three central themes of subjectivity, power
and politics, this book focuses on a question which feminists
struggled with and were divided by throughout the last decade, that
is: how to theorize the relation between the subject and politics.
In this thoughtful engagement with these debates Moya Lloyd argues
that the turn to the subject in process does not entail the demise
of feminist politics as many feminists have argued. She
demonstrates how key ideas such as agency, power and domination
take on a new shape as a consequence of this radical rethinking of
the subject-politics relation and how the role of feminist
political theory becomes centred upon critique.
A resource for feminist theorists, women's and gender studies
students, as well as political and social theorists, this is a
carefully composed and wide-ranging text, which provides important
insights into one of contemporary feminism's most central
concerns.
