"Between Feminism and Materialism" is a bold attempt to make
sense of the relationship between feminist theory and capitalism.
Addressing a number of philosophical problems that have engaged
feminists over the last few decades—universals and reason, nature
and essentialism, identity and non-identity, sex and gender, power
and patriarchy, local and global—this innovative book breaks
through feminist waves and explains the paradoxes of feminist
theory by demonstrating the on-going relevance of dialectics and
the concepts of exploitation, ideology, and reification. Drawing on
first, second, and third "waves" of feminist theory, this exciting
combination of existentialism, phenomenology, and critical theory
delivers a proactive feminism ready to respond to the challenges
presented by our thoroughly modern times.
Expressionism, Deleuze's philosophical commentary on Spinoza, is a critically important work because its conclusions provide the foundations for Deleuze's later metaphysical speculations on the nature of power, the body, difference and singularities. Deleuze and Spinoza is the first book to examine Deleuze's philosophical assessment of Spinoza and appraise his arguments concerning the Absolute, the philosophy of mind, epistemology and moral and political philosophy. The author respects and disagrees with Deleuze the philosopher and suggests that his arguments not only lead to eliminativism and an Hobbesian politics but that they also cast a mystifying spell.
Ranging from Aristotle to twentieth-century gynaecology,
contributions to this volume trace the semiotics of menstruation
from magical act to evolutionary deficiency. The result is the
first comprehensive historical study of how menstruation has been
understood within various cultural traditions, with reference to
political and social institutions, and medical and religious
practices. Includes a guide for scholars on bibliographical and
archival sources for the study of menstruation.
This revised and expanded edition, new in paperback, provides a
definitive collection on the current period in feminism known by
many as the 'third wave'. Three sections - genealogies and
generations, locales and locations, politics and popular culture -
interrogate the wave metaphor and, through questioning the
generational account of feminism, indicate possible future
trajectories for the feminist movement. New to this edition are an
interview with Luce Irigaray, a foreword by Imelda Whelehan as well
as newly commissioned chapters.
The concept of transcendence is emerging as a central category
of critical thought, both within and outside the field of religious
studies. This collection brings together prominent scholars to ask
whether we can re-conceive the category of transcendence from a
feminist perspective, taking into account ethics, women's
subjectivity, (sexed) embodiment, and differing models for
spirituality. The collection begins with a thought-provoking essay
by Luce Irigaray, with whose work the majority of contributions
engage. In a lucid and intuitive enquiry, contributors develop
these themes both philosophically and within the contexts of
Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Contributors come together in
groundbreaking ways to illuminate the intersections between women
and the divine.
