Feminist Theory After Deleuze addresses the encounter between one
of the 20th century's most important philosophers, Gilles Deleuze,
and one of its most significant political and intellectual
movements, feminism. Feminist theory is a broad, contradictory, and
still evolving school of thought. This book introduces the key
movements within feminist theory, engaging with both Anglo-American
and French feminism, as well as important strains of feminist
thought that have originated in Australia and other parts of
Europe. Mapping both the feminist critique of Deleuze's work and
the ways in which it has brought vitality to feminist theory, this
book brings Deleuze into dialogue with significant thinkers such as
Simone de Beauvoir, Rosi Braidotti, Judith Butler, Elizabeth Grosz
and Luce Irigaray. It takes key terms in feminist theory such as,
'difference', 'gender', 'bodies', 'desire' and 'politics' and
approaches them from a Deleuzian perspective.
The Theory of Love: Ideals, Limits, Futures explores stories about
love that recuperate a vision of intimate life as a resource for
creating bonds beyond heterosexual coupledom. This book offers a
variety of ethical frames through which to understand changing
definitions of love, intimacy, and interdependency in the context
of struggles for marriage equality and the increasing recognition
of post-nuclear forms of kinship and care. It commits to these
post-nuclear arrangements, while pushing beyond the false choice
between a politics of collective action and the celebration of
deeply personal and incommunicable pleasures. In exploring the
vicissitudes of love across contemporary philosophy, politics,
film, new media, and literature, The Theory of Love: Ideals,
Limits, Futures develops an original post-sentimental concept of
love as a way to explain emergent intimacies and affiliations
beyond the binary couple. This book will appeal to academics and
postgraduate students across the humanities and social sciences, as
well as being a teachable resource for undergraduate students. It
will appeal to a wide range of academics and students in literary
and film studies, philosophy, gender and sexuality studies, and
critical and cultural studies.
This book considers how we encounter and make meaning from
extinction in diverse settings and cultures. It brings together an
international and interdisciplinary range of scholars to consider
how extinction is memorialised in museums and cultural
institutions, through monuments, in literature and art, through
public acts of ritual and protest, and in everyday practices. In an
era in which species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate,
we must find new ways to engage critically, creatively, and
courageously with species loss. Extinction and Memorial Culture:
Reckoning with Species Loss in the Anthropocene develops the
conceptual tools to think in complex ways about extinctions and
their aftermath, along with providing new insights into
commemorating and mourning more-than-human lives. This book will be
of great interest to students and scholars of the environmental
humanities, extinction studies, memorial culture, and the
Anthropocene.
How do poets, writers and cultural critics contend with and
represent the garden or their own gardening as they are changed by
austerity? Gardening under austerity encompasses a diversity of
places, spaces, practices, and actors: suburban allotments and
zoological gardens, Victory diggers and urban foragers, human
gardeners and the unruly more-than-human world. Theorizing the
politics, poetics and practices of austerity gardening in twentieth
and twenty-first century Anglophone cultural texts, The Poetics and
Politics of Gardening in Hard Times explores the variegated impact
of austerity in conjunction with the representation of the garden
in the national context of England in the mid-century, and how
garden imagery is embedded within and illuminates the political,
economic, and social contexts of literary production.
