Distinguished feminist philosophers consider the future of their
field and chart its political and ethical course in this
forward-looking volume. Engaging with themes such as the historical
trajectory of feminist phenomenology, ways of perceiving and making
sense of the contemporary world, and the feminist body in health
and ethics, these essays affirm the base of the discipline as well
as open new theoretical spaces for work that bridges bioethics,
social identity, physical ability, and the very nature and
boundaries of the female body. Entanglements with thinkers such as
Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Beauvoir, and Arendt are evident and
reveal new directions for productive philosophical work. Grounded
in the richness of the feminist philosophical tradition, this work
represents a significant opening to the possible futures of
feminist phenomenological research.
Focusing on the first four images of the Other mobilized in
Descartes' Meditations-namely, the blind, the mad, the dreamy, and
the bad-Reading Descartes Otherwise casts light on what have
heretofore been the phenomenological shadows of "Cartesian
rationality." In doing so, it discovers dynamic signs of spectral
alterity lodged both at the core and on the edges of modern
Cartesian subjectivity. Calling for a Copernican reorientation of
the very notion "Cartesianism," the book's series of close,
creatively critical readings of Descartes' signature images brings
the dramatic forces, moments, and scenes of the cogito into our own
contemporary moment. The author patiently unravels the knotted
skeins of ambiguity that have been spun within philosophical
modernity out of such cliches as "Descartes, the abstract modern
subject" and "Descartes, the father of modern philosophy"-a figure
who is at once everywhere and nowhere. In the process, she
revitalizes and reframes the legacy of Cartesian modernity, in a
way more mindful of its proto-phenomenological traces.

Queering Contemporary Asian American Art takes Asian American
differences as its point of departure, and brings together artists
and scholars to challenge normative assumptions, essentialisms, and
methodologies within Asian American art and visual culture. Taken
together, these nine original artist interviews, cutting-edge
visual artworks, and seven critical essays explore contemporary
currents and experiences within Asian American art, including the
multiple axes of race and identity, queer bodies and forms, kinship
and affect, and digital identities and performances. Using the verb
and critical lens of "queering" to capture transgressive cultural,
social, and political engagement and practice, the contributors to
this volume explore the connection points in Asian American
experience and cultural production of surveillance states,
decolonization and diaspora, transnational adoption, and
transgender bodies and forms, as well as heteronormative
respectability, the military, and war. The interdisciplinary and
theoretically informed frameworks in the volume engage readers to
understand global and historical processes through contemporary
Asian American artistic production.
