"Digital Femininities: The Gendered Construction of Cultural and Political Identities Online examines the role of new media technologies in the production of girls' cultural and political identities. The book argues that the varied and complex spaces which make up our 'social media' should be conceptualised as important terrains upon which neoliberal and postfeminist subjectivities can be both reproduced and subverted. In doing so, the book explores many key issues underpinning current debates around gender politics and digital media, including gendered spatial politics, visibility, surveillance and regulation, beauty politics, and civic and political engagement and activism. Over the last decade, the position of girls and young women within the digital landscape of social media has been a topic of much debate. On the one hand, girls' social media practices are presented as a key site of concern, wherein new digital technologies are said to have produced an intensification of individualized, neoliberal and postfeminist identities. Conversely, others have championed access to social media for young people as a potentially revolutionary political tool, enabling previously marginalized political subjects (such as girls) to access and participate within new and exciting political cultures. Locating itself at the intersection of these two approaches, this book offers a fresh contribution to these debates. Based upon the findings from focus groups with girls and young women aged between 12 and 18 in England, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the digital cultures that emerged from the study. This timely book will be essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary femininity and feminism and the role of digital media in the production of cultural, political and gendered identities"--

"Remaindered Life is a feminist analysis of the role that the disposable life-times (and not just labor) of dispossessed peoples play in contemporary modes of accumulation of wealth and power. Neferti X. M. Tadiar provides a conceptual vocabulary and framework for rethinking the dynamics of contemporary global capitalism in terms of the production and consumption of vastly discrepant "life-times" (rather than labor-time), by foregrounding the significant role of disposable life and its forms of social reproduction in a financialized global urban economy, which is directly dependent on permanent war as a mode and strategy of capitalist enterprise. It describes how imperialism continues to secure the vital reproduction of the capital-labor relation through wars of dispossession, which actively waste life (making it disposable) to reap unaccounted gains from the life-making of survival of the colonial and postcolonial peoples it tries to destroy."--

In Marx, Women and Capitalist Social Reproduction , Martha E. Gimenez offers a distinctive perspective on social reproduction which posits that the relations of production determine the relations of social reproduction, and links the effects of class exploitation and location to forms of oppression predominantly theorised in terms of identity. Grounding her analysis on Marx’s theory and methodology, Gimenez examines the relationship between class, reproduction and the oppression of women in different contexts such as the reproduction of labour power, domestic labour, feminisation of poverty, and reproductive technologies. Because most women and men, whether members of dominant or oppressed groups, are working class, she argues that the future of feminist politics is inextricably tied to class politics and the fate of capitalism.
