Abstract

A progenitor of modern egalitarianism, communitarianism, and participatory democracy, Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a philosopher whose deep concern with the relationship between the domains of private domestic and public political life has made him especially interesting to feminist theorists, but also has made him very controversial. The essays in this volume, representing a wide range of feminist interpretations of Rousseau, explore the many tensions in his thought that arise from his unique combination of radical and traditional perspectives on gender relations and the state. Among the topics addressed by the contributors are the connections between Rousseau’s political vision of the egalitarian state and his view of the ";natural"; role of women in the family; Rousseau’s apparent fear of the actual danger and power of women; important questions Rousseau raised about child care and gender relations in individualist societies that feminists should address; the founding of republics; the nature of consent; the meaning of citizenship; and the conflation of modern universal ideals of democratic citizenship with modern masculinity, leading to the suggestion that the latter is as fragile a construction as the former. Overall this volume makes an important contribution to a core question at the hinge of modernism and postmodernism: how modern, egalitarian notions of social contract, premised on universality and objective reason, can yet result in systematic exclusion of social groups, including women.Contributors are Leah Bradshaw, Melissa A. Butler, Anne Harper, Sarah Kofman, Rebecca Kukla, Lynda Lange, Ingrid Makus, Lori J. Marso, Mira Morgenstern, Susan Moller Okin, Alice Ormiston, Penny Weiss, Elie Wiestad, Elizabeth Wingrove, Monique Wittig, and Linda Zerilli.

Abstract

Feministische und queere Theorien sind mit ganz besonderen Figuren ausgestaltet: die »Sister« der zweiten Frauenbewegung, die »Cyborg« von Donna Haraway, das »Nomadic Subject« von Rosi Braidotti, die »New Mestiza« von Gloria Anzaldúa und die »Drag« von Judith Butler. Welche Funktionen erfüllen Begriffspersonen innerhalb von Genderdiskursen? Welche Wirkungen haben sie auf Leser_innen und Denker_innen? Und vor allem: Wo liegen die Potenziale dieser Figuren für Denken, Erkennen und politisches Handeln? Kirstin Mertlitsch zeigt auf, welche wissenschaftlichen Theorien und Schlüsselkonzepte queer-feministische Begriffspersonen verkörpern und ausagieren. Sie analysiert erstmals, in welchen rationalen, emotional-affektiven und körperlich-materiellen Dimensionen Wissen vermittelt und Erkenntnisprozesse ermöglicht werden. »Mertlitschs mit konsequenter Schärfe durchgeführte und strukturierte Rekonstruktion, die anspruchsvoll, aber dennoch gut zu lesen ist sowie die umfangreiche Einbettung der Begriffspersonen in zeitgenössische wie klassische Literatur stellt insgesamt einen richtungsweisenden Beitrag zur queeren und feministischen Philosophie dar, indem sie ein Denken jenseits der männlichen ›ratio‹ eröffnet.« Folke Brodersen, www.querelles.net, 18/1 (2017) »Mertlitschs Leistung besteht in der theoretischen Zusammenführung verschiedener queer-feministischer Denkfiguren, die vom Differenz- über Chicana-Feminismus bis hin zur Feminist Technoscience reichen.« Anna-Lena Berscheid, Feministische Studien, 2 (2016) »Ein origineller Einstieg in die Theorien, deren Probleme und Lösungen.« André Reichert, Zeitschrift für philosophische Literatur, 4 (2016) »Mit ihrer Analyse zeigt die Autor_in nicht nur in kompakter und lebensnaher Weise, wie sich feministische und queer-feministische Erkenntnisweisen über die Jahrzehnte entwickelt haben, sondern auch mögliche Wege zu deren Weiterentwicklung hin zu einer queer-feministischen und damit intersektionalen Ontoepistemologie.« Roswitha Hofmann, WeiberDiwan, 7 (2016) Besprochen in: Bulletin Info, 53 (2016), Kathleen Heft

Abstract

Feminist Review is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal setting new agendas for feminism. Feminist Review invites critical reflection on the relationship between materiality and representation, theory and practice, subjectivity and communities, contemporary and historical formations. The Feminist Review Collective is committed to exploring gender in its multiple forms and interrelationships. Feminist Review resists the increasing instrumentalisation of scholarship within British and international higher education and thus supports the generation of creative and innovative approaches to knowledge production. As well as academic articles we publish experimental pieces, visual and textual media and political interventions, including, for example, interviews, short stories, poems and photographic essays. When Feminist Review first appeared in 1979 it described itself as a socialist and feminist journal, ‘a vehicle to unite research and theory with political practice, and contribute to the development of both’. Challenges of race, class and sexuality have been central to the development of the journal. Forty years later, FR remains committed to these core values.

Abstract

Revealing Male Bodies is the first scholarly collection to directly confront male lived experience. There has been an explosion of work in men's studies, masculinity issues, and male sexuality, in addition to a growing literature exploring female embodiment. Missing from the current literature, however, is a sustained analysis of the phenomenology of male-gendered bodies. Revealing Male Bodies addresses this omission by examining how male bodies are physically and experientially constituted by the economic, theoretical, and social practices in which men are immersed.
