Gender, Politics, and the Nation-State in an Age of Permanent War
Herausgeber: Diedrich, Lisa; Hesford, Victoria

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Feminist Time Against Nation Time offers a series of essays that explore the complex and oftentimes contradictory relationship between feminism and nationalism through a problematization of contemporality. The collection pursues the following questions: how do the specific temporalities of nationalism and war limit and delimit public spaces in which dissent might happen; and how might we account for the often contradictory and ambiguous relationship of "feminism" and "nationalism" through an exploration of the problem of time?
