Harnessing the energy of provocative theories generated by recentunderstandings of the human body, the natural world, and the material world, Material Feminisms presents an entirely new way for feminists to conceive of thequestion of materiality. In lively and timely essays, an international group offeminist thinkers challenges the assumptions and norms that have previously definedstudies about the body. These wide-ranging essays grapple with topics such as thematerial reality of race, the significance of sexual difference, the impact ofdisability experience, and the complex interaction between nature and culture intraumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina. By insisting on the importance ofmateriality, this volume breaks new ground in philosophy, feminist theory, culturalstudies, science studies, and other fields where the body and naturecollide.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
