Beyond Gender (eBook, ePUB)

An Advanced Introduction to Futures of Feminist and Sexuality Studies
Redaktion: Olson, Greta; Schmidt, Regina Leonie; Hartley, Daniel; Horn-Schott, Mirjam

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Arguing for the notion of multiple futurities over that of progressive waves, Beyond Gender combines theoretical work with practical applications to provide an advanced introduction to contemporary feminist and sexuality research and advocacy. This comprehensive monograph documents the diversification of gender-related disciplines and struggles, arguing for a multidisciplinary approach to issues formerly subsumed under the unified field of gender studies. Split into two parts, the volume demonstrates how the notion of gender has been criticised by various theories pertaining to masculinity, feminism, and sexuality, and also illustrates how the binary and hierarchical ordering system of gender has been troubled or overcome in practice: in queer performance, legal critique, the classroom, and textual analysis.
