• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Feminism and Deconstruction" incisively examines the contemporary relevance of setting these movements beside one another. Diane Elam has written an intelligent and accessible introduction, which explores how feminism and deconstruction have been linked -- as theories and movements, as philosophies and disciplines. Elam's work allows the reader to rethink the political and contemplate the possibility that there is indeed life after identity politics. "Feminism and Deconstruction" is essential reading for anyone who needs a no-nonsense but stimulating guide through one of the mazes of contemporary theory.
