Queering Economy
Redaktion: Dhawan, Nikita; Woltersdorff, Volker; Holzhey, Christoph; Engel, Antke

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Employing feminist, queer, and postcolonial perspectives, Global Justice and Desire addresses economy as a key ingredient in the dynamic interplay between modes of subjectivity, signification and governance. Bringing together a range of international contributors, the book proposes that both analyzing justice through the lens of desire, and considering desire through the lens of justice, are vital for exploring economic processes.
