Feminist Visual Activism and the Body, Hardback Book

Feminist Visual Activism and the Body Hardback

Edited by Basia Sliwinska

Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and Art series

Hardback

Description

This book examines contemporary feminist visual activism(s) through the lens of embodiment(s).

The contributors explore how the arts articulate and engage with the current sense of crisis and political concerns (e.g. equality, decolonisation, social justice, democracy, precarity, vulnerability), negotiated with and through the body.

Drawing upon the legacy of feminist art historical critique, the book scrutinises activist strategies, practices and resilience techniques in intersectional and transnational frameworks.

It interrogates how the arts enable the creation of civil and political resilience, become engaged with politics as a response to disaster capitalism and attempt to reform and improve society.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, fine arts, women’s studies, gender studies, feminism and cultural studies.
