Feminist (Re)visions of the Subject : Landscapes, Ethnoscapes, and Theoryscapes Paperback / softback
Edited by Gail Currie, Celia E. Rothenberg
Paperback / softback
Description
Feminist (Re)visions utilizes the study of space and place—which extends through sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and area studies, historical perspectives, and philosophy—as a paradigm for cross-disciplinary inquiry.
Noting that both the study of space/place and feminism are transected by the lines of spacial, conceptual, and ontological disintegration in contemporary academia, Gail Currie and Celia Rothenberg have culled a collection of writings drawn together from feminist scholars across several disciplines to address three questions: how are subjects constituted in relation to the spaces and places they occupy; how are those spaces and places in turn negotiated and transformed; and how are feminists actively constructing new visions of the female subject in the context of the postmodern academic terrain?
This work sets the stage for the development of a productive feminist praxis in an academic world some fear has been relativized and depoliticized by the postmodern turn.
