Feminism and feminist theory Books

Book SynopsisThis book brings together feminist academics and lawyers to present an impressive collection of alternative judgments in a series of Australian legal cases. By re-imagining original legal decisions through a feminist lens, the collection explores the possibilities, limits and implications of feminist approaches to legal decision-making. Each case is accompanied by a brief commentary that places it in legal and historical context and explains what the feminist rewriting does differently to the original case. The cases not only cover topics of long-standing interest to feminist scholars – such as family law, sexual offences and discrimination law – but also areas which have had less attention, including Indigenous sovereignty, constitutional law, immigration, taxation and environmental law. The collection contributes a distinctly Australian perspective to the growing international literature investigating the role of feminist legal theory in judicial decision-making.Trade ReviewAustralian Feminist Judgments is a valuable extension of the emerging feminist judgement-writing genre. -- Heather Roberts * Legal Studies, Vol 35(3) *The book is a fascinating and refreshing approach to judging.

Book SynopsisThe history of the Irish republican movement is dominated by the story of the men who took up arms in Ireland's fight for freedom against the British. The names of men like Pearse, Connolly, Collins and Barry still resonate today as heroes who won independence for Ireland. However, the critical role of women in this fight for freedom has often been overlooked. Renegades examines the part played by women in the major political and social revolutions that took place from 1900– 1922. It explores the growing separation of republican women into two distinct groups, those active on the military side in Cumann na mBan and those involved on the political side, particularly with Sinn Féin. It also looks at the often ignored 'war on women', which manifested itself in the form of physical and sexual assaults by both sides during the War of Independence, and the fury of female republicans as the political establishment accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In this evocative account, Renegades restores the women of the republican movement to the prominent place they deserve in Irish history.

Book SynopsisApplying recent thinking on gender and the environment to original research in science and technology, this unique book explores postcolonial relationships with ‘the wild‘ using the US and Russia as examples. The authors analyse contemporary categorizations of ‘human self‘ versus ‘wild other‘ through three twentieth century icons that best illustrate ambivalent ideas about self and other: spaceships, horoscopes and dolphins. The book includes interviews with astrologers, wilderness guides, dolphin trainers and academic staff of space agencies from both Russia and the US.The interviews highlight some interesting differences between these two cultures in ideas both about gender and about self/other boundaries. The authors also look at representations of the space race in film and science fiction in both cultures, as well as New Age and other texts on dolphins, astrology and space travel. Cosmodolphins shows how all three icons partly reproduce and partly alter the earlier, colonial self/other dichotomy of woman, native and nature against the ‘civilized‘ technologically masterful male self. We see how a particular icon of the wild - the dolphin - is elevated to mythological status, how a secularized society looks for spiritual fulfilment in the `beyond‘ - astrology - and in its own technological advances - space travel. Theoretically innovative, this book represents an alternative approach to ecofeminist themes linking them up with studies of new technocultures and cyborgs. It forms an excellent exemplar of feminist cultural studies.Trade Review'This is a breath-taking ride through the cutting edge of contemporary cultural critique. From the exploration of outer space to the bottom of the sea, the book has a global reach... Witty, even wicked at times, it’s NASA through Bakhtin’s eyes and Flipper meets Foucault... A delight to read.' Rosi Braidotti 'Through reading of post world War II stories of space flight, New Age astrology and dolphin mythology, Mette Bryld and Nina Lykke effectively deconstruct the Euro-American phallocentric mission to civilize the wild trinity of woman-native-nature.' Govind Kelkar, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand 'Mette Bryld & Nina Lykke's Cosmodolphins is one of those rare books that can startle the reader into fresh ways of seeing things... Cosmodolphins does a brilliant job of theorizing the cosmos and of inspiring other feminist cultural critics to do likewise.' Sylvia Bowerbank, McMaster University, Canada 'This inspiring work of necessary de-stabilization and de-naturalization puts feminist culture studies forward into the questions of livable future.'

Book SynopsisHow far did women support Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts? This reference aims to fill a significant gap in the historiography of British fascism, which has generally overlooked the contribution of the women's movement to Britain's fascist experience. Looking at female fascist activism and the influence of feminist ideology on the fascist agenda, Gottlieb shows the significant impact of feminist thought in this area. In spite of its mainstream vocal opposition to fascism, parts of the women's movement as Gottlieb demonstrates, had an implicit connection with the British Union of Fascists.Trade Review'...it must be emphatically stated that this is both an original and important book which has major significance for both gender studies, and the history of British Fascism.' -English Historical Review 'If anyone was tempted to believe, given the plethora of works on British fascism, that there was little left to say, Julia Gottlieb's Feminine Fascism would disabuse them.' -Times Higher EducationTable of ContentsIntroduction - feminine Fascism - women in Britain's Fascist movement, 1923-45; feminized Fascism - Rotha Lintorn-Orman and the British Fascists, 1923-35; women in the British Union of Fascists - organization and forms of participation; the ideology of feminine Fascism; the legacy of the suffragettes to British Fascism; Mosley's women and Mosley's woman - the leader's sexual politics; behind bars and barbed wire - women's experiences of internment under defence regulation 18B, 1940-45; conclusion -women, Fascism and fanaticism, past and present; appendix - who's who in the history of women and Fascism in Britain.

Book Synopsis2014 is WAF's 25th anniversary year, and this book maps the development of the organisation over the past 25 years, through the life stories and political reflections of some of its members. It focuses on the ways in which lived contradictions have been reflected in their politics. Their stories describe the pathways that led them to WAF, and the role WAF has played in their lives and in the different forms of politicial activism in which they have engaged. Discussing feminist activism from a wide variety of different ethnic and religious backgrounds, contributors highlight the complex relationships of belonging that are at the heart of contemporary social life - including the problems of exclusionary political projects of belonging. They also explore the ways in which anti-fundamentalism relates to broader feminist, anti-racist and other emancipatory political ideologies and movements. The personal stories at the centre of this book are those of women whose lives enact the complexities of multiple (if shifting and contingent) mutually constitutive axes of power and difference. Much of their concerns therefore relate to crossing the boundaries of collectivity and practising a 'dialogical transversal politics' that has developed as an alternative to identity politics.Trade ReviewThis timely book should inspire younger generations of activists to pick up the torch, to lead simultaneously anti-racist and anti-fundamentalist feminist politics. With the xenophobic far right rising and communalism turning beliefs and cultures into identity politics' weapons, women's rights, citizenship and secular traditions are at stake. The spirit of WAF, its rare political clarity, its true internationalism, are more than ever needed. Marieme Helie Lucas, founder of Women Living Under Muslim Laws The powerful analyses and reflections of diverse women in the UK fighting authoritarian religious movements are documented here in all their brilliance and honesty. This is a resource in the best sense: of the refusal to submit, the courage to challenge, the strength to reflect critically. In a turbulent and complex period global - religious atrocities, military invasions, and a brutal war against the dignity and personhood of women - this book shows us that we can and must face many ways at once if progressive global politics is to have a future. Professor Chetan Bhatt, London School of Economics and Political Science There is much to learn from, and much to celebrate, in these pages: a feminist, anti-racist politics which supports religious freedom and expression but which challenges fundamentalism in all its forms, combined with compelling testaments to the intermingling of the personal and the political in private and public life. As individual accounts and as the documentation of an important social movement, these inspiring political narratives provide insight into one of the most complex and persistent challenges of our time.

Book SynopsisThis book investigates what women enjoy about consuming, and in some cases producing, gay male erotic media–from slashfic, to pornographic texts, to visual pornography–and how this sits within their consumption of erotica and pornography more generally. In addition, it will examine how women’s use of gay male erotic media fits in with their perceptions of gender and sexuality. By drawing on a piece of wide-scale mixed methods research that examines these motivations, an original and important volume is presented that serves to explore and contribute to this under-researched area.

Book SynopsisThis book examines the first thirty years of Elizabeth I’s reign from the perspective of the Valois kings, Charles IX and Henri III of France. Estelle Paranque sifts through hundreds of French letters and ambassadorial reports to construct a fuller picture of early modern Anglo-French relations, highlighting key events such as the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, the imprisonment and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the victory of England over the Spanish Armada in 1588. By drawing on a wealth of French sources, she illuminates the French royal family’s shifting perceptions of Elizabeth I and suggests new conclusions about her reign.Trade Review“This book offers an interesting insight not just into England’s relationship with France and Elizabeth’s relationship with the Duke of Alençon, but also her relationship with his ambassadors and how she was able to control the proceedings. … It would be useful for anyone studying England’s relationship with France or anyone who wants to find out more about Elizabeth’s marriage negotiations with the country.” (Tudor Life, Issue 56, April, 2019)Table of Contents

Book SynopsisWhilst he broaches the theme of the difference between the sexes, Hegel does not go deep enough into the question of their mutual desire as a crucial stage in our becoming truly human. He ignores the dialectical process regarding sensitivity and sensuousness. And yet this is needed to make spiritual the relation between two human subjectivities differently determined by nature and to ensure the connection between body and spirit, nature and culture, private life and public life. This leads Hegel to fragment human subjectivity into yearnings for art, religion and philosophy thereby losing the unity attained through the cultivation of a longing for the absolute born of a desire for one another as different.Furthermore, our epoch of history is different from the Hegelian one and demands that we consider additional aspects of human subjectivity. This is essential if we are to overcome the nihilism inherent in our traditional metaphysics without falling into a worse nihilism due to a lack of rigorous thinking common today.The increasing power of technique and technologies as well as the task of building a world culture are two other challenges we face. Our sexuate belonging provides us with a universal living determination of our subjectivity – now a dual subjectivity - and also with a natural energy potential which allows us to use technical resources without becoming dependent on them.Table of Contents1. ​Hypothesis: Longing for another Absolute than Knowledge2.

Book Synopsis2022 Winner of the Palestine Book AwardsRooted in feminist ethnography and decolonial feminist theory, this book explores the subjectivity of Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli prisons, as shaped by resistance. Ashjan Ajour examines how these prisoners use their bodies in anti-colonial resistance; what determines this mode of radical struggle; the meanings they ascribe to their actions; and how they constitute their subjectivity while undergoing extreme bodily pain and starvation. These hunger strikes, which embody decolonisation and liberation politics, frame the post-Oslo period in the wake of the decline of the national struggle against settler-colonialism and the fragmentation of the Palestinian movement. Providing narrative and analytical insights into embodied resistance and tracing the formation of revolutionary subjectivity, the book sheds light on the participants’ views of the hunger strike, as they move beyond customary understandings of the political into the realm of the ‘spiritualisation’ of struggle. Drawing on Foucault’s conception of the technologies of the self, Fanon’s writings on anti-colonial violence, and Badiou’s militant philosophy, Ajour problematises these concepts from the vantage point of the Palestinian hunger strike. Table of Contents1: Introduction.- 2: Hunger Strike Resistance: A Brief History.- 3: Field Work and Reflection on Challenges: Feminist and Decolonial Approaches.- 4: Producing Knowledge and Understanding Subjectivity through Lived Experience.- 5: Theoretical Framework: Theories of Subjectivity and Subjectivation.- 6: Dispossession of Humanity: The Pre-hunger Strike Stage.- 7: Reclaiming Dispossessed Humanity: The Decision to Hunger Strike.- 8: The Embodiment of Humanity: Technologies of the Self and Resistance in the Hunger Strike.- 9: ‘Strength’, Conflict, and the Body in Pain.- 10: Self-Determination and the Struggle with Death.- 11: Strength, Continuity and Steadfastness (Sumud).- 12: The Meaning of Victory: Sovereignty Over the Body in the Hunger Strikers’ Philosophy of Freedom.- 13: Conceptualising a Limit-Experience: The Hunger Strike as a Near-Death.- 14: Conclusion.
