内容説明
It has been argued that the discourses of western culture are thoroughly masculinist and offer no place for women. Women's only possibilities are to speak in a masculine voice, construct a new language, or be silent. Foucault's highly influential analyses of power and knowledge would therefore be irrelevant for the women's movement, and use of his discourse might even undermine feminism as an emancipatory project. In this book, Jana Sawicki argues that a Foucaldian feminism is possible. She rejects the view that the power of the phallocentric is total. Instead, like Foucault, she sees discourse as ambiguous, a source of conflict. Emphasizing Foucault's later works, she fleshes out his undeveloped remarks about resistance in order to show how his discourse can be used to support specific liberation struggles, particularly those for sexual and reproductive freedom. At the same time she develops constructive critiques of certain tendencies in current feminist analyses that threaten to suppress differences among women. She looks at mothering theory and asks in a geneological vein, when did the idea of the mother as an emotional nurturer emerge?; and when did the idea of women's status as reproducer appear?
This book should be of interest to advanced students and lecturers of feminist theory and continental philosophy.

内容説明
In this book, the author attempts to integrate previous work on Foucault with feminist theory. She expands discussion of feminism and sexual liberation, charts the impact of Foucault on humanistic studies, and picks up an aspect of the mothering theme, the question of new reproductive technologies.
