内容説明

This text investigates the crucial theoretical and political debates that have determined the course of British and United States feminism over the last 30 years. As intellectual terrain has shifted during these decades from Marxism to cultural materialism and post-structuralist literary theory, questions of race and ethnicity, sexuality, post-coloniality and green politics have converged and sometimes collided with the categories of gender and class on feminist agendas. By exploring some wide-ranging theoretical interests, the authors not only introduce major controversies within feminism, but analyze many of the most important texts and movements of contemporary cultural theory. Offering not so much a unified history as an analysis of important moments within these debates, this book examines the work of such feminist theorists as Michele Barrett, Judith Butler, Rosalind Coward, Donna Haraway and bellhooks. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of cultural studies, literary theory, feminist theory, social and political theory, and women's studies.

内容説明

Materialist Feminisms investigates the crucial theoretical and political debates that have determined the course of British and American feminism over the last thirty years. As intellectual terrain has shifted during these decades from Marxism to cultural materialism and poststructuralist literary theory, questions of race and ethnicity, sexuality, postcoloniality, and green politics have converged and sometimes collided with the categories within feminism, but analyze many of the most important texts and movements of contemporary cultural theory. Offering not so much a unified history as an analysis of important moments within these debates, this book examines the work of such feminist theorists as MichUle Barrett, Judith Butler, Rosalind Coward, Donna Haraway, bell hooks, the m/f collective, Tania Modleski, Jacqueline Rose, Gayle Rubin, Hortense Spillers, and Gayatri Spivak. Materialist Feminisms includes new, exemplary readings of feminist detective, African-American, and postcolonial fiction, three kinds of textures commodity currently fetishized in the literary marketplace. What might the success of these kinds of writing signify about politics and desire in contemporary Anglo-American culture? Demonstrating how the poststructuralis critique of essences and identities need not end in a complete paralysis of political action, as has sometimes been claimed, Materialist Feminisms argues that feminism, soicalism, and deconstruction are not theoretical dead ends, but names for unfinished business.
