Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. 'The location of the author's investigations, the body itself ratherthan the sphere of subjective representations of self and of function in cultures, is wholly new. I believe this work will be a landmark in future feministthinking.' -- Alphonso Lingis 'This is a text of rareerudition and intellectual force. It will not only introduce feminists to anenriching set of theoretical perspectives but sets a high critical standard forfeminist dialogues on the status of the body.' -- Judith Butler Volatile Bodies demonstrates that the sexually specific body issocially constructed: biology or nature is not opposed to or in conflict withculture. Human biology is inherently social and has no pure or natural'origin' outside of culture. Being the raw material of social and culturalorganization, it is 'incomplete' and thus subject to the endless rewritingand social inscription that constitute all sign systems. Examiningthe theories of Freud, Lacan, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, etc. on thesubject of the body, Elizabeth Grosz concludes that the body they theorize is male.These thinkers are not providing an account of 'human' corporeality but ofmale corporeality. Grosz then turns to corporeal experiences unique to women --menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, menopause. Her examination of femaleexperience lays the groundwork for developing theories of sexed corporeality ratherthan merely rectifying flawed models of male theorists.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1988, Crossing Boundaries challenges existing disciplines and fields of study from a feminist perspective, contesting their presumptions, and questioning and crossing their boundaries.The book provides a broad-ranging overview of the state of feminist interventions in the social and natural sciences and the humanities. It illustrates something of the diversity of approaches to theory and scholarship which is evident in the work of feminists. It analyses crucial problems in the way traditional knowledges are conceived, and poses exciting new alternatives.Here is a lively display of the vigour of feminist investigations, from mathematics to literary criticism, from biology to socialism, from equal pay to polyandry. This book will introduce the reader to the work of feminist thinkers and will be a valuable text for students and teachers of sociology and women's studies.…
