- Description
- This book provides an introduction to Butler's work, plus a critical examination of it and its precursors, both feminist (including Simone de Beauvoir, Monique Wittig, Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray), and non-feminist (including Erving Goffman, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida). The volume covers such topics as: gender as performance and performativity, sociological notions of performance, the materiality of the body and the role of biology, power, identity and social regulation, subjectivity, agency and feminist political practice. This book also covers melancholia and gender identity, performativity and 'race', social change and transformation, and Butler’s shifting relation to psychoanalysis.

- In zeven essays wordt duidelijk gemaakt hoe in het verleden tegen het binnenste van het levende lichaam werd aangekeken terwijl in de 20ste eeuw nieuwe idealen kwamen met andere visies door veranderende technologie, de populaire media, cultuur en wetenschap. Aan de orde komen: de operatiefilm als mediaspektakel, plastinatie in de kunst, de endoscopische reis door het lichaam, röntgenfotografie, echoscopie van de foetus en het digitaliseren van kadavers.

- Description
- Bioethics and the body are discussed in feminist and postmodernist terms. Issues in philosophy, law, bioscientific research, psychiatry, cultural studies, and feminism are addressed. After exploring theories of difference, the authors consider specific issues—including HIV, addiction, borderline personality disorder, disability and cancer—that challenge the principles of conventional bioethics. The traditional feminist ethics of care in the context of new reproductive technology is discussed as well as genetic and genomic issues, and some specifically anomalous forms of being-in-the-body, such as intersex conditions.

- Description
- In this collection of essays an international group of feminist thinkers challenges the assumptions and norms that have previously defined studies about the body. They insist on the importance of materiality in feminist theory, and in other fields where the body and nature collide, such as philosophy, feminist theory, cultural studies, and science studies. The essays grapple with topics such as the material reality of race, the significance of sexual difference, the impact of disability experience, and the complex interaction between nature and culture in traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina.

- Description
- A collection of fifteen original essays analyzing gender in the imagery of science.The book focuses on visual and figural images as a way to study the workings of gender in science, and on gender as a way to examine how images in science contain and convey meaning. Roughly chronological in organization, part one focuses on mythological and metaphorical depictions of gender in early frontispieces, while part two looks at realistic images such as photos, illustrations, and exhibits from the nineteenth century. Part three highlights the workings of cultural norms of gender in twentieth-century science, illustrated through discussions of photos, television shows, advertising, and digital imagery. A common theme in the book is an emphasis on questions of representation and interpretive problems such as agency and identity. The volume explores a host of themes, including the gendered cultures of science and medicine, technologies of display, and the role of sexualities and sexual difference in the construction of figural vocabularies of science.

- Description
- In this dossier about biology Alice Schwarzer writes about her book 'Der kleine Unterschied'. The book was published in 1975. It was more about the big social causes, and the roles in name of the sexes than about the small biological differences. Sigrid Schmitz, researcher, pays attention to the exploration of the brains, hormones, genes and goes into the differences or similarities of the sexes. Ben Barres who used to be a woman is surprised by how good he is treated as a male scientist. Archeologist Brigitte Röder examines why cavemen prefer blonds. Genderresearcher Gabriele Kämper inspects the inequality of human beings with the focus on the inferiority of women. Chantal Louis goes into gender mainstreaming.
