- Description
- Themes of embodiment and agency have long been central to feminist philosophical thought and have increasingly led feminists to extend their theorizing to encompass a range of identities shaped by processes of gender, race, class, disability, and sexuality. The intersection of these themes, however, has often been limited to analyzing how specific modes of socialized embodiment can be impediments to agency or autonomy. .This book brings together a range of theoretical perspectives and resources to the project in ways that stress possibilities as well as constraints. Contributors utilize phenomenology, psychoanalysis, care ethics, analytic philosophy, Hegelian critique, and postcolonial theory to examine embodiment and agency in contexts ranging from a child's struggle to find her own identity to global politics. Part I of this book explores how we become individually and collectively identified subjects through the possibilities for agency that arise from specific modes of embodiment. Part II continues the theme of embodied agency in contemporary sociopolitical contexts. It reconceptualizes the links between embodiment and moral agency in ways adequate to political realities, personal relationships, and collective responsibilities.

- Description
- This publication interrogates the politics of interculturality and translation to explore how key concepts of representation, responsibility, and complexity might be practically applied within feminist pedagogy. Interlinking pedagogical theories with collaborative teaching at the universities of Trento, Athens and Goldsmiths (London), the essays refuse to separate scholarship from politics, and theorizing from teaching. The experience of working jointly in transdisciplinary workshops and seminars aimed at gendered interculturality in the classroom is theorised to highlight issues of race, sexuality, religion, and migration and to question how to bring diverse feminist commitments into the lived present and the imagined future. Each essay presents its own definition of gendered interculturality, an exemplary teaching unit, and pedagogical theory.

- Description
- Adopting the notion of 'third world' as a political as well as a geographical category, this volume analyzes marginalized women's experiences of globalization. It unravels the intersections of race, culture, ethnicity, nationality and class which have shaped the position of these women in the global political economy, their cultural and their national history. In addition to a thematically structured and highly informative investigation, the authors offer an exploration of the policy implications which are commonly neglected in mainstream literature.

- Description
- 1968 is a watershed year in the history of revolutionary movements, one whose events reshape everything that follows. Drawing on archival research, close readings of texts and images, and political analysis to reframe these events in a comparative global context, this collection proposes new visions in how we think about 1968 and what has come since. It decenters the typical western tales told about 1968 by bringing in the vantage points of Havana, Mexico City, Prague, and Dakar, while offering new accounts of developments in Paris and San Francisco as well. The beaten, burning, and yearning bodies evoked here change how we think about the interconnections between emotions and politics
