- Description
- In contemporary feminist theory, the problem of feminine subjectivity persistently appears and reappears as the site that grounds all discussion of feminism. In Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom, Linda M. G. Zerilli argues that the persistence of this subject-centered frame severely limits feminists' capacity to think imaginatively about the central problem of feminist theory and practice: a politics concerned with freedom. Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, Zerilli here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting 'women' as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment. She revisits the democratic problem of exclusion from participation in common affairs and elaborates a freedom-centered feminism as the political practice of beginning anew, world-building, and judging. In a series of case studies, Zerilli draws on the political thought of Hannah Arendt to articulate a nonsovereign conception of political freedom and to explore a variety of feminist understandings of freedom in the twentieth century, including ones proposed by Judith Butler, Monique Wittig, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective. In so doing, Zerilli hopes to retrieve what Arendt called feminism's lost treasure: the original and radical claim to political freedom.

- Description
- This publication was inspired by papers presented at the international historical conference of Women Scholars and Institutions organized by the Research Center for History of Science and the Commission Women in Science of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science. The National Contact Center - Women & Science and the Sociological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic chaired one of the conference’s sections called Gendered Knowledge: The Reshaping of “Normal” Science. The publication is the result of joint work of the panelists and organizers of the section and also corresponds with the Center’s focus. The Center’s mission is to promote the position of women in science, and we have been continuously confronted with the idea that this issue cannot be reduced to the mere proportion of women working at research institutions and activities aiming at increasing their numbers.
