Description
Fifty Concepts for a Critical Phenomenology offers fresh perspectives on classic phenomenological topics and introduces new concepts developed by feminist theorists, critical race theorists, disability theorists, and queer and trans theorists. This collection breathes new life into the phenomenological tradition, centering historically marginalized perspectives to reveal its ethical, social, and political promise. By exploring experiences of marginalization, oppression, and power, this book identifies and transforms common experiences of injustice that render "the familiar" a site of oppression for many. It will be an invaluable resource for teaching and research in continental philosophy, feminist studies, critical race theory, disability studies, cultural studies, and critical theory. This volume is a valuable contribution to the phenomenological tradition, providing new insights into the intersections of ethics, politics, and everyday experience.
