Description
Margret Grebowicz's Gender after Lyotard explores the intersection of feminist theory and philosophy through the lens of Jean-François Lyotard's work. Despite Lyotard's significant contributions to the discussion of gender, his approach has often been overlooked by feminist thinkers.
This book seeks to rectify this oversight by examining how contemporary feminist concerns such as aesthetics, embodiment, performance, sexual difference, and ethics are already present in Lyotard's writings. Contributors discuss a range of topics including film theory, body modification, and postholocaust art, demonstrating the relevance of Lyotard's ideas to ongoing debates in feminist thought.
Featuring an afterword by James Williams, Gender after Lyotard offers a nuanced exploration of the relationship between feminism and continental philosophy. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers seeking to understand the intersection of these two fields.
