Descriere
As
women's
studies
departments
and
programs
undergo
rapid
transformation
in
higher
education,
there
has
been
a
burgeoning
demand
for
instructional
material
that
addresses
feminist
and
queer
studies
at
all
levels
in
the
curricula.
Feminist
and
Queer
Theory:
An
Intersectional
and
Transnational
Reader
reflects
this
vibrantly
expanding
field
and
meets
the
urgent
need
for
theory
courses.Feminist
and
Queer
Theory:
An
Intersectional
and
Transnational
Reader
is
not
simply
a
feminist
theory
text
that
includes
queer
theories;
rather,
it
theorizes
at
the
intersection
of
feminist
and
queer
theories,
and
by
doing
so,
transforms
and
reshapes
the
boundaries
of
the
fields.
The
book
invites
students
to
think
critically
about
the
limitations
of
understanding
feminist
theory
as
separate,
but
tangentially
related,
to
queer
theory
and
moves
them
beyond
transnationalism
as
"additive"to
U.S.-centered
intersectional
perspectives.
The
book
frames
feminist
and
queer
inquiry
as
being
articulated
through
each
other
and
within
a
global
context.
It
also
provide
new
voices—scholarly,
activist,
and
creative—inside
and
outside
the
U.S.
that
are
shaping
the
field
and
selections
that
highlight
theimportance
of
im/migration
and
borders
as
well
as
science,
technology,
and
digital
cultures.
Recenzii
Feminist
and
Queer
Theory
is
a
vital
contribution
to
the
field
of
women's,
gender,
and
sexuality
studies.
The
authors
have
created
a
rigorous
reader
that
is
also
accessible
Feminist and Queer Theory moves past the assumptions of a U.S. lens, integrates queer bodies and queer frameworks for theorizing gender, and confronts the legacy of the two-gender binary and reorganizes that historical framework. This is an important intervention in feminist theory texts for the field that finally contemporizes feminist theory to integrate intersections between feminist and queer theory. I love the approach!
Feminist and Queer Theory is broad in scope, representative, inclusive, and conceptually well crafted. The authors' writing style is exceptionally strong, accessible, and articulate. The book has a very strong, multifaceted approach to teaching feminist theory in the twenty-first century classroom.
