Queering the Second Wave: Anglophone and Francophone Contexts: Paragraph Special Issues

Editat de Lisa Downing, Lara Cox
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2018
Explores a series of unsung - and sometimes counterintuitive - resonances between second-wave feminism and queer theory in both Anglophone and Francophone contexts Queering the Second Wave will consider the works and ideas of feminists including Monique Wittig, Shulamith Firestone, Andrea Dworkin, Marilyn Frye, Donna Haraway, Gloria Anzald a, and Cherr e Moraga as precursors of queer theoretical writings by names such as Judith Butler, Jos Esteban Mu oz, Lee Edelman, Paola Bacchetta, and Judith Jack Halberstam. While acknowledging some of the problems and blindspots of second-wave politics and writing, we nevertheless seek to challenge the assumption that second-wave feminism is politically outdated or invalid. Instead, we imagine cross-generational and cross-discursive dialogues, and trace a genealogy of influence between the second-wave past and the queer present, while also speculating, in some cases, on previously unimagined queer-feminist futures.
