Shapeshifting Subjects: Gloria Anzaldua's Naguala and Border Arte: Transformations: Womanist studies

Autor Kelli D. Zaytoun
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2022
"Scholars have long cited Gloria Anzaldâua to make or support claims about selfhood. But many people overlook her emphasis on la naguala and her cutting-edge contribution to subjectivity. Kelli D. Zaytoun draws on Anzaldâua's thought to present a radically inclusive and expansive approach to selfhood, creativity, scholarship, healing, coalition-building, and activism. Zaytoun focuses on Anzaldâua's la naguala/the shapeshifter, a term borrowed from nagualismo. This groundbreaking theory of subjectivity details a dynamic relationship between "inner work" and "public acts" that strengthens the role of individuals in social and transformative justice work. Zaytoun's detailed emphasis on la naguala, and Nahua metaphysics specifically, brings much needed attention to Anzaldâua's long-overlooked contribution to the study of subjectivity. The result is a women and queer of color/feminist-focused work aimed at scholars in many disciplines and intended to overcome barriers separating the academy from everyday life and community"--

Recenzii

"A significant text in the scholarship of Gloria Anzaldúa and in Latina/x feminisms in general. Zaytoun's in-depth analysis of la naguala, a key concept in Anzaldúa's work that has been barely theorized, will move Anzaldúa scholarship in new directions."--Mariana Ortega, author of In-Between: Latina Feminist Phenomenology, Multiplicity, and the Self
"Shapeshifting Subjects takes us to the radical edge of many untheorized aspects of Gloria Anzaldúa’s theoretical toolbox including shapeshifting, naguala, and intra-relationality. Zaytoun revives the possibilities of shapeshifting for radical feminist work long preoccupied with difference and coalition building, and decolonial methods for healing colonial wounds. Shapeshifing transports ontological becoming with a dazzling array of more-than-human forms of consciousness. Brimming with nuanced critical insights and poignant reflection, you will be moved after reading this book."--Felicity Amaya Schaeffer, author of Love and Empire: Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas
