Throwing Like a Girl and Other Essays in Feminist Philosophy

by Young, Iris Marion
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780253205971 Indiana University Press

Feminist social theory and female body experience are the twin themes of Iris Marion Young's twelve outstanding essays written over the past decade and brought together here. Her contributions to social theory raise critical questions about women and citizenship, the relations of capitalism and women's oppression, and the differences between a feminist theory that emphasizes women's difference and one that assumes a gender-neutral humanity.

Loosely following a phenomenological method of description, Young's essays on female embodiment discuss female movement, pregnancy, clothing, and the breasted body. In an introduction that situates her work in the context of shifts in feminist theory and politics over the past decade, Young emphasizes the rootedness of her theorizing in a dedicated and seasoned political activism.

Off-Centre: Feminism and Cultural Studies
This anthology of new work is the first since Women Take Issue to bring together feminist theory and cultural studies. Continuing the tradition of collective scholarship from the internationally recognised Birmingham school, Off-Centre is a major contribution to recent debates in these areas. The book covers issues of long standing concern, as well as those of new significance - pop culture and the media, science and technology, Thatcherism and the Enterprise Culture. A distinctive interdisciplinary approach holds together the range of topics, and is supplemented by editors' introductions surveying recent developments in feminism and cultural studies. The volume critically addresses the relationship between feminism and cultural studies, arguing for the value of combining these approaches in the analysis of contemporary culture.
