Man Question: Visions of Subjectivity in Feminist Theory

by Ferguson, Kathy E
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780520079915 University of California Press

Turning on its head that familiar "woman question," this innovative work poses masculinity as a problem that requires explanation. Ferguson rebukes the sense of coherence contained in patriarchal theory in the name of a voice that both calls upon and challenges the category woman. Stepping back from the opposition of male and female, she artfully loosens the hold of gender on life and meaning, creating and at the same time deconstructing a women's point of view. Posing the "man question" provides a way not only to view male power and female subordination but also to valorize and problematize women's experiences, thus destabilizing conventional notions of man and woman.

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.
