商品簡介
This collection presents new and sophisticated ways of examining traditional political dichotomies, especially those surrounding the issues of identity and difference. The contributors, an international cohort, address the process and theories behind reconceptualizing challenges in entrenched political divides, covering such complex issues as mind/body dualism, theoretical tension between nature and constructionism, "strategic intersectionality" in Canadian Quebecois culture, the theoretical and practical relationship between militarism and patriarchalism in political philosophy and education, third-wave feminism and its cultural engagement with political activism, and the self in catastrophic illness. The responding set of essays address putting identity back into politics, covering authenticity, locating traitorous identities of privilege, feminist intentions, a new notion of empowerment, a critical reading of law in terms of identity, pluralism without theories of gender, and a critical appraisal of Arendt and Foucault in terms of feminist politics.
