Body Matters

350 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

WSQ: Body Matters considers the ways in which the physical body (re)defines feminist scholarship, art, and activism in light of environmental, political, and global emergencies and transformations taking hold at the present moment.  Within the current paradigm of colonial exploitation, our bodies are sites of scrutiny, violence, commodification, racialization, policing, displacement, and strategic dehumanization. This moment demands renewed feminist critique of body politics and personhood. This special issue explores bodies marked by intersectional identities as sites of social and political violence but also as the vehicle for resistance, triumph, and decolonial justice.
