Bøger i The Feminist Imagination - Europe and Beyond serien

This book explores the genre of metacommentaries as critical responses to the development of intersectionality as a paradigm, contending that far from re-connecting intersectionality with its roots and enabling it to realise its potential, such critiques bind the scholarly discourse to an either/or argumentative dynamic.

By concentrating on the shared ground of postcolonial, masculine subjectivities, Postcolonial Masculinities looks beyond the dissonance often iterated between the apparently rational Western man and the apparently oppressive, patriarchal Middle Eastern man.

Examining the meaning and implications of the different ways in which various shared categories have been treated on both sides of the Atlantic, this title both analyses differences within feminism and provides a framework for the wider discussion of what is sometimes assumed to be the homogeneity of The West.

Gender equality is a widely shared value in many western societies and yet, the mention of the term feminism frequently provokes unease, bewilderment or overt hostility. This book sheds light on why this is the case. It explores how young German and British women think, talk and feel about feminism.

The concept of 'intersectionality' has attracted much attention in international feminist debates over the last decade. This title brings together proponents and critics of the concept, to discuss the advances with those that have been influential in the debates that surround it.

Drawing on a variety of research methodologies and sources, including oral history, archival research and literary analysis, as well as new sources rarely subjected before to such intersectional analysis, Gendered Wars, Gendered Memories offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the different ways in which gendered memories of war shape contemporary societies. Theoretically and methodologically innovative, this book will appeal to scholars working at the intersection of memory, military and gender studies, seeking to chart this emerging territory with ¿feminist curiosity¿.
