Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Feminism, Foucault, and Embodied Subjectivity remains invaluable for its rendering of a thoroughgoing account of feminist theorists' interaction with Foucault through the late 1990s." -- Foucault Studies

"Engaging, clearly written, and well-argued, this book provides comprehensive and insightful overviews of much of the critical literature on Foucault. The author offers a sympathetic but not dogmatic reading of Foucault, giving careful reconstructions of some of his most important texts/arguments, and extends his ideas in interesting ways." -- Amy Allen, author of The Power of Feminist Theory: Domination, Resistance, Solidarity

"This is one of the strongest and best-informed defenses of Foucault's continued usefulness to recent feminist debates. McLaren knows the territory well and addresses squarely the difficult issues. An impressive achievement." -- Thomas R. Flynn, author of Sartre, Foucault and Historical Reason, vol. 1, Toward an Existentialist Theory of History

Reseña del editor

Argues that Foucault's work employs a conception of subjectivity that is well-suited for feminist theory and politics.
