The Subject of Rosi Braidotti Politics and Concepts [Hardcover]

The Subject of Rosi Braidotti: Politics and Conceptsbrings into focus the diverse influence of the work of Rosi Braidotti on academic fields in the humanities and the social sciences such as the study and scholarship in - among others - feminist theory, political theory, continental philosophy, philosophy of science and technology, cultural studies, ethnicity and race studies.

Inspired by Braidotti's philosophy of nomadic relations of embodied thought, the volume is a mapping exercise of productive engagements and instructive interactions by a variety of international, outstanding and world-renowned scholars with texts and concepts developed by Braidotti throughout her immense body of work.

In Braidotti's work, traversing themes of engagements emerge of politics and philosophy across generations and continents. Therefore, the edited volume invites prominent scholars at different stages of their careers and from around the world to engage with Braidotti's work in terms of concepts and/or political practice.

For those of us who have followed Rosi's nomadic pathway from analytic philosophy through currents of feminism to post-humanism, this book reminds us not just of her passionate engagement with ideas but also of the impact of her personality. The sheer breadth of her scholarship and her sympathies is mediated by her ability to inform and inspire. The essays here range over her interests and draw us in yet again to the debates close to her heart. Professor Christina Slade, Vice-Chancellor, Bath Spa University, UK
