Third Wave Feminism A Critical Exploration [Hardcover]

This revised and expanded edition, new in paperback, provides a definitive collection on the current period in feminism known by many as the 'third wave'. Three sections - genealogies and generations, locales and locations, politics and popular culture - interrogate the wave metaphor and, through questioning the generational account of feminism, indicate possible future trajectories for the feminist movement. New to this edition are an interview with Luce Irigaray, a foreword by Imelda Whelehan as well as newly commissioned chapters.Foreword; I.Whelehan Acknowledgements Notes on Contributors Introduction; S.Gillis, G.Howie & R.Munford PART I: GENERATIONS AND GENEALOGIES 'Feminists Love a Utopia': Collaboration, Conflict and the Futures of Feminism; L.S.Sanders On the Genealogy of Women: A Defence of Anti-Essentialism; A.Stone Kristeva and the Trans-missions of the Intertext: Signs, Mothers and Speaking in Tongues; M.Orr Feminist Dissonance: The Logic of Late Feminism; G.Howie & A.Tauchert Transgender Feminism: Queering the Woman Question; S.Stryker Theorizing the Intermezzo: The Contributions of Postfeminism and Third Wave Feminism; A.D.Lotz 'You're not One of Those Boring Masculinists, Are You?': The Question of Male-Embodied Feminist Criticism; A.
