Differences That Matter: Feminist Theory And Postmodernism

Descripción

LIBRERÍA LEA+


Differences That Matter challenges theories of the relationship between feminism and postmodernism that ask "is/should feminism be modern or postmodern?" Pointing out how postmodernism has been allowed to dictate feminist debates, Sara Ahmed argues instead that feminism must itself ask questions of postmodernism; that feminist theorists speak (back) to postmodernism rather than simply speak on (their relationship to) it. This "speaking back" involves a refusal to position postmodernism as a generalizable condition of the world, using close readings of postmodern constructions of rights, ethics, "woman," subjectivity, authorship and film. Moreover, the differences that matter are shown to concern, not only the differences between feminism and postmodernism, but also the differencer which define the tems themselves. How to do justice to these differences while "speaking back" is a question central to the ethics of close reading offered in this book.
