Feminist Geopolitics - Material States

Zusatztext 'Deborah Dixon has written a deeply insightful geopolitics for the 21st century. In this intellectually adventurous book she breaks apart the narrow confines of classical and contemporary geopolitical theory to insert a central place for the unruly potential of bodies and Earth. Feminist Geopolitics: Material States is a transformative contribution to both geopolitical and feminist thought.' Sallie Marston! University of Arizona! USA Informationen zum Autor Deborah P. Dixon is Professor of Geography in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at Glasgow University, UK. Klappentext Deborah P. Dixon cautions against the exhaustion of feminist geopolitics as a critique of both a classical and a critical geopolitics, and points instead to how feminist imaginaries of Self, Other and Earth allow for all manner of work to be undertaken. While providing a much-needed, sustained interjection that draws out achievements to date, the book gestures forward to productive lines of inquiry and method. Grounded via a series of globally diverse case studies that traverse time as well as space, Feminist Geopolitics feels for the borders of geopolitical thought and practice by navigating four complex and corporeally-aware objects of analysis, namely flesh, bone, touch and abhorrence. Zusammenfassung Grounded with series of globally diverse case studies that traverse time as well as space, this book deals with the borders of geopolitical thought and practice by navigating four corporeally-aware objects of analysis, namely flesh, bone, touch and abhorrence.
