Informationen zum Autor Vikki Bell lectures in Sociology at Goldsmiths College! university of London. Klappentext Reading feminist theory as a complex imaginative achievement! Feminist Imagination considers feminist commitment through the interrogation of its philosophical! political and affective connections with the past! and especially with the `race' trials of the twentieth century. The book looks at: the 'directionlessness' of contemporary feminist thought; the question of essentialism and embodiment; the racial tensions in the work of Simone de Beauvoir; the totalitarian character in Hannah Arendt; the 'mimetic Jew' and the concept of mimesis in the work of Judith Butler. Vikki Bell provides a compelling rethinking of feminist theory as bound up with attempts to understand oppression outside a focus on 'women'. She affirms feminism as a site and mode of making these connections. Zusammenfassung This book extends the argument beyond its usual boundaries and confronts the spectres within feminist thought.
