Feminist Time Against Nation Time - Gender, Politics, and the Nation-state in an Age of Permanent War

Informationen zum Autor Victoria Hesford and Lisa Diedrich are assistant professors of women's studies at Stony Brook University, New York. Klappentext Feminist Time Against Nation Time offers a series of essays that explore the complex and oftentimes contradictory relationship between feminism and nationalism through a problematization of contemporality. The collection pursues the following questions: how do the specific temporalities of nationalism and war limit and delimit public spaces in which dissent might happen; and how might we account for the often contradictory and ambiguous relationship of 'feminism' and 'nationalism' through an exploration of the problem of time?
