Zusatztext The use of 'Dancing' in the title of this collection signals that it is above all a celebratory engagement with the work and the life of Iris Young. It also playfully points in the direction of arguably the most unusual and least familiar themes in Young's thinking explored in the book: the aesthetic dimension to be found not only in her work on embodiment (sketched out in the essays by Foster and Mann) but also in the implications of her account of structural inequality for understanding the role of aesthetic discomfort and disdain in anti-immigration sentiment (broached by Martínez).

Mechthild Nagel is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Gender and Intercultural Studies at the State University of New York, College at Cortland. Klappentext Iris Marion Young was a world-renowned feminist moral and political philosopher whose many books and articles spanned more than three decades. She explored issues of social justice and oppression theory, the phenomenology of women's bodies, deliberative democracy and questions of terrorism, violence, international law and the role of the national security state. Her works have been of great interest to those both in the analytic and Continental philosophical tradition, and her roots range from critical theory (Habermas and Marcuse), and phenomenology (Beauvoir and Merleau Ponty) to poststructural psychoanalytic feminism (Kristeva and Ingaray). This anthology of writings aims to carry on the fruitful lines of thought she created and contains works by both well-known and younger authors who explore and engage critically with aspects of her work. The essays include personal remembrances as well as a last interview with Young about her work. The essays are organized into topic areas that are of interest to students in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in ethics, feminist theory, and political philosophy. Zusammenfassung Dancing with Iris engages with Iris Marion Young's prolific writings in political theory and in phenomenology. Contributors discuss her work from a variety of disciplines, including philosophy, political science, human rights law, cultural geography and dance studies. _ _ _ _ Inhaltsverzeichnis I.
