Reconsidering Radical Feminism: Affect and the Politics of Heterosexuality By Jessica Joy Cameron
2018 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0774837284 | PDF | 1 MB
What's the right way to be a feminist? Reconsidering Radical Feminism is not only a clear, precise summary of late-twentieth-century feminist debates about the politics of heterosexuality. It's also an examination of how we become invested in arguments that position us as particular kinds of feminists - and as gendered subjects. Through the lens of poststructuralism, queer theory, and affect theory, Jessica Joy Cameron investigates the legacy of the passionate dispute between radical feminism and sex-positive feminism. In doing so, she reveals the timeliness of her subject as contemporary policies about sexual assault, consent, and safe spaces come under scrutiny.
