In this original account of conceptual activism, Davina Cooper asks how new conceptual meanings are made, used, held, and experienced. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, she analyzes the high-profile contemporary conflict in Britain over sex and gender. Here policymakers, regulatory bodies, community organizations, and academics fight to draw and redraw categories and their boundaries in a struggle that has spread across the census, speculative law reform, equality governance, and more. To understand the techniques and challenges that the advancement of new and controversial meanings faces, \u003ci\u003eConceptual Activism\u003c\/i\u003e offers an innovative account of concepts and how meaning is reorganized in conditions of resistance, attentive to concepts' materiality, plasticity, force, and unexpected encounters. As sex and gender meet economy, property, play, and activism, Cooper demonstrates how and why academic work should engage in conceptual activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davina Cooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478039280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478039280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Davina Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001116074239,"sku":"9781478039280","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conceptual-activism-davina-cooper-9781478039280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
