Although theorists in the 1980s raised the problem of feminist subjectivity, Kathi Weeks contends that the limited nature of that discussion now blocks the further development of feminist theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While the problems of an already constituted essentialist subject have become patent, what remains as an ongoing project, Weeks contends, is a theory of the constitution of subjects capable of explaining the processes of social construction. This book presents one such account. Drawing on a number of different theoretical frameworks, including feminist standpoint theory, socialist feminism, and poststructuralist thought, as well as theories of peformativity and self-valorization, the author proposes a nonessential feminist subject--a theory of constituting subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathi Weeks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786636034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786636034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Kathi Weeks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459621105919,"sku":"9781786636034","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1146d12f-07cd-45b4-86da-4916936a39e9.jpg?v=1777410844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constituting-feminist-subjects-kathi-weeks-9781786636034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
