They range from explorations of politics post-9\/11 to critical reflections on the academic norms governing feminist studies and political theory. \u003ci\u003eEdgework\u003c\/i\u003e is also concerned with the intellectual and political value of critique itself. It renders contemporary the ancient jurisprudential meaning of critique as krisis, in which a tear in the fabric of justice becomes the occasion of a public sifting or thoughtfulness, the development of criteria for judgment, and the inauguration of political renewal or restoration. Each essay probes a contemporary problem--the charge of being unpatriotic for dissenting from U.S. foreign policy, the erosion of liberal democracy by neoliberal political rationality, feminism's loss of a revolutionary horizon--and seeks to grasp the intellectual impasse the problem signals as well as the political incitement it may harbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691123616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691123615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.22w x 0.52d","brand":"Wendy Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059476951295,"sku":"9780691123615","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f85c42c0-15df-42a0-9778-4c13c11a28d8.jpg?v=1685058461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edgework-wendy-brown-9780691123615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
