Feminist Making, Doing, and Sensing: Experiments in Philosophy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781478033875)

Placing pressure on what it means to "do" feminist philosophy, Feminist Making, Doing, and Sensing offers an innovative and critical rethinking of feminist philosophical practice and feminist philosophy as a disciplinary field of thought. The collection raises questions about how disciplines are made, how philosophy gets done, and the collaborative nature of thinking. Seeking to decenter disciplinary norms about content, authority, and belonging, this collection disrupts the status quo of feminist philosophy through its insistence on formal experimentation and creative methods as well as its refusal to take philosophy and its disciplinary attachments at face value. The essays argue for ways of thinking, making, and doing philosophy that are participatory, relational, somatic, affective, sonorous, and sensorial, often looking to experimental and art-based practices such as film, music, poetry, comedy, crocheting, and more. Meant to encourage a collaborative dialogue with readers, several essays conclude with prompts, exercises, and activities, inviting readers to participate in creative philosophical making alongside their own practices.
