In spite of this, feminist thinkers in both the continental and Anglo-American traditions have largely ignored his work, perhaps because his approach to the question of gender is unsystematic, fluid, and difficult. This volume attempts to situate the central concerns of contemporary feminist theory-aesthetics, embodiment, performance, sexual difference, ethics, testimony-within Lyotard's writings, to show that these concerns have always been there. Contributors discuss film theory, body modification, feminist critiques of science, postholocaust art, the feminine sublime, and theater. As a whole, the book serves as a robust meditation on the nature of \"the political\" as understood by Lyotard, and demonstrates the many different ways in which feminist concerns are taken up in discussions regarding the nature of the political in contemporary continental thought. An afterword by James Williams-one of the world's leading Lyotard commentators-is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margret Grebowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791469565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791469569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.06w x 0.64d","brand":"Margret Grebowicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438009659647,"sku":"9780791469569","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1db51f02-c8c4-4098-9af3-73583060ec79.jpg?v=1777168184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-after-lyotard-margret-grebowicz-9780791469569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
