Product Description
Product Description
In this anthology, prominent contemporary theorists assess the benefits and dangers of postmodernism for feminist theory. The contributors examine the meaning of postmodernism both as a methodological position and a diagnosis of the times. They consider such issues as the nature of personal and social identity today, the political implications of recent aesthetic trends, and the consequences of changing work and family relations on women's lives. Contributors: Seyla Benhabib, Susan Bordo, Judith Butler, Christine Di Stefano, Jane Flax, Nancy Fraser, Donna Haraway, Sandra Harding, Nancy Hartsock, Andreas Huyssen, Linda J. Nicholson, Elspeth Probyn, Anna Yeatman, Iris Young.

Many good essays
4 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
This book has a bunch of good essays from notable people. They provide a good sample of the ideas, particularly Judith Butler, Susan Bordo, and Donna Harraway. The Andreas Huyssen essay attempting to define postmodernism in terms of art was required reading in architecture school, but Mary McLeod's essay on the subject was better for its coverage of architecture.
Anyway, it is a useful book to have around.
