Full Description
This book works at the intersection of two related yet different fields. One is the heterogeneous feminist effort to question universal forms of knowing. The second field follows from this conundrum: how does one think of the body when s/he speaks of embodiment? 'Toward a Politics of the (Im)Possible' engages the forefront of contemporary thought on the body, while remaining mindful of the requirements of a feminist approach.
