Full Description
Intersections of Feminist Technoscience and Phenomenology: Subjectivity, Embodiment, Agency brings together feminist phenomenology and feminist technoscience studies with the aim of gaining a more comprehensive understanding of subjectivity and subjectivities, as embodied and situated in the world.
The book demonstrates how combining insights from both of these traditions can deepen feminist analyses of pressing contemporary issues, from climate change to medical technologies, while contributing to broader discussions in feminist theory, epistemology, and subjectivity studies. The volume is organized into three interconnected parts examining situated subjectivity and knowledge production, embodiment and normative body formation, and the relationship between affectivity and agency.
Intersections of Feminist Technoscience and Phenomenology is an essential resource for both undergraduates and postgraduates studying Gender Studies, Philosophy, Science and Technology Studies, Environmental and Medical Humanities, and Bioethics.
