Description: Differences That Matter: Feminist Theory and Postmodernism by Sara Ahmed Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Differences That Matter challenges theories of the relationship between feminism and postmodernism that ask "is/should feminism be modern or postmodern?" Pointing out how postmodernism has been allowed to dictate feminist debates, Sara Ahmed argues instead that feminism must itself ask questions of postmodernism; that feminist theorists speak (back) to postmodernism rather than simply speak on (their relationship to) it. This "speaking back" involves a refusal to position postmodernism as a generalizable condition of the world, using close readings of postmodern constructions of rights, ethics, "woman," subjectivity, authorship and film. Publisher Description Differences That Matter challenges existing ways of theorising the relationship between feminism and postmodernism which ask is or should feminism be modern or postmodern? Sara Ahmed suggests that postmodernism has been allowed to dictate feminist debates and calls instead for feminist theorists to speak (back) to postmodernism, rather than simply speak on (their relationship to) it. Such a speaking back involves a refusal to position postmodernism as a generalisable condition of the world and requires closer readings of what postmodernism is actually doing in a variety of disciplinary contexts. Sara Ahmed hence examines constructions of postmodernism in relation to rights, ethics, subjectivity, authorship, meta-fiction and film.
