Synopsis "Revaluing French Feminism: Critical Essays on Difference, Agency, and Culture (Hypatia Book) "

... Fraser and Bartky have brought the encounter between U.S. and French feminism to a new level of seriousness."―EthicsIn the last decade, elements of French feminist discourse have permeated and transformed the larger feminist culture in the United States. This volume is the first sustained attempt to revalue French feminism and answer the question: What has been gained and what has been lost as a result of this intercultural encounter?Interviews with Simone de Beauvoir open the book; essays by French feminists Sarah Kofman and Luce Irigaray follow; the North American contributors are Judith Butler, Nancy Fraser, Diana J. Fuss, Nancy J. Holland, Eleanor H. Kuykendall, Dorothy Leland, Diana T. Meyers, Andrea Nye, and Margaret A. Simons.

She is one of the most prominent exponents of feminism and current critical theory. Educated amidst the struggles for civil rights and against the Vietnam War, she approaches philosophy and politics in an unorthodox way, disciplines she teaches at the New School for Social Research in New York. From this perspective, she integrates into her research a rereading of a vast library –ranging from Gramsci to the first generation of the Frankfurt School, deconstruction, Bourdieu, and Foucault– to propose critiques of inequality and exploitation that do not become functional to prevailing neoliberalism, but rather are rooted in a block of struggle for genuine economic and social justice. A lecturer and Honorary Doctor at major centers in Europe and America, she is the author of influential books such as Feminism for the 99%, Interrupted Iustitia, and Scales of Justice. Her current courses explore texts by Karl Marx (Gründisse) or Walter Benjamin, in addition to the relationship between capitalism, nature, and critique.
