Issues such as reproductive technologies, sexual violence, objectification, motherhood, and sex trafficking, among others, constitute ongoing, pressing concerns for women's bodies in our contemporary milieu, arguably exacerbated in a neoliberal world where bodies are instrumentalized as sites of human capital. This book engages with these themes by building on the strong tradition of feminist thought focused on women's bodies, and by making novel contributions that reflect feminists' concerns-both theoretically and empirically-about gender and embodiment in the present context and beyond. The collection brings together essays from a variety of feminist scholars who deploy diverse theoretical approaches, including phenomenology, pragmatism, and new materialisms, in order to examine philosophically the question of the current status of gendered bodies through cutting-edge feminist theory. 410 0$aBreaking Feminist Waves,$x2945-7009 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSex 606 $aCritical theory 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aCritical Theory 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aCritical theory. 615 14$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aCritical Theory. 676 $a261.8341 702 $aFischer$b Clara$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDolezal$b Luna$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300619503321 996 $aNew Feminist Perspectives on Embodiment$92093271 997 $aUNINA
