In lively and timely essays, an international group of feminist thinkers challenges the assumptions and norms that have previously defined studies about the body. These wide-ranging essays grapple with topics such as the material reality of race, the significance of sexual difference, the impact of disability experience, and the complex interaction between nature and culture in traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina. By insisting on the importance of materiality, this volume breaks new ground in philosophy, feminist theory, cultural studies, science studies, and other fields where the body and nature collide. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aHuman body 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aHuman body. 676 $a305.4201 701 $aAlaimo$b Stacy$f1962-$01593003 701 $aHekman$b Susan J$0615048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818079703321 996 $aMaterial feminisms$93912916 997 $aUNINA
