| Sommario/riassunto: | Drawing on feminist and Foucauldian theory, Quinby offers a powerful critique of the millenarian rhetoric that pervades American culture. Tracing the deployment of power through systems of alliance, sexuality, and technology, the author promotes a variety of critical stances-genealogical feminism, an ethics of the flesh, and "pissed criticism"-as challenges to apocalyptic claims for absolute truth and universal morality. |
