Poststructuralist (feminist) theory sees the subject as a purely linguistic category, as always already multiple, as always already nonfixed and fluctuating, as limitless discursivity, and as constitutively detached from the instance of the real. This reconceptualization is based on the exclusion of and dichotomous opposition to notions of the real, the one (unity and continuity), and the stable. The non-philosophical reading of postructuralist philosophy engenders new forms of universalisms for global debate and action, expressed in a language the world can understand. It also liberates theory from ideological paralysis, recasting the real as an immediately experienced human condition determined by gender, race, and social and economic circumstance.Country/Region of Manufacture: USBook Series: Insurrections: Critical Studies in Religion, Politics, and CultureGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
