The aesthetics of feminist thinking: Methods, forms, desire

This introduction to a special issue on the Aesthetics of Feminist Thinking considers the aesthetic dimensions of feminist theory - its style, its forms, and its formal possibilities across writing, visual culture, performance, and other mediums. It traces how feminist thinking has endured, disappeared, and reappeared, how it takes on new forms across generations and geographies, and how it might redistribute itself in surprising aesthetic maneuvers that confound wellworn paths of feminist theory.

Abstract

This introduction to a special issue on the Aesthetics of Feminist Thinking considers the aesthetic dimensions of feminist theory - its style, its forms, and its formal possibilities across writing, visual culture, performance, and other mediums. It traces how feminist thinking has endured, disappeared, and reappeared, how it takes on new forms across generations and geographies, and how it might redistribute itself in surprising aesthetic maneuvers that confound wellworn paths of feminist theory.
