Description: Feminism, Culture and Embodied Practice : The Rhetorics of Comparison, Hardcover by Pedwell, Carolyn, ISBN 0415497906, ISBN-13 9780415497909, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Pedwell (media and cultural studies, U. of Newcastle upon Tyne, Britain) examines how cross-cultural comparisons of embodied practices that feminist scholars draw, function as a rhetorical device, with particular theoretical, social, and political effects. She asks why and how feminist theorists and commentators make these analogies; what the analogies do; what knowledges, hierarchies, and figurations they produce, disrupt, and/or reify in feminist and other critical theory; and how such effects resonate within media, culture, and politics. Her examples include African female genital cutting, Western body modifications, Muslim veiling, anorexia, and Western fashion and beauty practices. The study is revised from her 2003 PhD dissertation in gender studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
