5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent appropriation of Foucault to feminism, January 24, 1998
By 
Caroline Todd (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Disciplining Foucault: Feminism, Power, and the Body (Thinking Gender) (Paperback)
Jana Sawicki identifies the issues that have been most contentious in feminist efforts to appropriate Foucault's concepts on subjectivities, powers, and the social constructions of Western bodies to an activist form of feminism and feminist research. She is able to reconcile many issues, such as those some feminists have had with Foucault's conceptions of power and subjectivity, and Foucault's clear androcentrism into a feminist theory that moves beyond these arguments and appropriates what is beneficial in Foucault to a feminism I find rewarding.
