Ist es möglich, eine andere, wirklich radikale Perspektive zu entwickeln, die den Weg des Kampfes für die Emanzipation der Frauen und der gesamten Menschheit geht? Eine zündende Schrift zu dieser Frage kommt aus Argentinien. Anhand der Schicksale und Kämpfe konkreter Frauen zeichnet die marxistische Feministin Andrea D?Atri die Geschichte der Frauen- und Arbeiter*innenbewegung von der Französischen Revolution bis zur Queer Theory nach. Sie zeigt, welche Pfade zur Befreiung der Frau von Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung bereits beschritten wurden und in welchen Sackgassen sie endeten. Gestützt auf diese Erfahrungen hält sie ein flammendes Plädoyer dafür, das Gesamtgefüge aus Patriarchat und Kapitalismus aus den Angeln zu heben. Da die globale Arbeiter*innenƯklasse heute so weiblich ist wie nie zuvor, kommt den Frauen bei dieser Revolution eine zentrale Rolle zu.00Translated from Spanish: "Pan y Rosas: pertenencia de género y antagonismo de clase en el capitalismo" (Armas de la Crítica, 2004) ISBN 9789872140809.

Winner of the the 2021 Best Edited Collection Award from BAFTSS Winner of the 2021 British Fantasy Award in Best Non-Fiction​ ​Finalist for the 2020 Bram Stoker Award® for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction Runner-Up for Book of the Year in the 19th Annual Rondo Halton Classic Horror Awards​ “But women were never out there making horror films, that’s why they are not written about – you can’t include what doesn’t exist.” “Women are just not that interested in making horror films.” This is what you get when you are a woman working in horror, whether as a writer, academic, festival programmer, or filmmaker. These assumptions are based on decades of flawed scholarly, critical, and industrial thinking about the genre. Women Make Horror sets right these misconceptions. Women have always made horror. They have always been an audience for the genre, and today, as this book reveals, women academics, critics, and filmmakers alike remain committed to a film genre that offers almost unlimited opportunities for exploring and deconstructing social and cultural constructions of gender, femininity, sexuality, and the body. Women Make Horror explores narrative and experimental cinema; short, anthology, and feature filmmaking; and offers case studies of North American, Latin American, European, East Asian, and Australian filmmakers, films, and festivals. With this book we can transform how we think about women filmmakers and genre.

In contemporary feminist theory, the problem of feminine subjectivity persistently appears and reappears as the site that grounds all discussion of feminism. In Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom, Linda M. G. Zerilli argues that the persistence of this subject-centered frame severely limits feminists' capacity to think imaginatively about the central problem of feminist theory and a politics concerned with freedom.Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, Zerilli here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting "women" as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment. She revisits the democratic problem of exclusion from participation in common affairs and elaborates a freedom-centered feminism as the political practice of beginning anew, world-building, and judging. In a series of case studies, Zerilli draws on the political thought of Hannah Arendt to articulate a nonsovereign conception of political freedom and to explore a variety of feminist understandings of freedom in the twentieth century, including ones proposed by Judith Butler, Monique Wittig, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective. In so doing, Zerilli hopes to retrieve what Arendt called feminism's lost the original and radical claim to political freedom.
