Description

This book, part of the Gender Perspectives in Law series, seeks to explore the link between theory and practice in contemporary feminisms. Editors of this book recognize that the focus on theoretical and ideological frameworks must be complemented by a reflection on the political and legal value of concrete practices. Therefore, the aim is to investigate this longstanding and successful interplay between theory and practices from different perspectives and methodological approaches, ranging from empirical legal and political studies to doctrinal contribution compound with national or thematic case studies, historical and comparative assessments, domestic as well as international perspectives, conceptual as well as practical considerations.
This book considers historical aspects of women’s political activism and practices, analyzing what aspects have been particularly relevant in the construction of women’s political action, as well as asking what part of the feminist movements of the past is relevant for contemporary political struggles. Additionally, this book explores contemporary legal manifestations of gender oppression and systems of privilege. The authors also examine emancipatory tendencies in modern law, politics, and culture. Contributions to this book are divided into three sections.
Section One - Historicity of Feminist Legal and Political Theories and Practices, provides theoretical and historical readings of feminist practices, including the origins of various feminist movements addressing women’s political and social agencies for change in the past and present.
Section Two - Feminist Approaches to Policies and Practices for Socio-Legal Changes, brings together the work of scholars who study matters related to the provision of rights and discrimination in areas such as the labor market, citizenship, and EU policies.
Section Three - Feminist Intersectionality: Practices of Care, Work, Bodies and Identities, concentrates on various conceptual and methodological issues within feminist theories and practices including bodies, identities, emotions, and practices of care.
The book is written for the international audiences - including feminist scholars and activists, agents of political change, legal and public policy practitioners, and for students and teachers around the globe.
