Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact, \u003ci\u003eBodies of Water \u003c\/i\u003edevelops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Building on the works by Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“For the last couple of decades, feminist theory has been immersed in a new materialist wave that has produced among the most innovative and capacious ways to think and to respond critically--ontologically, ethically, and politically--within the depths of the ongoing ecological crises. If hardly any field of philosophy, cultural studies, or science studies has been as well-equipped to think the posthuman turn as feminist approaches have, Astrida Neimanis's \u003ci\u003eBodies of Water\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly synthesizes, illustrates, and continues this feminist ebullition.” – \u003ci\u003eHypatia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781474275385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40597350219982,"sku":"9781474275385","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_f030318e-9203-4b82-9f7d-cfe690885bb9.jpg?v=1637877780","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781474275385","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
