No. 18 (2019): An interdisciplinary overview of gender studies and feminist theory

This monograph brings together articles that explore the philosophical debate between modernity and postmodernity from feminist perspectives, the various currents that have interpreted the sexual division of labour, and cultural representations of women in literature, film, and history. It also includes analyses of marginal voices, such as Spanish militiamen, women in the novels of Paula Hawkins, African feminisms, and single mothers in Irish laundries. The critical section delves into the figure of Judith Butler and the tensions between feminism, equality, difference, and postmodernity. The issue is completed by several reviews of literary works and contemporary essays related to gender, women’s writing, and cultural analysis.
