New

本書は日本という非西洋のコンテクストにおける広範なフェミニズムへの幅広くアクセスしやすい入門書となるハンドブックです。本書は便利な比較の枠組みを用いて、世界中のフェミニズムのトランスナショナル及び国際的な視点を前進させることを目的としています。また、他国におけるフェミニズムと対応するディスコース、理論的位置、フェミニストの活動や介入の領域を定義しています。各章はラディカルなフェミニズム、母性主義、アナーキズム、文学、宗教、ポルノグラフィといったトピックを論じています。また、日本の女性解放運動であるウーマン・リブなどの特定の歴史的・社会文化的問題に関する見出しも収録しています。日本語や英語、その他の言語で書かれた学術文献をもとに、各章は特定のディスコースや運動の歴史的発展を簡潔にたどり、それらを地方の政治的・社会的コンテクストに位置付けるとともに、より広いアジアおよびグローバルなコンテクストにも言及しています。

本書をフェミニズム、日本におけるフェミニズム、日本社会などに関心を持つ研究者・研究室にお勧めいたします。
