Catharine A. MacKinnon

    7 oktober 1946

    Catharine A. MacKinnon is een baanbrekende rechtsgeleerde wiens werk zich richt op kwesties van gendergelijkheid. Haar innovatieve benaderingen van juridische claims met betrekking tot seksuele intimidatie en pornografie als schending van burgerrechten, evenals haar werk aan abolitionistische modellen van prostitutie, hebben het internationaal recht significant beïnvloed. Haar analyses van gelijkheid, pornografie en haatzaaien zijn breed overgenomen, en haar werk op het gebied van internationaal recht, waaronder de vertegenwoordiging van overlevenden van genocidale seksuele misdaden, heeft geleid tot baanbrekende juridische overwinningen. MacKinnons geschriften bieden diepgaande inzichten in juridische mechanismen en hun impact op gelijkheid en mensenrechten.

      First published in 1998, this collection brings together key articles by prominent feminist thinkers, providing a sophisticated exploration of theoretical topics central to feminist social thought. It highlights significant concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advancements made by feminist philosophers. The editor's introduction offers alternative pathways through the text, enabling instructors to tailor the reader to their specific courses and student interests. Each article includes a brief introduction that contextualizes it, emphasizing the main issues and conclusions, which aids students in navigating challenging theoretical concepts. Organized around seven topics—constructions of gender; theorizing diversity; figurations of women; subjectivity, agency, and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity, and political engagement; care and its critics; and women, equality, and justice—this collection represents a broad spectrum of feminist thinking. Students will engage with critical questions, including how gender norms are instilled and perpetuated, the relationships between gender and other social positions like race and class, the resources available for recognizing and resisting subordination, the goals of feminist politics, and the reconciliation of social and legal equality with difference.
