Talking Bodies IV: Rage and Care Against the Machine

Editat de Elisabeth Lechner, Holly F. Royle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2026
Talking Bodies IV: Rage and Care Against the Machine is a bold intervention against global antifeminism. In their contributions, scholars, artists and activists from around the world - with their specific embodied perspectives - expose systems of oppression they come up against with despair, fear, exhaustion and rage. Instead of fixing what's trying to break them, they call out violent norms in order to make them assailable and ultimately overcome them.

Emerging from a global community that first came together at Talking Bodies, an international, interdisciplinary project with a biennial conference, this new volume continues the ethos of this community, striving to improve equality and equity for different bodies, by exploring how we move through and negotiate with the world around us.

Recenzii

A compelling exploration of how systems of oppression inscribe themselves upon marginalised bodies. This collection masterfully traces the intersections of contemporary and historical social change across international contexts, offering vital insights into embodied experiences of structural inequality.
Talking Bodies IV is a rich and needed collection that brings together an impressive, interdisciplinary, and international group of contributors. They join in their feminist concern to demonstrate how gender-diverse, reproductive, racialized, and disabled bodies negotiate constraint, carve out agency, and generate new modes of resistance in an increasingly hostile political climate shaped by Trumpism. Exposing systems of oppression while offering imaginative, solidarity-based practices of care and resilience, the volume stands as a testament to the power of collective feminist inquiry and an indispensable contribution to contemporary body studies.
The human body is many things, it is not a simple binary. It is a space of challenge, exploration, growth and opportunity. This book takes the reader on an important journey of discovery, exploration and affirmation.
