Breaking Feminist Waves

LINDA MART Í N ALCOFF, Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center ALISON STONE, Lancaster University GILLIAN HOWIE†, University of Liverpool For the last twenty years, feminist theory has been presented as a series of ascending waves. This picture has had the effect of constraining the way we understand and frame new work as well as deemphasizing the diversity of past scholarship. The aim of this series is to attract original scholars who will unearth neglected contributions to feminist theory and offer unique interpretations of past scholarship. By breaking free from the constraints of the image of waves, this series will be able to provide a wider forum for dialogue and engage historical and interdisciplinary work to open up feminist theory to new audiences and markets. LINDA MART Í N ALCOFF is Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and the City University of New York Graduate Center. Her books include Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self ; The Blackwell Guide to Feminist Philosophy (coedited with Eva Kittay); Identity Politics Reconsidered (coedited with Moya, Mohanty, and Hames-Garcia); and Singing in the Fire: Tales of Women in Philosophy. ALISON STONE is Professor of European Philosophy at Lancaster University, UK. She is the author of Petrified Intelligence: Nature in Hegel’s Philosophy; Luce Irigaray and the Philosophy of Sexual Difference; An Introduction to Feminist Philosophy; and Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and Maternal Subjectivity; and the editor of The Edinburgh Critical History of Nineteenth-Century Philosophy.
