O knihe

"This brilliant book engages Cavarero's work to reimagine an ethics of nonviolence. Challenging the masculine individualism common to canonical thought and contemporary politics, the authors envision new forms of sociality rooted in bodily interdependence. Reading this book is like participating in an electrifying seminar with some of the most incisive feminist thinkers of our time."-Elisabeth Anker, George Washington University

"This indispensable volume engages with the brilliantly provocative work of the Italian feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero. Imaginatively organized and well-introduced by the editors, the book illuminates, supplements, and generatively questions several of Cavaro's key concepts, among them the political idea of germinal democracy marked by an ethics of nonviolence."-Margaret Ferguson, University of California, Davis

Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together three major feminist thinkers to discuss Cavarero's call for a postural ethics of nonviolence. The book consists of three longer essays by Cavarero, Butler, and Honig, followed by shorter responses by a range of scholars that widen the dialogue, drawing on post-Marxism, Italian feminism, and queer theory. Together, the authors contest the boundaries of their common project for a pluralistic, heterogeneous, but urgent feminist ethics of nonviolence.
