Summary:
Water is the element that, more than any other, ties human beings in to the world around them – from the oceans that surround us to the water that makes up most of our bodies. Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact, this book develops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it.

Summary:
À mi-chemin du pamphlet et du texte théorique, cet ouvrage pourfend les dévoiements dont le féminisme a fait l'objet. Comment le féminisme, jadis pratique utopique et révolutionnaire, a-t-il pu devenir un discours hégémonique parfaitement adapté aux exigences du marché ? Comment ses ennemis d'hier ont-ils pu se l'approprier ? Car aujourd'hui, le féminisme est partout, prétexte à vendre tout et n'importe quoi, des vibromasseurs aux chaussures de luxe en passant bien entendu par soi-même. L'auteure analyse de façon claire, vivante et concise les principaux points d'application d'un féminisme cheval de Troie du néolibéralisme : la consommation, la guerre, le rapport à soi et le marché du travail. Elle souligne qu'en dépit de leur diversité voire de leurs incohérences, les usages actuels du mot " féminisme " participent d'un processus global de marchandisation : les femmes doivent apprendre à " valoriser leurs atouts ", considérer leur corps comme un ensemble de pièces détachées, devenir des mères idéales sans oublier d'aller se vendre sur le marché du travail ni de maîtriser à la perfection l'art de la sexualité. Après la femme-objet, voici la femme-marchandise ! Dans notre époque prétendument post-féministe, les femmes se trouvent donc enfermées, sous couvert d'émancipation, dans une nouvelle forme d'essentialisation et de servitude. En s'appuyant sur des exemples tirés du cinéma, de la philosophie, de l'actualité, de la pornographie et des luttes féministes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, ce livre montre que l'unidimensionnalité n'est pas une fatalité pour les femmes, et que le combat féministe se trouve non pas derrière nous, mais devant nous.

Summary:
This book offers intersectional, intergenerational, and international perspectives on nonfiction film- and videomaking by and about women, examining practices that range from activist documentaries to avant-garde experiments. Concentrating primarily on the period between the 1970s and 1990s, the contributions revisit major figures, contexts, and debates across a polycentric, global geography. They explore how the moving image has been a crucial terrain of feminist struggle—a way of not only picturing the world but remaking it. The contributors consider key decolonial filmmakers, including Trinh T. Minh-ha and Sarah Maldoror; explore collectively produced films with ties to women's liberation movements in different countries; and investigate the cinematic expressions of tensions and alliances between feminism and anti-imperialist struggles. They grapple with the need for a broader more inclusive definition of the term ''feminism''; meditate on the figure of the grandmother; reflect on realist aesthetics; and ask what a feminist film historiography might look like.

Summary:
Parmi les livres les plus appréciés de bell hooks, « À propos d’amour » est un texte singulier. Avec sa perspicacité habituelle et ses talents de vulgarisatrice, l’autrice afroféministe s’y attaque à une thématique rarement abordée de front en théorie politique. Définissant l’amour comme un acte et non comme un sentiment, bell hooks démonte tous les obstacles que la culture patriarcale oppose à des relations d’amour saines, et envisage un art d’aimer qui ne se résume pas au frisson de l’attraction ou à la simple tendresse. Recourant à la philosophie morale comme à la psychologie, elle s’en prend au cynisme narquois qui entoure les discussions au sujet de l’amour, et s’attache à redonner toute sa noblesse à la possibilité de l’amour, dans une perspective féministe.

Summary:
Correcting an absence of writing about contemporary feminist work by Canadian artists, ''Desire Change'' considers the resurgence of feminist art, thought, and practice in the past decade by examining artworks that respond to themes of diversity and desire. Contributors address the desire for change through three central frames: how feminist art has significantly contributed to the complex understanding of gender as it intersects with sexuality and race; the necessary critique of patriarchy and institutions as they relate to colonization within the Canadian nation-state; and the ways in which contemporary critiques are formed and expressed. The resulting collection addresses art through an activist lens to examine intersectional feminism, decolonization, and feminist institution building in a Canadian context.
