Gender Emancipation and Political Violence

<p>This volume presents and interrogates both theoretical and artistic expressions of the revolutionary militant spirit associated with 1968 and the aftermath in the specific context of gender. </p><p>The contributors explore political-philosophical discussions of the legitimacy of violence the gender of aggression and peaceability and the contradictions of counter violence; but also women’s artistic and creative interventions which have rarely been considered. Together the chapters provide and provoke a wide-ranging rethink of how we read not only 1968 but more generally the relationship between gender political violence art and emancipation. </p><p>This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of protest and violence in the fields of history politics and international relations sociology cultural studies and women’s studies.</p>
