Klappentext zu „Feminist Science Fiction and Feminist Epistemology “
This book argues that feminist science fiction shares the same concerns as feminist epistemology-challenges to the sex of the knower, the valuation of the abstract over the concrete, the dismissal of the physical, the focus on rationality and reason, the devaluation of embodied knowledge, and the containment of (some) bodies. Ritch Calvin argues that feminist science fiction asks questions of epistemology because those questions are central to making claims of subjectivity and identity. Calvin reveals how women, who have historically been marginal to the deliberations of philosophy and science, have made significant contributions to the reconsideration and reformulation of the epistemological models of the world and the individuals in it.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Feminist Science Fiction and Feminist Epistemology “

Pressezitat
"Ritch Calvin's Feminist Science Fiction is a clear, solidly argued, and original approach to the genre. ... The book's very consistent and clear structure is one of its strengths ... . Calvin's is a fresh reading of a familiar novel." (Brian Attebery, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 44, 2017) Kommentar zu "Feminist Science Fiction and Feminist Epistemology"
