Edited by Emine Erdoğan and Demet Gülçiçek, with contributions from leading names in the field, Feminist Teori ile Düşünmek (Thinking with Feminist Theory) is published by İletişim Yayınları. Discussing concepts such as patriarchy, intersectionality, queer, masculinity, performativity, affect, the posthuman and new materialism from a feminist perspective, and offering readers ways of seeing the world differently, the book is a powerful reference both for those who want to discover feminism and for those who wish to deepen their knowledge.
Feminist theory is sometimes treated as merely identifying the differences and inequalities between women and men; it is assumed to be only about women and of concern only to women. Yet feminist theory is alive and can be applied to “real” life; at the same time, it brings to life a perspective that could not be gained any other way. It allows us to read conceptually what is right before our eyes – everyday life. Taking this understanding as its starting point, this book examines the relationship between feminist theory and the concepts of politics, epistemology, space, patriarchy, intersectionality, queer, masculinity, performativity, affect, the posthuman and new materialism, and how feminist theory makes these concepts – and thinking with them – possible.
