<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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, <i>Bodies of Water </i>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.<br/> <br/> Building on the works by Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For the last couple of decades, feminist theory has been immersed in a new materialist wave that has produced among the most innovative and capacious ways to think and to respond critically--ontologically, ethically, and politically--within the depths of the ongoing ecological crises. If hardly any field of philosophy, cultural studies, or science studies has been as well-equipped to think the posthuman turn as feminist approaches have, Astrida Neimanis's <i>Bodies of Water</i> brilliantly synthesizes, illustrates, and continues this feminist ebullition.<br/>Hypatia<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Astrida Neimanis</b> is Lecturer in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia. She is the co-editor of <i>Thinking With Water </i>(2013).
