Free Download Deconstruction, feminist theology, and the problem of difference: subverting the race/gender divide By Ellen T. Armour
1999 | 275 Pages | ISBN: 0226026892 | PDF | 11 MB
The term "feminism" conjures up the promise of resistance to the various forms of oppression women face. But feminism’s ability to fulfill this promise has been undermined by its failure to deal adequately with the difference that race makes for gender. In this book, Ellen T. Armour forges an alliance between deconstruction and feminist theology and theory by demonstrating deconstruction’s usefulness in addressing feminism’s trouble with race. Armour shows how the writings of Jacques Derrida and Luce Irigaray can be used to uncover feminism’s white presumptions so that race and gender can be thought of differently. In clear, concise terms she explores the possibilities and limitations for feminist theology of Derrida’s conception of "woman" and Irigaray’s "multiple woman," as well as Derrida’s thinking on race and Irigaray’s work on religion. Armour then points a way beyond the race/gender divide with the help of African-American theorists such as bell hooks, Hortense Spillers, and Patricia Hill Collins.

Free Download Beyond accommodation: ethical feminism, deconstruction, and the law By Drucilla Cornell
1999 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 084769268X | PDF | 10 MB
This new edition of Drucilla Cornell’s highly acclaimed book includes a substantial new introduction by the author, which situates the book within current feminist debates. In Beyond Accommodation, Drucilla Cornell offers a highly original vision of what feminist theory can give contemporary women. She challenges essentialist and naturalist accounts of feminine sexuality, arguing that any attempt to affirm woman’s value and difference by either emphasizing her maternal role or repudiating the feminine only entraps women, once again, in a container that curtails feminine sexual difference, legitimates the masculine fantasy of woman, and reinstates, rather than dismantles, the gender hierarchy. In response to these movements, Beyond Accommodation strives to broaden the scope of feminist theory by articulating a platform, under the concept of relative universalism, which proposes the idea that women are not a unified and homogenous group although they are positioned as women in patriarchy. Cornell’s theory allows for differences in women’s situations without giving up on the idea that women are fighting a common phenomenon called patriarchy.

Free Download Derrida’s Social Ontology: Institutions in Deconstruction by Ryan A. Gustafson
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 198 Pages | ISBN : 3031414934 | 4.1 MB
Derrida’s Social Ontology: Institutions in Deconstruction presents the first dedicated study of Jacques Derrida’s philosophy of institutions. While previous studies of Derrida’s thought have considered his engagement with individual institutions-from the university to literature, law, and psychoanalysis, among others-Derrida’s Social Ontology offers the first attempt to reconstruct and defend the philosophical theory of institutions that underlies these engagements. In so doing, the book argues that the theme of "the institution" in Derrida’s oeuvre offers the best throughline for understanding the substantively normative significance of deconstruction as a philosophical practice, arguing that Derrida is unique among so-called "postmodern" thinkers in providing an account of the relationship between the historically contingent character of institutions and the normative entitlements that such entities make possible. Specifically, the book shows how Derrida accounts for this relationship in a way that leaves room for a notion of "unconditional responsibility" for the social and political world to the extent that the latter is structured by perfectible institutions. In tracing the development of Derrida’s account of this link between the historicity and normativity of institutional life-from his early writings on the historicity of the institution of philosophy, to his later critiques of practices of institutional cruelty like the death penalty-Derrida’s Social Ontology not only offers readers a new framework for making sense of the normative commitments that defined this philosopher’s writings, but will also establish the terms for putting his works into conversation with contemporary debates in social and political philosophy and critical theory more broadly.
