The distancing, abstract academic language (e.g., “transnational feminist autoethnography,” “transnational feminist object,” “anamorphic apparatus”) got old very quickly. I didn’t read far enough to discover the nature of the author’s pain, but I had a hard time believing that anyone in actual physical distress could produce such a rambling fanciful piece. “Feminist enchantment,” anyone? I might not be “scarred” by attempting to engage with this, but it was painful enough—as far as reading goes—to encourage me to curtail the journey. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Offers thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to deal with painWhat can we ask of pain? How can we be more creative and courageous in carrying pain in our lives? In this genre-bending work that is equal parts memoir and scholarly criticism, L. Ayu Saraswati provides thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to understand pain, specifically in relation to feminism. Arguing that pain is not merely a state we are in, Scarred reframes pain as a transnational feminist object, something that we can carry across international borders. Drawing on her own experience traveling across twenty countries within just over a year, Saraswati aims to bring readers along on her journey so that they might ask themselves, How can I live with pain differently?By using pain as a lens of feminist analysis, Scarred allows us to chart how power produces and operates through pain, and how pain is embodied and embedded in relationships. Saraswati provides a heartfelt and engaging recount of her experiences while also pushing the boundaries of the respective fields her story engages with. She allows for renewed academic and personal insights to blossom by using a blend of transnational feminist theory, travel studies, and pain studies. Ultimately, Scarred invites us to reframe pain and ask how might we carry it in a more humane, life-sustaining, enchanting, and feminist way. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
