Feminism, Time, and Nonlinear History

by Victoria Browne

How can feminism draw productively on its own history, without passively conforming to expectations of the past, or elevating the past as a nostalgic ideal against which to measure and compare the present? Feminism, Time, and Nonlinear History proposes an innovative 'polytemporal' model of historical time in relation to feminist historiography. Interweaving phenomenological, hermeneutical, and sociopolitical analyses, this book considers the ways in which feminists conceptualize and produce the temporalities of feminism, including the time of the trace, narrative time, calendar time, and generational time.

I honestly didn’t know what she was talking about half the time. But the things I did understand were interesting and well explained.
