New volume of n.paradoxa: international feminist art journal just published

Volume 28 (July 2011) Biopolitics

What is a feminist take on biopolitics? Several routes through the maze of definitions presented by both terms – feminism(s) and biopolitics – are suggested in this volume about contemporary women artists’ practices. Biology + politics? Human bodies, female bodies? Material feminism(s) and feminist materialisms? Art approaching scientific and political issues, art as scientific experiments?
