Summary "How does feminism change the way we can know ourselves and others? Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology outlines a compelling new agenda for feminist theories of identity and social relations. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis with feminist epistemology, this book sets out a groundbreaking psychoanalytic social theory. Campbell's work offers answers to the important contemporary question of how feminism can change the formation of gendered subjectivities and social relations. Drawing on the work of the third wave, the book shows how feminism can provide new political models of knowing and disrupt foundational ideas of sexual identity." "Kirsten Campbell engages the reader with an original interpretation of Lacanian psychoanalysis and offers a compelling argument for a fresh commitment to the politics of feminism. Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology will be essential reading for anyone with interests in gender studies, cultural studies, psychoanalytic studies or social and political theory."--BOOK JACKET
