Beskrivning
Set against a backdrop of Marx's theory of how we mediate, regulate, and control our metabolic relation to nature, of the rise of a bourgeois faecal habitus, of the relegation of domestic waste management to female meta-industrial workers, of depleted agricultural fields and polluted urban centres, Dissident Gut performs three in-depth case studies of early twentieth-century English and European women whose wayward intestinal systems intervene in larger social, affective, and political networks, and who assert a peristaltic grammar of desire and resistance. Intervenes in theoretical discussions around the gut-brain axis, biopolitics and biopower, materialist feminism, psychoanalysis and hysteria, bodily habitus, and waste management.
