This collection brings together leading feminist thinkers who examine the struggles for interpretive power which underlies international development. Questions why the insights from years of feminist gender and development research are so often turned into ‘gender myths’ and ‘feminist fables’: women are more likely to care for the environment; are better at working together; are less corrupt; have a seemingly infinite capacity to surviveExplores how bowdlerized and impoverished representations of gender relations have simultaneously come to be embedded in development policy and practiceTraces the ways in which language and images of development are related to practice and provides a nuanced account of the politics of knowledge productionArgues that struggles for interpretive power are not only important for our own sake, but also for the implications they have for women’s lives worldwideAn informed analysis of how ‘gender’ has been transformed in its transfer into development policy and how many authors are now revisiting and reflecting on their earlier work

Co-published with Le BAL, this book in flexible and paperback format reads like a trace of the works gathered on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition around a transient state of our time: the suspense. Between abstraction and fragility, he bypasses the idea of ??the traditional catalog to transcribe through fine pages in black and white this intangible and indefinable state. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Pending, Le Bal, Paris, February 8 - May 13, 2018
