She applies Foucault's notion of practices of the self to contemporary feminist practices, such as consciousness-raising and autobiography, and concludes that the connection between self-transformation and social transformation that Foucault theorizes as the connection between subjectivity and institutional and social norms is crucial for contemporary feminist theory and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47590457639063,"sku":"9780791455142","price":3528.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791455142.webp?v=1774970071","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/feminism-foucault-and-embodied-subjectivity-9780791455142","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
