merged in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Through personal essays, criticism, interviews, testimonials, poetry, and visual art, the collection explores, as coeditor Cherríe Moraga writes, the complex confluence of identities--race, class, gender, and sexuality--systemic to women of color oppression and liberation. Reissued here, forty years after its inception, this anniversary edition contains a new preface by Moraga reflecting on Bridge's living legacy and the broader community of women of color activists, writers, and artists whose enduring contributions dovetail with its radical vision. Further features help set the volume's historical context, including an extended introduction by Moraga from the 2015 edition, a statement written by Gloria Anzaldúa in 1983, and visual art produced during the same period by Betye Saar, Ana Mendieta, Yolanda López, and others, curated by their contemporary, artist Celia Herrera Rodríguez. Bridge continues to reflect an evolving definition of feminism, one that can effectively adapt to and help inform an understanding of the changing economic and social conditions of women of color in the United States and throughout the world.

Des corps féminins en rangées, qui se meuvent en synchronie. Ils ne se distinguent que par le détail d’un vêtement, d’une courbe, d’une teinte de cheveux. Les filles en série créent l’illusion de la perfection. Ce sont des filles-machines, filles-marchandises, filles-ornements. Toutes reproduites mécaniquement par l’usine ordinaire de la misogynie. Les filles sont des filles parce qu’elles sont en série. Mais la figure des filles en série est double: à la fois serial girls et serial killers de l’identité qu’on cherche à leur imposer. Entre aliénation et contestation, les filles en série résistent à leur chosification, cassent le party, libèrent la poupée et se mettent à courir. Cet essai percutant, paru pour la première fois en 2013, se déploie comme une chaîne qui se fait et se défait, depuis les Cariatides jusqu’aux Pussy Riot. Dans cette édition revue et augmentée, Martine Delvaux s’attaque à la blancheur des filles en série et analyse de nouvelles formes de résistance investies par les ballerines, les survivantes d’agressions et Beyoncé.

Feminism is one of the most important perspectives from which visual culture has been theorized and historicized over the past forty years. Challenging the notion of feminism as a unified discourse, this second edition of The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader assembles a wide array of writings that address art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective. The essays, 40% of which are new to the second edition, are informed by the authors’ deep attention to historical, geographical, and disciplinary contexts as well as by cutting edge concerns such as globalization, diasporic cultural shifts, developments in new media technologies, and intersectional identity politics. The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader combines classic texts with six specially commissioned pieces, all by leading feminist critics, historians, theorists, artists, and activists. Articles are grouped into thematic sections, each of which is introduced by the editor. Providing a framework within which to understand the shifts in feminist thinking in visual studies, as well as an overview of major feminist theories of the visual, this reader also explores how issues of race, class, nationality, and sexuality enter into debates about feminism in the field of the visual

This volume provides an essential key to understanding the issues which characterise post-colonialism, explaining what it is, where it is encountered and why it is crucial in forging new cultural identities. As a subject, post-colonial studies stands at the intersection of debates about race, colonialism, gender, politics and language. In the language of post-colonial studies, some words are new, others are familiar words charged with new significance.
