We and not we: conclusion. Alexis L. Boylan -- Is the future disabled? / Michael Gill -- We are not things! Fury Road's white slavery story / Anna Mae Duane -- Post-post-post beauty at the end of the world / Alexis L. Boylan -- We and not we: conclusion.
Summary:
While both fans and foes point to Mad Max: Fury Road's feminist credentials, Furious Feminisms asks: is there really anything feminist or radical happening on the screen? The four authors--from backgrounds in art history, American literature, disability studies, and sociology--ask what is possible, desirable, or damaging in theorizing feminism in the contested landscape of the twenty-first century. Can we find beauty in the Anthropocene? Can power be wrested from a violent system without employing and perpetuating violence? This experiment in collaborative criticism weaves multiple threads of dialogue together to offer a fresh perspective on our current cultural moment.
