    Keywords: Feminism ; Feminism History ; Third-wave feminism.. ; Feminist theory ; Electronic books ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: This timely, thoughtful and provocative collection explores the current period in feminism, known by many as the 'third wave'. Four sections - genealogies, sex and gender, popular culutre, challenges - interrogate the wave metaphor and, through questioning the generational account of feminism, move feminist theory out from its present cul-de-sac. Contributions - from key and innovative third wave theorists, transgenderists, cybertheorists and cultural specialists as well as materialist and second wave feminists - introduce key debates and issues facing feminism, deepen our understanding of feminist theory and practice and indicate future trajectories for the feminist movement

This book brings together, for the first time, contributions that consider the ethics as well as the aesthetics of humour. The book focuses on the abuses and limits of humour, some of which excite considerable social tension and controversy. Beyond a Joke is an exciting intervention, full of challenging questions and issues
