Postculturalism, Feminism, and Religion Triangulating Positions

In this brilliant assessment of the relation between post-structuralism and feminism to current religious thought, philosopher of religion Carol Wayne White convincingly demonstrates that postmodernist continental and feminist philosophies -- far from being antithetical to religious concerns -- in fact enrich our understanding of religion and its relevance to debates about contemporary culture. By triangulating these three unique perspectives on culture she expands prevailing views of cultural criticism and opens up the discussion to new creative solutions that arise from the intersecting interests of post-structuralist, feminist, and religious studies.

Carol Wayne White is chair of the Department of Religion at Bucknell University.
