Precarity” is a tricky term because it names a threat that is real and pervasive and consists of many elements crucial to an individual being. Judith Butler describes precarity as “a politically induced condition in which certain populations suffer from failing social and economic support networks and become differentially exposed to injury, violence and death” (2010). The fundamental question addressed by the authors in this book is how those who use the theory of care can respond effectively to the prevailing reality of neoliberal precarity. Another significant aspect of the […]

When we try to reconstruct the lives of women in historical contexts, we encounter persistent problems caused by the lack of direct evidence coming from the women themselves. We learn about their history from men’s narrative and men’s perspectives. Difficulties related to the depiction of women’s lives in the ancient world are numerous, and our task is made especially difficult by the religious context. The Greek, Jewish, or Christian testimonies from the ancient world presented here are notoriously male-oriented in their worldview and view of the ‘other world’. The book[…]

This book discusses the different ways in which feminists have understood labor, especially women’s labor, in relation to issues of freedom and oppression.

Starting from the question “Who cleans the world?”, this book examines feminist struggles in the context of a violent and brutal counter-revolution. This issue prompted a strike by black and brown women who clean the Gare du Nord train station in Paris. This book examines the roles of what we call civilizational feminism in the text, viewed as a special strategy of the current counter-revolution. This feminism borrows the vocabulary and goals of the colonial civilizing mission, modernizing the politics that Frantz Fanon summed up in the sentence: “Let’s win[…]

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global problem and affects the lives of both women and men. In order to make a change, it is important to seriously address this issue in the educational programs of schools and universities where different forms of GBV also occur. Universities should be safe places for everyone, but a large number of teaching and administrative staff and students still know very little about gender equality (Spahić Šiljak et al., 2022). Support, in the processes of equipping higher education, is provided to the 19 universities, through[…]
