In 50 accessible essays\, the writing spans the worlds of pop culture\, art\, politics\, the criminal justice system\, economics\, conspiracy\, sexuality\, and activism.

There is also a strong historical and theoretical element to the book\, with chapters on postmodern feminism\, women’s suffrage\, marxist feminism\, anarcho-feminism\, Black feminism\, abolitionist feminism\, queer theory\, psychoanalytic feminism\, and much more. The book has been endorsed by Mel B (Scary Spice)\, Gina Martin\, Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist podcast)\, Amnesty International UK\, Poorna Bell\, Charlie Craggs\, Sian Norris and Andrew Bernie Bernard. The book is part of the popular 50 Ideas You Really Need to Know series\, which includes books on art\, literature\, psychology\, politics\, physics\, fashion\, literature and much more.

SUMMARY:PANEL DISCUSSION: Amy De'Ath's 'BEHIND OUR BACKS: Feminzed Poetry and Capitalist Abstraction'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel to celebrate the publication of Amy De’Ath’s seminal new work of Marxist-Feminist theory\, alongside Samuel Solomon and Rebecca Carson. \n\n\n\nIn this daring study\, Amy De’Ath develops a new type of literary criticism attuned to the way our lives are shaped by capital’s impersonal compulsions – by what happens “behind our backs.” Challenging the symptomatic interpretive methods of Western Marxism\, De’Ath argues that value-critical accounts of Marx’s work enable a feminist reading method that understands how value dissimulates itself from the social forms it generates\, obscuring their historical content. \n\n\n\nClose reading works by Kay Gabriel\, Bernadette Mayer\, Bhanu Kapil\, Marie Annharte Baker\, Alli Warren\, and Hannah Black\, Behind Our Backs explains how these examples of feminized ingenuity reveal capital to be the expression of a social relation that must take form—an abstract logic realized every day\, and one whose gendering inversions are felt and critiqued in the poetic experiments of trans\, queer\, Indigenous\, and diasporic writing. Feminized poetry\, De’Ath demonstrates\, is both a central archive and theoretical powerhouse for the critique of capitalist political economy. \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.
