By delving into the transgressive performances of femininities by marginalized women and transfeminine people of color artists in Brazilian favela funk, the author offers a transnational perspective on the transformative power of embodied politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften studied from a white feminist lens, embodied politics encompasses discussions about agency and structural change that resonate with white women in the West. At the same time, studies of femininity tend to universalize the experiences of gender oppression faced by white women across the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this groundbreaking work, the author challenges the theoretical limitations of white feminist approaches to embodied politics and presents a transfeminist perspective on the concept. Moreover, the project aims to shed light on how traditional methodological approaches have hindered nuanced understandings of women and people of color and their performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, by challenging and re-envisioning the potential of embodied politics from a transnational perspective, the text contributes to the growing field of critical intercultural communications, which has yet to fully explore the bodies and performances of marginalized individuals in global contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 446g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 225 x 150 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781433169564\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raquel Moreira","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101101453562,"sku":"9781433169564","price":72.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646163534316_book.jpg?v=1646915933","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bitches-unleashed-performance-and-embodied-politics-in-favela-funk-9781433169564","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
