Recent debates in contemporary feminist theory have been dominated by the relation between identity and politics. This book examines the implications of recent theorizing on difference, identity and subjectivity for theories of patriarchy and feminist politics. In a thoughtful engagement with these debates Moya Lloyd demonstrates how key ideas such as agency, power and domination take on a new shape as a consequence of a rethinking of the subject-politics relation and how the role of feminist political theory becomes centred upon critique

"Celtic Politics offers a model of politics that facilitates the analysis of the Celtic fringe in the political life of Great Britain and Ireland. It is a much-needed corrective to the standard academic approach to British, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish politics and history. This book will help readers conceptualize and understand the Scots, Irish, and Welsh, as well as their interconnected political contexts and systems. Politics in twenty-first century Britain and Ireland have recently seen a rise in ethno-nationalism. This is due to the institutional changes, transformations of political cultures, and geo-political alterations that took place in the latter decades of the twentieth century, widely impacting the status of Celtic nations. Celtic Politics provides a concise explanation of the political development of these nations and illuminates the overall historical significance of this region."--Publisher's website

This book explores the politics of such diverse issues as images and faces in photographs and portraits; expressive faces; psychology and neuroscience; face recognition; face blindness; facial injury, disfigurement and face transplants through questions such as:What it might mean to dismantle the face, and what politics this might entail, in practical terms?What sort of a politics is it? Is it already.
