New volume of n.paradoxa: international feminist art journal

n.paradoxa: international feminist art journal announces volume 30 (July 2012) on 'feminist aesthetics'.

What is feminist aesthetics? To some, it arises in a close reading of contemporary women artists' works with attention to feminist theory. To others, feminist aesthetics represents a model guiding the production of works, exhibition strategies and the presentation of feminist art. While to others again, exploring the relationship between aesthetics and politics becomes a means to re-activate a new set of relationships between art and activism, and through these means produce new forms of feminist politics through their practices. These three key ideas are explored in the close readings of different women artists' projects in this volume.
