We share the collection of interviews Urgent Conversations: Twelve Thinkers for a Critical Present, co-edited by Samara de las Heras Aguilera and published by Icaria Editorial. Icaria Editorial.
What do a posthuman philosopher, a feminist jurist, a theorist of emotions, an activist against extractivism, and a sociologist who is a pioneer in intersectional and anti-racist feminism have in common? The need to rethink the world from the perspective of justice, life, and care.
In this book, María Eugenia Rodríguez Palop talks with twelve key thinkers in contemporary feminist thought. These are profound, lively interviews that address the most pressing issues of our time: patriarchal violence, the eco-social crisis, care work, migration, feminist justice, love, identity, and hope.
Rita Segato, Silvia Federici, Seyla Benhabib, Rosi Braidotti, Eva Illouz, Maristella Svampa, Alda Facio, Patricia Hill Collins, Alessandra Facchi, Yayo Herrero, Kajsa Ekis Ekman, and Morena Herrera share their ideas, experiences, and political views here, in an exchange of knowledge that avoids dogma and promotes dialogue.
This book is not just a cartography of global feminist thought: it is an invitation to think together, honestly and radically, about a present full of challenges, but also possibilities.
