Set against a backdrop of Marx\u2019s theory of how we \u201Cmediate, regulate, and control\u201D our metabolic relation to nature, of the rise of a bourgeois faecal habitus, of the relegation of domestic waste management to female \u201Cmeta-industrial\u201D workers, of depleted agricultural fields and polluted urban centres, Dissident Gut performs three in-depth case studies of early twentieth-century English and European women whose wayward intestinal systems intervene in larger social, affective, and political networks, and who assert a peristaltic grammar of desire and resistance. Intervenes in theoretical discussions around the gut-brain axis, biopolitics and biopower, materialist feminism, psychoanalysis and hysteria, bodily habitus, and waste management.\n\nDissident Gut\nTechnologies of Regularity, Politics of Revolt\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertise;
