Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the Public: Women and the “Re-Privatization” of Labor (Education, Politics and Public Life)

Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the Public argues that feminism needs to develop a theory of the public. It responds to a moment when feminism's impetus to reconstitute the private sphere left a huge gap in its political thinking on the public. This inattention to the public is particularly worrisome now when the nation-state and its publics seem to have diminishing power and compromised democratic agency. The waning of power in the public sphere diminishes the influence that citizens can have in deciding on the conditions of life, and therefore minimizes the changes that feminists can envision or enact in the social field to work towards equality, access, deliberation, participation, just distribution, rights, and authority for women.

Recently, labor has acquired a re-emergent public relevance. In response, feminist theory urgently needs to reconsider the relationship between labor and gender. This book builds a theoretically-informed politics about changes in the gendered structure of labor by analyzing how the symbolic power of gender is put in the service of neoliberal practices. Goodman traces the cultural contextualization of 'women's work' from its Marxist roots to its current practices. From the income gap to the gendering of industries, Goodman explores and critiques the rise of corporate power under neoliberalism and the ways and whys that femininity has become one of its principle commodities.

Der Schwerpunkt der neuen Auflage liegt beim Vorschul- und Grundschulalter, berücksichtigt aber ebenso das Jugendalter. Die Autoren betrachten spezifische Störungen unter entwicklungspsychopathologischen Aspekten. Ausführlich beschreiben sie jugendliche Delinquenz - Selbstmord(versuch) sowie Schizophrenie, Substanzmissbrauch und Essstörungen. In den Leitlinien: neues Klinik- und Detailwissen. Die Auflage betrachtet die Wechselwirkung von Genetik und Umwelt, vor allem zur Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung. Psychotherapeutische Interventionen sind bezüglich deren Evidenzbasiertheit strenger hinterfragt. Plus: Neurofeedback.
