In a world in which \"a woman's voice\" exists in bodies called on to occupy important positions in corporations, government, and cultural and academic institutions, to work in factories, and to join the army--but whose bodies are systematically rendered vulnerable by gender violence and by the double burden imposed on them to perform both productive and reproductive labor--Emmelhainz asks: What is the task of thought and form in contemporary feminist-situated knowledge? \u003ci\u003eToxic Loves, Impossible Futures\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays rethinking feminist issues in the current context of the production of redundant populations, the omnipresence of the technosphere and environmental devastation, toxic relationships, toxic nationalisms, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These reflections and dialogues are an urgent attempt to resist the present in the company of the voices of women like bell hooks, Sara Ahmed, Leslie Jamison, Lina Meruane, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Chris Kraus, Ala?de Foppa, Lorena Wolffer, Sayak Valencia, Pip Day, Veronica Gonzalez Pe?a, Eimear McBride, Simone de Beauvoir, Elena Poniatowska, Susan Sontag, Margaret Randall, Simone Weil, Arundhati Roy, Marta Lamas, Paul B.
