Feminist Cultural Production: Critical Debates and Practices
volume 29 numbers 3 and 4

The articles in this issue of RFR/DRF critically debate practices of feminist cultural production and contribute to feminist dilemmas arising from cultural practices. What is evident in the multiplicity of concerns and approaches in this collection is an engagement with dilemmas of "feminist" and "cultural production," a productive and invigorating tension that is reflected in the title of the issue, Feminist Cultural Production: Critical Debates and Practices. The articles in this issue set out to contest and confound assumptions about, and, in fact, to develop a flexible and unfixed vision of what constitutes cultural production. The issue offers analyses of a range of cultural forms and practices across many conceptual and theoretical frameworks.
