Following Nietzsche's call for a philosopher-physician and his own use of the bodily language of health and illness as tools to diagnose the ailments of the body politic, this book offers a reconstruction of the concept of political physiology in Nietzsche's thought, bridging gaps between Anglo-American, German and French schools of interpretation.

Recent forms of realism in continental philosophy that are habitually subsumed under the category of "speculative realism," a denomination referring to rather heterogeneous strands of philosophy, bringing together object-oriented ontology (OOO), non-standard philosophy (or non-philosophy), the speculative realist ideas of Quentin Meillassoux and Marxism, have provided grounds for the much needed critique of culturalism in gender theory, and the authority with which post-structuralism has dominated feminist theory for decades. This publication aims to bring forth some of the feminist debates prompted by the so-called "speculative turn," while demonstrating that there has never been a niche of "speculative realist feminism."Whereas most of the contributions featured in this collection provide a theoretical approach invoking the necessity of foregrounding new forms of realism for a "feminism beyond gender as culture," some of the essays tackle OOO only to invite a feminist critical challenge to its paradigm, while others refer to some extent to non-philosophy or the new materialisms but are not reducible to either of the two. We have invited essays from intellectual milieus outside the Anglo-Saxon academic center, bringing together authors from Serbia, Slovenia, France, Ireland, the UK, and Canada, aiming to promote feminist internationalism (rather than a "generous act of cultural inclusion").CONTENTSKaterina Kolozova - Preface: After the "Speculative Turn"Nina Power - Philosophy, Sexism, Emotion, RationalismKatherine Behar - The Other WomanAnne-Françoise Schmid - Libérer épistémologiquement le féminismePatricia Ticineto Clough - Notes for "And They Were Dancing"Joan Copjec - No: FoucaultJelisaveta Blagojević - Thinking WithOutMarina Gržinić - Rearticulating the Speculative TurnFrenchy Lunning - The Crush: The Firey Allure of the Jolted PuppetNandita Biswas Mellamphy - (W)omen out/of Time: Metis, Medea, MahakaliMichael O'Rourke - "Girls Welcome!!!": Speculative Realism, Object-Oriented Ontology, and Queer TheoryABOUT THE EDITORKaterina Kolozova, PhD, is the director of the Institute in Social Sciences and Humanities-Skopje, Macedonia and a professor of gender studies at the University American College-Skopje.
