Description
Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and Craft: Shadows of Affect investigates the complex relationship between feminist theory, affective experience, and fiber art practices. The work challenges traditional hierarchies that have historically marginalized craft and textile arts, positioning them as vital spaces for feminist expression and subjectivity formation.
Through detailed analysis of contemporary fiber artists and craft practitioners, Corso-Esquivel demonstrates how materials, techniques, and processes in textiles become vehicles for articulating feminist perspectives and emotional labor. The book engages with affect theory to explore how artistic practice generates meaning beyond visual representation, examining the shadowy, often invisible emotional dimensions of creative work.
This Routledge Research volume contributes significantly to gender studies, art history, and craft discourse, offering new frameworks for understanding how makers use fiber arts to challenge patriarchal norms and construct alternative feminist subjectivities.
