Is Feminism without the agency of sexed subjects possible? Can the problems of a highly gendered world be formulated and tackled without resorting to the notion of fundamental sexual difference? Is it possible for a Feminism that is not based on the assumption of sexed beings to gain any consistency and follow any concerted strategy? The project of this study is not only to show that all these questions can be answered with a full-hearted - Yes! - but to explore the huge scope of conceptual and also practical possibilities that are created by this change of paradigms. Possibilities that are foreclosed - as the first chapters attempt to work out - by Judith Butlers so important theory of gendered subjects, and limited by Rosi Braidottis or Elizabeth Groszs endeavours to read Deleuzian concepts under the assumption of Irigarayan sexual difference. Gilles Deleuzes and Félix Guattaris thinking provides us with conceptual tools for a thorough analysis of the status quo - and means for conceptualising resistance that do not perpetuate the power structures it is fighting against. This book is an invitation to get in touch with these tools, join the alliance (no matter whether queer or feminist) - and Make Rhizomes!Zugegeben: Ich habe nicht alles verstanden. Und habe mich doch maßlos bereichert an diesem reichen Buch. So viel Beglückendes, so viel Verqueres liegt in diesem schwerelosen Denken. Admittedly, I have not understood it all. Yet I feel enriched beyond measure by this book. So much delightfulness, so much queer quirkiness, lies within these weightless thoughts. (Antje Rávic Strubel)
