  Harnessing the energy of provocative theories generated by recent understandings of the human body, the natural world, and the material world, Material Feminisms presents an entirely new way for feminists to conceive of the question of materiality. In lively and timely essays, an international group of feminist thinkers challenges the assumptions and norms that have previously defined studies about the body. These wide-ranging essays grapple with topics such as the material reality of race, the significance of sexual difference, the impact of disability experience, and the complex interaction between nature and culture in traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina. By insisting on the importance of materiality, this volume breaks new ground in philosophy, feminist theory, cultural studies, science studies, and other fields where the body and nature collide.

  Youth and Society - Examining...

  Youth is a dynamic and socially constructed stage of life, shaped by cultural, economic, and historical factors. It is not merely a biological phase between childhood and adulthood but a period influenced by social expectations, policies, and institutional frameworks. While age-based definitions exist, they vary across cultures and societies, making "youth" a flexible and evolving category. 
  Historically, the concept of youth has changed over time. In traditional societies, young people transitioned quickly into adult roles through work, marriage, and family responsibilities. However, industrialization, urbanization, and formal education systems extended this period, creating a distinct youth culture. In contemporary society, youth is often associated with identity exploration, self-discovery, and the gradual assumption of adult responsibilities. This shift has been influenced by structural changes such as the expansion of higher education, delayed workforce entry, and evolving family dynamics. 
  The social construction of youth is evident in the ways governments, media, and institutions define and regulate young people’s lives. Policies related to education, employment, and legal adulthood shape how youth are perceived and treated in different regions. For example, the legal age for voting, drinking, and working varies across countries, reflecting societal expectations of maturity and responsibility. Similarly, media representations often portray youth either as a time of opportunity and innovation or as a period of rebellion and risk, shaping public perceptions and policy decisions.
