What is the relationship between feminism and philosophy today? Although feminist philosophy is now a recognized field in the institution of philosophy, a tension between the terms feminism and philosophy persists. From the perspective of philosophy, feminist philosophy may seem too committed to political change. From the perspective of feminism, the practice of philosophy may seem too far removed from the pressing concerns of injustice in ordinary life. This volume is an interdisciplinary initiative at the intersection of philosophy, the history of ideas, and feminist theory, where philosophy is scrutinized from a feminist perspective and asks questions about what philosophy has to offer feminism.

THE ANTHOLOGY RE-NEGOTIATIONS:The role of public art after the turn of the millennium is a result of a research project commissioned by the Public Art Agency Sweden by theArt History department at Södertörn University. The book departs from the complex situation that governs public art, permanent and temporary,whether commissioned and sanctioned by private or public funds or through on individual initiative. Art is discussed here as ongoing projectsor discrete works of art, its function as value-creating, security-creating, commemorative as well as being part of short participation processes and/or acting over a long period of time.
