Out for Blood: Essays on Menstruation and Resistance

Breanne Fahs, 2016 Albany: State University of New York Press, United States.

"It is love that bleeds": social anxieties, activisms and new subjectivities around the menstrual cycle

  • Karina Felitti

Out of blood brings together eleven essays that analyze the culture and politics of menstruation and connect them with identity politics (feminism, anti-racism, queer subjectivities), body awareness and knowledge, social inequities and the possibilities of transformation that they generate activisms and solidarity that are woven based on the body. From an interdisciplinary approach that combines feminist theory, social sciences, psychotherapy discourses, cultural studies, trans, sexuality and gender studies, Fahs wonders in what ways ordinary bodily processes can have implications for social justice and the construction of new menstrual stories, individually and collectively.

Sexual and reproductive rights of women in Latin America under debate

The arrival of sexual and reproductive rights on the public agenda marked a new moment in the dynamics between law and society in Latin America. But despite important regional and international advances in guaranteeing sexual and reproductive rights in recent years, these often provoke tensions between those who favor their recognition and those who oppose them. In the discrepancy of this issue of Inserts, we hope to clarify some of the main points of the debate around this topic so fundamental for the life and health of women, and for social equality in Latin America.
