Abstract

The edited volume "Feminist Speculation" by Naomie Gramlich and Marie-Luise Angerer is not only a collection of different perspectives on the method and discourse history of feminist speculation. It also includes German translations of two texts by Ursula K. Le Guin and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, which have recently become a reference point for feminist theorists. In addition to exploring the scope of meaning of "speculation", the volume examines concepts such as critique, narration, and the Anthropocene for their blind spots. The result is a multi-voiced discussion about the power and knowledge generation of historiography and narration.
