Mariana Ortega is Associate Professor of Philosophy, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Latina/o Studies at Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of In-Between: Latina Feminist Phenomenology, Multiplicity, and the Self and coeditor of Constructing the Nation: A Race and Nationalism Reader and Theories of the Flesh: Latinx and Latin American Feminisms, Transformation, and Resistance.“This is a remarkable book. Through an analysis of artistic practices and ideas, Mariana Ortega produces a feeling-thinking, or sentir-pensar, of the contemporary conditions of immigrant life, Latinx life, female embodiment, and queer life. By focusing on an aesthetics of the carnal, she explores how art can change our habits of perception to help us see and feel what is before us. This is a book that has a heartbeat.”
- Linda Martín Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy, City University of New York,
“Mariana Ortega is a compassionate thinker who argues for the importance of feelings and affect, both as these negatively shape us within racism and homophobia, for example, and also as that which might allow us to resist and transform the oppressively dominant. This highly polished, deeply thought, and carefully argued book is the product of a mind deeply in touch with aesthetic sensibility, bodily knowledge, and a hunger for love and justice. A lovely, mature work.”
- Laura E. Pérez, Professor of Chicanx and Latinx Studies, University of California, Berkeley,
