description: Tactical Readings analyzes the work of Kathy Acker and Angela Carter and argues for putting feminist practices of reading at the center of a revitalized concept of postmodernism. In Ackerâ€s and Carterâ€s rereading of even those images decried by some feminists as most compromised and patriarchal Pitchford also sees a way for feminism to move beyond its internal divisions over sexuality and obscenity.
