Beschreibung
Brings together wide-ranging, interdisciplinary analyses of Luce Irigaray's rethinking of space with respect to sexaul difference and the visual arts.
A rethinking of space is central to Luce Irigaray's philosophy of sexual difference. Topologies of Sexual Difference is the first edited collection to focus on this task, exploring in depth Irigaray's critique of the conflation of femininity and space in the Western philosophical tradition and her transvaluation of space to affirm sexual difference. Across thirteen essays, contributors thematize Irigarayan space as porous, fluid, continuous, and self-differentiating, in stark contrast to conceptions of space as an inert container or homogeneous extension. Drawing out the manifold implications of Irigaray's reflections on space for both Western philosophy and the visual arts, Topologies of Sexual Difference demonstrates the fundamental importance of Irigarayan thought for these fields.
