Thinking Through the Body

From one of our most outspoken feminist critics, this collection explores various ways in which the body can be rethought of as a site of knowledge rather than as a medium to move beyond or dominate. Moving between a theoretical and confessional stance, Gallop explores Sade´s relation to mothers both in his novels and his life; Barthe´s The Pleasure of the Text; Freud´s work, read not as a psychological text but as a literary endeavor and from a woman´s point of view; and Luce Irigarary's famous This Sex Which Is Not One.
