Resistance, Flight, Creation: Feminist Enactments of French Philosophy


Add your own review!

Overview

The 13 female philosopher contributors to this text locate new feminist points of view within the discipline by engaging works of contemporary French philosophy. They amplify the work of philosophers including Beauvoir, Irigaray and Kofman but also appropriate the work of male philosophers including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre. The essays illustrate the manner in which feminist philosophers bypass traditional methodology in favour of a disciplinary freedom characterized by fluid methodologies - best exemplified in Beauvoir's work - and by the employment of imaginative forms, including the autobiographical and the poetic. The modes of inquiry in the volume range from psychoanalysis and existentialism to deconstruction, post-structuralism and newly resurgent phenomenology. The book also contains a bibliography of feminist thinkers who are enacting French philosophy in English, German and French.
