Beskrivning
Following a long tradition of objectification, 20th-century French feminism often sought to liberate the female body from the confines of patriarchal logos and to inscribe its rhythms in writing. Amaleena Damlé addresses questions of bodies, boundaries and philosophical discourses by exploring the intersections between a range of contemporary philosophers and authors on the subject of contemporary female corporeality and transformation.

Recensioner i media

In this bold and challenging study, Amaleena Damlé brilliantly engages with both literature and philosophy as they attempt to address the vexed question of human embodiment. Reading contemporary writing by women alongside works by Gilles Deleuze proves to be both theoretically bracing and politically enlightening. This book deserves to be widely read.
