Critically adapts the notion of desire in Luce Irigaray's philosophy to rethink the role of embodiment in sociopolitical and philosophical discourses today.Arguing for a radical return to desire in Luce Irigaray's thought, this book decisively intervenes in impasses around questions of identity that continue to confound contemporary discourse and politics. By prioritizing the disruptive potential of desire rather than sexual difference, Wesley N. Barker extends Irigaray's relational theory of becoming into new territory, opening generative, often surprising pathways for conversation with philosophies of race, queer theory, political theology, decolonial theory, and posthuman thought. As a source for reimagining materiality, desire is pulled free of a phallocentric, white, colonial framework and mobilized toward a philosophy of living capable of addressing the twenty-first century's multifaceted crises of identity, representation, and embodiment.

Contributors bring Irigaray's concept of the threshold to bear on a range of issues in this innovative, transdisciplinary volume.In Luce Irigaray's work, the threshold (le seuil) designates a new horizon of space and time, and therein a transformative possibility of relation through difference. Thresholds of Irigaray brings together a diverse set of scholarly voices—including renowned philosophers George Yancy and Kristin Sampson—to think with, through, and beyond Irigaray's concept of the threshold. While part 1 focuses on immanent readings of Irigaray's work and part 2 extends her work beyond her own aims, all of the essays in this volume envision the threshold as a resource for engaging pressing philosophical, ethical, and political concerns. Contributors approach topics ranging from sustainable farming practices, architectural design, and science fiction fandom to the racialization of sexuate difference, fetal personhood, and the nature of the universe itself. Through these innovative explorations of the space and time of relation, Thresholds of Irigaray affirms the applicability of Irigaray's thought not only to different disciplines but also to the challenges of living in today's world and creating new worlds.
