內容簡介
In response to a long tradition of objectification, twentieth-century French feminism has sought to liberate the female body from the confines of patriarchal logos and inscribe its rhythms in writing. Now Amaleena Daml? explores contemporary female corporeality and transformation among a range of contemporary philosophers and French-language texts. Looking back at how "women's writing" evolved in the years before and after the turn of the millennium, Daml? identifies the place in which philosophy and literature intersect. Focusing on four international, contemporary female authors -- Am?lie Nothomb, Ananda Devi, Marie Darrieussecq, and Nina Bouraoui -- she follows the contestation, exception, and transformation of the female body's traditional limits. Incorporating key concepts from the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and F?lix Guattari, she opens new pathways in the study of contemporary feminism, postfeminism, gender theory, and postcolonial studies.
