Enacting Pleasure - A Response to Carol Gilligan's New Map of Love

Informationen zum Autor Peggy Cooper Davis is the John S. R. Shad Professor of Lawyering and Ethics at New York University and the author of Neglected Stories: The Constitution and Family Values . Lizzy Cooper Davis is a performance artist and doctoral candidate in African and African American studies and anthropology at Harvard University. Klappentext With the publication of In a Different Voice, Carol Gilligan made the altogether obvious but nonetheless controversial claim that a psychology of male development could not suffice as a psychology of human development. Since the publication of that revolutionary book, Gilligan has been recognized as a pioneer of feminist thought, but often vilified as an essentialist and a proponent of difference. A quarter of a century later, with the publication of The Birth of Pleasure, Gilligan offered an interpretation of human psychology, arguing through field research, through literature, and through personal and political histories that the pleasure of love is a common human denominator and that inhibiting pleasure is a price that men and women pay equally for socialization in a hierarchical culture. Zusammenfassung Explores the personal and political implications of Gilligan's account of pleasure and the human psyche.
