Masculine/feminine - Practices of Difference(s)

Informationen zum Autor Nelly Richard Klappentext """Nelly Richard wrestles with the materiality of critique so that it maintains the inscriptions of antagonism, making it an indispensable instrument for an effective democratic culture. In "Masculine/Feminine," that antagonism is explored through a consideration of gender and how authority and power weave their apparent neutrality and objectivity in the masculine register. The disruptive feminist strategies deployed by the writers and artists considered here beckon to an elsewhere where creativity, fantasy, pleasure, taste, and style mingle in the 'figural and strategic repertoires of seduction and sedition.'"--George Yudice, author of "The Expediency of Culture: Uses of Culture in the Global Era" Zusammenfassung Nelly Richard is one of the most prominent cultural theorists writing in Latin America. Richard helped to organize the 1987 International Conference on Latin American Women's Literature in Santiago. This work develops some of the key issues brought to the fore during that landmark meeting.
