Throughout the twentieth century, psychoanalysis and feminism were
the practico-intellectual fields most systematic and subversive in
demonstrating that humanity is sexually fissured. More recently,
further advances in the philosophy of difference and renewed
emphases on embodiment, materiality and life offer possibilities
for attending to dimensions of gender and sexuality that were
previously underdeveloped. This collection examines these
possibilities insofar as they can either deepen or displace the
traditional centrality of psychoanalysis in matters sexual. The
authors come from a wide range of backgrounds and defend their
approaches to the problem of sexual difference in a variety of
idioms, drawing on key thinkers such as Lacan, Irigaray, Deleuze,
Foucault and Badiou. It is rare to come across these thinkers
together; but sex is too crucial a site for critical thought not to
mobilize every conceptual power available. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Angelaki: The Journal
of the Theoretical Humanities.
