H?l?ne Cixous is more than an influential theorist. She is also
a groundbreaking author and playwright. Combining an idiosyncratic
mix of autobiographical and fictional narrative with a host of
philosophical and poetic observations, Cixous's writing matches the
kaleidoscopic nature of her thought, offering new ways of
conceptualizing sex, relationships, identity, and the self, among
other topics.
Yet, as Jacques Derrida once observed, a "profound
misunderstanding" hangs over the accomplishments of Cixous, with
many believing the intellectual excelled only at theoretical
exploration. Providing a truly liberal selection of her writings
from throughout her career, Marta Segarra rediscovers Cixous's acts
of invention for a new generation to enjoy. Divided into thematic
concerns, these works fully capture Cixous's genius for merging
fiction, theory, and the experience of living. They discuss
dreaming in the feminine, Algeria and Germany, love and the other,
the animal, Derrida, and the theater. They defy classification,
locking literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis into thrilling
new patterns of engagement. Whether readers are familiar with
Cixous or are approaching her thought for the first time, all will
find fresh perspectives on gender, fiction, drama, philosophy,
religion, and the postcolonial.
