L U C E I R I G A R A Y LIPS, KISSING AND THE POLITICS OF SEXUAL
DIFFERENCE
An exploration of the often controversial French thinker and
feminist Luce Irigaray. Kelly Ives discusses Luce Irigaray's
relation with Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan,
and other feminists. Irigaray's provocative notions include: labial
lips embracing; sexual difference; the speculum; 'sexuate rights'
and sexual ethics; women's language and power; angels; and female
mystics.
Luce Irigaray was born May 3, 1932 in Belgium (some sources say
1930). She studied at the University of Louvain; she worked on a
master's degree in psychology at the University of Paris (1959-62);
and at the Institut de Psychologie de Paris (1962). From 1962-64
she worked at the Foundation Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique
in Belgium, and then at the Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique in Pars, where she eventually became Director of
Research. She produced a doctoral degree in linguistics (University
of Paris X at Nanterre, 1968), and in philosophy (University of
Paris VIII, 1974). Irigaray was, famously, a member of the Ecole
Freudienne, presided over by Jacques Lacan. Irigaray's second
dissertation (Speculum de l'autre femme) created some controversy
among the members of the Freudian School, and Irigaray became an
outcast from the Ecole Freudienne. This was a key setback in her
academic career.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Luce Irigaray taught at Rotterdam,
Bologna, Toronto and Paris, among other places. With books such as
Ce Sexe qui n'en est pas un, Et l'une ne bouge pas sans l'autre,
Amante Marine: De Friedrich Nietzsche, Sexes et parentes, Sexes et
genres a travers les langues and Le Oubli de l'air: Chez Martin
Heidegger, Irigaray became a major international philosopher.
