In this new book, crucial for understanding her journey, Luce
Irigaray goes further than in Speculum and questions the work of
the Pre-Socratics at the root of our culture. Reminding us of the
story of Ulysses and Antigone, she demonstrates how, from the
beginning, Western tradition represents an exile for humanity.
Indeed, to emerge from the maternal origin, man elaborated a
discourse of mastery and constructed a world of his own that grew
away from life and prevented perceiving the real as it is. To
recover our natural belonging and learn how to cultivate it humanly
is imperative and needs turning back before the golden age of Greek
culture. Another language is, then, to discover, capable of
expressing living energy and transforming our instincts into
shareable desires. In the Beginning, She Was reworks themes that
are central to Irigaray's thought: the limits of Western logic, the
sexuation of discourse, the existence of two different subjects,
the necessity of art as mediation towards another culture. These
themes are approached with a new level of maturity that reconfirms
the place of Irigaray as one of the world's most important
contemporary thinkers.
