Diotima at the Barricades argues that the debates that emerged from
the burgeoning of feminist intellectual life in post-modern France
involved complex, structured, and reciprocal exchanges on the
interpretation and position of Plato and other ancient texts in the
western philosophical and literary tradition. Paul Allen Miller
shows how individual works of Anglo-American figures such as Toril
Moi, Judith Butler, and Kaja Silverman, as well as movements such
as queer theory, are rooted in feminist theoretical debates that
began in the sixties in France and have continued right up to the
present day. Miller demonstrates that French philosophy as
represented by writers as diverse as Julia Kristeva, Helene Cixous,
Sarah Kofman, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, and Luce Irigaray
have had a profound influence on literary, theoretical, and
cultural studies in the Anglo-American world. He reveals that in
order to understand the intellectual substructure of much of later
Anglo-American critical theory, it is crucial to examine the
development of post-modern French feminist thought in relation to
its dialogue with antiquity. In modern feminism and
post-structuralism, the ancient world, and Plato in particular,
truly function as our theoretical unconscious.
