In Retrieving Experience, Sonia Kruks engages critically with the
postmodern turn in feminist and social theory. She contends that,
although postmodern analyses yield important insights about the
place of discourse in constituting subjectivity, they lack the
ability to examine how experience often exceeds the limits of
discourse. To address this lack and explain why it matters for
feminist politics, Kruks retrieves and employs aspects of postwar
French existential theory a tradition that, she argues,
postmodernism has obscured by militantly rejecting its own
genealogy.Kruks seeks to refocus our attention on the importance
for feminism of embodied and "lived" experiences. Through her
original readings of Simone de Beauvoir and other existential
thinkers including Sartre, Fanon, and Merleau-Ponty and her own
analyses inspired by their work, Kruks sheds new light on central
problems in feminist theory and politics. These include debates
about subjectivity and individual agency; questions about
recognition and identity politics; and discussion of whether
embodied experiences may sometimes facilitate solidarity among
groups of different women."
