Laughing with Medusa explores a series of interlinking questions,
including: Does history's self-positioning as the successor of myth
result in the exclusion of alternative narratives of the past? How
does feminism exclude itself from certain historical discourses?
Why has psychoanalysis placed myth at the centre of its
explorations of the modern subject? Why are the Muses feminine? Do
the categories of myth and politics intersect or are they mutually
exclusive? Does feminism's recourse to myth offer a script of
resistance or commit it to an ineffective utopianism? Covering a
wide range of subject areas including poetry, philosophy, science,
history, and psychoanalysis as well as classics, this book engages
with these questions from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. It
includes a specially commisssioned work of fiction, Iphigeneia's
Wedding', by the poet Elizabeth Cook.
