Recent inquiries into the concept of the gift have been largely
male-dominated and thus have ignored important aspects of the gift
from a woman s point of view. In the light of philosophical work by
Mauss, Levi-Strauss, Derrida, and Bataille, Women and the Gift
reflects how women respond to the notion of the gift and
relationships of giving. This collection evaluates and critiques
previous work on the gift and also responds to how women view care,
fidelity, generosity, trust, and independence in light of the
gift."
The Subject of Love: Helene Cixous and the Feminine Divine is about
abundant, generous, other-regarding love. In the history of Western
ideas of love, such a configuration has been inseparable from our
ideas about divinity and the sacred; often reserved only for God;
and rarely thought of as a human achievement. This book is a
substantial engagement with her philosophies of love, inviting the
reader to reflect on the conditions of subjectivity that just might
open us to something like a divine love of the other. Renshaw
follows this thread in this genealogy of abundant love: the thread
that connects the subject of love from 5th century B.C.E. Greece
and Plato, to the 20th century protestant theology of agapic love
of Anders Nygren, to the late 20th century poetico-philosophy of
Helene Cixous. This study will be of particular interest to
academics and students of the history of gender, cultural studies,
criticism and gender studies -- .
