Description
Elizabeth Grosz both celebrates and resituates the body in the space between feminism and philosophy, feminism and cultural analysis, femism and critical thought. Exploring architecture, philosophy, and, in a controversial way, queer theory, Elizabeth Grosz shows how these knowledges have stripped bodies of their specificity, their corporeality, and the vestigial traces of their production as bodies. She investigates the work of Michel Foucault, Teresa de Lauretis, Gilles Deleuze, Judith Butler and Alphonso Lingis, examining the ways in which the functioning of bodies transforms understandings of space and time, knowledge and desire.
