"The location of the author's investigations, the body itself rather than the sphere of subjective representations of self and of function in cultures, is wholly new...I believe this work will be a landmark in future feminist thinking". (Alphonso Lingis). "This is a text of rare erudition and intellectual force. It will not only introduce feminists to an enriching set of theoretical perspectives but sets a high critical standard for feminist dialogues on the status of the body". (Judith Butler). "Volatile Bodies" demonstrates that the sexually specific body is socially constructed: biology or nature is not opposed to or in conflict with culture. Human biology is inherently social and has no pure or natural 'origin' outside of culture. Being the raw material of social and cultural organization, it is 'incomplete' and thus subject to the endless rewriting and social inscription that constitute all sign systems. Examining the theories of Freud, Lacan, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, etc. on the subject of the body, Elizabeth Grosz concludes that the body they theorize is male. These thinkers are not providing an account of 'human' corporeality but of male corporeality. Grosz then turns to corporeal experiences unique to women - menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, menopause. Her examination of female experience lays the groundwork for developing theories of sexed corporeality rather than merely rectifying flawed models of male theorists.

框架看似很规整,有些地方还是没有解开说清,不过顺着各个条路去找东西还是挺方便的.

神奇,虽然副标题明确提到了女性主义,但内容上来说直接涉及到女性主义身体研究的地方却并不多,大概也就最后短短的一章是专门在谈女性的身体,而之前的内容都是在梳理弗洛伊德-梅洛庞蒂-尼采-福柯和这一条线索上的哲学家对身体的研究,而最后一章则主要在谈洁净与危险以及从克里斯蒂娃和一粒格里发散出去的东西。original的东西是没有的,但梳理性的东西是足够的,可以看完这一本再去读其他哲学家的原著。
