Pleasure Erased: The Clitoris Unthought by Catherine Malabou Hardcover Book

Description: Pleasure Erased by Catherine Malabou, Carolyn Shread Originally published as: Le plaisir effacâe: clitoris et pensâee. Paris: âEditions Payot & Rivages, [2020] FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The clitoris was absent in anatomy books, in paintings and sculptures, absent in spirit and even body; it has long been the organ of erased pleasure. We assume that this oversight has been repaired in our times: today, the clitoris is not forgotten but honoured. Conferences, books, manifestos, works of art are all devoted to it. The autonomy of clitoral jouissance is recognized. The boundaries of feminism have also moved: queer, intersex and trans approaches claim that the clitoris is perhaps no longer the exclusive preserve of the woman. And yet, there remains a wounded space. Because genital mutilation is still common practice. Because millions of women are still denied pleasure. The clitoris continues to mark the enigmatic space of the feminine. Constrained by the extreme difficulty and the extreme urgency of returning to this scorched earth, it is time to give voice to an organ of pleasure which has still not become an organ of thought.

Clitoris, Anarchy and the Feminine Notes Review "A project whose glaring absence has been hiding in plain sight, clitoral pleasure has finally found its philosopher. Malabou tells us what we can do with our clitoral brain, uncloaking its agency and anarchic politics. Essential reading for anyone interested in interpreting sex otherwise than phallic and in relation to philosophys power to shape the soma."Emily Apter, New York University Details ISBN1509549927 Pages 150 Year 2022 Translator Carolyn Shread ISBN-10 1509549927 ISBN-13 9781509549924 Format Hardcover Imprint Polity Press Place of Publication Oxford Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2022-07-07 Publication Date 2022-07-07 UK Release Date 2022-07-07 Subtitle The Clitoris Unthought Author Carolyn Shread Publisher John Wiley and Sons Ltd Alternative 9781509549931 DEWEY 306.7082 Audience Professional & Vocational AU Release Date 2022-07-06 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
