The Bodies of Women: Ethics, Embodiment and Sexual Differences by Rosalyn Dipros

Description: The Bodies of Women by Rosalyn Diprose Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Diprose argues that the usual approaches to ethics perpetuate the mechanisms that subordinate women, and argues for a new ethics of sexual difference which better locates the mechanisms of discrimination and the means to subvert them. Publisher Description What sort of ethics do we need? Rosalyn Diprose argues that the usual approaches to ethics both perpetuate and remain blind to the mechanisms of the subordination of women. In "Bodies of Women: Ethics, Embodiment and Sexual Differences", she claims that injustice against women is found in the social discourses and practices which both evaluate and constitute their modes of embodiment as improper in relation to men. Diprose critically analyzes the attempts in both feminist and non-feminist ethics to recognize the role of sexual difference and the biomedical discourses whose descriptions mask a constitution and regulation of the "body". Her critiques draw on insights from Anglophone feminist theory and continental philosophy, and are supported by critical readings of Irigaray, Cornell and Fraser, Hegel, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Foucault. What emerges is a new ethics of sexual difference which not only better locates the mechanisms of discrimination but also provides the means to subvert them. Diprose is co-editor, with Robyn Ferrell, of "Cartographics: Poststructuralism and the Mapping of Bodies and Spaces".
