Deconstructive Discourse and Sexual Politics: The "Feminine" and/in Masculine Self-Representation uri icon

abstract

  • Ever since Nietzsche, passing through every major European philosopher, the question of woman has accompanied the decline of the classical view of human subjectivity. The problematic of the" feminine" thus outlined is nothing more than a very elaborate metaphor, a symptom of the profound illness of Western culture and of its phallogocentric logic. It is a male disease, expressing the critical state of the post-modern condition.
