Beauvoir x Reworking x Symbol of

Hi everyone. Sorry for missing the seminar on Friday, got my wisdom teeth pulled (still a little bruised today). Just finished up The Second Sex. I found the way that Beauvoir reworks psychoanalysis really insightful. Even the form/style which she … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Attempting […] Continue reading →

Thoughts on feminism, identity and culture

First of all, my sincerest apologies for the lateness of this post. 1. Wollstonecraft As likely evidenced in seminar I am a big fan of Vindications and of Mary W. In part due to her husband’s unflattering posthumous memoire, W’s … Continue reading → Continue reading →
