Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal Feminism by Elizabeth Grosz

5.0

Being entirely enthralled by Spinoza and Deleuze, Grosz has been exactly the introduction to a monist feminism that I needed. This directly answers many of the questions I had about feminist theory in the language I hold most close to my nature.

In particular, I am fascinated by the mobius strip metaphor and the textualization and marking of the body as an explanation for how I think about bodies in an information science context. This is also a way to introduce potential geographers and socio-technical scholars to feminist developments of body. This would be very interesting to compare with Actor-Network Theorists.

I look forward to reading more of Grosz.
