Description
A groundbreaking volume introduces the unique feminist thought of the longstanding Italian group known as DiotimaA Introducing Anglophone readers to a potent strain of Italian feminism known to French, Spanish, and German audiences but as yet unavailable in English, Another Mother argues that the question of the mother is essential to comprehend the matrix of contemporary culture and society and to pursue feminist political projects.A Focusing on Diotima, a community of women philosophers deeply involved in feminist politics since the 1960s, this volume provides a multifaceted panorama of its engagement with currents of thought including structuralism, psychoanalysis, linguistics, and Marxism. Starting from the simple insight that the mother is the one who gives us both life and language, these thinkers develop concepts of the mother and sexual difference in contemporary society that differ in crucial ways from both French and U.S. feminisms.A Arguing that Diotima anticipates many of the themes in contemporary philosophical discourses of biopoliticsâ?"exemplified by thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri, and Roberto Espositoâ?"Another Mother opens an important space for reflections on the past history of feminism and on feminismâ?Ts future.A Contributors: Anne Emmanuelle Berger, Paris 8 Uâ?"Vincennes Saint-Denis; Ida Dominijanni; Luisa Muraro; Diana Sartori, U of Verona; Chiara Zamboni, U of Verona.
