Hélène Cixous's Poetics of Voice

Echo--Subjectivity--Diffraction

Herausgeber: Mulvey-Roberts, Marie; Gustar, Jennifer

Beschreibung

"Exploring the fiction of Hâeláene Cixous, this open access book highlights the ideas of selfhood and transcultural belonging in her works, demonstrating their vital relevance to decolonial paradigms and the Anthropocene era. Examining Cixous's connection with Algeria, it foregrounds her reflections on colonial, patriarchal and nationalist othering and how her writing takes Echo as a guiding mythology of diffractive selfhood. Using a notion of 'transcultural ec(h)ology', it examines how Cixous performs selfhood within ecologies of cohabitation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Utrecht University"--
