From: ikantola-AT-utu.fi Subject: Woman's pleasure Date: Fri, 27 Oct 1995 14:59:47 +0200 Dear listmembers Having liked very much the discussion in this list I quite recently realized that the project of ff has a clear connection also to the field of deconstructive sociology (a new academic variety to me although I am a sociologist). In her wonderful book (Undoing the Social - towards a deconstructive sociology. Open Univ. Press 1991) Ann Game interpretes Irigaray and other ff as pointing towards the potentials of _woman's pleasure_ for critique of and opposition to social power in the form of (male) rationality and (male) dominance. For me Ann Game's argumentation is very convincing. I'd be interested to hear if anybody has read Ann Game's rereadings of ff? Sincerely Ismo Kantola Inst. Sociology Univ.
