Keller" <mlkeller-AT-mailbox.syr.edu> Subject: Re: contexts for French feminism For those of us who are mucking about in french-feminism but are still developing our "problems" and lines of argumentation as scholars, I think that Grosz does a great job of demonstrating the art of taking a line of argument and following it between the works of extremely difficult authors making clear what is at stake in their differences. Even if one disagrees with Grosz's reading, she has lucidly located her line of argument and so one can engage her argument. I'm sure that's why I suggested her when the question of french feminism was raised. I also wanted to say that I appreciate the caliber of scholars on the list such that others could more accurately provide references that better answered the original request. As Grosz moves toward and away from thinkers like Deleuze or fields like psychoanalysis I find her concerns to be refreshing, often iconoclastic, and even though she can sometimes move her arguments with generalizations, I still think she's a great resource for those who are in any way struggling with how to engage critically with the lingo of theory.
