Description
Summary:Departing from a relatively unknown narrative experiment by Hélène Cixous, Angst, this article aims to explore the peculiar application that this French feminist writer and critic makes of Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction within the field of sexual difference. Cixous invierts the patriarcal system of binary terms to favour, in turn, those elements associated with femininity. However, she ultimately aligns with what I have labelled «coalescence», or the fusion of libidinal forces, both masculine and feminine.
