A Feminist Mythology

Autor Chiara Bottici
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 oct 2021
A Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the canonical myths of femininity, testing them from the point of view of our modern condition. A myth is not an object, but rather a process, one that Chiara Bottici practises by exploring different variants of the myth of "womanhood" through first- and third-person prose and poetry. We follow a series of myths that morph into each other, disclosing ways of being woman that question inherited patriarchal orders. In this metamorphic world, story-telling is not just a mix of narrative, philosophical dialogues and metaphysical theorizing: it is a current that traverses all of them by overflowing the boundaries it encounters. In doing so, A Feminist Mythology proposes an alternative writing style that recovers ancient philosophical and literary traditions from the pre-Socratic philosophers and Ovid's Metamorphoses to the philosophical novellas and feminist experimental writings of the last century.

Recenzii

A fascinating investigation of the feminine as myth or mythmaking process. By brilliantly exploring, recombining and embroidering different variants of the "womanhood" mythologem, Chiara Bottici's book succeeds in confronting traditional frames of interpretations in order to provide an "imaginal philosophy" and an "imaginal feminism" constructed as speculative spaces where something new can happen.
If Danto warned against the risks of expressive reduction, inherent in the attempt to restrict philosophy to the sole genre of professional paper, Bottici's A Feminist Mythology has above all the merit of highlighting the strength of a creative narration, which has its roots in her previous philosophical research.
