Recenzii

" ... innovative in its ambitious attempt to bring neurology into theory on the body."--Feminism & Psychology, 15(3) 2005 "Elizabeth Wilson ... shows how neuroscience research on creatures evolutionarily very distant from us still persistently raises questions pertinent to our own sense of self."--Brain, 2005, 128 "It is quite a while since we have heard a voice as refreshing as that of Elizabeth Wilson. With boldness, wit, and extraordinary inventiveness, she shows us just how delimiting have been prevailing tendencies in science studies and feminist theory to marginalize, if not outright repudiate, the material, biological dimensions of human psychology. At the same time, by demonstrating the power of reading biological accounts with the eye of a critical theorist, she reveals the limitations operating within the life sciences. Psychosomatic teaches all of us how to do better: how to read neuroscience for the liberatory and creative lessons it can offer the human sciences and how to employ the insights of the human sciences to open these same texts to dramatically new understandings."--Evelyn Fox Keller, author of Making Sense of Life: Explaing Biological Developments with Models, Metaphors and Machines
