In This Sex Which Is Not One, Luce Irigaray elaborates on some of the major themes of Speculum of the Other Woman, her landmark work on the status of woman in Western philosophical discourse and in psychoanalytic theory. In eleven acute and widely ranging essays, Irigaray reconsiders the question of female sexuality in a variety of contexts that are relevant to current discussion of feminist theory and practice.
Among the topics she treats are the implications of the thought of Freud and Lacan for understanding womanhood and articulating a feminine discourse; classic views on the significance of the difference between male and female sex organs; and the experience of erotic pleasure in men and in women. She also takes up explicitly the question of economic exploitation of women; in an astute reading of Marx she shows that the subjection of woman has been institutionalized by her reduction to an object of economic exchange. Throughout Irigaray seeks to dispute and displace male-centered structures of language and thought through a challenging writing practice that takes a first step toward a woman's discourse, a discourse that would put an end to Western culture's enduring phallocentrism.
Making more direct and accessible the subversive challenge of Speculum of the Other Woman, this volume―skillfully translated by Catherine Porter (with Carolyn Burke)―will be essential reading for anyone seriously concerned with contemporary feminist issues.

This important new book creates new terms for thinking about gender and generational relationships. In so doing it recasts conventional understandings of the family as an institution for organizing labour and consumption.
Delphy and Leonard present their wide-ranging theoretical discussion alongside a comparative study of the family in urban and rural areas. Theoretical innovation is consistently matched by empirical analysis of the family in diverse settings.

"Billy è l'ultimo. E Billy Budd è una parabola. In questo discorso in forma di racconto (che, come è noto, fu redatto tra il 1886-1888 e il 1891, anno della morte dell'autore, e uscì nella prima edizione soltanto nel 1924) infatti Billy da vita alla figura angelicata di colui che sempre e comunque subisce e subirà il torto, l'ingiustizia, la prepotenza, l'illegalità (per dirla melvillianamente, le mire del maligno su questa terra). Pertanto Billy - che è una specie di 'umiliato e offeso' eroicizzato sorto dalla commistione di un Oliver Twist rimasto immune ai bassifondi e ormai giovanotto con un santo martire e con qualcosa del dostoevskiano 'idiota' principe Myskin - è anche il sacrificato per eccellenza, cioè, l'innocente, il puro." (dall'introduzione di Alessandro Ceni)

在这本《戏仿--古代现代与后现代》关于戏仿的权威著作中，作者玛格丽特·A.罗斯(MargaretA Rose)回顾并分析了古代至当代的戏仿理论和应用，进而采用新方法对戏仿的现代、晚期现代和后现代理论进行了分析与归类。该作者的早期著作《戏仿／元小说》颇具影响，提出戏仿作为双重赋码策略绝不止于嘲弄。她的近期著作《后一现代与后-工业：一项批评分析》则就后现代主义的文学概念和其他概念进行了批评性分析。在本《戏仿--古代现代与后现代》中她对1979年作品序言中提出的有关古代和现代戏仿的定义和用法进行了扩展和修正，增加了新的重要部分，即现代和后现代戏仿和拼贴的理论及用法，并讨论了20世纪各种理论家和作家的作品。
玛格丽特·A.罗斯编著的《戏仿--古代现代与后现代》共分四章分别是：第一章阐述戏仿在古代的含义，以及从古代故作严肃的小品剧和阿里斯托芬戏剧开始戏仿的基本结构和作用。第二章讨论有时容易与戏仿混淆的一些古代和现代术语，从戏谑与滑稽模仿，到拼贴及其相关形式，再到讽刺、反讽和元小说。第三章讨论了多种有影响力的现代和晚期现代理论及戏仿的应用，从俄国形式主义者和M. M．巴赫金的理论开始，过渡到接受理论者汉斯·罗伯特·姚斯和沃尔夫冈·伊塞尔对以上理论作出的扩展，再至结构主义者和后结构主义者对此问题提出的各种评论。第四章引言部分有关戏仿晚期现代和后现代的应用和概念，它以对近年来集中讨论的两类后现代差异的评论开始，对20世纪初到世纪末有关后现代的各种定义进行了概述。本书最后对以往的戏仿应用和理论进行了回顾和总结，对戏仿的未来提出了一些结论性的评论，书末是参考书目和索引。

In a scruffy park of a West European metropolis, a man in an ill-fitting trench coat is found hanging by the feet, half-dead. This is Abel Nema, the enigmatic yet fascinating protagonist of Terézia Mora’s internationally acclaimed novel, a linguistic phenomenon who can speak ten languages flawlessly but whose grip on reality is slowly slipping away. Since his self-imposed exile from his Balkan homeland ten years earlier, he has been making a life among fellow refugees: a group of bohemian jazz musicians, an eccentric student of ancient history, and a gang of young Gypsies. His acquaintances among the locals include a neighbor who claims to have visited heaven (and introduces Abel to hallucinogens), the sordid characters who frequent the neighborhood sex bar, and a wonderfully zany family he joins when, desperate to extend his residency permit, he enters into a fictive marriage. Yet through it all he remains strangely hollow: for all his languages he has little humanity to put into words. Day In Day Out , Terézia Mora’s fierce and beautiful debut novel, is at once an evocation of the newly multicultural Europe and an exploration of a deeply disturbed individual. It is a prose labyrinth of rare poetic force that marks its author as a major new voice in contemporary fiction.

Since the late 1980s, queer studies and theory have become vital to the intellectual and political life of the United States. This has been due, in no small degree, to the influence of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's critically acclaimed "Epistemology of the Closet". Working from classic texts of European and American writers - including Melville, James, Nietzsche, Proust, and Wilde -Sedgwick analyzes a turn-of-the-century historical moment in which sexual orientation became as important a demarcation of personhood as gender had been for centuries. In her preface to this updated edition Sedgwick places the book both personally and historically, looking specifically at the horror of the first wave of the AIDS epidemic and its influence on the text.

本书由两部小说组成，包括《无欲的悲歌》和《大黄蜂》。
《无欲的悲歌》是以一位51岁家庭妇女自杀的报纸报道开始的。叙述者“我”立刻要义不容辞地撰写自己母亲那“简单而明了的”故事。在对这个女人命运的回忆中，她那受制于社会角色和价值观念的生存轨迹自然而然地展现在读者眼前。母亲出生在一个天主教小农环境里，接受的是无欲望、秩序和忍受的道德教育，她最终依然无法逃脱社会角色和语言模式对自我生存的毁灭，于是自杀成为她无可选择的必然归宿。
作者以其巧妙的叙事结构和独具特色的叙事风格表现了母亲生与死的故事，其中蕴含着一种启人深思的愿望，一种值得向往的生存，一种无声质问社会暴力的叙述之声。
