Sacrificial Logics by Allison Weir
This text proposes a concept of identity which depends on accepting difference. Through readings of Nancy Chodorow, Judith Rose and Julia Kristeva, the book analyzes the relation of theories of self-identity to theories of women's identity, social identity and feminist solidarity. Drawing particularly on the work of Julia Kristeva, the book argues for a reformulation of self-identity as a capacity to participate in a social world, and sketches a model of a self-identity which depends on a capacity to accept non-identity, difference and connections to others.-

"Weir's thesis is elegant and compelling. .what is fascinating is that we can easily extend Weir's insights to many other theorists who are equally afflicted with the desire to cling on to a sacrificial logic." -- Mechthild Nagel, Mankato State University
