To Speak is Never Neutral by Luce Irigaray
Contributing to our understanding of how scientific language functions., Luce Irigaray aims to dispel notion that scientific language is objective, unveiling the gendered - and, crucially, the prejudicial - dimensions of a range of psychoanalytic discourses. This selection of the range of Luce Irigaray's writings reveals the origin and development of many ideas central to her thought. The earliest essays included here reveal Irigaray's debt to structural linguistics and deconstruction drawn from her initial studies in the language of schizophrenia. The later essays present Irigaray's explorations of psychoanalysis and language.
"To Speak is Never Neutral is a most important and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of how scientific language functionsDispelling once and for all the notion that scientific language is objective, Luce Irigaray unveils the gendered - and, crucially, the prejudicial - dimensions of a range of psychoanalytic discourses. Challenging and provocative, this book is also a significant ethical intervention into debates both about how we speak today and about how content itself is never neutral." - Michael Worton, University College London
