Sarah Kofman's Corpus (Suny Series in Gender Theory)

This groundbreaking collection sketches a portrait of Sarah Kofman (1934 1994), the brilliant French feminist philosopher and author of more than two dozen books on an impressive range of topics and figures in philosophy, literature, psychoanalysis, aesthetics, and feminism. Leading feminist philosophers examine the lessons that Kofman s rich body of work teaches us, among them that the work and life of a thinker are inextricably bound together. Each essay navigates the complex connections between work and life, thought and desire, the book and the body to explore the central themes that link together Kofman s interdisciplinary oeuvre art, affirmation, laughter, the intolerable, Jewishness, and femininity."
