Kim flip the “materialist lesbianism” that Wittig’s collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eThe Straight Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, centres and describes as being the core of Wittig’s work to deal instead with “lesbian materialism,” thereby making \"lesbian\" the method and \"materialism\" the object, and allowing Wittig’s work to realise its full range. The volume re-interrogates the official historiography of French materialist feminism; expands the intellectual framework within which Wittig’s work is usually considered; insists on the language-centric materialism that emerges from Wittig’s writing as a way of joining the political with the literary; and attends to the way this literary material inspires material responses and creations within the plastic arts.  \n\nUnderlying the entire volume is a keen sense of the materiality of Wittig’s archives, housed at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, as a site of lesbian thought in Wittig’s radical sense of the term: a fugitive positionality.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464791113964,"sku":"9780300267358","price":131.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300267358-yale-french-studies-number-142.jpg?v=1775055355"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/series-yale-french-studies.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
