Autrice: Rita Monticelli

The body as a source of subjectivity is one of the central political and poetical spaces that women’s and gender studies have reclaimed against patriarchal and metaphysical traditions.
The volume explores the heterogeneity and the continuities in women’s thought and literature through the dialogue between different theories and narratives which, while rewriting the body and sexuality, also foreground the act of writing as an artistic, political and poetical act. The Politics of the Body in Women’s Literatures shows that the search for body deconstruction and reconstruction was, and is, not only a theoretical priority: for women writers, such a search was, and is, one of the main sources of writing and artistic creativity, both before and during the process of theorisation of the body and subjectivity.
