Informing the author's interpretations are the ideas of French theorists Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva, as well as American feminists Kelly Oliver and Jessica Benjamin.Marie CarriFre explores the unfolding, complex questions of sexual difference, female subjectivity, and mother-daughter relations. She also uncovers and examines the occasional breakdown of the feminist ethics postulated by Nicole Brossard, France Theoret, Di Brandt, Erin MourT, and Lola Lemire Tostevin. CarriFre views these instances of deviation not as a failure of writing in the feminine, but as an inevitability in the relatively new intellectual terrain of feminist ethics. Writing in the Feminine will be of great interest to scholars of literary theory, women's studies, and Canadian literature in French and English. As a challenging study of the connections between gender and authorship, it will also appeal to those who have a particular interest in women's literature. 606 $aCanadian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCanadian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 676 $a810.9/9287/09710904 700 $aCarriere$b Marie, $01055092 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456436403321 996 $aWriting in the Feminine in French and English Canada$92488225 997 $aUNINA
