Following a long tradition of objectification, 20th-century French feminism often sought to liberate the female body from the confines of patriarchal logos and to inscribe its rhythms in writing. Amaleena Damlé addresses questions of bodies, boundaries and philosophical discourses by exploring the intersections between a range of contemporary philosophers and authors on the subject of contemporary female corporeality and transformation.
Amaleena Damlé is Assistant Professor in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, Durham University. She is a specialist in 20th and 21st century French philosophy and literature, with a particular interest in identity, the body, gender and sexuality. She is the author of several articles on contemporary women’s writing in French, and the co-editor (with Gill Rye) of Women’s Writing in Twenty-First-Century France (2013), Experiment and Experience (2013) and, with Aurélie L’Hostis, The Beautiful and the Monstrous (2010).
