مرآة المرأة الأخرى (Speculum. De l’autre femme)

مقدمة

Speculum de l’autre femme was Irigaray’s second doctoral thesis, published in Paris in 1974; after its appearance the Lacanian department of psychoanalysis at the University of Vincennes dismissed her from her teaching post. The book moves backwards through history: it begins with Freud’s lecture on femininity, passes through texts by philosophers and mystics from Plotinus to Hegel, and ends with a rereading of Plato’s cave as a womb (hystera). Irigaray argues that Western thought has defined woman only in relation to man – as his lack, his opposite or his mirror – so that a feminine subject has not yet been represented. The speculum of the title is both a concave mirror and a gynaecological instrument.
