The Test Drive
Author: Avital Ronell
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252092309
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
The Test Drive deals with the war perpetrated by highly determined reactionary forces on science and research. How does the government at once promote and prohibit scientific testing and undercut the importance of experimentation? To what extent is testing at the forefront of theoretical and practical concerns today? Addressed to those who are left stranded by speculative thinking and unhinged by cognitive discourse, The Test Drive points to a toxic residue of uninterrogated questions raised by Nietzsche, Husserl and Derrida. Ranging from the scientific probe to modalities of testing that include the limits of friendship or love, this work explores the crucial operations of an uncontestable legitimating machine. Avital Ronell offers a tour-de-force reading of legal, pharmaceutical, artistic, scientific, Zen, and historical grids that depend upon different types of testability, involving among other issues what it means to put oneself to the test.

Contemporary Cheerharan -Women fighting Indignity and Injustice
Author: Maitridevi Sisodia
Publisher: Leadstart Publishing Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 9354583679
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
The idea of this anthology was born out of a simple conversation between us authors, as we were sharing our angst about the plight of women and the countless issues faced by them. We decided we wanted to express our infuriation with words, without sugar-coating anything and expressing reality as it really is - partly from experience and partly from observation. This is a collection of works comprising poetry, essays, short stories, diary entries, epigrams, open letters written by the co-authors. A shloka in Sanskrit states that – “Yatra Nariyastu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devta”, which means that the Lord resides in the land where women are worshipped. For all our lofty cultural ideals, the reality is pitiful. Gender bias and sexual harassment largely plague the lives of most women, holding them back. In this book, there are various emotional accounts based on some real stories, illustrating the hardships that are the unfortunate reality faced by thousands of women - be it dowry, domestic violence, acid attacks, forced prostitution, or rape. In our book, you won’t simply find short stories or straightforward open letters; we are here to represent our voice using art & literature in the hope that our country has eyes to gawk the reality. We are here to enunciate. We hope to throw light upon these issues, so we can all collectively agitate to change this repulsive culture of wronging women, which has set in like an indelible stain on our social fabric. We deserve better; we can do better; and, we must do better. Our society can only flourish when it is fair to all. This book is a clarion call to voice our concerns, fears, and desires altogether for an India which is free from gender bias, where women do not have to settle for feeling unsafe as a way of life, where women have equal access to opportunities, where women aren’t held back by fences, barriers, and ceilings at every stage.

Nothing Mat(t)ers
Author: Somer Brodribb
Publisher: James Lorimer & Company
ISBN: 9781550284102
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Nothing Mat(t)ers is a feminist critique of the theories of Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan, among others. Somer Brodribb analyzes the texts and the arguments that post-structuralism has nominated as central, in the process exposing the misogyny at their core. Brodribb provides a history of definitions of structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, and postmodernism. She considers feminist encounters with structuralism and existentialism. She evaluates the originality of Foucault's contributions and discusses feminist responses to his work. Turning to Derrida, she considers his fixation with dissemination and demeaning versus conception and new embodiment. She contrasts the work of Lacan and Irigaray on ethics before turning to the work of de Beauvoir, O'Brien, and other feminists as an authentic alternative to postmodern critical theory.
