Resumo(s)
Drawing heavily on the work of classicist Page duBois, which eloquently explains
the emergence, in ancient Greece, of hierarchy and of what is still understood
today as the great chain of being (scala naturae: male, female, slave, barbarian,
animal), this paper analyzes the age-old negative conotations of the concept of
difference in western culture, considers the reinvention of difference as “positive”
by Rosi Braidotti (after Deleuze & Guattari), and reassesses the efforts of several
other feminist philosophers (e.g. Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, Gayatry Spivak,
Drucilla Cornell) to counter Lacan on the impossibility of “speaking women”
beyond the dominant (male) philosophical discourse. Or, to paraphrase Marie
Cardinal, their efforts to find “les mots pour le dire”.
