10/24

I think what is present in all of the authors' work is to rethink what has been thought of the sexuality, the gap between men and women. Irigaray explains this in a rather obscure terms, using the concepts of space and time, and then "the transition to a new age conincides with a change in the economy of desire, necessitating a different relationship between man and god, man and man, man and the world, man and woman." What I think this means is that, since the sexual difference existed since the beginning of the world, rethinking the relationship between different sexes is to redefine the relationship between things that are radically different and opposite, otherwise limiting this process only to the relationship of men and women would be merely an "exception".
