What is The becoming of the body : contemporary women's writing in French about?
## A critical investigation of contemporary statements of the female body in French literature and philosophy 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. ## Key Features * Analyses a range of texts by Amélie Nothomb, Ananda Devi, Marie Darrieussecq and Nina Bouraoui * Investigates key concepts in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, contemporary feminism, postfeminism, queer theory and postcolonial studies * Offers a new, rhizomatic approach to the analysis of the female body and transformation in contemporary women’s writing in French ## Find Out More * **[Read an interview between __Crosscurrents__ series editor Chris Watkin and Amaleena Damlé about __The Becoming of the Body__](http://christopherwatkin.com/2014/04/10/interview-with-amaleena-damle-about-her-recently-publishe
