To Speak is Never Neutral

To Speak is Never Neutral presents a vital selection of the range of Luce Irigaray's writings, revealing the origin and development of many ideas central to her thought. The earliest essays included here reveal Irigaray's debt to structural linguistics and deconstruction drawn from her initial studies in the language of schizophrenia. The later essays present Irigaray's highly original explorations of psychoanalysis and language.
