Envy by Patricia Ticineto Clough & Jane Gallop
Envy sparks the imagination towards shades of green, sinful deeds and wicked desires. But while the act of coveting is not unknown to men and women alike, stereotypically, the US mainstream conceives the notion of envy in relationship to women. This book tackles the genealogy of feminist thought and the aims of feminist cultural criticism.Envy, as one of the seven deadly sins, sparks the imagination towards shades of green, sinful deeds and wicked desires. But while the act of coveting is not unknown to men and women alike, stereotypically, the US mainstream conceives the notion of envy in relationship to women. Freud's idea of penis envy made envy feminine. New Wave feminists of the 1970's renegotiated women's envy as part of the concept of Sisterhood. Today, envy has been embedded in a large body of work focusing on emotions, ranging across disciplines from philosophy to neuroscience. With "Envy", "Women's Studies Quarterly" tackles the genealogy of feminist thought and the aims of contemporary feminist cultural criticism. |
