Luce Irigaray  

Definition

  • French psychoanalyst and philosopher Luce Irigaray is a central theorist in debates that shape the contours of Western feminist theory, including essentialism/antiessentialism, poststructuralism, psychoanalytic feminism, and issues concerning the sex/gender system and corporeality raised by queer theory and feminist theories of the body. Irigaray's work emphasizes questions concerning relationships among language and bodies, specifically male and female bodies and masculine and feminine language.
