Thinking Fragments: Psychoanalysis, Feminism, and Postmodernism in the Contemporary West
"Thinking Fragmentsadvances theoretical dialogue across a number of difficult borders. Of special importance is its sustained interrogation of postmodern and psychoanalytic theory from the perspective of feminist theory. Flax's text helps to bridge the gap between postmodern and feminist theory, a gap which is largely the result of male theorists' failing to pay attention to feminist currents."--Christine Di Stefano, University of Washington"Flax's long-awaited book is even better than I thought it would be. There are few scholars--if any--who could bring such a comprehensive, rich, and both appreciative and critical perspective to psychoanalysis, feminist theory, and postmodernist philosophy. Her even-handed attitude toward all three--and the balanced scholarly and practical background she brings to her analysis--is just about unique."--Sandra Harding, University of Delaware
