Vol. 13 No. 1 (2019): Luce Irigaray’s Philosophy. Presentations: Anna Kańtoch

In the main section, we publish essays on the philosophy of the French thinker Luce Irigaray. Among a number of topics, the contributors address: the subversive meanings of virginity; the philosopher’s connections with Italian feminist movements; the work of gender difference; and feminine confessional accounts. The section is completed by a conversation between Katarzyna Szopa and Luce Irigaray, author of “The Bodily Encounter with the Mother”, as well as two texts by Irigaray which appear in Poland for the first time: “There Can Be No Democracy Without a Culture of Difference” and “How Sexuate Difference Can Rescue Our World”. The “Presentations” section is wholly dedicated to the work of Anna Kańtoch, an author who specialises in genre fiction. We publish an excerpt from her latest novel alongside essays discussing her literary output to date. The issue is completed by the “Discussions and Polemics” and “Varia” sections.
