Question

This thinker posited a kind of jouissance that moves beyond the oculocentric and takes each figure back to its tactile source, called “disruptive excess.” This thinker’s concept of a society arranged around exchanges (-5[1])among men (10[1])is usually spelled with a second letter “m” in parentheses; that concept is “hom(m)osexuality.” (0[1])This thinker read Plato’s Allegory of the Cave as an escape from the womb to be born, in a work that rejects the phallocentric flat (15[1]-5[1])mirror view of Freud (15[1])in favor of the title (*) concave mirror view. This thinker was (-5[1])expelled from Lacan’s École freudienne for writing that work, Speculum of (10[1])the Other Woman. (10[2])In another work, this thinker suggested that rigid mechanics is privileged over fluid mechanics, because the former is masculine and the latter feminine. For 10 points, name this author of The Sex Which is Not One, a Belgian-born feminist theorist who suggested that “E equals mc squared” might be a “sexed equation.” ■END■ (10[2])
