Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Almost done with my paper. I think I'm beginning to understand Derrida. Couldn't have done it without looking at his work by way of Cixous (Thank you, Cixous, for writing The Newly Born Woman and defining bisexuality in a way that parallels Derrida's differance so closely).
For those wondering, Cixous' bisexuality is the acceptance of the inner other - of the feminine within the masculine and the masculine within the feminine - as opposed to Freudian bisexuality, which really negates the sexes in combining them.
