Sorry for inundating the lists. If you are in the New York area, you are cordially invited to hear Drucilla Cornell (Rutgers) and Claudia Baracchi (Milan) respond to my new book, The Feminine Symptom: Aleatory Matter in the Aristotelian Cosmos. Tuesday November 18, 6:00-8:00 pm 20 Cooper Square, 5th Floor New York, NY 10003 Emanuela Bianchi’s new book explores how Aristotle's ideas about sex and gender in his biological writings permeate his physics, metaphysics, and cosmology, and argues that the traditional understanding of the female as allied with passive matter should be supplanted by an understanding of the feminine as what disrupts the teleological system. The analysis connects with recent biological and materialist political thinking, and makes the case for a new, antiessentialist politics of aleatory feminism.
