Denise Riley Libros
Denise Riley es una poeta y filósofa inglesa cuya obra destaca por su paradójica interrogación de la subjetividad dentro del modo lírico. Sus escritos críticos sobre la maternidad, las mujeres en la historia, la "identidad" y la filosofía del lenguaje son reconocidos como una importante contribución al feminismo y a la filosofía contemporánea. Riley se centra en la voz única y el significado literario, ofreciendo a los lectores una perspectiva distintiva sobre lo que es esencial en la vida y la literatura.

Writing about changes in the notion of womanhood, Denise Riley examines, in the manner of Foucault, shifting historical constructions of the category of "women" in relation to other categories central to concepts of personhood: the soul, the mind, the body, nature, the social. Feminist movements, Riley argues, have had no choice but to play out this indeterminacy of women. This is made plain in their oscillations, since the 1790s, between concepts of equality and of difference. To fully recognize the ambiguity of the category of "women" is, she contends, a necessary condition for an effective feminist political philosophy.
