- W878991390 abstract "ABSTRACT. The theory that I shall seek to elaborate here puts considerable emphasis on Wittig's understanding of lesbian, her literary and theoretical representations of lesbian passion, sexuality, and politics, and her urging on the vast capacity of becoming-other in the area of lesbian desire. The purpose of this article is to gain a deeper understanding of Wittig's use of inversion, her fluctuations on metamorphosis, and her positive evaluation of the natural world.Keywords: gender; sex; heterosexuality; lesbian; social; politics1. IntroductionThe paper generates insights about Wittig's account of sex as a fictive category, her intrinsic examination of the connection between the regime of heterosexuality and the categories of sex, her interest with feminism and anticolonial battles, and her substitution of phallogocentrism. Although researchers have discovered some important findings regarding Wittig's interest in social totalities, her mentions to working-class struggles (Nica, 2014b), and the totalizing urge in Wittig's writings, there is still a great deal that is unknown and that requires further empirical inquiry.2. Wittig's Call for Gender EradicationLes Guerilleres is a feminist revising of the paternal epic as typified by Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, establishing a gulf in the patriarchal diffusion and acknowledgement of the latter. Wittig reacts to the patriarchal transmission and reception of Homer's poems, challenges the position of the male-dominated view of the patriarchal epic, utilizes classical myth to express the interests and experiences of the female, and undertakes the world of myth and epic, handling and recreating an ancient text to disclose a female view. Wittig takes the conventional epic form and submitting it to a trenchant examination is bringing about a female epic that can further the improvement of an independent subjecthood, and restores the interpretation of female identity. Myth is influential in both the institution and questioning of entrenched ideologies and patterns. Wittig's female ancestry is inclusive and global. (Burke, 2010) Wittig's drastic lesbianization of the world releases the metaphoric energies in writing to undermine the aheady-written in the rule of phallologocentrism. Wittig questions for the lesbian subject overwhelming agencies and practices composing patriarchy, sexualizes as lesbian the setting of writing itself, and indicates how textual practice can depict an extremely new sexuality. Wittig imposes the limitation of the extensive employment of the neutral pronoun one, and the exclusive utilization of the present tense, will revive an obsolete or rare denomination concept to specify a new or found term, and displays an inter-species tendency for fantasized mating, erotic encounter, or social ritual. The engraving of desire flows subversively as a material interrupter through the established scope. Degradation and animal-becoming are a type of sovereignty intrinsic to life under regimes of persecution. Clearness, limpidity, and sanity are critical to literary practice. The forward slash splitting j/e permits boundless transformation for the incarnate lesbian subject. Les guerilleres employs the collective subject elles to specify evacuated psychological heroines. (Campbell, 2013) Wittig adopts lesbianism both as a sexual orientation and as a political attitude, identifies the area beyond sexual categories with the lesbian, and connects the concept of erection and the masculine portrayal of feminine difference as an oppressive result of phallic discourse. Wittig considers the practice of sex/gender detrimental to women in discourse, and uses the fictiveness of sex/gender to handle. Lesbianism is a direction out of the heterosexist constraint of women to an oppressed gender function. The lesbian is the only subject that can position beyond the category of sex. Whenever women speak, they undertake a linguistic sphere in which they are dispossessed of influence and command. …" @default.
