Description

Mourning Sex explores the profound relationship between embodiment, trauma, and public memory through a distinctive fusion of critical theory and creative writing. Peggy Phelan examines injured bodies across cultural and political contexts, from Caravaggio's religious paintings to high-profile legal proceedings, demonstrating how sustained attention to trauma's affective force can reshape critical thought. Published by Routledge, this groundbreaking work blurs the boundaries between art and theory, fact and fiction, introducing what Phelan calls performative writing as a method for understanding how bodies bear witness to collective loss and meaning-making. The book challenges conventional academic discourse by integrating philosophical inquiry with creative practice, offering scholars, students, and readers of performance theory, cultural studies, and contemporary art history new frameworks for interpreting embodied experience and public witnessing.

Key Features

Introduces performative writing as a methodology that dissolves conventional boundaries between art practice and theoretical discourse.
