Description

Explore the complex relationship between embodiment and memory in Mourning Sex: Performing Public Memories. Published by Routledge, this work by Peggy Phelan examines the intense experiences of injured bodies and what sustained attention to the affective force of trauma can offer to critical theory. Through a method she calls performative writing, Phelan builds a connection between critical and creative thinking. This approach breaks down the barriers between art and theory, as well as the lines between fact and fiction. The text analyzes diverse subjects, including the representation of Christ in Caravaggio's painting The Incredulity of St Thomas, alongside the public instances involving Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas. This book serves as a profound study of how bodies and trauma function within public and theoretical spaces. It is a significant resource for those studying performing arts, theatre, and the intersection of art and critical thought.
