The Interpretation of the Flesh: Freud and Femininity Book

The Interpretation of the Flesh argues that the solution to Freud's ``riddle of femininity'' entails a different approach to mind and flesh, ideas and matter, from that traditionally mooted by Freudian studies. Teresa Brennan states that the riddle can only be solved once outdated assumptions of the dualism of mind versus body are discarded--and such assumptions can only be discarded by a theory that goes beyond biological reductionism. The Interpretation of the Flesh offers a new way of thinking about the relation between the psychical, the social, and the physical, pointing out that the real riddle of femininity is primarily a problem for women suffering from what Freud described as ``femininity's'' negative effects on curiosity, intelligence and activity.Read More
