They have been especially fierce within feminism. After a brief flirtation with postmodern thinking in the 1980s, mainstream feminist circles seem to have turned their back on the staple notions of poststructuralist philosophy. \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e takes stock of the situation and attempts to reset priorities within the poststructuralist feminist agenda.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eCross-referring in a creative way to Deleuze's and Irigaray's respective philosophies of difference, the book addresses key notions such as embodiment, immanence, sexual difference, nomadism and the materiality of the subject. \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e also focuses on the implications of these theories for cultural criticism and a redefinition of politics. It provides a vivid overview of contemporary culture, with special emphasis on technology, the monstrous imaginary and the recurrent obsession with 'the flesh' in the age of techno-bodies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis highly original contribution to current debates is written for those who find changes and transformations challenging and necessary.
