Mimetic Inclinations: An Introduction
status: Published online
Inclining Mimesis: Continuing the Dialogue with Adriana Cavarero
In this article, Adriana Cavarero and Nidesh Lawtoo resume a dialogue on mimetic inclinations in view of furthering a relational, embodied and affective conception of subjectivity that challenges homo erectus from the immanent perspective of homo mimeticus. If a dominant philosophical tradition tends to restrict mimesis to an illusory representation of reality, Plato was the first to know that mimesis also operates as an affective force, or patho…
Inclinations: A Critique of Rectitude
Cavarero refutes a long-standing set of assumptions in moral philosophy by contesting the classical figure of the homo erectus or 'upright man,' and by proposing a feminist, altruistic, open model of the subject–one inclined toward others

Italo Calvino y el oído del Rey /traducción de Humberto Giannini
Un análisis de la narración Un re in ascolto que deja ver una fundamental intuición antifilosófica del autor: estimulado por la falsedad constitutiva de los discursos políticos, el soberano todo-oídos, al contrario de lo que hace siglos la filosofía, dejando de lado lo semántico, concentra su atención en la vocalidad
Inclinations: A Critique of Rectitude
Violent Female Bodies: Questioning Thanatopolitics
Narrative Against Destruction
Hannah Arendt’s vision of the constitutive link between stories and history, which she attributes to Homeric poetics, works as a response to the totalitarian will to eliminate life stories along with lives themselves. Arendt’s conception of narrative calls on both the necessity to narrate the lives lost in the horror of the Shoah and the need to tell them, so that the storybook of mankind recovers a meaning. W. G. Sebald’s creative prose—assembli…

Beyond Ontology and Sexual Difference: An Interview with the Italian Feminist Philosopher Adriana Cavarero
This interview with the Italian feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero situates Cavarero's thought among the philosophical positions of such thinkers as Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, and Hannah Arendt, as well as engaging the feminist theory of Judith Butler. While addressing such topics as globalization, terrorism, violence, and vulnerability, the question of ontology is central to the …

For More than One Voice: Toward a Philosophy of Vocal Expression
The human voice does not deceive. The one who is speaking is inevitably revealed by the singular sound of her voice, no matter "what" she says. We take this fact for granted—for example, every time someone asks, over the telephone, "Who is speaking?" and receives as a reply the familiar utterance, "It's me." Starting from the given uniqueness of every voice, Cavarero rereads the history of philosophy through its peculiar evasion of this embodied …

The Envied Muse: Plato versus Homer
In Republic 607a Plato states that there is no place for sweet lyric or the epic Muse in the ideal city. It is philosophical logos that must rule in the city, not the passions that poets solicit from their audience. In the Republic Plato’s famous hostility towards the poets resembles a competition between philosophy and poetry. Plato wants, among other things, to replace Homer as the educator of Greece. The terms of this competition are inscribed…
Stately Bodies: Literature, Philosophy, and the Question of Gender
Politicizing Theory
Postmodern and Political Theory in a New Context
With respect to these questions of Hallamaa I would like to make three concluding remarks: firstly, there are other evaluative and normative aspects than moral ones; secondly, the description of a given moral practice isn't by itself a moral argument
In spite of Plato: A Feminist Rewriting of Ancient Philosophy
This pathbreaking work pursues two interwoven themes. Firstly, it engages in a deconstruction of Ancient philosopher's texts--mainly from Plato, but also from Homer and Parmenides--in order to free four Greek female figures from the patriarchal discourse which for centuries had imprisoned them in a particular role. Secondly, it attempts to construct a symbolic female order, reinterpreting these figures from a new perspective. Building on the theo…
