%0 Journal Article %T The Symbolic Independence From Power %A Luisa Muraro %J Cosmos and History : the Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy %D 2009 %I Cosmos and History Publishing Co-op. %X Muraro¡¯s article begins from the philosophical question of the ¡®unthought¡¯, and asks how our very image of thought is transformed when the thinking subject is a woman, and her thought is specifically linked to the experience of a body. On the basis of a feminist interrogation of sexual difference which reveals the forms of violence inherent in certain claims to universality, Muraro tries to develop a thinking of politics which would rest on its symbolic distance or independence from power. Through readings of Freud, Macbeth, Saint Paul and women¡¯s narratives, Muraro investigates the dangers borne by the fusion of power and politics and explores the ways in which they could be disjoined. %K Arendt %K Feminism %K Freud %K Lonzi %K Politics %K Power %K Saint Paul %K Shakespeare %U http://www.cosmosandhistory.org/index.php/journal/article/view/126
