Throughout their conversation, Nancy and Goh engage with topics ranging from relation, penetration, and subjection to touch, erotics, and jouissance. They show how despite its entrenchment in social norms and centrality to our being-in-the-world, sex lacks a clearly defined essence. At the same time, they point to the potentiality of literature to inscribe the senses of sex. In so doing, Nancy and Goh prompt us to reconsider our relations with ourselves and others through sex in more sensitive, respectful, and humble ways without bracketing the troubling aspects of sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Luc Nancy (1940-2021) was Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Strasbourg and the author of numerous books, most recently \u003ci\u003eSexistence\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Irving Goh is President's Assistant Professor of Literature at the National University of Singapore and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Reject: Community, Politics, and Religion after the Subject\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eL'Existence Prépositionnelle\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Claire Colebrook is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Philosophy, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Pennsylvania State University.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42743719460927,"sku":"9781478014355","price":46.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5a2f735ceff189199c3285f1345ecb1b.webp?v=1765165794","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-deconstruction-of-sex-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
