Agir-femme/parler-femme: About Language and by Language of Sexual Diference

Summary/Abstract: Relying on philosophical heritage lef by Luce Irigaray in her book Ethics of sexual diference, and trying to connect her thought to the contemporary state of feminist theory and practice in our country, with an emphasis on problems that arise in dealing with totalizing thinking, in this paper I will try to explain what language of sexual diference means and why it is important to open, establish and maintain female identity in a language that is not neutral and which does not reduce. By representing the thesis about the possibility, that is, of the necessity of creation and use of language that would ultimately respond to the supremacy of philosophical logos and its universalization, which, by its implicit axiomatic mechanisms, tries to reduce all otherness and all others to itself (or to “the economy of the same”), I will try to consider the way by which it can/must be invited a diferent text, a new addressing that would indicate the neutralization of sexual diference in history, transformed the question of the other into question of sexed other, and through that gest erased philosophical-ethical injustice, breaking with tradition and traded logocentric language and thinking. Finally, in this paper I am considering the necessity of identifying female acting and female speech, i.e. their inextricability, especially in the context of the problems that feminist theory and practice encounter every day in our society/societies, and I am pointing to the traps that patriarchy sets to woman by its assimilating addressing and treatment.
