"This is an original and refreshing use of phenomenological theory to address the kinds of
questions--about orientations and about how bodies and objects become oriented through their
interrelations--that help link it more directly to political and social questions--about gender
sexuality and race for example--that have tended to be treated as outside or beyond
phenomenological frameworks. This extension and development of phenomenology is a major
contribution."--Elizabeth Grosz author of "The Nick of Time: Politics Evolution and the
Untimely"
