Hélène Cixous: Phallogocentrism and "Writing the Body"

[lovelymamacita]

i agree that you are embarrassing yourself. you pronounce every other word wrong. You don't even come close to understanding Cixous. WOW!! 

[lovesGenet]

These issues? But what is "boring" writing- when brilliant minds like Jagger,Wittig Kristeva,Cixous are invested anything&everything becomes invigorated . Also because she mispronounces Helene does not mean she is ignorant about feminism. The question is did she contribute anything to our knowledge of female writing& phallocentric models.No,in 2 minutes maybe not. But this is a miraculous resource for those who want to research &those who have something to say!

Shisho? Learn how to pronounce plz.

[akowalia]

take this video off because you're embarrassing yourself. and check your pronunciation next time

[sfb008008]

Eh, better analysis is certainly due. When I read this piece I thought of Cixous as speaking from the abyss of the other, attempting to evade and subvert patriarchal necessity in language.

[ll0llll0ll]

Erin. you got a nice body, especially the bottom part. is that what you tried to explain?

[Chicorykey]

I'm sorry this is awful and shows no understanding of Cixous theories. The appalling mistakes are laughable.

[nyamoyuki]

oh dear! well, anyone can put themselves on UTube; why did I bother watching this? Poor girl hasn't got a clue - never mind. I've just read Cixous for the first time (the Last Painting), and I am inspired - can't believe I haven't read her before - her work makes absolute sense - passionate, emotional and authoritative - I will definitely be reading more!

[wardabajda]

why doesn't this dumbo shut up?

[Bob5478]

I don't know why people seem to think there's a "k" in her name, it's not, the name is pronounced: "see'soo", stress on the second syllable. believe me, I'm European;-)

[nelissah]

@Bob5478 it's pronounced seeksoo!

[serafinaj]

Ok...what the heck is this? I don't think you understood her piece at all. And if you're going to try and give an opinion on an AMAZING writer/theorist/teacher's work and you don't know how to pronounce her name, LOOK IT UP. It's "Seek-soo" not "Shiz-oo"...!!! I'm flabbergasted by this video to be honest. Seriously, what the fuck.

[Iberianwildwolf]

xixou??

[cyborglilith]

this is a stupid video, we never should have found it next to Cixous herself! it is quite a pity.....

[miasm]

'or whatever her name is' -- ? comeon... consider a second take.

[sanuka15]

read! think! re-think! and only then talk

If you have done so before...

your lost !

"i'm all for writing from experience, but if [...] their story is boring what's the point to hearing it?" I personally am all for listening to other people's opinions and criticisms, but if their discussion has, quite frankly, the intellectual properties of a half digested vegetable, then what's the point of taking it seriously..?

Don't take on what you don't understand love, leave Cixous alone and get back on wikipedia:

more more your domain, i feel.

[Requiem9867482348478]

It's pronounced 'Sick-Sue'. I'm currently studying her in my Philosophy class.

[braillehiphop]

... missed Cixous completely...final sentence revealed fascistic thinking....or is it just that you are a bit boring?

[mishulici]

read Hélène Cixous, Rootprints: Memory and Life Writing By Hélène Cixous, Mireille Calle-Gruber and you'll see what historical means and why i was critical

[mikebott]

i can't be so generous. even when she's not using french her voice grates.

[mishulici]

hhaha her French sucks..she didn't understand Cixous's writing at all

maybe she hasn't an historical approach of things...
