Deep dives
Understanding Becoming Woman
The concept of 'Becoming Woman' in Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy is explored as a significant movement away from traditional Western ideals associated with stability and foundationalism. This idea of becoming emphasizes fluidity, dynamic existence, and the rejection of a singular, male-centered perspective of knowledge and identity. Rather than viewing becoming woman merely as a counter to man through a simplistic binary lens, it suggests a more complex, impure nature of becoming that challenges the notion of purity in feminism and otherness. The podcast delves into how this perspective serves as a foundational key to all forms of becoming, revealing the intricate relationship between gender identity and broader philosophical discourses.
