2. Making a body without organs : Amélie Nothomb's an-organic flux of immanence -- 3. Becoming otherwise : the transformative encounter in Ananda Devi's writing -- 4. The flux and folds of consciousness : Marie Darrieussecq's literature of simulation and dispersal -- 5. Nomadic vitalities : becoming beyond boundaries in Nina Bouraoui's writing.

Subject: A critical investigation of contemporary statements of the female body in French literature and philosophy. Following a long tradition of objectification, 20th-century French feminism often sought to liberate the female body from the confines of patriarchal logos and to inscribe its rhythms in writing. Amaleena Damle addresses questions of bodies, boundaries and philosophical discourses by exploring the intersections between a range of contemporary philosophers and authors on the subject of contemporary female corporeality and transformation.
