LOVE'S EXCLUDED SUBJECTS: STAGING IRIGARAY'S HETERONORMATIVE ESSENTIALISM

Abstract

This essay responds to Luce Irigaray's essentialist call for men and women to assume their proper places in love's division of labour. In it, I propose a queer reading of her call, resituating it as a confining aesthetic for solo performance.
