Gayle L. Ormiston Traces of Derrida: Nietzsche's Image of Woman
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
The focus of this essay is to display and to work within the congruent levels of discourse at play in Nietzsche's text, with particular reference to the trope ''woman." Derrida's treatment of Nietzsche produced in Eperons: Les Styles de Nietzsche provides the medium, the universe of discourse if you will, for reading Nietzsche's deployment of "woman" in his writings. Derrida is a prop (perhaps a decoy) that sets up the discourse in the following fashion: Nietzsche's metaphor of the vita femina ("life is a woman") is comprehended in light of and integrated with Derrida's conception o/la femme-verite ("woman-truth"). The desire of this reading is to question the following: (i) the ideal or idol of feminism and antifeminism, i.e., the image, the figure of woman as such, woman engenderedthrough the idiom of what should be the case or the condition of woman as a human being; and (ii) the presumptuous attitude of the feminist and/or anti-feminist, scholar or priest, that a particular discourse, her/his discourse, is of any interest or pertinence to women or woman.
