Product Description

Product Description

This text is a discussion of how the individual has two sorts of relationships with an "other" - other individuals. The first regards the other as a seperate but equivalent centre of being who can be known and can recognize oneself in return. The second uses the other as a mental repository for unwanted characteristics cast from the self. The author shows the implications of this dual relationship for male/female hierarchy and offers a possibility for balancing the two. The book continues the author's explorations of the themes of intersubjectivity and gender, taking up issues at the forefront of debates in feminist theory and psychoanalysis.


From the Back Cover

Shadow of the Other is a discussion of how the individual has two sorts of relationships with an "other"--other individuals. The first regards the other as a s work apart is her brilliant utilization of a systematic dialectical approach to her subject, always maintaining the delicate balance between opposing tensions: masculinity and femininity, subjectivity and objectivity, passivity and activity, love and aggression, fantasy and reality, modernism and postmodernism, the intrapsychic and the intersubjective. Benjamin s work apart is her brilliant utilization of a systematic dialectical approach to her subject, always maintaining the delicate balance between opposing other as a mental repository fo unwanted characteristics cast from the self.

Jessica benjamin shows the implications of this dual relationship for male/female hierarchy and offers a possibility for balancing the two. This book continues the author's well-known explorations of the themes of intersubjectivity and gender, taking up issues at the forefront of contemporary debates in feminist theory and psychoanalysis.

First Sentence
In reflecting on the one-hundredth anniversary of Studies on Hysteria, I felt impelled to remember an earlier point, the seventy-fifth anniversary, in which the rebirth of the feminist movement occurred-a movement that had at least equal importance for the inventor of the "talking cure," Anna O., a movement that has been shadowing psychoanalysis since its inception and has, in our time, called for and led to a massive revision in how we view ourselves and the subjects of those original Studies. Read the first page
