Abstract: Drawing heavily on the work of classicist Page duBois, which eloquently explains the emergence, in ancient Greece, of hierarchy and of what is still understood today as the great chain of being (scala naturae: male, female, slave, barbarian, animal), this paper analyzes the age-old negative conotations of the concept of difference in western culture, considers the reinvention of difference as “positive” by Rosi Braidotti (after Deleuze & Guattari), and reassesses the efforts of several other feminist philosophers (e.g. Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, Gayatry Spivak, Drucilla Cornell) to counter Lacan on the impossibility of “speaking women” beyond the dominant (male) philosophical discourse. Or, to paraphrase Marie Cardinal, their efforts to find “les mots pour le dire”.
Com base na obra da classicista Page duBois, que eloquentemente explica o aparecimento, na Grécia antiga, da hierarquia e daquilo que ainda hoje é entendido como a grande cadeia do ser (scala naturae: homem, mulher, escravo, bárbaro, animal), este ensaio debruça-se sobre as velhas conotações negativas do conceito de diferença na cultura ocidental, pondera a reinvenção da diferença como “positiva” por Rosi Braidotti (na peugada de Deleuze & Guattari) e reconsidera os esforços de várias filósofas feministas (e.g. Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, Gayatri Spivak, Drucilla Cornell) para negar a impossibilidade lacaniana de “falar mulheres” independentemente do discurso filosófico dominante (masculino). Ou, parafraseando Marie Cardinal, os esforços destas feministas contemporâneas para encontrar “les mots pour le dire”.
