Levine: "Critics in the past three decades have worked hard to resist and unsettle social unities and totalities, celebrating instead difference and diversity. Take poststructuralist feminist Luce Irigaray, for example, who argues strenuously against “the discrimination and individualization of form.' She decries this as the “phallomorphism” of the West, the 'value granted to the only definable form . . . the one of form, of the individual, of the (male) sexual organ, of the proper name, of the proper meaning.' While the masculine West understands the world through and as constraining singular form, she argues, women’s sexuality offers an emancipatory alternative because it is diffuse and plural."
