− | [[ | + | The [[gaze]] entices, inspects, fascinates. The [[voice]] hypnotizes, seduces, disarms. Are ''gaze'' and ''voice'' part of the [[relationship]] we call [[love]] . . . or [[hate]]? If so, what part? How do they function? This provocative book examines love as the mediating entity in the essential [[antagonism]] between the [[sexes]], and ''gaze'' and ''voice'' as love’s medium. The contributors proceed from the [[Lacanian]] premise that “there is no [[sexual]] relationship,” that the sexes are in no way complementary and that love—figured in the gaze and the voice —embodies the promise and [[impossibility]] of any relation between [[them]]. |

− | [[ | + | The first detailed Lacanian elaboration of this topic, ''Gaze and Voice as Love [[Objects]]'' examines the status of gaze, voice, and love in [[philosophy]] from [[Plato]] to [[Kant]], in [[ideology]] from early [[Christianity]] to contemporary [[cynicism]], in [[music]] from Hildegard of Bingen to Richard [[Wagner]], in [[literature]] from Edith Wharton’s ''Age of Innocence'' to Kazuo Ishiguro’s ''The Remains of the Day'', and in [[cinema]] from Michael Powell’s ''Peeping Tom'' to Kieslowski’s ''A Short [[Film]] on Love. Throughout'', the contributors seek to show that the [[conflict]] between the sexes is the site of a larger battle over the destiny of [[modernity]]. With insights into the underlying target of racist and sexist [[violence]], this book offers surprising revelations into the [[nature]] of an ancient enigma—love. |
