Without a Woman to Read: Toward the Daughter in Postmodernism

Exploring the interplay of silence and voice, this work delves into themes of maternity, paternity, and the complexities of gender roles within political and social contexts. It navigates the intersections of postmodern philosophy, political theory, feminism, and literary criticism, offering a transformative view of metaphorical spaces related to womanhood. Central to the discussion is a reevaluation of Levinas's ethical ontology, challenging traditional metaphysics and advocating for a world shaped by evolving metaphors of familial relationships.
