Elspeth Probyn
"This is an excellent book, persuasive and a pleasure to read. It
performs an exciting turn away from some of the tiring oppositions
that regulate debate in cultural studies, while modelling an
unusually generous intellectual and political culture. This is a
useful and "inspiring work; I think that many students of these
issues will find, as I have, their own projects both supported and
critically extended by reading this book."
-Meaghan Morris
"Elspeth Probyn has made an important and highly original
contribution to the problem of experience in feminism and cultural
studies. She offers a way of relocating experience within cultural
analysis without falling into the traps of so many contemporary
strategies. This is one of those rare books which actually does
advance theoretical and critical reflection. It should have a
profound impact on some of the central debates in cultural theory
and politics."
-Lawrence Grossberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
