The anguish laid bare: the body in Angelica Liddell

This paper studies the thought about the body deployed in the writing as a whole of Angelica Liddell. It starts with the redefinition of the body that Liddell does, regarding the Christian tradition, and the ethical and political dimension that this redefinition implies, especially in the field of a certain feminism with which Liddell implicitly and controversially talks. The paper combines description and analysis by using the conceptual tools that posdeconstructive thought about the body also provides, specifically the one presented, among others, by Jean-Luc Nancy, whose ideas about strangeness, exposure, and excess in relation to the body are especially useful in this case.
