Women's Ways of Knowing: It is All About Love!

Carla Locatelli

University of Trento, Italy, carla.locatelli{at}unitn.it, Department of English, University of Pennslvania, PA, USA

Love of knowledge is at the core of women's ways of knowing. The sustaining meditation of this article is the need to define in gynocentric terms what knowledge is, and how it can be formed, represented, and transmitted. The goal is to make this knowledge equally recognizable, just as the patriarchial knowledge secured by cultural memory is recognized and honoured. The relational ambivalence of love captures well both women's valorization of the relational quality of knowledge and the politics of desire that informs a feminist epistemology.

Key Words: co(n)text • (dis)identification • (gynocentric) cultural memory • politics of desire • relational ambivalence
