Woolf in 1902 by George Charles Beresford Portrait of Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941), a British author and feminist, with her chignon. A black and white portrait photograph of Virginia Woolf shown in soft three-quarter profile facing left. She has dark hair swept up and gathered into a low, loose chignon at the nape of her neck. Her features are delicate — a long, fine nose, deep-set eyes with a contemplative, faraway gaze, and a gentle mouth. She wears a light-colored blouse with a soft, slightly ruffled or gathered neckline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Woolf#/media/File:George_Charles_Beresford_-_Virginia_Woolf_in_1902_-_Restoration.jpg

📚💙 ‘The Frenchmen’ by Emily Eakin - recovering the hidden human element beneath stringent antihumanism 📚 #booksky #FrenchTheory #memoir #biography #philosophy #literature #bookreviews #bookrecs #booklovers #LiteraryCriticism #books
newyorker.com The New Yorker @newyorker.com · Jul 25
Philosophers such as Jacques Lacan, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida have garnered a reputation for being impenetrable. A new book aims “to recover the hidden human element beneath their often stringent antihumanism.”

The Men Who Made Theory French
French theory, as taught in American classrooms, has acquired a reputation of forbidding difficulty and hauteur. A new history seeks to surface its human side.
