Becoming Undone – Darwinian Reflections on Life, Politics, and Art Grosz
Becoming UndoneDarwinian Reflections on Life, Politics, and Art\nAuthor(s): Elizabeth Grosz\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Duke University Press, United States\nImprint: Duke University Press\nISBN-13: 9780822350538, 978-0822350538\nSynopsis\nIn Becoming Undone, Elizabeth Grosz addresses three related concepts-life, politics, and art-by exploring the implications of Charles Darwins account of the evolution of species. Challenging characterizations of Darwins work as a form of genetic determinism, Grosz shows that his writing reveals an insistence on the difference between natural selection and sexual selection, the principles that regulate survival and attractiveness, respectively. Sexual selection complicates natural selection by introducing aesthetic factors and the expression of individual will, desire, or pleasure. Grosz explores how Darwins theory of sexual selection transforms philosophy, our understanding of humanity in its male and female forms, our ideas of political relation.
