| Summary: | Grief takes time; it has taken time to write this book review bearing in mind that Hanneke Canters died before Forever Fluid was published, and Grace M. Jantzen died not long after its publication. To be fair to the authors we need to read Forever Fluid in its own right independent of any biographies. Yet in fairness to this text, the readers must also attend to its vital message that goes beyond its play with intertextuality—to life!! Luce Irigaray's Elemental Passions reworks the pre-Socratic Greek Philosopher's account of the metaphysical elements: earth, water, air and fire. Canters and Jantzen follow suit and reread Irigaray's account of the passions as elemental forces of life and death, love and hate, peace and violent conflict, whose dissonance can be transcended to some degree. |
