    Time in Feminist Phenomenology (edited book)
    Indiana University Press. 2011.
    The contributors to this international volume take up questions about a phenomenology of time that begins with and attunes to gender issues. Themes such as feminist conceptions of time, change and becoming, the body and identity, memory and modes of experience, and the relevance of time as a moral and political question, shape Time in Feminist Phenomenology and allow readers to explore connections between feminist philosophy, phenomenology, and time. With its insistence on the importance of gend…Read more

    "Disillusioned with life as a literary publicist in London, as well as with her hotshot, unevolved TV presenter boyfriend, Rosie Richardson chucks the glitz and escapes to run a refugee camp in the African desert. When famine strikes and a massive refugee influx threatens to overwhelm the camp... Richardson returns to London to organize a star-studded and risky emergency appeal."--Front jacket.

    What are the ethical, political and cultural consequences of forgetting how to trust our senses? How can artworks help us see, sense, think, and interact in ways that are outside of the systems of convention and order that frame so much of our lives? In Cultivating Perception through Artworks, Helen Fielding challenges us to think alongside and according to artworks, cultivating a perception of what is really there and being expressed by them. Drawing from and expanding on the work of philosophe…Read more

Engaging with themes such as the historical trajectory of feminist phenomenology, ways of perceiving and making sense of the contemporary world, and the feminist body in health and ethics, these essays affirm the base of the discipline as well as open new theoretical spaces for work that bridges bioethics, social identity, physical ability, …Read more
  • Feminist Phenomenology Futures (edited book)
    with Dorothea Olkowski
    Indiana University Press. 2017.
  • This dissertation employs a phenomenological perspective to explore recent attempts in poststructuralist feminist theory to return to the body. Importantly, these current approaches try to theorize the body in a way that avoids biological and essentialist accounts; what this means, however, is that they think the body in terms of representation and signification, and not embodiment. This is not surprising given that in this modern epoch, which is characterized by a propersity to rationalize all …Read more

    White Logic and the Constancy of Color
    In Dorothea Olkowski & Gail Weiss (eds.), Feminist Interpretations of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Pennsylvania State University Press. pp. 71-89. 2006.
    This chapter considers the ways in which whiteness as a skin color and ideology becomes a dominant level that sets the background against which all things, people and relations appear. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, it takes up a series of films by Bruce Nauman and Marlon Riggs to consider ways in which this level is phenomenally challenged providing insights into the embodiment of racialization.

    Dwelling and Public Art: Serra and Bourgeois
    In Patricia M. Locke & Rachel McCann (eds.), Merleau-Ponty: Space, Place, Architecture, Ohio University Press. pp. 258-281. 2015.
    How do permanent artworks installed in public places shape the relations that take place around them? Drawing upon the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Luce Irigaray I claim that two public artworks, Richard Serra’s Tilted Spheres (2002-2004) and a bronze casting of Louise Bourgeois’ Maman (1999) work to open up embodied being and to creatively transform reality. Serra’s work reveals an important aspect of public space, that of the space/time of the anonymous body, as well as the ways in which…Read more

    Open Future, Regaining Possibility
    In Helen A. Fielding & Dorothea Olkowski (eds.), Feminist Phenomenology Futures, Indiana University Press. pp. 91-109. 2017.
    Helen Fielding considers how the repetition of the same can be phenomenally shifted. Considering the phenomenon of death by suicide in response to cyberbullying, she asks how cyberspace as a system can be opened up and become more responsive to the living affect of young women subjected to abuse. At the heart of this problem is the breakdown of personal time into objective time, whereby the inexhaustible potentiality of the living world is collapsed into the indifferent infinity of the possible …Read more

    A Feminist Phenomenology Manifesto
    In Helen A. Fielding & Dorothea Olkowski (eds.), Feminist Phenomenology Futures, Indiana University Press. 2017.
    In this volume we situate the future directions of feminist phenomenology in the here and now. We contend that in this moment feminist phenomenology is well positioned to take a leading role, not simply in terms of consolidating existing feminist methodologies but also in engaging the difficult task of thinking through the actual in the fullness of its relational, agential, ontological, experiential, and fleshly being, thereby opening up future possibilities. We also think there is some urgency …Read more

    A Phenomenology of 'The Other World': On Irigaray's' To Paint the Invisible'
    Chiasmi International: Trilingual Studies Concerning Merleau-Ponty's Thought 9 518-534. 2008.
    As we know, Merleau-Ponty was struggling with a dynamic shift in his thinking at the premature end of his life. In those last notes he raises the question of how to elaborate a phenomenology of “’the other world’, as the limit of a phenomenology of the imaginary and the ‘hidden’”—a phenomenology that would open onto an invisible life, community, other and culture. In her essay on “Eye and Mind”, “To Paint the Invisible”, Luce Irigaray argues that Merleau-Ponty was not yet ready to address this q…Read more

    This chapter is an examination of the debate around essences in feminist philosophy and theorizing. Here, essences are rethought through Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology as carnal or embodied essences. As such, embodied essences are found at the joints, the hollows that are not inside us but that connect us, so that we are not isolated within cultural and historical zones. Embodied essences can be taken up in language as idealities

    Questioning “Homeland” through Yael Bartana's Wild Seeds
    In Christina Schües, Dorothea Olkowski & Helen Fielding (eds.), Time in Feminist Phenomenology, Indiana University Press. pp. 149. 2011.
    Helen Fielding, in examining Yael Bartana’s video art works, in particular, Wild Seeds (2005), argues that politics seem to privilege the temporal, and video art thus lends itself to this enactment. Drawing upon Hannah Arendt, she concludes that the in-between, while a space and not a territory, is more a spacing, a taking place between people “no matter where they happen to be” than a place as such. In Bartana’s works, the temporal aspect of video allows her to open up a time-space, or rather …Read more

    Fielding discusses how Michel Foucault and Maurice Merleau-Ponty view spatial and temporal bodies. Foucault dismisses the understanding of an inside soul surrounded by a body.

    Phenomenally strong artworks have the potential to anchor us in reality and to cultivate our perception. For the most part, we barely notice the world around us, as we are too often elsewhere, texting, coordinating schedules, planning ahead, navigating what needs to be done. This is the level of our age that shapes the ways we encounter things and others. In such a world it is no wonder we no longer trust our senses. But as feminists have long argued, thinking grounded in embodied experience can…Read more

    This Body of Art: The Singular Plural of the Feminine
    Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 36 (3): 277-292. 2005.
    I explore the possibility that the feminine, like art, can be thought in terms of Jean-Luc Nancy’s concept of the singular plural. In Les Muses, Nancy claims that art provides for the rethinking of a technë not ruled by instrumentality. Specifically, in rethinking aesthetics in terms of the debates laid out by Kant, Hegel and Heidegger, he resituates the ontological in terms of the specificity of the techniques of each particular artwork; each artwork establishes relations particular to its worl…Read more

    Luce Irigaray, To Paint the Invisible, translation and interview
    Continental Philosophy Review 37 (4): 389-405. 2004.
    In this essay, which is preceded by an interview with the translator, Luce Irigaray revisits her earlier critique of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s privileging of the visible, but also takes further her own thinking by drawing specifically on the issues raised within the context of painting and the creation of artworks. The focal point of her discussion is Merleau-Ponty’s essay on art, “Eye and Mind.”

    Questioning nature: Irigaray, Heidegger and the potentiality of matter
    Continental Philosophy Review 36 (1): 1-26. 2003.
    Irigaray's insistence on sexual difference as the primary difference arises out of a phenomenological perception of nature. Drawing on Heidegger's insights into physis, she begins with his critique of the nature/culture binary. Both philosophers maintain that nature is not matter to be ordered by technical know-how; yet Irigaray reveals that although Heidegger distinguishes physis from techn in his work, his forgetting of the potentiality of matter, the maternal-feminine, and the two-fold essenc…Read more
