Abstract (en)

Objects to McEvilley's use of the term nature/culture in a lecture, Currents and cross-currents in feminist art, arguing that such a construct, pitting women body artists of the 1970s (including the author) against feminist deconstructionists, advances the idea that women artists working with nature have accepted their bodies at the expense of their cognitive minds, and that deconstructionist artists have accepted their intellects at the expense of their sensuous bodies.
