Across thirteen chapters, Irigarayan space is thematized as porous, fluid, continuous, and self-differentiating. Contributors engage with the origins of life, affect, the aesthetics of the maternal and placental, an Irigarayan morphology inclusive of trans embodiment, and-in a rare focus-the expression of sexuate specificity in creative practice. \u003ci\u003eTopologies of Sexual Difference\u003c\/i\u003e thus demonstrates the fundamental importance of Irigaray's rethinking of space for Western philosophy and the visual arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouise Burchill\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar and a former Honorary Fellow at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, University of Melbourne. \u003cb\u003eRebecca Hill\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University.
