In Retrieving Experience, Sonia Kruks engages critically with the postmodern turn in feminist and social theory. She contends that, although postmodern analyses yield important insights about the place of discourse in constituting subjectivity, they lack the ability to examine how experience often exceeds the limits of discourse. To address this lack and explain why it matters for feminist politics, Kruks retrieves and employs aspects of postwar French existential theorya tradition that, she argues, postmodernism has obscured by militantly rejecting its own genealogy.Kruks seeks to refocus our attention on the importance for feminism of embodied and lived experiences. Through her original readings of Simone de Beauvoir and other existential thinkersincluding Sartre, Fanon, and MerleauPontyand her own analyses inspired by their work, Kruks sheds new light on central problems in feminist theory and politics. These include debates about subjectivity and individual agency; questions about recognition and identity politics; and discussion of whether embodied experiences may sometimes facilitate solidarity among groups of different women.

This book is packed with insightful analysis but can be quite dense at times. I enjoyed the discussions around subjectivity, yet I found myself re-reading sections for better understanding. It’s a solid read but not for everyone.

Disappointed with the Delivery Process
I was really looking forward to reading this book, but it arrived a week late, which was frustrating. The content itself is interesting, but the shipping delay took away from the excitement of getting it. Hoping for better next time.
