The Interval

The book delves into the concept of the interval of sexual difference as central to Irigaray's philosophy. Hill extends this idea by reinterpreting Aristotle's notion of topos and Bergson's duration, revealing a sexed hierarchy in their works. She argues that these concepts are crucial for feminist discourse on sexual difference, emphasizing that the interval should be seen not merely as a space between identities, but as a dynamic threshold of becoming that shapes identity and enables the emergence of sexed subjectivity and intersubjectivity.
