	20th WCP: Classical Greek Philosophical Paideia in Light of the Postmodern Occidentalism of Jacques Derrida
		On the one hand, the phallogocentric argument as defended by Derrida carries on the Romantics' concern with the darker sides of Western culture: the hidden prejudices, unquestioned assumptions and unacknowledged marginalizations.
		The exponents of the phallogocentric argument, however, self-aggrandizingly elide the fact that Greek philosophical paideia is deeply infused with the accomplishments as well as the failings, the extensions as well as the limitations of both rationality and patriarchal masculinity.
		The phallogocentric argument simply obfuscates the dynamic of the on-going cultural dialectic between apodictic and aporetic gnosis in the West.

		For Butler argues that in their desire to find a universal basis for feminism, feminists may be duplicating the regulatory practices of phallogocentrism and compulsory heterosexuality.
		On Butler's account, gender would appear to be the effect of a series of per formative acts, and not the assumption of the role demanded by a particular "natural" sex.
		In analyzing the work of Levi-Strauss, Freud and Lacan, she argues that accounts of the incest taboo as the mechanism for enforcing discreet and coherent gender identities give homosexuality and bisexuality prediscursive origins (before the entry into the Symbolic) which are therefore unintelligible within the dominant culture.

	Feminism Feminist Women Criticism - Cixous's The Laugh of the Medusa Against Showalter's Feminist Criticism in the ...
		Phallogocentrism is the notion that the penis (phallus) is the (symbolic) creative center of creating language and literature.
		Cixous does not view women as inferior to or 'lacking' something to men, and she wants to turn the idea of lack into the idea of excess; she wants to challenge the binary opposition that is evident in phallogocentric constructions of language.
		Within the Freudian paradigm (a space where phallogocentrism flourishes) female sexuality is viewed and defined in relation to or in opposition to male sexuality.

	Definition of Phallogocentrism
		Logocentrism, also called phallogocentrism, is a neologism coined by Jacques Derrida, used in Deconstruction (a postmodern form of philosophical criticism and literary criticism) to refer to the perceived tendency of Western thought to locate the center of any discourse within the logos (speech and words) and the phallus (embodiments representing the male genitalia).
		It is also the tendential priviledging of the signified over the signifier, asserting the signified's status as more natural or pure.

		Another example is the dichotomy between presence and absence, with presence occupying a higher status in Western thought than absence.
		The similarities between each of the "higher" Western concepts such as rational and presence, as well as others such as male (vs. female) and speech (vs. writing) are thought to betray a historic bias in Western thought called logocentrism or phallogocentrism.
		The critique of binary oppositions is an important part of post-feminism, post-colonialism, post-anarchism, and critical race theory, which argue that the perceived binary dichotomy between man/woman, civilized/savage, and caucasian/non-caucasian have perpetuated and legitimized Western power structures favoring "civilized" white men.

		Such a system not only might liberate female sexuality but male sexuality as well, in that it might destroy the idea that male sexuality is located in only one place (the penis), and thus liberate men to explore their own sexuality in all its facets.
		She challenges the reader to rethink the notions of sexuality and asks one to expand or discard the preconceived notions of what sexuality means in a phallogocentric culture.
		She envisions a sexuality and a system based on excess and plurality, one in which females and males relate to one another directly; a sexuality and system that is limitless in scope, fluid in practice, ever-changing and ever-expanding.

		ALBANY - An upstate appellate panel yesterday affirmed administrative sanctions imposed on a tenured English teacher who persisted in teaching "phallogocentrism" - a feminist literary theory centering on phallic symbolism - to his 11th grade honors class despite warnings to tone down his use of sexual imagery.
		Under a settlement, the teacher agreed to use only reading materials consistent with district policy, to refrain from using controversial materials that were not first reviewed by the principal and to carefully monitor the content of his students' projects that were to be distributed throughout the school or among the general public.
		Another said that while she too taught phallogocentrism, she did not find it necessary to use sexually explicit terms.

		For only once we understand what is really at stake in the generation of the transcendent from the immanent--the origin of the human--are we ready to attend to the specific sense in which the Phallus may be said to embody the transcendent.
		The "phallogocentric" exists to be denounced by those who seek a space for utopian eschatology in an era that has increasingly shown it to be discredited.
		When we understand that the resentful term "phallogocentrism" reflects no more and no less than the originary urgency of deferring masculine violence, we will abandon the victimary structure of sexual and metaphysical binarism for a more self-aware and self-respecting mode of thought.

		Phallogocentrism consists in assimilating all being and all language to male dominance, to man as the norm and the arbiter of meaning.
		I readily concede the accuracy of the description of lines 4568 as a careful attempt by the speaker to give an account of human nature that applies equally to his beloved and himself.
		The phallogocentrism of “man” is that of the language at large, not specifically that of the speaker.

		The traditional notion of incarnation where God became enfleshed in the world to save humanity is not as intriguing as John Cobb's notion of the Logos<3> or Elizabeth Johnson's female images of the Divine used to destabilize phallogocentric thought that has silenced women as objects of the gaze.
		She uses the image of a speculum, a curved mirror reflecting back on itself, instead of the flat Lacanian mirror that is used to reflect or mirror back the gaze of the person holding it (see Lacan; Irigaray: 1985a; see also Fuss for a good explanation of Irigaray's theories).
		hooks claims fl women's spectatorship as a location for destabilizing white womanhood as object of the phallogocentric gaze, and relocates fl women's sight as a location for resistance against the dualistic nature of mere surveyor and surveyed, or subject and object.

	The Ultimate Deconstruction - American History Information Guide and Reference
		Deconstruction's central concern is a radical critique of the Enlightenment project and of metaphysics, including in particular the founding texts by such philosophers as Plato, Rousseau, and Husserl, but also other sorts of texts, including literature.
		Deconstruction identifies in the Western philosophical tradition a "metaphysics of presence" (also known as logocentrism or sometimes phallogocentrism) which holds that speech-thought (the logos) is a privileged, ideal, and self-present entity, through which all discourse and meaning are derived.
		According to deconstructive readers, one of the phallogocentrisms of modernism is the distinction between speech (logos) and writing, with writing historically being thought of as derivative to logos.

		It could be answered that écriture féminine does not refer to an actual body, but to the way in which phallogocentric language systems have constructed the feminine body as lacking, castrated, and other to masculine bodies.
		Feminists theorists have understood jouissance in terms of the feminine, and have argued for the potential of jouissance to both reflect women's pleasure, and to disrupt the phallogocentric dominance of a text.
		Phallogocentric language is rule-based, linear, structured, directive, and assertive.

	Cyberfeminism
		It explains the patriarchal social hierarchies by its phallogocentrism; it attacks western centering of privileged knowledge, its conception of objective reason, its binary rational dichotomies, and its abstractions which permitted, justified, and developed an oppressive intersubjectictivity in which women were subordinated in all dimensions and levels of life.
		One of the manifestations of western phallogocentrism, according to this line of argument, is to be seen in meta-narratives and in their role in the formation of the western mind and human coexistence.
		Within the phallogocentric culture men were traditionally identified with the truth or the quest for truth and transcendence, while women were identified with "simulation, imitation, lies, and intrigues" - and this is exactly what makes cyberspace "feminine".

		The purpose of these sharp tools, Anagnostaki suggests, is to clear away the superimposed phallogocentric meanings of these palimpsests and reveal the strengths and flaws of the stories: “through continuous scraping off of the foreign layers the archetype must be found in its pure simple essence” (17).
		The mechanics of this death are, finally, perpetuated in the twin realm of phallogocentrism, that of the phallic vision.
		But phallogocentrism is insensible, as the state of death―the annulment of resistance and of consciousness for the necessity of resistance―is. The evil which does not hurt is death.

		Veiling herself was essential because she chose to express her feminist views -- that the sexes are equal, that women, like men, may be called to any vocation, and that women have a right to suffrage -- in a widely-read and vigorously anti-feminist publication.
		Phallogocentrism conveys the idea that our culture invests its construction of masculine modes of being with power and subordinates feminine modes of being.
		As Margaret Roman has argued, Jewett's feminist reform was mainly concerned with challenging phallogocentrism.

		Refiguring the Other as the Same may reinforce phallogocentric forms of representation as well as the phallogocentric forms of desire and thought conditioned by the internalization of these representations.
		Irigaray attributes Freud’s understanding and perception of women to a phallogocentric imaginary: his perception of women is conditioned by the system of meaning he has internalized Imagining becomes less phallogocentric when the tendency to think in dualistic terms is diminished.
		Hers are contradictory words, somewhat mad from the standpoint of reason, inaudible for whoever listens to them with ready-made grids, with fully elaborated code in hand (1985b, 29).” From a phallocentric perspective ‘Woman’s’ language, her style of speech is irrational, out-of-control, without clear beginning and end.

	Derrida and feminism
		Surely someone showing the necessary complicity in every posture of such a break, would be the enemy of a life-bearing feminism that dreams of ridding the earth all forms of gendered and raced oppression.
		The aspiration of the radical break with phallogocentrism that feminism so desperately needs and proclaims in order to function and re-appear as liberatory, is paradoxically also the silent repetition of universalist, sexist and racist violence.
		But to focus only on the negativity of such a complicity would be a very lopsided view of deconstruction; one that does not match with Derrida's tone, and one that would just regressively mourn the loss of the fantasy of control of the subject.

		That is why cyborg politics insist on noise and advocate pollution, rejoicing in the illegitimate fusion of animal and machine.

	The Dialectic Suppression of Feminist Thought in Radical Pedagogy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		My ultimate goal here, however, is to show that the dialectical structure through which radical pedagogy presently operates does not have to be a totalizing construction.
		Instead, I will argue that the dialectic of radical pedagogy is merely inadequate for an increasingly pluralistic culture and that through feminist deconstruction of the phallogocentrism of the dialectic, a reconstruction can take place which allows feminist thought to engage fully in a multiplicity of dialectics which will ultimately bring about positive social change.
		Irigaray's theory of women as the unrepresentable is also seen clearly in the phallocratic theories of language espoused by Lacan.

		Derrida might argue that both "hysteria" and feminism are both part of a phallogocentric social network.
		If feminism is merely a form of phallogocentrism, then Derrida, however much he gestures at historical necessity, would be equating all of feminism with a teleological search for the essence of woman.
		Derrida also reduces all male/female binaries to its phallogocentric form: presence/absence of the penis-phallus by assuming that all searches for truth or logocentrism are necessarily phallogocentrism.

	Phallocentrism and Logocentrism: Relating to Feminisms
		I have argued throughout that sexual difference as male/female cannot be ethical in a Levinasian sense since it is one of the primary modes of reducing the Other to more of the Same by creating (op)positionalities of ideal binaries: the "first" level of the actual phallic function.
		Feminism is nothing but the operation of a woman who aspires to be like a man. And in order to resemble the masculine dogmatic philosopher this woman lays claim–just as much claim as he–to truth, science and objectivity in all their castrated delusions of virility.
		Because phallogocentrism is figured here as "mainstyle" deconstruction’s primary "object" of analysis, and "mainstyle" psychoanalysis is argued as being even more phallogocentric than Derrida has argued, the relationship is one of radically different "analyses of repressions." What about the relation of these two "mainstyles" to feminisms?
