ABSTRACT
Irigaray’s training in philosophy and psychoanalysis informs her discussions of
space, time and matter, and the way in which these construct our
understandings of architecture. This chapter shows that Irigaray’s training in
linguistics is also central to her analyses of sexed subjects and spaces. In Key
Writings, for example, her academic training in linguistics and literature, and her
career as a psychotherapist, inform her ‘work on language’ (2004, p. 35).
