• Chapter 1: In the Beginnings: Introducing Poetics of Deconstruction Chapter 2: The Animal Cure: inhaling the other in Dean SpanleyChapter 3: Raising Animals: between the basement and the kennel in The Woman Chapter 4: Speculations: gesture in Conceiving Ada and Absent PresenceChapter 5: Outlaws: towards a posthumanist feminine in Dancer in the DarkChapter 6: ‘Unfamiliar Unconscious’: the performativity of Infinity KissesChapter 7: In Lieu of Conclusion: White God

Lynn Turner’s exhilarating, elegant, and very important book overturns common conceptions about human exceptionalism, hospitality, the place accorded to the feminine, and animal intimacy. Turner shows how, at its ‘heart’, deconstruction entreats us to listen for the poetic rhythms that link the fundamental questions of life to the stereographic rhythms that speak to us from the heart of the other.
