Resumo: This paper presents the thought of Emmanuel Lévinas about women and about sex differences to explore what Jacques Derrida calls the two possibilities of reading Lévinas. The first, androcentric, identifies the traditional hierarchical separation between male and female. Thesecond possibility of reading Lévinas, according to Derrida, sees the expansion of the meaning of women into the feminine, amplifying Levinas’s propositions of feminity as an opening to otherness. Lévinas turns the feminine into a privileged figure of ethics and otherness. Derrida will depart from this idea of Lévinas about the feminine to think of unconditional hospitality, radicalizing his view of openness to others.

A primeira, androcêntrica, identifica a tradicional separação hierárquica entre masculino e feminino. Na segunda possibilidade de leitura, Derrida enxerga em Lévinas a ampliação do feminino para além da mulher, amplificando as proposições levinasianas do feminino como abertura à alteridade. Lévinas faz do feminino uma figura privilegiada da ética e da alteridade. Derrida partirá desse pensamento levinasiano do feminino para pensar em hospitalidade incondicional, radicalizando essa ideia de abertura ao outro.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2011-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X201100020000410.1590/S0104-026X2011000200004Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2011); 371Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 19 Núm. 2 (2011); 371Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 19 n. 2 (2011); 3711806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2011000200004/19308Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodrigues, Carla2018-08-14T16:45:44Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/21384Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:08.437077Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
