![]() Öz Bu makale Margaret Atwood'un 2005 yılında yayınladığı The Penelopiad adlı romanını Luce Irigaray'ın dişi özne ve ataerkil ve anaerkil kültürlerin çatışma alanı olarak mitolojinin yeniden okunması tartışması bağlamında inceleyektir. ![]() Ultimately, this paper contends that Horkheimer and Adorno undertheorize women's experience of subjectivity, which seems to explain why they exclude Helen from their analysis. As much as the eponymous hero of the poem, Helen exhibits the incipient features of an individuated (and alienated) proto-bourgeois subject. ![]() This paper re-reads the treacherous beauty through Horkheimer and Adorno's critical perspective, arguing that despite Helen's exclusion from the text of Dialectic of Enlightenment, she is nevertheless centrally relevant to its thesis. Yet, conspicuously absent from Horkheimer and Adorno's analysis-and previous feminist commentaries on their analysis-is Homer's paragon of feminine sensuality: Helen of Argos and Troy. ![]() Horkheimer and Adorno interpret Homer's female characters as sensual forces of nature that Odysseus must resist in his quest for homecoming. Especially relevant for feminist theorists is the pair’s excursus on Homer's Odyssey, which reads the hero’s epic journey as an allegory for the emergence of subjectivity. Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment laid indispensable groundwork for critiquing instrumental rationality and the power dynamics imbedded in discursive logic. ![]()
