Abstract
During the 1990s, texts of critical and feminist psychologies challenged taken-for-granted notions of natural, empirical bodies. The implications of these challenges for speaking of embodiment have become increasingly troublesome. Drawing on poststructuralist theories, this paper reads three critical and/or feminist psychological texts to problematize the theoretical constitution of embodiment. These readings are focused on the question of how the multi-vocal possibilities of critical/feminist psydiscourse enable us to speak of embodying domination and transforming social power relations.
