In her doctoral thesis Kirstin Mertlitsch outlines a starting point for a (re-)formulation of feminist and queer philosophy. She contrasts the notion of a universal male reason with the notion of 'conceptual persons' (Deleuze/Guattari). Thinking along the notion of 'conceptual persons' is rooted in corporealities and society and takes place both through knowledge and affects. The everyday practices of 'conceptual persons' set sight on new horizons of the process of 'Becoming-Different' and thus influence and shape their male and female readers. Mertlitsch identifies the thinking patterns of 'sister', 'nomadic subject', 'new mestiza', 'cyborg' and 'drag' and analyzes the transformations of the epistemological processes they engender.
