Cultural critic Lidia Curti takes us through a diverse range of texts in a broad spectrum of media and genres, drawing on feminist, psychoanalytic, postmodern, and postcolonial theory in a challenging and rigorous discussion of such themes as hybridity and monstrosity, the male and female gaze, melancholia, desire, and paranoia.\u003cbr\u003e From Angela Carter and Toni Morrison to Jeanette Winterson and Jane Bowles, from daytime t.v. to Shakespearean drama, Curti examines variegated textualities in search of the spaces and times that narrative occupies in women's lives. Following de Certeau's dictum that our stories order our world, providing the mimetic and mythical structures for experience, she argues that women must retrace their way in the interminable plurality of female narrative texts as a strategy for resisting the official closure of female identity. \u003cb\u003eFemale Stories, Female Bodies\u003c\/b\u003e takes us on such a journey, bringing the body of female narrative to bear on the lived experiences of women everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 8.51 x 5.47 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52702620614963,"sku":"9780814715734","price":73.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MG5TUTdYTnJTOVN5S0NtNzNLTmczUT09.webp?v=1763312493","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/female-stories-female-bodies-narrative-identity-and-representation-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
