- Description
- The refusal to recognize kinship relations among slaves, interracial couples, and same-sex partners is steeped in historical and cultural taboos. In this book Peterson explores the ways in which non-normative relationships bear the stigma of death that American culture vehemently denies.Probing Derrida’s notion of spectrality as well as Orlando Patterson’s concept of “social death,” Peterson examines how death, mourning, and violence condition all kinship relations. Through Charles Chesnutt’s The Conjure Woman, Peterson lays bare concepts of self-possession and dispossession, freedom and slavery. He reads Toni Morrison’s Beloved against theoretical and historical accounts of ethics, kinship, and violence in order to ask what it means to claim one’s kin as property. He concludes that socially dead “others” can be reanimated only if we avow the mortality and mourning that lie at the root of all kinship relations.

- Description
- Analysis of representations of women as linked to death, produced by women writers and artists. Religious rituals, literature, film and war journalism are analysed. A central question is whether female writers and artists have rejected the dominant discourses of sexual fascination around women and death and produced different representations. Attention is paid to the cultural change in the 18th century, whereby death became more pronouncedly gendered than in the early modern period. This was in keeping with the new emphasis on sexual dichotomy in medicine, anthropology and philosophy.

- Description
- This book probes the complex literary and cultural roots of the Chinese ghost tradition. The author shows that the representation of female ghosts expresses cultural concerns of central importance: the interrelationship between love and death, sexuality and fertility, disease and the body: the construction of a subjective voice for the dead as a means to test the promise of literary immortality: the nature of historical time and the present's mourning of the past, particularly in the context of dynastic fall and conquest: and, finally, the theater's ability to undo death and resurrect the past by staging the reunion between body and soul.

- Description
- This book explodes the myth of the passive Victorian woman, and demonstrates how women rose to the challenges of the age of empire and industry. Queen Victoria herself had a profound impact on her female subjects. She strongly influenced their attitudes to marriage, motherhood and bereavement. It was during her reign that many pioneering women pushed back the boundaries of the masculine world, and fought for recognition of their skills as doctors, teachers, artists and adventurers. In addition, the daily struggles of countless working women are movingly presented, based on the evidence of novels, paintings and their own first-hand accounts

- Description
- This study shows how representations of death in young adult literature are associated with issues of sexuality, gender and power. It focuses on texts produced since the late-1980s and draws on a range of theoretical perspectives. Some subjects discussed are woman/death and the eroticization and sexualization of death. Through readings of historical literature, fanatsay fictions and reaslistic novels, the author reveals how relevant the study of death to adolescent fiction is.
