- Description
- This book examines the relationship between words and images in various life-writing works produced by nineteenth to twenty-first century American and British women. It addresses the politics of images in women’s life writing, contending that the presence or absence of images is often strategic. Including a range of different forms of life writing, chapters draw on traditional (auto)biographies, travel narratives, memoirs, diaries, autofiction, cancer narratives, graphic memoirs, artistic installations, quilts and online performances, as life writing moves from page to screen and other media. The book explores a wide range of women who have crossed the boundary between text and image: painters who have become writers, novelists who have become painters, writers who hesitate between images and words, models who seize the camera, and artists who use the frame as a page.

- Description
- This book analyzes the literary and cultural representation of several iconic Mexican women. He examines recent fictionalizations of the historical women Malinche, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Leona Vicario, the soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution and Frida Kahlo, who achieved mythical status in Mexican culture and continue to play a complex role in Mexican literature. Focusing on contemporary novels, plays, and chronicles in connection to films, television series, and corridos of the Mexican Revolution, the author analyzes how and why authors repeatedly recreate the lives of these historical women from contemporary perspectives, often generating hybrid narratives that fuse history, memory, and fiction.

- Description
- Historical films by female directors featuring female characters are often criticised for being too emotional and incapable of expressing real history. Erhart situates women filmmakers' work within a context of other women directors from the UK, the United States, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere. She connects their strategies for repesenting gender in films with exploring the past through the prism of the present. Besides she explores how historiographical concepts like valor, memory and resistance are uniquely re-envisioned within sub-genres including biopics, historical documentaries and holocaust movies.

- Description
- Volume about media representations and practices that have emerged out of contemporary wars. The author considers two questions: how the construction of gender, race and class in media are productive of regimes of truth regarding war and military life, and how such constructions may intensify militarism. By examining news and documentary media produced since September 11, 2001, she demonstrates that news narratives that include women use feminism selectively in gender equality narratives. They tend to reinforce historically resonant gender, race and class identity constructions.
