- Description
- This book addresses the transformation of the exotic dance industry, focusing on the ways that corporate chains have changed both the performance and reception of striptease. The author, drawing on her own experience as an exotic dancer, examines the ways that striptease embodies conflicting notions of race, class, and female sexuality, and how the exotic dance industry deploys these differences to codify and commodify our erotic imagination. With case studies.

- Description
- Reading Jack Kerouac's 'On the road' through Virginia Woolf's 'A room of one's own', the author examines women's road narratives. The study shows how women's literature has inscribed itself into the American discourse of the 'freedom of the road'. Women writers have participated in this myth, yet at the same time also have rejected it as fundamentally based on gendered and racial/ethnic hierarchies and power structures. The book analyzes stories about female runaways, outlaws, adventurers, kidnaps, biker chicks and travelling saleswomen and makes theoretical observations on the debates regarding discourses of spatiality and mobility.
