- 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
- 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.

- Description
- Images of 'good mothers' saturate the media, yet so too do images of mothers who do not fit this mold. Numerous scholars have addressed 'bad mothers' in the media, arguing that these images are a necessary counterpoint that serves to buttress the 'good mother' myth. The authors in this volume explore how images of mothers have expanded beyond the good/bad dichotomy, simultaneously and sometimes paradoxically serving to reinforce, fracture, and/or transcend the ideology of good motherhood. Contents: Sara E. Hayden / Heather L. Hundley: Challenging the motherhood myth: Suzy D’Enbeau / Patrice M. Buzzanell: Counter-intensive mothering: exploring transgressive portrayals and transcendence on ‘Mad Men’: Elizabeth Fish Hatfield: Motherhood and mental health: Carrie Mathison’s Homeland pregnancy: Katherine J.

- Description
- This volume analyzes representations of the mother in francophone post-2000 literature and films in North America. Contributors reexamine the 'horrible mother' paradigm to broaden the understanding of mothering beyond traditional ideology (e.g. the working multitasking mother, the absent mother and the liberated mother). The chapters focus on the predominant theme of the mother in order to reassess questions of for example identity, guilt, heteronormativity and childlesness. They refer to works of writers or filmmakers such as Nelly Arcan, Grégoire Chabot, Marguerite Andersen and Xavier Dolan.
