- Description
- An exploration of contemporary novels written by female Spanish writers, 'Becoming and Consumption' is structured around feminist philosophy and identity politics. It provides insight into the diverse yet lively subcultures created due to the characters' desires to consume and associate the self with others that share the same commonality. The novels of the contemporary Spanish women writers who are the object of study - Lucía Etxebarria, Gabriela Bustelo, Silvia Grijalba, and Susana Plané - provide a fertile ground to examine culture and identity vis-à-vis consumption practices during postmodern times.
