- Description
- Selection of texts published since the publication of 'The Gender of Modernism' (record 31115). The works have been grouped into twenty-one thematic sections, with theoretical introductions to the primary texts. The selections explore continental modernism and moves on to colonial and postcolonial sites. They deal with the intersections of gender with an array of social identifications, including global location, ideas of race, passing, the queering of sexualities, medicine, and experiences of trauma and war.

- Description
- This collection brings feminist critique to bear on contemporary postfeminist mass media culture, analyzing phenomena ranging from action films featuring violent heroines to the “girling” of aging women in productions such as the movie Something’s Gotta Give and the British television series 10 Years Younger.This book broadly defines that feminism has accomplished its goals and is now a thing of the past. It presumes that women are unsatisfied with their legal and social equality and can find fulfillment only through practices of transformation and empowerment. Postfeminism is defined by class, age, and racial exclusions: it is youth-obsessed and white and middle-class by default. Anchored in consumption as a strategy and leisure as a site for the production of the self, postfeminist mass media assumes that the pleasures and lifestyles with which it is associated are somehow universally shared and, perhaps more significantly, universally accessible.

- Description
- The author draws on anthropology, feminism and psychoanalysis to develop her theory of gender and of how people become sexed beings. She argues that recent theorizing on subjectivity, agency and culture has opened up possibilities for rethinking the relationship between gender, sexuality and symbolism.

- Description
- This is an academic book written on women and body hair, which has been seen until now as too trivial, ridiculous or revolting to write about. Even feminist writers or researchers on the body have found remarkably little to say about body hair, usually ignoring it completely. It would appear that the only texts to elaborate on body hair are guides on how to remove it, medical texts on ‘hirsutism’, or fetishistic pornography on ‘hairy’ women. The Last Taboo also questions how and why any particular issue can become defined as ‘self-evidently’ too silly or too mad to write about. Using a wide range of thinking from gender theory, queer theory, critical and literary theory, history and anthropology the contributors argue that body hair plays a central role in masculinity and femininity and cultural and sexual identities.

- Description
- Interrogating a broad array of lesbian, gay, and feminist theories, this book considers instances of unnecessarily divisive turf-battling, yet focuses primarily on the productive debates that define and vitalize the field. Moving beyond the classic opposition that pits the sex-positive leftist academy against abstract “sexism” and “homophobia,” Foertsch’s text isolates oppositions within gender and sexuality studies, considering homophobic feminist theories, sexist (or anti-feminist) gay theories, and the field’s tendency to triangulate itself in two-against-one fashion or in contests between two camps for the allegiance of the third.
