- Description
- Geïnspireerd door een serie schilderijen van haar vriendin Françoise Gilot schreef Lisa Alther een modern sprookje. Een succesvolle en ogenschijnlijk gelukkige man breekt radicaal met zijn verleden en verlaat zijn vrouw en zoon. Tijdens zijn reizen ontmoet hij een geheimzinnige vrouw, een danseres, die hem inwijdt in de danskunst. De auteur verbeeldt in dit verhaal thema's als liefde en geweld, verlangen en eenzaamheid en de rol van het vrouwelijke in mannen. Een parabel die volgens de auteur van toepassing is op iedere situatie waarin kennis voor wijsheid wordt versleten, en macht voor kracht. De publicatie bevat 4 afbeeldingen van schilderijen van Françoise Gilot over het thema 'de Zwerver' en een voorwoord van haar hand over haar werk, materiaalgebruik en thema's en over haar vriendschap met Lisa Alther. Daarna volgt een inleiding van Lisa Alther over haar werk als romanschrijfster, haar kennismaking met de werken van Françoise Gilot en het verhaal dat de afbeeldingen aan haar vertelden.

- Description
- The author maps how transnational itineraries of Indian beauty and fashion shaped South Asian American cultural identities and racialized belonging from the 1990s through the first decade of the twenty-first century. She observes how diasporic subjects engage with and respond to various encounters with Indian beauty and fashion. .She examines a range of literature, visual art, and live performance, such as novels by Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri, young adult literature, performance art by Shailja Patel, beauty and adornment practices, as well as objects of popular culture including an Indian American fashion doll, Reddy challenges fashion and beauty as a set of dematerialized, overly commodified cultural practices. She argues instead that beauty and fashion structure South Asian Americans' uneven access to social mobility, capital, and citizenship, and she demonstrates their varying capacities to produce social attachments across national, class, racial, gender, and generational divides.

- The father is an enduring and iconic figure in Hollywood cinema and in the 1990s, narratives of redemptive fatherhood featured prominently in some of the decade's most popular films like Kindergarten Cop (1990), Mrs Doubtfire (1993), Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lion King (1994). Interpreting such films through the lens of feminist and queer theory, along with masculinity studies and psychoanalysis, Katie Barnett offers an insightful and interdisciplinary discussion of cinematic fathers. Barnett reveals that the father figure is often portrayed as one that invests in and is part of a discourse of reproductive futurism. This plays out across a range of genres including rom-coms, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, and disaster. By exploring both blockbuster and more low-budget films of the 1990s, Barnett explores the figure of the father against the crisis of masculinity in the United States, and indeed more globally, at this time.

- 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.

- Description
- In the late 1980s, after a decade spent engaged in more routine interest-group politics, thousands of lesbians and gay men responded to the AIDS crisis by taking to the streets. But by the early 1990s, the organization they founded, ACT UP, was no more—even as the AIDS epidemic raged on. Weaving together interviews with activists, extensive research, and reflections on the author’s time as a member of the organization, this book tells the story of the rise and fall of ACT UP, highlighting a key factor in its trajectory: emotion. Overlooked by many scholars of social movements, emotion, Gould argues, plays a fundamental role in political activism. From anger to hope, pride to shame, and solidarity to despair, feelings played a significant part in ACT UP’s style of protest, which included demonstrations, die-ins, and other kinds of street theater.

- Description
- The author posits the late twentieth-century increase in incest literature against political and economic changes of the era. Issues of race, class and gender are emphasized in textual analysis, which is combined with theory –feminist and multidisciplinary– and discussion of the culture of the era. The author is particularly concerned with the effects of neoliberal ideology on patriarchal distributions of power within nationally constructed fantasies of the Freudian concept of the family romance. She discusses different concepts of trauma, the history and cultural variations of the incest taboo and the so called 'memory wars' in the debate on incest.
